1 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: Hey everybody, It's Funday, December nineteen two. Welcome to the 2 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's Being Your Man, nam G 3 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: Marcus Grants, joined by Michael f Florio and the specialists 4 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: cast of dozens and I was put on this show 5 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: each and every day, each and every week. They help 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: us put on this show. Uh they throw up a 7 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: pretty good holiday party too. Oh many a time, you know. 8 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: Shout out to Christie Stapleton Sean Kelly who am seated 9 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: and lost his voice in the process. But a good 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: time was had by all this past Friday night. Hopefully 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: a good time was had by you and your fantasy 12 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: playoffs this past week. There is still one more game 13 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: to be played in Week fifteen, the Monday night or 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: between the Packers and the Rams. But after this, how 15 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: are you feeling about the way your teams came out? 16 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: I on Saturday, I literally thought my fantasy seasons were 17 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: going to be completely over, But then Sunday happened, and 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: uh I I ended up coming out on more on 19 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: top than than I did having teams get eliminated this week. Yeah, 20 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: I think I'm doing okay and that the playoffs that 21 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: I'm still in, I'll have to go back and check 22 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: and make sure that nothing weird happens tonight to potentially 23 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: boot me out of it. But I'm feeling okay about 24 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: a lot of things. We will, of course, because it 25 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: is a Monday, give you our five biggest takeaways from 26 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: the weekend. We'll have some waiver wire targets for those 27 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: of you who are still contesting your post seasons have 28 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: mattered movers as well. Plus will spend things ahead three. 29 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: We know for a lot of you your fantasy season 30 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: might be over, so we'll look ahead the next year 31 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: and play a little bit of real or mirage with 32 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: what we have seen in recent weeks. Time now for 33 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: some fantasy headlines and big news out of Philadelphia. Tom 34 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: Pellicero is reporting Jalen Hurts sprained his throwing shoulder in 35 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: the third quarter Sunday against the Bears. Now, the injury 36 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: isn't considered long term, but hurts just playing status for 37 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: Saturday's game against the Cowboys is in doubt. So if 38 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts mr is the game, I'm gonna go out 39 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: on a limit. Say we're not starting Gardner Minshew, But 40 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: what does this mean for the rest of Philadelphia's playmates. 41 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: It's not great. I mean, Gardner Minshrew is obviously a 42 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: big downgrade and a really tough match against the Cowboys. 43 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: A J. Brown is a J. Brown, so he's still 44 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: always in play. DeVonta Smith kind of becomes a boomer bust, 45 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: a wild card option. I would say Dallas Goddard maybe 46 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: could return in time, but I don't know if I 47 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: would be gearing up to get him into my lineup 48 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: this week. Miles Sanders, I guess would still be in play. 49 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: My bigger question is like, if he suffered this in 50 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: the third quarter, why are you still running him? Why 51 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: weren't you using Miles Sanders? Why weren't you thinking about 52 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: the fantasy players who need Jalen Hurts this week? Nick Srianna, 53 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: You've been on our side all year long, and now 54 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: you let us down to the biggest spot of the year. 55 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: But no, seriously of one. Uh, let's see. Hopefully this 56 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: is not a long term issue, as they suggest that 57 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: he's back really soon. But I'm with you. A J. 58 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: Brown's the guy you start. Everybody else is very much 59 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: up in the year. At this point, you really are 60 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: sort of trying to make your best gut decision based 61 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: on the matchups here, I would stay away from Dallas Goddard. 62 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: I'd be very leery about Miles Sanders. DeVante Smith is 63 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: kind of the guy you flip a coin and you 64 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: sort of live or die with it this asi in there. 65 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: Ian rap Reports is reporting that Jonathan Taylor suffered a 66 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: high ankle sprain versus the Vikings on Saturday. J T 67 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 1: had just one touch before leaving the game. Now rap 68 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: Sheet says Taylor is still meeting with doctors, but it's 69 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: considered highly unlikely that he will play again this season. 70 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: Will certainly dive into some waiver wire options to help 71 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: you in case you lost Jonathan Taylor. But with him out, 72 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: who's the guy in Indianapolis. Is it Zack Moss who 73 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: got a whole lot of work, or is it Deon Jackson. 74 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: I think it'll be a split of the two. I 75 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: think Zack Moss will lead the way on the ground. 76 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: That's what we saw this past week. He played two 77 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: thirds of the snaps. In that game, he had twenty 78 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: four carries and one target. Deon Jackson played a third 79 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: of the snaps, but he had thirteen carries and one target. 80 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: This was a game where the Colts were playing from 81 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: a head throughout, though I don't expect that to be 82 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: the case weekend and week out, So if they're trailing, 83 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: I still think Deon Jackson is the past catching specialists, 84 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: the one that can get you the points because Matt 85 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: Ryan is gonna dump the ball off a whole bunch. 86 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: But I think Zack loss will lead on the ground. 87 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: So really both are kind of in play for fantasy, 88 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: but obviously needed one is going to give you what 89 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor was giving you. They were playing from ahead 90 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: until they weren't. Of course, what happened on Saturday, the 91 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: Colts famously lost a thirty three nothing halftime lead, coughing 92 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: up the biggest lead in NFL history as the Vikings 93 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: came back to win in overtime. But I'm with you. 94 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: I think Zack Moss is sort of the guy who's 95 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: the straight ahead, kind of between the tackles runner. Deon 96 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: Jackson's that change of pace pass catching back there, so 97 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see a split there, although I 98 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: will say that the schedule the next couple of weeks 99 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: for the Colts is fairly running back friendly, so we'll 100 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: see how this works out for both of those guys. 101 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: That turns us to the biggest takeaways from the week, 102 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: the five things that Florida and I learned collectively, And 103 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: what was the first thing you came away with from 104 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: this weekend? The Jacksonville Jaguars have arrived, like, not only 105 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: in the sense of like they're playing great football, Like 106 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: they are a game back of their division right now, 107 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: and they still the Tennessee Titans, and they have the 108 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: easier schedule of the two teams, like this could be 109 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: a playoff team at the end of the year. But 110 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence right now is playing absolutely great football. And 111 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: watching him yesterday, uh and the last couple of weeks, 112 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: it's by far the most comfortable he has looked at 113 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: the NFL level, not just going through his progressions and 114 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: the throws he's making, but throwing defenders off his back, 115 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: keeping plays alive with his legs, even running more. He 116 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: just looks like the guy he looked like in Clemson. 117 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: Z Jones has been great, Evan Ingram has been great, 118 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk has been great. So much so, Marcus that 119 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: I made a poll on Twitter this morning, would you 120 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: start Trevor Lawrence against the Jets on TNF and running 121 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: away with it right now is yes, like people and spoiler, 122 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna have him as a start and start 123 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: to look he This was the test for me, was 124 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: against this Cowboys defense, and what I saw from him 125 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: in the previous week showed up again this week in 126 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: that when pressure is coming, he's finding a way to 127 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: buy himself time to get out of the pockets who 128 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: throw off platform and be effective with it. Now, he 129 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: did get away with a couple of things, no doubt 130 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: about it, but he was still better. You know, then 131 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: he was not good, if that makes any sense. So 132 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: I'm definitely with you. And the Jaguars have really shown 133 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: up and they looked like the team that I think 134 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: people thought they could be when they drafted Trevor Lawrence 135 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. The Chiefs have two usable running backs. 136 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: We have spent all this time debating should it be 137 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco, Should it be Jerick McKinnon, And the answer 138 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: is yes. And you know, the last couple of weeks 139 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: we have seen both of them play really heavy snap 140 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: shares has actually been I think over the last three 141 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: weeks McKinnon at fifty cent and it's been Pochecko at 142 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: about forty one or forty two percent, so they're both 143 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: on the field quite a bit now. Pacheco is definitely 144 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: more of the running back, with McKinnon getting a lot 145 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: more of the targets. Their ceilings have been certainly different. 146 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: The McKinnon over the last few weeks is averaging about 147 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: twenty plus points a game, whereas Pacheco is around around 148 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: twelve or fifteen. But the point being they both got 149 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: stable floors. They can be used in dirt situations, and 150 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: they play in an offense that you know what's going 151 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: to score points. Throwing the fact that you've got Clyde 152 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: Edwards layer tweeting about hanging out in a duck blind 153 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: uh and losing connection to not see the end of 154 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: the Chiefs Texans game. Uh. Look, as long as it 155 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: stays a two man rotation here, I think, I don't 156 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: think we have much to worry about here. Yeah, and 157 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: Pacheco looks like a you know, a guy you could 158 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: start as like an RB two or whatever. Jerick McKinnon 159 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: looks like a league winner potentially getting all like he's 160 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: been their top receiver in two straight games. It's it's wild. 161 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: It's been amazing because Travis Kelsey's obviously the number one 162 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: target in the offense, but it's been Juju Smith, Schuster 163 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: and Jered McKinnon kind of battling it out for that 164 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: second spot. What else have you learned from the weekend 165 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: that justin fields is officially match up proof? And I 166 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: wrote about him as a start last week and we 167 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: were getting a bunch of questions. At least I was 168 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,559 Speaker 1: on Twitter like, Oh, they're playing the Eagles. They allowed 169 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: the fewest points to quarterbacks. Can we start justin Fields? 170 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: And I told everyone who asked me yes, and I 171 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: started justin fields everywhere that I at him. And he 172 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: went out and he rushed for over seventy yards for 173 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: a fifth straight game. He broke Lamar Jackson's quarterback record 174 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: that is now the longest streak by a quarterback. But 175 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: he scored twenty three and a half fantasy points against 176 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: the Eagles. And it could have been a better game 177 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: because he had that touchdown run where it would have 178 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: been the run of the year in my opinion, he 179 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: just stepped out of bounds. If that's a rushing touchdown, 180 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: we're talking about him approaching thirty fantasy points against the Eagles. 181 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: I think this was the last box to check. Like 182 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: he we know to start him every week. We know 183 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: his ceiling is super high, but can he do it 184 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: against one of, if not the best defenses in football. 185 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: He went out without his top two receivers and did it. 186 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: So yeah, never even consider benching justin fields. Start him 187 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: each and every week. It would be amazing to see 188 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: what happens if the Bears get him some actual receivers 189 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: to work with going forward. But he's been amazing for 190 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: a long stretch this season. Speaking of receivers, I want 191 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: to thank the Cardinals wide receivers for their service in 192 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: because I think it might be a rap for them 193 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: at this point. That's DeAndre Hopkins, It's Marquees Brown. Don't 194 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: you know if we see Rottendale Morrigan it includes him 195 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: as well. Uh Look, Kyler Murray was enough to keep 196 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: those guys going. Even Colt McCoy. You felt like maybe 197 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: there was still some hope. McCoy leaves the game against 198 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: Denver on Sunday with a concussion, He's going to be 199 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: in the protocol. We'll see whether or not he's available 200 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: for this week, although I'm skeptical at this point. Trace 201 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: McSorley is the guy who stepped in there and McSorley 202 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: in his time. When seven for fifteen for nine yards 203 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: and a couple of interceptions, it feels really hard to 204 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: start any Cardinals receivers for the rest of the year. 205 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: This offense has just collapsed. The Cardinals officially eliminated from 206 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: postseason contention, which, by the way, it's a second straight 207 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: year that in season Hard Knocks has just their subject 208 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: matter has fallen apart in their hands, like so much 209 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: sand on a beach. You know, I just maybe you 210 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: start nuke and you hope for the best, You hope 211 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: that the floor stays relatively stable. But I'm I'm very 212 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: terrified of having to start a new card right now. Yeah, 213 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: I think that would be my approach. Like I would 214 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: start de Hoop probably unless I had another good option. 215 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: But like, Marcus Brown is someone that I have in 216 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: multiple leagues, and I'm considering dropping him because I'm like, 217 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: I don't see myself starting him again. Unfortunately. I think 218 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: James Conner too might be someone you have to start, 219 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: but you don't have to love it. Yeah, I think 220 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: Connor gets some value just because they may lean on 221 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: him a little bit more. Short passes running the ball 222 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: that that might help him a little bit. Speaking of 223 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: running the ball and throwing short passes, you got one 224 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: more Alvin Camara. Man, the Saints are ruining him, doesn't 225 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: stop you from starting him next week against because I 226 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: think this is kind of what we can expect from 227 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: Alvin Camaray. Here it's twenty one carries, which is like great, 228 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: but just two targets. And this is what continues to 229 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: be the thing for Alvin Camara, Like we haven't seen 230 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: his upside in so long, because outside of one week, 231 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't have a touchdown this season. And then I 232 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: mean in that one week he had multiples, so that 233 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: that kind of came through for you. But they're not 234 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: throwing him the ball really much either, Like two targets yesterday, 235 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: three the week before. He has a couple of games 236 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: here and there, well he'll get five plus sprinkled in, 237 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: but for the most part, it's been low volume in 238 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: the passing game and twelve point four fantasy points against 239 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: the Falcons, Like, sure, that's a solid game, but like 240 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: I think we anticipated a much much larger number. We 241 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: actually anticipated a huge number. By the way, we are 242 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: coming up on the anniversary of his six touchdown games 243 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: happened on Christmas Day, so that's that's coming up, and 244 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: then I longed for those days with Alvin Kamara. We 245 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: are a ways away from the top performers. Four week fifteen, 246 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: Josh Allen doing Josh Allen things, nearly thirty six fantasy 247 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: points and that's where they lost. Fumble could have been 248 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: even more had he held onto the football. Jack McKinnon 249 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: continuing to stay hot, thirty four point two points for him, 250 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: Zay Jones going ballistic six catches for a buck o 251 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: nine and three touchdowns. That was nearly thirty five points. 252 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: George Kittle pair of touchdowns. Going back to Thursday night, 253 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: they got you over twenty five points and despite gagging 254 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: up a thirty three point a couple of Colts Chase 255 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: McLoughlin with five field goals twenty points. Although maybe the 256 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: five field goals is part of the reason they got caught. 257 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: They converted those into touchdowns. Maybe they win that game, 258 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. And the Colts defense seven sacks, two picks, 259 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: a fumble recovery, a couple of touchdowns twenty one points there. 260 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: So when you talk about who lost the game, I 261 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: mean they maybe have something to blame, but maybe not 262 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: all the blame goes on to defense there. No, I 263 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: think Matt Ryan deserves Jeff Saturday and Code deserve a 264 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of the blame as well. I 265 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: also think that that game should have got two coaches 266 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: fired one Jeff Saturday for comfortably to to Josh McDaniels, 267 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 1: because you're still the only coach that has lost to 268 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday so far. I think they should have sealed 269 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: both of your coaches fates. But that's just me. Let's 270 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: talk some top performers though. Trevor Lawrence. You talked a 271 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: little bit about him at the top of the show, 272 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: but now is really solidly slotting into that QB one spot. 273 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: Where As you mentioned, folks are saying, forget the matchup, 274 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: we're just starting Trevor Lawrence anyway. Yeah, Like, I know, 275 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: the Jets are extremely hard match up on paper, but 276 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, even as of right now after what Lawrence 277 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: did to them yesterday, have allowed less fantasy points to 278 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: quarter backs. Then the Jets state and Jared Golf yesterday 279 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: had a decent game against him. It would have been 280 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: a lot better had he not underthrown Jamison Williams on 281 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: what should have been a long touchdown. If that connects, 282 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: we're we're not even like we're talking about Jared Golf 283 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: potentially is one of the top scores. So I think 284 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: you continue to ride out with Trevor Lawrence. And kudos 285 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: to you, Marcus, because you were the only person in 286 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: this building that predicted that the Jaguars would win that game. 287 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: You know what, I did have to like take a 288 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: little victory lap about that that we do the weekly 289 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: predictions here and everybody had the Cowboys. I decided to 290 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: zig where others zagged, take the Jags, and uh yeah, 291 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm I'm laughing a little bit. On 292 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: on Monday morning. Dalvin Cook. I know he's been sort 293 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: of underwhelming for long stretches of the year, but he 294 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: was a guy that we both liked this week, and 295 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: it took a little while for him to get going. 296 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: But ninety five rushing yards, receiving yards and a long 297 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: touchdown catch and run, and this looks like the Dalvin 298 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: Cook that people probably spent the top five draft pick 299 00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: on this year. Yeah, and if you were able to 300 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: make the fantasy playoffs, he gave you a huge output 301 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: on Saturday, probably helped a ton of managers advanced into 302 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: the next round. And this is look, I know he's 303 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: been very he hasn't been exactly Dalvin Cooked this season, 304 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: but this is why with a big name like that, 305 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: you just start them each and every week. You don't 306 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: ever think twice. You just put him back in the 307 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: line up because the ceiling is high for a guy 308 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: like Dalvin Cook. And maybe this is the start of 309 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: a run to get you through your fantasy postseason. Midway 310 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: through our day as we were prepping for this show 311 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: and everything else we do on Sundays, our producer Hith 312 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: Kalani put in our slack channel that he was upset 313 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: they didn't start with Ottavius Murray. And I had only 314 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: been halfway paying attention to the Cardinals and Broncos, and 315 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: I went and looked at the box when I was like, oh, snap, 316 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: Like Otavias was having himself a day, a hundred and 317 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: thirty rushing yards and a touchdown. I mean, I know 318 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: for some running backs that seems like yes, so what, 319 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: But for 'davis Murray and that Broncos offense, that's a 320 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: big deal. And I think he had a chance to 321 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: really swing a lot of matchups for people who started 322 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: him this week. Yeah, unfortunately, I I sat him everywhere 323 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: I had him because I was like, no Elsa Wilson, 324 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: They're just gonna keen in on the run. It didn't matter. 325 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: Twenty four carries a buck thirty a touchdown and that 326 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: was with Marlon Max still scoring a touchdown. So it 327 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: depends on the matchup. Like, Lottavias Mary is not a 328 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: guy that you could just start every week. But next 329 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: week against the Rams and what should be a competitive game, Yeah, 330 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: I definitely think Lottavias Murray's in play. But also start 331 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: all your running backs against the Cardinals. Start all your 332 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: running backs against the Cardinals. You can start a lot 333 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: of running backs against the Rams. And I'll tell you what. 334 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: Ottavias Murray has turned out to be a really good 335 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: mid season pick up for the Broncos. Obviously, losing Javonte 336 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: Williams hurts, they let go of Melvin Gordon, and Lottavias 337 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: Mary has stepped in there and done a pretty good 338 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: job in an offense that has otherwise been pretty awful 339 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: last one. It's a tight end, the Buffalo Bills tight 340 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: end figured out how to really put things together when 341 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: his team needed the most. It was Dawson's week, okay, 342 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: but he had himself any against the Dolphins six catches 343 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: for ninety eight yards and a touchdown. Uh. And he's 344 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: actually putting something together the last couple of week weeks, 345 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: which I were giving up on Dawson Knox, but it's 346 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: nice to see him come back and be productive. Yeah. 347 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: I had him as a streaming option last week, but 348 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: it was more about the matchup. He is playing better 349 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: as of late. Next week they get the Bears, though, 350 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: and the Bears have been much better against tight ends 351 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: than they have like receivers and running backs. So like, 352 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: I don't think Dawson Knox is a must start option 353 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: or anything like that. It would depend on who your 354 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: other options at tight end dark Just you know, tighten 355 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: continues to be a roll of the dice and you 356 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: hope that your guys can get a couple of targets, 357 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: maybe a touchdown. But it was good to see Dawson Knox, 358 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: who was a big fantasy favorite last year stuff up 359 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: in the start of the fantasy postseason. Those are the 360 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: guys who were good. Who were the guys who were not? 361 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: Who was your disappointment of the week? Justin Herbert, Mike Williams, 362 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: and pretty much all of the Chargers. I thought that 363 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: was gonna be the top stack of the week, and oof, 364 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: I was wrong. Eight point seven fantasy points for Justin Herbert. 365 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks who finished with more Daniel Jones, Ryan Tannehill, Matt Ryan, 366 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: Sam Donald, Theer Heineke, Mitch Dubinsky, Andy Dalton, brock Party. 367 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: I mean, just the who's who of like these guys 368 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: could all be backups at some point next season or 369 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: something like that. It's been a very up and down 370 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: year for Justin Herbert. I thought he was figuring it out. 371 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 1: I kind of thought the theme of this season, We're 372 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: gonna be like the seat the players who struggled early 373 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: on for you, We're gonna kind of win you your 374 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: league late. And I thought Justin Herbert would be like 375 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: the face of that. And if you had Justin Herbert 376 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: this week, there's a good chance you got bounced. That 377 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: game was so weird because it was going back and 378 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: forth and I looked up in the third quarter it 379 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: was still seven seven, and I'm like, what is what 380 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: is going on here? Just there were no points to 381 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: be had in that game. I got a couple of them. 382 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: One is Miles Sanders, who apparently must have gotten some 383 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: angry tweets from gamblers and fantasy managers like because he 384 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: fired back on Twitter, which one don't tweet at players 385 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: when they have bad games. They know they had a 386 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: bad game and they don't need to hear from you 387 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: but to at some point, I'm also sort of over 388 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: players firing back, Like the whole conversation is just tiresome. 389 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: But anyway, that's neither here nor there. Miles sand look 390 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: like he had a great matchup against the Bears and 391 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: it just didn't happen. One catch for minus thirteen yards, yeah, 392 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: and lost a fumble, forty two rushing yards got you 393 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: fewer than two points, and what seemed like a smash 394 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: spot against that Chicago run defense. I mean, I was 395 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: all over Miles Sanders. Said he was a must start 396 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: this week, and he turned out to be anything but 397 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: so you might have been bounced from the playoffs there. 398 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: Another guy who disappointed in a big way was Dalton Schultz, 399 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: And I've been on record as saying I thought Dalton 400 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: Schultz was going to be a fantasy playoff hero. Instead 401 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: he just has two catches for fifteen yards. And it 402 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: was Peyton hinder Shot who catches the touchdown. In fact, 403 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott really did us no favors with the touchdown throws. 404 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: He had to to Noah Brown, one to Peyton hinder Shot. 405 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: I do think Ceedee Lamb got in there once, so 406 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: that at least sort of helped out a little bit. 407 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: But otherwise thanks that for not helping at all. So 408 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: apparently me starting Miles Sanders and or Dalton Schultz was 409 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: a rookie mistake, which gets us to rookie mistakes. This 410 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: is when we go to the Twitter machine. You tweet 411 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: us at NFL Fantasy, tell us about the things that 412 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: went wrong in your lineup, and we tell you whether 413 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,479 Speaker 1: you had good process or you if you're just out 414 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: of your gourd for a few minutes there. So let's 415 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: start with this one from Perry who says should have 416 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: started DeVonta Smith instead of DeVante Adams. I don't think 417 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: that was crazy. I mean, why wouldn't you start, Although 418 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: why couldn't you started both? I guess it's the question. 419 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I had Devonte Smith as a start, 420 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: but you I would have I You could ask me 421 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: again this week which one of these two should I start. 422 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: It's Devanta Adams, Like you never said Davantae Adams. So 423 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: I I know this, this stinks for your season and 424 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: this way, but you can live with it. You can 425 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: live with it. I mean, you made the right decision. 426 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: If it had to come down to those two guys, 427 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: you picked the right guy. It's just that the Raiders 428 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: didn't do you any favors, nor did the Bear secondary. 429 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: So Perry, that one is not on you. Uh, you can, 430 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: if it makes you feel any better, know that you 431 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: you made the right choice. Next one, this one coming 432 00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: from Andrew holy Cross. That's your real last name. That's 433 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: awesome anyway, started Geno Smith over Kirk Cousins cost me 434 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: my playoff game and season. You know what, at halftime, 435 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: you probably thought you had made the right decision. Yeah, 436 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: you probably did. For what it's worth. I mean, you 437 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: could start listening to us a little bit more because 438 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: we were talking Geno Smith as they said, I had 439 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: him as I said. I know, we talked about it 440 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: a lot on the show, and we both like Kirk 441 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: Cousins a lot. I like her Cousins over Geno Smith. 442 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it's a horrendous decision that 443 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: you did that. I just wouldn't have wanted Geno in 444 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: a short week against the forty Nineers defense. I thought 445 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins were gonna have a better game. I didn't 446 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: realize Kirk was gonna go from like negative point four 447 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: points to what thirty two or whatever it was in 448 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: a half. So, uh, you know, I would have gone Cousins. 449 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: But I don't think you were terribly crazy off in 450 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: making that decision, Andrew. Let's see moving on, Courtie, thinking 451 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: the Bill's defense was gonna actually do something other than 452 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: give up a gang of points in the snow. Well, 453 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: in your defense, it didn't snow for like three quarters. 454 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's all. This is a mistake 455 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: that I think a lot of fantasy managers have been making. 456 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: The Bill's defense is way too highly rostered and started 457 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: like they are not a good defensive unit. They're super 458 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: banged up, but they've been getting ran all over. They've 459 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: struggled on third downs, which leads to a lot of 460 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: poets like I had them as a sid against Miami 461 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: this week against the Bears, maybe because the Bears just 462 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: give up a bunch of production of defenses, but the 463 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: Bill should not be just treated like a weekly mustar. 464 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: I think I think everybody is still remembering last year's 465 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: Bills defense, which was lights out, even though they had 466 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: some injuries last year too. But I think people looked 467 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: at last year's Bills defense and thought, oh, yeah, that's 468 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: a really really good defense, and not realizing after a 469 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: while that, no, this isn't the same. It's not the 470 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: same unit. They've had injuries, they've been getting as you mentioned, 471 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: run over. Uh so, yeah, I mean, I guess maybe 472 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: you thought the weather was going to have an impact. 473 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: Which side note. We could talk about this in the 474 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: off season. Maybe we should stop trying to bank on 475 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: weather too, because we don't do a good job at that. Nope, 476 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: at all. I mean, we have a hard enough time 477 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: predicting players who twee needed it, but they were like, 478 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: no one's ever made a good lineup decision based on weather. 479 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: You never really have. Last one, Adrianna starting Friar Muth 480 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: over Ingram one and done in the playoffs, lost by 481 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,959 Speaker 1: point five. I'm sorry, yeah again, I don't think it's 482 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: a terrible decision. I mean, I think Ingram had a 483 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if it's a great matchup, 484 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: but Friar Muth I thought had a decent matchup. Two. 485 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. I probably would have played Ingram like 486 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: I had him as a start. But I can't blame 487 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: anyone for starting Friar Muth. He has been getting so 488 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 1: much fun. Losing by point five no matter it hurt. 489 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: What decision you made is going to hurt. When you 490 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: lose my point five, you look at you analyze every 491 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: single roster decision you made, and you're like, I could 492 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: have switched A couple of years ago, I lost a 493 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: championship by point four. I still think about it. Yeah, 494 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: so I feel you're paying Adrianna. You know, I'm sure 495 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: that's one you're gonna sit with all off season. And 496 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: there's something I can tell you that's gonna make that 497 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: a whole lot better. What I can sell you, hopefully 498 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: make your life better, is that we're gonna talk some 499 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: waiver wire picks help you replenish that roster if you 500 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: are still competing for your championship. That's after the break 501 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Let's get some of 502 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: the top waiver wire targets for the week Florio'll take 503 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: us through your list. A couple of New York quarterbacks 504 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: if you're in need of a streaming option. Daniel Jones 505 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: and a great matchup against Minnesota. Mike White if he's 506 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: able to suit up in a great matchup against the Jags. 507 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: Some running backs obviously, Jerick McKinnon needs to be picked 508 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: up right now. Zack Moss and Dion Jackson each should 509 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: be picked up. With a good matchup next week against 510 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Tyler Algiers actually the running back I feel 511 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: more confident in right now in Atlanta. And then James 512 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: Cook continues to just get some more run, has a 513 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: good matchup next week. Some past catchers. Darius Slayton because 514 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: of the matchup, Chris More because of all the volume, 515 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: plus the matchup against the Titans. Johan Dotson has been 516 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: doing more as of late, but he gets a tough matchup. 517 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: Traylon Burke's don't forget about him. He was playing great 518 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: before he got injured. Richie James again, just a deeper 519 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: option because of the matchup. Russell Gauge if you're going 520 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: real deep at receiver. And then Juwan Johnson, who scored 521 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,479 Speaker 1: came back, scored two touchdowns. I think people forgot how 522 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: well he has been playing, and check a con quo 523 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: against the Texans if you're going a little bit deeper 524 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: at tight end. So there you go. There are some 525 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: of the options there. If you want a little bit 526 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: more in depth, you can check out Matt Okada's weekly 527 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: Waiver Wire column at nfl dot com slash Waiver Wire. 528 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: But let's talk about some of these guys. Jerk McKinnon. 529 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: I mentioned the Chiefs have two usable running backs, but 530 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: Jerke McKinnon suddenly looks like the guy there. H he's 531 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: running the football, he's catching the football. I think he's 532 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: the clear running back one in Kansas City. Yeah, in 533 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: the last two weeks appending Monday Night Football, unless Aaron 534 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: Jones or Cam Akers or someone goes off tonight, he's 535 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: gonna finish as the RB one in two straight weeks 536 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: with at least thirty two Fantasy points in each game. 537 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: So when you're getting production like that, I mean, you 538 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: have the floor. Might not be the safest, but he 539 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: just obviously got start this guy. You gotta start this 540 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: guy at this point. Plus he's in a very good offense. 541 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: So you know that the Chiefs are gonna move the ball, 542 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: They're gonna score points, which always gives him an opportunity 543 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: to be super productive there and just really doing a 544 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: good job with the opportunities he's been given. And I 545 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: always say this, we can figure out a two man backfield. 546 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 1: It's when it becomes a three man backfield that things 547 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: get a little bit messy. So as long as it's 548 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: just McKinnon and Pacheco, I think we're fine there. K 549 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: j Osborne, I mean, I don't know if it was 550 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: lost in what the Vikings did on Saturday with their 551 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: huge comeback, but kJ Osbourne is such a huge part 552 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: of it. A hundred and fifty seven yards and a touchdown. 553 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: Obviously this seems like a bit of an anomaly, But 554 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: I mean, real talk, is he worth rostering in the 555 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: sense it can he start to earn more targets in 556 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: this offense. I think he's okay to Roston right now 557 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: to say like, hey, I want to put him on 558 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: my bench. See if he can build off of this game. 559 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: I'd have a hard time trusting him though in a 560 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: must win playoff game next week. He had more targets 561 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: against the Colts this week than he did in his 562 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: last four games combined. So like, I like Osborne, I 563 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: like what he's doing. I think he's a better real 564 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: life piece for the Vikings, But I don't know if 565 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: I could start him against the Giants. I just think 566 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: right now it's hard for the Vikings to continually sustain 567 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: that many options in the passing game. Justin Jefferson is 568 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: always going to get his t J. Hawkinson is gonna 569 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: get a whole lot, you know. And so I think 570 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: you've got sort of Adam Feeling and kJ Osborne battling 571 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: for targets when Dalvin Cook is still gonna get some 572 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: as well. So it was nice to see that. I 573 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: don't know that I'm banking on him. In the Fantasy playoffs, 574 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: you mentioned Tyler all Jeer as the Falcons running back 575 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: that you trust. Yes, Cordarol Patterson scored a touchdown, but 576 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: it is all Jeer that's getting a lot of work there. Yeah, 577 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: Like they split the snaps pretty much evenly. This is 578 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: what we've been seeing now for the last month or so. 579 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: And Algier had more carries seventeen to fourteen. He also 580 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: had a target, but he did so much more with 581 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: his production, with his opportunities A hundred and thirty nine 582 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown compared to just fifty two yards 583 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: and a touchdown for Patterson. And that's the thing. Ever 584 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: since Patterson's returned, he's really struggled the yardage wise, Like, 585 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: coming into this game, he was averaging less than ten 586 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: receiving yards per game. Since he came back, he was 587 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: averaging like fifty rushing yards per game. Tyler Rous's year, though, 588 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: it's much more explosive and doing a whole lot more. Yeah, 589 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: he's he's been that guy that's just been kind of 590 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: hanging around this offense for a while now and starting 591 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: to get those opportunities a lot more frequently. We know 592 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: the Falcons want to run the football, so that certainly 593 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: gives him a little bit more upside in that offense. Uh. 594 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,479 Speaker 1: Next one is Russell Gauge, and coming into the year, 595 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: I like Russell Gauge as a sleeper and it never 596 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: quite took for a variety of reasons. And I don't 597 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: know that necessarily you're counting on Russell Gauge. But a 598 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: pretty good game, a couple of touchdowns, Mike Evans still 599 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: really can't find the end zone. Uh, I just I 600 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: don't know that I trust the Butts offense a whole lot, 601 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: but Gauge at least had a good week this week. Yeah, 602 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: that's the thing. I don't trust the Bucks. But if 603 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: you're this is like purely for deep league players, because 604 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: Julio Jones is out right now with an injury, so 605 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: Russell Gauge is the wide receiver three there. Again, in 606 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: like a twelve team league, I would want no part 607 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: of him, But anything deeper than that, you're just looking 608 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: for guys who are getting volume and he got it, 609 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: and that's that's kind of what you want there. But 610 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: the Bucks offense really is not a thing that we 611 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: can trust this year, which is sort of weird to 612 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: say about a Tom Brady offense. Last one, you mentioned 613 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: Jowan Johnson, who I had been liking. I've been calling 614 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: him a sleeper for a while, though I think at 615 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: some point he just became a starter because he was 616 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: getting so much volume back the four catches, a couple 617 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: of touchdowns, just a reminder that in a world where 618 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: we want ted in production, he's been giving it to 619 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: us on a pretty regular basis. Yeah. I sat him 620 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: in the league for Chicka con Quo and it cost me. 621 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: I mean I ended up getting blown out anyway, but 622 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: it would have cost me the week. Um, and I 623 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: went back and I was like, yeah, I think people 624 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: forgot how well Johnson was playing like two touchdowns yesterday 625 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: over twenty two fantasy points, but in four of his 626 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: five games prior to getting injured, he was over twelve 627 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: fantasy points with a touchdown in those four games. So yeah, 628 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: he's a little bit boom or bus. If he doesn't 629 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: get you a touchdown. The floor isn't super high, but 630 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: no tight not many tight ends bring a safe floor, 631 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: and he at least brings a high ceiling. He really does, 632 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: so Jawan Johnson if you're still looking for tight ends, 633 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: or if you're playing DFS as a name that you 634 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: should be remembering when you're trying to fill that tight 635 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: end spot. If you are adding players, you are also 636 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: probably dropping some players. So who are a couple of 637 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: guys that folks can wave bye bye two? Matt Ryan 638 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: because he was in play last week because of the 639 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: matchup and he didn't do a whole lot with it. 640 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: He was like outside of the top twenty quarterbacks, you're 641 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: not gonna If he didn't play well against the Vikings, 642 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: You're not playing him this week against the Chargers, even 643 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: though that might look appealing. And then Greg dol Chick, 644 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: who got the Arizona Cardinals the best possible matchup you 645 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: can get for a tight end and he did next 646 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: to nothing with it. One catch, eleven yards, two point 647 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: one fantasy points. If you can't start him and get 648 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: production out of him against the Cardinals, that's it. Like 649 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: these guys were streaming options, They're probably going to continue 650 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: to be roster because the teams that streamed them probably lost. 651 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: But if you got by dropped them, Yeah, I think 652 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: this is a week where you start to maybe take 653 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: a lot of those roster percentages with a grain of salt, 654 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: because it's probably a lot of teams that like, whatever 655 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm not. There's no point at me dropping 656 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: anybody at this point. For me, Michael Carter is a 657 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: guy you can probably drop just because he played a 658 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: lot of snaps. He didn't get a lot of touches. 659 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: He actually played the majority of the running back snaps 660 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: for the Jets on Sunday, but had five total touches, 661 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: and the matchups don't look great the rest of the way. 662 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: It seems like this is gonna be Bam nights opportunity 663 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: in the backfield, and even if something were to happen 664 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: tonight with no teams on, by the rest of the way, 665 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,959 Speaker 1: there's probably a lot of other running backs out there 666 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: that you are willing to start and play ahead of 667 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: Michael Carter right now in this Jets offense and Taysom Hill, 668 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: who I know he threw a touchdown pass. He's still 669 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: roster like sixties something percent of NFL dot com leagues, 670 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: And I'm like why why? Because the ceiling is incredibly low, 671 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: Like maybe you get a hit where he gets you 672 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: double digit fantasy points, but you're not starting him unless 673 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: you're in like a twenty four team league. Like, I 674 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: don't understand why he's still on rosters other than people 675 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: are just trolling other people in the league. I don't 676 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: get it. I had a friend who was like, Taystom 677 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: Hill and eat upside, Should I play him? And I 678 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: was like no, And then he threw a touchdown. Luckily, 679 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: I told of my friend to play Dawson Knox. Yeah. Yeah, 680 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: it's just it's it's not worth it. There's just there's 681 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,479 Speaker 1: too much risk, not enough of word to play Taysom Hill. 682 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: You don't have to have him on your roster. NFL 683 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: Plus is here, which means, no matter where you are, 684 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: this is how you football.

Go to Plus 689 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: dot NFL dot com and sign up. Now we're gonna 690 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: play some real or mirage. You know how this works. 691 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: We make a statement, we decide whether it is real 692 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: or mirage. But with a twist, we're going to spin 693 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: it forward to three based on what we have seen 694 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: so far in two and I'll let you know whether 695 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: or not the things are real or mirage. So let's 696 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: start with Jonathan Taylor, who was the consensus one dot 697 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,239 Speaker 1: oh one this past year, and I think we all 698 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: agree was a disappointment in that regard. Now it looks 699 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: like he's done for the rest of the season. So 700 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: real or mirage. Jonathan Taylor is the first overall pick. Again. 701 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: In mirage, he will be a first round pick, but 702 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: he I don't even think he'll be in consideration for 703 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: the first overall pick. I think we'll see like Austin 704 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: Ekeler in that discussion. I think we'll see Derrick Henry. 705 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: I'm not Derick Hemny, Christian McCaffrey in that discussion again, 706 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be surprised if we see like Justin 707 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: Jefferson or one of the wide receivers also creep into 708 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: that conversation. I'm not even sure if Jonathan Taylor goes 709 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: top five off the board, but he will be a 710 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: first round pick. You have a feeling he's gonna sink 711 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: to sort of the latter part of the first round, 712 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: but he will still be a first round pick. But 713 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,479 Speaker 1: the thought of him being the one dot oh one 714 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: again is absolutely a mirage. Some of it has to 715 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: do I think with the offense as a whole. The 716 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: offensive line is just not the same, and you know, 717 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: people just people have long memories. They're not very forgiving 718 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: in fantasy football. I can't wait for the is Jonathan 719 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: Taylor injury prone conversations that people are gonna have all 720 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: summer long spoiler alert, they're all injury prone and they 721 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: play of Island game. There's gonna be that or the 722 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor overrated did we overrated? Jonathan Taylor after the 723 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: ext year. That's that's gonna happen. Too real or mirage. 724 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: Deance Johnson will never score again. Mirage, But man is 725 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: just starting to feel real. Like we're in week heading 726 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: into week sixteen. This guy has like d and twenty 727 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: targets and he doesn't have a touchdown. He really might 728 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: finish the year though, like he might break the record 729 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: most targets without touched on any single season. But I 730 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: have to hope in his career he catches a touchdown again. 731 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: I think he's going to catch one again. So I 732 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: do think this is a miurage. But I did have 733 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: to laugh when I saw it because it's like, well, 734 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: I have to think about this for a second, but yeah, 735 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: he's he's going to He's too good. He gets too 736 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: many targets, too many opportunities. He's going to score a 737 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: touchdown at some point. Maybe it is this year, who knows, 738 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: but it is sort of mind boggling that he's gone 739 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: this far and has not found his way into the 740 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: end zone. So that that is an absolute mirage. Next one, 741 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: Gino Smith, it's a top ten quarterback next year. Real 742 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: or mirage. I'm gonna go with mirage thing. I want 743 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: this to be real. Gino is playing so great. This 744 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: also kind of feels like the best case scenario for 745 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: Geno Smith right now. Um also like Seattle has a 746 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: really tough decision to make. Do they want to drafted 747 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: quarterback because they're gonna have a very early pick getting 748 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: that pick, uh from the Broncos. Are they gonna extend 749 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: Geno Smith? We don't know really where he's gonna be playing. 750 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say mirage, but I kind of hope it. 751 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: I'm wrong on this one. I mean, it would be 752 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: fun if it's real, but I don't think it is. 753 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a mirage. You know, you 754 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: you know, Drew lock is still there. Uh, you know, 755 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: do they bring Geno back? Do they draft somebody? Again? 756 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: I say this, the Seahawks sort of backed into this. 757 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: This was not their plan. It just has worked out 758 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: in an amazing way for them. Although with the Seahawks 759 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: also fading down the stretch right now, you do wonder, uh, 760 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: you know, what sort of things they do to retool 761 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,240 Speaker 1: this offense. So I think it's I think it's a mirage. 762 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,280 Speaker 1: If he's around them. I think he's drafted maybe top twelve, 763 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: but I don't know if he's if he's a top 764 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: ten quarterback, they wrote me off, I ain't right back. Yeah, 765 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: he still is not writing back. But we'll see if 766 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: we're writing back for writing him next season something like that. Anyway, 767 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: more Steelers wide receiver talk here. George Pickens will be 768 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: a top fifteen wide receiver next year. Real or mirage. 769 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: I think this is real. I am super bullish on 770 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: George Pickens. I loved him coming into this season, and 771 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 1: he has shown flashes as to why. Like, I truly 772 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: believe that this guy can be an alpha water receiver, 773 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: one one of the best receivers in the game, and 774 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: unlike a weekly basis, he kind of shows his why. 775 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: I think that way with some of the plays he makes. 776 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: He just has to get a little bit more consistent. 777 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: The offense seems to be able to get him consistently 778 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: the ball. I think that's the bigger thing. Um. But 779 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: yesterday I tweeted like, I can't wait to watch this 780 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: guy developed, and someone was like, yeah, I think he 781 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: already has developed. It's more on the quarterback, and I'm like, yeah, 782 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: it's more on the quarterback, but this guy is still 783 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: only getting better, and that is a scary thought. I'm 784 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: gonna say mirage, but I think mostly because of the 785 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: quarterback play, I think that's to sort of hold him 786 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: back right now. I don't think it's an ability thing. 787 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: I think it's just a situational thing for him. At Plus, 788 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: you talk about wide receiver being as deep as it 789 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: has ever been, and and chances are we're going to 790 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: have some guys that come in and this rookie class 791 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: who can make an impact this this coming year. So 792 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: I think he's outside of the top fifty, but I 793 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: think he is ascending. The arrow is certainly pointing up 794 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: for George Pickens heading in the next year. Last one, 795 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson is a wide receiver one. This one feels 796 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: kind of easy for me. This is real. I'm not 797 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: sure if he'll be drafted as a wide receiver one. 798 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: Although the fantasy community does fall in love with young 799 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 1: players so and and especially once that they love to 800 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: hype up, which Garrett Wilson checks off all of those boxes. 801 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: He's currently the wide receiver eighteen in a season that 802 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: he was a rookie obviously, and and where he's had 803 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: bad quarterback played for much of it. I think the 804 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: Jets are going to address the quarterback position in the 805 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: off season because their playoff team. If they do, and 806 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: if they do, say they get a veteran maybe Geno 807 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: Smith or Derek Carr, someone like that, even say they 808 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: run it back with Mike White, not Zack Wilson. I 809 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: just think there's a path, a clear path from to 810 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: be a water So I think this is real. And 811 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: you know, even if it's Zack Wilson. What we saw 812 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson on Sunday, Now, granted it was against the 813 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: Lions defense. Maybe maybe I'm reading too much into this, 814 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: but he gave me a little bit of hope. But 815 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 1: I just think that Garrett Wilson has shown enough that 816 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: he is the wide receiver one on this team and 817 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: he's going to get a heavy target share going forward. Now, 818 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: hopefully the quarterback play does improve, because then that makes 819 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 1: me feel a lot better about it. But I still 820 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: think that even if, for whatever reason, the Jets decide 821 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: to go back to Zack Wilson, that there's still wide 822 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 1: receiver one possibility and play for Garrett Wilson. Yes, it 823 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: was Zach Wilson season, and it's like a microcosm, Like 824 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: he had some places where you're like, wow, I see 825 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: why the jets him, and then he had others where 826 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: he were like I see why he got bent right exactly. 827 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: So it's the you know, it's a tale of two quarterbacks. 828 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: It was the best of throws, it was the worst 829 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: of throws. All of that. It's the season for miracles 830 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: and for the fiftieth anniversary of the Maculate Reception, NFL 831 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,320 Speaker 1: Network is celebrating with a rematch for the Ages, the 832 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,720 Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders play the Pittsburgh Steelers live in prime 833 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 1: time this Christmas Eve, The Holiday Classic December eight pm 834 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: Eastern only on NFL Network and streaming on NFL Plus. 835 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: Time for Mad Movers. As we wrap things up here 836 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: on the show, which players do we think deserve a 837 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: Madden ratings boost from what they did over the weekend. 838 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: Like I always say, it's a chance for us to 839 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: shout out some guys who had big weeks that we 840 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: couldn't fit elsewhere in the program. So who do you 841 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: think deserves some love on the Madden side? Joshua Kelly. 842 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: I know he didn't have a massive stat line, but 843 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: he carried the ball ten times. He found the end zone. 844 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: And there was a scare in this game where Alsin 845 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: Ekeler left when in the medical tent missed a drive, 846 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: was standing on the sideline with his helmet off, and 847 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: it was like, oh man, what if Alstin Ekeler misses time. 848 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: Joshua Kelly came in and clearly got all of the 849 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: work there. This is just another reminder that you want 850 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: your top running backs handcuffs because something like Eckler could 851 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: miss time. Jonathan Taylor's out now, Like you want these 852 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: guys on your roster just in case, Absolutely you do. 853 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 1: And I said this earlier in the season. A thing 854 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: that you know, I had heard from Daniel Jeremiah, who 855 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: the radio voice of the Chargers, that josh Kelly just 856 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: looked more like he's understanding what has asked of him 857 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: and what the NFL game is. There were times last 858 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: year where you know, he looked like a rookie. It 859 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: looked like a young player and uh really struggle. But 860 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: now he looks like a different, more confident running back, 861 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,479 Speaker 1: and uh it's good to see him, especially in getting 862 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: that opportunity coming up on this past Sunday, I reached 863 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: Noah Brown because while it worked, out for the Cowboys. 864 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 1: It was frustrating for fantasy managers watching Noah Brown catch 865 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns, but shout out to him for 866 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: having himself a day forty nine yards pair of scores 867 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 1: in that one. He was a guy who was a 868 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,359 Speaker 1: deep sleeper. I think for a lot of people coming 869 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 1: into the season and look, you weren't expecting a lot 870 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,439 Speaker 1: of big blow up weeks for Noah Brown. In fact, 871 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 1: I'm sure outside of the deepest of leagues or dynasty leagues, 872 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: don't know that anybody really has Noah Brown. And I'm 873 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 1: sure few, if anybody played him in the season long 874 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: leagues this week. But it just goes to show the 875 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys do have at least a couple of guys who 876 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: can catch the football, even if they were dabbling in 877 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 1: the O b J market just a couple of weeks ago, 878 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: and Noah Brown did some some nice things. Still not 879 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: picking him up though, Yeah, not picking him up. But 880 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: I think Noah Brown maybe was feeling the heat from 881 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: from t Y I forget Dallas, so maybe there was 882 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,959 Speaker 1: one touched on though, where Dalton Schultz was wide open 883 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: and Dad just chose to throw it to no offense. 884 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,359 Speaker 1: I mean, and it's like, come on, you couldn't give 885 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: us one. You could have helped us out. Doc. I forget. 886 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: I forgot that they signed Eugene Marquis Hilton over the 887 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: past week. I did not know that was that's his 888 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: actual name. I'm not sure where t Y came from. 889 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: I think it's like a nickname or something. Okay, Yeah, Otherwise, 890 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: Chupa Hubbard. I was big on deant Foreman. He was 891 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: one of my big disappointments of the week too. But 892 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: Chuba Hubbard had himself a decent day. Yeah, Chuba Hubbard 893 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: had four carries for ten yards yesterday and that led 894 00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 1: the Panthers in rushing yards. But where he really made 895 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 1: his his impact was in the receiving game three catches 896 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: for fifty seven yards. Only d J. Moore had more 897 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 1: receiving yards. And Chuba Hubbard isn't someone that I think 898 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: you want to like pick up and start. But I 899 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 1: do think he's like a quality bench running back right 900 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: now that maybe you want to prevent someone else from 901 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: picking up, or that you just want just in case, 902 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, some of your other players missed time or 903 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 1: something like that. Again, it's not ideal to be starting him, 904 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: but he's just a depth piece right now, definitely a 905 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 1: depth piece, and it's kind of a reminder that I 906 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: felt like a reminder for me. I should say that 907 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 1: I felt like that's where the Panthers wanted to go 908 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: with their running game a few weeks ago, but I 909 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: stubbornly stuck with this idea that Deonta Foreman was going 910 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: to get more opportunities. And I think yesterday was that 911 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: reminder for me that Chuba Hubbard. I'm not gonna say 912 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: he's the future in the Carolina backfield, but given the 913 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,280 Speaker 1: choice between Hubbard and Foreman, it seems like the Carolina 914 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: wants to go to Hubbard route. Last one c j Uzama, 915 00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 1: who's the guy who used to show up all the time. 916 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: It's kind of a streaming option, especially when he was 917 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: with the Bengals. We haven't talked much about him because 918 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: Tyler Conklin was getting a lot of that tighten work 919 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: in New York to start the season. But a good 920 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: day for USAMA with a pair of touchdowns from Zach Wilson. 921 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:14,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if this means anything. Of this was 922 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson throwing to a guy that what maybe he 923 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,879 Speaker 1: throws two in practice because he's sort of the number 924 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: two tight end. But hey, that was great. Um, if 925 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: you played cg Usama in in DFS, congrats to you. 926 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: We're not playing cji Usama again. No, no, I would 927 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: sit Tyler Conklin and cji Usama this week. Yeah, I'd 928 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: stay away from the Jets tight ends at this point. 929 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: They Jets have not had a consistently good tight end 930 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: in my lifetime, at least for fantasy purposes. So congrats, though, 931 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 1: do you cji Usama for having yourself a pretty good 932 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 1: day on Sunday?
