You're gonna 20 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: want to stay tuned for that. But before we get there, 21 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: some big injury news to get to. And this is 22 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: stuff that is just breaking within the last hour, some 23 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: conundrums that might be resolved, some issues that might actually 24 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: not be issues. Let's start with this one, Fabs. This 25 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: is something that you brought to us about a little 26 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: over an hour ago. Peyton Hillis back at practice for 27 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. I know that Hillis is a guy. 28 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: You gotta get him back in your lineup, at least 29 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: a flex play. But we saw Pat Shermer say after 30 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: the game on Sunday, Ontario Hardest he had a pretty 31 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: nice day. Ninety five yards did take him thirty three 32 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: carries to get there, but he did say he was 33 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: very impressed with what he had to do. So even 34 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: if and when Peyton Hillis comes back, it's going to 35 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: be a time share. How do you see this going forward? 36 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: I don't see a straight time share. I don't see 37 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: fifty fifty. Maybe it's seventy. Montera Harsty did not impress 38 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: me when he was on the field. I mean, thirty 39 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: three carries and he couldn't even rush for hundred yards. Uh, 40 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: Hillis is the guy to me? He is gonna lose 41 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: some carries the Hardesty. It's not gonna be like last 42 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: year where he had one touches and there was nobody 43 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: behind him on the depth chart. But I don't I 44 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: don't see a true time share. Uh. I clearly don't 45 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: like either running back this week against the Forts. They 46 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: have just been unbelievably tough on running backs. They've given 47 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: up barely any points to fantasy backs this season. So 48 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: even though Hillis is back, just like you said, he's 49 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: no better than a flex starter, and a desperation flex 50 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: starter at that, because the matchup is really tough. Yeah, 51 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: here's why I kind of look at Hardest. He is 52 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: maybe someone for later on and when Elliott you talk 53 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: a lot about fantasy versus reality. The reality is, even 54 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: though he didn't produce on the field, Sherman is very 55 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: excited that Hardest he didn't turn the ball over. They 56 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: really will control the clock with him. He didn't drop 57 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: passes out of the backfield. So if you do that, 58 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna keep getting those opportunities. It just sounds to 59 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: me every time they talk about Peyton Hillis in Cleveland's well, 60 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: when he comes back, we have this You could tell 61 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: the stock is going down on Peyton Hill is so hardest. 62 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: He's a guy, he's gonna be worth that likes play. 63 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: Although I grew with Fats, this week is kind of 64 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: a tough one. Yeah. If you heard the sense of 65 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: resignation and Fab's voice, I completely concur with it. And 66 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: I think if I had to put one word to 67 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: both Hardesty and hillis would be underwhelming. And you know, 68 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: on Friday's NFL Fantasy Live, I told Damna Check and 69 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: Money that Money Smith that the only thing that that 70 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: I liked or disliked more than they disliked my full 71 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: beard was the pre anointing of Montario Hardesty is this 72 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: great play, you know with based on what he hasn't 73 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: shown me much? I mean, what has he shown you 74 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: the same thing with no Sean Marino? What is no 75 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: Sean Marino ever shown you to engender confidence? And Fab's 76 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: reference the workload thirty three carries? Hey man, that's great, 77 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: but what did you do with those thirty three carries? 78 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: Not much, by the way, just some numbers here on 79 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: the Browns rushing attack ninety one point five yards per game. 80 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: That's twenty nine in the NFL. Oh by the way, 81 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: there's only thirty two teams in the league, but they're 82 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: making up for it by averaging three point three yards 83 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: at It's it's not good offensive line. Uh. The two 84 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: backs involved Hillisen Hardisty and hey, guys, can we now 85 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: agree that the Madden curses real Every every year it gets, 86 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: it gets somebody. It didn't get Larry Fitzgerald, but it 87 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: got Troy Palamala when they're both players on there. And 88 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: I'll tell you something that that curse a lot of 89 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: people make fun of it. It's gotten a lot of guys, 90 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: and it probably would have helped a lot of people, 91 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: uh not lose so much sleep over their fantasy team 92 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: if they had avoided Sean, Alexander Eddie, George Marshall, Fox, 93 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: Michael Vick. The list goes on and on. It's it's unbelievable. 94 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: I'll tell you one guy you ready for this, is 95 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: that in two thousand three, I forget who it was 96 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: was supposed to be. It was was on the cover 97 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: up was Michael Vick maybe and he got hurt and 98 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: he missed the first six weeks. But they knew it 99 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: well ahead of time, so they were gonna put Chad 100 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: Pennington on the cover, and they had it all set 101 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: to go shoot Pennington like a week or two later, 102 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: and that's when he That's when he jacked up his 103 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: shoulder and he missed the first seven weeks of the season. 104 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: So here's a guy that wasn't even photographed for it, 105 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: and he was gonna be on I thought you were 106 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: gonna say William Green was supposed to be on the cover. 107 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: Now it wasn't. There wasn't there a story about Barry 108 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: Sanders to where he was gonna be on the cover, 109 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: and then he decided to retire and instead they went 110 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: with Dorsey Levins. I'm pretty sure that happened to sticking 111 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: on the topics of running backs. Uh, mark Ingram didn't 112 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: practice today, and if mark Ingraham can't play this week. 113 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: Even if he can't play, I'm telling you right now, 114 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: if you own Darren Sprowls and he's not in your 115 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: starting lineup, you should quit fantasy football. This guy has 116 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: been phenomenal. Now, this is a player who was drafted 117 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: in most leagues late in standard leagues, maybe not at 118 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: all in PPR. He was certainly a middle round to 119 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: late run pick. But he is in the top fifteen 120 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: and Fantasy points among running backs. He's averaging touch is 121 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: he's got He's unbelievable, Like this is what Reggie Busch 122 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: was supposed to be in the Saints offense, but because 123 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: he was really never that good. Darren Sprowls is showing 124 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: what Sean Payton would have had in store for Reggie 125 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: Bush had he been able to stay out of the 126 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: trainer's room. Darren Sprowls is a start a week for 127 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: me on NFL dot com. I start him and said 128 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: him column against an awful Rams defense that made Marco 129 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: Murray looked like the second coming of Pick your Cowboys 130 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: running back Tony Dorsy, said Emmett Smith. All the greats 131 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: herschell Walker. Oh sorry, hey, you know what herschel Walker 132 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: is the reason that Cowboys won some Super bowls'sah, he 133 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: did it while playing for So that's big news. So 134 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: your point on Sprowls, you know we're not you're talking 135 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: about regular run of the mill NFL dot com scoring. 136 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: You're not even talking PPR or getting credit for return yards. 137 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: If you've got credit for return yards and PPR, remember 138 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: you had the return against the Packers opening night. Sprawls 139 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: is a month and because because you asked you shall receive. 140 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,799 Speaker 1: I actually run two or three of my league's where 141 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: that is the scoring system where you get return yards 142 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: and touchdowns for the players, not for the defense and 143 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,679 Speaker 1: the special teams. And right now, Darren Sprowls is seventh 144 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: in Fantasy points overall. Okay, Drew Brees a hundred and 145 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: six and two points. Sprowls is a hundred and fifty six. 146 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: He's awesome, and he's five sixty. I'm taller than he is, 147 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: and you can't say that about it many people. I 148 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: can say that about answers to Ciliana, and I'm almost 149 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: as tall as you, Harrison. It's not as good looking. 150 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Michael Fabriano, Elliot Harrison, we are all vertically 151 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: challenged here. The numbers three to six A two, that's 152 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: eighty eight XM fantasy all your big fantasy injury headlines. 153 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: Making way for Heath Evans in a couple of minutes, 154 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: but other injury news that I don't think his injury 155 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: news because he seems to be saying this all the time. 156 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: Beanie Wells, who was supposed to be out for the 157 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks with an injury. Alfonso Smith has 158 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: been a big pick up this week, and well, I 159 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: don't like the matchup for Alfonso Smith this week. Moving 160 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: forward with Wells as injury history, surely he's worth having 161 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: on your team. Don't call me Shirley Beanie. Wells says 162 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: again he expects to play on Sunday. Well, I mean, well, 163 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: nobody else says he's gonna play, right. The air's on 164 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: a republic. He's actually saying that he's not going to play. 165 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: But you can't. You can't listen to players. Know, it's 166 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: just fun to talk fantasy with players and talk about 167 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,679 Speaker 1: the game and talk about You can't listen to players. 168 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: They're always going to tell you what And we learned 169 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: that first ten two weeks ago when Tim hi Tower 170 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: on NFL Fantasy Live when asked who would you start? 171 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: You are Ryan Turraine, he said to start me and 172 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: he didn't play a snap. Can't trust players, You can't 173 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: do it. You really can't. Hey, one other guy real 174 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: quick is Matthew Stafford, who didn't practice. Sean Hill is 175 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: running with the first team. Eric Hipple is running with 176 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: the third team. Stafford is a guy who has not 177 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: been playing well lately. Still playing well, but not as 178 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: well as he has The first five weeks of the season, 179 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: Denver gets after the quarterback this week, Elliott, how concerned 180 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: do you if he plays Matthew Stafford's production might not 181 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: be Matthew Stafford. Well, I just started to look over 182 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: at Fabs kind of like, hey, is it okay if 183 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: I take this one? Kind of like in Rocky four 184 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: when when Apollo was supposed to you know, he's getting introduced, 185 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: and then finally they want to introduce Rocky, So Rocky 186 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: like looks at him. He's like, hey, is it okay 187 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: if I you know, if I get my applause, you 188 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: know what I mean. I'm just I don't know if 189 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: how many nicknames you got anyway? Oh yeah, yeah, the 190 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: Count of Monty Fist. I just just reminded me of 191 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: that scene. But uh, listen, the Lions have got a 192 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: serious problem brewing, I think, and it's not Stafford's play. 193 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: I appreciate your point that that his numbers have been down, 194 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: he hasn't been playing as well, but you have to 195 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: run the ball at some point. You just have to. 196 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: I mean, the NFL has been around since nine, and 197 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: the running game, as much as it's been de emphasized, 198 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: you can't de emphasize it as much as the Lions 199 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: have their thirtieth in the NFL in rush pass ratio. 200 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: On second down, they passed the ball more than any 201 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: team in the league. On third and one through three, 202 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: which is oh, by the way, short yardage, they still 203 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: pass the ball seventy six percent of the time on 204 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: third through fourth. The third down and four through third 205 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: down and six they passed the ball ninety six point 206 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: five percent of the time. Do you think you could 207 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: run a draw in there somewhere? I mean, just anything 208 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: to take the game off of your quarterback shoulders. I 209 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: know job at best is hurt, but they weren't running 210 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: the ball when job at best wasn't there. Well, I'm 211 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: not afraid of Stafford if he plays this week against 212 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: the Broncos, who have allowed the second most fantasy points 213 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: to quarterbacks. I'm starting to Afford all day long. It's 214 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: the ankle that worries me. Yeah, I think Stafford. I 215 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: think this is just another case where the the Lions 216 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: are in a bad rut right now, and it wouldn't 217 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if he had if he had 218 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: a three pick day on Sunday, just because of where 219 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: the offense is going. They seem to figure out what 220 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: what the Lions like to do. I could see Stafford 221 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: three picks. You're ready for that minus three your minus 222 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: six depending on your league. But one thing to your point, 223 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: you're worried about his ankle. What I'm saying is this 224 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: is going to be a concern every week if they 225 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: continue to put the game on his shoulders and they're 226 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: posing pass rushers. Don't ever have to worry about, you know, 227 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: a draw play or a trap or anything like that. 228 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: They're just meeting at the quarterback and you know, yeah, no, 229 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: I agree with you. Maybe the best thing to do 230 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: Bush re Lions and fantasy owners let him sit out 231 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: this week. Then the Lions, I believe he're on a 232 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: by then he has a few weeks to heal and 233 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: Sean Hill will be a sleeper this week. If Stafford 234 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: can't play, why not? Where does he? If? If no, 235 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, where do you have him? Where do you 236 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: think you would have him ranked? Sean quarterbacks? Yeah, I'd 237 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: probably have him ranked right around fourteen, right in that 238 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: area and maybe just ahead John Beck, who has a 239 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: good matchup this week. Six teams on a buy uh not? 240 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: A lot of great quarterbacks at the end of that 241 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: position either right now, so it's NFL Fantasy Live Jason 242 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: Smith along with Senior Fantasy Editor Michael Fabiano, NFL dot 243 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: Com analyst Elliot Harrison Series two ten XM eight seven. 244 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: Coming up next, the fantasy value of Terall Owens and no, 245 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of Peyton Manning teo works out. 246 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: No teams attend?

I'm like, Hey, Drew, listen, 259 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pray for you next week if you 260 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: don't throw me the ball in this down. So he 261 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: never took me serious, and I was dead serious. You 262 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: know he's uh. You and I are actually were together 263 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 1: yesterday in the NFL Network studios watching t O S 264 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: workout and you know you're a player who also suffered 265 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: it to an a c L. What did you see 266 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: in that workout from t O positive or negative? And 267 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: do you think he can come back and make a 268 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: fantasy impact this year, meaning put up yards touchdowns as 269 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: long as he's actually on the field. Well, you know, 270 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: if I'm gonna put my doctor head on, I'd say 271 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: he's still probably six weeks away or so. Here's the 272 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: negative side. I saw a lot of fatigue, which you 273 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: know yesterday we had him on t a UM. You know, 274 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: he just said, hey, no, I feel good and all that. 275 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: But here's the bottom line of an a c L rehab. 276 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: Um At the end of that rehab, where supposedly he is, 277 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: you're in the best shape of your life. I mean, 278 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: you're pushing three thousand yards of conditioning every single day, 279 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: so you're a football route running ability in the football 280 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: conditioning aspect. I mean, I didn't even think about that 281 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: aspect at the end of my rehab process, just because 282 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: they're trying to overload that in every single day, and 283 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: so I almost think, man, he's kind of gotten ahead 284 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: of the curve, and maybe the foundation on this knee 285 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: through all the work that he's done might not be 286 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: as stable as he thinks it is, because the conditioning 287 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: should have been better yesterday. You know, he this is Elliott. 288 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: I wasn't with you at the NFL Network studio yesterday, 289 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: but I see in the hallway from time to time 290 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: and everyone refers to as a former Patriot, and it's 291 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: a former Saint, and it's a former Seahawk. Even did 292 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: some time with the Dolphins. What do you mean do 293 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: you prefer to be, you know, linked up with one 294 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 1: franchise over the other, especially having played for both the 295 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: Saints and the Patriots. Yeah, definitely those two. My my 296 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: four years in Seattle with Michael, I'm when we're a struggle. 297 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't allowed to do the things I 298 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: was great at Um. I was always knocked for not 299 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 1: being a bulldozer of a fullback. And then you know, 300 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: I get to New England and Bill says, hey, listen, 301 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: we love who you are as a blocker. You don't 302 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: miss blocks, you're consistent, and he just allowed me to 303 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: be everything that I was. They threw me the ball, 304 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: they allowed me to play tailback. I played special teams, 305 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: and then obviously coach Peyton and Mickey Loomis saw that, 306 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: and after the O eight season and said, hey, what's 307 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: it gonna take to get you down or New Orleans 308 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: would down there? We won a super Bowl, and then 309 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: they just continued to allow me to be the athletic 310 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: fullback that makes blocks. But listen, I'm not Vonta Leach. 311 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: I never was and never really wanted to be. I 312 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: wanted to be the guy that could kind of do 313 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: it all. Well. I wanna keep you right there with 314 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: the Mike Holmgren area era, because when you're in Seattle, 315 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: obviously Sean Alexander was there, and even Ricky Waters when 316 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: you first got there, you don't see backs getting twenty 317 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: five carries a game like those guys used to get. 318 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: What do you attribute that to him? Because in fantasy 319 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: football it affects everyone. It's it's constantly this running back 320 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: by committee and you never know who to start what 321 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: do I attribute it to stupid coaching. You know, it's 322 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: this game. No one's reinventing the wheel, even though a 323 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: lot of people are trying. I mean, I even think 324 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: in oh nine, when we were as successful as ever 325 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: in New Orleans, we were running the ball a whole bunch. 326 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: And yeah it was still by committee, but there were 327 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: some streaks there where Peter Thomas was just getting off 328 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: and he was getting that you know, fifteen to twenty 329 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: workload where you knew, hey, listen, he's gonna get two 330 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: or three screens, he's gonna catch the ball out of 331 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: the back foot a few more times, and then he's 332 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: gonna get probably fifteen plus touches. So you knew this 333 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: is your guy to start weekend and week out. You know, 334 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: the teams that do it well, the teams that have 335 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: had success winn in Super Bowls, Um, they either know 336 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: how to run the ball or they just run the 337 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: ball a lot just to say that they do. And 338 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: so even back to the Patriot days, those three Super Bowls, 339 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: they were an I pro style offense and they ran 340 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: the football. Hey, he's another guy making news. It's it's weird. 341 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: Middle of the week. We're talking about inactive players making 342 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: all the news. Besides, we see the report that Peyton 343 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: Manning could come back the end of this year. Uh. 344 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: You know, Bill Polian said, hey, you know, maybe the 345 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: last few days and maybe the last few games, and 346 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: his reports he's gonna start running soon. Peyton trying to 347 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: come back from this neck injury. What do you think 348 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: the reality is as far as when he returns to 349 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: the football field. Well, we've talked about it over and 350 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: over again. Nerves are funny, But this is Peyton Manning. 351 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of like with t O. If anybody can 352 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: come back from the a c of injury, it's this 353 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: guy's workout warrior, takes just phenomenal care of his body. Well, 354 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: with Peyton, you know, he's got the best of everything 355 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: around him. You know. I spent a little time with 356 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: the Manning family, uh this weekend back in New Orleans, 357 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: and they were encouraged about where he's at. You know, 358 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: so listen to Peyton is gonna make the best decision 359 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: for himself and that football team. The one thing about Peyton, 360 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: if he does get back on the field, he immediately 361 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: makes that team better. I will say this, this team 362 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: with Peyton or without Peyton was not a playoff team 363 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: this year. So if you were the Colts, he um 364 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: and you were clearly not making the postseason, would your 365 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: risk bringing back Peyton Manning this year or just let 366 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: him get completely healthy and then bring him back next year? 367 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: Because that's a lot of there's a lot of fantasy 368 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: owners out there who see Peyton Manning on the waiter 369 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: wide and they're thinking, you know, should I should I 370 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: pick him up? Because is he gonna come back this year? 371 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: But to me, why would you bring a guy back 372 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: when the season has clearly been lost already? Well, I 373 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: think it solely depends on you know, do you do 374 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: you want to be in those Andrew Luck sweepstakes? You know, 375 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: And that's the question that you know, you got to say, Hey, 376 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: what does Bill pollians think about bringing in your number 377 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: one overall pick to sit behind Manning? Who's a guy 378 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: that's not going to give it up for another what 379 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: four or five maybe six years? This is a guy 380 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: that takes care of himself that barring the nerve issue 381 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: healing properly, he's gonna be there. He's a quarterback that 382 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: doesn't take kids. He always gets rid of the ball. 383 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: So my thoughts are Hey, Bill Pollian says, hey, listen, 384 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: we want this guy for you to groom them, or 385 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: let's put Manning in because we know we're gonna go 386 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: steal a couple of wins at the end of the year. 387 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: If he's behind center, they're gonna beat some teams that 388 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: otherwise they wouldn't love without him. You know what I 389 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 1: was thinking of he than I think it comes down 390 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: to this. Don't they have to make a decision on 391 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: giving him like twenty eight million dollars before uh next 392 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: season begins. I think they want to know that. Okay, 393 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: whatever direction we go, we see him play for a 394 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: little bit, then we can make that big money decision 395 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: in the offseason, not go in with potentially, boy, we 396 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: got Peyton Manning and then we have Andrew Lucky. We 397 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: don't know what to do. I think that's why the 398 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,719 Speaker 1: cults are pushing this, because they want to see him 399 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: on the field if he can. I think there's an 400 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: aspect of that too. But the one thing that a 401 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: nerve doesn't affect is this guy's brain. And his brain 402 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: and yes, his arm, but it's his rain that makes 403 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: some Peyton Manning. It's no different than breathe and Brady 404 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: and now Rogers, they're separated because of their ability, uh 405 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: to approach the game in a cerebral manner where they're 406 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: just better than everybody else. So they can see the 407 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: nerve issues in March. They can see the arm strength, 408 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: they can see accuracy, they can see ball control, they 409 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: can see all that in March. I just think that 410 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: they ultimately do they care about being all in sixteen 411 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: and being in the position to to take Andrew Luck 412 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: and so I don't know, there's so many if fans 413 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: are butts which way this could spend. But I think 414 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: if he's healthy, get him out there. It's Peyton Manning 415 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: is gonna energize your crowd and kind of breathe some 416 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: fresh air into you for the next season. Well, he's 417 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: even a great addition to the network this year. You've 418 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: done some great work on a T L and T A. 419 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: But I gotta take you to task on something. I 420 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: remember the preseason Bob Kraft kind of handed around that 421 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: maybe you should still be suiting up, and I just 422 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: wanted you to turn around and say it, Well, I 423 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: wanted you to turn around and say I'll suit up 424 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: when you guys go back to the pat Patriot uniform. Listen, 425 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: I'm telling you those I the throwbacks. Um, I love 426 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: if Beth Ann and I the time we missed there 427 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: being in New Orleans, they got to wear those uniforms 428 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: a few times. And I'm telling you the truth, I 429 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: was definitely envious and jealous for sure. Well, if we're 430 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: gonna have to watch the running back by Committee with 431 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: Stephen Ridley and Danny Woodhead and Mit Jarvis Greenhouse, they 432 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: can at least, you know, give us cool unis to 433 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: kill our fantasy teams with. I understand, Hey, Bill is 434 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: so old school. I'm not sure how they ever got 435 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: him in the throwback to begin with him, and he 436 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: just he wants a few distractions as possible. He could 437 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: care what colored jerseys or pants they're in, or what 438 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: the helmets look like. He just wants his boy's mind 439 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: focused on the game. So Brady must have wanted those throwbacks, 440 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: and that's the only way they got him. All right, 441 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: he's real quick. Let me let me take you back 442 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: to the Saints here for a couple of seconds, because 443 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: Drew Brees spreads the ball around, as you know to everybody, 444 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: and and when you take a look now the pecking 445 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: order for Breeze now seems to be Graham, Colston, Aaron Sprawls. 446 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: Agree or disagree with that, Yeah, I think you hit 447 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: the nail on the head, you know. Um, And it's 448 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: not people always want to say, oh, who's Breeze comfortable with? 449 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: He is comfortable with all those guys. There's not a 450 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: receiving corps a quarterback that outworks these guys. I mean 451 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: before practice, post practice, and and let me cool you 452 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: in on something. I mean, Sean Payton runs a marathon practice, 453 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: and so these guys are out on the field Wednesday 454 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: Thursday probably three and a half hours because practice goes 455 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: for two forty five and then they stay post practice 456 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: and work on every route we have. And so it's 457 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: not a comfortability factor. It's just play designed by Sean 458 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: and Drew and then just where they want to go 459 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: with the ball. And obviously, you guys know, kind of 460 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: like Green Bay, you've got to pick your poison of 461 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: who you allow to be open. And with Jimmy Graham, 462 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: I mean he's six six to seventy. I mean, listen, 463 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: you better pass interfering or most of the time he's 464 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,239 Speaker 1: going to get his hands on the ball. All right, 465 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: Heath Evans, appreciate your time with us here in NFL 466 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: Fantasy Live. Will see in the hallways. All right, But 467 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: if you guys, let's go back real quick to Teayton 468 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: Manning and talking about how he expects him to come back. 469 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: If my backup situation is not great, or if I'm 470 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: an illegue where I have three quarterbacks it doesn't hurt me. 471 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,239 Speaker 1: I'll go out and get Peyton Manning now, because now 472 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: we got news about him now, So now someone's gonna 473 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: eventually do it in your league. Why not go out 474 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: and do it. If we're talking about taking a chance 475 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: on t O, why not go grab Peyton Manning. You 476 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: have a dead spot on your bench, most likely you 477 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: go put or you have an injured spot. You can 478 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: put him on. If you have dead weight on your roster. Absolutely, 479 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: I'm still not convinced that he's gonna be coming back 480 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: this year, but it's a smart move. It could make 481 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: you look like a genius at the end of the season. 482 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: Remember a few years ago when everyone had basically written 483 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner off. He wasn't injured, but it didn't look 484 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: like you would even play. I saw some people stashed 485 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: him on his bench. When Matt Liner went down the tubes. 486 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner was a fantasy superstar. So it's a different scenario, 487 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: but the same kind of deal in that you pick 488 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: up a guy and you kind of see what happens. 489 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: I remember that Matt Matt Lener woke up and realized 490 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: he was Matt Liner. Right, Yeah, definitely. You spend more 491 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: time in the hot tub with cos and you do 492 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: study in your playbook. Well, you're gonna get replaced by 493 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner, But how do you guys feel about, you know, 494 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: if he gets activated late in the season. Now you're 495 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: talking about playoff time and Fantasy. I mean, do you 496 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: really want to risk your playoff game on Peyton Manning. 497 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: We'll look at it this way. For the first game, 498 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: I won't play Peyton because I'll you know, if I'm 499 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: going to say I'm playing Tim Tebow or Peyton Manning, 500 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: I'll stay with Tebow. I'll stay with who's there. But 501 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: if he shows me in one game he can go 502 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: for three twenty and throw a couple of touchdowns and suddenly, 503 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: you know, distribute the ball. Yeah, I'd play him the 504 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: next week, but I gotta give him a week. It's 505 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: very interesting. It's very interesting. And uh, if you do 506 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: have a number two quarterback that's less than stellar and 507 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: your number one quarterback is pretty good, maybe like a 508 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: Cam Newton, and you want to dump that number two 509 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: guy once Newton's bye week is over. Don't have a 510 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: problem with it. Six three to six A two eight 511 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: nine six three to six A two. It's NFL Fantasy Live. 512 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano, and Elliott Harrison from the NFL Network. 513 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: Let's go to Rob. Who's got a trade question? Rob, 514 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: You're on NFL Fantasy Live. Pretty good, Rob? What Hey? 515 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: So I got offered a trade from a guy in 516 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: my league. He's willing to give me Tom Brady for 517 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy. Um, but I've got Big Ben is my 518 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: is my quarterback, and I think he's gonna have a 519 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,239 Speaker 1: pretty successful second half of the season. Um, who are 520 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: you going? Um? I got Forte and Chris Johnson are 521 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: my other ones. Man. I like Roethlisberger. You know. Roethlisberger 522 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: is a guy that I touted even last year when 523 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: he was going to be out for the first four 524 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: weeks and said pick him up somewhere in the middle 525 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: of eight rounds because you're gonna get a steal. And 526 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: he started off slowly, but he has been a beast 527 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: that he's averaging over twenty Fantasy points over his last 528 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: two or three games. He's been phenomenal. And I know 529 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: it would be nice to have Tom Brady on your 530 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: fantasy team. But if Chris Johnson was doing what Chris 531 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: Johnson normally does, I might say, yeah, do this deal. 532 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: But Chris Johnson has been on your bench, horrible, in 533 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: your in your starting lineup, and McCoy is a star. 534 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: Not to mention. If Chris Johnson turns it on and 535 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: you hold on to McCoy, now you have a killer 536 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: flex play. But that that's the thing are you getting? 537 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: Are you gonna wind up getting that much more out 538 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: of Brady? That means you're because so if you're the 539 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: difference between Brady and Roethlisberger, Okay, it's a difference, you'd 540 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: rather have Brady, But the difference between McCoy and Chris Johnson, 541 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: it's you know, you can't even compare. Can you believe 542 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: that we're saying that? I mean that this situation proves 543 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: be on a shadow of doubt, how unpredictable the national 544 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: Football League and fantasy football can be. And we sit 545 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: here every day, and I've been doing this for almost 546 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: twelve years, trying to figure out what's gonna happen, sort 547 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 1: of predicting the future. And the fact that Chris Johnson, 548 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 1: Chris Johnson, the guy who is the consensus number one 549 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,239 Speaker 1: overall pick and fantasy drafts just a year ago, is 550 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: this bad. It's amazing. I would have never believed this 551 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: if somebody told me in the preseason that he would 552 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: be this bad after seven weeks, even with the hold out. 553 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: As Sherwood help out a lot, though, if they had 554 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: a healthy Kenny Britt to loosen up defenses. But they don't, 555 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: and they don't have that reliable vertical threat. So if 556 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,239 Speaker 1: you're a defense and you're playing the Titans, you can 557 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: just walk your safety up there in that box, and 558 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: having that extra guy, especially if he's a good tackler, 559 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: makes all the difference in the world. Right But you 560 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: had a healthy Kenny Britt for the first couple of 561 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: weeks and still Christian I mean, he was rounding in 562 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: the shape, but still he wasn't. I think a lot 563 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: of that had to do with the hold out. Right now, 564 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: right now, whether he's in shape or not. Only he knows, 565 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: and only that that staff knows. But they're having problems offensively. 566 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: And if you're a defensive coordinator, you're not worried about 567 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: anyone burning you deep on that team. Nate Washington, I've 568 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: tried to stick with the guy in Nate Washington really 569 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: hasn't done a lot. Chris Johnson is just not making plays. 570 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: He's not making plays, And you worry as a fantasy 571 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: owner and as as a Titans fan, if you're a 572 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 1: Titans fan, did CJ get paid? And now he's sort 573 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: of tanking it a little bit? You know c J 574 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: has any confidence, any uh, any real heart. He'll start 575 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: turning things around and prove the NASA air is wrong, 576 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: because he's been terrible for seven weeks. And I will 577 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: play him this week against the Cults. I would. If 578 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 1: he doesn't come through with the game this week, then 579 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: he becomes a guy where I'll play Jackie Battle over 580 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. I'll play a lot of guys over Chris Johns. 581 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: You can't do it against the Cults, are gonna do 582 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: it against I mean, and the Cults are just just terrible. 583 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: So and Chris Johnson's got a very favorable schedule over 584 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 1: the last nine weeks of the season. Right weeks, He's 585 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: got some really good matchups teams that can't stop the run, 586 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: including the Colts. I believe he has the Colts two 587 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: more times, right, so he if it's now or never 588 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: for for c J two gay, we start him this week. 589 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: One interesting thing, just to wrap this conversation up on 590 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: c J, is that we haven't really discussed the possibility 591 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: that he could be hiding an injury. I remember and 592 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 1: Ittt Smith went for seventeen seventy that year. The next 593 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: year he went for I think twelve o four, and 594 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: everyone was like, what's wrong with him? And what's wrong 595 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: with him? And and you know, they were concealing that 596 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: he was pretty banged up. And it's very possible, I mean, 597 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: without any other better explanation for how this guy is. 598 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: It doesn't look like he has that burst that he 599 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: normally has. He looks like he dances a little bit 600 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: too much when he gets close to the line. I 601 00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: don't want to say, it's like almost like he doesn't 602 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: want to get it, but he kind of has that 603 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: bit of he doesn't have that burst getting around guys like, 604 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: is it me or is Emmett the only guy at 605 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: the running back position that held out that actually did 606 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: something that year? Yeah? He won, he did something. One 607 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 1: League MVP, super Bowl MVP. That's what I'm saying, right, 608 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: But I mean, you're talking about Stephen Jackson, talking about 609 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: Larry Johnson. Although Larry Johnson's could be attributed to the 610 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: four sixte and Carries had I believe it was in 611 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: two thousand and six, wasn't. But this is unbelievable. C 612 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: J has done nothing. Yeah, Emmett hole held out the 613 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: first two games regular season, much less training camp. Came 614 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: back in week three, they didn't start him until the 615 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: second half, and then we who are the Cowboys rolling 616 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: with Sherman Williams that year? No, Derek Lassic thinks that's right. 617 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: Every time you say Emmett, you say it like Barry 618 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: Switch and you see Emmett.

I go with Gore over m J d 651 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: a right back at wide receiver. You need two of those. 652 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how to heck you sit Mike Wallace. 653 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy has been phenomenal. The thing Colston 654 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: and Smith, I mean, that's a tough call right now. 655 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: Colston has been just lights out and going up against 656 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: the Rams, that is a really, really tough call. I 657 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: probably go Smith because he's been better for an extended 658 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: part of the season. He means, outside of maybe one 659 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: or two games, he's been phenomenal. But he can flex call. 660 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: But you can flex Colston so and typically you like 661 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: to flex the running back Maurice Jones Drew Jones Drew 662 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: hasn't been that great this year. He's been Okay, he 663 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: had been great um big night Monday, though, it's a 664 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: defense that we didn't think he was gonna have a 665 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: big fantasy points. He fumbled three times well outside, but 666 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: he still was able to have a bit of more 667 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: production than we thought. Well eight fantasy points isn't that great? 668 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: More than any thought? So I like Colston in the 669 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: flex spot there, Well, Dustin, I think what you should 670 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: be getting from this is the biggest no brainer is 671 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: go ahead and sit Brandon Marshall on the pine on 672 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: the road against the Giant. And another thing you should 673 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: do is try to make a trade. I would maybe 674 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: package Jones, Drew and Marshall and get an even better 675 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: running back or an even better wide receiver. I love 676 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: making those kind of trades, you know. You know, it's 677 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: funny how people still call. We still get text and 678 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: emails and get tweets. We'll get to Fabriano's Michael Fabriano's 679 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: quarterback starts this week and a second. Hear John Beck 680 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: a couple of seconds ago. But how many people still 681 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: tweeting emailing. I have running backs to choose from, and 682 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: Fred Jackson is one of them. Like, what dude, what 683 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: are you doing? I mean It's like, yeah, he's the 684 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,479 Speaker 1: number one running back in fantasy football. You know you 685 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: have to play it. He's But still every week will 686 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: say do I play Fred Jackson or Frank Gore. I'm like, 687 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: are you did? You did? Pod? People taking over here 688 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: speaking of great running backs. Should we be concerned about 689 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson? Yeah? Peterson missed practice on Wednesday. And if 690 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: you're smart and you have the roster space and you 691 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: have a D, go get Toby Gerhardt, uh and handcuff 692 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: a d great matchup to speak against the Panthers, who 693 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: have a lot more fantasy points of running backs than 694 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: any other team in the National Football League. Peterson is 695 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: normally a gamer. I'd be surprised if you didn't play, 696 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: But you have to make sure you have that insurance. 697 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: We talk about the handcuff all the time and people 698 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: some some people say, oh, the handcuff is overrated. Really, 699 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: you see all the running backs that I've gotten hurt 700 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: this year, and if you didn't handcuff him, you're you're 701 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: in trouble, big trouble if you can't get him off 702 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: the waiver wire. And I would trust that they would 703 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: use Toby Gerhard inside the five and when your handcuff, 704 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: that's what you're looking for, because hey, yeah, does a 705 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: guy get you thirty eight yards rushing in twelve yards 706 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: are saving? Yeah, there's five fantasy points. But if he 707 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: gets a goal on work, you tack a touchdown and 708 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: now you're getting eleven points out of your handcuff, which 709 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: in a bye week is not bad production does NFL 710 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: Fantasy Live Series two ten x M eight seven Michael 711 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: Fabriano third week in a row ranked number one as 712 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: the expert with the best starts. They're closing in on 713 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: me to cross the country. Well, when you're number one, 714 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: everybody's shooting at you. They're closing in on me. Yeah, 715 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: still number one for the third week in a row 716 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: as far as experts go across the country. So give 717 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: me some big quarterback and starts for you this. You 718 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: know said you're gonna let me drive the car for 719 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: this segment, So let me. Can I t Michael Fabiano 720 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,959 Speaker 1: up on this? Do you actually have a T? Do 721 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: I need to get you guys, you know and put 722 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: you in the corner. You need a time out, both 723 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: of you? Hey febs, Yeah, so everything did? Jason just 724 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: said go ahead? Okay, clearly he's not the best color 725 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: man in the business or anything. Uh. Yeah, okay, can 726 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: I get into this now? Go guys, please jeez, like 727 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: with a couple of one year olds. All right, Matthew Stafford. Uh, 728 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: you have to keep tabs on the status. I know 729 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: he had a bad game last week and like him 730 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: against the b goes. What's up? He's in Denver? In Denver, Uh, 731 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: facing the Broncos. They have a lot of the second 732 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: most fantasy points of quarterbacks if he's active. I play 733 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: him bad a week last week, but really it was 734 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: his first bad week all year. Ben Roethlisberg against the Patriots. 735 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: The Patriots have really not been good in terms of 736 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: passing a past defense, and Roethlisberger has been on fire, 737 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: averaging around twenty two fantasy points over his last three games. 738 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: I also like Eli Manning. Look at the match up 739 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, who Tim Tebow put up twenty three 740 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: fantasy points against last week. Eli is on pace to 741 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: have his best fantasy season. He's already thrown for close 742 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: to yards twelve total touchdowns. Uh, and the Dolphins have 743 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: a lot more fantasy points to quarterbacks than any team 744 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Joe Flacco looked bad Monday night, 745 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: and that's probably an understatement. That's the third game time 746 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: this year he has looked. You know what, he's a 747 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: better quarterback at home. They're playing the Cardinals. Uh. They're 748 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: giving up an average of right around twenty fantasy points 749 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: a game the quarterbacks. So yes, Joe Flaccos stunk and 750 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: probably cost you a win last week. But if he 751 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: is your guy, I stick with him. Uh. Elliot Harrison's guy, 752 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbeck. He's been toast the last couple of weeks, 753 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: his last couple of starts, thank you for that, averaging 754 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: about eight fantasy points per game after a very good 755 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: start to this season. But I like him against the 756 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: Colts as a matchup based starter. Uh. Spots start the 757 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: culture allowing about nineteen fasy points per game and deep leagues, 758 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: and I've got to start this guy in one of 759 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: my league's John Beck. Uh. And you may laugh and 760 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: scoff at John Beck. He scored almost nineteen almost nineteen 761 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: fanasy points last week, and he's playing the Bills in Toronto, 762 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: and they allow an average of eighteen fantasy points per 763 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: week to quarterback, So you could do worse. I like 764 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,760 Speaker 1: Beck over Christian Ponder. I like everybody over blaming Gabbrat. 765 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 1: I like him more than Curtis Painter. I like him 766 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: over a cult McCoy. Guys like that. If you need 767 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: that one week spots start Like I have Aaron Rodgers 768 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: on that team, He's off this week. I don't have 769 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: another quarterback at my roster, so I'm going with Beck. 770 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: I like the Beck pick, and I think that's the 771 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: most interesting of the group. And uh, you know, you 772 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: look at Buffalo's past defense, their thirtieth in the NFL, 773 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,720 Speaker 1: so it's we always talk about matchups. Yes, the Bills 774 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: are having a nice season, Jason, but that doesn't mean 775 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 1: their defenses playing lights out. Several quarterbacks this year put 776 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: up huge fantasy numbers against them. Yeah. You know, the 777 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: only thing worse on their past defense, what's that they're 778 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 1: rush defense. They're giving up a hundred and seventy yards 779 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: a game on the ground. Watch out for Ryan Terrain 780 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: and Roy Healou. Yeah, the Bills are one of those 781 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: teams where we think they're great, But yeah, you play 782 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: everybody and the kitchen sink against these guys. You know, 783 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: Fabbs brought up Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger, And there 784 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: was a couple of weeks up until last week. I 785 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: would say where those you get outside of like the 786 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: top five, top six quarterbacks where it was a dice 787 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: role and you were playing matchups and you were playing guys. Boy, 788 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, Do I play Rex Grossman this week? 789 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 1: Do I play Ryan Fitzpatrick this week? Now, at least 790 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: Eli and Roethlisberger seemed to be two guys that are 791 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: settling into those Okay, I'm gonna play these guys every 792 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: week because both of these offenses now are morphing towards 793 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: being quarterback centric. We saw it last year with the 794 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: with the Giants. Eli's having the same year this year, 795 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,399 Speaker 1: except he's not throwing the picks, which is great for Eli. Roethlisberger. 796 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,280 Speaker 1: It's almost like a carbon copy of what he electrics 797 00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: that he actually played in the first four games. The 798 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: Steelers can't run the football, Richard meant at all. You 799 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: couldn't run against the Cardinals. Who do you run against? 800 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: This is gonna be Roethlisberger's team. He's gonna wind up 801 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: being that must start, must start now. I think as 802 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 1: a season goes on, not just a guy. Okay, he's 803 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: there for me. But he's gonna be a must start. 804 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: But when you talk about it being a roll of 805 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: the dice, maybe like a twenty side of dice from 806 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: the old Dungeons and Dragons days. Because the closeness of 807 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 1: six through twenty was unbelievable the first couple of weeks. 808 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you had guys coming out of nowhere, Rex 809 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 1: Grossman having great weeks. We've seen some of that dissipate 810 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: this weekend. There were only three yard passers. Uh, you're 811 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 1: not seeing the guys put up the giant numbers like 812 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: they did in week two. In week three that said, 813 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: I agree with Fabs. Listen, if you don't have a 814 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: great option, roll with John Beck. I like it. That's tough, man. 815 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: I I still like I like Ponder over back just 816 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,479 Speaker 1: because I think it's gonna be another week of street ball. 817 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: It's gonna be. I like the matchup against the Carolina Panthers, 818 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: and I think he can get outside the pocket, keep 819 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 1: plays alive, and complete passes down field. That's that's really 820 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: what he did week one. He wasn't very accurate, but 821 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,720 Speaker 1: he threw the ball really well downfield. He wasn't afraid. 822 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,720 Speaker 1: Reminded me a Cam Newton, there were I'm not afraid 823 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: to go downfield, not afraid to go out and make plays. 824 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: Ponder is that is he's a He's a high risk, 825 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: high reward guy, and I like the matchup this week 826 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: to give me a higher The reason I don't like 827 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: Ponders because and again, let's assume Ajan Peterson plays, He's 828 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: gonna carry it twenty five times. The Panthers can't stop 829 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: the run to save their lives. Their past defense isn't bad, 830 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: So opportunities going to be the problem with Ponder. Well, 831 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: let's let's so you say so, you say ponder over 832 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: John Beck, I'll go ponder over John Beck and faves 833 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: you've got back over Ponder? Correct, Yes, all right, what 834 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: if Bradford plays Becker Bradford, I'd probably go with Beck. 835 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: Bradford has not played in a couple of weeks, um, 836 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 1: and that offensive line's got issues. That offensive and who 837 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: are they playing this week? Guys? Come on, I don't 838 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: want to say it saints that that defense is aggressive. Yeah, 839 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 1: I mean, but look at all the points the cults 840 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: put up. Oh, never mind exactly. But I think this 841 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: is interesting because I think a lot of people that 842 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: are listening to us right now, are gonna have to 843 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,280 Speaker 1: make these kind of decisions. I mean John Beck or 844 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: and it's sad to say that it's John Beck is 845 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: at the point where we're so let let me give 846 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,320 Speaker 1: you another one. Matt Castle at home versus the Chargers 847 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: or John Beck versus the Bills. I don't like Castle 848 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 1: at all this week. I don't like him at all. 849 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: He has averaged a hundred and thirty passing yards in 850 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: his last four games against the Chargers and Castle. Yes, 851 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 1: he had that one big week and everyone was all 852 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 1: over him in the Castle, this Castle that he has 853 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: blue eyes. I'm just not a Castle guy man. I 854 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't a Castle guy last year. I'm not a 855 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: Castle guy this year. He had a good game. He 856 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 1: had a good season in two thousand and ten with 857 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: the twenty seven touchdown passes. But call me crazy, I'm 858 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,399 Speaker 1: going John Peck over Matt Castle. You know what if 859 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 1: if it wasn't the case where Okay, we're working in 860 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: things new now with no Santana Moss and and Jabar 861 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: Gaffney's gonna be the number one guy. I still think 862 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: Castle is a better play. This week. He had three 863 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: really good weeks in a row. Last week didn't have 864 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: to throw the football because the Raiders would just keep 865 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: giving the ball to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs 866 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: are getting running points from Jackie Battle, they were getting 867 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: points from Dexter mccluster. Howe, your Arenas even ran in 868 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 1: the touchdown. He's a defensive back. I mean, they really 869 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: didn't need him last week. So I'll still go with 870 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: Cast life before. I mean, it's John Beck. I mean 871 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: they know it's it's yeah. But you can say that 872 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: about it's chritis painter, and you could say that about 873 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: in the first week of the season, it's Cam Newton. 874 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter anymore at quarterback, man, any quarterback can 875 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: go out there and put up a big stat line anybody, 876 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: well maybe not. You know, even Rick Grossman did it 877 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 1: the first few weeks of the season. So there, I'm 878 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: just defeating my own pro guys. I would take back Overcast, 879 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: so I would take back over Colt McCoy, I take 880 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: back over Alex Smith this week, I would take back 881 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: over whoever see out our rolls out there at quarterback. 882 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of guys that you 883 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: can take back over this week. Wow, I was I 884 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,919 Speaker 1: just I just can't buy into back. I just can't 885 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: buy into him. And there's a lot of guys I 886 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: would start ahead now there is Yeah, if if my 887 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: if I was a mess and I had to start 888 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 1: Charlie White, hare somebody, Okay, yeah, sure that I go 889 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: with John Becker. I got stuck because I had ched 890 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: Henny and Matt More. Okay, fine, but I just I 891 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: just can't. I got I want to see it from 892 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: one more time. Well, we're gonna have to take a break. 893 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: But who is the m v P of the first 894 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,280 Speaker 1: half of the fantasy football season?

NFL Fantasy Live returns 902 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: in a moment serious two ten XM eight seven. We 903 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: are NFL Fantasy Live, and you were just listening to 904 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: a highlight of Tim Tebow to No Sean Marino talk 905 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,320 Speaker 1: about two risky plays, particularly the latter No Sean Marino. 906 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: But Michael Fabiano is here to talk about some quarterbacks 907 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 1: that you might want to sit on the pine. We 908 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: decided to give Jason Smith a segment off, so he's 909 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: coloring on the wall currently doing a heck of a 910 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 1: job drawing pictures of Tim Tebow. But Fabs, let's start 911 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 1: with Tebow. Would you sit him? You know what, there 912 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 1: has not been a bigger fan of Tin Tebow from 913 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective than me over the last couple of weeks. 914 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: In fact, I had to apologize prematurely on my Twitter 915 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: for telling people to start him three and a half 916 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 1: quarters into that game before he went off and scored 917 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: twenty three fantasy points. If you have another option, if 918 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: you have a Roethlisberger, if you have a Stafford uh, 919 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: if you have a quarterback with a better matchup somebody 920 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: like that, I might bench Tim Tebow this weekend. And 921 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: here's why. The Lions have allowed very few fantasy points, 922 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 1: the fifth fewest quarterbacks in the National Football League this year, 923 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,280 Speaker 1: and the Dolphins had such a great pass rush on Tebow. 924 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: What are the Lions gonna do that offensive line that 925 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 1: worries me a little bit. So again, I have Roethlisberger 926 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: in the league, uh, where I have Tebow and playing 927 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger this week, Tebow is still gonna get your points 928 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 1: with his legs. I'm really looking forward to seeing what 929 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 1: he does against the Lions because really, listen, and we 930 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,240 Speaker 1: talked about this on NFL Fantasy Live this morning, Tebow 931 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 1: looked ugly. His passes looked ugly. Wounded ducks look better 932 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: than some of his passes, um but he still scored 933 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,439 Speaker 1: fantasy points. The rushing though, exactly. I want to see 934 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: what he can do against the Lions. Listen, if I 935 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: don't have any other better options, I play him. He'll 936 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: get you ten, twelve, thirteen points even in a bad 937 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,799 Speaker 1: week because of the rushing ability. But I don't see 938 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: him having a big game against the Detroit Lions. Uh. 939 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 1: Also don't like Christian Ponder against the Panthers, and I 940 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: mentioned early, I think it's gonna be Adrian Peterson and 941 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: Peterson's out. That's a different story, Alex Smith. Matchup based 942 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,240 Speaker 1: started this week, not a good matchup against the Browns. 943 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: They've given up the third fewest fantasy points to signal 944 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: callers this year, which is surprised because you think the Browns, 945 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: you don't think defense. Joe Hayden and that crew. The 946 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: past defense very good. Kevin Cobb, great game last week 947 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,720 Speaker 1: because he had to throw a ton because the Steelers 948 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,759 Speaker 1: were blowing the Cardinals out. Don't like him on the 949 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 1: road against the Ravens. Avoid him. Matt Castle, as I 950 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, he's averaging fewer than thirty passing outs per 951 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 1: game in his last four against the Chargers. And I'm 952 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: just not a Castle guy. And you know Ryan Fitzpatrick, 953 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 1: he's verge just eleven Fantasy points in his last three starts. 954 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: Maybe the balloon is coming off the rose a little bit, 955 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: uh And the Redskins have a really improved defense. They've 956 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: only given up five touchdown passes all year. So you're 957 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,479 Speaker 1: saying start John Beck over Ryan Fitzpatrick. No, I'd still 958 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: go Fitzpatrick. I think Beck is more of a sleeper 959 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: type I guy that you roll the dice on. I'd 960 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: still start Fitzpatrick over Beck. But if Beck scored more 961 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: Fantasy points in the Harvard Graduate wouldn't shock me at all. Well, 962 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: you know you reference uh a couple of things here, 963 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: but Tebow and the rushing. What I was gonna get 964 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,840 Speaker 1: to was that the Lions linebackers aren't very good. And 965 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,959 Speaker 1: let's say they do get pressure on him, Tebow spins 966 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: out of a sack, or they do some design draws. 967 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: I think he can hit them for sixties, seventy even 968 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: eight yards rushing. I mean, I really think that's where 969 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: your point total for Tim Tebow could come this week. 970 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 1: That's where I I think you're a little more safe 971 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: starting him than say a quarterback who wasn't his mobile 972 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,760 Speaker 1: against the Lions because they've been so good against quarterbacks 973 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: this year. But again, Roethlisberger, Stafford, you know, Newton, you 974 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 1: guys like that. You've got to start those guys this 975 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: week over a Tim Tebow because of the matchup. Right, 976 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: and Tebow had two passing touchdowns last week. I don't 977 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: see him getting two passing touchdowns against the Lions. We 978 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 1: are NFL Fantasy Live two ten XM eight seven coming up. 979 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking more Tim Tebow. We're gonna be 980 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,480 Speaker 1: talking a little t O and we're gonna talk wide receivers. 981 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: Start and sit him. Stay with us,
