Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Fantasy best
Speaker 1: Friends Forever, m Do to to Do? Didn do too
Speaker 1: to do? Didn do to to do? Did it do? Yo?
Speaker 1: Is his the Fantasy best Friends Forever Here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Ring your Network alongside Frankie Stamfold. My name
Speaker 1: is Greg Sauceman. What's going on, Frankie? Nothing? Just need
Speaker 1: a chance to catch my breath. Greg, you keep talking
Speaker 1: on the program. At eight It is a waiver wire Tuesday.
Speaker 1: But you already knew that the BFS will tell you
Speaker 1: who you need to grab at every position, but more importantly,
Speaker 1: potentially who you need to drop. That's usually the harder question,
Speaker 1: and that's why Frank and I are here to help
Speaker 1: you out and to make sure that you're not making
Speaker 1: the wrong decision as I did in both my matchups
Speaker 1: on yes yesterday, which I would have easily won if
Speaker 1: I would have started Robert Woods over a guy like
Speaker 1: Kenny and Drake over a guy like Chris Hogan over
Speaker 1: a guy like Cooper Cup, make that start wind up
Speaker 1: winning instead? I lost difference between two and one or
Speaker 1: three and out potentially and one and two. How are
Speaker 1: you feeling now a little bit better? A little better?
Speaker 1: Frank got a haircut something like that? Like, got a
Speaker 1: beard trim as well, Frankie well groomed something like that. Sure,
Speaker 1: so let's I'm gonna get it trimed down a little
Speaker 1: bit more. See what happens. Let's get into mondtball here
Speaker 1: would you think? Um? I thought everyone was obviously writing
Speaker 1: off Ryan Fitzpatrick very early in the game. Um, no
Speaker 1: surprise he I mean rightfully. So he had three interceptions
Speaker 1: I believe in the first half. Um, but he turned
Speaker 1: it around. I mean, first quarterback to have four hundred
Speaker 1: or more passing yards in three straight games. First quarterback
Speaker 1: in NFL history. The NFL has been around a long time.
Speaker 1: No surprise that Ryan Fitzpatrick is the one out here?
Speaker 1: Breaking records. It's magic. Maybe, yeah. So look he bounced
Speaker 1: back four hundred yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions, UM, And
Speaker 1: I think I want to question, do we want Jameis
Speaker 1: Winston to be the starting quarterback for this team? Because
Speaker 1: given how well Ryan Fitzpatrick has worked with the Ten
Speaker 1: Bay Bucks weapons, whether it's Mike Evans who's got off
Speaker 1: to a phenomenal start, Chris Godwin who was targeted double
Speaker 1: digit times last night, UM was getting force fed targets
Speaker 1: in the end zone as well, ended up scoring that touchdown.
Speaker 1: Looks like he's going to be a great player as well.
Speaker 1: Do we want Jamis Winston to come back and take
Speaker 1: over the court of the quarterback job right here? You
Speaker 1: know the answer to that? Quarter I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know why would you Why would you want that? No,
Speaker 1: there's still something deep down inside that thinks that James
Speaker 1: Winston has this huge upside. But I guess Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: is doing Yeah, well, we always wanted to. Couldn't do
Speaker 1: any better than right It's Patrick. No, there's no way.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no quarterback ever that's doing better than
Speaker 1: what Ryan Fitzpatrick is doing right now. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a question for fantasy owners. Dude, I really don't.
Speaker 1: There is no question here, Like you want Rivot's Patrick
Speaker 1: to remain the starting quarterback very obviously. Hello, it was
Speaker 1: came back from seventeen points down in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: and if it wasn't, very stupid decision in my estimation,
Speaker 1: but jerk cutter, maybe they did. Like to me, how
Speaker 1: do you how do you punt two minutes and seconds
Speaker 1: ago in the game and get it? You're he just
Speaker 1: had three brutal plays in a row. You're on your
Speaker 1: side of the field. How do you punt if they
Speaker 1: get two first downs? The game is over if you
Speaker 1: hold them out of the end zone, no matter what,
Speaker 1: you got a shot. Terrible terrible coaching. Yeah, just go
Speaker 1: for it there. But look, if you're watching Ryan Fitzpatrick,
Speaker 1: he almost did it again right like when they needed
Speaker 1: him most. It's like every pass that he threw on
Speaker 1: that final drive should have been intercepted. Like that's classic
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. When the most pressure is on him, he
Speaker 1: just like throws balls in the air like without even looking.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. He doesn't care. On the other side of
Speaker 1: you also stay there and get demolished in the pocket. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's the least on least athletic rushing quarterback that we've
Speaker 1: ever had. Like Ryan Fitzpatrick, you don't like expected from him.
Speaker 1: But five rushes for twenty seven yards, he's mobile to
Speaker 1: get outside the pocket and again he's just gonna wing
Speaker 1: it down the field on the other side of the ball. Um,
Speaker 1: I think garbage time really saved James Conner's day. I
Speaker 1: think before that final drive he had like fifteen yards.
Speaker 1: He ended up with sixty one rushing yards on fifteen carries.
Speaker 1: Was also targeted six times, five receptions for thirty or
Speaker 1: four yards, didn't get in the end zone. But um,
Speaker 1: you know, I thought Corey was crazy yesterday. There are
Speaker 1: a lot of days where I think Corey is crazy,
Speaker 1: but for good reason. Um, I thought he was crazy
Speaker 1: when he was bringing up all these secondary wide receivers
Speaker 1: that are like now better than their counterparts. Do you do,
Speaker 1: Schuster now? For you know, more often than not, this
Speaker 1: season has been better than Antonio Brown. Another game with
Speaker 1: eleven targets, more targets and Antonio Brown, more receptions than
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, more than double the receiving yards and Antonio Brown,
Speaker 1: do do? Mr? Schuster is absolutely legit I don't. We
Speaker 1: all thought Antonio Brown was going to have a better
Speaker 1: game than he did last night. God bless you. You
Speaker 1: you know it's funny. We're not really funny, pretty pathetic. Actually. Um,
Speaker 1: so I played a player pool where it's a survivor
Speaker 1: player pool where you can't take the same player twice
Speaker 1: throughout the season. Um there's a playoffs that start like
Speaker 1: we twelve and all the points reset, but you still
Speaker 1: can't take the same player twice. So last night we
Speaker 1: had a very We had the first two good weeks,
Speaker 1: really really strong of top twenty eight teams out of
Speaker 1: a whole lot make the playoffs. And for the first
Speaker 1: two weeks we were awesome at had picked really good teams.
Speaker 1: This week, like we knew going in it was gonna
Speaker 1: be a disaster, and it it was. So the first
Speaker 1: two weeks we had scored and it's a true fantasy,
Speaker 1: like a quarterback three woud receivers to running backs, tight end,
Speaker 1: a kicker, defense, um through week Like, I mean, we
Speaker 1: went Week one, we could play a hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: five points or something like that. We two we had
Speaker 1: like a hundred and sixty points something like that. So
Speaker 1: going into Monday, night with a quarterback and a kicker
Speaker 1: left Frank, we had seventy five points. That's very bad,
Speaker 1: very bad. So our quarterback was Ryan Fitzpatrick and our
Speaker 1: kicker was Chandler Canazara. And then we were talking yesterday
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wait a minute, they both can't like
Speaker 1: do really well. Like one of them will do well.
Speaker 1: We should probably kick on the other team. We had
Speaker 1: already used Ben Roethlisberger, so we had Ryan, It's Pattrick.
Speaker 1: Let's switch Chandler Cannazaro with Chris Boswell. That worked poorly
Speaker 1: for us. This is just a weekend of bad decisions
Speaker 1: for Greg. So we couldn't do much right. We couldn't
Speaker 1: do much right. I'm sorry for you, Greg. You don't
Speaker 1: really sound sorry. You gotta sound preocupied to be honestly.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's troubling that Judice Smith Schuster is
Speaker 1: out performing Antonio Brown right now? Troublieve the Antonio Brown owner? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we all thought that Juju Smith Schuster was going to
Speaker 1: be the one affected by Antonio Brown. I remember when
Speaker 1: we were having all these arguments, when Michael Florida was
Speaker 1: still around. You guys were telling me all these stats
Speaker 1: about how Judice Smith Schuster only went off when Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown was out of the lineup, and it was true,
Speaker 1: and we were worried about in games that Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: plays Jujuice Smith Schuster, I was gonna take hit. And
Speaker 1: now coming into the year, it seems like Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: is the one that's taking a hit because Judic mis
Speaker 1: Schuster is frankly outperforming him. I saw I saw a
Speaker 1: stat from Graham Barfield um impairing the games that Jujics
Speaker 1: miss Schuster has played without Levan Bell, and those are
Speaker 1: games where he's gone completely off. I don't want to
Speaker 1: say that the trust is gone between Antonio Brown and
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, but they're not. Only we're not on the
Speaker 1: same page. Multiple times last night, what it called a
Speaker 1: deep a deep route down the left side, like a
Speaker 1: comeback route like Antonio Brown normally knows. When it turned
Speaker 1: around was last third down of the game, and he
Speaker 1: just kept going, just kept going. And then you don't
Speaker 1: see that between those two, No question about it hasn't
Speaker 1: happened with Juju. There is is growing friendship, love, trust,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it when it comes to
Speaker 1: Judice to the Schuster that is there. I think it's
Speaker 1: absolutely possible that Juju is taking this role. Yes, So
Speaker 1: that sweet that I mentioned from Grand Barfield. It's Judician
Speaker 1: Schuster's updated receiving lines in games without Levi on Bell
Speaker 1: nine one and one on ten targets five for one,
Speaker 1: nineteen eleven targets, thirteen for one and one nineteen targets,
Speaker 1: nine for one, sixteen on eleven targets. That was last
Speaker 1: night and that span. Juju averages nine receptions per game
Speaker 1: d twenty four point three yards game twelve point eight
Speaker 1: targets per game when Levion Bell is not in the lineup.
Speaker 1: Levion Bell is clearly not the h James Conner is
Speaker 1: clearly not the receiving threat that Levian Bell was obviously
Speaker 1: when he was in the lineup. Like, he still gets
Speaker 1: targets and receptions more so than other running backs, but
Speaker 1: not to the level that Levion Bell did. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting. James Conner probably had his weakest game
Speaker 1: of the season, probably did had his weakest game of
Speaker 1: the season last night. Do you think this brings any
Speaker 1: urgency for then to get Levam Bell to show up?
Speaker 1: Now they won the game, So yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: was a lot closer than it should have been. We
Speaker 1: were sweating that one out, which if you listen to
Speaker 1: us yesterday, we said we liked the Steelers, and we
Speaker 1: said not to touch you over under because it was
Speaker 1: gonna be close. And it was on that when it
Speaker 1: was thirty twenty, I was like, all right, you know,
Speaker 1: if the Steelers can hold the Bucks, will field go here,
Speaker 1: we'll get it right three maybe the game can end
Speaker 1: that way. But they scored a touchdown and then that
Speaker 1: gives me. But it was close, yeah, absolutely over under.
Speaker 1: The over runder was closed quite obviously. Um, and we
Speaker 1: like we like to Steelers. We were I means I went, oh,
Speaker 1: I means I went to one of my picks. Great,
Speaker 1: and I got Peyton Barbara wrong, but I got right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that's where I actually went to Google look up.
Speaker 1: So Barbara started off running the ball well average four
Speaker 1: point one yards for carry, eight carries thirty three yards.
Speaker 1: Obviously got game scripted. Jaquiz Rodgers was by the way, brutal,
Speaker 1: brutal running the ball, brutal pass blocking the ball. I
Speaker 1: don't understand it. I don't understand why he that just
Speaker 1: tells you how low they are and Ronald Jones right
Speaker 1: now that he is not active to the point where
Speaker 1: they have ja Quiz Rodgers just running into the back
Speaker 1: of his offensive line. Um not pass blocking well as
Speaker 1: you mentioned, and then on the target that was a
Speaker 1: pick six. I don't think that was his fault overall,
Speaker 1: Like Ryan Fitzpatrick just overthrew him a little bit, but
Speaker 1: he was involved in that play as well. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess so. I think that Ronald Jones and I thought
Speaker 1: maybe it was made sense. You have to hold them
Speaker 1: onto longer or say goodbye. I thought that he would
Speaker 1: be a surprise active for this game. Maybe give him
Speaker 1: a few times, get him involved, you know, sprinkle him
Speaker 1: in with the let all of America and the rest
Speaker 1: of the world get a little taste of Ronald Jones.
Speaker 1: But that obviously did not happen. I've had a lot
Speaker 1: of people asking me how long do I think Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is going to hold onto the job, and I
Speaker 1: think it's a pretty impossible question. Answer. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: very impossible question. Answer. He hasn't for Week four, that's
Speaker 1: already been announced. Week five will be the answering. I
Speaker 1: think it will be the first game where Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: is Ryan Fitzpatrick and that really like causes them to lose.
Speaker 1: That's where you're gonna start hearing the murmurs. Right, who
Speaker 1: do you live this week? Do you know? I could
Speaker 1: here facing the Bears in Chicago, so that came not
Speaker 1: be a great one tough game. But we'll say this,
Speaker 1: their offenses put up twenty seven I know right, it's
Speaker 1: Patrick through three interceptions, did not look good at times
Speaker 1: last night. You put up twenty seven points a game
Speaker 1: probably not coming out. Oh absolutely, if he does that again,
Speaker 1: then it won't. If he does that again, they should
Speaker 1: either win against the Bears because I don't know if
Speaker 1: the Bears can keep up with them, or they'll lose
Speaker 1: because their defense was absolutely terrible. Ye could definitely be
Speaker 1: a possibility easily. Uh. The NFC South by the Way,
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Carolina all sit at two in one,
Speaker 1: Atlanta one game back at one and two. We should
Speaker 1: also note that the matchups they've had, we know now
Speaker 1: that the Saints defense is terrible, Like it is back
Speaker 1: to being the Saints defense from two years ago and
Speaker 1: every other year that Drew Brees was their quarterback. And
Speaker 1: I think the same thing could be said for the
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers too. They're just not good. So those are
Speaker 1: teams that you really want to attack. When we see
Speaker 1: those high over under totals game totals for the against
Speaker 1: the Steelers and against the Saints, those games are gonna
Speaker 1: be shootouts. Um, Philadelphia, I think that was a game
Speaker 1: where Ryan Fitzpatrick really showed out there. They still do
Speaker 1: have some deficiencies against the past. We know how good
Speaker 1: their front seven is. They limit the run all the time,
Speaker 1: but that was still impressive to do that against the
Speaker 1: Eagles defense. I thought so. I thought so too. Um,
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh next week has Baltimore, which is it was an
Speaker 1: interesting spot. It has McDonald obviously had a huge game
Speaker 1: last night. Jesse James was extremely quiet after his huge
Speaker 1: game the week before. Um. Yeah, so I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know what to make it necessarily, Antonio Brown. Um,
Speaker 1: going forward, it's gonna all have from the NFL ball.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of just dragging now. Yeah, Dealers and Bucks.
Speaker 1: It's over. We're on to week four where we finally
Speaker 1: get two teams on by the Washington Football team and
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. Carolina Washington on by which means the
Speaker 1: BFS have to start Dak Prescot. That might be correct,
Speaker 1: and we have no a Dream Peterson, so we're screwed. Really,
Speaker 1: that's that's an issue. I'm looking at our team. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at our team now. So you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: find ways to replace Christian mccaffe and we're gonna do
Speaker 1: a Waiver Wire episode today. But there's not a lot
Speaker 1: of fresh converses Detroit. You're in the line up. Nice? Great?
Speaker 1: Oh you start Aaron Jones. I don't have a choice.
Speaker 1: Start Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams. Always fun, Greg, We
Speaker 1: could do that. We can also start Frank Gore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good times. You start mark mark ingram On on a
Speaker 1: suspension might do better than Frank Gore had similar fantasy
Speaker 1: production last week. That's true. Yeah, so the bodies do
Speaker 1: start this week Thursday. That football man with the rams
Speaker 1: of the Bikings that is tough as the guy that
Speaker 1: owns Robert Woods and Cooper Cup. I don't know what
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna continue to say
Speaker 1: what I've said. Oh year, I think Cooper Cup is
Speaker 1: the safest of all of them when they go up
Speaker 1: against teams that have strong outside cornerbacks. Which the Vikings
Speaker 1: obviously do with Xavier Rhodes and Trey Wayne. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to continue to ride that. I think Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: is the safest guy. But again, Robert Woods and Brandon Cooks,
Speaker 1: they're kind of proving that their matchup proof regardless, right
Speaker 1: Like if a team tries to shut them down one,
Speaker 1: then are just gonna go to Robert Wood a ton,
Speaker 1: which is what we saw last week. And Brandon Cooks
Speaker 1: by all means still did not have a bad game.
Speaker 1: No he didn't. They all have safe floors and they
Speaker 1: have are proving now that they all have big ceilings
Speaker 1: as well. You know, It's really interesting is the other side,
Speaker 1: right Marcus Peters Oup tune to four weeks. I keeps
Speaker 1: to leave potentially done for the year. Absolutely brutal injuries
Speaker 1: in the secondary for the Rams, and if their defense
Speaker 1: is letting up points, it's only going to be good
Speaker 1: for the offense. You're just gonna have to keep pushing
Speaker 1: and pushing and pushing. And I know taking the over
Speaker 1: on a Thursday night game, especially at fourty nine and
Speaker 1: a half, seems crazy, but I think there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some point scored in this game. I think the Vikings
Speaker 1: are going to bounce back in a big way. I
Speaker 1: mean to get embarrassed against the Buffalo Bills the way
Speaker 1: that they did. We spoke about it yesterday. How that's
Speaker 1: the biggest upset in like twenty three, TWI years something
Speaker 1: like that. And especially with those Rams cornerbacks out, greg,
Speaker 1: I think Adam Feeling and Stefon Diggs are going to
Speaker 1: be in for big games. Not only that, the Rams
Speaker 1: haven't been great at shutting down tight ends this year either. Um,
Speaker 1: so yeah, it looks like all three of the main
Speaker 1: pass catching options in Minnesota are going to be in
Speaker 1: four productive weeks on Thursday against the Los Angeles Rams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it'll be obviously something you're gonna have to monitor. Um,
Speaker 1: it's just tough for me, man, I am not gonna
Speaker 1: know what to do. I'm not gonna know what to
Speaker 1: do with that. I'm not gonna know what to do
Speaker 1: with Just start both start both friends wide receivers. Why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you? Who else do you play? The Vikings have
Speaker 1: Calmen Ridley, Kay, who else? It's just a team where
Speaker 1: you have bad flex options. Oh, this is a good team.
Speaker 1: This is this one and two. It's like it's a
Speaker 1: good team though, Like I put, this is a good
Speaker 1: one and too, I have a bunch of points. I
Speaker 1: feel good about this team. The other one, there's just
Speaker 1: no hope you're gonna start Jordan Wilkins again this week.
Speaker 1: I can't start start sending out those Odell Beckham for
Speaker 1: three player trades and yesterday man I proposed I told
Speaker 1: you you were around with the yesterday when I was
Speaker 1: proposing trades, I proposed good trades Odell Beckam, Rackina now
Speaker 1: and Marshall Marshawn Lynch fair trade. Yeah, I'd say that
Speaker 1: that's I'd probably if I was the other owner, I'd
Speaker 1: probably want another piece and return just something he wanted
Speaker 1: me to throw. Ronald Jones, I said sure, So are
Speaker 1: you gonna do it? I said yes, and then he
Speaker 1: has to said yes to think about it. Okay, sleep on.
Speaker 1: It is that Max? No, that's not Max. Waiver wire
Speaker 1: pulls money if he hasn't even left data break. We'll
Speaker 1: take into the wavor wire, particularly the rod receivers running Max.

Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Best Friends Forever Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Frankie,
Speaker 1: I want at the end of the wide receiver ads
Speaker 1: for this week, and I was talking to you during
Speaker 1: the break about a particular one in Arizona. Josh Rosen's
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for the Cardinals. We knew that much.
Speaker 1: Does is show an imp an uptick in production from
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald? Quite possibly, sure, But what I'm most interested
Speaker 1: in is Christian Kirk is pretty much available everywhere, right,
Speaker 1: Like we're talking of leagues or so, how much you
Speaker 1: spending on Christian Kirk in the waighbor wider, especially in
Speaker 1: deeper leagues where he's likely the best option available. I'm
Speaker 1: willing to go as high as seven or eight percent
Speaker 1: of my remaining fab budget um because I'm interested in
Speaker 1: what he could do. With Josh Rosen, we spoke about
Speaker 1: this a lot last year and the year before. Whenever
Speaker 1: we get a backup quarterback or a rookie quarterback coming in,
Speaker 1: who's going to get an opportunity to start? You want
Speaker 1: to see who? Did they get to work with a
Speaker 1: lot throughout the preseason when they were running with the two's,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be Christian Kirk. Josh Rosen worked a lot
Speaker 1: with him. They're both rookie players obviously coming in they
Speaker 1: were They had rookie minicamp together. So basically as long
Speaker 1: as they've been professionals with the Arizona Cardinals, they've worked together.
Speaker 1: And Christian kirkerk saw an uptick last week. He played
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the offensive snaps. He's actually gotten better,
Speaker 1: which with each passing week so far to this NFL season,
Speaker 1: I will say that he his seventy four percent of
Speaker 1: snaps was still third on the team, behind both Chad
Speaker 1: Williams and Larry Fitzgerald, but he led them in Week
Speaker 1: three and targets with eight receptions with seven receiving yards
Speaker 1: with ninety air yards with seventy one, which is interesting,
Speaker 1: and in yards after the catch with thirty two, It's
Speaker 1: still seems like Larry Fitzgerald is going to play the
Speaker 1: snap the slot for this team, playing forty five of
Speaker 1: fifty two of his snaps inside the slot. Christian Kirk,
Speaker 1: that was a position that he played most in college.
Speaker 1: He played as a slot receiver when he was at
Speaker 1: Texas A and m fourteen of forty five snaps this
Speaker 1: week in the slot. So it reminds me a little bit.
Speaker 1: And I saw I believe it was. I think it
Speaker 1: was was it It was either Grand Barfield or Scott.
Speaker 1: I think it was Scott Barrett. Scott Barrett was speaking
Speaker 1: about how it reminds him of Nelson Aglar. Nelson Aglo
Speaker 1: was courts to the outside when he first came into
Speaker 1: the league and he was really not good. And the
Speaker 1: when he's allowed to play the slot again last year,
Speaker 1: he excelled in that. So I do worry about that
Speaker 1: with Kirk, but I like the fact that he has
Speaker 1: familiarity with Josh rosen Um, so I'm willing to go
Speaker 1: as high as seven eight percent. I think he among
Speaker 1: all these wide receivers. We're gonna talk about is the
Speaker 1: most widely available and as a guy who can contribute
Speaker 1: right away. Yeah, so I think ultimately your theory of
Speaker 1: the back the backup quarterback with the backup wide receiver,
Speaker 1: it makes sense. You grow together, and certainly early around rookies,
Speaker 1: they probably have a room together and practicing together, um
Speaker 1: since the beginning, and I think there is something there.
Speaker 1: You saw it, Christian Kirk targeted a few times when
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen came in on that last drive of the game.
Speaker 1: Now it's certainly easier to use your tight end to
Speaker 1: use your veteran wide receiver and Larry Fitzgerald and a
Speaker 1: Ricky Seals Jones. I think that makes sense for me
Speaker 1: when it comes to video. Christian Kirk, I'm only in
Speaker 1: a bit a few dollars. I think there's some better
Speaker 1: wide receivers that are out there. I'm not blowing the budget.
Speaker 1: I'm not buying into the Cardinals offense all of a
Speaker 1: sudden exploding because I don't think it will. Um. I
Speaker 1: don't think the offense is going to be worse with
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen than it was. It can't be. It can't be.
Speaker 1: Josh coming into Week three with the Cardinals offense had
Speaker 1: scored six points. Sam Bradford was not throwing the ball
Speaker 1: downfield at all. I think he was throwing the ball
Speaker 1: more behind the line of scrimmage, and he was actually
Speaker 1: beyond the line of scrimmage. So he was literally just
Speaker 1: a checkdown king, a guy who got paid twenty million
Speaker 1: dollars in the off season to come in and just
Speaker 1: check the ball down. For the Arizona Cardinals, it's a
Speaker 1: bad job by them. I will agree with you that
Speaker 1: it's still not an ideal offense. Their offensive line is
Speaker 1: not great. Um, So Josh Rosen's gonna see a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure, especially in his first career start against the
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears on the road. So I'm not saying I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get Christian Kirk in my lineup right away, but
Speaker 1: he's a guy I want to pick up and see
Speaker 1: what report is like with Josh Orden has a starting quarterback.
Speaker 1: We talked about rapport, and we talked about waiting and seeing.
Speaker 1: You can no longer wait and see on a guy
Speaker 1: like Tyler boy because A J. Green heard his groin
Speaker 1: at the end or the really the beginning of the
Speaker 1: second half UM in Week number three, and Tyler boyd
Speaker 1: went off his first career a hundred yard game, UM,
Speaker 1: and that's a lot of that was with a J.
Speaker 1: Green in the line of Tyler boy has certainly emerged
Speaker 1: this year for the Cincinnati Bengals, and yet according to
Speaker 1: CBS Leagues, he's only owned in under thirty percent of leagues.
Speaker 1: People were not buying in frank last week. Now he
Speaker 1: cost you know too, three four or five, six, seven
Speaker 1: eight dollars last week. Now you're in the double digits
Speaker 1: because costing you over ten percent of your budgets to
Speaker 1: go out and get Tyler Boyd. Now this week, Boyd
Speaker 1: is one of those waiver wire finds that desperate for me,
Speaker 1: Like I wasn't a flex and it's been enough on
Speaker 1: him last week. I'm gonna check my bid when when
Speaker 1: you start talking. But it's been enough and I didn't
Speaker 1: get a Tyler Boyd who now is the number one
Speaker 1: wide receiver for Cincinnati. UM with a J. Green out
Speaker 1: if he is out. But certainly his mark is made
Speaker 1: with the Bengals, yes, for sure. And I was aggressive
Speaker 1: on him on him last week in the Flex League.
Speaker 1: I spent thirteen dollars on him in a one dollar budget.
Speaker 1: So I believe we said anywhere from like nine to
Speaker 1: eleven percent last week on him. That number this week
Speaker 1: is going to grow to over he went, gonna have
Speaker 1: to be he went in my league last week just
Speaker 1: for example, like I said, seven dollars right over that
Speaker 1: seven eight range I had been three. Now it's cost
Speaker 1: me in a major way. Yeah, it's again, it's gonna go.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to spend twenty percent if you want
Speaker 1: to get him. He has twenty one targets on the season.
Speaker 1: Greg that's eighteen percent of the target share last week.
Speaker 1: A hundred and thirty two yards. I thought this was
Speaker 1: really interesting. A D thirteen air yards, thirty nine yards
Speaker 1: after the catch, sixteen point one a dot. So he's
Speaker 1: working both in the slot and on the outside, but
Speaker 1: he's not being used as just a traditional slot receiver
Speaker 1: that runs quick slants and runs routes close to the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. He's being used down the field. They're
Speaker 1: targeting him on deep passes as well. You can see
Speaker 1: that in his area yards and and in his A
Speaker 1: dot all all of those categories lead the Bengals in
Speaker 1: Week three. That was obviously with A. J. Green a
Speaker 1: little bit banged up, but it will say his targets
Speaker 1: were still just at seven last week. On the season,
Speaker 1: he does have twenty one targets eighteen percent of the
Speaker 1: target shore. That's second on the team, but last week
Speaker 1: he was behind Giovanni Bernard, Tyler Eiffort, A J. Green Um.
Speaker 1: But I'm still willing to go as high as twenty
Speaker 1: if you really really need the wide receiver help um,
Speaker 1: and especially with A J. Green banged up this week.
Speaker 1: I know that A J. Green wants to play because
Speaker 1: he's going back home in Atlanta where he played college
Speaker 1: ball at Georgia, and him and Julio Jones have kind
Speaker 1: of been compared to each other as long as they've
Speaker 1: been in the league. They were in the same draft together.
Speaker 1: So I know A J. Green wants to it out there,
Speaker 1: but groin injuries are really, really tricky. I don't know
Speaker 1: that he's going to be able to And if A J.
Speaker 1: Green can't go, Tyler Boyd crazy enough to say you
Speaker 1: might be a top twenty four wide receiver this week.
Speaker 1: Greig based on all the injuries to the to the
Speaker 1: Falcon secondary. As you see the Corey Parson from then
Speaker 1: starts talking to me. A lot of cameras producer Corey
Speaker 1: Parson joining the show and there you go. Producer Corey
Speaker 1: Parson has a nice ring to it. It's unbelievable Corey
Speaker 1: Parson on the Ones and two. But you're right A J. Green, Um,
Speaker 1: those groin injuries do tend to linger. Will hear more
Speaker 1: about them from Inside Injuries on Thursday with Virginia and
Speaker 1: with Dr a Um. Tyler Boyd the number one guy
Speaker 1: out there. I said, it's gonna cost you quite a
Speaker 1: bit of money probably, I think of your budget at
Speaker 1: this point. If you're hurting for wide receiver, I'm willing
Speaker 1: to go as high in my budget makes sense. I
Speaker 1: think I think you have to be Corey on the
Speaker 1: Frenzy yesterday started out a show saying, listen, Tyler Boyd
Speaker 1: is is the guy in Cincinnati. A J. Green Old news, Oh,
Speaker 1: Corey Pawson that a lot of things to Julio Jones
Speaker 1: has done. Also, Calvin Realley better than Julio Jones. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: it might be better than maybe the more information like that.
Speaker 1: You have to check out fantas football friends, because your
Speaker 1: way about a half hour from now. Um, Calvial really
Speaker 1: let's spak about him. He's on the lot He's on
Speaker 1: and stashed pretty much everywhere right or so leagues. I
Speaker 1: would say, if he is available in ten team leagues
Speaker 1: and one, do you go out and pick him up
Speaker 1: nuber two, how much you spending? Yeah? Absolutely, he's a
Speaker 1: must owned player. Like I was mentioning yesterday when people
Speaker 1: were asking me ken both him and Julio Jones have
Speaker 1: value together. I think that's absolutely possible. Julio Jones is
Speaker 1: still a wide receiver one for fantasy, and I'm pushing
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley inside my top thirty six. I think he
Speaker 1: is a viable wide receiver three. Now, he still might
Speaker 1: be boom or busty because Mohammed Sanu is playing more
Speaker 1: snaps in him, but Alvin Ridley is getting targeted more
Speaker 1: of the target share over the last two weeks at
Speaker 1: his second most on the team, behind only Julio Jones.
Speaker 1: But during that span, greg Calvin Ridley thirteen targets, eleven receptions,
Speaker 1: two ten yards, four touchdowns, fifty seven point two PPR points.
Speaker 1: Julio Jones during that same stretch he has more targets.
Speaker 1: If you play in a point per target league, yeah,
Speaker 1: you'll be great with Julio Jones ten receptions. That's one
Speaker 1: lesson Calvin Redley. A hundred and sixty yards. That's fifty
Speaker 1: receiving yards lesson Calvin Redley. You don't need you don't
Speaker 1: need me to tell you this. He has zero touchdowns
Speaker 1: his twenty six PPR points that is thirty one less
Speaker 1: PPR points over the last two weeks. Calvin really absolutely
Speaker 1: needs to be owned, even in a ten team league.
Speaker 1: If he's available in your league, I'm going his highest
Speaker 1: thirty percent of my budget. Greg absolutely loving him. They
Speaker 1: drafted him for a reason, and the fact brought it up.
Speaker 1: You did bring it up. You said they do this
Speaker 1: Roddy White and Julio Jones. They drafted Julio Jones to
Speaker 1: be the successor to Roddy whitep. That's exactly what they did,
Speaker 1: and they still had successful Fantasy years together. I'm not
Speaker 1: here to tell you that Calvin Ridley is just all
Speaker 1: of a sudden gonna take over Julio Jones and be
Speaker 1: the wide receiver one on the team. What can happen
Speaker 1: in two or three years from now? It certainly could,
Speaker 1: and both guys can be Fantasy viable together. We've seen
Speaker 1: it done before. Greg. Now, other wide receivers that could
Speaker 1: be out there this week. Mike Williams on the list
Speaker 1: percent of leagus. I know people love Mike Williams, You, sir,
Speaker 1: love Mike Williams or one of the one of those
Speaker 1: guys Corey mentioned. Keenan Allen is somebody yesterday that falling
Speaker 1: by the wayside, right, Mike Williams stepping up the number
Speaker 1: one wide receiver. We're not just talking yesterday about training
Speaker 1: for Keenan Allen. Um, you said, is he the guy?
Speaker 1: If you're philing? You literally asked me if Philip Rivers
Speaker 1: is in the red zone, are you throwing it keen
Speaker 1: now and or Mike Williams. And my response was, probably
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. If Mike Williams is out there for you
Speaker 1: to spend, I think he's right in the same range
Speaker 1: as the rest of these guys. I don't know that
Speaker 1: he has the same opportunity, but he's gonna be in
Speaker 1: that range. He should be owned in more than forty
Speaker 1: eight percent of leagues, should be owned intent team leagues,
Speaker 1: and should be own in twelve team leagues because he
Speaker 1: does have immense upside. I don't think he's actually going
Speaker 1: to supplant Keenan Allen because they play different roles on
Speaker 1: their team totally. Obviously, Keenan Allen is still the go
Speaker 1: to guy. He's dominating targets for this team, but he's
Speaker 1: more of the possession guy. He's the guy that Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers leans on more often. But what we're seeing Mike
Speaker 1: Williams takeover is that he has he has thirteen less
Speaker 1: targets on the season than Keenan Allen, yet he has
Speaker 1: twenty more air yards this year, so he's being targeted
Speaker 1: more so as he down the field. Threat We're seeing
Speaker 1: guys like Travis Benjamin kind of fall by the wayside.
Speaker 1: He's not really playing much anymore. His snaps are going
Speaker 1: way down. For the Los Angeles Chargers. Tyro Williams is
Speaker 1: still playing more than Mike Williams, which is annoying honestly,
Speaker 1: but he is not being targeted as as much as
Speaker 1: Mike Williams down the field. He's not being targeted more overall,
Speaker 1: and Mike Williams um is being targeted in the red zone.
Speaker 1: He has three red zone targets to Keenan Allen's four,
Speaker 1: but obviously has the the three targets, I mean the
Speaker 1: three touchdowns this year, and I believe Keenan Allen only
Speaker 1: has one UM, but Mike Himes is playing more overall
Speaker 1: over the past two weeks, Week one of the snaps
Speaker 1: Weeks two nice sixty seven point three in weeks three,
Speaker 1: I kind of I want to see Mike Williams start
Speaker 1: to supplant Tyer Williams though, and get that up until
Speaker 1: the percent of the snaps, which I think will happen
Speaker 1: the more of the season goes on. I agree with
Speaker 1: I agree with that the more he gets his legs
Speaker 1: under a little bit, the more comfortable that Philip Rivers
Speaker 1: feels throwing him like it was a man child. Though
Speaker 1: you absolutely like both of his touchdowns that he scored
Speaker 1: this week. I'm watching in my house. I'm like, this
Speaker 1: guy is unstoppable because if if you're game planning to
Speaker 1: stop the charters, who do you stop? You're gonna try
Speaker 1: and stop Keenan Allen, who would be a PPR monster
Speaker 1: and rack up easily, you know, ten to fifteen receptions
Speaker 1: on you if you wanted to, if Philip Vers wants
Speaker 1: to go that route, or they could throw the ball
Speaker 1: double digit times to Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler. So
Speaker 1: who do you try and stop? You try and stop
Speaker 1: all these other weapons. Mike Williams is gonna have single covers,
Speaker 1: and I saw that when that happens in the red zone, especially,
Speaker 1: no one's gonna be able to stop him one on one.
Speaker 1: He's a six four wide receiver who runs good routes,
Speaker 1: has strong hands, and he can jump out of the gym.
Speaker 1: This is the reason why he was drafted as the
Speaker 1: what six or seventh overall player last year. I'll go
Speaker 1: as far as to say he might have more value
Speaker 1: than Corey Davis right now ready, who was being drafted
Speaker 1: five rounds earlier. I agree with that. Mike Williams Corey
Speaker 1: Davis taken essentially back to back in last year's draft.
Speaker 1: People love Corey Davis Nan Child as well, but his
Speaker 1: quarterback situation, his offense, it's not great. Now. There are
Speaker 1: times this week, by the way, that Corey Davis looked
Speaker 1: really good, like get the ball in his hands and
Speaker 1: he can make some stuff happen. The offense is is
Speaker 1: not the offensive The Chargers have, just not Corey Davis
Speaker 1: in that spot. It may be very very different. It's
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbert or a Marcus Mariotta dealing with a nerve
Speaker 1: issue which we really don't know much about. They're clearly
Speaker 1: not going to throw the ball down the field. That
Speaker 1: is where Corey Davis would excel. But if you look
Speaker 1: at the Titans offense, no pass catcher is excelling on
Speaker 1: the seam right now. It's not Richard Matthews, it's not
Speaker 1: Taiwan Taylor, it's not John lu Smith. Like their offense
Speaker 1: is just absolutely abysmal, and they're actually competing in game
Speaker 1: just because their defense is playing great. Now other wide
Speaker 1: receivers that are out there that I drive I talk
Speaker 1: the last week about dropping story. Shepherd said that with you.
Speaker 1: I said that to you. Every everywhere had a really
Speaker 1: really good game, and I think it's a direct result
Speaker 1: to Evan Ingram getting hurt. Now Ingram well, here more
Speaker 1: about him, certainly on Thursday with Dry and Virginia as well.
Speaker 1: They're week he's week to week. He's not day to day.
Speaker 1: He's weeks to week. He's not gonna play this weekend,
Speaker 1: may not play next weekend either. That means Shepherd's value
Speaker 1: is going off. But if he was dropped, probably worth
Speaker 1: picking back up, especially in the short term. I will
Speaker 1: say that I don't think he has as much upside
Speaker 1: as any of the other wide receivers we talked about.
Speaker 1: He probably has more upside than a guy like Christian
Speaker 1: Kirk just because of the Arizona Cardinals offense. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a direct correlation to Evan Ingram going down and
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd just stepping up. And this is what we've
Speaker 1: said before the season. Greg, the reason why I didn't
Speaker 1: like Evan Ingram is because there's too many mouths to feed,
Speaker 1: and we've seen that already. On the year, he's been inconsistent.
Speaker 1: He scored a garbage time touchdown against the Cowboy Ways,
Speaker 1: But Odell Beckham and Sae Kwon Barkley are clearly going
Speaker 1: to touch the ball most in this offense, There's no
Speaker 1: question about that. And then on a week to week basis,
Speaker 1: is either going to be Shepherd or Ingram. What if
Speaker 1: Ingram's out. Shepherd is clearly the number three guy in
Speaker 1: the offense, and he saw him score the touchdown this
Speaker 1: past week, and that's because defenses are trying to stop
Speaker 1: players like Odell Beckham and Sae Kwon Barkley. There's been
Speaker 1: two players that have been targeted inside the ten yard
Speaker 1: line for the Giants is here. One of those targets
Speaker 1: has gone to set Kwon Barkley. The other has gone
Speaker 1: to Sterling Shepherd. That's what resulted in touchdown this past week.
Speaker 1: There you go, There you go, Sterling Shepherd the number
Speaker 1: three option when Evan Ingram isn't around, and ultimately number
Speaker 1: three is so bad in an offense that should be
Speaker 1: able to move the ball. I agree, he's way below
Speaker 1: all these other guys who talked about the Mike Williams
Speaker 1: and Tyler boys. That Calvin Ridley is the world of
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd. Certainly worth talking about some other wide receivers
Speaker 1: before we hit the break, Let's go to Green Bay
Speaker 1: and talk about Geronimo Allison. You talk about from number
Speaker 1: three targets, Donald Allison's probably the number three, maybe number four,
Speaker 1: depending on where you value Randall Cobb. But he's a
Speaker 1: three just score touchdown really any week when Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: is throwing the ball. That's why I like to draft him,
Speaker 1: and that's why I think he's probably worth picking up.
Speaker 1: I think he's a good bench guy, probably good bye guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he absolutely is. And you know I was watching um
Speaker 1: the lineup lock Live show on on Sunday morning, and Corey,
Speaker 1: to his credit, said that Donalmo Allison is a week in,
Speaker 1: week outstarter in PPR, and it doesn't it surprises you,
Speaker 1: but he's had at least twelve PPR points in each
Speaker 1: of his first three games. Um, you still want to
Speaker 1: see those targets come up. He's third on the team
Speaker 1: in terms of targets share ryandad cops getting targeted a
Speaker 1: lot still and that's annoying for Geronimo Allison owners. But
Speaker 1: Allison right now is the one that's actually putting up
Speaker 1: the points. So I would still rank him behind Bridley
Speaker 1: Boyd and Mike Williams, probably ahead of Sterling Shephard just
Speaker 1: because he's the number three in a better offense in green.
Speaker 1: But I agree with that. Jordy Nelson's owned six percent
Speaker 1: of fantasy leagues. Frank he picking him up? No, Yeah,
Speaker 1: out of the running backs go top. Next, there's only

Speaker 1: Corey the bouncer did not do his job. It seems
Speaker 1: Um weaves a friend with Mike. He's kind of looking around.
Speaker 1: So I'll figure it out after the program figured out.
Speaker 1: Figure it out. No a deal. Are there any other
Speaker 1: wide receivers you want to mention? Frank before we move on?
Speaker 1: I listed Antonio Callaway just owned he was targeted. I
Speaker 1: believe it was double digit times last week and that
Speaker 1: Thursday night game. And this goes back to the whether
Speaker 1: you believe he was a backup or a starter all
Speaker 1: along in training camp, but he was likely working with
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield a lot so ring the preseason. And Jarvis
Speaker 1: Landry has his role on the team, he has that
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown role in the Todd Haley offense, so he's
Speaker 1: going to easily be the most targeted player on this team.
Speaker 1: But I think Antonio Callaway has a role Um, and
Speaker 1: given how accurate Baker Mayfield was I mean, the most
Speaker 1: accurate quarterback in college history in all three levels of
Speaker 1: the past game down the field as well. Antonio Callaway
Speaker 1: is gonna have some value here. He's behind everyone that
Speaker 1: we've mentioned except for would you rather have Calaware Kirk? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I agree with you, But it's close. It's close,
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's Uh. If all those other guys are
Speaker 1: owned from Ridley, Mike Williams, Jernimo Allison, and if Callaway
Speaker 1: is available, because he's only I think he's a guy
Speaker 1: worth mentioning. Yeah, I completely completely agree with all of that.
Speaker 1: Let me get some players to drop. You asked me
Speaker 1: a good one during the break. Mike Williams is out there.
Speaker 1: You're dropping Mike. You're dropping Corey Davis or Mike Williams. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Someone in YouTube chat just asked the same question about
Speaker 1: both Mike Willams and Calvin Ridley, and I said I
Speaker 1: would tyler him in there too. I would drop Corey
Speaker 1: Davis to certainly get Calvin Ridley right now. I do
Speaker 1: it from Mike Williams, I would. I mean, how long
Speaker 1: can you wait into a fantasy season, especially you know,
Speaker 1: if you're dying for a win. Look, if you drafted
Speaker 1: Corey Davis in the fifth or sixth round where he
Speaker 1: was going and you probably need help at the wide
Speaker 1: receiver position right now. You can't afford to wait. Ideally,
Speaker 1: I would want to hold onto him. I still think
Speaker 1: that he has upside based on everything that we've seen
Speaker 1: from this Titans offense. It's just not clicking right now.
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbert Marcus Mariota with the injury. Uh, they're not
Speaker 1: throwing the ball down the field. They're not getting creative
Speaker 1: with Corey Davis, something that we thought that they would
Speaker 1: be doing, but it just hasn't worked out. So I'll
Speaker 1: take the production of what you're getting out of all
Speaker 1: three of those other guys right now than what you're
Speaker 1: getting out of Corey Davis. Listen, the fact is meber
Speaker 1: Got Mariota can barely group of football. I don't mean
Speaker 1: that to say that like haphazardly, like he's having trouble
Speaker 1: doing it. He's not gonna be able to throw it
Speaker 1: down field because he's not gonna be able to have
Speaker 1: the touch on it, and marks Mariot to really relies
Speaker 1: on touch. I'm very, very worried about the value of
Speaker 1: a guy like Corey Davis. Um Chris Hogan. He's talking
Speaker 1: about him yesterday and I got some responses. He's like,
Speaker 1: come on, you're not actually dropping Chris Hogan. Chris Hogan
Speaker 1: versus all the guys, the top guys that we mentioned.
Speaker 1: I'll leave Christian Kirk and Antonio Callaway out of there
Speaker 1: because I don't think you're doing that, but Mike Williams,
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, and Tyler Boyd the top three options. We'd
Speaker 1: say all the waiver wire this week, potentially dropping Chris
Speaker 1: Hogan for those guys. I could see doing it in
Speaker 1: a ten team league, because that's those are the only
Speaker 1: leagues where I could see these guys being available, But
Speaker 1: even in a twelve teamer Again, it's similar to Corey Davis,
Speaker 1: not to the same extent, because I still think that
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan has more upside because he plays in the
Speaker 1: Patriots offense, and we saw that last year, even with
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks around, even with Gronk around, even with James
Speaker 1: White catching passes YEP. The first nine games that Chris
Speaker 1: Hogan played last year, he was a top fifteen wide receiver.
Speaker 1: So he doesn't need a huge target share in order
Speaker 1: to be viable for Fantasy he's a guy that can,
Speaker 1: you know, if everything's working out, give you six dyrds
Speaker 1: and a touchdown every single week. Might not have crazy outside,
Speaker 1: but he's still he has a safe floor, or at
Speaker 1: least he did last year. But what he's doing so
Speaker 1: far this season, Calvin Ridley, Mike Williams, and Tyler Boyd
Speaker 1: all have established roles on their team and they're producing
Speaker 1: right now, and Chris Hogan is not. So with guys
Speaker 1: like Julian Edelman and Josh Gordon on the men on
Speaker 1: the way back, I think the outlook for those other
Speaker 1: three players just looks better right now, and especially if
Speaker 1: you need the help again, if you start oh in
Speaker 1: three or one and two, you're kind of like you're
Speaker 1: back against the against the wall. You can't afford to
Speaker 1: wait on guys like Chris Hogan and Corey Davis forever
Speaker 1: you need to win, and especially if those wide receivers
Speaker 1: are available. I would do it, But similar to Corey Davis,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to drop Chris Hogan obviously, no, you
Speaker 1: know how high it was on him. But if you
Speaker 1: need to win, then you have to pick up players
Speaker 1: who are producing. I'll say this, I'll do it. For
Speaker 1: y your Boyd for sure, because I think Tyler Boyd
Speaker 1: right now, especially depending on how hurt aj Green is
Speaker 1: because the number one option in the offense numer number one.
Speaker 1: I'll do it everywhere for that. I don't know that
Speaker 1: I could do it for Calarudley and Mike Williams quite
Speaker 1: yet in a twelve team league atempting league. Fine Tea,
Speaker 1: I don't think I could pull that trigger. But how
Speaker 1: good do you feel about starting Chris Hogan this week?
Speaker 1: After another dud? Again? It's been off on like Week
Speaker 1: one was terrible, and he scored two touchdowns against the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: and that's what his upside can be. He he could
Speaker 1: be matchup proof because he has Tom Brady as his quarterback.
Speaker 1: Then last week against the Detroit Lions, he laid another egg.
Speaker 1: This week he's going up against the Miami Dolphins secondary,
Speaker 1: which has been phenomenal this year. Greg Xavier Howard, a
Speaker 1: guy that I've consistently brought up, is now shadowing opposing
Speaker 1: wide receivers. He did so last week against the Marii
Speaker 1: Cooper and he shut him down and they and they
Speaker 1: have Minka Fitzpatrick now too, who is extremely versatile. He
Speaker 1: could play in the slot as a nickel corner. He
Speaker 1: could play as a safety. He did that last week feeling,
Speaker 1: and as a starting safety, you can use as a safety,
Speaker 1: as a corner or a cornerback. This Dolphins defense is legit.
Speaker 1: They have a good defensive line, they have good pass
Speaker 1: rushers and Robert Quinn and Cameron Wake and they have
Speaker 1: an underrated secondary. Right now, how great you are you
Speaker 1: gonna feel about starting Chris Hogan this week? Not great,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, I'm gonna have Mike Williams
Speaker 1: ranked higher going up against the San Francisco forty Niners defense,
Speaker 1: which is gonna be without Richard Sherman. Call really ranked
Speaker 1: higher as well. I will because in a game against
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have Tyler Boyd ranked hire as well,
Speaker 1: even if A J. Green plays. The Bengals and the
Speaker 1: Falcons right now are at fifty one and a half
Speaker 1: at their over under. Let's the second highest over under
Speaker 1: behind only the Chiefs. We're facing the Broncos just because
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have to have the highest over under every
Speaker 1: single week. Of course, they're scoring nearly forty points game
Speaker 1: every single game, But that Falcons and Bengals game is
Speaker 1: gonna be an absolute shootout from both sides. I think
Speaker 1: there's gonna be points scored on both sides on um
Speaker 1: to some running backs before we have a video feed
Speaker 1: here another really here, we talked about Buck Allen every week.
Speaker 1: I don't kind of want I don't really want to
Speaker 1: get into it again, buck Allen. You mentioned Chris Ivory here.
Speaker 1: Depending on the genis availability for this weekend. You know,
Speaker 1: running back is an absolute crash right now. There's nothing,
Speaker 1: there's nothing to add from the Eagles. Guys like you
Speaker 1: don't want to get involved in Wendel Smallwood. Even if
Speaker 1: Coleman is somehow available, I don't think he would be.
Speaker 1: But j j I is expecting to be back this week,
Speaker 1: as is Darren Sprowls. I think Peterson actually said yesterday
Speaker 1: just a complete Eagles jumbled up running back situation, which
Speaker 1: is really why I was not high on a Ji
Speaker 1: coming into the season. And then Buck Allen once again.
Speaker 1: You know I spoke about him yesterday. He's scoring touchdowns,
Speaker 1: he's getting to go line work, but he's getting like
Speaker 1: twenty yards a game. He's gonna have a game where
Speaker 1: he doesn't score a touchdown. The guy isn't gonna score
Speaker 1: sixteen or twenty touchdowns this year. So in the game
Speaker 1: where he doesn't score a touchdown, he's gonna give you
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty yards maybe you know, three or four receptions,
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna do anything else. So he actually
Speaker 1: played more snaps than Alex Collins this past week in
Speaker 1: a game that's set up well for Alex Collins. So
Speaker 1: I don't really know what else to say about that.
Speaker 1: What look, Allen should be own if you're an Alex
Speaker 1: Collins owner, no question, no question about it. Now as
Speaker 1: we get into tight end and defenses, yere for a moment,
Speaker 1: Tyler Efforts probably the number one tight end I don't
Speaker 1: want to own right now out of these dudes on
Speaker 1: the list. Um, he got involved. Obviously CUM is still involved.
Speaker 1: But I think Tyler Eifert woke up a little bit
Speaker 1: this week, which is nice. Yes, he certainly did. He
Speaker 1: easily had his best game of the season. Um, he
Speaker 1: was the second most targeted player on the team for
Speaker 1: the Bengals this week. So that's what we wanted to see. Um, Well,
Speaker 1: not if you're Tyler Boyd owner, but overall, if you
Speaker 1: like Tyler Eifert and his upside for the season. You
Speaker 1: wanted to see him bounce back and get some targets
Speaker 1: in this game, and that's exactly what he did. And again,
Speaker 1: we're gonna just keep We're gonna keep pounding this Falcons
Speaker 1: and Bengals game all week long. But we just saw
Speaker 1: Ben Watson have like seventy yards receiving on five receptions
Speaker 1: against the Falcons defense. So um, and they lost their
Speaker 1: top safety, they lost both safeties, actually, they lost their
Speaker 1: top cover linebacker. They lost Dion Jones, Kiano O'Neil, and
Speaker 1: Ricardo Allen. Those are the guys who are normally gonna
Speaker 1: be faced with with guarding tight ends. And now Tyler
Speaker 1: Eiffert seems like he's going to be in for a
Speaker 1: good matchup this week against the Falcons. So I agree
Speaker 1: with you, but I think that there are some other
Speaker 1: interesting names out there, just to name a few. Ben
Speaker 1: Watson thirty on going up against the Giants UH this week,
Speaker 1: and we know what their woes were last year against
Speaker 1: guardian tight ends. They've been better this year for sure,
Speaker 1: but they haven't really faced a team that utilizes the
Speaker 1: tight end all that much. So I think Ben Watson
Speaker 1: is sneaky if you've lost Evan ingram Um and Vance
Speaker 1: McDonald as well is another one. I think this is
Speaker 1: a frustrating situation because weekend and week out, how do
Speaker 1: we know if it's Jesse James, if it's Vance McDonald.
Speaker 1: I think the team wants Jesse James to be the
Speaker 1: blocking tight end and Vance McDonald to be that pass
Speaker 1: catching tight end um who can be versatile as a
Speaker 1: receiver lining up at the line of scrimmage as well.
Speaker 1: That's obviously why they traded for him, So I think
Speaker 1: he has upside um. And then there's also Dallas Goddard.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Jim Day, who has been a huge
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard film all year long. Just played had it
Speaker 1: up here fifty five snaps in Week three, which was
Speaker 1: by far a season high. He played seventeen in each
Speaker 1: of weeks one and two, played fifty five this week.
Speaker 1: That was sixty seven percent of the snaps he called.
Speaker 1: He was targeted seven times, called all seven scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown as well. So if Alston Jeffrey is not back
Speaker 1: this week for the Eagles, I think Dallas Goddard is
Speaker 1: going to be a moorderline uh tight end one again
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, I think it could be definitely a
Speaker 1: sneaky play with Dallas Goddard essentially as the wide receiver
Speaker 1: three there in Philadelphia, behind zach Ertz and behind Nelson.
Speaker 1: Idealor so, I think that could be, as I said,
Speaker 1: a sneaky play there, Um players to drop. We're here's
Speaker 1: the defenses. When we wrap up, I want to do
Speaker 1: this before we have to sign off. YouTube players to drop.
Speaker 1: You've listed a whole bunch here. None of the drain
Speaker 1: interesting to me. No, they're not. Because Robby and d J. Moore,
Speaker 1: John Ross, Anthony Miller. You're dropping all of them, not
Speaker 1: thinking about it, like you're dropping for anybody that's that
Speaker 1: These aren't but their own. They're still own in twelve
Speaker 1: teen weeks. So that's why I wanted to mention them.
Speaker 1: Drop them all. Robby Anderson, Duke Johnson, Peregarson, d J. Moore,
Speaker 1: John Ross, Anthony Miller, you're dropping every single one of them. Fine,
Speaker 1: let me get to the harder ones, right. Imagine yesterday
Speaker 1: we medged today earlier. Chris Hogan and Corey Davis. I
Speaker 1: think those are really interesting. Rex Burkhead, I think he's dropbable.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Brandon, Marshall, I think he's dropable.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. That was kind of all had
Speaker 1: to like lined up. Well, we're in ingredients. Look Rex Burkehead,
Speaker 1: what we said about him yesterday, right, Sony Michelle saw
Speaker 1: Moore snaps this week. Um, he was being used really
Speaker 1: as the early down guy. He had fifteen carries in
Speaker 1: that game, rushed for about fifty yards. Um. Rex Burkhead
Speaker 1: is banged up right now and just doesn't really seem
Speaker 1: to fit what the Patriots are doing. If they are
Speaker 1: playing with the lead and they want to run the ball,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a lot of Sony Michelle
Speaker 1: and otherwise it's just James White doing everything else. We
Speaker 1: even saw James White get some carries in that game late, um,
Speaker 1: and he's obviously the past catcher out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: We thought Rex Burkehead wou be that Dion Louis Mold,
Speaker 1: that he can do a little bit of everything. But
Speaker 1: I think this injury is hurting him more than people
Speaker 1: are more than they are leading on um, which is
Speaker 1: why he left that game. I just don't think he
Speaker 1: has much value in Is DeVante Parker droppable or any
Speaker 1: of the wide receivers we mentioned today, Yes, absolutely, even
Speaker 1: even Callaway and Christian Kirk. I would say just because
Speaker 1: the Dolphins target share right now, people don't realize Jachem
Speaker 1: Grant leads this team and target so it's just it's
Speaker 1: another frustrating situation. It's really a wide receiver by committee
Speaker 1: is which is what I've seen. Fantasy Twitter kind of
Speaker 1: referred to it as Kenny Stills. That's why it's so frustrating.
Speaker 1: With Kenny Stills, You're not going to know when to
Speaker 1: start him because he's only getting five targets a week,
Speaker 1: but he's catching these long touchdowns. So, um, whether it's
Speaker 1: Jachim Grant, Albert Wilson, Kenny Stills, DeVante Parker on a
Speaker 1: weekend week out, you're not gonna know that's gonna do
Speaker 1: it for us. On the video stream, we're gonna sign
Speaker 1: off YouTube now. We will of course be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Come up next Fantasy for Ball Frenzy, Corey Parson, Jim
Speaker 1: Day and Chris Ventra for the next five minutes. Will
Speaker 1: go of course on the radio and finish out our podcast,
Speaker 1: which you can hear on iTunes, SoundCloud, Spotify, wherever you
Speaker 1: listen to your podcast. You can find us, give us
Speaker 1: five stars, leave a comment, and most importantly subscribe. We
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. Frankie, can you drop Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: You've got nothing went over the street. So what I
Speaker 1: wrote down this week is the Seahawks at the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 1: obviously going up against the rookie quarterback. The Seahawks are
Speaker 1: starting to get healthy now and had a big week
Speaker 1: last week against Dak Prescott and the Cowboys. The Cleveland
Speaker 1: Browns are still only owning six percent of leagues and
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders are in the bottom five in terms
Speaker 1: of offense points scored on the season, so their offense
Speaker 1: is not moving well right now, even if their home
Speaker 1: in the black hole. I think the Browns defense has
Speaker 1: proved to us that they are legit at this point.
Speaker 1: And this is just a really deep just based on
Speaker 1: the matchup. The Cowboys are not scoring a lot of
Speaker 1: points right now. Dak Prescott is turning the ball over.
Speaker 1: I wrote the Detroit Lions in because they looked much
Speaker 1: improved last week against New England Patriots. From Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: there you go, and I think it's very very interesting.
Speaker 1: I like the Packers um against the Bills I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna be They're gonna be out there. The Lions
Speaker 1: obviously looked improved against the Patriots, Um, like you said.
Speaker 1: And the Browns are good defense. That's just what it
Speaker 1: is they are. I mean, Myles Garrett is a freak
Speaker 1: of nature. To have Ogan Joby on the defensive line
Speaker 1: was absolutely getting it done right now. To Denzel Ward
Speaker 1: is playing the part of a top five pick in
Speaker 1: the NFL draft. He was the fourth overall pick and
Speaker 1: and really does look the part to this point in
Speaker 1: the season. So they have some pieces on defense there.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like we should just mention quarterbacks quick
Speaker 1: just because Jimmy Garoppolo went down. Um, and if these
Speaker 1: guys are available, I think Andy dall Alton leads the
Speaker 1: charge totally. It's been is it for the week or
Speaker 1: for the season. Do you think Baker Mayfield has more
Speaker 1: season long value than Andy Dalton? I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: fun like Andy Dalton, It's definitely more fun. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to dispute that at all. Like you don't want
Speaker 1: to own Andy Dalton. You don't see much upside there,
Speaker 1: but he's the QB twelve on the season so far.
Speaker 1: And I referenced the numbers since Bill Laser has taken
Speaker 1: over as the offensive coordinator last year, it's now seventeen games.
Speaker 1: It's something like last week it was thirty one touchdowns
Speaker 1: and nine interceptions, so I think he had two and two.
Speaker 1: So it's like thirty three touchdowns and eleven interceptions over
Speaker 1: his last seventeen games. That's pretty efficient and he's getting
Speaker 1: it done in this Bill Laser offense. So multiple touchdown
Speaker 1: passes in four straight games dating back to last season
Speaker 1: for Andy Dalton are gonna keep just hammering this game
Speaker 1: against the Falcons. I think there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of points scored um and that Falcons defense has allowed
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty five passing yards and three touchdowns
Speaker 1: in back to back games. So I like Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: for this week more than more than Ryan tannehim more
Speaker 1: than Baker Mayfield, and I think I like him most
Speaker 1: for the season long as well. Well. It's not the
Speaker 1: sexiest option. I'll agree with you now, it's not, but
Speaker 1: I understand. I understand where you're coming from. If you
Speaker 1: need Jimmy g and Andy Dalton certainly got on the
Speaker 1: waiver y or maybe he started bleak Bortles last week
Speaker 1: we thought was a great matchup. You were streaming quarterbacks
Speaker 1: that didn't work out for you. Mayfield, Dalton my favorite too. Um,
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Josh Rosen. Quarterback leagues, you're out there. You
Speaker 1: picked up Josh Allen, like you said last week, So
Speaker 1: they're starting quarterbacks two quarterback league. You have to be
Speaker 1: old Baker. Mayfield might not have been owned because you
Speaker 1: know he wasn't starting so right. People might have not
Speaker 1: rostered him so obviously in two quarterback leagues or in
Speaker 1: super Flex, you're gonna be blowing some fab this week
Speaker 1: on Baker on Josh Rosen or on Josh Allen, Josh Allon.
Speaker 1: Don't forget sneaky legs man. He can he can run
Speaker 1: and he showed that last week when he heard a
Speaker 1: defender in the middle of the field. Um, he was
Speaker 1: impressive both throwing and Russia. That's gonna do it for us.
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Frenzy is up next the Corey Parson, Jim
Speaker 1: Day and Chris Bensher. My name is Greg Sousman. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for watching and listening. The Fantasy best
