What's happening man, Greggy? 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.399 Happy Friday to you. Nice little game last night. Well, 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.440 it depends which side you were on a uh and 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.120 whether or not you had Cam Newton or O. J. 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:45.720 Howard in your lineup? Greg, had you sleep? I didn't 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.240 sleep great because you had Cam Newton in your lineup? Right? 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.320 True story. First thing, when I walked in today, we 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.040 started talking about the game. Greg says, I got a 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.320 little monologue that I want to deliver when it comes 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.080 to cam Newton have a cool things. I want to 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:03.160 say fair enough, by the way, I actually have breaking news. 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.040 You're not gonna like this. Actually you are gonna like this. Okay, alright, 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.760 i'd like to I don't like it at all. You're ready, 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.520 I'm ready. James White not expected to play on Sunday. 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:18.920 That really popped up child. Oh alright, so fire up 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:25.840 your Lottavious Murray, Rex Birkhead, Greg veryty sneaky, very sneaky, 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.800 Sony Michelle game incoming apps A freaking liutely shouldna pp 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.800 Rex Burkhead in the league. I feel like I should. Uh, 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.600 if you were depending on James White or you need 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.480 a flex, then yeah, probably we can deal with a 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.760 two bad committee in New England. We cannot deal with 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.640 a three back committee in New England, which is a 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.440 lot of what we saw on week one. So when 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.639 we get that limited down to two like we saw 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.560 for a lot of last year, and there was only 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.320 two when it was just Sony Michelle and James White, 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.000 those guys were eating together. So if there's no James 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.560 White this weekend, that actually is huge news. I think 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.440 Rex Birkhead bumps up into a flex discussion. So Evenchelle 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.720 RB two, all right, there you go, all right, let 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.240 me get into my rafts. Very interesting. We'll set ourlad 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.240 up during the break um in regards to James White. 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.280 But I know, we like to use a lot of analytics, 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.680 and we try to measure performance and we try to 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:19.760 project out. But a lot of times we also judged 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.600 by the eye test last year when Jamal Williams is 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.200 consistently just running into the Backson's offensive linemen, where like 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:30.360 Aaron Jones looks better. When we watched Tampa Bay last week, 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.840 we're like, wow, Ronald Jones needs more carries because he 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:38.720 looks better. Sometimes coaches listen to us Aaron Jones. Sometimes 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:44.240 they don't Ronald Jones. Last night, Well, just watching an 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.240 entire game last night, and I get it. On Sunday, 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.720 there's so many games you can't sit and watch everyone. 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.680 And yes you can go back and watch, but not 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.280 the same last night. All of America, myself included, watch 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:59.080 the Panthers and the Buccaneers stink it up for three 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:03.680 hours last night. And the conclusion that I got that 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:08.960 I made from last night, Cam Newton sucks like I 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:14.200 get slow starts I get not being healthy. This dude 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:20.120 last night sucked. He cannot throw because his shoulder is 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:24.320 not strong enough. He cannot move because his foot is 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.520 not strong enough. The Cam Newton that you're used to 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.279 running down the middle of the field for thirty yards, 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:34.400 he's dead. Forget that Cam Newton. I want a guy 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.080 that's able to just roll out or roll away from 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.359 pressure and able to then hit his receiver in strine. 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.120 He can't do either of those things. He can't hit 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.960 his receiver and he can't escape pressure. There's a lot 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.840 of talk about the brutal offensive line of Carolina last night, 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:57.240 particularly left tackled Darryl Williams. Yeah, he's stunk, but normally 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.279 Cam Newton makes people miss. He ducks out of the way, 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.640 he scrambles to his right, to his left. He couldn't 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.000 do that last night. Four different times his team had 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.880 third and one or fourth and one, not a single time. 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.159 Then he's just given a Cam new enough the gut. 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.120 They let him roll out and he couldn't move. He 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.960 fumbled the ball, came on the line fourth and inches. 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.920 What did they do? They ran a shrink play. It's 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.359 Cam freaking Newton, your goal line back who's had double 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:31.800 digit touchdowns before rushing the football? What did they do 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:36.280 a shotgun formation where Cam? Where Cam Newton was split 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:42.160 out wide? What is wrong with Norm Turner? What is 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:48.120 wrong with Cam Newton? Answer? He's hurt. Yes, Also he sucks. 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:53.440 He sucks. For everybody that asked us this week, do 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.279 I start Josh Allen or do I start Cam Newton? 0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.560 Frank correctly answered the question, you start Josh Allen. I 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.599 incorrectly answered the question by saying you start Cam Newton. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.840 If you just watch the game and use your eyes 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:12.960 last night, you will understand he can't throw, he can't run, 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:19.120 he can't move. He sucks. Now, all that last play call, 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.240 if you weren't gonna give the ball to Cam Newton, 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.400 I agree, you give the ball to Christian McCaffrey, who 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.200 had no room at all last night. And I will 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.120 say this, I said it this morning. Also, if that 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.280 play works, North Turner is a genius. If it doesn't, 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.080 he's a moron. So everyone calling him a moron today 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:36.880 I get it. Say it could be said for the 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.960 Philly Specialist Super Bowl. If that play doesn't work, the 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.880 Peterson is a moron. It worked, and now it's legendary, 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.000 So I don't kill it that much when you have 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.760 Cam Newton that just needs to use his massive two 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.560 fifty pound frame just to get an inch. Come on, 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.560 man and the Tampa on the Tampa base side of things. 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:58.960 And you thought Jameis Winson is gonna take this next 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.680 step under Bruce Arron ends he's not. You know why 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:07.719 he sucks too. He's a game manager. Chris Godwin, great call, 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.800 Frank greater sign Mike Evans last night. Very true. You 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.920 know what the bad call was, O J. Howard? He 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.680 doesn't suck. Well, Bruce Arians doesn't use the tight end. 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.640 I'm trying to tell everybody this all summer that these coaches, 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.320 especially the older ones, are stubborn. They're going to do 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:30.120 what they do. We have said all summer long. O J. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.360 Howard's roll in this offense is only going to be 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:37.320 something because he's talented. Well, you know what, Bruce Arians 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:41.000 doesn't care. He's gonna run his system. Last night he 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.480 read his system. How many targets did he have? Frank 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:48.320 zero zero? Because Bruce Arians doesn't care about the tight end. 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.559 This is what I learned last night, Frank, Bruce Arians 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.000 doesn't care about kids. Either. Apparently O. J. Howard has 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.080 a campaign where he will give a hundred dollars to 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.000 a organization for kids for every catch he has this year. 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.760 We're not getting a lot of money for kids. I 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.040 guess that's last night's game. Phrases. Have a chance to opine. 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.320 When we come back, we'll let you know about everything 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:17.520 from this Sunday. It's the ground.

Proudly made in America. 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.240 Would you have Jamison Crowder higher than I personally do? Actually, 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.600 I think I have them a little lower. I think 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.559 I have them at forty one for the week. I 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.800 have Robby Anderson right now ahead of him, but with 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:59.800 all his news that came out today, I'll probably push 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:01.880 him down and behind him. If Sam Donna was playing 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.480 to be completely different, but he's not. I don't know 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.240 what Trevis Semi is going to do until I see 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.160 what's going on here. Is living Belgna play is gonna 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.000 be limited. Don't want to be be downgrading old my jets here, 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.920 not really wanting to start anybody in the Green Watch 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.400 Live week Day wanted to be an Eastern on Sumo 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:26.839 TV Each and seven nineteen. Back with you, b ff s, 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.480 Ranky Stamford, Gregs know why did I bet Is on 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.920 for e Y last night? In that league? He had 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.120 Carolina defense. I believe that is correct. I was upset 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.480 when they got the safety. I also was upset. These 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.560 things are going great. They had two points and I was, ah, 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.040 this is great. Yeah, they ended up with six and 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.240 they had sixers of the safety. Yeah, could have gotten 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:48.680 off to a better start. But it's fine. We're still 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.080 projected to win. It's still a good spot. Just updated 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.439 the line up. We got latation and over James White. 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.760 Let's go TBFF. I think this is this is the 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:00.640 right line up. Yeah, Aaron Jones against Minnesota, do you 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.679 want to Yeah, there's nothing else we could do. And 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.480 Barbara on our bench. That wasn't great. Great, we got 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.080 a lot to talk about. Let's go all right, let's 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.079 let's let's do anything you want to say the game 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:15.440 because now you hit on pretty much everything. Yeah, they 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.280 did look good and there was so many yards left 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.040 on the field. I thought Cam Newton could have ended 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.040 up with five passing yards in this game. If he 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.640 hits Curtis Samuel in stride, that's like a seventy yard touchdown. 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.480 He underthrew him on that play. He also underthrew Curtis 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.200 Samuel in the red zone when that could have been 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.400 a touchdown. But overall, you Curtis Samuel, I thought it 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.760 looked really good. So did d J. Moore, given everything 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.079 that's going on with Cam Newton. P J. Moore twenty 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.640 four targets in his first two games. But you said 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.439 it perfectly right, Greg, Cam Newton first two games the 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.560 scene season minus two rushing yards to the first two games. 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.480 In a game where his shoulder clearly did not look 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.440 right and he had off season shoulder surgery, he threw 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:56.360 the ball fifty one times and completed less than fifty 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.120 percent of his passes against the Tampa Bay Bucks defense. 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.800 I will give credit where it's due. Um. The Bucks 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.960 defense has looked better. They brought the house. You know, 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:09.000 they got to the quarterback shack. Barrett played well. Vernon 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.600 Hargraves made the stop when they needed to. So shout 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.360 out to the Bucks defense. They're playing well. Ronald Jones, 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.120 who that doesn't matter overall, I want to see more 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.640 from Mike Evans. Perfect by locan, did it right now? 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.959 And yes, I am officially worried about O. J. Howard. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.280 That's everything, all right, there we go. Let's get in 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:25.559 now to this week. I know you guys have a 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.400 lot of questions, uh inside our our YouTube chat. They 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.040 tweeted at us all week. We're trying to answer as 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:31.920 made as we can. Kind of while going through these 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.720 games are random. Names is Frank and he'll, you know, 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.360 kind of hopefully answer the question. Let me start with 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.959 San Francisco and Cincinnati. Uh, Joe Mixon, he's expected to 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.240 play practice today, went through the walk through. He looks 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.040 good to go. He talked a lot on the fan 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.439 to will hurry up about San Francisco and Jimmy g 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.560 in a good spot. He's very high. He's jim SNAs 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.520 on Matt Breeder this week. How do you like Matt 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.040 Breida and San Francisco. I like Matt Breeda as a 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.760 top twenty four running back in this matchup. The Bengals 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.520 did allow just sixty four rushing yards last week against 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.960 Chris Carson, but they did allow obviously a rushing and 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.839 receiving touchdown to Chris Carson. So I'm looking at Matt 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.680 Brida as a top twenty four running back in this matchup, Greg, 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.800 I think where he mostart is a low end flex. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.360 You know, I don't know that i'd want to trust 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:17.959 him right away, but if you are desperate, I understand 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.320 maybe you lost to James White or something like that. Um, 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.120 I do think that it's probably gonna be a one 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.400 A and one B split between Matt Brita and rah 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.600 He Mostard in this matchup going up against the Bengalis, 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.800 rather star where he mostar to Giovanni Bernard same game. 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.760 If Joe makes him plays, I'll go with Mostard, okay 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.200 on the on the Cincinnati side. And while we're talking 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.960 about Joe Mixon versus Gio Bernard, I just wish that 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.840 Joe Mixon would sit out because I think that with 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.160 him being questionable, I don't think he's gonna be by 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.480 the time Sunday comes. I think he's gonna do just 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.920 enough where you're not gonna feel good about starting him 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.280 because he'll probably get like ten to twelve touches and 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.440 how effective will he be in those touches? And then 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.880 probably the same thing for Giovanni Bernard. So it would 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.000 just be best for everyone if Joe Mixon would say 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.520 it out and then we can play Giovanni Bernard as 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.120 that you know, high end RB two. Absolutely. I well, 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.280 I'm excited. I'm watching this game to find out if 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.120 John Ross could do it two games in a row. 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.960 That's what I'm looking forward to Detroit and Los Angeles. 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.280 I said it before the Detroit Lions felt like they 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.160 lost last week despight tying against Arizona. They take a 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.640 Charger's team that's just been battered by injuries, Man Hunter, 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:23.120 Henry Mike Williams on top of Melvin Gordon's hold out. Well, 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.240 it is making a little bit clear what to expect. 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.200 A lot of Boston Ekeler, a lot. We already passed 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.960 the forty Niners and Bengals game. I said, Cincinnati, and 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.480 you didn't say anything. Oh I. I didn't wanted to 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.000 talk about John Ross because they know a lot of 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:35.920 people are gonna have that question. I have him as 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.800 a low end wide receiver. Three this week, boom er 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.120 Bus going up against Richard Sherman, who did allow a 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.360 touchdown in coverage last week, And I saw this on Twitter. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.560 They have the biggest disparity in forty times. Obviously, Richard 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.160 Sherman ran his forty a long time ago, but he's older. 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.160 I think there's a chance that John Ross can actually 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.400 get behind the defense here as well. So we know 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:54.920 what he is. It's boom er buss, but you know, 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:56.920 as a low end wide receiver. Three. I actually have 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.680 John Ross ranked the highest of all the wide receivers 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:03.160 that were picked up this week, ahead of Hollywood Brown, 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:10.720 ahead of Terry McLaurin, ahead of Nicole Hardman Los Angeles Detroit. Yeah, 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.760 so I don't know. This is kind of a weird game. 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.800 I don't really want to trust either of the quarterbacks 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.240 in this game. Obviously, Philip Rivers is going to be 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.640 without Hunter Henry, he still has Keenan Allen. I expect 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.960 Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler to get a ton of 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.320 targets in this matchup, because who else are they gonna 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.960 throw the ball to. Mike Williams did practice today on 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.240 a limited basis, but even if he goes, I don't 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:35.400 expect him to be and they don't have much depth there, 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.600 you know, outside of Keenan Allen. If Mike Williams doesn't play. 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.200 They have dontrelle Inman, they have Travis Benjamin, so I 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.240 think we get a big dosage of Keenan Allen who 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.480 lines up. You know, last week he played about fifty 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:49.640 of his snap snaps on the outside in the slot, 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.800 so when he's out on the outside, it's probably gonna 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.640 see Darius Slay. I would expect the Chargers to try 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.680 and use Keenan Allen more in the slot this week. 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.160 Obviously you're still starting him if you're using him, and 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.800 if you're playing in d FS. Uh. Austin Ekeler just 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:04.959 looks like he's in a prime time spot here going 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.480 up against Detroit, who just got torched by David Johnson 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.240 a week ago Greg for a receiving touchdown. So Austin 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.840 Ekeler again for DFS. I haven't ranked as a top 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.160 five running back heading into this week. On Detroit side 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.600 of things, I'm not really into Kenny Galladay as much 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.240 as I was last week. I have him as a 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.560 high end wide receiver three, just because now I think 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.119 Detroit they still want to run the football, Greg, but 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.760 I think they have four legitimate pass catchers now with 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.840 Marvin Jones, t J. Hockenson, Kenny Galladay, and Danny Amendola. 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.240 I think projecting target share is are gonna gonna be 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.560 a little bit tougher on a weekly basis for Detroit now, 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.359 and Kenny Gollady is gonna be matched up with Casey Hayward, 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.720 who you know predominantly plays on the outside. That's where 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.040 Casey Hayward is gonna match up opposite him. So you know, 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:50.400 Kenny Gollady, we drafted him as a solid wide receiver too, 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.399 maybe lowend wide receiver two, but he's more of a 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.120 high end wide receiver three for me this week, Greg, 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.440 anything else here, I guess t J. Hockenson, if you 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.320 picked him up, you're probably playing him. I have him 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.680 as a top ten Teja Hockinson or Darren Waller this 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:03.120 week that she tied and you picked up, I would 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:04.879 go with Darren Waller. Would you go with t J. 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.480 Hockenson or Vernon Davis? Jordan Reid ruled out for the 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.200 Washington Redskins as the game will get your next there's 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.040 a good question. I move Vernon Davison side my top 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.240 twelve at tight end, but I have t J. Hockenson 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.280 as my Titan eight on the week one spot behind O. J. Howard, 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:21.000 which I'm sure he's gonna outscore I hope. So Washington 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:24.240 and Dallas is up next, as we said at one o'clock, 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.360 and Frank you and I were just having a conversation 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.680 downstairs when we heard that Jordan Reid was ruled out. 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.359 He said, Bernon Davis is gonna eat against Dallas because 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.440 you look at Evan Ingram Dan. I'm like, listen, giants 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.080 had nobody else to throw, do they don't Again, we'll 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.760 get to that in just a second. But Vernon, Davis, 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.160 Terry McLaurin, Paul Richardson, Tray Quinn, there are weapons here 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.520 with Washington on the Dallas side, same can be said. 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.280 I know Mark Cooper still banged up with this foote, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.439 which I think it will be all season long. Uh, 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.680 Michael Gallup, look good, look really really good, I thought 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.640 last week against the Giants. And then you have um 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:55.479 the running game where z E. Eliot will be back 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.120 to normal, Adrian Peterson gonna get the start for Washington. 0:18:58.280 --> 0:18:59.919 A lot to unpack here in this game. How do 0:18:59.920 --> 0:19:03.320 you see it breaking down? Yeah, So let's start off 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.200 with Washington and Vernon and Davis, He's probably the player 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:08.359 that I like most in the past game this week 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.200 for Washington. We saw him score the touchdown last week. 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:13.399 It was a really emotional game for Vernon Davis. Believe 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.040 he lost his grandfather either earlier that morning or over 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.919 the weekend. But overall, he could still play man. I 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:20.800 don't care if this guy's in his mid thirties. If 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.119 you saw that touchdown that Vernon Davis had against Philly, 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.320 that was a really, really impressive play. And Evan Ingram 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.480 just eight against the Dallas Cowboys. So I think that 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.800 this is a matchup that Washington can actually exploit because 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.480 the Cowboys have a really, really good secondary. So I 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:37.919 think Terry McLaren could actually struggle in this matchup. I 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.720 do like McLaurin over Trey Quinn if I had to 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.119 decide between one of the wide receivers here. I'm not 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.600 really on Paul Richardson this week, but overall, I think 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:50.520 Vernon Davis has the clearest path too fantasy viability this week. 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.159 In the past game against the Dallas Cowboys, Adrian Peterson 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.320 and Chris Thompson. Obviously, if you're playing PPR, I like 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.480 Thompson more. We just saw say Coom Barkley at either 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.640 five or six passes against Dallas last week, and we're 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:06.320 expecting Washington to play from behind again. I understand this 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.640 is their home opener, but the Cowboys are laying five 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.720 and a half points in this matchup, so um, I 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:13.560 expect the Cowboys to be leading for a lot of 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:15.920 this game. Greg, I understand it's the divisional matchup, but 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:18.959 Chris Thompson I like as a low end flex, low 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.360 end RB three and PPR Adrian Peterson. The only way 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.479 I'm starting him is if you were depending on Darius 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.040 Guys as like your flex running back. Other than that, 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:29.840 I would like to get away from Adrian Peterson if possible. Uh. 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:32.560 And then when it comes to the Cowboys, start old Cowboys. Man. 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.840 I really like this matchup for Doc. I haven'm ranked 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.800 inside my top seven quarterbacks. This week, we just saw 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.440 Carson Wentz throw for over three yards and three touchdowns. 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:45.320 Quentin Dunbar, who is the starting cornerback opposite of Josh Norman, 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.080 is not expected to play this week, so I think 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:50.399 Michael Gallup, you're firing him up again. I like him 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.760 as a you know, a high end wide receiver three. 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:55.399 In this matchup. Obviously you're using a Marii Cooper he 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.679 towards Josh Norman in their only matchup last year, and 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.600 Ezekiel elliott I assume at every week that goes by 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:03.760 he gets more and more work. So pretty much as 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.120
