9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,720

Speaker 2: Yes, Halloween is on Friday. Recording this on Wednesday, so

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: getting hyped for that while you're in full Halloween form

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: with the Jackson Ellington T shirt. Got to love it

20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: because that's basically Halloween and Christmas combined, which a lot

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: of people are really teetering. Okay, and we were talking

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: before we start recording. Some people are already putting up

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: their Christmas stuff. What do you guys think of the comments?

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: Like?

25
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: Is it too early to put off Christmas stuff before

26
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: Halloween starts? When is the actual ideal time? I remember

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 2: it used to be like after Thanksgiving, but.

28
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: It's the day after Thanksgiving.

29
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 3: But now you turn on.

30
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: The TV and you'll see ads for Christmas stuff before

31
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: Halloween has even arrived.

32
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: So, buddy, have you been to a Walmart. They had

33
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: had like August, they had all the Christmas stuff that

34
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: was going up, but they've been up for months. They're done.

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, I agree, it's just sooner and sooner. But

36
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's vibes, man, It's it's vibes. And get

37
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: your candy with your candy canes out there for trick

38
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: or treating. Fitzie, what are you going to be for

39
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: Halloween this year?

40
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: No costume planned, Welsh. But before we get to the

41
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: candy canes, we have to to finish with the candy corn.

42
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 3: Are you guys? Candy corn? Guys are like people. It

43
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: seems like it's a love it or hate it type

44
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: of candy.

45
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Uh, I'm I can do for candy corn? Corn, but

46
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: I think I've got weird taste. I'm also I mean,

47
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: this is if I'm already not disliked. I'm a pineapple

48
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: on the pizza guy, So I think I can also

49
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: do like the candy corns. I think I probably sit

50
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: in the world of the trendy things to hate. I

51
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: tend to actually like, so I'm not actively seeking out

52
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: candy corn, but I'm a thumbs up on candy corn Erickson.

53
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: I think candy corn is good after like seven pieces,

54
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: and then after that it's going in the trash. So

55
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: everything in hoderation, I think, especially with candy. I also

56
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: approve the pineapple on pizza. The fruit sweetness works really

57
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: the fattiness of the pizza. It's a very good pairing.

58
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: Although when my wife and I order it, we don't

59
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: get ham we get pepperoni instead, so a little bit

60
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: more of the spice.

61
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: I just just do the pine I have never been

62
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: in a room where we cleared house on pineapple pizza.

63
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: That's incredible. So I mean, wow, clean swat that pizza

64
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be gone consensus ranks. Look at Louisiana in

65
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: a couple months.

66
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: We're gonna get murdered in the YouTube card.

67
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: Dude, people are going to be so pissed off.

68
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: Is going to be mad at us. The full blooded

69
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 3: Italian is going to be upset with us about that take.

70
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 3: I mean he he is aggrieved by the pineapple on

71
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: pizza concept.

72
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: Okay, we're not putting candy corn on pizza, guys, so

73
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: calm down. But I'm not going to read the comments

74
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: because I know it'll be hat. All right, let's talk

75
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: about some ranks here. We talked about some pineapple pizza.

76
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: We talked about some candy. Let's talk about who was

77
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: the most accurate ranker and guess what Week eight is live.

78
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: You guys can check all your ranks out on fantasypros

79
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: dot com slash rankings. We also have the accuracy tab.

80
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: Shout out to the number one ranker in the land.

81
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: The Great Dalton Dell Dawn from the Deep Shot finished

82
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: number one in week eight, but it was followed up

83
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: by the one and only Pat Fitzmorris. Regardless of going

84
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott over bow Nicks last week, it didn't matter

85
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: because Pat, you were simply too good. You finished two overall.

86
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: And another shout out because we always do the top three.

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: Mick Chiolella. I call him Mike. I always screw up

88
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: Mix's last name, and I screwed up the first. Mick

89
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: chi Ella, who was on this show a bunch last year,

90
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: finished third, So top three, but Fitzi flowers, My man,

91
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: that's an incredible top two finish. I want to say,

92
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: isn't that your second top two finish? Didn't you finish first?

93
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: One of these weeks there was Debro that finished first.

94
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: You finished. I think it was Debro, and I can't

95
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: remember if I was two or three. That was when

96
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: we had Ellis. Brynn Johnson was also top three. I

97
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 3: can't remember how it shook out. I believe Debro was

98
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 3: number one. But yeah, I with the Dak Prescott over Boonix,

99
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 3: and I was too low on Ronde gadinst in the second,

100
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: as a lot of people have been reminding me. But

101
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: you know, I guess a few things worked out. But

102
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: we were talking about this before the show. How you

103
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: do in the rankings any in any given week really

104
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: doesn't matter to the people who are leaning on you

105
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: for that one lineup call. So anyone who benched Ronde

106
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: gadst in the second because of where I had him

107
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: ranked thinks I'm a full regardless of the fact that

108
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 3: I was second the contest least.

109
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't be right about all the stuff we

110
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: want we want to be. We can have right takes

111
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: where we want to get guys in and we just

112
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: can't put them over and they go nuts. We can, Ericson,

113
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: we can like Dak Prescott over Bonnicks, and sometimes it

114
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: doesn't end up working for me. But you know that's

115
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: how it goes. But Ericson, I want to also give

116
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: you some flowers here. You've finished. I believe it was

117
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: in the top twenty five, maybe it was thirty, but

118
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: beside that you had two top twelve finishes positionally number

119
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: five and wide receiver and number eleven in quarterback. So

120
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: some flowers deserved, my friend, as you are both on

121
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: the season long ranks. I believe inside the top twenty

122
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: five if I remember now, I'm not no, I'm like, no,

123
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: it's the top three.

124
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: I'm the low No, I'm the low man. I'm the

125
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: Fantasy Pros team.

126
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: Well, I also work here, so thanks about that, But

127
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: I would be the low man on that comparatively, well, No,

128
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: Joe and those guys would be. I am ahead of

129
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: Joe Piezapia, which is really my only goal each week.

130
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: But just want to give you a shout out. You've

131
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: ranked very well on wide receivers and quarterbacks. I think

132
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: you've done pretty well on wide receivers all year long,

133
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: and those are our shutouts. So are you going to

134
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: try to kill it again this week?

135
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: Yes? Ideally. I mean, I don't know if I have

136
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: a spicy number one like I've had the last two weeks.

137
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: Rice finally delivered, you know, after doing and ranked them

138
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 2: number one or talked about him as number one. Last

139
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: week he finished number two, so you know that was

140
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: a good call. And then I mean when you talk

141
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 2: about I finished top five and receivers, I can tell

142
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: it's because I was higher on Rice than Consensus and

143
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: Troy Franklin, like like those two guys alone, because they

144
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: were the number two scores at the position. I'm just

145
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: being higher on those guys versus consensus is definitely what

146
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: helped put me up inside the top five.

147
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: All right, Well again, Dalton Dell, Don Pat Fitzmorris, and

148
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: Mick chile Ella shout out to the boys for the

149
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: top three finishes. Let's about some wide receiver ranks, but

150
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: before we do. I believe this is your last opportunity

151
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: to take some wide receiver action home with you, because

152

Speaker 1: All right, Fantasypros dot Com slash rankings to follow along, gentlemen,

167
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: Let's jump into it a little later than usual to

168
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: get to the ranks, but we are here. Let's look

169
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: at the big board with our top twelve wide receivers

170
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: for the week, and it kicks off off with no

171
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: other than Jamar Chase Pukinakua, Jackson Smith and Jigba Cde Lambamnas,

172
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: Saint Brown and Rashi Rice. That is your top six

173
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, Romadun Say, Devonte Adams, Michael Pittman, DK Metcalf

174
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: and George Pickens. Let's jump back to Rashie Rice when

175
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: we're looking at the top twelve. Obviously the top twelve,

176
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: these are all, you know, the starters that you're jumping into.

177
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: Maybe there's some decisions you do four teams on a buy,

178
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: So I'm really not sure many people are gifted the

179
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, the extra ability to decide between incredible players,

180
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: but sometimes important to talk about the weight of the

181
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: and the value of some of these guys. And you

182
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: two are both quite a bit higher than consensus on

183
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: Rashi Rice, Fitz, You've got him at four, Ericson you're

184
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: back at three. Fitz. Let's start with you as the

185
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: highest ranker from the previous week. Rashi Rice well over consensus.

186
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: Is he also comparatively going to be over Xavier Worthy

187
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: as he completely taken over that spot.

188
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know about that. I think Worthy has

189
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 3: still he still has value. But I was initially with

190
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: ECR on Rashi Rice. I had him at wide receiver six.

191
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: But then I had a bit of a rethink on

192
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: this after we got the news about Isaiah Picchecko's mcl

193
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 3: sprain and the way the Chiefs use Rashi Rice. It's

194
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 3: kind of an extension of their running game with these

195
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: quick passes wide receiver screens. Just get the ball quickly

196
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: to Rashi Rice and let them weave through traffic. Isaiah

197
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: Pachecko's absence could mean an even bigger role for Rice

198
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: this week. And we're talking about a dude who's already

199
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: had sixteen catches and two rushing attempts in his first

200
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: two games back from suspension.

201
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been using him in that weird like goal

202
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: line package, which has been interesting. But by the way,

203
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: shout out to Rashie Rice for coming up like a

204
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: half a yard short from my first my first Kareem

205
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: Hunt touchdown being able to cash for last week. But yeah,

206
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: if you used him two straight weeks in that like

207
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: weird goal line package, so it creates extra opportunities. Erickson,

208
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: what do you think I mean? You've had two big

209
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: weeks of Rashi Rice ranking really really high. Your full

210
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: commitment is there's not a to be made. If you

211
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: have Rashi Rice, He's over pretty much everybody.

212
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. And I'm looking at my rank

213
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: at him at number three, and I think that I

214
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: could even push him higher. You talk about what he's

215
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: done over the last two weeks. Have the Chiefs been

216
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 2: pushed offensively in the last two weeks in any capacity?

217
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: They've blown out both things that they faced. And I

218
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: know that the Commander's game was tied seven to seven

219
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 2: going into the half, But if you look at that

220
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: first half, Rashi Rice really didn't do that much in

221
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: the first half. Again, he didn't score that touchdown. A

222
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: lot of his production came in the second half. So

223
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: when the Chiefs are blowing out other teams, Rashie Rice

224
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: is first in Fantasy points per game. And now you're

225
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: facing Buffalo for okay, now we can get a shootout

226
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: where it's more back and forth. So when you're just

227
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: talking who has the most upside on this slight at

228
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: wide receiver, I mean, Rashie Rice looks like he could

229
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: score multiple touchdowns every single week because of how much

230
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: they're using him around the red zone. He is mahomes

231
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: guy near the red zone, So in a matchup where

232
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: you could see it actually go more back and forth,

233
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 2: Rice's ceiling is I think one of the highest, if

234
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: not the highest.

235
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: In Week nine, there's a couple of wide receivers that

236
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: you know have really incredible matchups. I'd say where shei

237
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: Rice is one of them. Roman Dunes is also kind

238
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: of put into this where you know, maybe there's overall questions,

239
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: but you've got the Bengals that are floating out there.

240
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: You like George Pickens, who's going up against the Cardinals.

241
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: The Colts have kind of typically struggled in their secondary,

242
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: so like DK metcalf is floating in there. But I

243
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: think one of the biggest outlier for this week in

244
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: the Week one ranks are the Week nine ranks for

245
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver ones is Michael Pittman. Michael Pittman comes in

246
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: as wide receiver ten going up against Pittsburgh. Obviously, the

247
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: matchup kind of, you know, speaks in a really well spot.

248
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: Both of you are slightly lower than ECR, but you

249
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: guys do have a difference between one of you is

250
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver one. The other's top end of wide receiver

251
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: two and FITZI, you are the wide receiver one on

252
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman. So not that Ericksons is necessarily going to disagree.

253
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: The rank isn't like that far off, but your firm

254
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: stance that Michael Pittman is in a spot where you

255
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: were starting him over. Significant players are starting him over. Lad,

256
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: you're starting him maybe I actually I'm not looking at

257
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: your rank, but ECR has Pittman over Pickins. Is that

258
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: something you're doing. You're all in on Pittman this week?

259
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I do have Pittman ahead of Pickens. Pittman

260
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 3: is wide receiver seven in half point PPR fantasy scoring

261
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: and wide receiver twelve in fantasy points per game. And

262
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 3: I don't just want to say scoreboard and leave the

263
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 3: analysis at that. Pittman has scored six touchdowns in eight games,

264
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: so like, that's a career high in touchdowns for him.

265
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 3: So it's probably good to be a little cautious with

266
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: the players scoring touchdowns in a normally high rate. But

267
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 3: on the other hand, Pittman has eight or more targets

268
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 3: in half of his eight games, and in two of

269
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 3: the four games where he had fewer than eight targets.

270
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 3: The Colts won by twenty or more points, so the

271
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: blowout game script might have tamped down his target volume

272
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: a little bit. I think we can feel pretty confident

273
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: about Pittman's target load in these competitive games, and I'd

274
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: like to think Colts Steelers in Pittsburgh will be a

275
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: competitive game. Plus, the Colts offense is just so high

276
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: functioning right now. It's just that sort of booyies your

277
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: confidence in Pittman that everything has just worked so well,

278
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 3: both in the running game and the passing game.

279
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: Erickson, what do you think you've got him at thirteen?

280
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: It's I'm curious that the wide receiver that jumped over

281
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: to make him a wide receiver two. It is kind

282
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: of minuscule. But do you have any thoughts? Is your

283
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: confidence of a little bit lower? You know you've got

284
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: him as the first of the wide receiver twos?

285
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: I think for me, it's just trying to be a

286
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: little hesitant with how the target shakeout because we see

287
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: the Colts passing game. They spread the ball to a

288
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: lot of different players. And yes, Pittman eight last week,

289
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: but you saw Downs and Tyler Warren kind of eat

290
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: into each other right, Tyler Warren was one of the

291
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: few tight ends didn't pop off on National tight Ends Day.

292
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: It's a good matchup for him against Pittsburgh. Steers have

293
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: been bad against tight ends this season, so I think

294
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 2: that Pittman has obviously done enough this year where he's

295
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: a touchdown machine and this offense is functioning such a

296
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: high level, and you want to play guys against the Steelers.

297
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: All the Colts are in play here, but it's a

298
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: matter of well, what if it's Al Pierce that comes

299
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: down with the touchdown, it's not my Pittman, or it's

300
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: Josh Downs that ends up seeing the nine targets and

301
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: Pittman goes back to four or five. So that's like

302
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: the only concern, which is like locked and loaded. But

303
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 2: matchup wise, you want to play all your receivers against

304
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steers allowing the most fantasy points per game two

305
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: perimeter wide receivers, And I know they play a lot

306
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: of man coverage, but for Pittman, his target share has

307
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: been pretty steady. Whether it's zone or man. He's been

308
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: efficient against both of those types of coverages. So I mean,

309
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: you're starting him, And the only reason I had trouble

310
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: kind of figuring out where to rank him was. I

311
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: got a couple question marks about like where am I

312
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: putting Nico Collins this week? Like where's Drake London going

313
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: this week? So those are kind of guys in a

314
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: similar tier to Pittman, and I just have question marks

315
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: about like, well, they're they're both injured last week? Are

316
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: they going to play this week? So that's kind of

317
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: cause a shake up, but you're you're starting Pittman no matter.

318
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: What I was, I was just going to ask how

319
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 3: you have Pittman ranked Visa v. London and Collins very

320
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: good receivers with tough matchups this week?

321
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it looks like Sirtan's not going to play,

322
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: So I think that's definitely works in a favor for

323
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: Nico Collins that you don't have this down corner on

324
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: the other side. So then again, Collins is also not

325
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: been good this year, and the defense of the Broncos

326
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: is still good. So if he just drought has no

327
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: time to throw, then does it really matter who is

328
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: covering Nico Collins? So I just think from a safety perspective,

329
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: I mean, Pittman has just been so good, so even

330
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: if the target floor isn't as high as someone like

331
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: Drake London and then also has really tough matchup Kin Gonzalez.

332
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: So upside, that's what we always want to strive for

333
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: here is who has the most upside And if Pittman

334
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: has touchdown great matchup, I think he is the move

335
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: here even if his target floor isn't as high.

336
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't need I don't know if you need

337
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: Patrick certain Junior if you've got Nick Benito rushing against

338
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 3: the Houston offensive line.

339
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: By the way, is there a logic going back to

340
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: the National tight End Date? How do they decide the date?

341
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: Like any of these things, whether it's like National Second Grandparents' Day,

342
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: it feels like they're like, you know, like buying a star.

343
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: Like I don't understand the logic behind the days, Like

344
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: is there something special about the National tight End Day

345
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: or is that just the only day that wasn't celebrating

346
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, statio ice cream or sandwiches.

347
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: Well, they made sure that it's obviously on a Sunday,

348
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: and they made sure that George Kittle wasn't injured, so

349
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: like when is Kittle going to be back from ir

350
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: make sure he gets the I mean guys, that was

351
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: So it's.

352
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: A floating holiday. So it's a floating holiday. Gotch call today.

353
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: Based around George Kittle's availability and if he's healthy or not.

354
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: And I mean, was there a bigger lock than George

355
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: Kettle's score touchdown last week?

356
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? I know he shows scored too much else.

357
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: Jake Tungus stealing touchdowns from George Kettle on national tight ends?

358
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: Like what do you do in Tungus?

359
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: They're trying to get in more tight ends scoring? All right,

360
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: let's go to the wide receiver tubes here, good conversation

361
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: on those ones. This is thirteen through twenty four. It's

362
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: going to kick off with Lad mcconkee at thirteen, Drake London,

363
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddles, A Flowers, Nico Collins at seventeen, Marvin Harrison

364
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: at eighteen. That's your top half. You've got Brian Thomas

365
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: a nineteen Tenoro and McMillan, Chris olave T Higgins, Courtland

366
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: Sutton and Stefan Digs. Gentlemen, let's take a stop at

367
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison. He is wide receiver eighteen. You guys are

368
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: a little bit flipped on this Fitz a year a

369
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: little bit lower at twenty two, ericson you are right

370
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: on consensus, So ericson, why don't you kick us off

371
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: here with your take on Marvin Harrison this week.

372
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: He's playing the Dallas Cowboys. That's in the stories like, oh,

373
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: he's playing the Dallas Cowboys. And there's a chance that

374
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: we still don't get Kyler Murray back. And as weird

375
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: as it sounds to admit and say, the offense has

376
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 2: look better with Jacoby Brissett as the starting quarterbacks. So

377
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: jonathangan instead of the beginning of this week, and they

378
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: asked him abou Kyler Murray and his chance to play

379
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: on Monday, So we're never gonna get reports till Thursday

380
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 2: because of the Cardinals playing on Monday night. And Gannon said,

381
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: that's a hypothetical to me. I don't know. This is

382
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: after a bye week that he's asked about his starting

383
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: quarterbacks availability, So that sounds very pessimistic about Kyler Murray,

384
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: who I know some people and maybe whils you can

385
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 2: chime in here being more plugged into the Arizona media

386
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: if this has kind of been like a soft benching

387
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 2: for Kyler and he's not really like totally injured. They

388
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 2: just want to play per set, but they can't bench

389
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: him outright, so they're using the injury as an excuse.

390
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, for all those reasons, you got to play

391
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 2: Martin Hairyo this week.

392
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: I think it's as similar to like the prettiest thing.

393
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: They're not willing to put him out unless he's one

394
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: hundred percent. There's already so much public scrutiny locally here

395
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 1: on Kyler Murray that they're not gonna like, I mean,

396
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: what are they also playing for? You know what? What

397
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: games are they trying? Were they going to catch up

398
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: in that division where everybody is like, you know, five

399
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: and two or five and three whatever, Like I think

400
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: it is. It's not quite a soft bench. It might

401
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: be dulled up as that, but I do not think

402
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: they're willing to like, you know, he's like I'm eighty

403
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: five percent, They're like, well, you're one hundred percent on

404
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: the bench, then he's got to be one hundred percent.

405
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: Fits to what do you think about Marvin Harrison regardless

406
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: of the quarterback play. You guys want a holiday? I

407
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: have about National go up against the Cowboys Day, which

408
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: is every Sunday. That's the one we want to celebrate.

409
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: So yeah, it is kind of easy to just be like,

410
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: it's the Dallas Cowboys because of the gift that continuously

411
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: keeps on giving. But can they give to the Cardinals.

412
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe I am underplaying the great matchup against the

413
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: Cowboys and they're laughably bad pass defense. I certainly was

414
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: guilty of doing that last week and not ranking Bo

415
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 3: Nix or Troy Franklin highly enough. But Man Harrison is

416
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 3: tied for wide receiver forty in half point PPR Fantasy

417
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 3: points per game. He has scored fewer than seven half

418
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 3: point PPR points in four of his seven games, averaging

419
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: just five point seven targets a game. And I am

420
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 3: making this ranking with the projection that Kyler Murray is

421
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: going to play, And I probably would have had Harrison

422
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 3: a couple spots higher had they already ruled out Murray.

423
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: And so the Brissette is going to make the start.

424
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 3: Only two touchdowns for Marvin Harrison Junior so far. I

425
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: just I still worry about the lack of chemistry between

426
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Junior. And it just feels

427
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: like a stretch to rank Harrison as a top twenty

428
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 3: receiver even with a great matchup and even with four teams, I'd.

429
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: Buy ay yea with the I would not have put

430
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: on my bingo card that we would be waiting on

431
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison's rank to make sure Kyler is not starting

432
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: in Jacoby Bris is starting. That would not have been

433
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: the thing that would make him potentially move up or

434
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: down if Kyler is not playing a funny one. All right,

435
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: another guy. We actually had the player on this guy's

436
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: other side in the next range, but let's talk about

437
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: them both together. There's kind of a growing sense that

438
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: this might end up being a Travis Hunter over Brian

439
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: Thomas situation going on in Jacksonville. There seems to be

440
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: some debate about it. We talked about this on Out

441
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: of Bounds, the Twitch show we do with a piece

442
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: of Pa and Bogman and myself, and this question has

443
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: continuously come up. The ranks do not indicate that this

444
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: week Brian Thomas is wide receiver nineteen. You both are

445
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: lower on Brian Thomas, but it is not in respect

446
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: of Travis Hunter jumping over him. So again, he was

447
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: our first guy we were going to talk about in the

448
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: next section, but let's just do it here too. Travis

449
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: Hunter is twenty seven. But you guys are just both

450
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: lower on consensus than both of these guys, more significantly

451
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: about Brian Thomas. Fitzi, you're at twenty four, Ericson you're

452
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: at twenty six. Travis Hunter is ECR twenty seven. Fitzi

453
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: you're at thirty and Ericson you're at twenty nine. So

454
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: just lower overall fits. Why don't we start with you?

455
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: Clearly you do not think that it is going to

456
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: be Travis Hunter over Brian Thomas, but the confidence is

457
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: being lost in both of these wide receivers, and you

458
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: have got him barely holding on as a wide receiver too,

459
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: that is Brian Thomas.

460
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't think like ECR having both of

461
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: these guys as top twenty seven receivers with Trevor Lawrence

462
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 3: playing quarterback when the matchup is not against the Dallas

463
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 3: Cowboys just feels off to me, like someone's too high here.

464
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 3: And I definitely think Brian Thomas is a little too

465
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 3: high in ECR. Like he hurt his shoulder in the

466
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 3: Jaguars last game. The Jaguars were on by last week,

467
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 3: so maybe the shoulder won't be an issue, but we've

468
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 3: already seen Brian Thomas Junior try to play through a

469
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 3: wrist injury this season, and obviously hasn't been a good

470
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 3: season for BTJ to this point. So health is one concern,

471
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 3: and then the other is obviously that we saw big

472
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: surge in Travis Hunter's usage right before the bye, so

473
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 3: I'm not sure BTJ is still the clear number one

474
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: receiver for the Jaguars anymore. And that wouldn't necessarily be

475
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 3: a big problem if BTJ were playing in a prolific

476
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: passing attack, but you know, not really the case with

477
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars. As for Hunter, it's important

478
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 3: not to get too dug in with your stances on

479
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 3: players if you play fantasy football, and I think Travis

480
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 3: Hunter is kind of a good test case for that.

481
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 3: Like I was not very int Travis Hunter before the season,

482
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 3: either for Redraft or Dynasty, and I know the Dynasty

483
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 3: podcast consumers know that. And my biggest concern was the

484
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 3: two way thing. The Jaguars said they wanted Hunter to

485
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: be primarily a wide receiver, but I figured that wasn't

486
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 3: etched in stone, and I worried that things could change

487
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: over the course of the season. Maybe the Jaguars decide

488
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 3: they need Hunter to play more snaps at corner and

489
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: fewer at wide receiver. And I also kind of worried about, well,

490
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 3: the presence of Brian Thomas Junior, who was so good

491
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: last year. I figured he might be sort of an

492
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 3: impediment for Travis Hunter's growth. And at first it seemed

493
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 3: like the cautious approach with Hunter was the right call.

494
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 3: He was playing between half and two thirds of the

495
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 3: snaps in most of his early season games, and it's

496
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 3: just hard to be fantasy relevant if you're not a

497
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 3: full time receiver. Plus, his usage was kind of quirky.

498
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 3: It was all like low a dot, close to the

499
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage stuff, get him the balld, see if

500
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 3: he can do something after the catch. But over his

501
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: last two games, hunter snap shares have been seventy eight

502
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: percent and eighty seven percent. He didn't do much in

503
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 3: the first of those games four catches for fifteen yards

504
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: on seven targets against the Seahawks, but then right before

505
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 3: the bye that big game in London against the Rams,

506
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: eight catches, one hundred and one yards and a touchdown

507
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 3: on fourteen targets. So maybe the genie is out of

508
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 3: the bottle. Here with Travis Hunter on offense, and I

509
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 3: am worried that wide receiver thirty might not be high

510
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 3: enough for ranking for him, But I do you know,

511
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 3: I do think there's kind of a drop off in

512
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 3: the overall wide receiver rankings once we get past wide

513
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: receiver three range this week and Hunter is comfortably inside

514
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 3: that range.

515
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 1: Erickson, do you feel more confident that Brian Thomas is

516
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: fading and these two ranks are more about Thomas or

517
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: I guess I'm I mean, your ranke doesn't really dictate it,

518
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: but like, do you think on the other side, Travis

519
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 1: Hunter is surging and can overpass Brian Thomas? Like what

520
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: are you more staunchy about right now?

521
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: Hmmm, that's a good question because I think that fits

522
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: hit it at the top where this isn't even conversation

523
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: about receivers. It's can Trever Lawrence get these guys to

524
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 2: the pomis Land? Like that's like a big concern. So

525
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 2: in my mind, I'm trying to figure out, Okay, I

526
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: got to try to put Hunter ahead of Thomas, but

527
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: if they both are bad, then what's the difference? Like

528
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: that I want to start either Jaguars receiver this week

529
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: because even Hunter in that game against London, a lot

530
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 2: of that came when the Jaguars are getting blown off

531
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: the field.

532
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: So is that which they'll be.

533
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: Doing all the time, by the way, which is not

534
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: a bad thing.

535
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: But this week you see the matchup against the Raiders

536
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: and you think, okay, another dysfunctional team. Maybe the Jaguars

537
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 2: can get something done here. But the Raiders are also

538
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: coming off a bye week two, so maybe they throw

539
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 2: something different. I mean, you just look at the matchup.

540
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 2: This is just about the quarterback. So the Raiders run

541
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 2: the third highest amount of zone coverage this year. Trevor

542
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 2: Lawrence vers zone has been terrible. Twelve hundred yards, three touchdowns,

543
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 2: four picks, sixty percent completion rate against zone is the

544
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: lowest in the NFL. Passer rating seventy three point seven

545
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: is fifth lowest in the NFL. So I think that

546
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: fits and I are on the ball here with just

547
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 2: being lower on both guys in general, because I don't

548
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: think this is just oh smash spot for this Jags

549
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: offense to come out of the gates firing. I don't

550
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: necessarily think that's the case. When you look at the

551
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 2: receiver conversation. I do think that the matchup favors Travis

552
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 2: Hunter a little bit more than Thomas does. Again, Thomas

553
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 2: has struggled this year anyway to be consistent, and we

554
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 2: have not seen the chemistry with him as much as

555
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: I've been there with Trevor Lawrence and Travis Hunter. The

556
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 2: breadcrumbs are leading us to, hey, we're going to get

557
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 2: more Travis Hunter, specifically on offense. And if the Raiders

558
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 2: are deploying a lot of zone coverage, well what does

559
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: that mean? Who do we see dominant agains zone coverage?

560
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 2: It's these slot guys that are operating underneath, like Travis Hunter.

561
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: Hunter leads the Jaguars and catches this season despite eleven

562
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: fewer targets than Brian Thomas Junior, and the Raiders second

563
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: worst defense against slot receivers because they run so much

564
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 2: zone coverage. So I feel like I want to put

565
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter ahead of Brian Thomas, but I want yeah,

566
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 2: but I want to be below consensus on both guys

567
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: at the same time.

568
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: You can still do that, well, I guess you can't

569
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: do that.

570
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: And that's where the rankings become kind of complex because

571
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 2: I did this with A J. Brown DeVante Smith, where

572
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: I wanted to mark Smith over AJ Brown. He ended

573
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: up having more yards, but A J. Brown has caught

574
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: more touchdowns, So moving Brown down didn't actually benefit anybody

575
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: because you wanted to start both players. But in this case,

576
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that we should be super aggressive starting

577
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: either guy. Although the matchup when I'm kind of looking

578
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: at things, seems like it's going to get more favorable

579
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: for Hunter in just terms of raw volume. But if

580
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 2: it's low a dot stuff, Again, what is four for

581
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: forty really going to do for you? So maybe these

582
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: guys really don't have high ceilings. This week is really

583
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: the conversation and they're more like wide receiver three plays.

584
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: Okay, you get one word response. Fact or fiction. Travis

585
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: Hunter is the number one wide receiver in Jacksonville over

586
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas. Rest of season ericson in fact, FITZI fiction,

587
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: we should we have we needed that, Like what was

588
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: that that music durned or that game show music? That

589
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: tension that was building up there? All right, so we

590
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: have a fact that a fiction of Travis Hunter. That's

591
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: it will continue untill you talk about it, and maybe

592
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: this week will tell us a little bit more of

593
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: a story that we can continue on the next episode.

594
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: One more in this wide receiver range T Higgins. T

595
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: Higgins Wide Receiver twenty two going up against the Chicago Bears.

596
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: FITZI you are, You're a high man here. You've got

597
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: him at eighteen. Ericson's right on consensus fits. Let's jump

598
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: to you here, T Higgins Flacco. I think it was

599
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: a little bit banged up as well. What do you

600
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: think about T Higgins this week?

601
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 3: He might be banged up, but not as banged up

602
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: as the Chicago Bears secondary. The Bears were without their

603
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 3: three best cornerbacks last week. Jalen Johnson, Kyler Gordon, Tyreek

604
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 3: Stevenson all out in week eight. Johnson and Gordon they're

605
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: going to be out again. They're both on IR I believe.

606
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: I'm not sure about Stevenson. It was a shoulder issue,

607
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 3: but you know by no means it's Tyrek Stevens and

608
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: a shutdown cornerback anyway. I just think Bengals receivers versus

609
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 3: Bears cornerbacks is an epic mismatch this week. So I

610
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 3: think both Jamar Chase and T Higgins are going to eat.

611
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: Hard as long as there's no Jake Browning. Though, like browning.

612
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: What can browning do for you? Absolutely nothing, That's what

613
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: we found out. So like, we can't do browning whatsoever?

614
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: What do you think ericson You're you're on consistence for

615
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: T Higgins, He's definitely moved into just a spot. We

616
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: just feel a lot better.

617
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think with me, the only thing I have

618
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 2: hesitant about pushing Higgins up higher is the volume, because

619
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: this offense is Jamar Chase one, Mar Chase two, jamr

620
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: j A's three e. Mar Chase has a forty six

621
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: percent target chair for the Bengals in the last three games,

622
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: So I know I talked about Rice as the highest ceiling.

623
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 2: If you're gonna see twenty targets in a game, then

624
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 2: clearly Jamar Chase obviously has an extremely high ceiling to

625
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 2: be the wide receiver one on the week, and he

626
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: also benefits from all those Bears cornerbacks that which is

627
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: such a banged up secondary. So I think that last

628
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: week it was a little scary seeing Higgins' targets dip

629
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: so dramatically. Now, he did score four to four yard

630
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: touchdown because he's a good player and he could do

631
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: that even on limited volumes. So I think he can

632
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: still find a way to be a wide receiver two

633
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: even if he doesn't see a ton of volume. But

634
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: it was kind of the concern I had that matchup anyway,

635
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: because it was the Jets. The Bengals were able to

636
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: run the ball a little bit more effectively, and Flacco

637
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: attempted twelve few pass attempts than the week before. So

638
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: when we take out ten to twelve pass attempts, it's

639
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 2: not coming out of Chase's targets. It's coming out of

640
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: t Higgins and the tight ends as the ancillary pieces

641
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 2: in the spangles passing attack. So the Bears again terrible

642
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: against the pass, also terrible against the run. So if

643
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 2: Laco is banged up, they want to protect him. How

644
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 2: do they do that? Establish the run game? Get Chase

645
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: Brown going smash p Ryan. So that's my only concern

646
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: with Higgins if he doesn't see enough targets. But as

647
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: we saw last week, he can get it done in

648
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: one big play. So he's still going to be in

649
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: your lineup as a wide receiver two.

650
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: All right, wide receiver three is coming up. But first,

Speaker 1: Wide Receiver threes kicking off with Keenan Allen at twenty five,

688
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: Travis hunter Is at twenty six. We were just talking

689
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: about Xavier Worthy, Jordan Addison, Khalil Shakir, and Deebo Samuel.

690
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: Going up to thirty thirty one to thirty six is Wandell, Robinson,

691
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: Quentin Johnston, Romeo Dobbs, DJ Moore, Jamison Williams, and Juwan Jennings.

692
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Wandell. I think this is actually a

693
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: fantastic matchup in the quarterback episode. I want to talk

694
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: about Jackson Dart because the forty nine Ers defense is garbage.

695
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: They are hurt, they got a bunch of nothing here,

696
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: and you know there's not a ton of pass catchers.

697
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: But I think like Wandell is in a pretty dang

698
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: good spot where I think Jackson Dart is going to

699
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: be able to move around and get the ball to him.

700
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: He's only at thirty one. Fitzi, you've got him at

701
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: twenty seven. Ericson you aren't consensus, so it's back to

702
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: FITZI again, you're a little bit more of the high man.

703
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: I think this is a decent spot against a forty

704
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: nine Ers defense that is just ravaged by injuries, and

705
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: Dart has continuously looked good and the loss of Cam

706
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: Skataboo is I would assume he's probably gonna get the

707
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: ball in the air just a tiny bit more. But

708
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: what say you, FITZI, you are a little bit higher

709
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: on Wandell this week.

710
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, good matchup, you said O Welsh. We saw Jalen

711
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 3: Knowell sort of gash the forty nine ers last week

712
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 3: on Unreal Limited Snaps, and Wandell is clearly the go

713
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 3: to guy for Jackson Dart in the passing game. He's

714
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 3: averaging seven point one targets a game. And maybe we

715
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 3: get the same sort of dynamic with Wandal that I

716
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: was talking about earlier with Rashie Rice potentially benefiting from

717
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 3: the absence of Isaiah Pacheco. So like Rashie Rice, Wandel

718
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,719
Speaker 3: Robinson is this short area catch and run receiver and

719
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 3: kind of an extension of the Giants running game. And

720
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 3: now maybe there's an even greater need for Wandeal in

721
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 3: this offense now that Camp Scataboo is out for the season.

722
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: Erickson, you're right at consensus, no big strong field. We

723
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: were talking about tiers earlier. Do you think Wandell is

724
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: in a tier where the dropoff has like really happened

725
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: at wide receiver or he's near the end right before

726
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 1: the dropoff.

727
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: I think he's playing near the end. I think that

728
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: you feel pretty comfortable playing him. I don't think that

729
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 2: anyone is Oh man, I gotta play Wandell Robinson this week.

730
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: I'm totally screwed. I don't think that's the case, because

731
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: you guys pointed out it is a good match up

732
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 2: against the pretty banged up forty nine ers defense. I

733
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 2: was actually higher on Wandale Robinson when FITS pulled the names.

734
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: Here I met wide receiver twenty three. I actually pulled

735
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 2: him back because he did. He was quiet last week.

736
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: He had zero catches in the first half. He just

737
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 2: finished with three catches for forty eight yards on four targets,

738
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 2: and I was like, well, why did this happen? Like

739
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: what happened to was targets, and actually like his targets

740
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: have dropped dramatically when Darius Slayton has actually been playing

741
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 2: in the lineup, and we saw last week Dary Slayton

742
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 2: had a long touchdown catch that came back on a penalty.

743
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 2: So I actually think that Slayton might be a sneaky

744
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: play here as well, because when you look at the

745
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 2: target chair for Robinson in games with Slayton over the

746
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks with Jackson Dart as the quarterback,

747
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 2: so he has a twenty nine percent target chair when

748
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 2: Slaton is not playing in those games, that drops to

749
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: nineteen percent when Slayton is available, and it's actually just

750
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: kind of flat between Theo Johnson, Darius Slayton, and Wanda Robinson.

751
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 2: So I think those three guys are all going to

752
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 2: kind of see their fair shrif off targets. We talked

753
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: about this last week with the forty nine ers, although

754
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz, of course he lets me down. What do

755
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 2: you know, That's what happens. You bet on a catch

756
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 2: and fall down tight end to deliver, is they lay

757
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 2: an egg even in a prime matchup. But I still

758
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: think that again, THEO Johnson is not that type of player,

759
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: like he can actually create yards after the catch and

760
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: make big plays against the forty nineers defense that doesn't

761
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 2: have Fred Warner, you still want to target it with

762
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 2: posing tight ends. So I think that maybe I wanted

763
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 2: to give more credit to THEO and Slayton just because

764
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 2: when those guys have also been on the field, it

765
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 2: has been more of a flat target share and it

766
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: really hasn't been Wandale dominating the target. So that's why

767
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: I have him closer to the mid range wide receiver three.

768
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: Deep play stuff. The Hordy Anders safeties are just garbage.

769
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: Just Mustafa doesn't know what he's doing out there. They're

770
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 1: not good in coverage. But Wanda has been the target monster.

771
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: It's an interesting matchup. What do we do? I can

772
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: kind of tell with Quintin Johnson anymore. We have completely

773
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: fallen off from all the excitement. We're just donuts after

774
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: donuts ECR thirty two. Fitzy, you've got him at thirty

775
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: two Ericson, you're even lower. He is almost not a

776
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver three ericson, let's go with you, Quentin Johnson.

777
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: Looks like with Godsden coming up in the offense, it

778
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: is completely taken away from Johnson and he's in a

779
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: spot where it's not startable that tier. You guys just

780
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: talked about where it's like, where does it fall off?

781
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: Johnson might be the start of the falloff here, because

782
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: like you feel like you want to say he's the

783
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: very end, like we'll take a shot. I don't think so.

784
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: I think he might be the beginning of the falloff

785
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: because it's like, where the hell is he going to

786
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: get targets Erickson?

787
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the we I want to give a

788
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: shout out to Debro in the primer. I thought he

789
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: did a great job of summarizing quin Johnson's matchup last

790
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: week and how this just wasn't the spot for him

791
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 2: with Johnson, Like it's very matchup dependent, and it's not

792
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 2: even is this defense good or bad against wide receivers,

793
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 2: it's what kind of defense are they running? Single high?

794
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 4: Like?

795
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: Is its zone? Is it? Man? Because Johnson has a

796
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 2: very specific role in this Chargers offense, and with the

797
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 2: emergence of all these more of the underneath targets between

798
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: Gatson and Keenan Allen and Lam McConkie kind of doing

799
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: what we expected him to do after what he did

800
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: as a rookie, Well that's kind of leaving Johnston as

801
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 2: the left out. Essentially, it's obviously a good matchup when

802
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: you look at the Titans. The Titans just trade away

803
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 2: half their secondary right Lagarious need is on interpreserves, so

804
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 2: the Chargers if they decide, hey, yeah, let's make it

805
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 2: a Quentin Johnson game. However, if a team just trade

806
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 2: away all of its personnel, what does that mean? They're

807
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: probably just gonna run a lot of basic zone coverage

808
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 2: and just let's not get beat over the top, and unfortunately,

809
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: that's kind of what Johnson's role has become, so as

810
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 2: the guy with the longest A dot more deep vertical routes,

811
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 2: and that just doesn't bode well for him in this

812
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 2: specific matchup. So I would definitely recommend whatever Deebo writes

813
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 2: up pertaining to this specific game, it's probably gonna be

814
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 2: spot on. So that might be an additional layer of analysis,

815
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: But just based on like what I've done, the Titans

816
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 2: already use a lot of zone cover, bridge I would

817
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: assume that this is not another Johnston week, and you

818
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 2: really need to wait. I mean, when you look at

819
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 2: the schedule, it might be, hey, you might need to

820
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 2: bench this guy till week sixteen when they play the

821
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys, and then you just play him that week

822
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 2: and he just goes like absolutely nuclear. But besides that,

823
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to guess that this matchup is probably not

824
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 2: going to be favorable. If you look at QJ versus

825
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 2: just zone coverage, he's just the fourteen percent target shair,

826
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 2: which is lower than the other two wide receivers and Gatson.

827
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: FITZI is Quentin Johnston going to be Liam Neeson for Halloween?

828
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: That he has a very specific set of skills that

829
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: are never in play here. What do you think pretty much?

830
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, in addition to everything Ericson said about

831
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: QJ versus Zone and I agree, check Deebro's primer for

832
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 3: the good stuff on that. I was already feeling pretty

833
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 3: uneasy about having a rank Quentin Johnston as a wide

834
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 3: receiver two every week early in the season when he

835
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 3: was putting up these great numbers, and it seemed like

836
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 3: we had to rank him that highly and make sure

837
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: he was in our lineups every week. But the presence

838
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 3: of Lad McConkie and Keenan Allen always made Johnston's fantasy

839
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 3: the outlook seems sort of fragile. And now we've got

840
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 3: Ronde gadst in the second stepping up and giving the

841
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 3: Chargers a fourth, big time weapon for Justin Herbert. So

842
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 3: I just I don't want to overreact to the zero

843
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 3: target game against the Vikings in Week eight, in a

844
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 3: game where Justin Herbert didn't need to throw very much

845
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 3: because the Chargers were in total command. But I do think,

846
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 3: I just think the vol the production for QJ is

847
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 3: going to be really volatile the rest of the way,

848
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 3: Like we're gonna get some splash games where he makes

849
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 3: a big play or two, and then we're gonna have

850
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 3: some real quiet games where Herbert throws to the other

851
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 3: guys in QG just gets left out in the cold.

852
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: One last one that we're gonna hit. We'll do kind

853
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: of a quick hitter on this one, because is it

854
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams week? Is that what is officially been activated?

855
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: He comes in as wide receiver thirty five, and both

856
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: of you guys say, no, no, you are like five

857
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: or six spots higher. Fitzy, you've got him at twenty nine. Ericson,

858
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: you've got him at thirty. FITZI is it Jamison Williams Week?

859
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: I think it is, and I'm the national holiday.

860
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna save the line about Ford Field for Ericson,

861
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 3: but I'm just sticking to my priors here. Jamison Williams

862
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 3: is good. He's usage just been disappointing so far. But

863
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 3: I would imagine that it was a focal point of

864
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 3: the Lions bye week to try to scheme up ways

865
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 3: to get Jamison Williams more involved in the offense. And

866
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 3: you know, the big players are coming. I think they're

867
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 3: going to come soon, and I'm not that worried about

868
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 3: the matchup with the Vikings after how we saw the

869
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 3: Vikings look against the Chargers in the weeknd.

870
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: Erickson, would you like to anoint this coming weekend officially

871
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams week You can just take ali because you

872
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: can just make them up. You can just make up

873
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: a national Holidays. So would you like it to be

874
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: officially Jamison Williams Sunday.

875
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 2: I don't know what that entails necessarily. I don't know

876
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 2: if we're going to get one hundred and like three

877
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: touchdowns from Jamison Williams. Is because we know that the

878
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 2: Lions like to establish the run whenever they get the

879
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: opportunity to do so. In The Vikings also have faced

880
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 2: the league's highest run rate this year. But if James

881
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 2: Willims can get done on limited volume, I think it can.

882
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 2: You look at the Vikings this year. Just a couple

883
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: of weeks ago, Jalen Hurts could do no wrong passing

884
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 2: deep on this defense. I mean, Vante's Been and Aja

885
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 2: Brown were just cooking downfield. We know Jameson Williams can

886
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 2: have a big role as a downfield threat. Vikings are

887
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: thirty first and deep passing EPA allowed this season, So

888
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 2: I think this is a pretty obvious spot to get

889
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 2: him going. And I know it feels weird to chase

890
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: a guy after he basically did nothing, but the week

891
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: before James Williams had a really good game and was

892
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 2: really productive against the Kansas City Chiefs. So yes, it's

893
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 2: very ping pongy. But you got to play the matchups

894
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 2: every single week with some of these receivers that are

895
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 2: more volatile that don't see the consistent targets, and I

896
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 2: think that the planets are at least aligning for this

897
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 2: week to be a good Jmo week versus the bad

898
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 2: Jamo week that we got before the bye week.

899
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 3: Wait Ford Field, say the line, Bart, Yes, say.

900
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 2: Ford Field, course field of the NFL. You always bet

901
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 2: the overs, although the overs have not been hitting it

902
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 2: nearly as high as a rate as I and my

903
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 2: bankrawl would like to see. All that means is we're

904
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: doing obviously.

905
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: Do always do all right? That is going to do

906
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: it for the wide receiver ranks. If we did not

907
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: end up like answering a question you might have had,
