Speaker 1: the guy to help you get to the fantasy playoffs tabs. Yeah,

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give some people advice out there about a

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: quarterback that hasn't played well, but I should think you

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: should start them. I guess I'll stick around then, and

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: we are going to sort out the Browns quarterback situation

Speaker 1: Fantasy Life, presented by Bose, the official fantasy football show

13
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: of the NFL. I'm James Go alongside Michael Fabriano and

Speaker 1: Elliott Harrison as well. Make sure to follow us on

15

Speaker 1: Twitter at NFL Fantasy for the latest fantasy news and advice.

16
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: We start things off today at the quarterback position in Cleveland.

17
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: Will we see Brian Hoyer or Johnny Manziel under center. Well,

18
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: here's Brown's coach, Mike Petton Wednesday. As as I said

19
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, we weren't gonna make this

20
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: decision any more difficult than it needed to be because

21
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: it's it was always gonna be about football. Uh. We

22
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: weren't gonna do anything rash after the game when things

23
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: are much more emotional and there's a tendency to to

24
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: what the knee jerk uh some decisions. So I wanted

25
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: to be thorough with it, process all the information, all

26
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: the circumstances, take into account, and make the decision that

27
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: was gonna be best for for the Cleveland Browns. And obviously,

28
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 1: after weighing all of it um talking to the staff

29
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: and people that I that I trust very deeply, we

30
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: felt that that starting Brian gives us the best opportunity

31
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: to to win on Sunday against the Colts. We're gonna

32
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: ignore whether or not that's actually true from a real

33
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: life perspective, but from a fantasy perspective, what does it

34
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: mean to have Brian Hoyer in there as the starting

35
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: quarterback as opposed to Johnny Football? No excitement, right. I

36
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: was excited to see Johnny Manziel get a start, see

37
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: what he can do with his legs because we all

38
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: know the quarterbacks who can run with the football, even

39
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: if you're not the best passers, like Tim Tebow and

40
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: Thrill Prior, they actually have some fantasy value. So now

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: it's another week and we're manzel lists. Is that we're sure?

42
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: Why not? Well, I don't think you should be Josh

43
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: Gordon less in your lineup. Some fabs and I talked

44
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: about off camera, how do you sit Josh Gordon whether

45
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: or not the numbers dictate that Brian Hoyer hasn't been

46
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: great since he came back. That's just too big a risk.

47
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: That's called getting cute on your fan c team. Speaking

48
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: of we, we initially thought that the return of Josh

49
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: Gordon would have actually a positive impact on the Browns offense.

50
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: But actually when we did the research, looked into the numbers,

51
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: turns out Gordon hasn't done well in his return, especially

52
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: for Brian Hoyer. If you look at horriers numbers with

53
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon, they're not good. The yards per tamp down,

54
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: zero touchdowns, five interceptions. I mean he had five interceptions

55
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: total in the ten games without Josh Gordon. And obviously

56
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: you see the passer rating. That's a huge dip in

57
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: production as well, eight six without fifty one with How

58
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: do you explain it all? Well, you know, to me

59
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: it may be just a case of the quarterback pressing

60
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: trying to get it to his playmaker. But also when

61
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: you haven't practiced together, you're gonna have miscommunications a lot

62
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: of times. You're changing routes at the line, or Josh

63
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: Gordon's gotta come up and recognize, Okay, they're blitzing from here,

64
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: so I need to break off my route. Well, if

65
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't think that, in Brian Horrier, do as you're

66
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: gonna see a ball thrown to an empty spot of carpet.

67
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm all about the stats, you know that,

68
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: And the only stats that matter to me here are

69
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: the targets. To Josh Gordon, Brian Luyer is not gonna

70
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: be starting on my fantasy team anytime soon. And I

71
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: saw six team targets in a week one last week

72
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: I saw seven touches. That to me is good for

73
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: a guy who hasn't played all year. What are you

74
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: think of the matchup? You know what, the Colts actually

75
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: have been pretty decent against the past, But how do

76
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: you not play It's in Cleveland? How do you not

77
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: play job exactly. I think the only impact that it

78
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: does have those if the offense does sputter, it means

79
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: guys like Isaiah crow Well won't get those scoring opportunities.

80
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: So I think you're right, Flash Gordon will definitely get

81
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: the numbers because he's getting a ton of targets, but

82
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: guys like Isaiah Kwell may suffer. But listen. Coach Patton

83
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: was asked whether man'zell's success against the Bills played into

84
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: his decision, but Petton actually downplayed the short lived spark

85
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: that Manzel provided. He did provide that, but that was

86
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: also against the team that had had a signific again

87
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: lead Uh, that probably wasn't calling that many defenses. They

88
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: were more ben but don't break at that point. Uh.

89
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: And then there was a little bit of a surprise

90
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: factor as well, that that they hadn't game plan for

91
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: him or prepared for him. But I think when we

92
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: were able to sit down in as I've said, a

93
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: less emotional state and just kind of weigh at all,

94
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it was close, and it was it was

95
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: difficult because of how he played, but still we we

96
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: arrived at the decision to continue with Brian. All right,

97
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: So there you go. Johnny Manziel not the starter yet,

98
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: but I gotta think they're gonna mix him in into

99
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: the game plan on Sunday. Well, from a fantasy perspective,

100
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: he needs to get that starting job to have any

101
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: kind of value in whether or not he's in the

102
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: game plan. And when Hoyer is a starter at this point,

103
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: it's sort of a moot point. But if Cleveland loses

104
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: this week, uh, you know what, they're dropping out of

105
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs a little bit. Maybe you do see Johnny

106
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 1: Manziel come in late in the season, and if Horrier

107
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: struggles again, why not put Johnny football in there. Howier

108
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: has not been good the last couple of weeks, and

109
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: did no question about about that, you know, just to

110
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: comment on what Mike Petton said right there about the

111
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: game situation. I listened to this game on the radio,

112
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: picked it up later. It was twenty two three. Okay, Yeah,

113
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: the Bills they're gonna play at Vanilla, and they have

114
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: the kind of pass rush Buffalo does that they can

115
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: play Vanilla and get after you with four guys, and

116
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: so I think that's what they did, and Manzell capitalized.

117
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: You give a defensive coordinator a week to prepare for

118
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Johnny Manzel. It's gonna be a different ball game. I

119
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: guarantee you that game was so Johnny Manzel. He had

120
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: one good series, one bad series, but still somehow provided

121
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 1: a spark as well. Very controversial. All right, some Thursday

122
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: night football news to note. Though the Bears have signed

123
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: kicker j Feely, their current kicker Robbie Gold has a

124
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: quad injury in his kicking leg and is listened as

125
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: doubtful for Thursday. And speaking of Thursday night football, be

126
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: sure to check out tomorrow's NFL Fantasy Live as we

127
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: will be in Chicago braving the elements. Not all of us,

128
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: but Michael found out here with Matt money Smith and

129
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: Dave Damnitsack. They're gonna be previewing the Cowboys and Bears showdown.

130
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: But for now, let's joining the rest of our crew.

131
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: And said over to Molly and Marcus, it's going to

132
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: be cool. It is certainly not summertime, shy. They're Fabriano,

133
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: but we can't have a Michael fabianoa show, right of course.

134
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: Not all right, thank you guys. Molly came here alongside

135
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com Fantasy editor Marcus Grant and it's Wednesday,

136
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: so you guys know what that means for most of

137
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: you fantasy owners. It's the day to work the waiver

138
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: wire for new players. So let's take a look at

139
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: the most added players from NICA NFL dot Com this week,

140
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: shall we? Let's do it. Okay, that was a delayed response.

141
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: Then we start with a boom Hair and then Trey Mason,

142
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills, Kobe Leaner, Seen j Anderson, Joy Bell, Ryan Fitzpatrick.

143
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: We need to discuss there's some surprise names on here,

144
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: and we begin with one Trey Mason Marcus. He had

145
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: a huge day against the Raiders, not just racking up

146
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: the yards, but getting involved in the passing game as well. Yeah,

147
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: he did a whole lot against the Raiders last weekend.

148
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: And look, it's been fantastic. But this is a guy.

149
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: Of course, I always trying to make as many day

150
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: Less Soul references as I can. We talk about train

151
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Mason Steaks is high this week because it's the playoffs

152
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: and he's going up against the Washington defense that's been

153
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: very good against the run. It's a lot of it's

154
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: a lot to ask right now to put your eggs

155
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: in the Train Mason basket at least for this week.

156
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: Maybe there's some better matchups down the road, but at

157
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: least for this week. I wouldn't start him, but it

158
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: is good to pick him up at least have him

159
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: on your roster. But he is the feature back there. Yes,

160
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: he is right now, that is for sure. Alright. We

161
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: all knew it was only a matter of time before

162
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: we saw the chemistry build between Andrew Luck and Kobe

163
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: Fleaner from Stanford and have that translate to the NFL.

164
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: We saw it, Yeah, we have. I've actually seen it

165
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: quite a bit in the last few weeks. Part of

166
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: that has been because Dwayne Allen has been out with injury.

167
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: Allen looks like he could be back this week, so

168
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how that affects what Kobe Fleaner

169
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: does in the offense. But because he's been so good recently,

170
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: there'sn't chance that maybe Andrew Luck worts both of his

171
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: tight ends in especially because we've seen less of Reggie

172
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: Wayne and almost none of hockey Nicks in recent weeks. Yeah,

173
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: there's Dante Moncreeve, but because tidings have been so hard

174
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: to figure out this week, it's not a bad idea

175
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: to pick up Kobe Fleaner and have him on your rosters. Yes,

176
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: and you saw and Fitzpatrick. They're on the most added

177
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: list and none of us predicted this. A six T

178
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 1: D performance pretty much guarantees you a spot on the

179
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com list. It does. But if you didn't

180
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: get your Ryan Fitzpatrick points last week, yeah, you probably

181
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: missed out on that. He's going to into the Jaguars.

182
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,479
Speaker 1: And I know people like to see the name Jaguars

183
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: and think you could pick on them, but they've been

184
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,359
Speaker 1: really good defensively. They've been even better at home defensively.

185
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: So I'm not ready to jump on this. If you

186
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: were reaching for Ryan Fitzpatrick, I'm just gonna be flat

187
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: out on this with you. You're probably not in the point.

188
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: I just need to say one thing after Big Ben

189
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: had that six tar and then yeah, you never know.

190
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on to the guys who have

191
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: fallen victim to the dreaded drop list. Taking a look here,

192
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: Jonas Gray, he was just on the hot list, same

193
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: with Alfred Blue, Martavis Bryant, A lot of these guys Britton, Oliver,

194
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: Ronnie Hillman and Din R. Robinson. But let's pick it

195
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: up here with Jonas Gray. We know Bill Belichick changes

196
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: things up every week in New England, but last week

197
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: he was the number four back. Yeah, he got one

198
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: touch offensively in that AI and it kind of came

199
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: us as a price to everybody. I mean, has oversleeping

200
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: cost any man so much since Seinfeld, it's been amazing

201
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: to see Jonas Grad just fall off. So at this

202
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: point you are free to put him back on the

203
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: waiver wire. The Jonas Gray experience is done for and

204
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: it is a true running back by committee. There you

205
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: never know what you're gonna get, all right. We saw

206
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: Denard Robinson running the ball, making catches, involved in readoption

207
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: wildcat packages. Why is he being dropped? I know his

208
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: production wasn't great this past week. Yeah, it's looking more

209
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: and more like Denard Robinson was kind of a flash

210
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: in the pan. We were high on him. He had

211
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: three really good games in a row. But since then

212
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: he's come back to earth And part of it is

213
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: probably the teams have started to see more of him

214
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: on tape and defensive coordinator are starting to scheme a

215
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: little bit more for Denard Robinson right now. So he

216
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: hasn't been as much a part of the offense as

217
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: he wasn't in past weeks fewer than a hundred rushing

218
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: yards and four straight games because rushing attempts have decreased

219
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: in five straight weeks. So at this point, Robinson, you know,

220
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: the shoe lakes has kind of been tied up a

221
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, just like we were hearing about Manzel,

222
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: they were game planning for him. All right, let's move

223
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: on here to Isaiah Crow. Well, we heard James mentioned

224
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: him there earlier. What does this do for Terence West.

225
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: Terence West at this point has really been downgraded. The

226
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: Browns were trying to go with a two headed running

227
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: back attack, but we saw West put the ball on

228
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: the ground a couple of times last week. Mike Petton

229
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: certainly does not play that. And I think we're gonna

230
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: see West. He'll probably still get some carries, but his

231
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: opportunities are going to be very limited coming up this week,

232
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: and I think you're gonna see a lot more of

233
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: Isaiah Crow. Well, it's been so hard to figure out

234
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: the Brown's running back situation, but I think Terence West

235
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: is kind of over for now in their quarterback situation. Yeah,

236
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: after that critical fumble, in the third quarter. That's that

237
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: might be the beginning of the end. Yes, exactly, all right,

238
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Be sure to set your DVRs

00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: just eighteen yards. With the rematch this week, where does

245
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: he land on Michael Fabriano stardom and sit on Liz

246
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,880

00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: you think is gonna rack up the most points this week?

265
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: So we're gonna take a look at your affect Challenge

266
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: lineup here, FABS. Yeah, a lot of no names on

267
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: this list, just Calvin Johnson the various time this Arian Foster.

268
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys you never even heard of him

269
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: in fantasy. The player that I think has the biggest

270
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: game outside of Arian Foster at running back is Matt

271
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: Forte against the Dallas Cowboys, a game which we will

272
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: be at NFL Fantasy Yeah on Thursday night football and

273
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: it will be nice and cold therefore right off the lake.

274
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: And I just think the Cowboys defense is starting to

275
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: look like what we thought it was gonna be earlier

276
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: this season. They have not looked good. The Shawn McCoy

277
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: racked up the yards against him last week. That Forte

278
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: is going to do the same thing against him on

279
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night. So that Forte is a very good play

280
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: in the Perfect Challenge. Yeah, he's had four t d

281
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: s and five home games this season. But let's move

282
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: on to this next one. I can't believe I'm saying this.

283
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham put up zero points last week. You like

284
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: that to turn around against the Panthers. Yeah, he steaks right,

285
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: no points last week. A lot of people probably had

286
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: some choice words for Jimmy Graham. He has five touchdown

287
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: catches in his last four home games. He has eight

288
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: touchdown catches in nine career games against the Panthers. Caroline

289
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: has given up twenty two receiving touchdowns. I mean, the

290
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: list goes on and on. So forget it. Last week,

291
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham is a good play, and that seventh worst

292
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: in the league. All right, Elliott, to you, my friend,

293
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: Let's help the people out here and take us through

294
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: your Perfect Challenge. A line up, Let's see if you

295
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: have any surprises. I think I do. I'd like to

296
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: tee up the headshot here Molly's the one you told

297
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: me it looks like Jordan Cameron the screen on hairs

298
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: looking a little messy. Apologize for that mess I don't

299
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: apologize for the lineup though. Aaron Rodgers, de Marco Murray

300
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: like fabs, A lot of usual suspects here. Uh, the

301
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: guys that I'd like to point out though, first of all,

302
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: and I really wanted to talk Cody Parkey, but our

303
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: producer Heather Pink said, no kicker video right, DeMarco Murray

304
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: and Arian Foster to me, eyeball tests, these have been

305
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: the best running backs in football. Now. Leavy On Bell

306
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: I would throw into that mix, but I like the

307
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: way Foster and Murray's schedule lays out better than I

308
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: like lebian Bell's schedule. Then again, lebian Bell matchup proof.

309
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: Really Arian Foster when he's healthy, he's as good as

310
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: anybody in football. And I feel like that J. J.

311
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: Watts dominance has somewhat obscured his relevance to that team.

312
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: And then DeMarco Murray what his worst game was seventy

313
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: nine yards against the Cardinals defense. And that was when

314
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Whedon was a starting quarterback. No way you sit

315
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: to Marco Murray. Now from there, I'd like to talk

316
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: about the Broncos defense because you asked for surprises, right,

317
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: that is a bit surprising, but they do know they

318
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. They do. They get off after

319
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Thirty four sacks this year, which is in

320
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: the top five in the NFL. They've also had a

321
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: couple of big turnover games as of Layton. That's how

322
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: you get minus two. And I'll let Marcus explain fantasy

323
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: scoring for you here in a minute. You heard something,

324
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: but DeMarcus where is a huge presence for them because

325
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: it opens things up for Vonon Miller. I also like

326
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: the way that their schedule lays out. They've got a

327
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: couple of games coming up. I think your game that's

328
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: gonna be very good against Kyle Rton this week. Yeah,

329
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: and back to Foster and Murray. When those two are healthy,

330
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: they're the best in the game. Forget the eyeball test,

331
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: how about the paper test, just in terms of the

332
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: points they put up. All right, Marcus, it's your turn

333
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: yet that round out here with their line up, let's

334
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: take a look at your board. I'm hoping, I'm hoping

335
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: for some surprise. Oh, you will be surprised. Absolutely. I'm

336
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: noticing a lot of themes though, guys were n We're

337
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: all about the players that are taking on Carolina in

338
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. I'm seeing quite a few, have you seen

339
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: the NC. Part of the reason, though, is because when

340
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: you're playing the perfect challenge every now and then, you

341
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: kind of got to think outside the box because there

342
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: are always those guys that you don't expect who are

343
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: gonna rise up and have nutrid Who would have thought

344
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick would have been the perfect challenge quarterback DeAndre

345
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: Hopkins as the wide receiver. So I took a couple

346
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: of chances. When you see Kenny Stills there, you see

347
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: the Landy Walker. But I do want to start at

348
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: matchup absolutely, start with Levian Bell and Elliott You mentioned it,

349
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: how you know you went? Arian Foster de Marco Murray

350
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: outstanding choices. I have enjoyed, just from an eyeball perspective,

351
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: watching Levian Bell play this year. He's been fantastic, and

352
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: he kind of has gotten to the point where he

353
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: is matchup proof. He's becoming a bigger part of what

354
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: the Steelers do in their offense, and he's scoring touchdowns

355
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: which he wasn't early in the season. Add to the

356
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: fact that the Bengals have been vulnerable at home against

357
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: running backs, giving up more than twenty two points a game.

358
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: He saw last week a hundred and fifty nine receiving

359
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: yards for Levian Bell. Probably not this much this week,

360
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: but he's still gonna think get a lot of touches

361
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of opportunities to score points. Yeah, with

362
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: the departure of a little Farrett Blunt, his production has

363
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: really started. Four hundred and seventy six scrimmage yards in

364
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: two games. How about de Landy Walker, He's got a

365
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: nice matchup against the gym. He does have a good

366
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: matchup against the gymn this week. And we have said

367
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: time and time again this season how difficult it's been

368
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: to predict what fantasy Titans do. But Walker quietly has

369
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: been one of the more consistent guys when he's been

370
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: on the field. Add to it, justin Hunter looks like

371
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: he's probably done for the rest of the season. Can

372
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: the right has been very inconsistent this year. De Landy

373
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: Walker has been maybe the most consistent target in that

374
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: Titans offense. So I like what he offers. And the

375
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: fact is he's great after the catch. I mean, you

376
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: see it here. He's he's got great speed and everything.

377
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: I like the Lady Walker. Maybe it's a sneaky play.

378
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: I wish he was more muscular, Yeah, I wish you know,

379
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: he's got a book hit the weight room and I

380
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: love your Rams defense pick. That's taken a real shot. Hey,

381
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: and maybe Colt McCoy coming back comes back to earth exactly.

382
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: Good stuff, guys, that's our perfect challenge. So nobody's out.

383
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: It's been a roller coaster season for running backs and

384
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: with the fantasy playoffs finally here, Michael Fabriano has got

385
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: your back with which one is to start? And Week fourteen,

386
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: it's really benching Trey Mason. Am I hearing that correctly?

387
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: And we know it can be a scary thought, but

388
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: can you really trust Eli Manning with your fantasy championship

389
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: hopes in the balance? We break it all down on

390
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Lives. Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. Michael

391
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: Fabriano is here with his weekly Starts and sits one

392
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: of the most popular columns in the fantasy football universe,

393
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: and the full column can be found by going to

394
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: NFL dot com. Slash starts it, Mike, Let's talk running

395
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: back to joyke Bell a twenty point game last week.

396
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: What does he do this week versus Tampa. Well, this

397
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: is a week where people really need help with the

398
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: flex starter position or their RV two's, and I like

399
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: Joy Bill this week. Last week had a huge game

400
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: over twenty fantasy points. And now he's got the Buccaneers.

401
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: They have a lot of average of over twenty four

402
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: fantasy points per game to home running backs. And oh,

403
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: by the way, Bell plays the Vikings the week after,

404
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: so he could really help you in the fantasy playoffs

405
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: because of this matchup. I'm starting him. He's a very

406
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: good flex for fantasy owners. Another running back that I'm

407
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: starting could be a good flex RV two Isaiah crow Well.

408
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: He had a career high eighteen touches against the Bills

409
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: last week, and I think part of the reason is

410
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: Terence West Well, he fumbled, might be in the doghouse.

411
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: The Colts have a lot of average of close to

412
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: twenty fantasy points per game to home running backs. I

413
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: really like crow Well in this contest. They're gonna run

414
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: it with Brian Hoyer under center. Are running back that

415
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't like this week, and you're probably thinking Fabiano,

416
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: Come mon, Trey Mason, he just had a huge game.

417
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: He's not playing the Raiders again this week. He's got

418
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: the Redskins. They have a lot of the fourth fewest

419
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: fantasy points the running backs this year, giving up an

420
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: average of thirteen point three points per game. That's not good.

421
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: And the reds Kids have also given up just two

422
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns to running backs on their home field. So Mason,

423
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: He's probably still gonna be started as a flex, but

424
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: temper your expectations. Very controversial call, right there. I love it,

425
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: Joy Bell, Isaac crow Will, mark Ingram is gonna just

426
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: go crazy against Carolina. H Jennings has an awesome matchup

427
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: against Tennessee as well. How about Doug Martin, He actually

428
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: got a touchdown last week, but versus that very tough

429
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: Detroit front four, Yeah, exassively and you saw Lamar Miller

430
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: on the on the sits there as well. Bad matchup.

431
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: Baltimore's run defense is good, the past defense that you

432
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: can beat wide receivers. Now. Kelvin Benjamin disappointed last week

433
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 1: with a five point effort versus the Vikings, but does

434
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: he rebound this week versus the same. I think he does.

435
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: And this is a really good matchup for Kelvin Benjamin.

436
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: And if you look at his numbers, he's actually been

437
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: better on the road statistically than he's been at home.

438
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: It's kind of weird. Six touchdowns in six career road games.

439
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: He's averaging almost thirteen Fantasy points per game on the road.

440
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: At home, he's averaging eight. So that's a big discrepancy there.

441
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: The Saints have allowed the third most Fantasy points to

442
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: wide receivers this year. I think Kelvin Benjamin gets into

443
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: the end zone stardom against New Orleans. Another player I'm

444
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: gonna start speaking of New Orleans, Hey, Kenny Stills. He

445
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: is on the fantasy radar right now as a number

446
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: two or flex starter across the board. You know, he's

447
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: had almost sixty combined Fantasy points in his last three

448
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,479
Speaker 1: games in PPR leagues, and the Panthers have allowed thirty

449
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: point two Fantasy points per game to home wide receivers.

450
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: That is a boatload. This is the guy to start. Heck,

451
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: he's been better than Jimmy Graham. I can't believe I

452
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: just said that, but star Kenny Stills this week a

453
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: player I'm sitting. And again this is another one where

454
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: people are gonna look at the cross eye and think

455
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: I gotta be crazy, but I don't like the matchup

456
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: for Keenan Allen. One touchdown in six home games this year,

457
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: sixty plus receiving yards once in his last four home games,

458
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: and the Patriots have had the fourth fewest fantasy points

459
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: and wide receivers. And there's a chance that he could

460
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: be covered by Dr Reeves. And if he's not, maybe

461
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: they used Brandon Browner and they bracket him with his safety.

462
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but either way, this is a really

463
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: bad matchup for Keenan Allen. I would be surprised if

464
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: he had double digit Fantasy points. So there you go

465
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: again coming off of a big game. But yes, you're right,

466
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: you gotta play the matchup every week. Odell Beckham Jr.

467
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: A start versus Tennessee, Calvin Benjamin johnsh Gordon start versus

468
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: Indiana Indianapolis rather and on the sixth side to go

469
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: along with Keenan Allen, Michael Floyd has really struggled Vincent

470
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: Jackson and Steve Smith Senior after start in the week

471
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: or excuse me, the season so hot has really been

472
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: very up and down. Tory Smith is the Ravens Smith

473
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: start alright quarterbacks now Russ Still Wilson, even in a

474
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: low scoring game last week, still put up respectable points

475
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: seventeen points last week against the Niners. This week, a

476
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: much softer opponent in Philadelphia. How do you see him doing?

477
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: I love this matchup for Russell Wilson. I think he

478
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: is a very solid start. And there's been weeks where

479
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: I haven't liked him because of the matchups, and he's

480
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: still put up pretty decent numbers. In his last five

481
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: road games. He's averaging almost twenty five Fantasy points a game,

482
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: and the Eagles have a lot of average of almost

483
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: nineteen points per game to road quarterbacks, which means qbs

484
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: that visit Philadelphia they normally succeed. Whether it's with his arm,

485
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: with his legs. Russell Wilson will put up top ten

486
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: numbers at the quarterback position this week. Another quarterback I like,

487
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I like Colin Caprick. I don't know what

488
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: to say. I know that I went down with the

489
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: ship last night, I said Sid and he had a

490
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: bad game. But he's playing the Raiders in Oakland. The

491
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: Raiders are allowed the fourth most fantasy poinst to quarterbacks

492
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: in the last four weeks. They have a lot of

493
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: average of almost twenty one fantasy points per game to

494
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: road quarterbacks, ten touchdown passes aloud in the last four weeks.

495
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 1: If Kaepernick can't do it this week, I am cutting

496
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: him from every roster in fantasy football. There's not a

497
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: better matchup to be had for Colin Kaepernick again. Finally,

498
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: I'm sitting Ben Roethlisberger. Now, people may think this is crazy,

499
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: but I've got a little stat for you. I like

500
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 1: to spit like the trends. Did you know that a

501
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: Steelers quarterback has not thrown for three yards in Cincinnati

502
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: since I was Neil o'donald, who I'm a big fan

503
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: of because I like the Cowboys, and he throw those

504
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: two picks to Larry Brown in the Super Bowl. But

505
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: that's neither here nor there. Big Ben also hasn't had

506
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: multiple touchdown passes in his last five games in Cincinnati.

507
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: I like nothing about this matchup. Start Levian Bell, he

508
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: will go off. Roethlisberger not so much so. I love

509
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: that you just stuck some random Cowboys. When you think

510
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: Neil o'donald, you think Dallas Cowboys. Right, well not really,

511
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: Ryan ta Hilla start just by struggling last week. Russell

512
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: Wilson in there as well as you may. All right,

513
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers gonna be a sit versus New England in

514
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: that very tough secondary. Matt Ryan at Green Babe, Green

515
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: Bay has been an absolute house of horrors for any

516
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: visiting quarterback. Yeah, you can't start Matt Ryan a dome

517
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: quarterback on the road and Mark Sanchez no good, no

518
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: the next two weeks. Start them this week, don't start

519
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: them exactly all right again? The full start sit list

521
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: question is who would you start? Odell Beckham or Brandon

522
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: Marshall A very tough call for some, but our experts

Speaker 1: the people where we try to answer as many questions

547
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: as we can, and we ripped through those Fantasy Genius questions.

548
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: It's our version of the two minute drift. Let's do

549
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: it all right. First on here, better start Matthew Stafford

550
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: versus the Bucks or Russell Wilson against the Eagles. I'm

551
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,239
Speaker 1: going Russell Wilson this time. I am going to go

552
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: with Matt staff and against my own better judgment, I

553
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: am actually gonna say he puts two good games back

554
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: to back. All right, Le'll stay with the quarterbacks. Better

555
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: start Colin Kaepernick versus the Raiders or Philip Rivers against

556
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots Colin KEI I feel exactly the way too.

557
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: I'm going Kaeverernick, but yeah, can you not start Colin

558
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: kill remever asked that question? Or Hal but we're not confident?

559
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: Better flex Boom Aaron versus Cleveland or Jarvis Landry against

560
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens. This is a good question. I'm going with

561
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: the Boom just because I in the flex. I like

562
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 1: having a running back because it's easier to get him

563
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: the football. Me too, and I think it would be

564
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: hoove the Colts to hand the ball off a little

565
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: bit more so Andrew Luck doesn't get pummeled yet he

566
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: split carries with Trent Richardson last week A piece. All right,

567
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: hope for the biggest surprise in Week fourteen, the biggest surprise,

568
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm going with Golden Tate. I think the Bucks trying

569
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: to lock down on Calvin Johnson at least tap open.

570
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: I like that one. I'm going with the Eagles offensive weapons.

571
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: I think everyone thinks Seattle is just gonna run right

572
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: through the rest of the the schedule and win the Super Bowl. Now,

573
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: after last week, I think the Eagles offensive weapons will

574
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: fair viably not great viably. Okay, keyword there. Better start

575
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall against the Cowboys or Odell Beckham versus Tennessee.

576
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: I'll take Odell Beckham. I I realized that Titans past

577
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: defense is not that statistically. Odell Beckham is already proven

578
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if he's covered, he can catch the football.

579
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: I think he's almost becoming matchupf you know, I'm very

580
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: close on that. I'm going Brandon Marshall just because we've

581
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: seen the Cowboys defense have some breakdowns the last couple

582
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: of weeks. I'll take Beckham even with one hand. Better

583
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: start Kyle Rudolph versus the Jets or Jordan Read against

584
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: the Rams. I have a new rule in fantasy. It's

585
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: called don't start Kyle Rudolph Jordan. I'm in the Christmas season,

586
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: especially in the Rudolph the red zone Reindeer. I'm going

587
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph. I've worked better. Start Delaney Walker against the

588
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: Giants or Antonio Gates versus the Patriots. I like Delanney

589
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: Walker in this game to match up again the Giants.

590
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: I think he's going to present some troubles for your

591
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: secondary I had the Landy Walker on my Perfect Challenge team.

592
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm going with him. Were locked in on Mr Wafer.

593
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: He's a friend of the program. Thank you, guys. Let's

594
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: send it over to Adam Rink to help the viewers

595
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: at home by giving out some sleepers. Adam. Oh, hey,

596
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: thanks guys. Every week on NFL dot Com, I give

597
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: you eleven is sleepers who can help you win your

598
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: fantasy matchup. Right now, I'm gonna give you a special

599
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: preview with three guys because well we're swell. Guys. Hey,

600
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: how would you feel about starting Mark Sanchez this week?

601
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: Because you know what, I feel pretty good. Actually, the

602
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: matchup is rather dicey against the Seahawks, who have been

603
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: tough on quarterbacks lately. Yeah, those quarterbacks have been Drew Stanton,

604
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, Eli, and Colin Kaepernick. So take that with

605
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: a grain of salt. The thing That seals it for

606
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: me is that the Eagles are at home and they

607
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: have Chip Kelly. If you give this coach ten days

608
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: the figure out of defense, I feel pretty comfortable with that. Plus,

609
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles are loaded with the kind of playmakers who

610
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: give the Seahawks fits. So start Sanchez. Moving on to

611
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: the running back position. I'm with Isaiah crow Weell. This week.

612
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: We left him on the bench against the Bills because

613
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: that defense is no joke. He's got the Colts this week,

614
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: who are a lot different out there on the road.

615
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: So you have this bruising running back going up against

616
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: an indoor team out there in the elements. Yes, I

617
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: like my chances here, So go ahead and play crow

618
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: Well with confidence. And finally, if you were in need

619
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: of a wide receiver, they I advocate Marquise Lee. He

620
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: was pretty good down in Dull and the Jags huge

621
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: win over the Giants on Sunday. He led the team

622
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: in receptions yards and he scored his first touchdown of

623
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: his NFL career. The budding bromance between him and Blake

624
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: Portals should continue to grow. Plus, the Texans are very

625
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: generous to opposing wide receivers, so I like Lee to

626
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: put out another positive stat line for your fantasy team

627
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: this week. And look, we go way back and I

628
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: owe you from the thing with a guy in the place,

629
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: and I'll never forget it. So if you need more sleepers,

630

Speaker 1: please go to NFL dot com slash ranks eleven see

631

632
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: of Tony Romo. While he struggled in his layoff pass,

633
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he'll struggle in your fantasy playoff. Future

Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live will be in Chicago previewing the game.

Speaker 1: damnit Check will brave the elements for you, the fans.

648
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: That's tomorrow. I went to the story yesterday. I got

649
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: the long John's I got it all over your Peter

650
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: Tom Willis Jersey. All right, let's dive right in, guys.

651
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: The quarterback situation will start with Tony Romo. Man, he

652
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: had an absolutely horrible game last week, just three points

653
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: versus Philly. What does he do on Thursday night? More

654
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: than three in this game? Because the Bears defense has

655
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: really struggled this year. When we're talking about quarterbacks, even

656
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: at home, and hey, everybody has a bad day. I

657
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: mean even Elliott Harrison has a bad hair day occasionally,

658
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: say so. Romo nine touchdown passes, no picks in his

659
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,959
Speaker 1: last three road games, and the Bears have given up

660
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks. They shear, I'm

661
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: starting Tony real more. Forget about last week. You know,

662
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: I like the matchup. The only concern I would have

663
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: is just if the weather is rainy like it could

664
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: be in Chicago. If it's cold and rainy, maybe they

665
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: go to to Marco Murray a little bit more. But

666
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: the matchup is fantastic this week, alright, So moving on,

667
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,719
Speaker 1: we stay in the NFC East. Eli Manning has been

668
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: one of the most boom or bus quarterbacks in fantasy

669
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: this year. Twenty three points versus the Boys, nine points

670
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: versus the Jags, boom or bus versus the Times this

671
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: week fapps, I don't like the matchup. And I know,

672
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: oh Rich Patrick and six touchdowns against Tennis last week,

673
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: but if you look at the numbers, the Titans have

674
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: been really tough on quarterbacks overall, especially on their home field.

675
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't like Eli Manning. This is the first week

676
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: of the Fantasy playoffs and you're telling me you want

677
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: to play Eli Manning. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to do that.

678
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: NFL that the numbers do not vote well the Titans

679
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: one touchdown pass in six of their last seven games

680
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: make you feel a little bit better. I don't think

681
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: a spectacular but I think he'll be He'll give you

682
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: some decent numbers this week because I think he's got

683
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: some decent weapons there. Odell Beckham has stepped up in

684
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: and been fantastic this week, and I think they're gonna

685
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: see some things on tape. With what the Texans did

686
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: last week, they can help them out a little bit.

687
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 1: Beckham can certainly be a deep threat, and we've seen

688
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: guys get involved. Ruben Randall's getting a little bit more involved,

689
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: Preston Parker has been getting more involved, and they're still larried.

690
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: Then now they even had Daniel felt there are there

691
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: are a lot more weapons in that offense. He's not

692
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: gonna be huge, he's not gonna be gangbusters, but I

693
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: think he gets you in the neighborhood. And you know,

694
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: the sixteen seventeen points this week, I'll take one. If

695
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: we're talking about the right things here, I mean, does

696
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: it really matter about the numbers? The bottom line is,

697
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: do you want to rely on Eli Manning to win

698
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: your Week four team playoff games? You're You're losing. You're

699
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: out now. If you're in James Co's position, I got

700
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez on the bench, you have to play him.

701
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: Here's the other question asked, have you ever seen a

702
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: Giants team mail it in at the end of the

703
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: year under Tom call new Ever, It's never happened. He's

704
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: been there ten years. So with that, I would say

705
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: if you have to play him. You can at least

706
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: hang your head on that. And the reason I picked

707
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: him up because look, Mark and Chance taken on the

708
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. Cannot trust the guy there, I know, so

709
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: I know he may have an okay match up there.

710
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: We saw him on ranks eleven as well. But listen,

711
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: man Eli Manning gets the Titans defense, which in my

712
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: estimation is one of the worst in the league. You know,

713
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: at least they're gonna get in the red zone. Maybe

714
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: they'll have more scoring opportunities there. All right, the next

715
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: question Matt Stafford versus the Bucks or Russell Wilson versus

716
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles. It's one of the most asked about questions

717
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: we saw on Fantasy Genius fabs. What do you do there?

718
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson all day long? Look at the matchup against Philadelphia.

719
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: This is a defense that has not been able to

720
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: stop the pass at all this year. I know Tony

721
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: Romwood didn't have a good game against him last week,

722
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: but this is a season long trend with Philadelphia. I'm

723
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: going to Russell Wilson, no questions asked. You know, I'm

724
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: actually gonna take the other side of this. Ledger. I

725
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: like for you, Russell Wilson does running the football. I

726
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: think they're both gonna have good games, that's my answer.

727
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: I could see it being Matt Stafford twenty two points

728
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson that kind of game, But I think Affords

729
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: gonna have a higher point total Staffords at home and

730
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,959
Speaker 1: controlled environmental conditions against a Tampa Bay team that, frankly guys,

731
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: is not very good and has absolutely zero to play for.

732
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: At this point, I'm going Russell Wilson in this one.

733
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: I think Elliot everything Elliott said certainly has some merit

734
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: to it. And this is not about This is not

735
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: about max ups, this is not about numbers. This is

736
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: about the fact that these Seahawks are making a push now.

737
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: They had that big game last week and they're starting

738
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: to get things together. And part of the way they

739
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: win is by Russell Wilson making plays. And it may

740
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: not be with his arm. Their wide receivers have been

741
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: very inconsistent, but the fact that he gets out of

742
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: the pocket, that he runs the football is what's going

743
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: to help get him over this quickly. Fabs who has

744
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 1: the higher ceiling in that matchup, Russell Wilson, Russell Wilson,

745
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: no question about it, and the higher floor because the

746
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: Bay's defense has played better recently. They're still lousy overall,

747
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: but recently they've been pretty good. Did you start James?

748
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: I would start Russell Wilson. I love the floor in

749
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: the fantasy playoffs, all right? We know the Redskins are

750
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: really struggling to get a w in the win column.

751
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: But can Colton McCoy still be a good Nessey quarterback

752
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: even in a loss? Is Colton McCoy a guy that

753
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to say can you trust? But can

754
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: you at least expect fifteen points out of the guy

755
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: this week? Fifteen? I guess I could give him fifteen,

756
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: but I think that's probably his ceiling. And this is

757
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: a tougher matchup this week. He played the Cowboys, we

758
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: know they haven't been very good, played the Colts last week,

759
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: throwing the ball a ton because they were behind the

760
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: whole game, so a lot of this was garbage time points.

761
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: And the matchup this week is not favorable. I mean,

762
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: the Rams are getting after it, Elliott, they really are.

763
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: I really think this is less on McCoy and more

764
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: on what the Rams UH front four can do against

765
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: the Redskins. Pass protection. If McCoy has time to throw,

766
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: I think he could have a field day against the

767
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: Rams secondary Nby has the time to throw. The one

768
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: thing that Colt McCoy is doing a lot better than

769
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: Cousins r G three day. Forget the yardage and the touchdowns.

770
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: He's not making the big mistakes, those dreaded negative twos

771
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: that can kill you in fantasy. I don't think he's

772
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of turnovers. So I think the

773
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: floor for McCoy is safe. Is the ceiling third points? No?

774
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: But is he going to give you a seven point? Uh?

775
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 1: Would you think? Yeah? You know, I'm down on quote

776
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: McCoy right now, just because he was the number three

777
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: quarterback for a reason. And I know there's all that that,

778
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, controversy between r G three and Kirk Cousins

779
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: and what it was going to be. But Colt McCoy

780
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: was never in that discussion. Until Griffin gets hurt and

781
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: struggles and then Cousins gets hurt. That's how he got

782
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: in this thing. And I think now that he's got

783
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: a couple of games on film, gonna be a lot

784
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: of guys scheme me to figure out where his weaknesses are.

785
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: What they can do to slow him down. So I'm

786
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: staying away, right. You know what I find interesting though

787
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: about Coulton McCoy. You're right, he's third string for a reason.

788
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: But also keep in mind he's a veteran. He's a veteran.

789
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: It sounds very odd to say. And r G three

790
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins as talented as both of those guys,

791
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: maybe they don't necessarily have that NFL experience, and I

792
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: do wonder if Colton McCoy can guide that shift in

793
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: the right direction. All right, for some bonus Week four

794
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: team quarterback discussions, be sure to head for the NFL

795
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: Now and you can check out NFL Now on your

798
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: Harrison and Michael Fabriano as well. All right, if you're

799
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: in your fantasy playoffs, the question is who can you trust?

800
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: Which Philip rivers will we see Sunday? Good to that?

801
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: What about Alfred Morris. We're gonna discuss potential fantasy heroes

802
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: and Zero's coming up next. Girls are pretty school? Where's

803
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: our first intercepted? And then it's Acre sh running right

804
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: right on the heart rual hole, a big rug on

805
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 1: Alfred Bart and throw jone. How did he catch that?

806
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: What's up everybody? It is that time of the year

807
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: when the moves and the players really matter because it's

808
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Playoffs. So who can we trust to deliver

809
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: big or drop a goose egg in the next coming weeks. Well,

810
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: let's talk about it, fabs. We're gonna begin with some

811
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 1: Fantasy Playoff heroes and Levian Bell, Mike Tomlins just gonna

812
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: keep feeding the beast, right he has been so hot

813
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: ever since they cut Legarrett because he is now the

814
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: featured back in Pittsburgh, not that he wasn't before, but

815
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: he's getting all the opportunities in that running game and

816
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: this week I absolutely love him. Great matchup on the horizon.

817
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: So if you have Levian Bell, ride them all the

818
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: way through to your fantasy championship getting the touches and

819
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: he's delivering Marcus. The Redskins have a favorable schedule down

820
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: the stretch and a new quarterback, so that's a nice

821
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: combo for Alfred Morris. It absolutely is Alfred Morris, You're

822
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: my hero right now. Guy coming up in the next

823
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: few weeks, you're talking about the Rams, the Giants, and

824
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles, all defenses that can be run against. And

825
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: with the situation the quarterback, I mean, right now it's

826
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy r G three hasn't been great, Kirk Cousins

827
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: had his struggle. At some point, Washington's gonna start to

828
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: lean on their running game and the best parties. The

829
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, Alfred Morris is actually getting goal

830
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 1: line touches. That's, of course when Therell Young you fails

831
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: to get in right exactly, but I'll take it. I

832
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: don't care. He's your heros and creepy. Remember that Panthers

833
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: defense was good. I do I feel like I should

834
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: sing we don't need another hero Ba turn. Feel like

835
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: coming on here, Drew Brees? Please? What don't we talk

836
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: about when you want to start a fantasy defense? We

837
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 1: say pick on the bad quarterback. When we pick a quarterback,

838
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: why not pick on the bad defense? Right? Carolinarew Brees

839
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: Carolina Chicago in Atlanta? That's your fantasy playoffs? I think

840
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: about that how that schedule lays out. So are you

841
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: saying that Drew Brees uh doesn't need to know the

842
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: way home? Wow? Michael family here. It'll give me in

843
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: all we get a private dancing. I honestly think Drew

844
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: Brees will be the high scoring quarterback this week against

845
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: that Carolina secondary that is just an absolute mess. Listen,

846
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna go from heroes to zero's guys. Which players

847
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: do you think won't be showing up for your fantasy

848
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: playoffs fans? Will? We'll start with you a man that

849
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: we don't know what to do with. This guy, Colin Captain. Listen,

850
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying that you can play him this week because

851
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: he's playing the Raiders and they have one of the

852
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: worst tasts in the entire league. But after that, Colin

853
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: Kaepernick needs to go to them on your bench or

854
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: maybe even cut them. So yeah, he's got the Raiders

855
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 1: this week, and he's got Seattle in Seattle, forget about

856
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: that one, and then the Chargers at home. So Kaepernick

857
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: is a guy that you can play this week. Across

858
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: your fingers, say your prayers, each your vitamins, whatever Hull

859
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: Hogan reference you want to make there, and then after

860
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: that Kaepernick straight to the bench. Come on, I think

861
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: you should have only read the first line what's up

862
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: your notes, because that's all Colin Kaepernick does is his

863
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: first read? Elliott, how about the Cardinals? We know, uh,

864
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: Andrea Ellington dealing with the hit pointer issue right now?

865
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: Is there anybody on the Cardinals offense we can trust? No? Man?

866
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: Their schedule stinks. I mean it is so bad. They

867
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: play the Chiefs this week, and they have the Rams,

868
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: and they have the Seahawks. And if you're one of

869
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: those fantasy leagues that you play week seventeen first of

870
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: all and second of all, got the forty Niners, you know,

871
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean, does any team have a more brutal schedule

872
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: for its offense coming up? And as you mentioned, Ellington

873
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,439
Speaker 1: playing her Cardinals averaging three point one yards per carry

874
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: this weekend? Hey, is Drew Stanton listened? Any confidence? And

875
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 1: you guys negative? That would be a negative philip rivers?

876
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: What philip rivers are we gonna see it? We can

877
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: see the good one the bad one. Well, I'm not

878
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: optimistic about seeing the good one. And you know, Elliott asked,

879
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: does anybody have a rougher playoff schedule? I don't know

880
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: if anybody does, but the Chargers might be close. When

881
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: you look at the Patriots, the Broncos and the forty Niners.

882
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: That's not very good. And we saw Philip Vers be

883
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: so good at the start of the season, really bad

884
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: midway through the season. He had a nice revival last

885
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: week against the Ravens. Secondary that's been pretty bad this year.

886
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: The rest of the way, it is not going to

887
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: be easy. Plus, who saw the Chargers have this history

888
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: of really struggling down the stretch and I know it

889
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: never happens right in San Diego. Ryan Matthews, that is

890
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: the stink eye that I'm giving you by the way

891
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: out the side and having a game last week, but

892
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: it was all based on that White touchdown. I just

893
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: don't trust him. Good matchup this week against the Patriots, book,

894
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: and he has tough matchups against the Broncos and the

895
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: forty Niners. As Marcus said, so, Ryan Matthews is a

896
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: guy that you're not gonna be able to trust moving

897
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: through the playoffs. All Right, there you go for Marcus, Molly, Elliott,

898
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: and Fams. I'm James co. We're out of here for today,

899
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: but listen, we've got something special in store for you

900
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: for tomorrow. NFL Fantasy Live is gonna be live from

901
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: Chicago's to give you a full Thursday Night football preview.

902
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: Tune in tomorrow at five pm Eastern, two p Pacific,

903
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: right here on NFL net where my cousin Tim's watching

904
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: the show. We picked up a new
