1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Thursday, October twenty sixth, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me and

3
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: your man, MG Marcus Grant with my guy Michael f Florio.

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: We are previewing the late Sunday games plus the Monday

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: night matchup, and we're giving you our Week eight fantasy heroes.

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: We have the Browns and the Seahawks. We continue our

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: game preview. No Jerome Ford, no Deshaun Watson, but there's

8
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: plenty of Miles Garrett and that really tough Browns defense,

9
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: even if they gave up a whole bunch of yards

10
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: and points to the Colts last week. So what do

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: we do with any of our Seahawks against this very

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: good Browns defense.

13
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: I think you could get away from them this week.

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: Like I had Geno Smith as a sit, Tyler Lockett

15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: I have in a lot of leagues, and a lot

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: of them I'm sitting him. He has two games only

17
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: this season with more than double digit fantasy points. Every

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: other game he's in single digits. And then even like

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf, if he was to play this week, we

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: have to monitor his practice report and stuff. I was

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: surprised when I looked at his game log, like, yeah,

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: he's been in double digits every week, but we have

23
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: not seen the big blow up DK game.

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 3: Tyler.

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Geno Smith is top sixteen Fantasy points once

26
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: all year, Like this passing attack is just not what

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: it was last year. And then the Browns are one

28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: of the toughest matchups, so I actually think you can

29
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: get away.

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: It's starting to look like last year was kind of

31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: that magical season for Gino.

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 3: And it's not that he's been awful.

33
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: He's just been kind of meh most of the year,

34
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: and I think that is enough reason to kind of

35
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: get away from those guys. It hurts my heart to

36
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: say that Tyler Lockett is somebody that you can bench,

37
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: because I'm a stand for Tyler Lockett. I have been

38
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: for years, but he really is just not producing right now.

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: And on top of it, you mentioned some of the

40
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: big names that are kind of not doing a lot.

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: Now.

42
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: They're starting to integrate Jackson Smith in JIGBA, and Jake

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: Bobo is getting I mean, it's it's fun to say

44
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Jake Bobo. It's just a fun name to say, Jake Bobo.

45
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: But he's starting to get more opportunities now in this offense.

46
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: So now you're spreading the ball out to even more

47
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: guys with an offense that's not producing a lot through

48
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: the air, it's hard to imagine. Maybe you get Kenneth

49
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: Walker in your lineup just because he's getting volume and

50
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to get away from him. But even that,

51
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: I just don't love the matchup against Cleveland this week

52
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: at all.

53
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: Ravens at the Cardinals.

54
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: So on one side, you got Gus Edwards and Justice

55
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: Hill and maybe Keaton Mitchell. On the other side, you've

56
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: got a Maari de Mercado and maybe Keyante Ingram, maybe

57
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: Damian Williams. Can we trust any of these running backs

58
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 1: considering no teams run a bye this week.

59
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: I would not want to. I like I have Gus said.

60
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: I think Gus Edwards is a running back that like

61
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: you want on your bench, you plug in in the

62
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: right spot and there's a week where there's a lot

63
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: of players on BAI or something like that. But I

64
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: know he's coming off of a big game, but in one, two,

65
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: three to four games prior, he's less than seven Fantasy points,

66
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: just as Hill. I mean, you're just hoping for a touchdown,

67
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: he never goes over sixty yards and then on the

68
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: other side, like, yeah, I know, de Mercado two out

69
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: of the three weeks without James Conner looks like the

70
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: back that we could trust. But this might just be

71
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: situational matchup.

72
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 3: Week to week.

73
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: We could see this be a Keante Ingram week. I

74
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: don't know so especially I don't want to play that

75
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: game against the Ravens defense with Like I said, no

76
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: teams on by I'm trying to get away from all

77
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: of the running backs in this in this game.

78
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want I want no part of the Cardinals

79
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 1: backfield this year or this week. Rather against the Ravens.

80
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: I had somebody ask me said he needed two and

81
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: a half point PPR. It was Deontay Foreman, Remandre Stevenson,

82
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: Najie Harris, or Gus Edwards. In that scenario, I actually

83
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: did go with Edwards as one of the two guys.

84
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: So it really is situational. Depends on who your backs are.

85
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: But considering you likely have your full complement of running backs,

86
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: you could probably get away from all the guys in

87
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: this game and be okay. Probably have other options somewhere

88
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: else on your roster. Chiefs at the Broncos. We saw

89
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: this game a couple weeks ago on Thursday Night Football

90
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, and Denver played really well and played

91
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs really really tough. Of course, Denver coming off

92
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: that win last week against the Packers, the Chiefs defense

93
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: has been very good this year. Would you start any

94
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: Broncos in this matchup?

95
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 3: I don't want to start Russ.

96
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: I don't want to start the running backs because they're

97
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: kind of eating off of each other's plate right now.

98
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 2: There's not a tight end there you want to start.

99
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: Just ask Steve Smith if you should be starting Jerry

100
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: Judy or not. I think Courtland Sutton is the only

101
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 2: Bronco that is in play, and even he I'm not

102
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: super bullish over, but he does have eleven or more

103
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: fantasy points in all but one game this year. Got

104
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: fourteen point six, the first a couple weeks ago against

105
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 2: the Chiefs when he had a really nice touchdown catch.

106
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: And that's the thing. He has five touchdown catches this year.

107
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: He is under fifty yards and more than half his

108
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: in half his games this year, or more than half,

109
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: so the floor isn't very low like if he doesn't

110
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: catch a touchdown and we're potentially talking about him getting

111
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: you six to seven fantasy points something like that. But

112
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: he has been the guy they like to go to

113
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: in the red zone and in the end zone. So

114
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: because of that, I think he's an option. I'm looking

115
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: at Sutton's weekly yardage totals. It's thirty two, yeah, sixty six,

116
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: all right, ninety one yay, twenty seven h thirteen gross

117
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 2: forty six seventy six last week, And you're right, the

118
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: touchdowns have sort of kept him afloat in terms of

119
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: his fantasy production. I again, no team's on a buy.

120
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: It's just easy to sort of pivot. I think at

121
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: this point. Look, I know the book's not closed on

122
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: Jerry Judy's career by any shot, but I think at

123
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: this point he is kind of a jag. He's kind

124
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: of just a guy at this point. As much as

125
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: I would love to roll.

126
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: With Julia McLoughlin or Javonte Williams, the fact that Samij

127
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: p Ryan is still working in there. You know, we

128
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: say it all the time. A two man backfield we

129
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: can navigate, we can figure out how to get through.

130
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: A three man backfield is a nightmare. And that's what

131
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: the Broncos have right now, so stay away from Minnie

132
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: Broncos this week Bengals at the.

133
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: Forty nine Ers.

134
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: Really interesting matchup because the Bengals started off slowly, their

135
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: offense didn't look great. The Niners the opposite. They started

136
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: off on fire. They've lost two in a row. Cincinnati

137
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: coming off the buy in theory, everybody's a little bit healthier.

138
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: Do we see something close to what we consider to

139
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: be the real Bengals offense this week?

140
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: I'm choosing to believe that we will. Obviously, there's not

141
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: a whole lot to go with it because we're talking

142
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: about are they getting healthy? But Joe Burrow did look

143
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 2: healthier his final two games before the bye. He was

144
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 2: running more, scrambling a bit able to really move around

145
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: and avoid pressure in the pocket, whereas he was a

146
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 2: complete statue early on t Higgins, I know he's getting healthier.

147
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 2: He's been so really down this year that I don't

148
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: think he is a must start. But I want to

149
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: start Joe Burrow. I want to start Jamar Chase. I

150
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: think you probably have to roll with Joe Mixon in

151
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: a lot of spots, But Higgins, it depends on your option.

152
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: It's not a must sit, but definitely not a must start.

153
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: But we've just saw the Niners get lit up by

154
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins and the Vikings passing attack is the Bengals,

155
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: I think are even better than that.

156
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: So I do think we're going to see the Bengals.

157
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: It's something close to full strength now, right because everybody's

158
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: had that opportunity to rest. Joe Burrow was starting to

159
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: get healthier. He was starting, as you mentioned, to move

160
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: around a little bit better. I do think Joe Mixon

161
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: has a decent opportunity this week because whereas early in

162
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: the season you couldn't run on the forty nine ers, the.

163
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 3: Last two weeks teams have found some holes on.

164
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: The ground, like the Vikings struggle in general to run

165
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: the ball, but they did pick up some yards in chunks,

166
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: especially early in that game. The week before, the Browns

167
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: ran the ball effectively, So I wouldn't be surprised if

168
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon has a decent day. I think this could

169
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: be a really high scoring contest between these two teams,

170
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: speaking as a you know, speaking that as an analyst,

171
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: but as a forty nine er fan, very worried that

172
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: the Niners could drop a third game in a row.

173
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: I still think they're a good team. They're just a

174
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: good team that's in a lump right now. But it

175
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: should be a lot of fun to watch. But I

176
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: would feel confident in starting the Bengals because I think

177
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: I think they're starting to get right at this point.

178
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 3: Speaking of getting.

179
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: Right, Sunday Night football, the Bears next door at SOFI

180
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: Stadium taking on the Chargers is to say, get right

181
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: spot for Austin Eckler, who really hasn't been great since

182
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: he's come back from that ankle injury.

183
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: I really hope so and I think it will be one.

184
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: I think that this is too big of a game,

185
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: and really the Chargers need as many wins now as

186
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: they could start to pile up. So I'm hoping that

187
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks now removed from injury, that we

188
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: start to see Austin Eckler not only get the full

189
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: workload that we're used to seeing, but just look more

190
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: like Austin Eckler.

191
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 3: And then it is the Bears.

192
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: I know they've been better as of late against the run,

193
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: but they still have allowed these seventh most fantasy points

194
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: per game two running backs, and he's Austin Eckler, like

195
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: I think the Chargers will have a lead and hopefully

196
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: that means lots of Eckler down the stretch.

197
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: I think they've just got to get him involved.

198
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: I think they've got to do something to sort of

199
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: juice that offense, especially because look, they're not winning games,

200
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: and on top of it, Justin Herbert has been inconsistent.

201
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: He's missing some throws and some big spots. But I

202
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: think you get him some easy throws to Austin Eckler,

203
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: you move the chains that way, you get another weapon

204
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: going in that offense.

205
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: That's only going to help.

206
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: So I do think that you're gonna see Eckler sort

207
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: of get closer to where we want him to be.

208
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: It's been frustrating for the last couple of weeks. Trust me,

209
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: as somebody who drafted Austin Eckler in a lot of spots,

210
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: I want to see him get going. But the fewer

211
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: than sixty five total yards in each of the last

212
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: two games. Last game of the week Monday Night Football

213
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: in Detroit the Raiders, who had a frustrating, upsetting loss.

214
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: At least if you're a Raider fan to the Bears.

215
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Last week in Tyson Bagent going against the Lions, who

216
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: just got their doors kicked in by the Baltimore Ravens. Look,

217
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: the Lions defense got run over last week by Baltimore,

218
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: but for the most part they have been very good

219
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: this season. Can trust Josh Jacobs, who, at least from

220
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: a rushing standpoint, is kind of scuffling this year? Can

221
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: we trust him against the Lions? And can we trust

222
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders wide receivers at least at this point. Not

223
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: knowing who the quarterback's going.

224
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: To be, Yeah, I'm hoping it's Aidan O'Connell because it

225
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: was rough last week having to watch Brian Hoyer. Plus

226
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're gonna get reps for one of these,

227
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: let it be the young kid and not the guy

228
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: who's on his way out of the league.

229
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: But I think you have to.

230
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: Start Josh Jacobs just on volume alone. I understand it

231
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: is a really tough matchup. The Lions are great against

232
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: the run. They have allowed the third fewest Fantasy points

233
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: to opposing running backs. But Jacobs is their rushing attack.

234
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: He's going to get used in the passing game. Running

235
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: back thins out, especially right now after the top twelve

236
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: to fifteen that I highly doubt you have two better

237
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: options than him. And regardless of who the quarterback is,

238
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Adams and Jacoby Myers each saw at least

239
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 2: twelve targets last week. I think that is enough where

240
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: you have to start them. But again, I would feel

241
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: much better about it if it was O'Connell or even

242
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: Jimmy G. Yeah.

243
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'll take Jimmy G. I'll take Aidan O'Connell.

244
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: In that case, I'll start. I mean, you're starting Devonte

245
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: Adams anyway, but i'd start Jakobe Myers if it's one

246
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: of those other two guys. If it's Brian Hoyer, I'm

247
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: gonna sort of reevaluate, and.

248
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

249
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: You're you're starting Josh Jacobs because there's just volume there.

250
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: There's nobody else that's really getting opportunity in that Raider backfield,

251
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: and even for Jacob's being ineffective running the football, he's

252
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: getting a lot of targets and so that sort of

253
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: keeps his value afloat.

254
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 3: So I think he's worth starting there.

255
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: And the Raiders may have to score some points in

256
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: this one and throw the football if they're gonna keep

257
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: in this game with that Lion's offense. Gonna step away

258
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 1: for a quick break. Stick around for more of the

259
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's time to see who will deliver?

260
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: Presented by Uber Eats. We're talking about the guys who

261
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: are going to kpe up for us this week and

262
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: help lead us to a victory. And you sort of

263
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: tease who your fantasy hero is going to be this week.

264
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm wearing their colors too. It's well, kind of

265
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: off color of theirs. But Breeze Hall, because he's amazing.

266
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: Since they took the training wheels off of him and

267
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: took him off the snap count, he is averaging twenty

268
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: four point four fantasy points per game, and one of

269
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: those games came against the Eagles, who are the toughest

270
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: matchup for running backs statistically this season. No other running

271
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: back has gotten fifteen fantasy points against him. They just

272
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: shut down Raheem Mostered and that amazing Dolphins backfield. Well,

273
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: Breeze Hall went for over twenty against them, and now

274
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: he gets the Giants, who allowed the second most rushing yards,

275
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: third most rushing touchdowns. Breze Hall is also the pass

276
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: catching back for the Jets, and I don't think I

277
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: think This could be a positive game script for him

278
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: where the Jets have a lead and are just relying

279
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: on him to grind out the clock, and if he

280
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: gets enough touches, you're gonna see runs like this if

281
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: you're watching the video show, where he is just taking

282
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: them sixty plus yards.

283
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: All right, So Breeze Hall is going to be wielding

284
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: one of the rings of power. I'm gonna say, Lamar Jackson,

285
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: and we saw him go big last week against the

286
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: Lions defense. Now he gets at least what's on paper,

287
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: a much easier test against the Cardinals defense Arizona, which

288
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: has been feisty all year long. That's the adjective we

289
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: keep using for them. Look, they're still not very good.

290
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: They're giving up big plays, They're giving up a lot

291
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: of plays in the passing game, and they gave up

292
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: a pretty big game rushing to Daniel Jones, who's the

293
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: best running quarterback they have faced to this point in

294
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: the season. Jones had fifty one yards and a touchdown

295
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: on the ground. Lamar Jackson, for the record, leads all

296
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in rushing yards. He is second behind Jalen Hurts

297
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: in rushing touchdowns at the position. So I think Lamar

298
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: does it with his arm, he does it with his legs.

299
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: This offense is starting to click in a major way

300
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson is going to be your fantasy hero.

301
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 3: In Week eight.

302
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: That was Who Will Deliver, presented by Uber Eats, where

303
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: you can get almost almost anything, the official on demand

304
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: delivery partner of the NFL. Order.

305
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 3: Now that's a good place for us to land. This

306
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: is plain. I was gonna just wrap it up for

307
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: this edition, and we had it. We are done.

308
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

309
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 3: You know the drill.

310
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review and

311
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: remember people say nothing is impossible, but a lot of

312
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,600
