1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, Hey everybody, It's Monday, October thirtieth, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, MG.

3
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: Marcus Grant Joy by Michael F.

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 3: Florio.

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: Coming up on the show today, We've got our biggest

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: takeaways from Week eight and we're breaking down all the

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: top performances and biggest disappointments from the weekend. Well, Florio,

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: week eight pretty much coming gone. We still have the

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: Monday night game to play. Spooky season is here, and

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: there are a lot of scary things that happened in

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: fantasy this week.

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a lot of players where I was like,

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: the logic to either start or sit this guy makes

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 3: total sense. And then Week eight happened and everything went

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 3: off the rounds.

16
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: Not to mention that you want to talk about Halloween, right,

17
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: this was some monkeys paw type trash in that we

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: have no teams on a buy, so your whole roster's

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: in theory available to you. And then we just have

20
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: quarterbacks going down left and right across the board, so

21
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: it's a be careful what you wish for sort of situation.

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: We will have the biggest takeaways from Week eight top performers,

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: also some waiver wire targets. Plus we're going to project

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: some awards for the second half of the season now

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: that we're in the back part of the fantasy regular season.

26
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: But let's get started, as we always do, with some

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: fantasy headlines, and I mentioned injured quarterbacks. That's pretty much

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: what this whole section is going to be about. The

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: biggest one Kirk Cousins left with an achilles injury and

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: all signs point to him being out for the season.

31
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: So I mean, Florida, you look at this. The running

32
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 2: game has been non existent for Minnesota all year long.

33
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson is currently on injured reserve, but at least

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: the last two weeks we had the Kirk Cousins Jordan

35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: Addison connection that was working for the last two games.

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: Now with Cousins out, what are we doing with this offense?

37
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: I think it's very.

38
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: Few and far between of who you can trust. Like TJ.

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: Hockinson remains an option that you could start each week

40
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: because tight end and because if a rookie quarterback is

41
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: going to rely on anyone, I feel like it will

42
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: be him. Jordan Addison is someone that I can be

43
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: convinced to continue rolling with because the upside is so high.

44
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 3: I mean, what he's going out and giving us each

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 3: and every week is hard to do right now, especially

46
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: for a rookie. He's so explosive, but the floor is

47
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: significantly lower. I think it's too hard to trust someone

48
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: like kJ Osborne. I don't want to trust a running

49
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: game there. I also have long term concerns and now

50
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: of like will we see Justin Jefferson again? I think

51
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 3: that's a big part of it too.

52
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: Right there was already sort of this chatter of do

53
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: they rush him back if he's not ready to go

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: after four weeks? Do they push it?

55
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: Do they get him in?

56
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: With Kirk Cousins now gone for the season. I mean

57
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: the Vikings city at four and four, but it's kind

58
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: of a shaky four and four right now? What is

59
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: their future? What do they do? Also, who's going to

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: be the quarterback? Because Kevin O'Connell didn't commit to Jaron Hall.

61
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: Hall was the guy who finished the game, sixth round

62
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback, they didn't commit to him going forward. Sean

63
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: Manion is still available. I heard, you know there's some

64
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: free agents out there. I heard Colt McCoy's name come up.

65
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: I mean, guess Carson Wentz is still available if you're

66
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: into that sort of thing. So much of who we

67
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: can trust in this offense is dependent on who the

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: quarterback is going to be. But the options aren't great,

69
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 2: and I tell you that I am very concerned about

70
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: any vikings that I would have, especially because Jordan Adison,

71
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, has been so hot over the last

72
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: two weeks, was really starting to come around. But not

73
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: having Kirk Cousins is going to impact him greatly. In Atlanta,

74
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: Desmond Ritter was out temporarily with an injury, it seemed,

75
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: but he was cleared but didn't come back into the ballgame.

76
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: Taylor Heineke stayed in the game for Atlanta. Meanwhile, Drake

77
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: London also suffered a groin injury. But we at least

78
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: got half of what we wanted Florio and that we

79
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: got Tamil Heinecky in the game. He immediately came in

80
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: and targeted Kyle Pitts. He targeted Drake London. So we'll

81
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: wait to see what Arthur Smith's.

82
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: Going to do.

83
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I can give you the short answer, He'll

84
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: do whatever makes us upset. But if it is Taylor Heineke.

85
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: Does this give you more faith than Kyle Pitts.

86
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: Yes. And the moment that I saw yesterday that Desim

87
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: Rader had been replaced, I was like, this is a

88
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: good thing for Drake London and Kyle Pitts fantasy value.

89
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 3: Not that Taylor Heinekey is like Patrick Mahomes or anything

90
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: like that. But he's not afraid to throw the ball downfield.

91
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: And that's if you're watching the video show, that's all

92
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: you're seeing is downfield throws. Yesterday, he came in in

93
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 3: his first four passes, three of them were longer than

94
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 3: any completions Desmond Radder had in the game. Like it's

95
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: just more aggressive of a signal caller. It's why, like

96
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 3: last year we loved when he was playing for Terry

97
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: McLaurin because he's just gonna He was selling shirts that

98
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 3: said beep it, Terry's open somewhere down there, and that's

99
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: the kind of attitude. That's why we love Jameis Winston

100
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: for fantasy football. Like maybe not the best for real life,

101
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: but for fantasy he's fun and we're gonna get the

102
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: most out of him.

103
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: We need t shirts that say bleep it. Drake and

104
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: Kyle are down there somewhere.

105
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 3: We should start selling them right now.

106
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: We should start doing it right now, because if Taylor

107
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: Heineke's the guy, that is what we can look forward to.

108
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. I know Heineke himself said, look,

109
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: this is still Desmond's team. He was very diplomatic about

110
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: the whole thing, and we'll see what the head coach

111
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: decides to do going forward. But Taylor Heinecke certainly put

112
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: some juice at least in the guys that we are

113
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: starting in fantasy in Pittsburgh. Can He Pickett suffered a

114
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: rib injury against the Jaguars, Mike Tomlin saying that Pickett's

115
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 2: going to be a game time decision for the Thursday

116
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: night matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Mitch Trubisky came in,

117
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: wasn't great. Look Deontay Johnson just came back a couple

118
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. George Pickens has been playing well for

119
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: much of the season. But if it is Mitch Trubisky,

120
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 2: can we still trust the Steelers pass catchers?

121
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: I think you could start Deontaey Johnson fourteen targets yesterday,

122
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: eight catches, eighty five yards. I know it was nine

123
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 3: of them were in the first half with Kenny Pickett,

124
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: but still that volume is too hard to ignore and

125
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: get away from. So and I don't expect them to

126
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: suddenly stop throwing him the ball even if it's not

127
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett out there. George Pickens was good yesterday, but

128
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 3: he had one catch. Yeah, to me, he becomes purely

129
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: boom or bust. But it's kind of Deontay or get away. Yeah.

130
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 3: I just I.

131
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: Wonder with the Pickens thing yesterday, like, is it wasn't

132
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: just a weird game thing, or is this going back

133
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: to how it was previously where Deontay Johnson got all

134
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: these targets and they were basically sending George Pickens on

135
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: go missions down the field and maybe once in a

136
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: while we'll throw it to you. I'm very curious, although

137
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: you know, if it's Mitch Trubisky, we may not get

138
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: a full accounting on how this sort of works. I'm

139
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: with you, though you start Deontay Johnson, I'd say in

140
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: deeper leagues, maybe you take a chance on George Pickens,

141
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: especially this week right the tight we pick on them

142
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: because that secondary has been so bad, so if there's

143
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: ever an opportunity, it's probably this week against the Titans

144
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 2: short though, so it may be difficult for can He

145
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: Pickett to get ready for the game. Those are things

146
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: we found out by watching the games. But we also

147
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: have some things that we learned and are reading between

148
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: the lines with what we saw on the field in

149
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: Week eight. So what is one thing that you took

150
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: away from what you saw?

151
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: Josh Downs is very much so for real And I

152
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: know early on this season it was easy to be like, oh,

153
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: he's just it's a big game for you know, the

154
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: Golts secondary wide receiver. But all of his big games

155
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: have come with Garner Minshew. Like Week three, that was

156
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 3: when Garner Minshew was starting in place of Anthony Richardson

157
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 3: and then so four straight games with at least thirteen

158
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: Fantasy points for him. Five of his last six he

159
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: has top that number. All five with Gardner Minshew, he's

160
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: averaging over sixteen Fantasy points per game. With him, he

161
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 3: also has set the record for most catches and receiving

162
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: yards by Colts player in their first eight career games.

163
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: Like he is just giving you consistent fantasy numbers week

164
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: in and week out. He is a good matchup next week.

165
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: He's someone that you want in your starting lineup. And

166
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: he's been a good yards after catch guy. Because his

167
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: average depth of target is not very far. They're not

168
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: sending him deep downfield. That's more of the Alec Pierce

169
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: role than the offense. But Josh Down's doing a lot

170
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: after the catch. So we've been saying for weeks, he'll

171
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: get Josh Downs.

172
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: If for whatever reason he's still out there in your league,

173
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: I will say it again, go get Josh Downs. We

174
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,679
Speaker 2: talked about the Titans. Let Will Levis cook maybe with Mayo.

175
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't care. I mean, the guy

176
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: came out in his starting debut when for two hundred

177
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: and thirty eight passing yards through four touchdowns, and the

178
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: thing that we love is that he was taking shots

179
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: down the field about thirty five percent of his pass

180
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: attempts when at least ten air yards he was going deep.

181
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: We see DeAndre Hopkins in there, and that's that's even

182
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: the bonus to this. Right If Will Levis is the

183
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: guy who somehow is unlocking DeAndre Hopkins, that's even better.

184
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: And so we'll see going forward. But it looks like

185
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: this is Will Levis's team. He had four touchdown passes.

186
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: As I mentioned, Ryan Tannehill only has two all season long.

187
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: So it's hard to imagine a scenario where Tannehill comes

188
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: back in and immediately just gets this job again. Because

189
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 2: Levis has been so good on a team that you

190
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: and I were talking before the show. I mean, they're

191
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: hanging out at what three and four. The chances of

192
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: them making the playoffs, I mean, while not impossible, seems

193
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: sort of difficult. At some point, they got to look

194
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: around and start seeing what they have with some of

195
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: these young players.

196
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean Lewis, that's it, like he is

197
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 3: the guy moved. There's zero percent chance that you could

198
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 3: watch that game yesterday and be like, you know what

199
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: we need to do? Get Ryan Tarran back in there

200
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: first game in DeAndre Hopkins' career with one hundred yards

201
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: and three touchdowns. Insane. My question, though, Marcus is are Look,

202
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: we all want Will Lewis on a roster now more. Yeah,

203
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: we agree with that. Would you start him on a

204
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: short week against the Steelers depends who I have. Now.

205
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: Look, I've got leagues where you know, I got Kirk Cousins, right,

206
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 2: so I might have to Yeah, if I have Kirk Cousins,

207
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: I think have Daniel Jones in a league, and I

208
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: know he's sort of up in the air this week,

209
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: so depending on who I have, I think about it,

210
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: but I at least gotta go get him. Yeah, I

211
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: agree with that, at least gotta go get him this week.

212
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: What else did you find out from this week.

213
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: That Damian Pierce unfortunately cannot be trusted even in matchups

214
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: like the Panthers coming into this week had allow the

215
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 3: most touchdowns to running backs. They were up there in yards.

216
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: So that's despite already having a bye week, Damian Pierce

217
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: went out and gave you forty six rushing yards four

218
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 3: point six Fantasy points. He has topped double digits just twice,

219
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 3: and Devin Singletary continues to be a factor there. They

220
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: split snaps almost down the middle, forty three percent for Piers,

221
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: forty one percent for Singletary. They split carries twelve to ten,

222
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: and then it's Singletary for his second straight game that

223
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 3: has been the back used in the passing game. I

224
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 3: don't I'm not saying you could drop Damian Pierce just

225
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 3: yet because running back is pretty thin, but I don't

226
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: see any way you could start him.

227
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a split backfield in an offense that

228
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: doesn't run the ball particularly effectively. We all said that

229
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 2: this was if there was ever gonna be a week

230
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: for Damian Pierce, it was going to be this week.

231
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: It didn't happen this week. So now, yeah, he's just

232
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: gonna be glued to your bench right now. I think

233
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 2: in fantasy last thing. Yep. I take no joy in

234
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: reporting this, but Taysom Hill is a thing. He is

235
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: getting involved in a heavy way in the Saints offense.

236
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 2: You can call him a quarterback, you can call him

237
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 2: a tight end, you can call him an offensive weapon.

238
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: I don't care. But he's had nine or more opportunities

239
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: that's targets plus carries in three straight games. He's had

240
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: fourteen combined targets over the last three weeks. Occasionally he'll

241
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 2: still throw a pass as well. I get it. Look,

242
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: he's not set up for every single roster. If you're

243
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: in a shallower league, you don't have to worry about him.

244
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: He's not gonna do that much. But if you're in

245
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: a deeper league or a really competitive league, it's time

246
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: to pick him up. If he's out there, and maybe

247
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: it's time to consider starting him because he's getting more

248
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: work than a lot of the other Look, they're finding

249
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: ways to get into the ball better than they are

250
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: Chris Olave right now. So you know, at this point,

251
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: we got to forget what you think about Taysom Hill.

252
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: He's a fantasy viable option at this point in the season.

253
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: So I didn't think we get here, but here we are.

254
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 2: We are just getting started here. Of course, we got

255
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: plenty more to talk about. We'll have our top performers

256
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: for the week coming up next here on the NFL

257
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: Fantasy Football Show. For the first time ever, the NFL

258
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: kicks off in Frankfurt, Germany with Sunday Morning Football exclusively

259
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: on NFL Network. It's a must see AFC showdown as

260
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: the Dolphins take on the Chiefs. Rye Shine and watch

261
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: on Sunday, November fifth, at nine to thirty am Eastern

262
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: only on NFL Network and streaming on NFL Plus. Let's

263
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: dive into the top performers for Week eight with the

264
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: Monday night games still to come, but Sam Howell had

265
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: a day three hundred and ninety seven pass ours, four touchdowns,

266
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: eleven rushing yards, thirty one fantasy points. I believe he

267
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: was only seve once too. That might be the biggest

268
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: upset of them all. Christian McCaffrey doing Christian McCaffrey things.

269
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: He got you twenty nine point eight points. Shook, shocker.

270
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: He scored touchdowns. He'd scored two of them on Sunday.

271
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 2: CD Lamb had himself a day. He had a pair

272
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: of touchdowns. Twelve catches, one hundred and fifty eight yards,

273
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: forty one points for Siderian Lamb. Trey McBride, we told

274
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 2: you to go pick him up and start him. Ten

275
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: catches for ninety five yards and a touch that's good

276
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: for twenty five and a half. Brandon McManus four field goals.

277
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: I have sixteen fantasy points for him, and the Broncos

278
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: defense is part of a big upset over the Chiefs.

279
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: Three sacks, two interceptions, three fumble recoveries, seventeen points for

280
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: the Broncos. So let's talk about some of the guys

281
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: that were either on this list or just off the list.

282
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: But Dak Prescott hot before the buye, hot after the buye.

283
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 2: Maybe the Cowboys offense is starting to click. Yeah, and

284
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: so I will take the l I had Dak. As

285
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: they said this week, that is my bad.

286
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 3: My thinking was because, like you said, hot before the bye,

287
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: that was because of his legs, forty rushing yards and

288
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: a touchdown, and it's like, Okay, he hadn't really ran

289
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 3: like that in a game, but the passing numbers hadn't

290
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 3: been there. Well that changed this week. Three hundred and

291
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: four passing yards season high in first game with over

292
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: two seventy five this year. Four passing touchdowns season high,

293
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: second multi passing touchdown game this year. But watching that game, Yeah,

294
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 3: the Cowboys passing attack is finally coming alive. They need

295
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: to get the run game going because it's been kind

296
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: of a couple of down weeks for Tony Pollard. But

297
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 3: like Dak, next week gets a matchup against the Eagles,

298
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: who have allowed a ton of numbers through the passing game,

299
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 3: and with all these quarterbacks hurt, I think Dak is

300
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 3: back to being a comfortable start for fantasy.

301
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, now the question is can you do it for

302
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 2: against a team that's not based in Los Angeles County.

303
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: He's gotten the Chargers, he's got in the Rams. He's

304
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: the king of Los Angeles apparently right now. Gus Edwards

305
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: looks like he's the king of the Ravens backfield. And

306
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: this was a question that we had coming into the season,

307
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: not that he was bad or you know. First it

308
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: was JK. Dobbins before he got injured, than Justice Hill

309
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: was getting some opportunities. But the last few weeks, Gus

310
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: Edwards has really taken control. He's had more than sixty

311
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: percent of the rushing attempts in back to back games.

312
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: Justice Hill not getting a whole lot of opportunity to

313
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: run the football. Now he'll getting some targets, which certainly helps.

314
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: But Gus Edwards is doing work, and while he's not

315
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: getting the same target share as Justice Hill, he gets

316
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: the ball occasionally in the passing game as well. So

317
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: I think the Ravens have kind of settled on a

318
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: lead running back, which means that we can feel a

319
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: little bit more comfortable putting Gus Edwards in the lineup

320
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: going forward. I'm gonna pat myself on the back here

321
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: because I said you could start Joe Mixon this week

322
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: against the forty nine ers because maybe me being a

323
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: pessimist and watching that Niner defense the last couple of weeks.

324
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: But Mixon had a pretty nice day against San Francisco.

325
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 3: He had his best game of this season, his first

326
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: time scoring twenty Fantasy points this year, he had not

327
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 3: scored fifteen. His previous high was fourteen, and now he

328
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 3: got twenty this week, or season high eighty seven rushing yard,

329
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 3: scored his second rushing touchdown. And like you said, I

330
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: know the forty nine Ers defense hadn't been what they've

331
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: bent were early in the season, but to go out

332
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: there and have your best game of the year against

333
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: the Niners still is very impressive. My takeaway was like,

334
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 3: it's the healthiest we've seen this Bengals offensive look, and

335
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: Joe Mixon is back to looking like the Joe Mixon

336
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: of old. Next week it's the Bills on Sunday Night

337
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 3: Football in a game that I think could be very

338
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 3: high scoring, and the Bills have just allowed a bunch

339
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: of good running back performances. So yeah, I think Joe

340
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: Mixon is not only back, I think he is someone

341
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 3: that you should be very excited to start moving forward.

342
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: Also, it was a little bit of a homecoming for

343
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon. He's a Bay Area kid real there, so

344
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure he had plenty of friends and

345
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: family in the stands making the drive down to Santa

346
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: Clara to watch him play. Austin Eckler a huge game.

347
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: We have been waiting for this since Week one. He

348
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: got hurt in week one, hadn't seen him for a while,

349
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: and he came back and he didn't look like himself

350
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: the first couple of games that he was back. But

351
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: twenty nine rushing yards like all right, whatever, seven catches

352
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: for ninety four yards and a touchdown. It just looked

353
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: more like the Austin Eckler that we have been used

354
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: to seeing. So I think he's finally over the injury issues.

355
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: They're starting to use him the way they used him

356
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 2: in the past, and he's scoring touchdowns. So I think

357
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 2: this was just encouraging, you know. I know people will

358
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: say what was against the Bears. I don't care. It

359
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 2: was the utilization. It was just watching him run a

360
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: little bit. It just made me feel like, Okay, this

361
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: is the guy you spent probably a top three, top

362
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: five draft pick on. So I think you can feel

363
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: a little bit better about Austin Eckler. It also means

364
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: that Josh Kelly, I think, is less of a threat

365
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 2: in that offense.

366
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 3: Eckler has the best running back schedule from week nine on. So,

367
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 3: lots more Eckler weeks coming, lots more Eckler weeks coming.

368
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: The Niners offense, yeah, kind of sputtering lately, but George

369
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: Kittle's eating.

370
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, George Kittle tight end two on the week. We're

371
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: gonna talk about the tight end one Trey McBride a

372
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: little bit later in the show, But I just wanted

373
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: to look at his last six So just the fantasy

374
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 3: points from Kittle's last six games sixteen one point nine,

375
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 3: twenty seven point seven, one point one, thirteen, twenty three

376
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: point nine. I understand that those weeks with less than

377
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: two fantasy points are insanely frustrating, and you look at

378
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 3: your team and you're like, oh, if Kittle would have

379
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: gave me a little bit more, I would have won,

380
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: or whatever the case may be. But then you look

381
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 3: at those other weeks, the twenty sevens, the twenty threes

382
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 3: to thirteen's, the sixteenes. You need Kittle in your lineup

383
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: every single week, and you need to live with the

384
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 3: down weeks knowing that in any given week he can

385
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: explode and give you probably twice as many points as

386
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 3: any other tight end that you could stream over him.

387
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 2: And I know it's been up and down, but right

388
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: now you look at the top five tight ends, and

389
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: four of them are names that we would expect. Travis Kelce,

390
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: TJ Hawkinson, Mark Andrews, George Kittle, you know, Darren Waller

391
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: just outside, just Darren Waller sitting at nine, Dallas Goddard

392
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: at eight. So a lot of the a lot of

393
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 2: the usual suspects hanging around the top of the tight

394
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: end scoring rankings right now. And then Jalen Waddle and

395
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 2: this was more of I think a sigh of relief

396
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: for a lot of us because we felt like the

397
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: big Jalen Waddle game was coming. It hadn't quite happened.

398
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: It finally happened this week against the New England Patriots

399
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty one yards and a touchdown for Waddle.

400
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: The opportunities had been there, and obviously we know Tyreek

401
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: Hill is sucking all the oxygen out of the atmosphere

402
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 2: and he's already over one thousand yards by the way,

403
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: two thousand yards very much within the realm of possibilities

404
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: for Tyreek. But you know, I think this was just

405
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 2: for a lot of people who were frustrated wondering where

406
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 2: the big Jalen Wattle blow up game was. It finally happens,

407
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: So I think we can all sort of breathe a

408
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 2: sigh of relief and understand that the targets are there,

409
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 2: the opportunity is there, and it's just a matter of,

410
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: you know, the damn finally broke, I think for Jalen Waddle.

411
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is life with Jalen Waddle right, a

412
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 3: lot like George Kittle, you got to accept the down

413
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 3: weeks because those big blow up weeks are They're too

414
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: good not to have in your lineup.

415
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely, So those are the guys that we like. These

416
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 2: are the guys who broke our hearts. Who is your

417
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: big disappointment for a week? Eight?

418
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: Oh, we moved the coup. We got rid of the

419
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup bobblehead because he's been playing so poorly as

420
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 3: of like fifty yards in his last two games combined.

421
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 3: He gave you a buck fifty almost in two weeks ago.

422
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: So yeah, last week we were like, Okay, this is

423
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: Cup's worst game that he did not get hurt in

424
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: since twenty twenty, and then he followed it up with

425
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 3: an even worse game this week. But The thing is,

426
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 3: it's not his fault. It's not Pooka Nakua's fault. It's

427
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 3: really on I would blame Matthew Stafford. I know he

428
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: got injured in yesterday's game, but he has not lived

429
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 3: up two expectations. That being said, you are never sitting

430
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup, like I understand. The last two weeks have

431
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 3: been very disappointing. He's the wide receiver seventy four on

432
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 3: the week right now with another game still to be played,

433
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: but one hundred and fifty yards and a touchdown a

434
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: couple weeks ago. Very few wide receivers bring that upside.

435
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 3: You just got to live with the down weeks.

436
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, nobody has the ceiling or a few people,

437
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: I should say, have the ceiling that Cooper Cup does.

438
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 3: I know he's had two bad weeks. You just move

439
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 3: on from that.

440
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: So all these defenses for all these years have been

441
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 2: trying to figure out how to stop Patrick Mahomes. Apparently

442
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: the thing that stops Patrick Mahomes is the flu Carolin

443
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 2: flew like symptoms earlier in the week. Credit the Broncos defense, sough.

444
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 2: They went out, they made some plays, they forced turnovers,

445
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: they harassed him. The Broncos defense had a very good day.

446
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 2: It was just one of those days. Every once in

447
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: a while it happens, even to guys like Patrick Mahomes.

448
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: Five point six fantasy points for Mahomes. It was just

449
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 2: a frustrating day for the Chiefs offense all around. You know,

450
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: I don't really know what to say beyond that, other

451
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 2: than you just shake it off and you plug Mahomes

452
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: back in your lineup next week. In fact, we just

453
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 2: promote it. They've got the game in Germany against the Dolphins,

454
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: which should be a very high scoring contest. So again,

455
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: you just brushed this one off. Hopefully you survived it.

456
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: If not, you plug it back in your lineup and

457
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: you get ready for Week nine. That'll do it for

458
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: this edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Be sure

459
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 2: to listen for our second half fantasy predictions tomorrow, as

460
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: well as top waiver wire targets. A happy, safe, and healthy,

461
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: do good and live well, and we'll talk to you

462
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: again real soon. M M.
