Speaker 1: a little bit of the Fantasy playoffs, give you some

33
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,960

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: are still out there in leagues, whether it's daily leagues

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,200

Speaker 1: will give you a little bit to help you as well.

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: With that, but first, let's listen news. We'll start with

41
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: some bad news, some unfortunate news. Houston Texans wide receiver

42
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: Tovarious Thomas is believed to have suffered a torn achilles

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: that happened yesterday in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

44
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 1: And uh, it's been a frustrating year for Damarius. Really

45
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of success in Denver, got traded

46
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: to Houston. The first drive he had with the Houston

47
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: Texans he had with three catches. I think he had

48
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He played really well early on, but we don't.

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: We really haven't heard much from him this year. And

50
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: to have it end though with a torn achilles, Uh,

51
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: that's pretty tough. Yeah, And you know, this is a

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: guy who's a thirty years old and UM, a lot

53
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: of question mark's gonna be surrounding DT going into next season,

54
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: depending on when he's able to come back from what

55
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: is a very difficult injury. I mean, Uh, Deonta Foreman

56
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: is just coming back from achilles. He just came back

57
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: this past week, was active for the first time this

58
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: season after also and during an achilles, And uh, I'm

59
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: not surprised that Damarius has seen his numbers from a

60
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective slide ever since Peyton Manning. Uh sort of

61
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: you know went south, let's put it that way. And

62
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: Damarius though great receiver and was a very very solid

63
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: fantasy receiver for a number of years there in Denver. Yeah. Now,

64
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: I believe this is not the first time Damaris time

65
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: this has had an achilles injury, so uh yeah, just uh,

66
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: it's a it's a crappy way for the season. Yeah. Um.

67
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Some more positive news, Christian McCaffrey breaks the NFL record

68
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: for most catches by a running back in a season,

69
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: beating the record formerly held by Matt Forte. I guess

70
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: not really a surprise one considering who McCaffrey isn't and

71
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: kind of how he plays as as a player, and

72
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: also how the Panthers used him in the offense. Um,

73
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: I will say that I will be the the Debbie

74
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: Downer here, like congratulations. It's certainly a huge accomplishment. It

75
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: just feels less special now because of how NFL offenses worked. Yeah,

76
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: And I mean he was targeted a ton of all

77
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: season long. And I also feel like he benefited from

78
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: two things. Number one, Cam Newton not being because what

79
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: was the What was the one big issue with McCaffrey

80
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: coming into the season, Marcus, he was gonna lose goal

81
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: line opportunities to Cam Newton when Cam Newton banged up

82
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: that shoulder. Uh, you could tell down the stretch second

83
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: half of the season, they were not giving him goal

84
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: line opportunities. It was all Christian McCaffrey. And second, because

85
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: cam shoulder was bothering him, he was forced to check

86
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: down a lot. I mean, his passer rating from ten

87
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: yards and beyond once that shoulder went south was bad.

88
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: It was awful. So a lot of times Cam was

89
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: checking down to McCaffrey and he was take there from

90
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: there and rolling with it. And then in yesterday's game, Uh,

91
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: we saw Taylor hit him with the high anarchy check

92
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: down quite a bit before he was injured in that

93
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: game then ended up coming back. He's having an m

94
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: r I on that elbow. So it was kind of

95
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: a perfect storm for McCaffrey. But he has proven that

96
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: he can handle the workload of a true featured back,

97
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: and uh, that's what he's going to be drafted as

98
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. He'll be a first round pick. Yeah,

99
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say he's definitely a first round pick. I mean,

100
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: the biggest question is does he creep into the top

101
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: five in a lot of draft and PPR he very

102
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: well might. Yeah, I think he very well might. Well.

103
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: I think PPR he's certainly gonna be at the top

104
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: five standard. I think he's still gonna get a lot

105
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: of looks even in standard scoring leagues. Um Leshawn Laccoy

106
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: was benched during for a portion of the Bills game

107
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: against the Patriots on Sunday. Afterwards, he said that basically

108
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: was head coach Sean McDermott putting him in his place.

109
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say about Shady. This

110
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: was kind of a law ust a year for him.

111
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the offense was bad, he didn't get a

112
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 1: lot of touch as he was banged up for parts

113
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: of it and missed some games in there. It's just

114
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: this just felt like a lost season. And it feels

115
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: even worse because he is a guy who was getting

116
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: up there in age and you don't wonder how many

117
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: more big campaigns he has left. He was among my

118
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: top five busts for this season. I mean, you could

119
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: kind of see it coming. The combination of the age,

120
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: the touches and the offense, the offensive line had issues

121
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 1: coming into the season. You weren't sure who the quarterback

122
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: was gonna be, but you didn't know that it wasn't

123
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: gonna be anyone that had a lot of experience, And

124
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: this was this was sort of I'm not I'm not surprised.

125
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: I am surprised that he'd rushed for four eighty eight yards.

126
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: If he was gonna be bad, I figured he'd give

127
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: you eight or nine hundred yards rushing, maybe you know,

128
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: another couple hundred yards receiving. But um, this was this

129
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: was a career worst season for Shady McCoy. And moving forward,

130
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: we don't know what the future holds for this Buffalo

131
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: Bill's team in that backfield. So um, Shady, it seems

132
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: like his time as an elite fantasy running back ended

133
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: in eighteen and is unlikely to return. Yeah, I mean,

134
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: I think that's that's sort of the thing. Um, you know,

135
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: curious to see what happens where he ends up, if

136
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: he's still in Buffalo, if he goes somewhere else. But

137
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: it was not a really good year for Lashawn no

138
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: No or many Bills that which, by the way, he

139
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: thought about his rushing totals. I feel like Josh Allen

140
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: had that in like that three game straight, dude, I mean, yeah,

141
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: the insane, Yeah, it was that. Now that it is

142
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: a guy that people are gonna be talking about next

143
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: season as like a deep sleeper Josh Allen because of

144
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: his ability to run with football. He still needs to

145
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: work on that accuracy though. There was a couple of

146
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: passes that he threw against the Patriots. I mean one pass, hell,

147
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: Kareem abdul Jubar couldn't have caught. That thing was so

148
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: far his receiver's head. I mean that was sort of

149
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: the knock on him coming out of the draft was

150
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: that his accuracy was going to be a problem, and

151
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: he got drafted by a team that was short on

152
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: playmaking wide receivers. I mean, let's let's not forget they

153
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: went into this season. I mean they were thinking Za

154
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,559
Speaker 1: Jones was gonna be the top guy ended Calvin Kelvin

155
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,680

Speaker 1: you put them on a team that lacks wide receivers.

158
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,160

189
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: the tough season for you, Carolina. You were there stuck

190
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: behind Christian McCaffrey. Then you ended up with the Raiders

191
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: signed that didn't work out. Then you come to Los

192
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: Angeles and they put you in a position to succeed,

193
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: and succeed you did with a hundred and sixty seven

194
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: rushing yards in a touchdown and fantasy points twenty three

195
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: point two. You helped a lot of people out there

196
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: when they're fantasy football championships talk about the ups and

197
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: downs of this season and how you sort of endured

198
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: in terms of being football ready and then in terms

199
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: of your mental and your your confidence to going into this,

200
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: into this great performance that you had for the Rams. Well,

201
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: it's just I mean, it's it's been a crazy and um,

202
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: you know, every team you know that I was released

203
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: from had a reason why. You know, Denver was just

204
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: because of you know, in the time and didn't workout.

205
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: I got released a month well a month well after

206
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: three agency, two weeks a week before the draft or

207
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: a two weeks before a lot of two weeks or

208
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: a week and a half for the draft. So whunning

209
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: backs was coming out? Who teams we're looking at grab

210
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: And then Carolina, Um, Christian Caper Emergers was just you know,

211
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: phenomenal and special and you know, I'm proud that, uh

212
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: that he's playing as well as he played, and I'm

213
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: proud of I got to help in some way, but

214
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's playing awesome, you know. And the

215
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: and the guy that they picked in the eighth round,

216
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: I mean in the eighth the eighth pick in the

217
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: first round just a year ago. It's good to see

218
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: him emerging do his thing. And then Oakland, you know, uh,

219
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: I got there because Doug Morton was hurt and then

220
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: um good Morning ended up being healthier than they thought,

221
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: but they kept you know, us there anywhere, and then

222
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: to alignment goes down and they gotta, you know, bring

223
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: one up in the practice squad and picked somebody up

224
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: who knew their play so you know, to protect their cars.

225
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: Was a hunting million dollar man. And you know, from

226
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: there it was just you know, I kept telling myself,

227
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm not getting cut because of talent. You know, I've

228
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: been talented, been the start, been a pro bowler in

229
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: this league. I'm definitely not getting cut because of my talent.

230
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: You know when I came off last season and thousand

231
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: and more, so you know, I kept those thoughts and

232
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: kept those um um, kept those those those milestones close

233
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: to me and try to you know, just try to

234
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: let myself you know, and let people know when I

235
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: got the camp so I'm still the same saj Anderson

236
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: if I get the opportunity, and you know, um just

237
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: worked out perfect. When did you know that you were

238
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,599
Speaker 1: going to get the start against the Cardinals And what

239
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: what did Sean mcveighe say to you before that game? Um, well,

240
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: before the game, it was you know, literally during when

241
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: I when I had my my Apasta mill in the morning,

242
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: told me, he told me, you know, I think Todd's

243
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: gonna play. He's like, uh, you know, we gotta plan

244
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: for Todd, but we're gonna expect to play YouTube, so

245
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: be ready to go. And then after the workout, um

246
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: came in, Todd came in and said, I don't think

247
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go, bro, And Sean came in and said, hey,

248
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: now we're gonna lean on you. So, um, you know,

249
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: I guess the experience of being a starter, and um,

250
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, my mentality was just to go, you know,

251
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: huk this team anyway I can. But you know, when

252
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 1: you become the feature guide and the reality raised a

253
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: little higher. So, um, you know, just changed my mind

254
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: sets a little bit to decilly the bulllogan, Um, just

255
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: just try to do what I can up the rounds

256
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: and winning football game. I mean, it had been like

257
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: almost a full calendar years that you have twenty carries.

258
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: It's been full calendar years that you had that much work.

259
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: And were you expecting to see the ball that much? Um? Not?

260
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: Not at first, not, I thought even when I worked

261
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: on play because you know, the round a lot of sleep,

262
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: so I thought, you know, well we're in like six

263
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: or seven death sleeps and I'll seek fifteen and fourteen carries.

264
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: But um, I guess the way the Floorida game was

265
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: going and the way things was working, Um I guess, uh,

266
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: it found a way to working out to get twenty touches,

267
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: and um, you know obviously if the game was closer,

268
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: I would have had more touches. So, um, you know,

269
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: it feel good to have that workload. It's been a

270
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: while since I've had a workload. But um, like I said,

271
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: I just you know, being a starter and playing in

272
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: big games and understanding the situation that um, you know

273
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: we're in. You know, the us of the rounds were

274
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: in now compared you know, same comparison to what I

275
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: was in the two tops three teen. I was carrying

276
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: a load for gamer. So it just makes sense, you know,

277
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: it makes sense. And that's it. Were in the time

278
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: and an opportunity work for for all sides. You sign

279
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: in early in the week last week, How did you

280
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: get up to speed with the playbook and everything so

281
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: quickly to be ready for Sunday? Um a jot of work,

282
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: you know, coming in at five thirty in the morning,

283
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: you know how I come in early, So I came

284
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: in thirty minutes earlier. You know, I felt like I

285
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: was two days behind, to be honest, like I came

286
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: in Tuesday, UM took a whole physical from you know,

287
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: I landed at nine, got two thousand oaks at ten

288
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: since our drive UM physical at eleven didn't finish till three.

289
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: And then we started working on the playbook Tuesday, UM,

290
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: and then from there coming in that fil Wednesday, Saturday,

291
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: Friday morning, UM, doing everything I can possibly do to

292
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: learn the playbooks. Good thing gears. A lot of it

293
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: was good crossover. But you know, I have been uh

294
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: well respected as far as football i Q and picking

295
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: up offices and understanding football with game experience in the

296
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: type of correct player I am. UM, A lot of

297
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: players UH have respected me in enough work. If I

298
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: do go to a new place, I can't pick it

299
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: up just like people don't know. In Oakland, I was

300
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: ready to play against Pittsburgh and Sunday in Oakland because

301
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: I picked up played book too. So you know, a

302
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: lot of it was crossover from what I've done with Koubi.

303
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: I can a lootably with routin do in Oakland, so

304
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: it kind of helped out too. So you're very active

305
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: on social media, and you know, Todd Gurley was basically

306
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: the greatest running back in fantasy football. During the course

307
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: of the eighteen season. You came in statistically didn't miss

308
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: a step. Did you get a lot of positive reinforcement

315
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,360

Speaker 1: two times before teen. Kind of a toddy this year.

319
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: Get the first down instead of scoring, you could score,

320
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: just fall off and you can secure one. Um. You know,

321
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: I've had some had some below with frantasy owners, but

322

Speaker 1: So I was amazing to see that. I tell you, man,

403
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: you're you're my brother, and I was super proud of you.

404
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: Um watching that game, I was smiling the ear to

405
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: ear and I'm not a Rams fan, I'm a Cowboys fan,

406
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: but you know I'm a c. J. Anderson fan, So

407
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: I was proud of you, man. Great job. Okay, Merry Christmas.

408
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: C J. Anderson of the Los Angeles, France had the

409
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: huge games twenty cherries, hundred and sixty seven yards and

410
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Uh, just kind of a huge I mean,

411
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that anybody saw that coming like I had.

412
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: I had talked to him a couple of days earlier,

413
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm I'm trying to get a little

414
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: info from him. I can't divulge what he's telling me.

415
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: But he really didn't know what the situation was going

416
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: to be, and um, I wasn't sure either. I kind

417
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: of got the sense that he was going to be

418
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: the guy if Girly didn't play. That sort of news

419
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: was already out there. I didn't expect him to get

420
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: that big of a workload. But I did tell him this,

421
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: and this is something he already knew. I says that

422
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: Cardinals defense can't stout the run. So if you got

423
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: the ball, you're gonna put up a number. I can

424
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: tell you right now that. I mean, it just all

425
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: worked out really great for him. Yeah, I mean, look,

426
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: I think the match was certainly there, and like you said,

427
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It was never an issue of talent with

428
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: him in all these other places. It just the numbers

429
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: didn't work out for whatever reason, I just didn't, you know.

430
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: My my concern with him coming into this game was

431
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: would he get how many types would he get? Would

432
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: they split it up with with John Kelly? Uh, you know,

433
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 1: would they run a rotation that's sort of thing. And

434
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, obviously listening to him, I don't even think

435
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: he expected to get twenty. Let's also remember, like in

436
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, because you know, fantasy football

437
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: is just like so week to week we forget a

438
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: lot of people, including myself, thought c J could end

439
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: up being a nice late round pick. Why because everyone

440
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: was talking about him being sort of like the new

441
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart and that meant goal and opportunities and enough

442
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: carries and enough touches to potentially be pretty productive. And

443
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: I also told c J this yesterday. So I'm in

444
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: a best ball league with like some of the best

445
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: high stakes players in the world. I think I mentioned

446
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: this last week, and uh, I ended up doing pretty

447
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: well this week and part of the reason why c

448
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: J Anderson was on my roster, and c J was

449
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: my second highest scoring player of the week, ironically behind

450
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. Yeah, you know it's funny too, because I

451
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: went back and looked, uh at my the draft bargains

452
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: piece I wrote back in August. I guess it was

453
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: um July or August. He was one of my draft

454
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: bargains because I thought, you know, there's no way they're

455
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna load Christian McCaffrey up with all these touches. You know, C. J.

456
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: Anderson is gonna get the goal line work, he's gonna

457
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: get the short yardage work, and he'll actually be a

458
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: nice sleeper for you. Obviously it didn't work out quite

459
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: that way, but he ends up, you know, with with

460
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: a fairly happy ending, coming to a team that obviously

461
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: is gonna make a his poised to make it running

462
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Um, he's gonna be a part of it.

463
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: So good for him. Exact, I'm always excited he dudes

464
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: from blow up, soodes that's great. Alright, So Fantasy playoffs

465
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: pretty much over. As I mentioned, I know some of

466
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: you are still playing Weeks sevent team, but for the

467
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: bulk of you out there, the Fantasy playoffs are over.

468
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: So I was thinking, let's kind of get out give

469
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: out some unofficial awards. I know fast you're gonna do

470
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: your Guru awards. I'm sure, you know, in a couple

471
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: of weeks, with all of your big postseason stuff, um

472
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: or season stuff, I should say, but I want to

473
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: look at the fantasy playoffs. So I had a few

474
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: different categories, put out a few nominees, and then we

475
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: can kind of pick our own. I mean, we're not

476
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: handing out any hardware, so it doesn't really better. But

477
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: so the first one, obviously, who was the fantasy m

478
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: v P. I like the Christian McCaffrey who had a

479
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: solid three four weeks. Uh, Derrick Henry who obviously had

480
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: the huge, you know, really big blow up weeks and

481
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: actually even played well in in week sixteen against Washington. UM,

482
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson who you know kind of quietly had a

483
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: couple of nice games and then the big blow up

484
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: game in weeks sixteen when you really needed him. And

485
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: then Patrick Mahomes, who had been steady all year long,

486
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: maybe dipped a little bit near the end, but still, uh,

487
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, he's still gonna finish the year probably as

488
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: the top scorer in fantasy. So of those four, who

489
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: would you give your fantasy playoff m v P two

490
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: to me? It's Henry. And here's why you were starting

491
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: Mahomes every week, you were starting McCaffrey. Every week, you

492
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: were likely starting Watson every week. Henry came in at

493
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: the right time and got hot, like he could have

494
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: been your flex starter in the Fantasy playoffs, and so

495
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: if you already had two pretty good running backs, you

496
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: were suddenly that much better when he gives you almost

497
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: a fifty burger in Week fourteen and then gives you

498
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: thirty against the Giants, and even last week wasn't wasn't thirty,

499
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: but he gave you sixteen Fantasy points. So Henry to me,

500
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: was the guy that put a lot of teams over

501
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: the edge in that he was an added component to

502
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: your starting lineup that you didn't have, and he put

503
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: up gigantic numbers for two of the three fantasy postseason weeks. Yeah,

504
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: you know, I have a hard time going away from

505
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: Derry Henry here. I mean, I thought maybe I could

506
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: make a case for Christian McCaffrey. But I think you're

507
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: right that you know everybody was starting CMC. He had

508
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: been so good all year long that you weren't you

509
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: weren't going to take him out of your lineup. Um,

510
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: I guess I could maybe make a case for Deshaun

511
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: Watson because maybe you had been rotating him through. But

512
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: Derry Henry just kind of came out of nowhere because

513
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, this guy that nobody was starting. In fact,

514
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: that first blow up game, I don't think anybody. A

515
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: few people caught it. Very few people actually, you know,

516
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: took advantage of it because I mean, who's starting Derrick

517
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: Henry So Um, yeah, you're right, he end up becoming

518
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: the m VP just because he kind of gave you

519
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: a performance when you needed it, when you weren't expecting

520
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: it to happen. Um, biggest playoff quarterback flop al right

521
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: from the quarterback position that got three that that you know,

522
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: we're all pretty big names, uh, Jared Goff who was

523
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: just miserable, Drew Brees and Tom Brady. That's an impressive

524
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: list of stinkers. I mean to me, I kind of boy,

525
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: that's I mean, they were all so bad. I guess

526
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: I've got to go with Breeze because we expected more

527
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: from him, Like Breeze has been so good and then

528
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: he hit a wall in Dallas and gave you seven.

529
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: Then he had thirteen five. He probably knocked out of

530
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: any chance to get into the Fantasy Championship, and then

531
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: he had sixteen against Pittsburgh, which isn't really all that

532
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: great for an elite quarterback. So for me, it was

533
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: probably gonna be Drew Brees. But it's all three of

534
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: these guys were We're just they were daggers. I'm a man.

535
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: I think I might have to go with Golf here,

536
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: just just because the Rams offense had been so great

537
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: and he I mean, he had been just lights out

538
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: for so long and he just just hit a wall

539
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it started and maybe we should

540
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: have seen something when when we they struggled against Detroit. Uh,

541
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: it just didn't really happen. And then you know, the

542
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: bad game against the Bears the Eagles was that it

543
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: was not a great game. He actually sort of rebounded

544
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals, but even then when the game started

545
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: with him fumbling the ball away, you just felt like,

546
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: here we go again. Um he did, like I said,

547
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: he rallied, he salvaged. If he got seventeen points, it

548
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: was fine. It wasn't great, But I mean Jared Goff,

549
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: who had been a guy that you really had just

550
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: been kind of set it and forget it in your lineup. Uh,

551
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: he he fell apart down the stretch. I feel like

552
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady, we just weren't. We weren't playing him. Yeah,

553
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: especially with the matchups and what Brady has become. It's

554
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: gonna be really interesting to see where Brady gets drafted

555
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: next season because there's gonna be younger quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson,

556
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: for example, who are going to get picked ahead of him,

557
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: so that this could be the beginning of the end

558
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady's reign as an elite fantasy quarterback. So

559
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: now the biggest we didn't see this coming performance of

560
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: the postseason. Um, I think I know who's going to be.

561
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: But I got a couple of names here. One Josh

562
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: Allen who just showed up, had a huge running games.

563
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: UH was was giving you twenty plus points on the

564
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: regular in the postseason. Um, Derrick Henry we talked about. Uh.

565
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: And then Robert Foster, who you know, I don't know

566
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: that he had big blow up performances, but this is

567
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: a guy that nobody was talking about until about week

568
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, thirteen or so, and played really well in

569
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: the fantasy playoffs. Kind of let you down in Week

570
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: sixteen if you took the chance. But you know, it's

571
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: at least good enough. I think that he will be

572
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: a name that's talked about in the late rounds next

573
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: year in the draft. I'd split it between him and

574
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: Alan because I mean we've talked about it on the podcast.

575
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: We just we didn't have enough confidence in Josh to

576
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: start him well. I mean I had him listed as

577
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: a sleeper in the column for a couple of those weeks.

578
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: But if if left to my you know, my own

579
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: decision making process, I probably still couldn't play him. And

580
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: it was all about what he did with his legs.

581
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: And eventually he was a sit him for me this

582
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: past week because I kind of figured Patriots home game,

583
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: Belichick against the rookie quarterback. I didn't like the match up.

584
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: But Foster is a guy who you know, he had

585
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: a hundred five against the Jets back in Week ten,

586
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: and suddenly he's like, okay, Robert Foster. I don't know

587
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: if I'm fighting into him, you know. And then after

588
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: the bye week, he had a good game as the Jackson,

589
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: You're like, Robert Foster. Then he had a bad one

590
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: to get the Dolphins, and he did have two great

591
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: games in the fantasy playoffs. Let you down a little

592
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: bit this past week. But yeah, the two bills would

593
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: be the two big surprises for me, with Foster maybe

594
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: being one. A. You know, I think Josh Allen is

595
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: is my winner here just because like you said, I mean,

596
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, we had pretty much written Josh Allen. We

597
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: had pretty much written off the bill's offense as a whole,

598
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, like there's nobody that shady. You weren't starting.

599
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: You weren't starting Josh Allen until then, none of the

600
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: receivers um. You know, I think I I hot taked

601
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: Jason Crume with a touchdown or something like that in

602
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: like week eight or something weird, But I mean, you

603
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,239
Speaker 1: just weren't. And so for Josh Allen to, you know,

604
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: to not only do it, but they do it several

605
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: weeks in a row to the point that you're like,

606
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: all right, maybe have to start this guy. And I

607
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: think that that is that is a big one um

608
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: best performance that no one took advantage of. So I've

609
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: got they've got three good ones. I got got Derrick

610
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: Henry in week fourteen going for what to thirty and

611
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. I've got Mike Williams in week fifteen, where

612
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: he scored three touchdowns, including a rushing touchdown, and had

613
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: a two point conversion. And in weeks sixteen, Kyle Rudolph

614
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty two yards and two touch downs,

615
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: long after we had pretty much forgotten Kyle Rudolph to

616
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: be a thing. Ye see, to me, it's Mike Williams

617
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: because Derrick Henry. I mean that that was a ridiculous performance. Um,

618
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, no one ever expects that, but he was active.

619
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: I want to say it was fourteen to seventent of

620
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: NFL dot com leagues that week. Week fifteen, no one

621
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: was starting Mike Williams. I think his ownership percentage was

622
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 1: was pretty low, and his starting percentage was probably somewhere

623
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: between five and eight percent. And most people believed it

624
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: was going to be the Keenan Allen Show, which we

625
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: all sort of expected because well that just makes a

626
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 1: whole lot of sense. When Kenan went down with that injury,

627
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: Mike came in and had a huge game. Like you said,

628
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: three touchdowns of rushing touchdown to two point conversion, I

629
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: would say him and and Rudolph. I mean we should

630
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: have known Rudolph Christmas week we I mean, yeah, that's

631
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: our false there, But I feel like because the tight

632
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: end position is so ridiculously thin, and Rudolph is a

633
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: name that people probably would have sort of started him

634
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: right because of his name, and because well, I've got

635
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: nothing better out there that I can that that I

636
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: can lean on, so I would go Mike Williams. I'm

637
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: I think I'm still leaning towards Kyle Rudolph. I'm just

638
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: looking at his his his totals, right, I mean, he

639
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: ad done nothing. He had he had two touchdowns in

640
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: the first three weeks. He had a touchdown in week one,

641
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: he had a touchdown in week three. After that, his

642
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: totals fifty seven forty one, thirty seven, sixteen thirty nine,

643
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: uh six thirteen sixty so basically his one twenty two

644
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: in week sixteen. He had one thirty one combined in

645
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: the four weeks previous to that. Um and he just

646
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: even even with Titan being as bad as it has been,

647
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of folks had just kind of

648
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: given up on him, and then this came out of nowhere.

649
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: He was, Yeah, he was started in leagues on it.

650
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm a little bit bitter because I had

651
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: both Adam Feeling and Dalvin Cook and I'm watching the

652
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: balls and rut Off I had. It's funny too, because

653
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: so I was in four championships. I won three. The

654
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: one that I lost was probably my best team. You

655
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 1: know that Marcus is probably my best team. My two

656
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: wide receivers were Davante Adams and Adam Feeland, just like

657
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: you had in the Experts League. I had Evan Ingram

658
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: who was balling out um I had and and Lindsay

659
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: Rhodes beat me, and congratulations Lindsey. I love Lindsay. She's

660
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: such a great fantasy player and she and she's she's tremendous.

661
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: But I ended up being in a situation where I

662
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: had se Quin Barkley and Joe Mixon and then I

663
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: have Michael Thomas and New Copkins. I'm not benching those guys.

664
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: You know who. I did bench Jamal Williams, Robbie Anderson,

665
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: Elijah McGuire, and they all had more points than those guys.

666
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: But come in. It is what it is. I'm happy

667
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: that Lindsay won. Alright, So my last category the best

668
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy playoff waver and there was a lot of them.

669
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot a lot of them, So I narrowed

670
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: it down to three and feel free to add in

671
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: to throw in the others that that I don't have.

672
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: But I got Damien Williams, I got Jamal Williams and

673
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson. No, those are the three three. Those are

674
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: the three, dude, I mean Damien. It might be Robbie

675
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: because Robbie was productive in all three of the Fantasy

676
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: playoff weeks. Where it's like Damien, Remember Spencer ware was

677
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: was still active that Damian the last two weeks was

678
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: balling out and then last week Jamal didn't start for

679
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: anybody because but I mean, if you picked up Jamal

680
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: this week, home run, if you picked up Damien last

681
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: week for the last two weeks, home run. But if

682
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: you were smart enough to pick up Robbie Anderson, and

683
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson has done nothing like Robbie Anderson disappeared. And

684
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: he was a guy that I talked about on TV.

685
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: I think we all did as someone that we had

686
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: our eye on. After he had that seventy seventy six

687
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: yard performance against Buffalo, he had seventeen point six Fantasy points,

688
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: just targets where they were like, okay, now you play Houston.

689
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: Their defense is pretty crappy against wide receivers goes out

690
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: and has two against them. Then everyone in the industry,

691
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: everyone in there, and typically if you guys follow the

692
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: fantasy industry and you follow fantasy analysts, you know that

693
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: when we all get on board with somebody, typically that

694
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: player is going to stink. All right, It just happens

695
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 1: all the time. In this case, it didn't. So out

696
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: of these three, assuming you picked them up starting in

697
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: week fourteen, Anderson would be the guy. But all three

698
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: of these guys helped me, no doubt. Yeah, you know

699
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: the Robbie Anderson thing too. You know, it sort of

700
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: made me happy because he was the guy that I

701
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: think a lot of us had projected as sleeper deep

702
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: sleep early in the season, and it just it took

703
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: it took basically thirteen weeks for it to kind of

704
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: come together, but it did, and so it's encouraging for

705
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: next year as well. Sam Donald played really well down

706
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: the stretch for the Jets. We saw him kind of

707
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: develop a little bit. He started to develop a rapport

708
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: with Robbie Anderson, So that kind of gives you some

709
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: hope that next year, maybe this could be kind of

710
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: a nice sleeper combination between quarterback and wide receivers, So

711
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: I think I would give it Robbie. Yeah, it's close.

712
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: I mean Damien did have a good game a Week

713
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: four team, but nobody played him. I mean it was

714
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: against Baltimore too, and that was the week that Spencer

715
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: where ended up getting a little bit dnked up. So

716
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: I will say this, and you know, again we've talked

717
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: about it on the podcast weeks ago. Remember this next year, guys,

718
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: when you get close to the fantasy playoffs, you have

719
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: to handcuff your top running backs. And this season, more

720
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: than any other, benefited the people who listened to that advice.

721
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: Whether it was Damian Williams or Jamal Williams or Jalen Samuel,

722
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. These guys all put up very good

723
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: numbers in the wake of their number one running backs

724
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: going down. And this also shows you another thing. Okay,

725
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh and in Kansas City most notably, guys, any

726
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: running back that's getting touches in those offenses is going

727
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: to be productive from a fantasy perspective. It just it

728
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: is what it is. And I'm not saying that you

729
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: know that that Jalen Samuel's or James Conner or Damian

730
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: Williams or Spencer Ware or Kareem Hunt. You know, very

731
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: talented running backs. System helps man the system helps and

732
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: the system m in Pittsburgh in the sinciment Kansas City, uh,

733
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: both notably connected to Todd Haliott at one point and another.

734
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: Those are very running back friendly systems. So if Levian

735
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: Bell is playing in the Chief's offense next season, oh,

736
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: broy look out. Although I'd I'd like to see him

737
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 1: in in in Indianapolis. But that's just me. That's gonna

738
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: be one of like the that might that's gonna be

739
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: the biggest offseason fantasy He's that's gonna be biggest storyline

740
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: fantasy relevant that you know that doesn't involve you know,

741
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: the draft? Where does he go? Draft? The draft is

742
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: not gonna be as big a deal I think for fantasy. Okay,

743
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: so real quick, because you know, we we've got waiver

744
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: wire here and then we're gonna be wrapping things up here. Um. So,

745
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: if Levian Bell signs with the Kansas City Chiefs, is

746
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: he a top three pick? Yes, I'm gonna ask if

747
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: he's number one and that's the one that that's where

748
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: I would have been, like, Okay, is he number one.

749
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: Is he number one? I still I still think it's

750
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: Todd early. But man, I wouldn't have I wouldn't have

751
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: any I wouldn't have any argument with anybody. What if

752
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: he was with the Colts, Um, I think he's top three.

753
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: I don't think he's number one with the Colts. So

754
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: what team that could potentially and you know, in reality

755
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: land him, would he not be in the top five

756
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: like I mean, So, I don't know that San Francisco

757
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: is really going to be in the next because they've

758
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: got McKinnon. You know, Brita showed something when he was

759
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: actually able to get out there and play. Um, you know, Philadelphia,

760
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't know what the situation

761
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: is going to be with the Giant. I don't know

762
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: if they would go after him, but maybe the Jets.

763
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: I think if he ends up with the Jets and

764
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 1: I don't think he's the top five, then I don't

765
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: know that he's a top five pick. I think he's

766
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: still in the first round. Yes, yeah, I mean he

767
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: mcguires looked pretty good. Um, but there could be some

768
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: changes there, especially a head coach with Todd Bowles. Will

769
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: see what happens. But um, I would think that wherever

770
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: Levan lands, he's probably still gonna end up be in

771
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: the top fight pick. And if he goes to the

772
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: Chiefs of the Colts top three and potentially in the

773
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: conversation for the number one overall selection, old man, I

774
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: can't wait. That's I can't wait to end up. I

775
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 1: can't wait to see where he ends up. I sort

776
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: of just wanted to happen because I feel like the

777
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: process is going to be reagonizing. It's just gonna be.

778
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: So I'm just waiting for the Twitter reports that that

779
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: follow every little thing does where it's like, oh, yeah,

780
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: Levian Bell went to a subway in right exactly. Yeah,

781
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: he was playing pick up basketball somewhere near Kansas City.

782
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: He's going to the Chiefs. Wait a minute, we we

783
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: we just we just saw him at a restaurant in

784
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: Indianapolis and shaking indian I think he's going to the

785
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: Colts like it's gonna be and it's just going to

786
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: be miserable. That's the That's the big one though, man,

787
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: that's that I think Levian. And then you know, it's

788
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: sort of like the top of the running back position,

789
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: which is sort of settled itself. Because you've got so

790
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: many good young running backs in the league right now,

791
00:38:55,360 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: and the the change in the quarterback there's gonna be

792
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: a big shift. It's gonna be a big shift. It's

793
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: gonna shift from from the the you know, the Bradies

794
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 1: and and maybe even the Breezes, because let's be honest,

795
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: Drew Brees did not play well down the stretch from

796
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, and when he plays outdoors, look at

797
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: the numbers. Um, he's a little bit unreliable. You're gonna

798
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: start seeing, you know, Mahomes is clue to the number

799
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: one guy. You're gonna start seeing the shift of the

800
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: young guys. Deshaun Watson, that shift already started. Jared Goff,

801
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: now he's gonna be up there as well. Might be

802
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: interesting because of the way he finished. And you have

803
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 1: to wonder whether or not defensive start figure Carson Wentz

804
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: another young quarterback who he played. He played pretty well

805
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: at times this season, but last year he was an

806
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: m VP candidate before he went down with the knee.

807
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: So we're starting to see that shift. I mean, Tom Brady,

808
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 1: is Tom Brady top ten quarterback next season? I don't,

809
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. That he is. I don't

810
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: know that he is. I mean, you know, I get it.

811
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: He's the greatest of all time. Uh, father time catches

812
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: up to everybody except Frank and Frank Gore who said

813
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: he's gonna play next season. He's like, he's pretty close.

814
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: Isn't he close to Barry Sanders record for Russian yards?

815
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: He might be. I think it's pretty close. Imagine that

816
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: he might be, because he's just he's played forever around forever. Hey,

838

Speaker 1: am such a dork with that kind of stuff like

839
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: I have, like the bows, you know, sound bar. I

840
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: got the seventy five inch TV. I can't wait to

841
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: set that up. Man. I got to figure out my

842
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: my Roku. I've got my Xbox, I've got my stereo. Yeah,

843
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of fired up. I I can't wait

844
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: to hook this thing up after the holidays. It's heavy too.

845
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: I picked up the box and like, wow, there's a

846
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on here. So yes, yes, so

847
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: that no doubt. That means it's heavy duty and then

848
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: it works. Go get it. It's my thing. Hey. So

849
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: for you guys still playing, guys and girls still playing

850
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: in week seventeen, uh, you still got to hit the

851
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: waiver wire. Here, So a few names that I thought

852
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: are intually. Obviously, c J. Anderson is going to be

853
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: tops of the list because it it looks like Todd

854
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: Gurley won't play this week. Obviously, as CJ told us,

855
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: nothing is said in Stone. You know they're they're going

856
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: to wait until the last minute. I think make an announcement,

857
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: but it just seems like he's not going to play.

858
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they need him to beat the forty Niners.

859
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: So c J. Anders is gonna be popular. Sam Donald

860
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be a popular iname fact, they're gonna a

861
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks out there. Donald is expected to start

862
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: this week, so Teddy Bridgewater will probably see significant time.

863
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: He may even start because the Saints have the one

864
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: seed locked up, so there's nothing for them to play for,

865
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: so we could see Teddy Bridgewater play. A couple of

866
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: running backs. Brian Hill in Atlanta, who finished out yesterday

867
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: after Tevin Coleman went down with an injury. He should

868
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: see a full workload against a Carolina run defense that

869
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: isn't particularly good and doesn't have anything really to play for.

870
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: Um Mike Davis in Seattle, who should see some work.

871
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: He could potentially because Seattle's basically wrapped up that wild

872
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: card spot. So if they decide to not give Chris

873
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: Carson the full workload, he could see some work. And

874
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: the matchup is Carson, we'll probably see some work just

875
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: because the you know, the report from Pete Carroll says

876
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: he does not like resting players, so so Mike Davis

877
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: will be in a rotation. But maybe in the second

878
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: half he got gets a heavy work. They're in. Sprawls

879
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: is an interesting because he showed up and just got

880
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: all kind of touches and played really, really well against

881
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. So after waiting all season long, Uh,

882
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: Darren Sprawls may make it some work here. Uh, Taylor

883
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: Heineke's on Lizabeth, keep an eye out because on on

884
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: the elbow got got injured. And also keep in mind,

885
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: sorry to cut you off there, but Christian McCaffrey, there's

886
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: already reports that he might not play, which means Cameron

887
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: could be this is why you don't play. In Week seventeen,

888
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: happy is back. I got Mohammed Sanu in here. Good

889
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: game this past week. Uh, playing the Bucks slot receivers.

890
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: You get it. You've heard it sixteen weeks this season already,

891
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: so he's out there, and then Chris Herndon to who

892
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: is going to end up being a a sleeper tight

893
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: end next season. I would think there's gonna be one

894
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: or two sleepers in that Jets offense, including Herndon and

895
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: including uh Sam Donald. You know, going back to that

896
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: mohammedsan New matchup, I've watched this all season long, and

897
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: we talked about how bad the Buccaneers were against wide receivers,

898
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: and then you know, Mark Cooper went out and had

899
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: a stinker. The Buccaneers weren't that bad against guys that

900
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 1: were lined out wide. They were awful against slot receivers.

901
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: They only averaged uh, they only allowed sixteen point nine

902
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: fantasy points a game to wide receivers who were lined

903
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: out wide. But then when you go to the slot receivers,

904
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean they got absolutely destroyed all season long, giving

905
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: up over twenty points per game to that position, the

906
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: most in the National Football League. This is why this

907
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 1: sort of data, next gen stats so important. And I

908
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,479
Speaker 1: I too said that Cooper was a good art because

909
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: why Buccaneers defense home game for the Cowboys. But it's

910
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where, um, you know, the

911
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: stats really tell the story, and uh, that's why all

912
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 1: the new data, the analytics, you know, Cynthia Freelance great,

913
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, there's some so many great guys out there.

914
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: Graham Barfield's terrific and this kind of stuff. Uh, it's

915
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,280
