1
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, It's Thursday, September twenty first, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's been your man,

3
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: MG Marcus Grhat with my guy Michael f.

4
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: Florio.

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: We are previewing the late Sunday games and the Monday

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: night doubleheader. Plus we're handing out our Week three fantasy heroes.

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: Diving into the late games.

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: On Sunday, we got the Panthers in Seattle to take

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: on the Seahawks. And look, we know what Seahawks were starting,

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, probably Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker with

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: JSN probably gets some run in some lineups. On the

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: other side, though, I mean Bryce Young dealing with an

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: ankle injury. We're not sure of his status. Are there

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: any Carolina Panthers you would dare to start? Because of

15
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: the running back landscape. You probably can't get away from

16
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders.

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: He was good in Week one one. Disappointed in everything.

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, that whole game was just awful. It was brutal.

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: Probably can't get away from him. But Hayden Hurst is

20
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: won a sleeper in this one.

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 4: Uh.

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: The Seahawks have allowed the third most yards to tight

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: end after allowing the most Fantasy points per game all

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: year last year to the position. We saw him have

25
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: a good game in Week one. I know he disappointed

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: in Week two, but these Saints are the hardest matchup

27
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 3: for tight ends. But after him, there's no receiver I

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: want to start. No, I don't really want to start

29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 3: any receivers. I mean Adam feeling his best days are

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 3: behind him. Jonathan Mingo doesn't really get anybody excited there.

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: But I will ask you this question.

32
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: If Bryce Young can't go and if Andy Dalton, would

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: that change your mind on any of these receivers.

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: No, I would still use Hearst. The thing is we

35
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: don't know what receiver he has the rapport with. I

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: don't know. And also like, is Andy Dalton really much

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: of an upgrade at this point, I don't know.

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: I mean Bryce Young. Look, we expected growing pains, and

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: we have seen them the first couple of weeks. I

40
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: would believe that Andy Dalton can at least deliver the

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: ball consistently to some guys. Maybe that's not enough, you know,

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: A big, a.

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: Big part of I think why Young is struggling is

44
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: no one is getting open.

45
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: Nobody's getting open and I mean we sort of looked

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: at that wide receiver group where we're like, this group

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: would have been great in like, you know, twenty eighteen

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: for the most part. So yeah, it's hard to make

49
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: a case to start any Panthers, and I think that's

50
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: going to be a consistent theme with them all year long.

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: Cowboys at the Cardinals. You know what's apout a time.

52
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: This was actually a division game when the Arizona Cardinals

53
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: were still in the NFC East years and years ago.

54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait, the Arizona Cardinals because they had been

55
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: the Saint Louis Cardinals and then they moved to Arizona.

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: In fact, they were the Phoenix Cardinals and they were

57
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: still in the end was this This would have been

58
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: in the late eighties, early nineties.

59
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: I had I had zero knowledge that Phoenix Cardinals.

60
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: They were saying, Lewis, they moved to Arizona. They were

61
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: still in the NFC East before everything got realigned. This

62
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: was also during that same period where the forty nine

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: Ers were the only NFC West team in the West

64
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: because they were playing against New Orleans, Atlanta Carolina.

65
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: You know, this makes no sense whatsoever.

66
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's sort of how it went anyway.

67
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Cardinals. The Cowboy defense has been lights out.

68
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: Would you start any Cardinals against them?

69
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: I would try my hardest not to. I have James

70
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: Connor as a sit. I understand the running back landscape.

71
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: Maybe you can't get away from him, but they have

72
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: been They've played Breisee Hall in the Jets backfield, and

73
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley you have yet to allow one hundred yards

74
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: to the position. And then I have Marquis Brown as

75
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: he sid. I know you had a big game last week.

76
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: I don't want to start him against the Cowboys. If

77
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 3: I start any Cardinal, it might be zach Ertz, just

78
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: because he has the most targets amongst any tight end

79
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: and the bar for tight ends is so low.

80
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: Someone laughed at me when I drafted zachartz this offseason, like,

81
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm not at the point where I want to rub

82
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: it in that person's face because zach ertzn't really didn't great,

83
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: but he's been, you know, passable, top ten tight end

84
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: right now, top ten tight end, although that you know,

85
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: that's that's not really saying it a whole lot. That's

86
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: like being the fastest snail. I would start James Connor.

87
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: I believe in James Connor. I think he's gonna get

88
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: a lot of volume and maybe he gets a few

89
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: targets in there. I don't think you're gonna get a

90
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: big performance out of any particular Cardinal in this one.

91
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: That cowboy defense has just been so great the first

92
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: two weeks of the season. I'll give this to the Cardinals,

93
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: though they have put up a fight in the first

94
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks.

95
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: I mean, they took it to the Giants in the

96
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: first half.

97
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: Then in the second half things sort of fell apart,

98
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: and you know, the Earth was back on its axis again,

99
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals are now owing two. But it's hard

100
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: to make a case for anybody there. Marquise Brown just

101
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: I faded him, and I feel pretty good.

102
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: About that decision.

103
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: Through two weeks in the season, Bears and the Chiefs

104
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: we talked about Justin Fields and whether or not he

105
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: can rebound.

106
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: Here in week.

107
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: Three, the Chiefs, we for the most part, know who

108
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: we are starting. We're starting Travis Kels, We're starting Patrick Mahomes.

109
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: Anybody else besides those two that you have an interest

110
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: in for Kansas City.

111
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: I think this is a week you can use Isaiah

112
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 3: Pachecko one. The Bears defense has been terrible. The Chiefs

113
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: are probably going to be playing with a multi score

114
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: lead for much of this game, which means we could

115
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: see Pachecko grind out the clock. He did play an

116
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: uptick in snaps last week, soa a little bit more carries.

117
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 3: What stands out to me though, is he's running more

118
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: routes than he ever did last year. So if he

119
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 3: could be more used in the passing game, then we

120
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 3: could talk about him as a consistent RB two moving forward.

121
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 3: But I think because of the matchup, you gotta play him.

122
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 3: The receivers they use seven each week, Darius Tony is

123
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: still the one I like the most, but I'm not

124
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: starting him as of right now.

125
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: I do like Isaiah Pacheco peak behind the curtain. He

126
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: is in my sleeper's column this week, which you can

127
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: find at NFL dot com slash Sleepers. I also have

128
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: as a deep sleeper Justin Watson and look, like you mentioned,

129
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: it's hard to sort of lean on any one Chiefs receiver.

130
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't love the fact that he's not running a

131
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: ton of routes there, but when he is on the

132
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: field running a route, there's a pretty good chance they

133
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: are throwing it in his direction, not to mention the

134
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: fact that he is kind of the chunk play downfield

135
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: guy in this offense. So if I'm gonna have to

136
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: sort of play roulette with a Chiefs receiver, I want

137
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: the guy who can pick up yardage with just a

138
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: few targets, and it seems like Justin Watson is the guy.

139
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: I for the most part, think they're gonna see Mahomes

140
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: kind of work underneath, so it'll be a lot of Kelsey,

141
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: maybe we see Sky Moore, maybe even Kadarius Tony. But

142
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: if they decide to take some pops down the field,

143
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: Justin Watson I think is gonna be the option. So

144
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: that is why I have him as a deep sleeper

145
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: for me in Week three.

146
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: Gonna take a quick break, stick around. We'll be right back.

147
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: Over to the primetime game Sunday Night football Steelers at

148
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders. We talked about Josh Jacobs. You said it

149
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: was gonna be a bounce back for him. What about

150
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: Najee Harris. It's not been great for nis G the

151
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: first two weeks. Is there a bounce back coming for

152
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: him against the Raiders?

153
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: I mean it better.

154
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: If it doesn't come this week. Just like what Kyle pitts,

155
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: we gotta have a talk. We're gonna have to have

156
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 3: a talk about Nase Harris because the Raiders are one

157
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: of the best possible matchups a running back could have.

158
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: They've allowed the third most rushing yards so far this season,

159
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 3: they're the second most receptions, top ten in receiving yards.

160
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: It's after being top five in all of those categories

161
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: allowed last season. If Nag Harris can't get right against

162
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: this Raiders defense, then we need to have a very

163
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: very serious talk. I also think Jalen Warren, who plays

164
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: about forty percent of the snaps, gets the past game

165
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: work and is way more explosive, is in.

166
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: Play this week as well.

167
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: I think the bounce back is coming this week for Nase,

168
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: mostly because I think people are ready to give up

169
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: on him, and that's when it happens. When everybody's like,

170
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play Najie Harris, then he goes for

171
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: like a buck twenty five. So I think that's coming.

172
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: I do think the matchup, though very much works in

173
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: his favor. It's funny. I was looking up some Nase

174
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: numbers and I looked at I was like, oh, last

175
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: weeks he ran for four point three yards per carrier, Like,

176
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: that's not too bad. Then I realized that he had

177
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: two really big runs. He had thirty eight of his

178
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: forty three yards on just two carries. The rest of

179
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: it was like one yard minus one yard minus two

180
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: yards three just it was not great. He has not

181
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: been efficient. He's not getting work in the passing game.

182
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: I think game script keeps the Steelers in this one.

183
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna have to go to a

184
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: pass heavy game script and the matchup is good, so

185
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: that sort of works well for him. Two Monday night

186
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: games again this week, the first one down in Tampa,

187
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Buccaneers. In week one, DeAndre Swift

188
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: was not great. He was pretty much invisible. In week two,

189
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: it was all about that DeAndre Swift live. So do

190
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: you feel comfortable rolling with him again knowing Kenneth Gangwell

191
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: could possibly be back.

192
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: I am still starting DeAndre Swift where I have him.

193
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: In some places it's out of necessity and others it's

194
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: because I do believe that he is going to be

195
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 3: the lead back for the Eagles moving forward. I mean,

196
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: he had more yards last week than Kenneth Game has

197
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: had in any game in his career. That being said,

198
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: the Bucks and Eagles are the two teams that have

199
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: allowed the fewest rushing yards this season, so it's you're

200
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 3: not going to ever get a Buck eighty again, at

201
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: least I don't expect that. But the Eagles offense, to me,

202
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: looked their best after they started getting Swift heavily involved.

203
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be hard to get away

204
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 3: from that moving forward.

205
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: I feel confident starting him this week, but understanding that again,

206
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: if Gainwell is there, it's going to be a split opportunity.

207
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm watching this game very closely to see how exactly

208
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: they split the division of labor between these two running backs,

209
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: because I think the upside is it's a two man show.

210
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty much the Swift and Gainwell show

211
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: for much of the season. The bad news is we

212
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: don't really know who is going to be the lead,

213
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: who's going to get the majority of the touches, and

214
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: in what situations they get touches. But that being said,

215
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: I feel confident rolling with Swift again this week because

216
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: he just looked so darn good in Week two. I mean,

217
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: how do you not second Monday night game the Rams

218
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: and the Bengals, rematch of the Super from a couple

219
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: of seasons ago. Joe Burrow dealing with a half injury

220
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: and we're not sure if his status. We might see

221
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: Jake Browning this week. What do you do if you

222
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: got Joe Burrow?

223
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 3: My brother in law yesterday was texting me and he

224
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: was like, I have Joe Burrow, Please help me. I

225
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 3: told him he could pick up Rock Perdy, who I

226
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: think is a good streaming option, Russell Wilson. I would

227
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: also just play it safe and go him. But if

228
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: you want to take this down to the wire with

229
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, because I truly don't think we're gonna know

230
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 3: if he's playing or not till Monday, you could pick

231
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: up Baker Mayfield against the Eagles. You could pick up

232
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 3: Matt Stafford, who faces the Bengals. That way you have

233
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: an option to plug in in case Joe Burrow doesn't go.

234
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: But if you want to just play it safe, Perdy

235
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: and Russ are two options that I like a good

236
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: amount this week.

237
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: Stafford is the name that I have really been fixated

238
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: on because he's playing so well. We keep talking about

239
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: Puka Nakua and Kyron Williams and two two out. Well,

240
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: we got to talk about Matthew Stafford because he has

241
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: been outstanding the first two weeks of the season and

242
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: he's going in that same Monday night game.

243
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: He is widely of ailable in a lot of leagues.

244
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: So I would check around on your waiver wire if

245
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: you've got Joe Burrow, see if Stafford is there, you

246
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: can pick him up. And in case you get the

247
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: notification sometime on Monday that Burrows a no go, you

248
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: can easily make that switch. You can wait until the

249
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: very last minute. I mean, as much as you know

250
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: it might be okay to go get Brock perty you

251
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: got to make that decision on Thursday, not knowing exactly

252
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: what Burrough's status is going to be. So if Stafford

253
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: is there, he's the guy that I would try to get.

254
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: But I don't mind, as you mentioned, trying to maybe

255
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: get Baker Mayfield as well, because he also goes on

256
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: Monday Night, so you at least have some sort of

257
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: inclination about Burrow's situation.

258
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: Everybody needs heroes. Now it's time for ours. Florio. Who's

259
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: your fantasy hero this week?

260
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: Amari Cooper and Amari Cooper, someone I was very bullish

261
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 3: on coming into the year. Unfortunately I sat him in

262
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: a bunch of spots on Week two because we got

263
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 3: a report on Sunday that he wasn't expected to play. Yeah,

264
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: he's suited up at a team high ten targets, caught

265
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 3: seven of them for ninety yards, and now he gets

266
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: to Tennessee Titans for and for his good. As they

267
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 3: are at stopping the run, they are terrible at stopping

268
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: wide receivers. They allow a bunch of production on deep

269
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: passes out wide. I think this is a game that

270
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 3: Watson is going to have to throw the ball a

271
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: good amount, and obviously his number one target is going

272
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: to be Amari Cooper. I'm starting him and I'm very

273
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: very excited to do so this week.

274
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, look a Marii Cooper's kind of right now the

275
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: one Browns receiver that you can trust. Elijah Moore has

276
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: not really been all that active, and the Donovan Peoples

277
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: Jones has very much been missing in action, especially with

278
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: the Shan Watson really kind of struggling so far this season.

279
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: For me, the Mike Evans apology tour this week continues.

280
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: I said it earlier in the week. I will continue

281
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: to say it. I said it on Fantasy Live. I'm sorry,

282
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: Mike Evans. I didn't think you were going to have

283
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: a big season, and you look like you are. I

284
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: didn't know that you're gonna get to one thousand yards.

285
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: You might have a thousand yards by week five. That's

286
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: just sort of how things are going right now. Forty

287
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: seven percent of the air yards for my Evans so

288
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: far this season. And even though on paper the Eagles

289
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: defense seems to be a tough matchup, they've got injuries.

290
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: James Bradberry was dealing with a concussion last week. He

291
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: missed the game of Ononte Maddox has a torn peck

292
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: and he very well could be done for the season.

293
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: So a lot of mixing and matching in the back

294
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: end there for Philadelphia, and I think the Bucks may

295
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: be able to take advantage of that. And if Philly scores,

296
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: that means you're gonna have Tampa in catchup mode, which

297
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: means Baker Mayfield throwing those jolo balls down the field.

298
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 2: For Mike Evans, there it is. I apologize.

299
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: We have gotten that out of the way, so hopefully

300
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: have my apologies accepted, and Mike Evans does not go

301
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: for just like one catch for like seven yards or

302
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: something like that this week, because then I'd be very,

303
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: very sad.

304
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 2: All right, That is it. We are done.

305
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football show.

306
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 2: You know the drill.

307
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review and

308
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: remember hard work never killed anybody.

309
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: But why take a chance.

310
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: Be safe, take care of yourselves, enjoy the weekend, and

311
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you again real soon.

312
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: Don't don't h
