1 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: Hi, Hello everybody. 2 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: Welcome to Week two, and welcome to the NFL Fantasy 3 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 2: Football Show. It's me your man, MG Marcus Grant, joined 4 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: by Michael F. Floyo and Lakwan Jones. How are we 5 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: feeling start a week two? How are things? 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 3: I pulled a hammy playing slow pitch softball last night 7 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 3: for those who think we're not athletes on the show, 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 3: so I've been better. 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: You're not helping the allegations. 10 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 3: But I hit a home run, So there it is. 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 3: I pulled a hammy. 12 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: There it is. Once we hit. 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 4: Thirty, we're considered and we're considered wash. 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: So it is what it is. 15 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 3: Team washed all day. 16 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, man, let's go. 17 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: That's why I like those veterans hanging on in the 18 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 2: league just a little bit longer to make me feel 19 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: kind of better about myself. 20 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: For sure. Lots to do today. 21 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: We're gonna go heavy on some starts and sets, but 22 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: also letting you know, can a couple of rookie pass 23 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: catchers stay hot in Week two? Which start tight end 24 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: might be hitting your bench and some bulpers which include 25 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: some redbirds getting hot down there in the desert. So 26 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: let's dive into the starts and sins, of course. Michael 27 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: lef Floya writes the column every single week on NFL 28 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: dot com. You can find it at NFL dot com 29 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 2: Slash Starts Sit, and I'm sure everybody just takes it 30 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: in stride and has. 31 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: Just nothing but constructive criticism for you. 32 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 3: I've did something I should have done. I looked at 33 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 3: YouTube comments from last week and people were calling out 34 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 3: the start sit plays before snap was even played. Someone 35 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: said in Mecca Buka, I was very dumb to say 36 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: to start them. Well, they vanished. 37 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, they did. 38 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: Like Homer Simpson on the quand shirt, just kind of 39 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 2: like you back into the bushes again. You're not gonna 40 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: hear from those people again until week two. 41 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 3: They're all Week two comments guaranteed. They're like this idiot's back. 42 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: They're all the way back again. So let's dive into 43 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: your starts and sets. Let's start with the quarterback position, 44 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: the guys that you have on the plus side, the 45 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: guys that you have on the negative side. 46 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: Who are your starts and sits at quarterback? This week? 47 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 3: Just like last week, running with Justin f again, I 48 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 3: think he is going to run plenty and he looked 49 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: fantastic as a passer. I like, Justin Herbert, you gotta 50 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 3: wait till Monday night. But he threw a lot more 51 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 3: than anticipated and looked really good doing so. Kyler Murray 52 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 3: just has another advantageous matchup this week. And I know, 53 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 3: usually when you have a team that gives up the 54 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: run a lot, you're like, that doesn't help a quarterback. 55 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: But it's Kyler Murray, so that helps the quarterback. Dak 56 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: Prescott has a long history of success against the Giants, 57 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 3: Drake May gets the Dolphins that I think we are 58 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: going to pick on the Dolphins secondary a lot this season, 59 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 3: and then some sits Jared Goff, I'm really worried about that. 60 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: Olon and the Bears were able to generate pressure in 61 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 3: Week one. C J Shrouds same thing that Oline did him. 62 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: Absolutely no favors against Lakwan's rams. Aaron Rodgers, I'm not 63 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 3: buying the four touchdown day, Like, if he doesn't do that, 64 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: you're probably looking at a much smaller fantasy number. Trevor 65 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: Lawrence is only for the desperate. I know a lot 66 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 3: of people might be considering him because of the matchup. 67 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: And then Daniel Jones like, if I'm not buying Aaron Rodgers. 68 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: There's no way I'm buying. 69 00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones the whole. 70 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: I just say, you look at the four touchdown, that's great. 71 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: His average air yards per attempt like four point three, 72 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 2: Like that was I mean just extended handoffs from Aaron 73 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 2: Rodgers to his pass catches. Five percent of his passing 74 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: yards were a yards after the catch. One of the 75 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: thames on here, Justin Herbert Lakwan. We came into the 76 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: season thinking the Chargers are going to be really run heavy. 77 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 2: They threw the ball sixty of the time in Week one. 78 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: Wile do we maybe have to readjust our evaluations on Herbo. 79 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like they got a new DNA over there, 80 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 4: you know in LA, the other LA team. But I 81 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 4: do feel like, you know, this being the week one start, 82 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 4: they started off bounds fifty pass and run last year 83 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 4: in Week one, I think this is a new formula 84 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 4: of having Keenan Allen added to this passing group. He 85 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 4: has another reliable wide receiver on this offense, and I 86 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 4: think they might lean into that. And also seven rushing attempts, 87 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 4: he looked good with the wheels getting out of the pocket. 88 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 4: So I do feel very comfortable having Justin Herbert on 89 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 4: my rosters, and he's going to be a start and 90 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 4: forget for me if he comes out of this week 91 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 4: shining how he did in Week one. 92 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: I do want to correct you on one thing. 93 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 2: The Chargers are actually the original LA team. 94 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: The Rams came from Cleveland. I'm just putting that out there. 95 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: All I know, my history brother, no coach loves their 96 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: quarterback more than no one. Did you see Harborough's quote 97 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: the other day? He was like, Herbert took a hit 98 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: that would have killed a lesser man. I had tears 99 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 3: in my eyes, like it's the funniest quote I've ever heard. 100 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: Find someone who loves you the way Jim Harbor loves justin. 101 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 3: Herbert the reason to his players, I hope he doesn't 102 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: have sons because they got replaced. 103 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 2: As we dive into this this Charger offense a little 104 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 2: bit more, I know, we sort of went back and 105 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 2: forth about who's the alpha between Lad McConkie and Keenan Allen. 106 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: Let's also not forget Quentin Johnston though in this offense. 107 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 2: I know we'll talk about some wide receivers a little 108 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: bit later on, but are we looking at a situation 109 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: Florida where now there are three legit pass catchers to 110 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: take into account with the. 111 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: Chargers, I think so, I think Quinton Johnston is going 112 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: to be a little bit more volatile than the other two. 113 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 3: I feel the floors are much safer with Keenan and 114 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 3: with lad but the passing volume was funneled through these 115 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: three guys, and I don't see. You look at the 116 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 3: rest of their roster and like, I don't see a 117 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: reason for that to change. Like Quentin Johnston, say what 118 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 3: we will about him, but something I pointed on Fantasy 119 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 3: Live is like, even when he was struggling in the past, 120 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 3: he was getting open. He was just dropping them, you know, 121 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 3: like he's now. The catch rate is the biggest thing 122 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 3: that changed from week one compared to past years. And 123 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 3: he's their go to guy in the red and end zone. 124 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: So touchdowns alone are probably gonna keep him a float 125 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:45,559 Speaker 3: most weeks. 126 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to say he's DeVante Adams, but let's 127 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: remember DeVante Adams his rookie year. 128 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: Had major issues with drops and. 129 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: Packers fans were ready to be done with him, and 130 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: he just instead blossomed into one of the top receivers 131 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 2: in the league. So you know, sometimes you can work 132 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: on a problem and you can get better. And maybe 133 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: that's what Quinton Johnston is doing. That's all I'm saying. 134 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, the right. 135 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: Oh wait, one real quick thing. Tremor Lawns is on 136 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: the sets. Where is he on the middle meter? And 137 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: does he move up in the middle meter? You think 138 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: this this week? 139 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 4: The middle meter needs to be updated. It needs to 140 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 4: based down here where I can extend the board to 141 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 4: T low because boy, week one was terrible, so hopefully 142 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 4: in week two we can actually get some movement here. 143 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 4: So I do kind of want to move him up 144 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 4: in this matchup, but then he has to prove me wrong, 145 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 4: you know, then we'll see. 146 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 3: He should start in the middle and. 147 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: Week to week. 148 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what if we if we can offer 149 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: a revision you have you have T law, T mid 150 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 2: and then T low and you can go from like 151 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: low to law eventually or something like that. 152 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 4: I mean, after week one performance, we can revise the 153 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 4: board and he will be at T low of the 154 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 4: deep depths of the Earth's core. 155 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 3: Right, it's not even Trevor Midlaw. 156 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: We're going Trevor Trevor Low. 157 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: This is it's kind of where has him right now? 158 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: All right, let's let's move over to the running backs. 159 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: As we look at the starts and sits there, who 160 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: you got up, who you got down? 161 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 3: I'm playing Breeze Hall because the Bills were ran all 162 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: over and he has a history of success against him. 163 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 3: O Marion Hampton dominated volume and touches and pass game usage, 164 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 3: and people still were complaining it's ridiculous to me, Traveon Henderson. 165 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: I know week one wasn't what we wanted, but I 166 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: think this is a kind of matchup where the big 167 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 3: plays come. Tony Poller just dominates volume and I think 168 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 3: that's enough to make him a strong start in fantasy. 169 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: And same thing with Travis Etn. Travis Etn was so 170 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: good that they were like, we're gonna trade your competition away. 171 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 3: And then the sits. It really pains me, Isaiah Pacheco, 172 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 3: but the usage really frightened me in week one, and 173 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: the matchup is scary. Kenneth Walker did not like the 174 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 3: usage at all for week one. Not a must sit, 175 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 3: more option dependent. RJ. Harvey just I know lq's gonna 176 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 3: be upset with me over this. I want Harvey to 177 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 3: be a thing. But seven touches and so few snaps 178 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 3: it's hard to trust the Browns running backs if Quinn 179 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: Shawn Jupkins plays, If not, Samson could be in play 180 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 3: as a flex option. And then Nick Chubb. Look, I 181 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 3: know he had a few good runs in the preseason, 182 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: but that old line is gonna tear everything down. 183 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: I think it broke my brain to look and see 184 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: Brown's rbs and then Nick Chubb intwo separate. I was like, wait, 185 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: that's right, that's right. Not used to seeing that at all. Okay, 186 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: lakwan with R. J. Harvey, do you want to tell 187 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: Florio to his face why he's wrong? Or do you 188 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: want to get on your burner and go to the. 189 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: Want Tom do it? 190 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 4: Listen, this is I'm gonna take this from Michael Scott. 191 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 4: Why are you the way you are? 192 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: Why? 193 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 4: Why? How do you watch this man lead his team 194 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 4: in scrimmage yard See how explosive he is and he 195 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 4: has that home brank Look we got the clip, yes, 196 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 4: let's go, and that's in between the tackles. Everybody was 197 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 4: crying about him bouncing outside too much. That's in between 198 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 4: the tackles and he's still getting a field. I think 199 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 4: Sean Payton is gonna unleash him this you know why, 200 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 4: because Manti is my Sean Peyton whisperer. Okay, Manti, I 201 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 4: want to shout you out, because if he goes off 202 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 4: this game, all the credit goes to him. He is 203 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 4: going to be ramped up in these touches, and I 204 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 4: think this game he's going to bounce outside because exactly 205 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 4: what bres Hall was able to do last week. I 206 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 4: think that you know, we're going to see a revamp 207 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 4: of the electric going into r J. 208 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: Harvey. Wait, how did Manti tayl become the Sean Payton whispers. 209 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 3: Because yeah, yeah, I was wondering where that tie. 210 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,719 Speaker 4: Listen. He knows a little bit that I don't want 211 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 4: to disclose yet, but he knows how Sean Payton actually 212 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 4: operates as a coach. So I just want to put 213 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 4: that out there that Manti's my whisper when it comes 214 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 4: to r J. Harvey. 215 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: Moving forward, well, I guess they were probably in New 216 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: Orleans together, Yeah, trying like where they would have crossed pass. 217 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 4: After the charger after New Orleans. 218 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: There you go, all right, that makes some sense. 219 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,599 Speaker 2: We'll get back to some more starts and says a 220 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: little bit later on in the show, we want to 221 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 2: turn our attention to some of the Marquee prime time 222 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 2: games in Week two, starting with Sunday Night Football. The Falcons, 223 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 2: after losing a heartbreaker, they go to Minnesota to take 224 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: on the Vikings, who pulled one out against the Bears 225 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: on Monday night. You can see that game on Sunday eight, 226 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 2: twenty e Eastern time on NBC and at Universo as well. 227 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy Florida was really good in the second half 228 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 2: of that game. Would you consider starting him in one 229 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: QB leagues option dependent? 230 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 3: I think, like, obviously you're not playing him over any 231 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 3: of the top five quarterbacks that were drafted. I'm not 232 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 3: playing him over Justin Fields. I would rather play Kyler 233 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 3: Murray this week. I would rather play Dak. I like 234 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 3: Drake may like if you have like him or Goff, 235 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 3: I still think I would play. 236 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: We should playm over Caleb because you know, like that 237 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 2: they were the guys that went to the head last week. 238 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would, Okay, I like the matchup better, Okay, all. 239 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: Right, but it's close. It's it's very close, all right, 240 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 3: all right? 241 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. 242 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: Falcon pass rush is underrated, But you know, let's also 243 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: not forget what we all believed Kevin O'Connor will put 244 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 2: his quarterback in a position to succeed, and that's what 245 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: we saw in week one. 246 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: You gotta believe he could do it again. 247 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 3: The thing I always say with JJ is like, you're 248 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 3: not trusting him, You're trusting Koc Justin Jefferson, Hawkinson and 249 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 3: all that around him exactly exactly. 250 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: And look he's at home and it's a Yes. 251 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 2: The Falcons have a good pass rush, They're still not 252 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: as good defensively as the Bears, so maybe reasons to 253 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 2: be optimistic there. Looking at the first touchdown odds for 254 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 2: the Sunday night game between the Falcons and the Vikings, 255 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: you will not be shocked to learn that John Robinson 256 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 2: has the best touchdown odds. 257 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: No, no way. 258 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 2: It's hard to believe right that you know a guy 259 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: who's one of the best running backs in the league 260 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: has the first has the best. 261 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 3: Wild though, I will say, or. 262 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: Number two. Did you put this list together out? Yes, 263 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: I feel like. 264 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 2: The fact that Jordan Mason is ahead of Justine y 265 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 2: Person is a little bit wild. Jesse Jefferson is third 266 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: at plus six fifty, Aaron Jones is number four, and 267 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 2: then Drake London both Jones and London. 268 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: Coming in at plus nine hundreds. We still got plenty 269 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: left to go through. 270 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 2: Still got a couple of Monday night football games that 271 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 2: we want to dive into, plus some more of the 272 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 2: Stardoms and Sidams, wide receivers and. 273 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: Tight ends, plus some bold predictions, all still to. 274 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 2: Come here on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Continuing on 275 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 2: through our look at the week two primetime games. We 276 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 2: got a pair of Monday night games coming up this week. 277 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: The first one the Buccaneers at the Texans. You can 278 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 2: see that Monday, seven pm Eastern on ESPN ABC and 279 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 2: ESPN de Portes. Baker Mayfield a guy we were drafting 280 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 2: as a top five, maybe top six, probably top six, 281 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: top seven quarterbacks, probably a little bit more accurate with 282 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 2: a Baker Mayfield. 283 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: Decent start in Week one. The touchdown numbers certainly helped. Lakwan. 284 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: Would did you consider Baker I start this week? I 285 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: guess the really physical Texans defense. 286 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm worried about that pass rush. I'm worried about 287 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 4: them getting takeaways from Baker. So I'm kind of pivoting 288 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 4: in my own personal leagues from putting Baker in this 289 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 4: week because look, my Rams might have gotten the win, 290 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 4: but it was a very close game, a very ugly win. 291 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 4: But it was one of those games where the Texans 292 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 4: defense was fierce on that defensive line, and I'm not sure. 293 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 4: With Baker struggling last week in the passing yards, it 294 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 4: looked like it was just mass in his fantasy performance 295 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 4: by a three touchdowns, which is great, But this Texans 296 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 4: defense is definitely gonna be physical. They're gonna be fast, 297 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 4: flying around. They're gonna be getting that pressure on Baker. 298 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 4: So I'm pivoting to other options this week. 299 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: I also was looking at the wide receiver matchup there 300 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: for a Mecca Abuka, who was fantastic in Week one. 301 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 2: I would imagine he's gonna line up on Derek Stingley 302 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: a few times. Stingley one of the top corners in 303 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: the NFL. I don't expect Stingley's gonna travel like I 304 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna travel around with Mike Evans h 305 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: so he may line up on Abuka. 306 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be his first real test 307 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: ye wide receiver. 308 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: If I have Baker, I'm probably starting him, but I'm 309 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: kind of with you on I'm not super excited about 310 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 2: what it could be this week for him, for sure. 311 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 2: The other money nine game Chargers in Las Vegas is 312 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 2: take on the Raiders and you can see that game 313 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: ten pm Eastern on ESPN and also on ESPN Deportes. 314 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 2: Ashton Gent not great in Week one. He scored the 315 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: touchdown which definitely kind of helped boost his numbers. The 316 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 2: Chargers have a good run defense. Shouldn't we be worried 317 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: about Gent this week? 318 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: I'm not at that point yet. He played eighty six 319 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 3: percent in the snaps last week. He had twenty one opportunities. 320 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 3: He got the goal on work. To me, that's what 321 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 3: I care about most in week one is opportunity, and 322 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 3: he had all of it. Now, I get it tough 323 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 3: Chargers run defense week Raiders O line. But if genty 324 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: is the talent that we think he is, he'll be 325 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 3: able to overcome stuff like that. 326 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: And I should definitely clarify like, I don't think this 327 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 2: is something like panic he's a bust or whatever I 328 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 2: think he had, you know, didn't have a great in 329 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: Week one. I just think he's a tough matchup in 330 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: Week two. I think over the long haul, Ashton Gent 331 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: is going to be fine. If you spent a first 332 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 2: round or early second round pick on him. I'm not 333 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 2: telling you should freak out and try to like trade 334 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 2: him or anything like. 335 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 3: There were people freaking out on Twitter though. 336 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think we're at that point. 337 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, like we're we're a long way from that long season. 338 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 4: If you're panicking in week one. 339 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: If you're panicing already, exactly, it's just I just look 340 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 2: at it as a tough matchup and you know, hey, 341 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 2: maybe you know, he just didn't get off to a 342 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 2: good start. 343 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 3: Someone on Twitter was like, is Terry McLaurin done for? 344 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: And I was like, no, name, what are we doing. 345 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 3: It's a reminder that like not everyone you know, they're 346 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 3: they're they're living in. 347 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: Week to week. 348 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, which game? But man, sometimes just just take a 349 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: deep breath. It's gonna be all right. 350 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 4: Last I saw, yeah. 351 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: Remember your pressure points. Let's get back to the starts 352 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 2: and sits. Looking at the wide receivers. A lot of 353 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 2: names on this side here, who are your starts and 354 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 2: sets here? 355 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 3: I'm going with Travis Hunter, who led the team in 356 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 3: targets and catches last week in a game that I 357 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 3: think the Jaguars have to throw a lot more Ricky Pearsall. 358 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 3: I know Brock Purdy isn't going to be playing, but 359 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 3: I still think he's in play as the top target 360 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 3: for the forty nine ers Niners min Irwin, I'm a 361 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: believer he's the top option for Josh Allen. He's the 362 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 3: end zone option. Ameca Abuka, I know here everything you 363 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 3: guys were saying. I still think he's gonna see a 364 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 3: lot of time at a slot. And the Texans gave 365 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 3: up the third most slot yards. I know that's pooping Nakua, 366 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 3: but still Calvin Ridley, I think is just gonna have 367 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 3: a much better day because he's not gonna have Pat 368 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 3: Sirtan on him for over eighty percent of the snaps. 369 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: And then I also have Marquise Brown and Keenan Allen 370 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 3: as starts the sits Jalen Wattle because man, it's getting 371 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 3: ugly fast in Miami, Jerry Judy, the Brown spread the 372 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 3: ball out a lot last week, and the Ravens defense 373 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 3: I think is a lot better than it looked in 374 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 3: Week one. Michael Pittman Junior. For the same reason that 375 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley had a bad game in Week one, probably 376 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 3: gonna have a bad game and Week two for Pittman 377 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 3: because of Patrick's Aerten and then Cooper Cup. Like, I mean, 378 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 3: I don't even know if Sam Darnold knows Cooper Cup 379 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 3: is a thing right now. 380 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 2: I I know he only got the three targets. I 381 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 2: think they're gonna start spreading it out a little bit more, 382 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 2: just gonna have to. Like Jackson, Smith and Jagba had 383 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: thirteen targets, the rest of the Seahawks had nine combined, 384 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: and like, that's just not sustainable the course of a 385 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 2: full season. You're we'll go a little bit off menu here, Lakwan, Yeah, 386 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 2: I know. We were going back and forth about who 387 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 2: is the alpha in the Chargers passing game? Is it Ladd, 388 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 2: is it Keenan Allen? I feel like this is not 389 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 2: gonna be the last time we have this conversation. But 390 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 2: that being said, Keenan came back to Los Angeles and 391 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 2: reminded you of who he was all those years with 392 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 2: the Chargers. 393 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he did, man, And just looking at the stats, man, 394 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 4: thirty five percent of his routes he was targeted on. 395 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 4: He only played sixty one percent of the snaps, So 396 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 4: that just heightens his attention that he brings on the 397 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 4: field and the comfortability with Justin Herbert. I know Ladd 398 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 4: is there as well, but he is a compimary piece 399 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 4: to this all offense. I think he makes a lot 400 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 4: of decoy decisions for a lot of defenders making business 401 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 4: decisions to obviously cover him because he is just as good. 402 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 4: But when Keenan Allen's on the field, he has been 403 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 4: nothing but an alpha his entire career. I think there 404 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 4: is still a lot of juice left in Keenan Allen. 405 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 4: His target separation rate is still above league gabage it 406 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 4: was last season as well, generated one hundred targets with 407 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 4: the Chicago Bears with Kayla Williams. I think that he's 408 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 4: still going to be the Keenan Allen that we known 409 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 4: in love when he was in that Chargers uniform. 410 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 2: Moving forward, I thought was interesting that he played a 411 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 2: lot out wide. I think we just got so used 412 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: to him being a big slot receiver and doing damage there, 413 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 2: But I spent a lot of his time out wide 414 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 2: in Week one, was heavily used, was pretty much almost 415 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 2: exclusively used in three wide receiver sets. Now again, the 416 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 2: offense a lot more pass heavy in Week one than 417 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 2: we anticipated, so that definitely. 418 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 3: Helps forgetting every ounce of Keenan Allen out. So when 419 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 3: those legs get wobbly late in the year, you. 420 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 2: Know we're gonna have We're gonna have that week right 421 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: where Keenan's like on the end report and he's gonna 422 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: be like, I'm gonna play this week and then he'll 423 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 2: get like two targets. He's gonna be like a decoy 424 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 2: out there or something like that. Like we always have 425 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 2: one of those weeks with Keenan Allen. 426 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 4: I do expect him to ramp it up with him, man, 427 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 4: I do expect that sixty one percent a snap just 428 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 4: kind of gets up there higher and hire man because 429 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 4: he can still ball and he's shown this to that and. 430 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 2: Yeah he's thirty three though, step dude, we're thirty three. 431 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not trying to play sixty percent in the 432 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 3: NFL game. 433 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. 434 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 3: I pulled my hand. He's playing slow pitch softball. 435 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 4: I'm just saying, that's not old to me. 436 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: Man, we stay out here kicking. I ain't washed in 437 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: real life. 438 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 3: No, it's what we it's not old for the Earth's 439 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 3: not too old for the Earth's old. 440 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: That's what it is all right, let's move over to 441 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: the tight ends. Florida. Who are your starts? 442 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: And since now that seed is just gonna run my 443 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 3: head all day, Tyler Warren is a mustard already. I 444 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 3: don't even think I have to explain that one. Uh 445 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 3: Evan Ingram we the weirdest injury thing, Like we're not 446 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 3: getting any news on him. If he ends up playing 447 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 3: this week, I think he's solid. If not, obviously you 448 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 3: got to go in another direction. Hunter Henry is just underappreciated, 449 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 3: and again I want Patriots in this matchup. Jake Ferguson 450 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 3: was the number two target for DAK last week, and 451 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 3: I think he is a safety blanket. And then Juan 452 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 3: Johnson I think is just the apple of Spencer Rattler's 453 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 3: eye for whatever that means, since the Swifties are gonna 454 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 3: come for me. But I don't love the matchup. I 455 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 3: don't love the Week one usage, I don't love the 456 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 3: production going back to last year. So if you have 457 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: another tight end you like, I think try to get 458 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 3: away from Kelsey. 459 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: Tucker. 460 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 3: Craft is super touchdown dependent, at least with the Week 461 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 3: one volume, and even with the touchdown, he didn't have 462 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 3: ten Fantasy points. Dal Kincaid had a big game, but 463 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 3: I don't think it was four targets. You can't really 464 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 3: rely on that, Harold Fan and Junior. I want on 465 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 3: as many rosters as I can, but I want to 466 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 3: see it a second week and against the tough defense 467 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 3: like the Ravens before. I just blindly put him in, 468 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 3: but again that's a little bit more option dependent. And 469 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 3: then Colson Lovelin, like I want him to be a thing. 470 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 3: But Cole Comet was the tight end one on Monday Night. 471 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was absolutely wild over on the start side, 472 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 2: Quhan are feeling furgolicious this week? 473 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I like that. 474 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 4: That's kind of a wild man. But Fergie Fergi is, Yeah, 475 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 4: he's part of this Cowboys offensive game plan. Like I 476 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 4: was really impressed with his target share eighteen percent, and 477 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 4: I honestly think that when you look how this season 478 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 4: is going to look, it's gonna be the trio of 479 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 4: Cede Lamb, George Pickens and Jake Ferguson. This is everything 480 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,719 Speaker 4: Isaiah Stanback has been telling us all his time when 481 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 4: Good Morning Football, explaining how this Cowboys offense is going 482 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 4: to be operating. That is Dak's security blanket. And we 483 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 4: have to remember in twenty twenty three he let all 484 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 4: tight ends in red zone targets. With twenty three, I 485 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 4: could see this ramping up as the season progressed, once 486 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 4: they get all in sync and George Pickens's role is 487 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 4: in stone of what he's actually gonna be. I do 488 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 4: think that Jake Ferguson just goes under the radar for 489 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 4: a lot of folks man, and he can ball when 490 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 4: he's healthy. 491 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's gonna be better. I think he 492 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: gets some more help from his teammates soon.

I'm not all the 504 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 4: way back I'm going to check it out. The night 505 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 4: one reviews were cool, they were calm, collected, but with 506 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 4: Drake Linon banged up, Michael Pennix kept his word that 507 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 4: Kyle Pits will be involved in this offense. And I 508 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 4: love how Zach Robinson is using him in this offense. 509 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 4: So they're creating opportunities for him to get open and 510 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 4: not making them work too hard. So I'm expecting a 511 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 4: top five performance from Kyle Pitts SR. 512 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: Man. I just I want to believe it. 513 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: I'm I feel like I have less faith in the 514 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 2: Falcons this week than a lot of other people, but 515 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: I'm ready to be proven wrong. 516 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: I will be glad to be wrong. 517 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 3: I stream Pits in the league last week. It worked 518 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 3: out then, yeah, a little bit. 519 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: A little bit work. 520 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 4: I can tell you different views when I get back 521 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 4: from the show. 522 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: Sounds good, Florido, what's your hot take for the week. 523 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 3: I think this is gonna Drake Mayn's breakout week because 524 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 3: of the matchup against the Miami Dolphins and Daniel Jones 525 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 3: and everything that the Colts did last week. So Drake 526 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 3: made three hundred passing yards and three touchdowns. And when 527 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 3: I submitted my bold prediction this week for for NFL 528 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 3: dot Com, I called my shots on who the three 529 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 3: touchdowns are gonna be Keishawan Bouti, Okay Hunter, Henry Traveon Henderson. 530 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: I was waiting for a Pop Doug. I was waiting 531 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 2: for a pop Douglass in there. But all right, I'll 532 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 2: take that. I'm down with that for sure. My my 533 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 2: hot take right now. I'm gonna I'm actually up the 534 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 2: ante because what I originally said was that both Cardinals 535 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: running backs score a touchdown, right that James Connor Trey 536 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 2: Vinson each have a touchdown. I'm gonna add some spice. 537 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna drop another little uh, you know, a couple 538 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 2: of halapagnos. Maybe a ghost, not a ghost. Pepper's not 539 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 2: quite that hot. But Kyler Murray also has a rushing 540 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 2: touchdown in this one. So you get a rushing or 541 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 2: receiving touchdown from the running backs, you get a rushing 542 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 2: touchdown from Kyler Murray as well. The Panthers last year 543 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 2: statistically the worst run defense in the league. They give 544 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 2: up like six hundred and fifty more yards and the 545 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 2: next worst team. They also were tired for the second 546 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 2: most rushing touchdowns allowed and in Week one, they didn't 547 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 2: get any better. So I think you're gonna see a 548 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 2: run heavy game script. You know, Kyler Murray can get 549 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 2: out of the pocket and do damage with his legs 550 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 2: as well, so I think we're gonna see a lot 551 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 2: of that coming. 552 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: Up this week. 553 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 3: And you know the Cardinals game plan ways to not 554 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 3: get touchdowns. 555 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 2: Yes exactly, So they're gonna right in line, they're gonna 556 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 2: get right, they're gonna get inside the five, and then 557 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 2: they're gonna run the football. 558 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: So there you go. 559 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 3: THO like Tray go down't fall down, fall out of 560 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 3: the two so we can run it in. 561 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna do. That's a good spot for 562 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: us to wrap it up. That is it. We are done. 563 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 2: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football Show. 564 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 2: You know the drill.
