1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Wow, everybody, it's Monday, October twenty two. Welcome to the 2 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Show. It's me your man, nam G Marcus Grant, 3 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: joyed by Michael f. Florio and the specialist cast of 4 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: dozens that help us put this on every week, and 5 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: we are we're very much they half way point now 6 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: the fantasy regular season. It has flown by weirdly it has, 7 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: and we're at the point of the year where like 8 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: you have to be honest with your team and be like, 9 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm a contender and I need to build for the playoffs, 10 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: are like I I need to do something quick to 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: save It's pretty much at this point. You have to 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: take an assessment of where you are and decide what 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: your strategy is going to be for the next few 14 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: weeks to come. We will help you along those lines. 15 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: Will do it with our biggest takeaways of the week. 16 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: Give you some waiver wire targets, especially this week it's 17 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: going to be important. Plus we're going to have a 18 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,959 Speaker 1: little bit of some evaluation here we kind of look 19 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: at some players that are stock up or maybe stock down. 20 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: But let's start with our fantasy headlines and very important 21 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: today because there are some notable injuries that took place 22 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: on Sunday, the most notable being the confirmation of a 23 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: torn a cl for Breeze Hall, the rookie running back 24 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: for the Jets who have been playing so well the 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: last few weeks. We were talking about him maybe being 26 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: a league winner, and unfortunately Florio he has gone now, 27 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: and I guess all things sort of turned to Michael 28 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: Carter in that backfield. Yeah, unfortunately, Like ten minutes before 29 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: his injury, I tweeted that Bruce Hall should be in 30 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: the one oh one conversation next season, and then this happened. 31 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: And I mean, Michael Carter isn't gonna give you what 32 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: Breece Hall was giving you, but he can be close. 33 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: And Michael Carter, I think, is someone that comes in 34 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: and immediately as an RB two and he'll have RB 35 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: one weeks because he should dominate the touches out of 36 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: that Jets backfield. Now he's gonna get a lot of targets. 37 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: And Michael Carter is a very good running back in 38 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: his own right, Like I was very excited about him 39 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: before they drafted Breeze Hall. If he's on waivers, I 40 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: don't think he's on a lot, But if he is 41 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: spend whatever you have to spend to get him. I 42 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: would imagine he has probably gone in most leagues, but 43 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: like we always say, it's worth the look. Just go 44 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: and troll the waiver wire, see if maybe he's out there, 45 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: and if so, definitely put a claiming for him. If 46 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: you have him. Though, now you know that you have 47 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: a running back who is stepping into a much bigger 48 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: workload and going to have a whole lot more opportunity. 49 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: But unfortunate news for Breeze Hall. Wish him the best 50 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: and hopefully he's back ready to go sometime next season. 51 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: In Detroit, we were excited to get Aman ross st 52 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: Brown back and he had been banged up, the Lions 53 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: had been off and then he suffers a concussion in 54 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,559 Speaker 1: the first quarter of the game against the Dallas Cowboys. 55 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean, this not much to say other than we're 56 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: gonna watch and kind of see what the protocol is 57 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: going to be. I guess in the short term, if 58 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: he can't go, more for Josh Reynolds potentially, Yeah, I 59 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: think Josh Reynolds and t. J. Hockenson would be the 60 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: two big winners. Like I know, Calif Raymond had a 61 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: decent game this week. But I don't know about you. 62 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: I I wouldn't be wanting to do the Cliff Raymond things. 63 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: Not sure I can trust Cliff Raymond. But we'll keep 64 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: an eye on this as we go through the week 65 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: and see if maybe st. Brown can clear protocol and 66 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: be available for the Lions this week. Those are just 67 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: a couple of the big injuries, but there were a 68 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: slew of them that took place over the weekend, and 69 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: Florio tweeted about some of them. Get a list or 70 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: get an idea of who made that list, and you 71 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: see there we talked about Breefe haw Chub Hubbard suffered 72 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: an ankle injury, Mike Boone, dk Metcalf, although the news 73 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: on him a little more promising than we originally thought, 74 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: Mike Williams, Alan Lazard, Corey Davis, Ryan Taniel David, and 75 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: Joku Keenan Allen who did start the game, but then 76 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: they let him sit in the second half just sort 77 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: of as a precaution. There. It is just a rough go. 78 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: We didn't have a ton, We didn't have a lot 79 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: of weeks with a lot of injuries. This week, it 80 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: seems like they all just happened at one time. And 81 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: it's a lot of very notable players, like even someone 82 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: like Ryan Tannehill who's not being started in a ton 83 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: of fantasy leagues. He has a big effect though, because 84 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: there's other players on that offense that are so yeah. 85 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: This this week was the first Like every week we're like, 86 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: oh man, there's injuries, but this is the first one 87 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: where it's like, look at all these guys who just 88 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: are gone so many and so the waiver wire going 89 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: to be very important. We'll get you some waiver wire 90 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: picks later in the show, but what we'll do right 91 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: now is give you our biggest takeaways from Sunday. Between 92 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: Mike and I, we picked out five things that we noticed. 93 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: And what's the first one for you. You cannot trust 94 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: a Chiefs running back right now, Like you just can't 95 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: do it. We had a report before the game that 96 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: Isaia Pacheco was going to be the starter and c 97 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: h would have a role. Uh, and it might be 98 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon who suffers, And then Jerk McKinnon led them 99 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: in snaps played Uh. The carries went to Isaia Pacheco, 100 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: he led them with eight, but the touchdown went to 101 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards. Hilaire. They all played somewhere between twenty the snaps. 102 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 1: None had double digit UH touches. The leader was with eight. 103 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: So I know the chiefs are on by next week. 104 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: And then after that people might be like, oh, Clyde 105 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire, look, he's scoring touchdowns. Like no, I want 106 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: to stay as far away from his backfield as possible. 107 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: This whole thing felt like a troll from the beginning 108 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: that you know Isaia pa is going to be the starter, 109 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: and none thing was untrue. Isaiah pa Checko was the starter. 110 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Laire had a role, but nothing about that 111 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: report suggested that Isaia pa Checko was taking over the backfield. 112 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: And I know everybody rushed out to get him. I 113 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: saw people tweeting about how great life was gonna be 114 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: because they were able to snack him off of waivers 115 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: before everybody else. And it just felt like we were 116 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: sort of doomed to get this, and that's exactly what 117 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: happened there. I'll keep the running back theme going by 118 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: letting you know that Gus Edwards looks like he's back. 119 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: And this was a week that I don't think anybody 120 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: saw this coming. I still thought that Kenyan Drake was 121 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: going to have a big role in the offense. Instead, 122 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: Gus Edwards played twenty three snaps. Of those twenty three snaps, 123 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: he had six team carries and a target, so pretty 124 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: much whenever he was on the field, they were giving 125 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: him the football. It worked out against a bad Brown's 126 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: run defense. And yes, they're still working him in. He 127 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: only played about thirty of the snaps, but florial, the 128 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: fact that every time he was on the field pretty 129 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: much they gave him the football suggests that they really 130 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: want to work him in and we're gonna see more 131 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: of him, I think as he gets healthier. Yeah, this 132 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: was scary because I was, like, you expecting him to 133 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: be limited because of injury. Not only was he not, 134 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: but like he was getting used in the on the 135 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: goal line like they were just like Gus go loose. 136 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: And I think Gus Edwards has I don't know if 137 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: I say league winning upside, but like he can definitely 138 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: push your team over the top. Absolutely, And especially now 139 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: with J K. Dobbins on injury deserve, which means he's 140 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: gonna be out for a few weeks, I expect to 141 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: see a lot of the Gus bus what else did 142 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: you learn from Sunday that you're gonna want Daniel Jones 143 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: on your fantasy roster, not as like your QB one, 144 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: but I think he's a very useful QB two. Uh. 145 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: He was the quarterback to this week as of right now, 146 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: scoring nearly twenty nine fantasy points only twice this year, 147 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: is the top twenty. But he's shown a very safe floor. 148 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: And what I like is that he's been rushing much 149 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: more consistently this year. Just one game with less than 150 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: twenty rushing yards, but in his last four games, three 151 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: of them he's rushed for over sixty yards, so like, 152 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: you're getting a lot more production there with his legs. 153 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: He's even scored three touched rushing touchdowns in his last 154 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: four games. And then putting it ahead a little bit, 155 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: he could Seattle next week, we know is a very 156 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: favorable matchup, then his bye week, then the Texans, then 157 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: the Lions, so like three of the next four weeks, 158 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: he's going to be a very useful streamer. And then 159 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: in the fantasy play around the fantasy playoffs, he gets 160 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: the Commanders twice. So Daniel Jones, if you're one of 161 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: these teams that doesn't have an elite quarterback. He's a 162 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: great QB two right now. Makes me feel better about 163 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: him having him as my second quarterback in my two 164 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: QB league. I just wish Russell Wilson was playing better 165 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: that I had that same duo in the league question. 166 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: I wish Russell was playing better. That would make things 167 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: a lot easier. I was very encouraged by what I 168 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: saw with the Cowboys in the sense of dan or 169 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz is startable again. That was not something we 170 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: were able to say the last couple of weeks with 171 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush at quarterback. And yes, he did tweak his 172 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: knee a little bit, although he says he's going to 173 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: be fine. What I appreciate was that Dak Prescott was 174 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: interested in getting him more involved and he was getting 175 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: zero targets. Might I say zero targets, that's not hyperbole. 176 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: He was getting zero targets with Cooper Rush at quarterback. 177 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: Now he's back on the radar, he's getting more opportunities. 178 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: And yeah, the Cowboys didn't go put up a big 179 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: number offensively on Sunday like we thought they would, But 180 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: I'm just encouraged that Schultz is sort of back in 181 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: our lives when when we are struggling to stream tight ends. Look, 182 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews did zero. We'll get to that a little 183 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: bit later in the show. But at least having Dalton 184 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: Schultz back and knowing that he's startable again is a 185 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: little bit of comfort for me. Yeah. Especially, I mean 186 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: tight end has been a bigger waste land than than 187 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: we especially like we're losing some now due to injury, 188 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: like David and Joekus, so useful to just have another 189 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: one back in our lives. Definitely, last thing that you 190 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: took away from Sunday, the Atlanta Falcons are never going 191 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: to throw the ball ever. Like yesterday was the exact 192 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: game script that I had hoped for when I said 193 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: to start Kyle Pitts. They trailed from two. There was 194 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: two minutes in this game literally where they were not trailing. 195 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: There was ten minutes in this game where they were 196 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: not down multiple scores. They were down three touchdowns for 197 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: much of it. They threw the ball thirteen times. Like 198 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: I get it when you're in close games, even when 199 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: you're winning. Because as frustrating as as it's been for 200 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: fantasy managers when you come in, when we come in 201 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: on Monday and We're like, all right, the Falcons wander. 202 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: They lost by a score. It's like, okay, they're doing 203 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: what they have to do to be a competitive football team. 204 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: When you're throwing the ball thirteen times in a game 205 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: that you're losing by more than thirteen, you just simply 206 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: can't throw. And if you're a head coach starting a 207 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: quarterback who you can't trust to throw the ball, what 208 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: are we doing here? Like Mariota needs to go, Arthur 209 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: Smith needs to go, Like this is just a waste land, 210 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: right it is. It is coaching malpractice what they're doing there. 211 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: It absolutely I sort of joke that he's like Peter 212 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: Gibbons from Office Space, who's just like I just don't 213 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: I don't like my job and I don't want to 214 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: go anymore. I don't understand it. How it is, as 215 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: you mentioned, in a game where they were trailing by 216 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: multiple scores for most of the day, they have eight completions. 217 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: Eight So that means that Kyle Pitts isn't usable. That 218 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: means drinking London isn't usable. The touchdown they had was 219 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: a long throw the mere bird, Like, what are we 220 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: doing here? Even when they were on like literally Kyle Pits. 221 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: They were throwing him in the red. So there was 222 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: one where they were on the one yard line and 223 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: Mariota threw it too short to be a touchdown. If 224 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: you can't throw one yard, you shouldn't be a quarterback 225 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Desmond ridder Man, maybe Desmond Ridders on dog. 226 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: That's all I can think anyway, he's the top beformers 227 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: from week seven. Joe Burrow went berserk, nearly forty fantasy points. 228 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler staying hot, he put up nearly thirty seven. 229 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase back to back good weeks, thirty three points 230 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: for him. George Kittle on National tight End Day, he's 231 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: you're tied in one right now, twenty one point a 232 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: fantasy points. Jason Myers with three field goals tally fifteen points. 233 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: And the Cowboys had themselves a day against the Lions 234 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: twenty two fantasy points for their defense. But let's talk 235 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: about a guy who didn't make that list, but it 236 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: was just off of it. Kenneth Walker. Another big week 237 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: for him, another week of dominating the snaps and right now, 238 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: I mean you talk about potential league winners. Kith Walker 239 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: has the look of a league winner. Yeah, he really does. 240 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: A hundred and sixty eight rush yards yesterday, two touchdowns, 241 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: almost thirty seven fantasy points. Like he said, he continues 242 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: to dominate the snaps and all the work. They're like 243 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: last week we were like he's pushing to be an 244 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: RB one. I think now he's like firmly in the 245 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: RB one group. It's just a matter of how many 246 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: running backs would you actually want over him. It's it's 247 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: it's a dwindling list, I think at this point, because 248 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: not many guys are getting the opportunity level that he is. 249 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what I mean. The rookie running 250 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: back class. I mean, unfortunately we've lost Bruce Hall for 251 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: the rest of the season, but he was playing well. 252 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: Damian Pierce has been playing well. Kenneth Walker has been 253 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: playing well. The rookie running backs are really showing out 254 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: so far. They have been everything we thought. The receiver 255 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: class exactly what it is. It's exactly what's happened. For 256 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: the most part. It was not a great day for 257 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: tied ends for it to be National tied End Day, 258 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: but leave it to the founder of National tight End 259 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: Day to come through when we needed him. George Kittle 260 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: six catches, nine yards and a touchdown nearly twenty two 261 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: Fantasy points. That was great. I think the more couraging 262 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: part is that it's two weeks in a row now 263 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: that George Kittle has performed, so any of those fears 264 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: we had early in the season, I won't say they're 265 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: completely gone, but I think we can calm down a 266 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah. I don't think George Kittle will be 267 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: like Travis Kelsey, where every single week he's given us 268 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: fifteen plus Fantasy points, but we it's great to see 269 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: that he still has this high ceiling. I think his 270 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: floor is a little bit lower than it was in 271 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: years past, just because there's more pieces around him. But 272 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: seeing him do George Kittle like things after the catch 273 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: and stuff, it made me feel good. Like I lost 274 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: David and Joku in the league where I have George 275 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: Kittle and I've been starting in Joku. Now, I feel 276 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: very confident to start Kiddle moving forward. I'm curious to 277 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: see what this offense is going to be like and 278 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: what his role will be once Christian McCaffrey gets fully 279 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: up to speed. He played a little bit McCaffrey did, 280 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: but you can tell I mean, he'd only been there 281 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: for a couple of days, hadn't learned the whole playbook. 282 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: Once he gets a little more comfortable, I'm curious, you know, 283 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: how that piece fits in and what that means for Kittle. 284 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: But the last two weeks have certainly been very good. 285 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: The Bucks are ruggling as a team. They lose again 286 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: on Sunday to the Carolina Panthers, of all teams, but 287 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: Mike Evans continuing to play well nine six and it 288 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: just look I feel like we take Mike Evans for 289 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: granted because you're like, oh hum, but but it's good man, 290 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: Like I'll take this every week from him on fifteen targets. 291 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: He loved to see that. And and the thing like, 292 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: if you didn't watch the game, you might not have 293 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: realized that, Like Mike Evans could have easily been the 294 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: best player in Fantasy this week. He dropped a wide 295 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: open sixty seven yard touchdown pass like he literally had 296 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,599 Speaker 1: it in his hands and then like literally threw the 297 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: ball up in the air like he was playing keep 298 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: the balloon off the ground. But I I don't know 299 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: what he was doing there, but like the volume is 300 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: great seeing him do this, even with Brady struggle and 301 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: then knowing that it could have been even bigger and better. 302 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: I think you have to feel great about Mike Evans 303 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: right now. You know they're a professional. Keep the balloon 304 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: off the ground, leagues, I would. I think I'd be decent. Really, Like, 305 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: when I'm done, I will send you the YouTube link. 306 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: I saw it. It's amazing, Like they play in like 307 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: a fake staged living room. It's wild, but they're fessional 308 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: league for it. Anyway, Mike Evans is good and you 309 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: should keep starting him. Kole Hardman. Every year at the 310 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: beginning of the season, there's always somebody on Fantasy Twitter 311 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: who tries to make the case for me Cole hard 312 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: But nowadays that person tends to get shouted down. We're like, no, 313 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. It happened. This is gonna be 314 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: just enough to keep the hives sort of buzzing a 315 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: little bit. But but this feels definitely like a one 316 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: off here. Yeah, he's he's not gonna do this every 317 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: week where he rushes for a touchdown, catches two touchdounds 318 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: like that. That's just not gonna happen, or the other 319 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: way around. I mean, but but I do think it's 320 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: worth pointing out that he has top twelve Fantasy points 321 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: in three straight weeks. They're on buy next week the Chiefs. 322 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: So I don't think anyone's gonna rush and and spend 323 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: a lot to get me Cole Hardman, so maybe you 324 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: could just slip one past the goal. I don't think 325 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: he's one that like a player you want to start 326 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: every week, but he's shown that, like in a pinch, 327 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: you can get him in your lineup, and he does 328 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: have a high ceiling. I think another good news though, 329 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: we had another good week from Juju Smith Schuster and 330 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: and he's talking about how it's took some time to 331 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: sort of get on the same page with Patrick Mahomes 332 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: and get comfortable. He does say that Call of Duty 333 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: helped that they played Call of Duty war Zone. It 334 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: was him, it was Mahomes, it was Kelsey. I think 335 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: Nicole Hardman was the fourth they had in there. He 336 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: said they won several games in a row and he 337 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: says that helped team chemistry. Uh, maybe it was m vs, 338 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: but it was one of the other receivers that they played, 339 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: and they says that helped team chemistry. And somewhere Kyler 340 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: Murray is taking I was gonna say, Kyler has been 341 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: onto something this whole time, and the team is going 342 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: against him. Tyler is gonna take those quotes and just 343 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: slap them down on Cliff Kingsbury's desk to see the 344 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: thing with juju, And maybe this has to apply to more. 345 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm like we saw so many, like the more coaching changes, 346 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: quarterback changes, player changes than ever before coming into this season. 347 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: Maybe we've just been overreacting to early season stuff and 348 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: these players are just jelling. Certainly, very possible. It's definitely 349 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: a conversation I think worth having at some point. So 350 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: those are the guys who were good. Let's talk about 351 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: the guys who were not good. Who is your biggest 352 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: disappointment of the week? The Pharaoh, the goat, Tom Brady 353 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: and ever you like to call him. He has not 354 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: lived up to expectations for fantasy purposes so far this year. 355 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: He's only top fifteen fantasy points twice. Uh. It's been 356 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: a bad year for Brady and I'm doing a deep 357 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: dive on him in my Start Sit column. I've already 358 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: started diving into him, and he has fewer time to throw, 359 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: but that's kind of by design. He's getting less just 360 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: as much pressure with less blitz. So I think part 361 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: of the fact is Uh is on the old line. 362 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: But we're just seeing Brady. I think the first signs 363 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: to decline, like his deep ball is not the same 364 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: of what it has been in the past. And I 365 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: know we're prone to believe that it's something else besides 366 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: Brady because he's been doing it for twenty three years. 367 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: But at forty five, it might just be like, hey, 368 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: you don't have your fastball on the deep ball anymore. 369 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: Would not be the first person to see the client 370 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: happened after a certain point in his career, and and 371 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: things are not great there in Tampa. Brady has just 372 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: one game this year with more than one touchdown pass. 373 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: That's it. So it is just not been the same 374 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: for him this season. Mark Andrews on National tight End Day, 375 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: we said there have been two tight ends that you 376 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: could start and not worry about. It had been Travis 377 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: Kelsey had been Mark Andrews. Mark Andrews had four rushing yards. 378 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: That was the only thing he produced fantasy wise, did 379 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: not have a catch. Just two targets got you zero 380 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: point for fantasy points. And yeah, sure, the Browns are 381 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: sort of tough on tight ends, but two targets, no catches. 382 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: Did not see that coming at all. No matter how 383 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: good you are at tight ends, he's not your average 384 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: tight end. You you need to give him an opportunity, 385 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: to him an opportunity. It did not happen, so that 386 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: just there's nothing else to say about it. Otherwise, this 387 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: this is you know, you shake it off and it 388 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: was a bad one week, but it's Mark Andrews. You 389 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,479 Speaker 1: don't worry about him long term. He's gonna get his targets. 390 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: He's gonna he's gonna have some big games. This just 391 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: happened to be a dud that he put up and 392 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: hopefully it does not cost you a week. We will 393 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: see mistakes were made. There are people to be blamed. 394 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: Let's figure out who is who from the tweets you 395 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: sent us at NFL fan to see. NFL expert, says Benching, 396 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase. Yeah, that's operator error. Yeah that's that. I mean, 397 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: you're an expert. You need to know that you start 398 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: Chase every week, that your handles. What separates me, what 399 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: separates you from your opponent, is that you bench Jamaar Chase. Look, 400 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I can't imagine what was happening 401 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: in your head that made you think to bench Jamaar Chase. 402 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: He had been big the week before. It's not as 403 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: though the Falcons are a shutdown defense. I mean it's hey, 404 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: Look if if if you were telling me, hey, he's 405 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: going up against you know, Pat Sir Tan the Second, 406 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: or or Sauce Gardner, and you were worried, like I 407 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: still wouldn't have accepted it, but I'd accepted more than 408 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: just randomly benching him against the Falcons. I don't know 409 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: what you're doing here. I guess the thing is feel 410 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: good about Jamar Chase going forward. Now he looks like 411 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: he looks like himself again. It looks like himself again. 412 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: All right? Next one, this one comes from justin playing 413 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup s mh. I understand the process. I'll take 414 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: that l too. I thought Gallup was in play this week. 415 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: I understand the process, and I know it wasn't good. 416 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: I don't think he caught a pass this week. But 417 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: that is back. They're gonna start throwing the football more effectively, 418 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: more efficiently. Like I said, it was not what we 419 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: thought offensively yesterday. But it will get better. So I 420 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: understand why you did that. It just didn't work out. 421 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: Sorry about your luck on that one. Next one up, 422 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: Daniel started Dobbs got a big zero. All right. I 423 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: don't raise my ann on this one too, because I 424 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: thought Romeo Dobbs had some sleeper appeal for this one. 425 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: I think we I think it's time to where he 426 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: hits the bench. Yeah, yeah, it's it's just the Packers 427 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: wide receivers. The passing game is a mess. Lazard got 428 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: hurt at some point in that game. And get the 429 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: Bills next week. Yeah, I think right now it's time 430 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: to sit. I would sit almost all your practice Samari too, Ray? 431 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: Did I get that right, Randy? Samari Toray came in 432 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: and got a target. You didn't leave the field, according 433 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: to next Thing stats like he was just on the 434 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,719 Speaker 1: field a whole bunch yesterday, And I'm like, what are 435 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: we doing? So I'm guessing because we you know, we 436 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: do a segment now in Fantasy Live the Cardio King 437 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: of the Week, and I think is very much in 438 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: the running for the Cardio King of the Week. All right, 439 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: One last one, this one from Flash fourteen fourteen Sitting 440 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: E T N again, this feels like operator error. Yeah, 441 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: like we I know you were high on E t N. 442 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: I was high on E t N, and I think 443 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: E t N is the guy that you start and 444 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: don't think twice about moving forward. Yeah, I'm not sure. 445 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I have to see who else 446 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: was on your roster before I completely, you know, castigate 447 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: you for this. But but sitting a ten seems like 448 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: a bad idea. So I'm gonna chalk this one up 449 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: to operator error for you on that one. So there 450 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: you go. Those are the mistakes that were made. Hopefully 451 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: you have learned from them and you get better heading 452 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: into next week. It's side for us to take another break. 453 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna go stock up stock 454 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: down on some players who made some moves over the weekend. 455 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: We'll let you know who that is next on the 456 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show.

Who was who 466 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: was good? Who stock is moving up this week? I 467 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: know he played on Thursday night, but I want to 468 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: just highlight DeAndre Hopkins like he had such a good return. 469 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: He in week seven leads all players in team target 470 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: share and team air yard share. And what I like 471 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: is half of his routes are just under half came 472 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: from the slot, so they're they're moving him around. And 473 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: I know a lot of the Rondell bros. Out there like, well, 474 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: Rondel Moore can't run out loide and can operate in 475 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: the slot. And I'm like, well, they're not building their 476 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: offense around Rondel Moore. They're building it around DeAndre Hopkins, 477 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: so putting him in positions to succeed. I know were 478 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: somewhat concerned about him after his down season last year, 479 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: but if he's getting used like this, I think he 480 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: can very much. He'll be the DeAndre Hopkins of old. 481 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: And people drafted him late and held on to him, 482 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: hoping that when he comes back that adds a boost 483 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: to your lineup. At least through one week. That seems 484 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: to be the case, and now you might have a 485 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: very stacked wide receiver group. Talked about Juju Smith Schuster 486 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: earlier in the show, and he very much is on 487 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: the rise. And just at the point when we were 488 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: starting to get a little irritated and frustrated and wondering 489 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: whether or not we should be moving on from Juju, 490 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: he puts together back to back solid weeks. You see 491 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: that there the seven catches, a hundred and twenty four 492 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown against the forty niners. And maybe 493 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: it is just a reminder that we shouldn't judge right away. 494 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: And sometimes you get guys in new situations and new offenses, 495 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: it takes them a little bit of time to sort 496 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: of get going, and this seems to be the case 497 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: with Juju, And so maybe this gives us a little 498 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: bit more excitement going forward. They are on a bye 499 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: this week, so you won't get to take advantage of 500 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: it in a week game, but it also means one 501 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: more week for them to just work and and get 502 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: that timing down even better. Yeah, and maybe you try 503 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: to trade for him. Now, yeah, maybe try to make 504 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: a move for him. Now, who else has their stock 505 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: going up? This is going a little bit deeper. But 506 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: Greg dolchich the tight end for the Denver Broncos. I 507 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,719 Speaker 1: think like he is someone that is clearly trending in 508 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: the right direction. He missed the first five weeks of 509 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: the season, debuted last week on Monday Night Football, scored 510 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: a touchdown from Russell Wilson and then with no rust 511 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: this past week, nine targets, six catches, fifty one yards 512 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: and only Jerry Judy and Courtland Sutton were the only 513 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: other players that had a hundred more targets. No one 514 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: else had more than three on Denver. So again, not 515 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: you know a household name or anything like that, but 516 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: he's a tight end. Uh So, if you're in need 517 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: of streaming tight ends moving forward, maybe instead of Kyle Pitts, 518 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: he is another option, Like I say, Kyle Pitts or 519 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: Greg Dulsach. Now that's a legitimate question. Honestly, right now, 520 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: it hurts me to say, I don't see how you 521 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: can start Kyle Pitts just it's not startable. Greg Dulsi 522 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: might be your guy. Let's let's flip over to the 523 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: stock downs right now, and James Robinson is one I 524 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: thought maybe this week he had some sleeper potential. I 525 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: felt like in a game that I thought was gonna 526 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: be close, you'd see more Robinson. Not the case at all. 527 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: Zero carries one target, he did not catch it, did 528 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: not record a single fantasy point for you. Then afterwards, 529 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: Douck Peterson says that Robinson has been dealing with some 530 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: soreness in his knee that they really just sort of 531 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: wanted to keep him fresh. On top of it, Travis 532 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: e TM has just been playing so well right now 533 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: that it's hard to get him off the field. Yes, 534 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: I know he's turned the ball over, he's made some 535 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: some mistakes, but on the whole, I e TM is 536 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: playing really well, earning a lot more opportunity. You can't 537 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: drop James Robinson just because we've seen running backs go 538 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: down with injuries and somebody else step into the void. 539 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: So Robinson's not drop herble but right now definitely not startable. 540 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: Who else has you worried at the moment? Justin Herbert 541 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: and I know people might be like, what Justin Herbert 542 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: scored eighteen fantasy points this week, But for me, watching 543 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert struggle in garbage time to reach eighteen Fantasy 544 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: points against the team that had been allowing the most 545 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: production to quarterbacks is very concerning. Like, I don't think 546 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is going to live up anywhere close to 547 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: the expectations that he had coming into the year, And 548 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: right now he's averaging just six point seven air yards 549 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: per target. That's ahead of only Baker Kyler, Aaron Rodgers, 550 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: Stafford Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, and Daniel Jones. Like I 551 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: know that's not like like the bottom ten in the league, 552 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: but these are quarterbacks that we expected Justin Herbert to 553 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: be way better than and airing the ball out downfield. 554 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: I think part of it is his ribs, part of 555 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: it is something we talk about a lot, the lack 556 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: of speed on this offense. But right now, watching that 557 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: game last night, I came away very discouraged about Justin Herbert. 558 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: The last few weeks, I think I've really started to 559 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: put a spotlight on that charge for passing game that 560 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: there really isn't a downfield element to it, which gets 561 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: me to my stock down And you talked about it earlier. 562 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 1: It's Tom Brady, and there is more of a downfield 563 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: passing game there in Tampa, but it's certainly not consistent. 564 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: You pointed out the fact that Brady maybe losing his 565 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: fastball a little bit. It's an offensive line that has 566 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: sort of been rebuilt because of injuries and retirements to 567 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: other places. Brady himself maybe just not being as consistent. 568 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: Like I said, just one game with more than one 569 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: touchdown pass. Did not have a touchdown pass at all 570 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. And he's really struggling 571 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: to get you more than fifteen fantasy points. I think 572 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: he only has two games with more than fifteen points 573 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: so far this season. So look, he's been around forever. 574 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: You gotta believe at some point maybe he figures things out. 575 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: But it's getting harder to start Tom Brady on a 576 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: week to week basis. Let's talk about some of the 577 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: top waiver wire targets for the week. Mike, who's on 578 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: your list? Daniel Jones is my top quarterback. Spoke about 579 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: him at the top of the show. I think you 580 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: definitely want him on your roster. Marcus Mariotta, just because 581 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: if you need a streaming quarterback next week, he he 582 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: does give you some stuff with his legs. I think 583 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 1: both of the Carolina running backs are in play this week. 584 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: I would prefer deonce Foreman, though Gus Edwards would be 585 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: my top running back to add unless Michael Carter is 586 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: available in your league. And then some deeper names Latavius 587 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: Murray who just keeps getting work. And Rashad White has 588 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: played more snaps yesterday than he had been, so just 589 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: another name there too to get on your roster just 590 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: in case he could do more with the work going forward. 591 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: And then some receivers. Paris Campbell, he has been getting 592 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: a lot of work. I think we can officially say 593 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: he is a thing in that offense. Tyler Boyd had 594 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: a really big game and the Bengals are looking really good. 595 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: Wandaal Robinson healthy and the Giants top target Marcy's goodwin 596 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: just in case DK Metcalf Mrs time he did play 597 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: well yesterday, and then a couple of tight ends. Jawan 598 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: Johnson had a big game on Sunday night. He's been 599 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: more utilized as of late. Same thing with Kata and 600 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: with Kemeron, Brad Hurt and has been getting a lot 601 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: of volume. If you get points for backflips. Marquis Goodwin 602 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: gives you a whole lot uh in that in that category. 603 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: If you want more in depth analysis on some of 604 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: the waiver wire options, go check out Matt Okada's column. 605 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: You can find that every week at nfl dot com 606 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: slash Waiver Wire. Let's talk about some of the names 607 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: on that us though Gus Edwards we talked about him 608 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: earlier in the show, the fact that he got so 609 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: much work so soon after coming back from injury. Can 610 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: we officially say he is the RB one now in Baltimore? 611 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: I think so. I mean Kenyan Drake was very ineffective 612 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: yesterday that I'll take that l I was on the 613 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake chain. I just didn't expect Gus Edwards to 614 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: be this used his first game since sixteen carries, He 615 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: played most of the snaps, like you said, even had 616 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: a target, And what I liked was like they didn't 617 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: shy away from using him at the goal line. To me, 618 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: it seems like it's all systems go with Gus Edwards 619 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: and right now. Again I said it earlier. I don't 620 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: think he's a league winner per se, but he certainly 621 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: could take your team from being like a fringe contender 622 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: to a championship contender. I think all of a sudden, 623 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: if you if you're able to get him, and he 624 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: was widely available in NFL dot com leacause you're talking 625 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: about a solid RB two that just shows up in 626 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: your lineup, and if you're waiting for somebody else to 627 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: get healthy or start performing, then they just add some 628 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: depth to your running back group. Speaking of adding depth, 629 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: we but last week everybody asking is it true but 630 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: Hubbard or Deontay Foreman, and we were like, nah, it 631 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: turns out the answer is both. So you know, he said, 632 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,479 Speaker 1: the Deonta Foreman is probably your choice between the two 633 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 1: guys there in Carolina. Yeah. He played of the Snaps 634 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: fifteen carries two targets compared to hubbard snaps nine carries 635 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: three targets. At halftime, Hubbard was actually getting more carries 636 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: while Foreman had more targets. I thought it would flip. 637 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: Foreman is clearly the running back that they trust when 638 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: they have a lead um and Hubbard, I know he's 639 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: dealing with a little knee thing right now. But that 640 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: being said Marcus, I know the next week they get 641 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: the Falcons. I think Deontay Foreman is definitely a good 642 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: streaming option, but I still think I'm looking to sell high. 643 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of magic happened yesterday in Tampa, 644 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: but I don't think that this team is suddenly better 645 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: at running the ball without Christian mccashy. That's my thing too, 646 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: that it looked good and the numbers were certainly good 647 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: for both those players. This felt like something freaky happened. 648 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: This was a freaky Friday sort of situation, and you 649 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: got good numbers out of both of them. I don't 650 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: think you can count on that going forward. This is 651 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: still an offense that's really flawed. They still have Baker 652 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: Mayfield at quarterback. They're down. I mean, DJ Moore actually 653 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: scored a touchdown, which is really encouraging to see. But 654 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: it just felt like this was something that I don't 655 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: know that they can repeat. But again, if you need 656 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: running back help, it's worth putting any claim for one 657 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: or both of Hubbard or Foreman. This week, you talk 658 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: about Paris Campbell, and I know you were big on 659 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce. I liked what Alec Pierce has been doing. 660 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: It felt like this was an Alec Pierce week. Turned 661 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: out surprise it's Paris Campbell. It has been Paris Campbell 662 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks for Indie. Yeah, when he 663 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: had eleven targets last week, we were like, that's not 664 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: gonna sustain. He has and had more than four in 665 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: a game all year, and then he he has more 666 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: this week with twelve. He had twelve targets, ten catches, 667 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: seventy yards and a touchdown. Is now scored a touchdown 668 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: in two straight games. What I love is he's not 669 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: leaving the field of According to to Pro Football Reference, 670 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: he's played at least of the snaps in the last 671 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: two games. And yes, they used him in the short 672 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: to intermediate part of the field, that's MS, which is 673 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: where Matt Ryan can really excel. But they used him 674 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: as an extension of the run game. And like you 675 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: see right here, like I always say, if you're running back, 676 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan will throw you the ball. They're using Paris 677 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: Campbell like that. He's getting the ball open in space. 678 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: I think at this point we need to admit that, 679 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: like Paris Campbell is a thing. And maybe this is 680 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: again we talked about it with Juju, right. It takes 681 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: a few weeks for new quarterbacks and new receivers to 682 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: sort of get on the same page. Maybe this is it. 683 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: Paris Campbell and I think his fourth year, the fourth 684 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: year breakout now several weeks connected with Matt Ryan, so 685 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: maybe things are starting to turn there. That cultural line 686 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: has been anything but what they were the last couple 687 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: of years. So Ryan is just looking to get rid 688 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: of the way, to get rid of the ball man. 689 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: I'm tired of getting hit. Daniel Jones credit Mr Dimes 690 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: for coming through and playing some good football. Did that 691 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: on Sunday, had over a hundred rushing yards, So we 692 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: talked about mobility. He was showing that off but throwing 693 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: the football as well, and people starting to wonder if 694 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: maybe this is the Brian Dable influence. We saw what 695 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: he did for Josh Allen, maybe he's doing the same 696 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: thing for Daniel Jones. I know you said he's not 697 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: he's not a QB one. He's still a QB two, 698 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: but he's a solid QB two right now. I think, yeah, 699 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: like high end QB two. He's a top fifteen quarterback 700 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: on the year, might even be top twelve now at 701 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: this point after this week. But he's given you points 702 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: with his legs and the thing is he's taking care 703 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: of the ball. I think that's the biggest influence from 704 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: Brian Dabile is like Patrick Claybown tweeted it yesterday, was 705 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: like that Daniel Jones interception that you keep waiting on. 706 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: It's not coming this year, right, It's not coming. The 707 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: sex was not coming, the fumbles aren't coming. They've got 708 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: him kind of turning a corner right now. Very interesting 709 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: to see. So if you're adding players, chances are you've 710 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: got to drop some players. And for you, who are 711 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: a couple of guys that could probably be put back 712 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: in the pool right now. Kenyan Drake. I was high 713 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: on him after the best running back game for Raven 714 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: and probably over a full year, and it just led 715 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: to nothing. Like Gus Edwards was back and Kenyan Drake 716 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: was back to being that secondary running back. So I 717 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: think you could get rid of him. And then Bobby 718 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: trees Man. He's shown some flashes this year, but he's 719 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: never really been consistently someone that we can trust. Now 720 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: Ryan's Tanhill has banged up. I just I want no 721 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: part of that time's passing game. Yeah, it's it's just 722 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: a it's a rough go down there. In Tennessee. So 723 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: Robert Wood's probably not worth holding on too. I'd say 724 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: the same for Hunter Renfro for the Las Vegas Raiders. 725 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: And this is a concern of mine coming into the 726 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: season with Davante Adams there, knowing that Darren Waller was 727 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: still going to be there. I know he didn't play, 728 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: but still being on the roster and taking targets, and 729 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: then mac Holland's showing up kind of out of nowhere 730 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: to get a whole lot of opportunities. Hunter Renfro is 731 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: not going to. He's not a big touchdown guy. He's 732 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: not a big time yardage guy. He's not a downfield threat. 733 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: So he gets his points in PPR leagues by kind 734 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: of loading up on targets and loading up on catches. 735 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: That's not happening this year. So you look at his line, 736 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's eight points, it's nine points. It's 737 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: all very mid and the ceiling is not high enough 738 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: for you to believe that you can just plug him 739 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: in there and gets a lot of numbers. The only 740 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: guys chase Edmonds because for Hee most really has completed 741 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: to take over of this backfield. It was noticeable on 742 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: Sunday night. How many tar gets where he mostt was 743 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: getting as well. It's one thing for him to get 744 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: the carries. He's getting targets. He's getting targets near the 745 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: goal line. They're using him kind of as a short 746 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: yardage pass catcher too. So it just feels like Chase 747 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: Edmond is not going to get enough of anything in 748 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: that Miami offense to be worth Pete keeping on your 749 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: fantasy roster. Wrap it up the show with our Madden movers, 750 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 1: our weekly look at guys who we didn't get a 751 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: chance to appreciate during the show. I wanted to give 752 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: them some love here at the end. So the folks 753 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: that he just just take our advice. These are some 754 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: guys that we think deserve a boost in the Madden Game. 755 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: Who's the first one for you? Austin Neckler, the Air 756 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: Guitars king himself, because right now he's rated in eighties seven. 757 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott is ranked higher. I I don't know what's 758 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: going on here. Austin Ekeler is not only just the 759 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 1: RB one, there's no other running back within thirty Fantasy 760 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: points of him. He has a hundred and seventy five 761 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,720 Speaker 1: points on the year, no other running back even has 762 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: over the first three games when he didn't score touchdowns 763 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: and people were worried about Austin Neckler. The best, the 764 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: best piece and fantasy moving forward absolutely is I'm gonna 765 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: go with Jawan Johnson and I liked him as a 766 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: sleeper last week. Didn't think he would give you a 767 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns like he did against the Arizona Cardinals. 768 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: We know the tight end position is sort of raggedy 769 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 1: right now, but Jawan Johnson a nice streaming piece potentially 770 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: in play again this week for New Orleans. Five catches 771 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,720 Speaker 1: thirty two yards and look, he's a seventy one overall. 772 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: I'm not asking for a big bump, but maybe you 773 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: know a point here for Juwan Johnson after what he did. 774 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: Who else deserves some mad and love Josh Jacobs, who's 775 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: an over eighties six overall right now, the dude has 776 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: just gone out in top thirty Fantasy points in three 777 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: straight games. I mean, at this point, it's no longer 778 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 1: a question of is he and RB one, It's just 779 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: a question of how many running backs are we actually 780 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: gonna put ahead of Josh Jacobs. I said yesterday, like, oh, 781 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: I don't think I don't guarantee he's gonna score you 782 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: thirty points. Maybe I should have just guaranteed, because it 783 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: seems to be a lot for Josh Jacobs the last 784 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: few weeks. My last one is Tyler Boyd and he 785 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: always seems to be the forgotten piece. I keep saying, 786 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: he's you know, he's sort of like toy Story where 787 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: he's he was Woody and then Buzz Lightyear shows up 788 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: in the form of mar Chase and we sort of 789 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 1: forget about Woody. But what do you came back to 790 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,720 Speaker 1: play this past week against the Atlanta Falcons a hundred 791 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: and fifty five yards in a touchdown, and just a 792 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: reminder that Tyler boy To still a good football player 793 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: and we want the folks at e A and Madden 794 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 1: to remember that as well.
