Speaker 1: Screaming at the TV again because somebody who can't hear

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: you dropped an open pass? Did you just drop your

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: RB one for a kicker? I thought maybe your fantasy

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: draft is a good first state idea. You're probably just

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: blindsided by hunger. Luckily, Snickers is here to pick your

Speaker 1: it almost through an entire week one. Now, dude, it

22
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: goes by so quick, doesn't it. It does. I always

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: I always break the season down into thirds. Um, like

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: the first six weeks or so, um, we're all excited

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: because football is back and it's new, and it's excited.

26
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: We're like, yeah, all right, where we don't have to

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: do like make up fight fakett takes anymore. And then

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: like weeks you know, seven through like twelve or thirteen,

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: we're as far from the end as we are from

30
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: the beginning. It's like, man, this is kind of a grind.

31
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: And by like week fourteen, we've like we've been doing

32
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: this for a while, and it's like I'm tired of

33
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: looking at each other and like, let's just make the

34
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: season be over, Like let's get the fantasy playoffs. Uh,

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: and let's go because it's always a pleasure to look

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: at you, my friend. No it's not. It's not weeks.

37
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't like looking at me for seventeen weeks. So

38
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: I know how that goes. Behind the glass it is,

39
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: Sir Edward L. Murphy esquire, what's up, Murph? How's it going? Guys?

40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: It goes. I love its finally back. It sounds cliche

41
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: to say it feels good to be here, but sitting

42
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: on your couch all day watching so many games, and

43
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: thankfully us on the West Coast had the weather delays.

44
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: We had football literally from ten am andtol about that

45
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: game is actually not overous. I mean, seriously, if I

46
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: think I don'la just caught a past I I tweeted

47
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: this yesterday that if I had left here and got

48
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: in my car at kickoff of the early games, I

49
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: could have driven nearly six hours to my mom's house

50
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: in northern California and still caught like most of the

51
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: third quarter in the fourth quarter of that Titans Dolphins game,

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: that's how long things went on there. So I got

53
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: planned to talk about. Obviously, we're gonna recap a lot

54
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: of what happened in Week one. I'll give you some

55
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: waiver wire options as well, because we know plenty of

56
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: people looking for help now because of some injuries and

57
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: just some underperformance and things that maybe, yeah, you're a

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: little bit freaked out on. Plus, we're gonna play over

59
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: reaction theater some of the things that happened in Week

60
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: one that have people kind of freaked out one way

61
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: or another. We'll we'll kind of talk about them, we'll

62
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: tell you whether or not you should be overreacting, and

63
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: we'll probably just have some fun for a lot of

64
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: different people out there. But at the beginning, as we

65
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: always do, let's do some news. We will start in

66
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers injured his knee during the Sunday

67
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: night game against the Chicago Bears. Comes back, as al

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: Michaels mentioned, and Willis read type fashion, leads the Packers

69
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: to a win. Obviously, we saw him gut that out FABS,

70
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: But now the question is what's he gonna do? Is

71
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: he going to be ready for week two? They got

72
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: the Vikings. I mean, that's that's not a joke, because

73
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: what we saw was was really spectacular second half and

74
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: you can tell that in terms of the way that

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: he was throwing the football in the way that he

76
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: was distributing his weight. That knee wasn't right. And of

77
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: course Bears fans there, they're they're they're just upset. But

78
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: think about it from a fantasy perspective too. Rogers goes down,

79
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: carded off the field and you're thinking, oh, man, if

80
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: you've got Aaron Rodgers not again. I lost him for

81
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: half of two thousand and seventeen, and now he's gonna

82
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: be out again. He comes back finishes with over twenty

83
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: five fantasy points or right around twenty five fantasy points,

84
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: despite the fact that in miss fourteen snaps and what

85
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: he does to the team around him is also just

86
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: as big as his own impact. Because Randall Cobb huge,

87
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: huge touchdown at the end of the contest there to

88
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: to to basically clinch it for the Packers and everyone

89
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: around Aaron Rodgers is at least ten times better because

90
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: of his ability to throw the football accurately and to

91
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: make plays with his right arm. When you bring Deshaun

92
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: Kaiser into that game, that deflates the entire offense, and

93
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: it deflates the value of every single player in that

94
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: Packers offense. So fingers crossed, it's fun to watch Aaron Rodgers.

95
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: I own no shares of him. I don't care. I

96
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: love watching him play football. Hopefully he's going to be fine. Yeah,

97
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm waiting for the annual Aaron Rodgers you know

98
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: radio show, uh one word mantra, you know, like, are

99
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: we gonna get another R. E. L A X Or

100
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: whatever it is that he always seems to have one

101
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: every single year and then he comes and figures things out,

102
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: So maybe we'll get one a little bit earlier than anticipated. Uh.

103
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: This year up to Seattle, Doug Baldwin suffers in mcl sprain.

104
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: He sat out most of the preseason because he had

105
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: an issue in his opposite me still waiting for kind

106
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: of further clarification on how bad this is, how much

107
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: time he could potentially miss, But I will tell you

108
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: what I was. You know, during the off season was

109
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: kind of big on Doug Baldwin. Felt like he was

110
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: coming off the board a little bit too late. People

111
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: were taking him, you know, in the the third round

112
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: or something like that. I thought he was at least

113
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: worth a second round pick. But as we got closer

114
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: to the start of the season and he talked more

115
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: and more about his his situation, how he's less than

116
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: a hundred percent, and how he's not gonna be a

117
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: hundred percent all year, it started to make me nervous.

118
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: Now he's got an issue with the other knee. I'm

119
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: terrified with Doug Baldwin, right, Yeah, I am too, and

120
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: um I have them in a couple of leagues I

121
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: was actually able to trade him a couple of weeks

122
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: ago in one of the leagues because I just I

123
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: didn't like the fact that he hadn't come back and

124
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: and and now you've got issues with both of these knees.

125
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: So now fantasy owners are thinking, is there a Seahawk

126
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: I can potentially replace him with Tyler Lockert could be

127
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: out there. Only had four targets against the Broncos, but

128
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: he did turn one of them into a touchdown. Brandon Marshall, Marcus,

129
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: are are we going there? Are we going to Brandon Marshall?

130
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: What year is this? I mean it's two? I mean

131
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: he had six targets and he had a touchdown. So

132
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: Marcus Grants looking at his waiver wire week two, you

133
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: going there? I'm not going there. I can't. You know,

134
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: look that the Seahawks one, they were surprisingly feisty yesterday.

135
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: You know, Russell Wilson doing Russell Wilson things and all that.

136
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: But I just I can't. I can't buy into Brandon

137
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: Marshall if I'm leading wide receiver. Help, I think there

138
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: are a lot of other places I'm going before I

139
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: get to Brandon Marshall. Yeah, no doubt about that. And um,

140
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: there are luckily some good wide receivers out there that

141
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: you can pick up, and we're gonna do that a

142
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: little bit later. But with Baldwin status up in the air,

143
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: what do we do with Russell Wilson? I mean, he's

144
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: still a must start, at least as far as I'm concerned.

145
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: But I mean, who's he throwing to now? Will Who

146
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: the hell is? Will this lie? Will this Lee go? Dogs?

147
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, you know, for for anybody who

148
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: follows the University of Washington football, I know they would

149
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: know will this lie? But for the rest of us,

150
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: we kind of got our introduction yesterday, and I think,

151
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, the thought was, maybe it takes in some

152
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: time to work in and who knows, maybe maybe this

153
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: was a matchup because the Broncos have struggled against tight ends.

154
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, will this Lee looks like a thing now.

155
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: And you know, again, everything about the Seahawks offense makes

156
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: me nervous. Russell Wilson's kind of the one thing I

157
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: feel the most confident in. But at some point you

158
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: can't keep taking weapons away from him and expecting him

159
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: to perform. And even even a guy like Russell Wilson,

160
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: it's It's a lot to ask and I just wonder,

161
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, how how much more confident we can be

162
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: in him week to week if he just keep it

163
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: losing pieces left and right. So we'll see big one

164
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: down in Tennessee. The Laney Walker dislocates his ankle, has

165
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: some associated fractures along with that, and signs right now

166
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: point to him being out for the rest of the year.

167
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: But that was just part of what was a fairly

168
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: disastrous day for the Tennessee Titans scause you have Walker

169
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: who goes out with the ankle injury, Marcus Mariotta sat

170
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: out a good portion of that game with an injured elbow,

171
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: and we saw Blaine Gabbert for maybe the last half

172
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: of that game. Taylor's Juan left with a concussion. So

173
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: this was this is not a great start for Mike

174
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: Rabel's head coaching career. Three key players on your offense

175
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: in the first game. But the Landy Walker one is

176
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: maybe a big one because it's a position that isn't

177
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: particularly deep to begin with, tight end, and now you've

178
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: taken a major producer out of the talent pool there. Yeah,

179
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: and you're not going to be looking at Jenue Smith

180
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: there to replace de Lanny Walker's production. There are going

181
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: to be some other options out there on the waiver wire.

182
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: We talked about Distley. I don't know if you want

183
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: to go there. George Kittle would be the target, the

184
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: tight end that I am targeting off the waiver wire

185
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: in all of my leagues. But we can't really answer

186
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: the question of if or if not we're gonna have

187
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. But a lot of these targets, I mean,

188
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: you would think Corey Davis is going to see more

189
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: targets funneled his way. He had thirteen against the Dolphins

190
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: in what was like a game that was a weird game.

191
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: It was so odd, and he ended up with double

192
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: digit PPR points, had six catches. A guy that slid

193
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: down rankings for for some reason or another because maybe

194
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: he didn't do much in the preseason, but there was

195
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: still a lot of positive reports about him. So I

196
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: hate to see a guy go down, especially a guy

197
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: like Delaney Walker. But when you think about where some

198
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: of those targets may end up going, Corey Davis could

199
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: end up being a guy who's going to see ten, twelve,

200
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: maybe more targets weekend and week out. From whatever quarterback

201
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: the Titans are going to be throwing out there, but

202
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: this offense, and it was odd to see the way

203
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: that things started because if you if you look at

204
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: the the the play by play in the backfield, Derrick

205
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: Henry was getting all the burn right, and then Dion

206
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: Lewis came in and Dean Lewis took over, and Dion

207
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: Lewis now looks like, at least for one week, the

208
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: better fantasy back in Tennessee. Well, I mean I was,

209
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: I was definitely on the Bean Lewis train, But I

210
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: do wonder how much now not having not having Delaney

211
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: Walker is going to impact Dean Lewis because he is

212
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: obviously the better pass catching back there, and we saw

213
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: that in the game on Sunday. You do wonder. I mean,

214
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: obviously Corey Davis becomes a bigger part of the offense,

215
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: he gets more targets funneled his way. But I mean

216
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: you look up and down the rest of that roster

217
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: for Tennessee, I mean, who do you really trust to

218
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: a lot of passes? I mean, Taj Sharp, you mean

219
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: you mentioned John new Smith. I know Taywan Taylor was

220
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: getting some burn at the end of the preseason, but

221
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: this really becomes a passing offense now that I think

222
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: sort of funnels through Corey Davis and Dion Lewis, so

223
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: I think that role expands, although this could be a

224
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: situation where we even see both backs on the field

225
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: at the same time, as Louis maybe becomes kind of

226
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: a slot guy or a guy who splits out a

227
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: little bit, and Derrick Henry is the guy in the

228
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: backfield and the bruiser. And also, don't forget I get it.

229
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry ended up with a very bad stat line

230
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: from fantasy perspective, but he also did have a long

231
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: touchdown run negated by a penalty, so it's not like

232
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: he went out there and put up an absolute stinker.

233
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to look at those things. I mean,

234
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: we saw some drops by the Chargers wide receivers that

235
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: could have made Philip Rivers stat line much bigger. George

236
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: Kale dropped a long touchdown potentially that could have made

237
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: his stat line a little bit bigger. So Henry at

238
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: the end of the day didn't give you what you

239
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: were hoping for, um, But part of that was because

240
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: he did have a long, potentially productive run. Uh called

241
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: back because of a holding penalty. Other tight end news,

242
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: greg Olsen suffered a foot injury in the game against

243
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: the Cowboys on Sunday. He was seen on the sideline

244
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: with a walking boot on his right foot and crutches

245
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: and crutches. That is the same foot that he suffering

246
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: a fractured in fractured in last season. Ended up having

247
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: surgery that took him out for a good chunk of

248
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: the year. Um, it's bad news obviously that it is

249
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,479
Speaker 1: happening again and again. This is one more potentially productive

250
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: tight end out of the pool. Um. I will tell

251
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: you that I was I was concerned about Greg Olsen

252
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: coming in, obviously being hurt last year and just sort

253
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: of being a guy who is an older player who's

254
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: kind of on the the end of his career. I

255
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: don't know how long this takes him out, Um, But

256
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean, what does this mean? DJ Moore, Devin Functious,

257
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean, where where does this impact anything in the

258
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: Panthers offense? Well, at the tight end position. Now you're

259
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: looking Ian Thomas, I mean potentially I'm not picking him

260
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: up off the waiver wire. Uh, Tory Smith saw some targets.

261
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: D J Moore was in the Bowl. Yes he was,

262
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean invisible, so he's rosterable, but not a guy

263
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: that I'm playing. If you look though last season at

264
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: the games where Greg Olsen was out, you know who

265
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: started to see that uptick in opportunities Den Funches. So

266
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: maybe Devin Funches, who had a bit of a stinker

267
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: in the opener too. But I mean, let's be honest

268
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: that that game was awful. As a Cowboys fan, I

269
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: threw up in my mouth at least three times. At

270
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: least three times because I well, I don't even want

271
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: to think about it. Dac looked awful. It was just

272
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: a bad game from a fantasy perspective overall. And when

273
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: you talk about the Carolina Panthers, I mean they didn't

274
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: have that one wide receiver who who came out and

275
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: put up a big stat line. It was a lot

276
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: of mediocre or worse numbers, So we'll see. The one

277
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: thing that I did like was that Cam Newton is

278
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: still Cam Newton. He's still running with the football, got

279
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: a goal line touchdown that might hurt Christian McCaffrey's production

280
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: when they get down inside the opposing team's five yard line.

281
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: But I think we all sort of expected that. So, um,

282
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: the Panthers right now, that team outside of CMC and

283
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, you're not looking at a whole lot of

284
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: fantasy value. Maybe Devin Funches will see there's not a

285
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: lot there, and yeah, this is a game. I want

286
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: to go back and kind of watch this. I'm gonna

287
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: go back into you know, shameless corporate cell promotion here,

288
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: go back in game, pass some of this stuff and

289
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: watch it a little bit, because you know, I want

290
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: to see if they can get Devin Funchs downfield and

291
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: have some something of a downfield passing game. Because Christian

292
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: McCaffrey lad that team in targets, nine targets, six catches,

293
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: forty five yards. But if that's going to be the

294
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: way this offense lives, that's bad news for Cam Newton

295
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: because then he needs to run the football and he

296
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: needs to score those rushing touchdowns in order to be

297
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: a productive fantasy quarterback. I mean, hundred and sixty one

298
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: passing yards, no touchdowns, no picks, but that's not really

299
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: gonna get it done for you. If he doesn't have

300
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: those fifty eight yards and a rushing touchdown, then it's

301
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: a problem for Cams. So, you know, I want. I'd

302
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: like to see Devin Funches get more involved. I'd like

303
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: to see DJ Moore actually get a target. Um Ian

304
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: had zero targets. He had one carry for three yards.

305
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: That was the extent of d J. Moore's productive Did

306
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: you see c J? I did see c J seven

307
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: carries and Jeffrey had ten, which, okay, by the way,

308
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: I knew this was going to happen. I knew it,

309
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: and I fell for it. I'm mad at myself for

310
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: falling for this. Right over the preseason, we kept seeing

311
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: the Panthers give Christian McCaffrey all these carries. Right he

312
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: was running between the tackles, he was running at the

313
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: gold line, and for a minute I started to believe, Wow,

314
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: maybe he really could get like, you know, five touches

315
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: a game, Like maybe he's really good up And like

316
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: I knew, I told myself, I'm like, the moment I

317
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: buy into it, we're gonna see c J. Anderson coming

318
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: back in again, and lo and behold, Christian McCaffrey get

319
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: sixteen touches. C J. Anderson gets seven touches, and I

320
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: knew it. I'm kicking myself and I should have been

321
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: smarter than that well, c just probably available on the

322
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: waiver wire in a lot of leaks, So I would

323
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: I would sort of project that Caroline is gonna look

324
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: and see if McCaffrey could handle the role of a

325
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: featured back. Maybe they give him a good number of

326
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: touches in week two. But if they find that that's

327
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: not going to be the case, don't be surprised c J.

328
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: Anderson starts putting a dent into those carries. He's not

329
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: gonna put a dent into CMC's targets because that's that's

330
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: not his game. That's his uh CMC, that's his bread

331
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: and butter. But don't be surprised if you're starting to

332
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: see some stat lines out there weekend and week out

333
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: where you know, McCaffrey's got ten to twelve carries, you know,

334
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: and CJ's getting somewhere between eight and ten, that that

335
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: is a possibility. I mean, that was always my my

336
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: belief anyway, once c J. Anderson joined the team, that

337
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: he was going to kind of be that goal line guy.

338
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I still think Cam Newton is the best

339
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: goal line back they have on their roster, but I

340
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: thought that, you know, when when they when Cam didn't

341
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: keep it and get into the end zone. That it

342
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: would be it would be C. J. Anderson getting some

343
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: of those looks. So who knows that that could still materialize.

344
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: It it didn't necessarily happen a ton. On Sunday, Cam

345
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: did lead them in in Carrie and carries. I mean,

346
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: that's I don't know. I don't think that bodes well

347
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: for the Panthers offense, but hey, it works for your

348
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: fantasy team if you've got at the Cam Newton on

349
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: your roster. On the other side of that game, the

350
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense was I mean, it was unwatchable, dude, it

351
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: was watchable. Um. You know Ezekiel Elliott, who we've kind

352
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: of banked on. I think the thing we've talked about

353
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys is that, hey, at least there's Zeke there, right,

354
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: and Zeke is going to dominate the touches. Zeke is

355
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: going to you know, he will, if not save them,

356
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: at least kind of keep them afloat. And he was

357
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: just okay on Sunday. He did have a rushing touchdown,

358
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: which which certainly saved a lot of people, right, But

359
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen carries sixty nine yards, he had three

360
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: catches for seventeen yards. It was a fairly pedestrian day

361
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: for Ezekiel Elliott. And again, if if that t if

362
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: that touchdown doesn't happen, there's nothing, there's nothing to talk

363
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: about here and and and this this is a problem

364
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: for it is and what was the strength of the

365
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: Cowboys the offensive line, and now there's uncertainty over Travick

366
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick, Joe Luney now playing at the center position.

367
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: And I mean Dak Prescott when he had the talent

368
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: around him a couple of seasons ago in his rookie campaign.

369
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: When you've got a Jason Witten and you've got Des Bryant,

370
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: who was still somewhat effective, he put up some numbers. Now,

371
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: when you look at the target share and you look

372
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: at the snaps played among wide receivers, you're looking at

373
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, who actually is now on the PPR radar. Uh,

374
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: No question about that. Deanta Thomas five targets, Alan Hearns three, uh,

375
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup one target, Terence Williams too. And there is

376
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: nothing done, nothing done in this past attack. Nothing the Cowboys.

377
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 1: And maybe Michael Gallup eventually becomes the guy. He certainly

378
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: has the most upside, I would think, but this offense

379
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: has no identity whatsoever outside of Ezeko Elliott. And if

380
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: the offensive line struggles and Zeke can't get it done

381
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: on the ground, we are seeing Dak Prescott. Maybe this

382
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: is what Dak Prescott is. Maybe the Cowboys in a

383
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: year or so we're gonna be looking back and thinking

384
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: we need to find another quarterback because if you look

385
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: at what he did last season in the second half

386
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: without Ezeko Elliott, he was brutal. Okay, Doc was awesome

387
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: in the first half of the season, second half of

388
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: the season brutal. First game this this season brutal. And

389
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, even in games where we're potentially and I

390
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: say we, because I've been a complicis paying for thirty

391
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: five years, are going to be playing from behind a lot.

392
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: I mean that was the case yesterday. Dad didn't do anything.

393
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: He did nothing. So Dak Prescott's not rosterable at this

394
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: point unless you're in a deep league, or in a

395
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: two QB league, or in a super flex league. And

396
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: maybe even then. I was an idiot and I sat

397
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson for Dak Prescott in a super flex league Okay,

398
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna win. I'm still gonna win. But I

399
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: mean I thought I thought I'd get more points from

400
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback than I would Chris Thompson. And I'm kicking

401
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: myself for that. But this offense now has no identity.

402
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: There's one player that you can play week in week out,

403
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: and it's Ezekiel Elliott. And that's it. As depressing as

404
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: it is for me as a Cowboys fan to say it.

405
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: That's all right now, Marcus. Even then, I will say

406
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: I picked out two things that were really disturbing about

407
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: Zeke's performance on Sunday. One, uh, the average time behind

408
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage three three point three four seconds

409
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: according to the next Gen Stats, which means he was

410
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: just kind of hanging out back there waiting for a

411
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: hole to open. I mean, that's that's kind of level Bell,

412
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: you know, kind of hanging and and hesitating and waiting

413
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: for something to happen and then going. So he was

414
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: waiting for stuff to come open. The other part is

415
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: that was happening. He saw eight or more defenders in

416
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: the box just thirtcent of the time, so it's not

417
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: like the Panthers were loading up the box. Specifically to

418
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: stop Ezekiel Elliott. They were kind of getting this done

419
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: with generally kind of a normal defense, and they still

420
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: held him the sixty nine rushing yards. I think it

421
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: speaks a little bit to that offensive line in Dallas,

422
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: and and it is it is worrisome. I mean, obviously,

423
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's wait another week or two before

424
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: we make you know, any major pronoun Smiths, but that

425
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: that is really really concerning. For quick quick note to

426
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker on injured reserve. I hope he's going to

427
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: be better and back next season. But um, anyone out

428
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: there who had Delaney and and he was one of

429
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: the top five or six tight ends drafted in fantasy leagues,

430
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to find a replacement. And it's gonna

431
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: be hard to find a replacement because Delaney Walker, to

432
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: me was one of the better, most reliable, underrated tight

433
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: ends in fantasy football. The waiver wire is going to

434
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: be your friend, yes, for for the rest of us.

435
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: So that is pretty much so all the news you

436
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: need to know. If have you ever made postrami at home,

437
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: I've never made it at home. Smoke salmon. I don't

438
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: need fish, all right. I forgot about that. Yes, slab, bacon, bacon, bacon,

439
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: all right, bacon, dut com feet, all that kind of stuff.

440
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: It's easy to make all that and more ride at

441
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: home with Jewels Suvi. Jeel makes it easy to try

Speaker 1: it's that's a mouthful man. Yeah, it is ducking tri tip.

461
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: Now that that's that's what I'm talking about. I will

462
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: tell you this. When I I lived I lived in

463
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: the city of Fresno for about five and a half years,

464
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: and um, the one thing that folks up their love

465
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: and can do well is they can cook a tri tip.

466
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: And it's it's great. You know when you go to

467
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: like you have to go to like banquets and awards,

468
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: dinners and stuff, and generally like your options are sort

469
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: of like chicken or fish or whatever. Do you get

470
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: tri tip at a lot of these at a lot

471
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: of these? Try tip for me is a so cal thing.

472
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: It's a California things because like when I lived on

473
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: the East Coast, nobody knows what it is, no tri

474
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: tip talking about it's a cut that nobody knows what

475
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: it is outside of California. So good. And the folks

476
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: in central California props to you guys because they do

477
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: it well. There was a place from an old radio

478
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: station around the corner Um used to do a tri

479
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: tip breakfast burrito. Oh dude, it was fantastic, was tri

480
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: tip like potatoes and eggs and stuff. Oh it was fans.

481
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: That sounds so it sounds so good, so good. Uh,

482
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: speaking of good, I got some guys that were really

483
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: really good in week one, and so I broke this down.

484
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: I got a list of players here and broke it

485
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: down into guys, do you believe the hype? Is there

486
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: reason to worry? And a group of guys where it's

487
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: just WTF, like some kind of weird things happened, and

488
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it means something. Maybe it was just

489
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: some weirdness, and we're gonna try to separate some of

490
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: the fact from the fiction on that one. So we'll

491
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: start with the believe the hype guys. And maybe the

492
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: biggest one was James Connor because we spent all week

493
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: last week talking about Levian Bell, whether he was going

494
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: to show up, what this means. Can James Connor handle

495
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: the load? If he meets to hundred and thirty five

496
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: rushing yards, fifty seven receiving yards, two touchdowns, do you

497
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: believe the hype? On James Conner. Dude, I'm in. I

498
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: was all in when we heard that Levian Bell was

499
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: gonna miss week one. All in. You know, I made

500
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: that trade with a bar. I made that trade with

501
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: a bar, which some of us are kind of tired

502
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: of you using a bars your farm, but it's like

503
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: your pharmacists. The last season. I made a trade with

504
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: him and he absolutely burned me. So so, but like

505
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: you are the Yankees and he's like the A's or

506
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: the Expos or something like that. You know, hey, well

507
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: not these are pretty good. Now, these are pretty good.

508
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: So I am in if Connor is somehow available in

509
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: your league, playing another league, because it's not good. But

510
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: he needs to be owned in all leagues. He needs

511
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: to be in lineups. He saw every single running back

512
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: snap on offense for the Steers. He was amazing. Okay,

513
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with his haircut, but

514
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: when you look at his stats, unbelievable. And at this point,

515
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:36,479
Speaker 1: Marcus does that performance hurt Levian Bell Because Levian Bell

516
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: missed time a couple of seasons agoing D'Angelo Williams was

517
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: just as good. James Connor first game of no Levian

518
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: Bell just as good that that. The Angelo Williams point,

519
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: I think is a big one. And I wrote this

520
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday night in my Things I Learned column, which

521
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: you can find on NFL dot Com at NFL dot

522
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: com slash grant shameless self emotion, there's, um, you know,

523
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: I sort of joke that live Bell is a system

524
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: running back. I mean, I mean it's not, that's not

525
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: completely true. But you look back twenty sixteen when Love

526
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: wasn't there for the first two games of the season,

527
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: DiAngelo Williams combined two hundred and thirty seven yards rushing

528
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: yards and a parent touchdowns in his first two games.

529
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: Now James Conner comes in a hundred total yards and

530
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. So obviously there's something about the way the Steelers.

531
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: Either they're really good at scouting running backs or developing

532
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: running back talent or just putting together a running game,

533
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: but they seem to be able to get above replacement

534
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: level production when Levan Bella is out of the lineup. So,

535
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it certainly bodes well if you've

536
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: got James Conner. Um, I was joking that at some point,

537
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, leve Bell might be grabbing his keys and

538
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: and heading out to Cleveland. You know, hey guys, yeah,

539
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm here, back back now. So I'm efforting to get

540
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 1: D'Angelo on one of our shows here. Maybe maybe Thursday.

541
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,479
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. I texted him yesterday and said, hey, man,

542
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: can you come on the show today. He's like, no,

543
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: I've got a coach a football league. And I said, okay,

544
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: what are you doing now? Now? This is during the games.

545
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm in a deer stand. He was, yeah, but D'Angelo.

546
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: One thing to know about d' angelo real quick, he

547
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: hates fantasy football. He hates it, hates it. So I

548
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: want to have him on and have a debate about

549
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: fantasy football with him and let him talk about the

550
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: Steelers in this running back situation. Interesting, Uh, next one,

551
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick fits magic four seventeen passing yards, five total touchdowns,

552
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: four through the air, one on the ground that if

553
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: you had Peyton Barber you're probably still fuming about. But yes,

554
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I mean, we we always joked that

555
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick is destined to start at least a handful

556
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: of games every single year, and it always seems like

557
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: at least one of them he puts out some kind

558
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: of bonkers numbers, right, I just I just didn't think

559
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: it would be against the Saints, and we who like

560
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: I have the Saints defense starting same same I got

561
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: a fat negative four from that. I started Mike Evans

562
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: reluctantly because of what Marshaw and Lattimore did to him

563
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: last season, not Marcus Latimore, and it blew up in

564
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: my face, like Ryan Fitzpatrick turning into Dan Marino. If

565
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, what the hell is going on out there?

566
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: That's what mis Lamarty would say right now. But here's

567
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: the thing. Okay, forty two fantasy points. Forty two Marcus

568
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: and we'll not be picked up in the majority of

569
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: fantasy football leagues, nor should he because he's got the

570
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: Eagles next week? Or am I wrong? No, you're you're

571
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: not wrong. Um again, like people really weren't starting him,

572
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: you know. I don't think a lot of folks grabbed

573
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: him this week because nobody expected things like this to happen.

574
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: And you're right, I think people are gonna look at

575
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: and be like, yeah, but it's it's Ryan Fitzpatrick, and

576
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: it's it's the Eagles, you know, like it's the Beard,

577
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: it's the of the Beard. So basically what you're saying

578
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: is you're not You're not buying the hype. No, I'm not.

579
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean, if they were playing a defense that was

580
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: a bit more vulnerable, maybe in two QB he's gonna

581
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: get picked up in two QB's leagues. But I mean

582
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: he may not score that many points in his next

583
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: three games combined, assuming he plays in the next three games,

584
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: because at some point Jamis Winston is gonna be back

585
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: and then there might be a quarterback. Yeah, no, probably, Okay,

586
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Okay, this was you know, his second career

587
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: start against the Chargers. I mean, that defense is gonna

588
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: be so good and I don't know, but I don't

589
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: think he can two six passing yards and four touchdowns. Um.

590
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: I will say this unreal. They are fun to watch.

591
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: There's so much him and Tyreek Killers, so much watching

592
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: you guys that get into a huddle with like a

593
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: bunch of rocks and sticks and then all right, dude,

594
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: Tyreeki just go that way and all right and I'm

595
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: just gonna throw it up there. And Tyreek Hill, who

596
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: dear dear lord. I mean, he looked tremendous and he

597
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: held a lot of people win in week one or

598
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: actually get on the way to a win in week one.

599
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: He looked better. Uh, he looked like one of the

600
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: best playmakers in the league. And we sort of knew

601
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: that was going to be the case after what he

602
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: did last season. But I also heard in the off

603
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: season there's a little shape thrown on him because of

604
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: the new quarterback, and they bring it Sammy Watkins. Hey, guys,

605
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: let me give you a Let me give you a

606
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: quick bit of advice here. Sammy Watkins is worthless and

607
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: fantasy football. Okay, I'm done with He is worthless and

608
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: fantasy football. I hated him last year and fantasy football.

609
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: He did very very little outside of the touchdowns, and

610
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 1: his yard agin interception totals were nothing yesterday, next to nothing.

611
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins is a basically a very high paid waiver

612
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: wire player in the world of fantasy football who will

613
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: on occasion give you a good stat line and get

614
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: you excited to play him the following week, only for

615
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: him to give you another stink. I think. I think

616
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: the big fear about Tyreek Hill was that people were

617
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: worried about his touchdown numbers because you, I mean, you

618
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: look last year, right, and you look at his receiving touchdowns, Um,

619
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: they were all long plays. His shortest receiving touchdown last

620
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: season was thirty yards, right, I mean, I'm looking at

621
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: thirty sixty four, fifty six, seventy forties, sixty four, and

622
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: I think I think the fear was like, hey, that's great.

623
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: That's a lot of asking a lot again, right, and

624
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: then he takes a slam and he goes like, you know,

625
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: fifty eight yards because he's just that good. I mean,

626
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: which was a just an amazing place. So um, yeah,

627
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean I still think there's you know, it's it's

628
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: hard to ask a guy to continually score touchdowns of

629
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: thirty plus yards all the time. But I think the

630
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: way that the Chiefs want to use him, and and

631
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: obviously Patrick Mahomes seems to be comfortable getting him the

632
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: ball in any situation. Uh, maybe maybe the big touchdowns

633
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: aren't there, but maybe that means there's more touchdowns or

634
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,959
Speaker 1: more targets and more catches there, so he may make

635
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: up for it in other ways. Let's move on now.

636
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. Yes, big game for the non elite. There

637
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: was a flat connaissance. I'm telling you it begins the

638
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: flat conaissance has be done about that. Three touchdowns two

639
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: thirty six yards, one of the better fantasy performances of

640
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: the weekend, a hundred one point started passer rating. Guess what,

641
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: he's always playing the Bills. Bill stink. There's no doubt

642
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: about that that the Bills are not a they're not

643
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: a good defense, they're not really good offense. They're they're

644
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: going to get picked on by by fantasy folks pretty

645
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: much all year long. So that's that's something to keep

646
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: an eye on. But um, I do think that that

647
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: there's something there. I mean, we saw Michael Crabtree get involved, obviously,

648
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: John Brown, how do you touchdown in that one? And

649
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: I just think you've got a situation where Flacco was

650
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: just really efficient. I mean, a seventy three and a

651
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: half percent completion percentage is kind of unreal, that's a

652
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: little bit ridiculous, But um he just he looked good

653
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: getting the ball out in a game where the weather

654
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: kind of got bad, and eventually they just didn't need him.

655
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: I mean they just kind of, you know, they took

656
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: him off the field put Lamar Jackson in. So I

657
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: remain optimistic. I am. I'm seeing Flacco is not my

658
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: QB one. He's not a guy i'd start every week,

659
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: but man, when the matchup right, I'd feel okay with him. Yeah, yeah, no,

660
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. I think he's a matchup based starter.

661
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: And you know, Matt money Smith talked about him. We

662
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: talked about him on the show earlier in the week.

663
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: If you need a streaming quarterback a daily fantasy play,

664
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: he was a good one based on that matchup. And

665
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: what's amazing that he put up those numbers. Uh, mostly

666
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: in what was a blowout because they didn't do much

667
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: of anything in the second half throwing the football and

668
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: then Lamar Jackson came in. So uh, Flack was not

669
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: a gayme starting every week, but when the matchup is right,

670
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: with the weapons he now has, Michael Crabtree, Smoky Brown,

671
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: Willie Snead, He'll get Hayden Hurst back in a few weeks.

672
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: You could do worse. You could do worse. Uh. Finish

673
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: up this segment with the section with a couple of

674
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: the Washington running backs. Adrian Peterson hundred and sixty six

675
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: total yards and a touchdown. Seventy of those shards came

676
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: as a receiver. Unreal. I think like you know sixty

677
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: of them came on like one play basically, but still

678
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: they put up the numbers. And then Chris Thompson total

679
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: yards for I know, right and a touchdown, UM buying

680
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: one both neither. How are you feeling right now? I

681
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: mean I I did Chris Thompson. UM. I drafted him

682
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues. I sat him in a

683
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: few of those leagues, as I mentioned, UM played him

684
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: in a few two But people for kid, how good

685
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: he was last year and the ten games he played

686
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: he was it was one of the better PPR backs

687
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: that wasn't elite, Let's put it that way. And I

688
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: do like him a whole heck of a lot because

689
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: what does Alex Smith like to do? And I get it,

690
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: you hear the ball downfield more all last say, but

691
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: he else had Tyreek Kill. Um, he didn't have Tyree

692
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: Kill in Washington. So he's gonna be throwing the ball

693
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: to Chris Thompson. He's gonna be throwing the ball to

694
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: Jordan Reed, who also had a very good game. And

695
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: if he stays healthy, which is a monster, if he's

696
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a really good draft bargain at the end

697
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: of the season. But the fact of the matter here

698
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: is that Chris Thompson isn't every week starter. And I've

699
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: learned that the hard way. Adrian Peterson, I don't know

700
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: if I'm on board with that. I don't know. Maybe

701
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: I sell high on him, Marcus, Maybe I sell high

702
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, I'm still not buying it. I mean, yeah,

703
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: he had he had the seven yards receiving. It was

704
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: on three targets. He had two catches, one of them

705
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: a fifty two yard catching run at which he fumbled.

706
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: He fumbled at the end of that. He played by

707
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: the way, Um, you know, the twenty six six carries

708
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: for nineties six yards. I mean the number looks nice.

709
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's fairly inefficient. And I think if

710
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: you ask me, Um, and I just wonder if he

711
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: continues to get that amount of opportunity. I mean, like,

712
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: that's the thing. We know, Adrian Peterson is great. If

713
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: you can give him thirty touches. We know that is

714
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: that going to be available to him each and every week.

715
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: And I'm just not sure that that's going to be

716
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: the case for him every week. So I'm I'm in

717
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: on Chris Thompson, still not so much on Adrian Peterson.

718
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: You know, have you ever looked at your credit card

719

720

Speaker 1: one monthly payment at a lower fixed interest rate, Because

723
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,480

741
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: or may not believe the hype on it now is

742
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: the bad, right because with the good, you gotta get

743
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: the bad. Take the good, you take the bad, you

744
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: take them both. In there you have the facts of life. Um. So,

745
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: some guys that the disappointed, and maybe you're worried, maybe

746
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: you're not. Deshaun Watson hundred and seventy six passing yards,

747
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown and interception, forty rushing yards, but fewer than

748
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: twelve fantasy points in most leagues, I know we expected

749
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: some regret. Did we expect this regression? Though? Well it's

750
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: Week one, and to be fair, that offensive line is bad.

751
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: It's bad. It's bad that that kid was running for

752
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: his life. Uh, in parts of that game, and the

753
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: average over twenty seven fantasy points a game in six

754
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: starts last season, it was never in a million years

755
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna happen again. Ever, I mean, regression was guaranteed. But

756
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: also keep in mind, you know he was one yard

757
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: from getting a touchdown pass DeAndre Hopkins tackled at the one,

758
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: and then of course Alfred Bleue. Uh, you vultured that

759
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: touchdown Lamar Miller out there, so it could have been

760
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: a little bit better. Maybe he was giving you a

761
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: fifteen to sixteen, which is a lot better, at least

762
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: aesthetically than eleven. I'm not worried yet, But also in

763
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: the leagues that I have stock in and and Deshaun Watson,

764
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: I was expecting a guy who was going to regress

765
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: down from twenty seven points a game. I was expecting

766
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: eighteen to nineteen points per game. That's sort of where

767
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: I was with him. I think he will bounce back,

768
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: but you have to keep in mind he was never

769
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: gonna be that good. It was historic, like he was

770
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: on pace to score more points than anybody in the

771
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: history of fantasy football. It was not gonna happen. Again,

772
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 1: He's still a good player. He can use his feet,

773
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 1: that's a big advantage. Watson will be fine as long

774
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 1: as you temper your expectations down from what he did

775
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: last season. Yeah. I mean, look, this is the guy

776
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: who he stands in the pocket a long time, He

777
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: holds onto the ball a long time, uh nearly three

778
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 1: and a half seconds according to next Gen stats time

779
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: to throw, and he likes to heave the ball down field,

780
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: which hey look to to do that, to run around

781
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: and then just chuck it downfield. It's kind of fun

782
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: to watch and when when it works, it's exciting and

783
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: big plays happened. But you know, you also it's a

784
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: little percentage. You know, you throw picks, you throw in completions. Uh.

785
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: And also I just do wonder after what happened to

786
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: them last year. Bill Belichick has had all off season

787
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: to get ready for this game. I mean he's had

788
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: all season to watch what what what they did wrong,

789
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: what other teams did wrong? Um, and look, man, if

790
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: you give Belichick four months to prepare or whatever, it is,

791
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: like these kind of things happen so um. So I

792
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,479
Speaker 1: think there's some regression. I think it's also a little

793
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: bit of a matchup issue of what happened in Week one.

794
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: Devonte Freeman just fifty total yards. He did leave the

795
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: game with a little bit of an injury. He says

796
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: he's going to be fine, and so there's nothing really

797
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,479
Speaker 1: to worry about in theory this week. But I don't

798
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: know that that people were expecting fifty total yards in

799
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: the opener, uh, for a guy that they probably spent

800
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 1: the second round pick on. Yeah, bad start, but again

801
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: had the injury, left the game and ended up being

802
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: on the short side of the snaps and the touches

803
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: when compared to Tevin Coleman. Uh. Tevin Coleman had actually

804
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: too fewer snaps uh than DeVonta Freeman, so let me

805
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 1: correct myself there. But fantasy points wise, it was Coleman

806
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: because he scored that touchdown. I'm not concerned about Freeman

807
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: in terms of his statistical abilities. I just want to

808
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: make sure that this guy is going to be healthy

809
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: out there, and we know that he's had some new issues.

810
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: He had some new issues last season opens up, this

811
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: season gets a little bit banged up, so um, I

812
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: would wait and see what Freeman can give you on

813
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 1: a regular basis, and at some point, potentially there's a

814
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: cell high opportunity for DeVonta Freeman if you feel like

815
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: there's going to be a even split in that backfield.

816
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't see that with Tevin Coleman. I think Tevin

817
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: Coleman is going to continue to see the same number

818
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 1: of snaps that he would when Freeman is healthy. But Freeman.

819
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: One thing that surprised me though was his lack of

820
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: his lack of opportunities in the passing game in that

821
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: contest as well, because a lot of what Freeman does

822
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: and a lot of where his value is drawn is

823
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: from catching the ball out of the backfield, and uh,

824
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: I need to see more of that. Freeman is a

825
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: guy who can give you fifty catches in the season,

826
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: and we didn't see too much of that uh in

827
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: the opener. A couple of things that that do concern

828
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: me moving forward about DeVonta Freeman. I mean, next week

829
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: they've got the Panthers. The next three games are at home,

830
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: which is a positive, but the next week is against

831
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: the Panthers, who we talked about earlier kind of shutting

832
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: down easy kill Elliott. Uh. And then they have the Saints, who,

833
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 1: you know, all things considered, obviously, yesterday was bad for them,

834
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: but this is still a good defense. Uh. And even

835
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 1: still wasn't as though Peyton Barber had a huge day.

836
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: It was more of Ryan Fitzpatrick in the passing game.

837
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: So the matchups make me a little bit nervous. But

838
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: I just do think that at some point he's gonna

839
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: get that volume that that hopefully makes it worth the

840
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: draft pick that you spent on him. Um, next on

841
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: the list another Freeman, Royce Freeman. Uh, it was not

842
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 1: the start that a lot of folks would have expected. Suddenly,

843
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: you know, when we thought that Freeman Royce Freeman would

844
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: be potentially in a time share, I think the thought

845
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: was other Thans DeVante Booker is gonna work like Philip Lindsay. Lindsay,

846
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: the rookie who over the week last week called our

847
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: own Tarrell Davis and asked, can I wear your number

848
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: thirty Jersey? And t d said absolutely, go for it. Uh.

849
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: So he went out there and I won't say he

850
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: looked like Darrell Davis, but you know he certainly surprised

851
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Seventeen touches a hundred and two

852
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: total yards had a touchdown. That's compared the fifteen touches

853
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: and seventy one yards for Royce Freeman. Um. Yeah, So

854
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: suddenly suddenly there is a committee in Denver, just not

855
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: just not the one we thought it would be. I know,

856
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: I'm bummed out because I love Freeman. I'm not giving

857
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: up on him just yet. He did average four point

858
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry, but Denver played the hot hand,

859
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: and who's to say that Freeman won't be the hot

860
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: hand in week two when they play the Oakland Is

861
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: we'll see they might both be the hot hand potentially.

862
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: And then this not percentage was thirty nine to thirty

863
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: five in favor of Freeman, but it was very close, Marcus.

864
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: So this one sort of uh came out of nowhere

865
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: for me, Lindsay, coming in and seeing that many snaps

866
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: and seeing that many touches and more touches than Freeman.

867
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: That I get it. He looked good in the preseason. Um,

868
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: I just did not think that he was going to

869
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: come in and make that sort of an impact in

870
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: week one. That being said, the Broncos still have a

871
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: whole lot of faith in Royce Freeman. We'll see if

872
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: he can get it going in week two. I mean,

873
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,720
Speaker 1: I think the the upside for anybody with Royce Freeman,

874
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: any who's kind of freaked out about this is that

875
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: when it was the fourth quarter, uh and the Broncos

876
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: were were driving to either take the lead or kind

877
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: of closed the game out, it was Royce Freeman that

878
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: was getting those touches. I mean, they want him to

879
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: be the hammer. He's going to be the closer in

880
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: this offense. So if the Broncos can get themselves in

881
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: some favorable game scripts, uh, and get in some situations

882
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: where they are winning in the last five minutes of games,

883
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: then I think that bodes well for Royce Freeman. But uh, suddenly,

884
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: Philip lindsay is is a force to be reckoned with

885
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: and a guy that is going to get I think

886
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot of looks off the waiver wire, no doubt.

887
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about Ezekiel Elliott, so we'll

888
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: move off from that. But Marquis Goodwin one target, zero catches. Um.

889
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean I was worried about the forty niner offense

890
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. I know we all were, but I

891
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 1: did not see one target, zero catches for Marcus good Yeah,

892
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: but he also left the game. He was banged up

893
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh, as you mentioned, you know he

894
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: had one target. Um. I believe it was a quad

895
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: injury that he had and so not the start we

896
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: were hoping for. But also that Minnesota Vikings defense is

897
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: good anywhere, especially on their home field, so I'm not

898
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: particularly surprised that Goodwin didn't put up a good number

899
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: because of the matchup. He missed him time. Things will

900
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: get better. In fact, if someone is freaking out over

901
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: a week one stinker and wants to trade me Mark.

902
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: He's goodwin at a price. I will certainly take that.

903
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: Because the best receiver in San Francisco in this contest

904
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: was Dante Pettis based on the numbers, and that's not

905
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna be something that happens weekend in weekend. No, and

906
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,959
Speaker 1: that was I mean Dante Pettis is from what I saw,

907
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: he has become kind of a best ball candidate for me.

908
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean he he's got the long speed. We know,

909
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: he's kind of a deep threat. I mean, he's the

910
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: guy that this year I expected to make an impact

911
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: more as a punt and right um. But obviously they

912
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: seem to like going downfield and he probably could have

913
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,959
Speaker 1: had another sound he dropped one in the end zone.

914
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: That seems to be a theme for one like the Chargers.

915
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: I mean George Kittle nine Cisco had one, right. Yeah,

916
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: it just seems to be a theme. But Dante Pettis,

917
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, he might have some some best ball,

918
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: some dfs kind of upside if if they're going to

919
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: use him like that, So uh yeah, that's I don't know,

920
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: it'll get better. The Niner's offense was bad outside of Kiddle,

921
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,240
Speaker 1: but we expected it to be bad because of that matchup.

922
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: Things will get better for Jimmy g and his Niner's

923
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: offense absolutely, So now w TF, man, Like some of

924
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 1: these guys that kind of had some weird days that

925
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: that we didn't see coming. The first one is Alex Collins,

926
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: because again, we were all about the Ravens all week long,

927
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: and Alex Collins was was chief among them. I mean,

928
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: that's a guy that that I liked a lot and

929
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: I have a lot of shares of him across my

930
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,919
Speaker 1: fantasy teams. And he got to touchdown early, and I thought, yeah,

931
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: we go, this is it. Here we go. I know,

932
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 1: seven carries, thirteen yards and a touchdown. He got game

933
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: scripted out of the game, just not the way we

934
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: would have got. I mean, he had five snaps and

935
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: touched the ball twice in the entire second half. Why

936
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: because Buffalo was getting doors blown off and the Ravens

937
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 1: have a Thursday game upcoming, So what did they do

938
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: the second half? Like a preseason game. That's exactly what

939
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: they do. It's like Week four in the preseason, and

940
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: we'll let Lamar Jackson get out there, buck out and

941
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: we'll get him out there. Borchard Perriman. Oh wait a minute,

942
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: he's out on the roster anymore. Um, everybody played except

943
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: for the guys that we started. So it is what

944
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: it is, guys. The matchup was there, It started off

945
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: very well when the team just went ahead. So so,

946
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean seven, it was unreal. The Ravens did the

947
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: smart thing. Not for your fantasy players, but I did

948
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: a smart thing. Yeah, So I mean that's one. You know,

949
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: you just gotta chalk it up to. It's just it's

950
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: just an unfortunate circumstance. The process was right, the results

951
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: didn't quite work out, but you know, just just shake

952
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 1: it off and try to come back next week. Austin Ekeler,

953
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: who's a name that you know. I think we talked

954
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: about a little bit in the preseason, but not that

955
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: much because we figured Melvin Gordon was going to dominate

956
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: the touches. But the necklick twenty two snaps, ten touches,

957
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenties six yards, he called all five

958
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: of his targets, he scored a touchdown. And this is

959
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: a guy that you know, I don't know, I know,

960
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of debate about whether you

961
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: want to handcuff running backs, and people go back and

962
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,959
Speaker 1: forth on that one. But at this point, Austin Heckler

963
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: is not a handcuff. I think he's becoming a guy

964
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 1: that and certainly in deeper leagues and in PPR leagues,

965
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: should just be on a roster at this point. Imagine

966
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: if you were smart enough to draft Gordon and then

967
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: Eckler in a best ball, like your two best running

968
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: backs are gonna be coming from the same team in

969
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: a week one. You're feeling really good about it. And

970
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: Matt money Smith mentioned it earlier on NFL Fantasy Live.

971
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: That course a playmaker, dude. I mean, he didn't even

972
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: get a lot of touches in this contest. He had

973
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: five targets, he caught them all, um. But in terms

974
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: of the snap counts, I mean, I'm sorry, fifty seven

975
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: at seventy from Melvin Gordon and Neckler was at cent.

976
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: So he's a playmaker in this offense. And I think

977
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: what the charges really did, Marcus was because the Chiefs

978
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: were so weak in their defensive backfield and their linebackers

979
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: are questionable. The best they really attacked those linebackers with

980
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: running backs. And that's why Gordon and Eckler had two

981
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 1: treat games. I mean, Gordon, did you see how many

982
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: targets and catches he had contest He led the team

983
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: in targets. It was ridiculous and it was all part

984
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,479
Speaker 1: of the game plan that the Chargers had put forth.

985
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: So Eckler is going to have games like this. He's

986
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: not gonna have games like this every single week because

987
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: he's not going to get the volume. But when you

988
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: need a running back, if you need a flex starter,

989
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: being in this offense, it's gonna score a lot of points.

990
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: Sometimes you throw a dart at Austin Neckler and he's

991
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: gonna come up. He's gonna pumpback a bull side for you.

992
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: And I think about it. That's the big thing too.

993
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: It's an offense that is going to score a lot

994
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: of points. I mean they did it sort of in

995
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: the second half on Sunday against the Chiefs, but this

996
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: is still an offense that's gonna move the ball. They're

997
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: gonna score points, and that, more than anything, is going

998
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: to give Austin Ecklers some value, even if he has

999
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: a limited number of snaps. Lie is one on the

1000
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: list will Dilee. I mean that's a I'm on a

1001
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: text chain, you know, with some friends, and you know,

1002
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: somebody was asking, you know, is there anybody that that

1003
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: you see on the waiver wire that might be worth

1004
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: a look? And this is as the the Seahawks game

1005
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: was going on yesterday afternoon. I said, you know, will

1006
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: dis Lee hit me. He looks like he might be

1007
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: be a thing this year. And the response was, man,

1008
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: that's one hell of a name. I know. Admittedly I

1009
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: had never heard of him before they I think they

1010
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: drafted him. It was like in the fourth round. And

1011
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: I don't even know that he's a pass catching tight end.

1012
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't believe that's his primary skill. No, well, he

1013
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: showed some pass catching chops in this one. I mean

1014
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: he only had three three catches, but he turned it

1015
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 1: into a un five yards in a touchdown. Maybe maybe

1016
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: this is just how damn good Russell Wilson is. He

1017
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: turns guys like Will dis Lee into fantasy well maybe

1018
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: not superstars, but he put up a nice relevant at least, right.

1019
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if you started Will dis Lee over Travis Kelsey,

1020
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: by the way, you should play the otto. But Travis

1021
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: Kelsey was brotally bad. And this we destroyed him in

1022
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: the statue. So it is what it is. This is

1023
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: called fantasy football, my friends, that can be unpredictable at times.

1024
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that either of Will's brothers, Nick or

1025
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: Russ started him uh football uh in this weekend? Certainly

1026
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: not over Travis. I like how you looked up and

1027
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: you knew that his brothers were Nick and Ruts and

1028
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: Nick this Lee and Rust this Lee. I mean, come on,

1029
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: did this Lee brothers? Why not? Oh Man? Alright, fantasy

1030
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: football season is underway, and I already have major regrets

1031
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: about my season long fantasy teams. I mean some of them,

1032
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:34,919
Speaker 1: at least. I'm sure a lot of you who play

1033
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: fantasy feel the same way. I mean, he spent all

1034
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: off season researching and getting excited for the draft. Uh,

1035
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: and then you see Chris Thompson or Kenny Stills. You

1036
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: know it happens. So that's why I'm excited to be

1048
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: is Monday, which means tomorrow's Tuesday, which means it's time

1049
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: to get your waiver wire claims. In so fas, you

1050
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: went through a group a list of guys that should

1051
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 1: be on your radar as early week two waiver wires. Yeah,

1052
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean one of the bigger stories we haven't mentioned

1053
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: yet and we will now as lendond four Net, I

1054
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: mean going out with the injury and t J. Yelton

1055
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 1: came in there and it did pretty well. Uh you know,

1056
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: there's there's been talk about Corey Grant, but Yeldon was

1057
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: the guy in this contest, and he now needs to

1058
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: be owned across the board for as long as four

1059
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 1: net is out, and we don't know what his status

1060
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: is at this point. On a Monday afternoon, the the

1061
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: Jaguars certainly trusted him enough to lead this backfield against

1062
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: the gm EN when four net went out. So he's

1063
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 1: the guy to add. Chris Godwin, who I mean, I

1064
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: I raved about him off PRIs Us Marcus. So we

1065
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: talked about him as a potential playmaker needs to be

1066
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: owned in all leagues. Moving forward. With Chris Godwin, I

1067
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: both him and say Kwan Barkley, right. I a couple

1068
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: of years ago when Penn State came to the Rose

1069
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: Bowl to play USC, I was there at that game,

1070
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: and I didn't I didn't know because Kuan still had

1071
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: one more season left in college. Chris Godwin, you know,

1072
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 1: I didn't really know Penn State's roster all that well.

1073
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: But Chris Godwin made a series of just ridiculous, just

1074
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: stupid catches, and watching him on Sunday make just some

1075
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: crazy ridiculous catches, I had flashbacks to sitting in the

1076
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: end zone in Pasadena on January one, a couple of

1077
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: years ago, and like, that's just what this guy does.

1078
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got sticky, sticky hands and um, you know,

1079
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: especially you know, we're not sure what happens with Deshan Jackson.

1080
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: He's in the concussion protocol. Um if he's not there.

1081
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin man, that guy just he's ready to ball out.

1082
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: And people forget when DeShawn Jackson was out last year.

1083
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: He missed a couple of games. I done was was solid,

1084
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: and Evans was suspended a game, and Godwin also put

1085
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: up some decent PPR numbers. I believe you had twelve

1086
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: or thirteen in that contest. So don't sleep on him.

1087
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: He needs to be owned in all leagues. Same thing

1088
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: with Tyler Lockett in Seattle, especially because we don't know

1089
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,720
Speaker 1: what's going on with Doug Baldwin and not one Marcus

1090
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: but two Balky knees. Lockett had a touchdown in the

1091
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: game yesterday against Denver. George Kittle. I was surprised that

1092
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 1: he wasn't owned in more leagues, and I'm guessing it

1093
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: was because he was injured for most of the preseason.

1094
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,959
Speaker 1: But I mean, you and I and and the group

1095
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: from NFL Fantasy Life talked about how big of a

1096
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: sleeper he was, and he's available in a lot of leagues,

1097
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: and people right now, especially if you lost Delaney Walker,

1098
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna be looking for a tight end. George Kittle

1099
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: is well worth a looking. How about Austin Neckler. We

1100
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: talked about this this morning. Initially, when I did the

1101
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: waiver wire Calm, I left him off because I thought

1102
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: he was gonna be owning more leagues, but he wasn't.

1103
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: He's a free agent and a lot of leagues, and

1104
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: I didn't get that. I didn't get I mean, I

1105
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: think I just think a lot of folks don't know

1106
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: his name. I mean, you know what, everybody looks at

1107
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 1: the Chargers and says, well, it's Melvin Gordon and that's

1108
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 1: kind of it. But I think people are going to

1109
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: start to wake up to Austin Ekeler. Also, Geronimo Ali

1110
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: pretty big touchdown last night for Aaron Rodgers. And as

1111
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: long as Aaron Rodgers is the quarterback, as long as

1112
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: he's upright and throwing the football for the Green Bay Packers, Uh,

1113
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: Geronimo Allison is a threat to put up a big

1114
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: number weekend. And we got not saying he's gonna do that.

1115
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: But this is a guy that if you drafted him

1116
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: into best Ball, you're looking pretty good. And he certainly

1117
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 1: needs to be owned in an offense that's gonna put

1118
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: up some points. Uh. Sticking with uh, guys who well,

1119
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Philip Lindsay wasn't drafted in a lot of

1120
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 1: leagues either, was he drafted at all. I mean, I

1121
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: have DeVante Booker in one of my leagues, and I'm

1122
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: cutting him as soon as I possibly. I'm not saying

1123
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: that Lindsay is gonna take over their future or for

1124
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Okay, I still have faith in Royce Freeman.

1125
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: And you might have been right after all. I just

1126
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 1: by the way, Marcus, but I just wasn't. I just

1127
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,399
Speaker 1: wasn't sold. I know, I know, it's one week, it's

1128
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: one one week, it's one week. Eventually you you're right.

1129
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: But Lindsay now needs to be owned across the board.

1130
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: Ted Ginn, who last year was a top thirty five

1131
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: PPR wide receiver, wasn't great better in best Ball, but

1132
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: had a big game against the Buccaneers in an absolute

1133
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: shootout there in New Orleans and Caim Meredith was inactive,

1134
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's going on with Meredith. I

1135
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: might start putting ted Gain in the Frank Gore category

1136
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 1: of players who will never die. Like Ted gin just

1137
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 1: keeps coming back, and he had he had some big

1138
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 1: games last season. He's got Drew Brey staring on the football,

1139
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: and he is someone that people think of Ted Ginn

1140
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: and they think of what rops drops. But that hasn't

1141
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: been the case. That hasn't in the case since he's

1142
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: been in New Orleans. So he needs to be added

1143
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: if you're looking at a quarterback, Tyrod Taylor, I'm sorry, right,

1144
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: I heard that. He I don't know, dude, I don't

1145
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: know what this guy's name is. All I know is

1146
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: that he scored twenty four points in a mess bad

1147
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: weather yesterday and he was the better of the two

1148
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks by the way. Ben Roethlisberger on the road steaks

1149
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: again steaks. Man. That was that was beyond all bar.

1150
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: That was beyond awful. I really thought maybe he'd bucked

1151
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,320
Speaker 1: the train this year, but man, that was Terry stunk yesterday.

1152
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: He stunk. But you know what, I'm gonna start in

1153
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 1: my week two. So but Taylor and people forget because

1154
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: everyone thinks that Baker Mayfield is gonna take over the

1155
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: job at some point in the season, and maybe he will.

1156
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: And at that point, guess what you do? You dropped?

1157
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor to Rod Taylor, Sorry, it's gonna take time.

1158
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna take time, but with his running ability,

1159
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 1: with the talent he has around him, Josh Gordon, who

1160
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 1: was limited yesterday and still scored a touchdown, Jervis Landry,

1161
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: the backfield situation by the way, Hugh Jackson, just just

1162
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 1: start Josh Gordon man trying to win football games man

1163
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 1: college with the Stars, no doubt. Well hopefully, like say,

1164
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: on purpose, because apparently Josh Gordon started started. They didn't

1165
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: want him to start, but because whatever the package was

1166
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: that they began the game with, uh, that that put

1167
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 1: in it. So I don't know whatever, but you're right,

1168
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: exactly right. So Tyrod to Rod Taylor, boy, I'm never

1169
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: gonna go. It should be on your radar. Philip Dorset too,

1170
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: Like we were all on the Chris Hogan bandwagon, all

1171
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: of us. That bandwagon was overflowing and at the end

1172
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: of it Marcus Um, yeah, too good, it was Philip

1173
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: dar Set came in and had the touchdown for the

1174
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: path for the Patriots. And now you're looking at potentially

1175
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: this guy being added off the waiver wire, potentially being

1176
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: a flex starter, maybe in a deeper league until Julian

1177
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: Edelman is able to come back. So he needs to

1178
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: be on your radar, as does Ryan Grant. How about

1179
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Grant, He was the clear number two wide receiver

1180
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: for the Colts yesterday, and t Hy Hilton is always

1181
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: going to be the number one guy, and it was

1182
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: nice to see him back and thriving with Andrew Luck

1183
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: under center. But when you look at Ryan Grant stats,

1184
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he finished the game with nine targets, led

1185
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: the team with eight catches. He had sixty one snaps,

1186
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: which was pretty good. That was second at the position

1187
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: behind t Y Hilton. As I mentioned, I mean, and

1188
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: as long as Andrew Luck looks like Andrew Luck, and

1189
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: if Ryan Grant is getting this much volume and he's

1190
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: on the football field and he's seeing targets, he's got

1191
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: to be added, especially in PPR. Yeah, well, he was

1192
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: a guy that you know, I was advocating to take

1193
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: a late round dart throw, and he's a guy that

1194
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: I was able to pick up in a few leagues

1195
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: kind of at the end of the draft, just kind

1196
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: of for this reason. I mean, my my feeling was,

1197
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: if you're buying into Andrew luxurysurgence, then you're buying into

1198
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: a lot of guys around him. I mean, if if

1199
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton is seeing his a DP go up

1200
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: because Andrew Luck is back, then the same should have

1201
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: applied to Ryan Grant, who's the number two. It should

1202
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: have applied to Jack Doyle, who you know. I know,

1203
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron had the touchdown, but Jack Doyle got most

1204
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: of those snaps and he got a lot of targets.

1205
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: There had to fumble that wasn't great. But still, if

1206
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: you're believing in Andrew Luck, then believe in everybody around him.

1207
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: And Ryan Grant should be one of those guys. And

1208
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: hopefully this week opened some folks eyes to what he

1209
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 1: could pretend. You know what. I'm speaking of the culture

1210
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: real quick too. It was a good week from Marla Mack.

1211
00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: You know why, because neither wanted Jordan look looks good

1212
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: at all. I mean, the Yarch per carry average is bad.

1213
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: They didn't do much of anything in the statueets. So

1214
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: suddenly Marlon Mack, I mean, he was always the favorite

1215
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: to be the starter, and Wilkins didn't take that opportunity

1216
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: and really do much with it. So Marlon Mack, if

1217
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,959
Speaker 1: he comes back in week two, potentially a sleeper. We'll see,

1218
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: We'll see. I don't know. There are several backfields that

1219
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: like I'm just out on like the Colts, uh, the Seahawks,

1220
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 1: the Lions. I'm just but in a league where running

1221
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: backs are so valuable, I know, like if you can look,

1222
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 1: if you can hit on one, I have him in

1223
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:36,959
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. And I'm not saying he's gonna

1224
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: be a featured back. But you know, if you rookies

1225
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: didn't really do much to separate themselves, you can decipher

1226
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 1: that sphinx riddle man, and you're you're gonna be at all. Right,

1227
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: those are our week one review guys. Okay, so now

1228
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,439
Speaker 1: because Week one is over, you know, we we've looked,

1229
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: we've kind of calculated stuff, We've figured out our waiver

1230
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: wire moves. Now it's time to kind of overreact, right

1231
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: because have one game. Like we we spent all off

1232
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: season kind of like trying to decipher things and make

1233
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 1: up takes and all this stuff. Now we have actual football. Right,

1234
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 1: We saw things go down on the field, and which

1235
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: obviously means that, you know, this is just how things

1236
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 1: are going to be. What we saw in week one

1237
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: is just the truth, and that's how life is going

1238
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: to be for the rest of the season. So that

1239
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: brings us to whatlight to call over reaction in the theater.

1240
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: So I got a handful of tweets of people kind

1241
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: of overreacting, and a lot of them were tongue in cheek.

1242
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: I put this out on Twitter for for you guys,

1243
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: and uh, I was you know, the responses were a

1244
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: lot of fun from a lot of you guys, and

1245
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: I get you know, certainly a lot of them were

1246
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: uh exaggerations, hyperbole a little bit, but I go through

1247
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 1: a few that I liked. Uh. John Hill the fourth

1248
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: responded with Deshan Jackson for DeVante Freeman. What like, I

1249
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 1: don't know, like maybe you know, the one thing we

1250
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: got got you fifty yards? I mean, de Sean Jackson

1251
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 1: didn't play a whole game and put up like nearly

1252
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: three times that amount, right, So like, obviously that means

1253
01:00:57,720 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: d Jackson is gonna be the number one wide receiver

1254
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: this year. Right, Yeah, come on, guys, But you know

1255
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: what the number one name that people were sending to

1256
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: me on Twitter, Kareem Hunt. They're already freaked out about

1257
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt already. I mean, I had a feeling that

1258
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: that game might not be great for him. Um, I'm

1259
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: not you know, I'm not pushing the panic button on

1260
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:20,439
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt. I was saying, what, you know, what makes

1261
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: me more nervous about Kareem Hunt is Matt Nege being

1262
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,919
Speaker 1: in Chicago. I mean think about because like the start

1263
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: of the last year, Cream Hunt like blew up the

1264
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:29,959
Speaker 1: first few weeks right, and in midway through the year

1265
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: he vanished and we weren't sure what was happening with him.

1266
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: Then Matt Nage takes over. Is the offensive coordinator, he

1267
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: says the play caller. Um, and Kareem Hunt comes back

1268
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: into our lives again. But now Matt Nige is gone.

1269
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,959
Speaker 1: That that makes me a little bit nervous. Um. Other

1270
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:49,439
Speaker 1: overreaction theater. This one comes from Chauncey Lindner. Uh. And

1271
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: the sweet is DeShawn Watson sucks, dude. I mean he

1272
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: wasn't great. He did kind of suck outside, but but

1273
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: I went for a whole diet travil holl. If you

1274
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: drafted Watson, you had to expect some sort of regression

1275
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 1: because what he did last year was historic. He'll be fine.

1276
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: He'll be fine in the big boy leagues. He was

1277
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: regularly being drafted behind Aaron Rodgers at number two among quarterbacks,

1278
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: ahead of Tom Brady and Russell Wilson and everyone else.

1279
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 1: So to me, I'm not concerned. It was one game,

1280
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 1: and guys, it's gonna happen, like it'll happen. This dude

1281
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: is not superman like he seemed to be in seventeen.

1282
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: It's going to happen. He will bounce back. Uh. And

1283
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 1: then the last one, Great White seventy eight asks so

1284
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: should I trade David Johnson for Adrian Peterson? Yeah? I

1285
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 1: want these guys in my league. That I want these

1286
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: guys in my league. Yeah, give me David Johnson for

1287
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: you know what you want, will build this league, whatever name.

1288
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: I'll pick him up off the waiver wire. And you

1289
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 1: can give me Travis Kelsey for him. I mean obviously,

1290
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: because I'll do it. I mean obviously, Travis Kelsey's he's done,

1291
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 1: he's washed now, because it is It is funny to

1292
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: watch the reactions of people on Twitter, especially when you

1293
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: do like what Marcus and I do because they I mean,

1294
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:08,959
Speaker 1: how many times did I get called an idiot because

1295
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman was my guy? It's one week, people, chill

1296
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: chill out. I just know it's funny, especially when you

1297
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: know it can be the second quarter and a guy

1298
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: hasn't done anything yet and people start to panic. That's

1299
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: the that's where those are the tweets that I watched

1300
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: for Like if I tell someone to start a certain

1301
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: player and at the half he's done nothing, and then

1302
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 1: those people attack me on Twitter, and then that dude

1303
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: goes off in the second half and I start tweeting

1304
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: back to him and be like, you got anything to

1305
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: say now? And then the responses are thanks THEBS, I

1306
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: knew I could trust you and all the faith in you.

1307
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,439
Speaker 1: We need. We need an old fantasy takes exposed sort

1308
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: of thing that would be funny, no doubt. I mean sure,

1309
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of our takes would get thrown

1310
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: up there too, but whatever, man, it's all part of

1311
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,680

Speaker 1: So that's it. We are through pretty much all of

1319
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:09,960
