1
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: He's The Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Goals Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome

3
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: back to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson.

4
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: It's time for the Fantasy Football Focus. And usually on

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: Wednesdays we go through the injury reports. But with three

6
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: games tomorrow, yeah right right, this is kind of fun

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: people sitting at home. I thought we'd throw together a

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: DFS line up first and then go through the injuries

9
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: or the Yeah, the injury reports real quick here. So

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: we are joining the NFL Giant ten dollar double up.

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: Whoa whoa, whoa doll We're going all out for this one.

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Give you something to watch tomorrow, Give you something. If

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: we're not here on Friday, it's because we're in Aruba. Well,

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: the most we can win most we can win a

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: twenty dollars here, so that's not your car. Uh So

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: what do you want to pick first? You want to

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: go to defense. I guess I've never done one of

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: these with a real small number games, so I'm kind

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: of here. Sh'll take us as long they're not great games.

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,919
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are thirty three hundred, The Bills are thirty

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: one hundred, the Bears are three thousand, the Saints are hundred,

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: the Lions or two hundred in the Raiders are twenty

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: four hundred. I would lean towards the Bills. I think

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: so ram Check and Kamara just got ruled out. It's

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: still Trevor Simmy Simony and the Bill should be spitting mad. Yeah,

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: and that's a really good defense despite what we saw

27
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: last week. So thirty bills there it is. Yeah, I

28
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: think that's the easy one there, tight end. Let's move

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: to that. You got Waller at sixty four hundred. You've

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: got Dalton Schultz at hundred, Hawkinson Dawson Knox at kind

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: of like that. I like both those guys over should

32
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox I think had ten targets on Sunday. I

33
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: mean he was peppered uh Cole comment at thirty seven hundred.

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: I don't dislike that either. I think that's a good

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: young player. Foster Moreau at undred, Jimmy grahmmant undred dollar

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: getting into Troutman's out too but um too much for

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: a Waller. I like the two guys or three guys

38
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: behind behind Schultz more than Schultz. Kno commit at one

39
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: Lions note that obviously our listeners will remember, I know

40
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: they're not good, and they have some dude that never

41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: heard supposed to be back. There's a chance he's there's

42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: a real good chance he plays. And my my Lions

43
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: note just is the last two weeks they've played in

44
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: terrible weather, so I know people are down on Hawkinson,

45
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: and you know they're playing in the Dome and better

46
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: conditions against the Bears defense is pretty beat up. So

47
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: he seems a little cheap to me. But I'd be

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: fine with Knox too. Let's split the difference a go Knox,

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: that's fine. I think it's just that's that's almost he's

50
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: right in the middle of both of those guys. He's

51
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: a really good player. He is. And yeah, he's actually

52
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: heading back to New Orleans. He's from. He played at Mississippi,

53
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: So venge game, the Knox family will be Knox family

54
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: will be out in force. You want to go a

55
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: quarterback next, Okay, you got Josh Allen at ye. I

56
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: would imagine he's under dak Presscott at sixty coming off

57
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: a bad game, wouldn't scare me. Derek Carr MHM, Simeon at,

58
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton at there's not a lot of good Gadred.

59
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: You can get tasom Hill at hundred. Somebody nabs Simeon

60
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: can't be in the equation now I kind of lean

61
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: towards Dac. Yes. My only question is though, like have

62
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: we just taken all the good guys? Like are we

63
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: gonna have nothing left? Because again I've never done these ones. Well,

64
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: it's not like he's super expensive. Is the pie different

65
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: with him? Do you want to you want to go

66
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: something week? We have pencil deck in and we'll go

67
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: from there. We have forty two five left, so it

68
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: means we can average six just over six thousand per players.

69
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: DAC will be sixty, so that's a little over budget.

70
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: But if you think he's gonna be good, they're gonna

71
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: tear him up. Yeah, I'm pretty confident that Dallas and

72
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo wouldn't big. Let's let's put him in there and

73
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: see what it looks like, because we could always change

74
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: up and go with car. He's I don't know, Dalton's

75
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: awful option either. If we're gonna go cheap cheap, I

76
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna play you know, running back. Zeke is

77
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: eight thousand. He didn't look great last week and that

78
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: scares me. Swift is seventy three. Okay, he's gotting thirty

79
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: carries in each of the last two uh mark Ingram

80
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: he's questionable for this game. I don't want any Saints.

81
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: David Montgomery six thousand. That's a nice pick up. Yeah,

82
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: that's under our budget, right, that's right budget. Yeah, Josh Jacobs,

83
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: he's actually catching passes since Scruton got the boot. Tony

84
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Pollard hundred. That's the one I was thinking. It's a

85
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: nice little cheap pivot there. He may have as good

86
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: a game as Zeke. I mean, especially if they're up

87
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: that TRIUMVI written Bault in Buffalo. Singletary's forty Brita is

88
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: forty hundred of Moss is no, no, no, what about

89
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: the Drake? At decent gets a little giggle at him

90
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: every time we mentioned the drake uh Khalil Herbert is.

91
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: These are the guys that don't play a neighborhood Jamal

92
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: Williams four thousand. Do we know he's playing? He hasn't.

93
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: He's clear he has no injury designation. That's actually kind

94
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: of appealing. I just mean to me, he's Swift and

95
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: Zeke are too expensive Swift is seventy if he goes.

96
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: If you went Swift and Pollard, then you can afford it.

97
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: I kind of like the names you mentioned. I like Montgomery,

98
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: I like Pollard Montgomery. Jacobs actually fits in Jacob nicely. Oh,

99
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: let's do that. Okay, So you got Montgomery. I don't

100
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: hate Jamal Williams either. You got Jacob. What we could

101
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: put him into the flex too. We have not seen

102
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: him with with Campbell on to play exactly exactly, and

103
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: I bet Campbell loves him. That leaves us with an

104
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: average of just spend on three wide receivers and a flex.

105
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: If we go ahead at the flex position and we

106
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: plug in, Um, where's he yet, Jamal Williams at four thousand?

107
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: We have some bucks. Then we get some bucks to spend. Okay,

108
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: that leaves a six and average of for three wide

109
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: receiver three. We can get some nice bargains here. Do

110
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: we think Lamb is playing? Looks like he's doing in

111
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: that direction. But yeah, uh, Digs is seventy nine hundred,

112
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: Lamb is sixty. It's a little much for both. Michael

113
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: Gallup is that's under budget. That's under budget. Wow. If

114
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: we do that and we can possibly spend up somewhere else. Yes, Uh,

115
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: he's the third most expensive guy. Well, Marie Cooper is

116
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: the third most and he's on the COVID list, So right,

117
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney, Hunter, renfro So. In no matter what what

118
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: we do here, I mean, we could spend a lot

119
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: more we can afford Stefon Diggs. I might go from

120
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: that to Allen. Well, let's pick some receivers here first.

121
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: But there's only two of them that are more expensive

122
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: than what we got. I know, but let's we could

123
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: even plug that money in and make a work I

124
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: like Mooney. I was going to suggest him Oka. With

125
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: Mooney's in the lineup, I think he's a number one.

126
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: That leaves us with an average of seven thousand to

127
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: spend on two receivers. So again, we could if we

128
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: wanted to plug Ceedee Lamb in there, and then if

129
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: he's not playing tomorrow, we can we can pivot. Uh,

130
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: but you can get gallop at like that. I'll plug

131
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: it in. That leaves us we can actually still afford

132
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: digs if we wanted them. I was thinking that two

133
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: so's last year. I'll be like, wow, great, it's missing

134
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: a little something. Well, let's let's take a look at

135
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: his recent game log here. Okay, so he had against

136
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: in week eleven eighteen point three points. Week ten was

137
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: thirty three point two. Week nine was fourteen five. Week

138
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: eight against Miami was fifteen. Week six against Tennessee was nine.

139
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City was just eight point nine, but twenty one

140
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: point four against Houston. I mean it's not like he's

141
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: not produced. He'll get glad of more and that doesn't

142
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: change my mind that much. But I think they win big.

143
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you might just rather have Alan. We could

144
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: always up. We can probably both the way that you

145
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: could plug a. I don't know Hunter renfro in there,

146
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna get. He's going to double. Yeah, you're gonna

147
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: have some money to spend elsewhere. Are there any other?

148
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: Probably two other places, um mooney, I really like, I

149
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: don't want any one Smith. The last two couple of

150
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: weeks actually cheap. He is his last. He scored eleven

151
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: point four and four teen point four eight point three

152
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: twelve went three. These are is four games since he

153
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: came back. I think they're all semi in games too. Yeah,

154
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: we're close to it, yeah, pretty much. And he comes

155
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: in at he's maybe their number one. That's a pretty

156
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: nice move, and then we can spend all our money

157
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: though we're we'll find it right. That would leave us

158
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: with thirty seven. We could upgrade turned back into Alan. Okay,

159
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: get rid of deck plug in Allen. That leaves us

160
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: to spend and we don't and we're we are Roster's

161
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: full right, right? We get upgrade, we go to Waller.

162
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: Would rather go to Waller or Swift? We could go

163
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: to Swift? Really, which one would you've done? Though? But

164
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: what if we got rid of Jamal Williams. I mean,

165
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: that's our bargain basement guy, then we got sixty hundred.

166
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: We could afford Waller as ours our flex. We can

167
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: afford mark Ingram as our flex. If he played, we

168
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: get Pollard as our flex. Pollard's interesting to me, um,

169
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: and we'd still have money left over. Wow, if we

170
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: put Pollard in there, how much do we have the

171
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: fiddle with? He's can that upgrade the Waller? Let me

172
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: see here, he doesn't score lately. I know that that

173
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: can only upgrade us a Dalton Schultz. That's not an upgrade?

174
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: Can we? Howkinson? I think that man Knox and Hawks

175
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: Knox and Hawkins debatable. It's pretty close. Um, can we

176
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: get the swift from Jacob? Think we made from Jacobs?

177
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: Let's see, I think we that leads us with seventy one.

178
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: We missed Swift by two hundred dollars. Is Jacob's more

179
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: expensive than Montgomery? Yes? Or no? Jacobs was the cheaper.

180
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: But we could go from Montgomery. Do I like Montgomery

181
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: more than Jacobs? Buy a nice step forward and it's

182
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: only a hundred dollars different was my easiest one. Now

183
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: we could we could downgrade a little bit from Pollard,

184
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: or we could we could go make a move at defense.

185
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: What if we turn Jacob's into Pollard and see seeing

186
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: what we have reflex? It doesn't change anything. But we

187
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: pulled Pollard out there to make him a running back. Okay,

188
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: pull Jacob's out. That doesn't change Is they still cost

189
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: the same amount of money. Put Pollard in for Jacobs? Okay,

190
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: that doesn't leave us enough money to then to buy Jacobs.

191
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: I don't want Jacobs. I see now, it was like,

192
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: I think this works a Pollard at least us with

193
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: a flex that would get a seedee lamb, Yeah that's

194
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: a dude, it's six that would get us there and

195
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: Waller lamb over Waller. I mean, we're assuming he plays

196
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: and you can go. But if we if we take

197
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox out of the tight end position, we plug

198
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: Waller in a tight end, we should be able to

199
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: find somebody a flex then that we like, maybe Jacob potentially.

200
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you put Jamal Williams in as your flex again, Okay,

201
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: do you think Waller is a massive upgrade over those guys.

202
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: I've been a little disappointed Waller. Let's see what Waller's

203
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: stats are. I like your Knox conversation. Waller, He's coming

204
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: off a game where had eight catches for hundred sixteen

205
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: yards and stuff to say. He hasn't scored much, which

206
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: isn't necessarily so. He has in his last four games

207
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: twenty one point six, six point four against Kansas City,

208
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: that was just sixteen point two against the Giants, ten

209
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: point nine against Denver. I mean he's really good. Yeah.

210
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: I just thought Knox was a slam dunk there. Yeah,

211
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: I think he is as well. Um, you can get

212
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: him both. Yeah. It goes against my nature to put

213
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: a tight ended flex. If you think that, I get

214
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: I get it. I've done it, though, and it works sometimes.

215
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: Let's see if if you put Waller in it tight

216
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: end we had that gives leaves us, that gets us

217
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: Williams Jamal obviously, that gets this Marquez callaway. Yeah, I

218
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: don't like that any of the uh any of the

219
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: three buffalo running right, Calife, Raymond No, mm hm oh yeah, Kenyan,

220
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: Drake get the RASA. You get the Drake Cole Beasley

221
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: or Dawson Knox. Cole Beasley is a double. I would

222
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: say Drake or Beasley there? Would you rather do that?

223
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: Or would you rather have Dawson Knox as your I'd

224
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: really have Dawson Knox. It's a tight end. And get

225
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: Waller out of the equation and maybe make and pick Lamb.

226
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna get take Dawson Knox back out

227
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: of the equation or uh Waller back up, plug knocks

228
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: back in. At least we can get Seedee Lamb. I

229
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: will make that change tomorrow. That leaves with with two

230
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: dollars left over, but already upgraded quarterback. And you look

231
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: at Josh Allen, David Montgomery, Tony Pollard, I like that,

232
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney, Michael Gallop, Drake one Smith, Dawson Knox, Ceedee

233
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: Lamb and the Buffalo Bills defense. Okay, that's a winner.

234
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: That's a winner. Yep, we're entered. So we still have

235
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: a lot of dack Stock without him. I mean we

236
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: got Lamb and Gallop and I think that, yeah, I

237
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: think that will be good the bank see how it goes.

238
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and take a look at some of

239
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: the injury news from today, and um, Baker Mayfield did

240
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: not practice. I don't think that's a I think that's

241
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: just a more of a Wednesday thing. Alvin Kamar will

242
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: not play. Don't put him in your fantasy lineup. Uh.

243
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: That Everson Griffin news out of Minnesota is not good.

244
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: I might have completely dialed in. I just saw a

245
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: headline he has locked himself in his house. Uh, actually,

246
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: they they're just he has gotten the police were able

247
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: to get him out of his house. He was in

248
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: there with a gun saying somebody that. It seems like

249
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of a yeah. Um, I mean he

250
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: has documented in mental health. Really worry about right right right.

251
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: I hope he's all right and everyone's all right, But yeah,

252
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: I mean it doesn't really obviously have fantasy and cations

253
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: but they're in a really crucial game that I can't

254
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: figure out who to pick, and that might be the

255
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: distraction enough for me to go against the Bikes. Mark

256
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: Ingram questionable officially against the Bills. Aaron Rodgers did not

257
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: practice today. Chris Bobin was limited today in practice for

258
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. Yeah, they played Monday night though. Davante Adams

259
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: limited with an ankle. I don't like to see that.

260
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones did practice on a limited basis on Wednesday.

261
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: I think they're bys next week though, I think it's

262
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: pretty certainly. Yeah, Johnny Smith was limited with a shoulder

263
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Unfortunately, doesn't even matter. Hunter Henry was limited

264
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: with a neck, So yeah, right. The Dolphins claimed Philip

265
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: Lindsay off Waivers. Ye I saw that asting little fantasy note,

266
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: right right. I mean he he might be as good

267
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: as Gascon, you know, like their running back room is

268
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: not strong. Damien Harris was limited with a Neckdre Stevenson

269
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: should be in your league absolutely, off air conversation about him.

270
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:03,119
Speaker 1: Dante Foreman, dealing with the triceps, was limited on Peterson's

271
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: gone out of the equation. Jeremy McNichols didn't practice Wednesday,

272
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: he's got he's in a concussion protocol, so potentially Foreman. Yeah,

273
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: and then they that Hillier. Dude, I don't know much

274
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: about either, which was part of the reason I let

275
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: go to Peterson play. Peterson looked really bad. T Y

276
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Hilton with the toe was limited. James Robinson with that

277
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: heel and knee. Now because we listed on there was

278
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: limited Wednesday. I mean, if you're the Jags, are you

279
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: really throwing him out there? If he's because next year,

280
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: well we got you know, maybe a t and yeah,

281
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: maybe Quentin Nelson did not practice on Wednesday. He's dealing

282
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: with they got the box, they got the bucks this week.

283
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: That's a big one. I think cults are gonna get

284
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: a little exposed in that game, I believe so. Yeah,

285
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna hang um Jamichael Hasty and

286
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell. Hasty was did not practice, Mitchell was limited Wednesday.

287
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: Do we think that's Jeff Wilson again? Wrong? All these

288
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: things help Debo. Yeah, we gets a few more carries.

289
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: He always gets carries. We get a few more. Ezekiel

290
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: Elliott not listed on the final injury report passes though. Yeah,

291
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't look great, though he did earlier in the

292
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: season to be for Darryl Patterson with the ankle. Was

293
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: still limited Wednesday for this Falcons if he plays. If

294
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't and don't, there's no, there's no the Quadriolson

295
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: got some run last week and okay, he is what

296
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: he is, your straight line power, shoulder square plunge he was.

297
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: They ran him on short yardage situations. They just got

298
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: in there. A couple of just got out of that

299
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: game completely early and then yeah, right, their teams hard.

300
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: Um Tyron Smith, this was not listed on the injury report.

301
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: Looks like he's ready to go against the Raiders. That's

302
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: good news for everybody involved. Yeah, Ceedee Lamb officially listed

303
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: as questionable. Another offensive tackle one is Ram checks out

304
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: again too. For the Saint term, their offense is nothing

305
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: right now. A J. Brown with that chest injury did

306
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: not practice today. He rarely practices Wednesday, but usually it's

307
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: it's the knee the chest, I know. And he left

308
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: that game and then left the game again. Yeah, yeah,

309
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: it's a problem. Um, that one. You really do need

310
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: to monitor. Um. Aaron Jones obviously has he's dealing with

311
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: that m CLS frame. Matt Lafleur said he would practice it,

312
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: but he was limited, So don't I'm make accounting on him.

313
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: Jared too, they got the rams. Yeah, Jared Goff is

314
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: questionable for some Tomorrow's game with that oblique. Well, I

315
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: hope he plays, just because we're gonna be sitting there

316
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: eating turkey watching Thanksgiving. I'd rather see a professional quarterback,

317
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, at least one. Darnell Mooney had a foot,

318
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 1: but he's fine to get. Marcy's good one for them

319
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: with the shoulder was questionable for this game. Justin fields

320
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: will not play. It's going to be Marcus Allen Robinson out.

321
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: He is doubtful. I say he wasn't and we didn't

322
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: talk about him for he's gonna get a hamstring. I

323
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: didn't even mention him because he's doubtful. Yeah, I assume, yeah,

324
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: I thought he was out. Um, that's the news designations there.

325
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: If a guy's doubtful, he's not done, count on him

326
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: at all. Right. Um. Marquis Brown with the thigh returned

327
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: to practice on Wednesday for the too. Yeah, he was

328
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: back from that illness. That was a long illness for

329
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: not being COVID right, Um, sae Quon Barkley women limited

330
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: in Wednesday's practice that he didn't. This thing is just

331
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: lingered all season long. I mean he's mentioned Lamar and

332
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: Barkley like there's some health trends with these two that

333
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: they're popping up over and over without a doubt. Sterling

334
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: Shepherd with the quad did not practice. Speaking speaking of

335
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: lingering issues, there's always something. Uh. Anthony Schwartz with that concussion,

336
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: did not participate in Wednesday's practice for the Browns at least.

337
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: Donovan People's Jones with the groin did not participate in

338
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: practice Wednesday. Jarvis Landry, as it has been the case,

339
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: did not practice today with that knee injury. He's kind

340
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: of useful for fantasy all of a sudden, though, I

341
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: mean if anybody else, anybody else, I mean he's but

342
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: they're playing the Ravens this week. He's not going to be.

343
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: They'll put Humphrey him a lot, including in this lot. Yeah,

344
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: how about this one. J. C. Horne returned to practice

345
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Yeah, Carolina D's a good one down. Yeah,

346
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't great this past week, but they get Horn

347
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: back all of a sudden, they got three cornerbacks. Luck

348
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: you down. Yeah, that that defense has guys blitz a

349
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: lot to play a lot of man without question. Mike

350
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: Evans did not practice today. Okay, those Monday nighters. I

351
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: don't love he's gonna back. Carlton Davis returned to practice

352
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: on Wednesday for the Bucks. They need him in a

353
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: bad way. Um, Ryan Talbot of New York Upstate rights,

354
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: don't be surprised if Thursday becomes a Matt Breeda game.

355
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: That's kind of already did. That's a complete dart throw somebody,

356
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: New York. I don't even know what that is. I

357
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: guess it's a good point. I mean, is he had

358
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: practiced watching and his reading around with the one? I

359
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: don't know is he operating out of I mean, I'm

360
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: a beat writer. Um, you know I do trust what

361
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: beat writers say. If he's on the beat, not in

362
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: his living room, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

363
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm not touching that commerce that running back situation at

364
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: all though, but clearly they're searching one side note on there.

365
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: One of their big problems with run the ball is

366
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: there built for three and four wide. I mean Manuel

367
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: Sanders and Beasley and even knocks and digs. They don't

368
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: block anybody right, Yeah, Kareem Hunt said he expects to

369
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: play in Week twelve against the Ravens. Really, yeah, so

370
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: it looks like he is back. We talked about that

371
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: Washington football team tight end um Logan Thomas back practicing today. Yeah,

372
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: I did see that. I don't know if I can

373
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: fire him in my lineup, but maybe he definitely worth

374
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on the state of tight ends around

375
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: that offense isn't bad, yeah, um, but there's no In fact,

376
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: somebody asked me, I got a phone call from a

377
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: friend this week and he said they were being offered

378
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: some trade stuff and the guy was trying to get

379
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: Elijah More off of him, or he was offering Elijah More,

380
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: but he was offering Elijah More for for Swift. But yeah,

381
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: I said, who else you got in your roster and

382
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: who's he have? And he said, well, I've got I've

383
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: got Swift. He had Swift Aaron Jones Chubb seeing like

384
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: a four person league parent um. But anyways, I said, well,

385
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: why don't you try to deal with Chubb now, because

386
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: it looks like from some point Hunts coming back, and

387
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: when Hunts back, Chubb does, he's getting sixteen carries a

388
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: game and they have a tough schedule to you know,

389
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: the whole North as a tough and he I said,

390
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: and don't try to go. I said, you don't know

391
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with More. I'm not buying heavy on.

392
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,959
Speaker 1: I'm not giving a good back for More. But he

393
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: had Jefferson and somebody else. He said, you know pretty

394
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: good number one. I said, try to get one of

395
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: those guys for Hunt or for a Chubb. You then

396
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: you still have swift to you know now, Yeah you

397
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: got Trump is a good guy to move it to deadline. Yeah,

398
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: without question. Yeah, I'm my own board. It's only gonna

399
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: get worse. I don't know if there would be a

400
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: lot of first downs for them neither, you know, like

401
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: I agree, not going to complete in a lot of passes.

402
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: And you know they're in a bad place right now,

403
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: without a doubt. But that is going to do it

404
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: for the Fantasy Football Focus and for the show. Just

405
