00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Live Podcast. I'm Michael Daviano.

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Coming up today. We've got a full Monday night football recap,

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: including what you should be doing with the Bengals running backs?

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: Plus is it time to panic about your slumping fantasy stars?

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: And we tell you got quarterback. J Mannuel joins us Live.

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: Now here's Matt money Smith to get us go. Big

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: coaching moves this week work out. I know we're going

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: to celebrate one person in particular that might trump somebody

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: else to put Richard Mendenhall into his lineup again. I'm

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: just I'm just saying, apparently that wasn't good enough, but

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,319
Speaker 1: move of the week for the two of you, he'd

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: keeping with Marshawn Lynch. Two big wins for me, although

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: Elliott Harrison did beat me in the NFL emily because

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: he had Marshall on Lynch. Thus that's what happens when

15
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: you have nine fantasy leagues. You know what? I went

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: with a gutsy move this week or last week again,

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: playing Michael Vick over Cam Newton, and I felt comfortable

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: with Yeah, we're gonna hear about that later. You and

19
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: your Michael big thing. I've been learning to hear the

20
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: end of that. We have a lot to get to

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: you from last night's a f C North matchup Monday

22
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: Night Football. A look at the highlights here, Ben Roethlisberger,

23
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Andy Alton, each team looking for their first win. First quarter,

24
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: Steelers driving second and eight from the fifty, Roethlisburger to China,

25
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: David Paulson into the red zone. Button stripped of the ball,

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: I Adam Jones. So you'll lose a couple of points

27
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: for Paulson if you started in which ball security has

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: been the thing the last two weeks of the season.

29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: Now we get to the ensuing Bengals possession. It's a

30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: second and part from inside the Steelers ten. Giovanni Garard

31
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: up the middle. Note question seven relevance yard touchdown seven

32
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: at three Bengals second quarter. Now Steelers first and ten.

33
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: Big bend finds a slanting many Sanders makes it to

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: the Bengals one guard line that eight forty three hurt

35
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: one very next play, Roethlisburger lobs the ball to Lloyd.

36
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: You start having one yard touchdown ten ten tied after half.

37
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: Now we get to the third quarter, Bengals first and ten,

38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: Steelers territory, Dalter Dalton Hits Bernard explored the sideline and

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: look at the Jets. See you later touched waiting for

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: he works well in space and when he gets out there,

41
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: he's gone, you cannot stop this kid. How long you're

42
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: gonna wait? It's only week two? Off bar Man getting

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: the kid a break to quarter Now Steelers seven. Roethlisberger's

44
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: pass goes through the hands Jericho Contry, intercepted by safety

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: Reggie Nelson, and here you see Roethlisberger puts it out

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: of himself. He said something like the quarterback needs to

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: play better, and I'll make sure he does that very

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: quote exactly the old second person. So here your numbers

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: to fifty touchdown interception for Big Ben. Nothing going in

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: that Pittsburgh Steelers backfield though, and we'll get to that

51
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: in a moment. But first you see the fantasy leaders.

52
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: Ben Jarvis green ellis with just eight points, Giovanni Bernard

53
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: with eighteen and a half. So a j Green go,

54
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: let's talk. He went to Taylor. Oh yeah, there's just

55
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: Drake two weeks worth of points against the Bears in

56
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: his opening weeks, so perhaps just took the week off.

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: Let's get into that backfield though the Bengals backfield, we

58
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: didn't quite know how it was going to shake out.

59
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: A lot of people excited about Geo Bernard, the first

60
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: running back taken out of North Carolina in the draft.

61
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 1: But what do we make of it moving forward? Well,

62
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: Ven Jarvis green Ellis still saw the Lions share the carries.

63
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: Bernard didn't have a lot of touches, but when he

64
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: did touch the football money he made the most of them.

65
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Obviously with those two touchdowns. What I like is that

66
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: he saw carries near the goal line. But I love

67
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: that to that point. When you look at the statistically

68
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: the law for thirty six carres, he has three times

69
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: the amount of carries and only forty more yards. Think

70
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: Vin Jarvis grit excuse me, than Giovanni Bernard. So when

71
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: you look at that, I'm gonna say that Giovanni Bernard

72
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: is more productive. Question, put the screws? Do you here?

73
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: If you have ben Jarvis green Ellis, if you have

74
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: Jeo Bernard, are they both start this week versus green Bay?

75
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: I would start Geo. I don't have a lot of

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: faith in ben Jo's screen starting. I'm starting Giovanni Bernard

77
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: as a flex and if you drafted them both as

78
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: a handcuff situation, which one do you see you has

79
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: got more? I'm going gel alright, moving forward, GEO the

80
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: tight end position for the Bengals. A lot of people

81
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: I don't know who excited about Tyler Eifford coming out

82
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: of Note Tre Dame. And interestingly enough, both tight ends

83
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: Jermaine Gresham and Effort end up with exactly sixty six yards.

84
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: That's zero, Like both like six six too? That's that's weird.

85
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Are both viable tight ends in this Cincinnati Bengals offense?

86
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: Is one better than the other. I'm gonna go with

87
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: Jermaine Gresham on this situation, and this is because he's

88
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: the bettering guy. I'm gonna defer to him. Tyler Eifford

89
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: is going to make that jump. But I love the

90
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: way Jake Green even uses his tight end personnel. He

91
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: lines both of them out there in the trips. You'll

92
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: see him out there in the bunch formation, both of

93
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: those guys. But it seems like Dalton favors targeting aggressiam

94
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: before Iford. I wouldn't start either one of these guys

95
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: in the fantasy league. I think Iford's got major upside

96
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: for the future. But there's too many good tight ends

97
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: out there. I can't believe I'm saying it because we

98
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: were worried about in a pre season. There's too many

99
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: good I think you can start a guy who's splitting

100
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: time at the but I think you can play that.

101
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: You can play Jermaine Gresham, especially when you look at

102
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: some of these tight ends who are given you donors

103
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: are giving you not so many. Let's let's not forget.

104
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: They started the season playing the Bears defense and the

105
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: Steelers defense. So it's gonna get a little bit easier

106
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: for this Cincinnati. He's gonna win that, he's gonna moving forward.

107
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: How concerned are you about the Steelers offense? I want

108
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: I'm not starting any Steelers right now other than Antonio Brown,

109
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: who I think you have to start is probably a three.

110
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: The wide receiver position. There's not a lot to like,

111
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: especially in that running game. Do you know that Alex Smith,

112
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, the quarterback for the Chief has more rushing

113
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: yards than the Sailors and the whole team. And they

114
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: need Levian Bill to come back, they really do. You

115
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: can see you just gotta stay away because they don't

116
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: have that offensive line to protect. I mean, if anybody,

117
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: if you're just starving for a wide receiver, you can

118
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: look at Emmanuel Sanders. Antonio Brown has some options. But

119
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: Steelers this week? Are you starting anyway? Brandon Marshall, no

120
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: one on the Steelers. No Steelers this week with the

121
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Bears in town. All right, that's gonna do it for

122
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: Monday night. Let's get to the latest headlines a busy

123
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: week two in the NFL. Molly carame here with Adam

124
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: rap with your latest news around the league. Raven's running

125
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: back Ray Rice is speaking out about the feedback he's

126
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: received from fantasy players after he left Sunday's game against

127
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: the Browns with a hip injury. He wrote on Twitter,

128
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: I was a fan of fantasy football until today. So

129
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: many spiteful and hateful words. I still love you all.

130
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: God bless great win today rice Is. Coach John Harbor

131
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: says the star running back maybe held out of practice

132
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: this week, probably in towards resting him this week and

133
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: then seeing how he looks this weekend. You know, uh,

134
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: he's not gonna need to practice to play in the game. Um,

135
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: but if he feels great, we'll put him out there.

136
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't, we'll probably you know, rest him

137
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: and getting ready to go Sunday if possible. Alright, Adam,

138
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: is Bernard Pierce a solid play if Rice can't go

139
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: against the Texans this week. He's got a tough match

140
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: up against the Houston Texans, So I would say no.

141
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: He's a guy who last year he started to eat

142
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: a little bit into Ray Rice's production. We are worried

143
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: about it coming into this season. We're seeing a little

144
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: bit of that, and there's gonna be opportunities for you

145
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: to start him as a flex guy. But this is

146
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: not the week for that to happen. But of course,

147
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: handcuff Rice if you can. Moving on, more running back

148
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: news in hot Atlanta, NFL media insider Ian Rappaport tell

149
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: this Falcon's running back Steven Jackson maymeus two to four

150
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: weeks with a thigh injury. What does this mean for

151
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: fantasy users? With s Jax on the rosters, I have

152
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: him on nearly every team. This is awful news. I

153
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: was expecting this guy to come out and be the

154
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: fantasy m v P because he does so many things

155
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: like you see right there, catching the ball out of

156
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: the backfield in that offense, now we're gonna have to

157
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: wait a couple of weeks. This is bad news. Make

158
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: sure you have a guy like no Shan Marino ready

159
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: to go. Injury is again with him, same old story.

160
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: Jack's running back Maurice Jones Threw has no concrete timetable

161
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: for his return after injuring his ankle in week two.

162
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: If there's any week to sit m j D, is

163
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: it this week against the Seahawks. Have them in our

164
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: experts like I do and Stephen Jackson, are you are

165
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: you going against me? I don't think so. Okay, then,

166
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: benjam that makes sense. I appreciate what you're doing. This

167
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: is not a guy you want to start against the

168
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. And with those injuries, pass on them all together.

169
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: Why not the Jags just start Denard Robinson and cornerback

170
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: and playing wildcat? Why not bringing Tim Tebou put him

171
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: into Denard Robinson back? There have some fun, right exactly

172
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: at this point, it's it's only week two, all right.

173
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: Here's Jason Garrett talking about the Dallas running game to

174
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: the Dallas Morning News. Obviously, we want to have more

175
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: balanced throughout the game. We have to run the ball

176
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: more than sixteen times in a game, and we have

177
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: to be able to run it throughout the game. We

178
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: just simply have to do a better job of that.

179
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: So let's talk about DeMarco Murray for a minute. He

180
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: had three one year rush games in four games. In

181
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: the sixteen games since then, just one rush game and

182
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: four rushing t d s. What do you expect from

183
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: him against the Ramps. Well, we're gonna take a history lesson.

184
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: Let's go look back the last time to Marco Murray

185
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: played against St. Louis FC at home and he set

186
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys single game record for rushing yards, shots fired.

187
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: She just shot me down there. So I love it.

188
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: I hope that he comes out and he rushes and

189
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: he's a great plays a pretty good matchup this week

190
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: against that aforementioned St. Louis club. So I love to

191
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: hear when coaches are saying that, yes, run the ball more.

192
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: We're looking for running backs. To Marco Murray has been

193
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: kind of a spotty play, so please think that. I

194
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys have a few more options in this

195
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: next team. Sources tell NFL media insider Ian Rappaport that

196
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver Danny Amandol likely has a sports hernia. They

197
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: say a procedure would clean up the sports herne and

198
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: would likely keep him out for six weeks, but he

199
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: also could play through the injury. He's basically limping through practice.

200
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: Would just hang onto him. You're hanging onto him because

201
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: he's a solid wide receiver too. When he gets in there.

202
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: Tom Brady showed and the one game that they had

203
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: together that he has an awful lot of trust in

204
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: him already show if you have them, keep them. It's

205
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: not a comfortable situation obviously for him and us, but

206
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: I would hang on him the Patriots, they need him.

207
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: All right. Here's something of note. Titans wide receiver Kenny

208
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: Britt had this to say on Twitter this morning. Looks

209
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: like the Titans pulling that Jared Cook card, looking like

210
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: this could be the last year I'll be saying, tighten up.

211
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: That's on that. You look at it last week, Mike

212
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: Well or what you nailed it? That wasn't awkward, But

213
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: it's one of those things. If the squeaky wheel gets

214
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: the grease go with Kenny Britt, maybe little for said

215
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: to him, like the like the Dolphins day with Mike Wallace.

216
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: All right, let's end on that note. Coming up, We're

217
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: taking a look at some of the top young quarterbacks

218
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: in the game. Is last year's rookie class hitting it's

219
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: sophomore slump? Are we just overreacting? Not us? Plus one

220
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: of this year's ricky quarterbacks, p J Manuel joins US

221
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: Live to talk about his big comeback last week and

222
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: much more NFL Fantasy Live back after this much job

223
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: stod restaurant or good regard he field? Well, there you

224
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: see it earns his first victory as a professional. I'll

225
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: talk about a week two performance. He did it for

226
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: Bay Side High, Florida State. He is number one in

227
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: your buffalo hearts number three on his chest. It is

228
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: a man that is campaigning for Rookie of the Week.

229
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: E J Manual on NFL Fantasy Live. What's happening in

230
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: e J? Hey, how are you doing doing well? I'm

231
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: gonna start with that fighting marlin of Bay Side High

232
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: because I was watching so I love high school football.

233
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: I was watching some of your early footage. You had

234
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: a thicker stash than you have right now. When when

235
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: could you first grow facial I'm gonna guess it was

236
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: like thirteen and you had a full mustache. Uh, maybe

237
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: fifteen of sixteen is when I started having some of

238
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: the facial hair growing. And uh, my dad wasn't a

239
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 1: huge fan of that. I think he wanted me to

240
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: keep the baby face as long as possible, so um,

241
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: after a while I had to start cutting it down. Well,

242
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: certainly a young man, but a man amongst boys when

243
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: he was in high school, college and now in the proach,

244
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: you get your first victory, take us through that game

245
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: winning drive. What you saw how Stevie Johnson found himself

246
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: so wide open right well going into the drive. Our

247
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: defense did an awesome job holding the the catal lot

248
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: of Panthers to the three points, and I think that

249
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: was probably the biggest one of the biggest players of

250
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: that game, especially towards the end, allowing us to have

251
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity to go out and score touchdown to win

252
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: the game. But we knew we didn't have any time outs.

253
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: We knew we had eight yards to go down the field,

254
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: and I think the biggest thing we just had to

255
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: just be smart within the situation. Get out of bounds

256
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: when you have the opportunity, Uh, if it wasn't open,

257
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: take off and run. Then also get out of bounds.

258
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: And that last play you know, Steve ran a great

259
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: route and they doubled on Chris Hogan outside and he

260
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: was wide opening the back of the end zone. So

261
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: we couldn't have pended a better picture for it worked

262
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: out perfectly, n J. You think about the history of

263
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: the Bills, yet Stevie Johnson, the first receiver to have

264
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: back to back thousand yards seasons, give us an idea

265
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: as a rookie quarterback what it's like to have perhaps

266
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: the most underrated number one sitting there as a target

267
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: for you most definitely. I mean, I have a guy

268
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: like Stevie, besides the the on the field talent that

269
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: you get one of the one of the nicest guys

270
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: you'll ever meet. And I think, uh, you know, coming

271
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: into you know, this situation as a young guy, especially

272
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, that gives you a lot of confidence

273
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: moving forward, knowing that there's not a lot of pressure

274
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: on you. You know, if you just continue to do

275
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: what you've been coached and just relax and allow yourself

276
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: to make plays and get the bottle. Guy like Steve,

277
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: you a guy like Robert Woods was another great player

278
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: and then also handed off to C. J. Spiller Fred Jackson. Uh,

279
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's a great situation for me. You know

280
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: you mentioned Robert Woods. He gets his first touchdown reception

281
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: of his career in Week one, your first touchdown pass

282
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: of your career. We know him out here, we're in

283
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, a standout at USC. Give us an idea.

284
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: Have the Bills found a true compliment to Stevie Johnson

285
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: and Robert Woods for the rest of the season. Most definitely.

286
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: I remember on draft Day when I found out one

287
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: I was going to the Buffalo Bills, and then also

288
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: when I found out I had Robert Woods coming with me.

289
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean I was overjoyed, you know, because he was

290
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: another guy who I watched, as you said, when he

291
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: was at USC, and he was a standout player, a

292
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: huge receiver as far as making big time players down

293
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: the field. You can throw him a hitch and he'll

294
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: take eight yards for you. So what he definitely has

295
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: that big play um mentalitly and that big play that

296
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: that likelihood perspective. So I love having him on my team.

297
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: He's also a great teammate now e J. In the

298
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: off season and the through training camp, your offensive coordinator

299
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: Nate Hackett made news said that he wanted to hand

300
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: the ball to c J. Spiller until he puked. Now,

301
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: Doug Morone had him back off that a little bit, said,

302
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: let's take it easy, not wear the kid out. What

303
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: has your experience been with your running backs and how

304
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: they're being used. It looks more like a sixty forty

305
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: split between Spiller and Fred Jackson. Yeah, Fred and c

306
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: J both as well as the sharp choice. All those

307
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: guys have done a great job, you know, also helped me,

308
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: like I said, with the other receivers in the old line,

309
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: who's done awesome job too, you know, just kind of

310
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: settling as a quarterback, kind of take over that leadership role,

311
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: and they're allowed me to lead. They're allowing me to

312
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: make checks out there on the field, give me that freedom,

313
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: not trying to you know over you know over overcall.

314
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: Whatever I say, they listen to what I say. And

315
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: as a young guy, that goes a long way, you know.

316
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: So obviously having a big homewarn threat like c J

317
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: and Fred in the backfield with you, it really helps

318
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: me out a lot. Now we know you're a student

319
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: of the game. We always hear about how studious you are,

320
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: fastidious you are in your studies. I'm sure You've already

321
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: looked at the Jets. A lot of people say, Antonio Crimarti,

322
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: perhaps the toughest corner to throw on. What have you

323
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: seen from what you've seen so far looking at that tape,

324
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: and and is Stevie John's gonna have some trouble getting

325
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: open with Crow out there on them? Well? Yeah, I

326
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: think you know, the Jets, you know, bring a great defense,

327
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: a lot of different looks and things that we may

328
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: be saying, you know, maybe used to seeing in our

329
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: own defense. Knowing that coach Petton has come from the

330
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: the New York Jet system and so we've seen that

331
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: type of defense throughout Mini camp and training camp. So

332
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: I think that would really give us, you know, a

333
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: leg up one the defense that will be facing this week.

334
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: But I think Stevie will manage to get open and

335
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: I'll be sure to give him the ball, all right,

336
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: As good as that buffalo looked on the side of

337
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: your helm, but I'm still going with that Bay side Marlin.

338
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: That thing was fierce with that back to the throw back. Absolutely,

339
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: e J. Congratulations on the win again. You can vote

352
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, EJ. And now for some more

353
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: coverage on young quarterbacks. Let's get it over to Molly

354
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: Carram and the guys. At the end of last season,

355
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: it seems like we're witnessing a changing of the guard

356
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: at quarterback. But so far this year we've seen some

357
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: old vets putting up the biggest numbers at the position.

358
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: Here's a look at the top five fantasy quarterbacks. A

359
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: little bit surprising, guys, especially when you look at names

360
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: like Michael Vick, Adam, Yeah, Philip Rivers, just like we

361
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: drew it up. But yes, Michael Vick is one of

362
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: the biggest I wouldn't say surprises. We're pretty high on

363
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: them here at NFL dot Com. In the preseason, we

364
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: bought out into this Chip Kelly offense. And it's not

365
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: a surprise that he can because he's done this in

366
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: the past. It's now can he maintain this for an

367
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: entire season? Yeah? I think his health is really going

368
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: to be determined on the way they are able to

369
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: execute this offense. I think Michael Vick can actually stay healthy.

370
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are concerned about Michael Vick.

371
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying he's gonna be durable, so he can continue

372
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: this pace. Have him a couple more good games, and

373
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: it's time to sell high, my friends, everybody wants to

374
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: sell high. Keep what you got at this good? Now?

375
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: How about Philip Rivers, No Denario Alexander, Malcolm Floyd getting

376
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: hurt and making Eddie Royal look like a star this week? Yeah,

377
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: he's been a big surprise to me because over the

378
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: last couple of years he has not been good in

379
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: fantasy football, and he doesn't have a number one wide receiver.

380
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: And Antonio Gates is what thirty three years old? This

381
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: is another guy. I'm saying, pick him up off the

382
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: waiver wire if he has a couple more good games.

383
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: Sell Hi. I'm a trader. I like to trade these guys. Well,

384
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: their value is rising. You know what happens to a quarterback,

385
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: especially like Philip Rivers got a little still in North

386
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: Turner's offense. Now he's got a new offensive coordinator and

387
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: you're starting to see him shine. We're starting to see

388
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: that old Philip Rivers starting to come back out. So

389
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: many great quarterbacks and fantasy football Philip Rivers putting up

390
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: great numbers. Now, let's stay with the signal Colors, but

391
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: switched to the young guns, gentlemen. And how about Colin Kaepernick.

392
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm a little confused here. Week one, he completely torched

393
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: the Packers and then he struggled mightily against the Seahawks.

394
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: He did, and I would just throw that away as

395
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: a bad matchup. They've struggled against Seattle going back to

396
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: last year. But going forward, Colin Kaepernick is gonna be

397
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: a great start for you, starting this week against Indianapolis Colts,

398
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: who really have had trouble stopping quarterbacks so far this season.

399
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: So that's a great matchup. Look, he's he's a good quarterback.

400
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: Everybody was kind of surprised at how well he threw

401
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: the ball up against the Green Bay Packers, But if

402
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: you watched him play at the University of Nevada, you

403
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: know that he can throw the ball. He can sling

404
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: the rocks that don't be concerned about it. That's how

405
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: about Andrew Luck. He's been a steady performer, putting up

406
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: big fantasy numbers. He's close to matchup proof for me.

407
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: Unless you have Michael Vick, for example, then this week

408
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: I would start Vic over Andrew Luck. But listen, this

409
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: kid is dynamite. He's going to be a top five

410
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback this season, and he's going to be a

411
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: top five fantasy quarterback for years and years to come.

412
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: Here is that good. He's got a lot of moxie.

413
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: And this is one of the best pocket passers that

414
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: I've seen coming to the National Football League in a

415
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: long time. So impressive. This next guy my fantasy quarterback.

416
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a lack of preseason it's

417
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: the injury, but he's not showing up. My friend. Well, yeah,

418
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's three. You can't expect a young quarterback

419
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: to come in in his sophomore year and having not

420
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: played in the preseason. Come out and start bawling right away.

421
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: I think this is a time where you've got to

422
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: be patient with Robert griff the third. He still is

423
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback. I think you still want to keep

424
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: him on your fantasy team. He will work out the kings.

425
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: That takes about three or four weeks after coming off

426
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: of an injury and then now coming into this season,

427
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: now r G three is still the go to guy

428
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: as far as fantasy. More though he's struggling, and even

429
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: though there's rust, he's still putting up good fantasy points.

430
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: It's not like it's not like he's not giving you

431
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: does It's almost twenty in week one and over twenty

432
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: last week. I'll take if you're putting up under twenty

433
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: your floor, you're flirting with that dead number. He's over twenty.

434
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: You want to play guys before I let you go.

435
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: Quick thoughts on Russell Wilson. He's been passing okay, keeping

436
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: the I n T s little, but no rushing. It's

437
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: the complete opposite of r G three. R G three

438
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: looks bad and is putting up good fantasy numbers. Russell

439
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: Wilson looks great when you watch him play quarterback, he's

440
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: not delivering as a fantasy passer. All right, still to come?

441
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: Is it time to hit the panic button on a

442
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: few underperforming fantasy stars? Will tell you if you should

443
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: stay patient or cut bait. But it's our top five

444
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: best waiver wire targets for Week three are on the way.

445
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: See which players our experts recommend most when NFL Fantasy

446
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: Live continues. Alright, well, two weeks are in the books

447
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: this NFL season. If you listen real close, you can

448
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: hear the Sunds. Listen fantasy owners tearing their hair out

449
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: in frustration already if they had here? Is it really

450
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: time they had here? Panic? I mean, look, it's one

451
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: of the few things I got going for you guys.

452
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: After two disappointing weeks, we are sorting it out, starting

453
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,239
Speaker 1: with Trent Richardson. Nick, don't panic Trent Richardson. I am

454
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: not panicking on Trent Richardson. Listen, if he's going down,

455
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: I'm going down with him. I like the matchup this

456
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: week though, against the Minnesota Vikings. No team has a

457
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: lot more fantasy points than running backs then the Vikings.

458
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: After two weeks stick with Trent Richardson. Brandon Weeden looks

459
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be out this week. Maybe that's a

460
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: good thing for this offense. Money. Yeah, against a very

461
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: good Minnesota off defensive front, though the defense has not

462
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: been good. You're right that fourte had a solid week

463
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. All Right, how about a bar Tom Brady?

464
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean Tom Brady. We're gonna panic on Tom Brady.

465
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: You know, in the preseason I said say stay away

466
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: from Tom Brady. I say panic on Tom Brady. Tom

467
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: Brady twenty six point three to fantasy points through the

468
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: first two weeks of the season. Michael Vick almost had

469
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: that in his first game. I'm telling you that Tom

470
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: Brady has a lot of youth around him, and he

471
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: needs to have the ability to coach these guys around him.

472
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Dawson playing in his first NFL game. I mean,

473
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: how do you get surrounded with rookies and expect the ball?

474
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: I like this, I'm saying stay away from a panic

475
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: panic Pannic. I'd just like to point out some confirmation

476
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: bias there. I told you in the preseason, and he

477
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: works in Michael Vick on the back head. Alright, Roddy

478
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: White rank give us a little something. I am not

479
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: going to panic on Roddy White, probably because I have

480
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: him on nearly every fantasy team. So again I have

481
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: it's right. It's very very a very biased opinion. But

482
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: when you look at it, most of us drafted Roddy

483
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: White as a wide receiver too, and so I can

484
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: feel a little bit more confident about that. And now

485
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: with Stephen Jackson out, the Falcons, not that they weren't

486
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: throwing the ball a ton before, at least they only

487
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: have they gotta throw, They're gonna continue to throw the ball.

488
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: And he's just he's not going to be a decoy

489
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: for the entire year. So I'll offer you Harry Douglas

490
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: for him right now, right take the deal. Like m

491
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: J D Boy, one of our favorites. Panic Um, he's

492
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: banged up right now. Whether or not he plays remains

493
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: to be seen in Week three, but he's playing the

494
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: Seahawks in Seattle. The Jaguars might score negative points in

495
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: that game. They are so bad offensively. Seattle is so

496
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: good defensively, especially on their whole field. There's not one

497
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: member of the Jaguars, including Cecil Shorts, who I would

498
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: start this week or maybe any week. Moving story. You

499
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: mentioned that FABS because in the world of fantasy, you

500
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: want explosive offenses. You want teams to score a lot

501
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: of points. If you look at the statistics, it suggests

502
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are scoring five point five points per game.

503
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: That is an incorrect statistic because two of those points

504
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: belong to the defense. Four and a half four and

505
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: a half points per game. Yet you're going to sell

506
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: us on. Look, last year I brought you cecil Shorts.

507
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: That was last year. This year is here. I am

508
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: telling you to stay calm and stick with cecil Shorts.

509
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: Don't panic when he comes to c s I. He's

510
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: still the number one targeted wide receiver in Jacksonville. He's

511
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: tied for third in the NFL and targets after two weeks. Now,

512
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: eventually this will turn into points. They've got to get

513
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: through their hup right now, but it will turn into that.

514
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: And about justin black Head comes back, he wouldn't get

515
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: the double team that he's been getting. So when I

516
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: look at when I look at Cecil Shorts, he's still

517
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: very able to produce in this offense. You better not

518
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: panic on him. He kept rolling off, I just quickly.

519
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: I do want to point out they didn't get a

520
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: first down in thirty six minutes of game time. It

521
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: doesn't matter game time thirty six minutes. She's all right,

522
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: Stephen Ridley, Right, don't panic on Stephen Ridley, partly because

523
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: Shane Veren isn't there. If Shane Green was there, then

524
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: I would be pushing the panic button. But we've talked

525
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: about this. This is a huge theme of the show

526
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 1: and through all of fantasy football, there are not a

527
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: lot of guys that Tom Brady trust on this roster.

528
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: Stephen Ridley is one of those guys. Him and Julian

529
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: Edelman the only familiar faces he sees in the locker room.

530
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: So out of necessity, you can't panic on Steven Rhythm

531
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: all right. And finally, Cam Newton, akbar, you know what?

532
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: Panic on Cam Newton. I don't see Cam Newton trying

533
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: to make plays with the feed anymore. He's not sitting there,

534
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: He's not throwing the ball up like he needs. Super

535
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, what made him a superstar was his ability

536
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: to throw the ball and run the ball. Now, what

537
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: happens to quarterbacks who are mobile quarterbacks? They tend to

538
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: want to say, you know what, I gotta fit in

539
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: to the stand in the pocket quarter at Cam Newton.

540
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: That's not who you are. You are a mobile quarterback. Accepted,

541
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: Embrace it. He hasn't shown that he's buying into all

542
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: that media hype that he needs to stay in the pocket. Boy,

543
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: do your thing. He is playing the Giants this week.

544
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: You know that you will point out I did trade

545
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: for Cam Newton late in the season last year. He

546
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: got more comfortable carry me to a Super Bowl appearance.

547
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: Kind of tough early season schedule for Cam Newton. Bar

548
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: to start writing him off already, Panic button, I will

549
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: offer you Tony Gonzalez for Cam Newton right now, All right,

550
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: come on, let's gone. Alright, we got gun and done.

551
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: Trade has been consummated. Still to come. Michael Vick's big day. God,

552
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: I love the experts League. Chargers are in one of

553
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: our experts the honor of being our Fantasy coach of

554
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: the week. See the smart move and who made it. Plus,

555
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: running back committees can be a pain for fantasy players.

556
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: We're sorting out the NFL's most troublesome back fields when

557
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live rolls on. All right, here's a look

558
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: at the top five ads this week according to NFL

559
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: dot com. Those are the most added players. But what

560
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: about our top five? But it's delve in and found.

561
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: Do we start with Bernard Pierce? If ray Rice is

562
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: out due to injury, is it a no brainer to

563
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: pick him up and handcuff rices? He should have been

564
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: drafted in most leagues. I mean, let's face it, he

565
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: was the top handcuff in fantasy football, but I think

566
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people may have dropped him after the

567
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: first week of the season. Now you need to go

568
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: get him because if ray Rice is out, Bernard Pierce

569
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: becomes at worst are running back three of flex option

570
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: for you. Despite a tough matchup against the Houston Texas. Yeah,

571
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: and I love Bernard Pierce just the the intensity in

572
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: which he runs with running behind Ray Rice is not

573
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: an easy job, but when he gets an opportunity, he

574
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: goes out there and produce. Moving on, how about James Starks.

575
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: He had a big game emerging from the fantasy graveyard.

576
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: They're off bar. You know when the Packers drafted Jonathan Franklin,

577
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy, Jane Stars was thought to be in the

578
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: odd man out, but he got out here got an

579
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: opportunity when Eddie Lazy went down and showed something. I mean,

580
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: to go out there and rush for a hundred plus yards.

581
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: I mean he hasn't. They haven't seen a rusher like

582
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: that in forty four games. And so he's out there

583
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: making a statement. And he can thrive in this zone

584
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: running offense because they've got a lot of wide receiver threats.

585
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: The lanes open up for James Sark and he's a

586
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: heavy runner two hundred plus pounds. That's a big time back.

587
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: Like keep in mind, the Redskins are not good on

588
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: defense when it stuff comes to stopping the running the past.

589
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: So definitely pick up starts first packers back to do that.

590
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: I think since I was in high school. Guys, how

591
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: about DeAndre Hopkins. He's been the beneficiary of Andre Johnson

592
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: being a little bit banged up. Yeah, big game last

593
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: week with a hundred and seventeen yards and a touchdown,

594
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: almost eighteen fantasy points. You pick him up. I'm not

595
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 1: saying that you're going and play him weekend in week out,

596
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: but you pick him up upside. That's what we like

597
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: to talk about on the show Hot Bars. Upside and Hopkins.

598
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: He's got a boatload of it. Yeah, he's he's a

599
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: talented kid. I mean to me, when you look at

600
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson, you look at the rest of the wide receivers,

601
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: there's nobody that's in comparative they can compare to him.

602
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: How about Philip Rivers sevent t d s, one pick

603
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: over two games. We know QB is a deep position,

604
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: but are you a believer in him? I am a

605
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: believer in Philip Brewers. Not only did I played with

606
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, so I know the the integrity, I know

607
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: the type of athlete that he is. You've got to

608
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: go out and get Philip Rivers. The ball doesn't lie

609
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: if you have Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, and these guys

610
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: haven't produced for you. Go out and get this man.

611
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: This man through for four hundred plus yards, three touchdowns

612
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: and no interception. That hasn't been done since the Reagan

613
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: administration for the charter, since Dan Fouts. Philip Rivers is

614
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: looking hot right now. He's familiar and comfortable with this

615
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: wide receivers and Brown, Malcolm Floyd and of course Eddie Royal.

616
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: Eddie Royal with cheese yes A Royal referred to him

617
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: as a national Treasure today on Trash or Treasure this

618
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: morning on AM. How about a quiz Rogers against that

619
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: Miami defense. Well, he's got to be picked up in

620
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: every league. Now, Stephen Jackson is gonna be out to

621
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: for a week of that thigh injury. And I will

622
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: say that he is not Stuphen Jackson. He can't carry

623
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: the mail. You're going to see Jason Snelling in there

624
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: as well, especially near the goal line. But if you're

625
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: in a PPR league, or if you're in a standard

626
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: league and you need a flex starter, Rogers is going

627
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: to get some burn. And now the Dolphins defense is tough,

628
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: though I wouldn't expect huge things, but I will say this,

629
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: the Falcons are gonna are gonna run the ball less.

630
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna throw it even more with Rogers in there

631
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: in the backfield. And they they love to utilize him too.

632
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: And remember the run game doesn't necessarily have to be

633
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: when they hand him off the ball. They can also

634
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: use him in those shoots and screen games to get

635
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: that out to simulate those outside run. All right, we

636
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: can't do the top five ads and not discuss the

637
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: top five drops. Here they are. Let's take a look

638
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: at this board here and fabs al Sean Jeffrey obviously

639
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: in that Chicago offense, pretty good offense right now, very bounced.

640
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: He's kind of the fourth option. There is that white

641
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,239
Speaker 1: people are getting rid of him. Yeah, listen, he had

642
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: upside coming into the season and he still has upside.

643
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: But the fact the matter is you've got Brandon Marshall there.

644
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: Matt Forte is seeing a lot of burning that offense,

645
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: and they're using Martellis Bennett. So Alshan Jeffrey is a

646
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: guy that if there's a hot fridge and off the

647
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: waiver wire available, he's going to be one of the

648
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: first players in I cut, you know. And Alshan Jeffreys

649
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: he's just gotta catch the ball. I mean, he doesn't

650
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: have as many targets as Brandon Marshall, but he's got

651
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: thirteen compared to Brandon Marsha those twenty targets, he got

652
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: to make the most of those. They drafted him last

653
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: year because he has big playability. We haven't seen that

654
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: out of Alson Jeoffrey. You don't want him holding down

655
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: your roster. You gotta drop. How about in Seattle, Sydney

656
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: Rice just three catches in two games or they're just

657
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: better options. There are better options than Sydney Rice. You

658
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: want to think that the wide receivers, because of all

659
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: the success that the Seattle Seahawks have had, you think

660
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: that this is a guy that you can add on

661
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: to your roster. But Sydney Rice hasn't produced. And we've

662
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: seen this before out of Sydney Rice. You have these

663
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: high expectations for Sydney Rice, and all of a sudden

664
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: he under delivers. I mean, he's got a good quarterback,

665
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: he's got the workings that got a good run game.

666
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm getting and staying away from Sydney Rice on my roster.

667
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: There is not one member of the Seahawks not named

668
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch. And of course their defense that you can

669
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: trust in fantasy right now, not not even Russell Wilson.

670
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can trust this next guy,

671
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: Ronnie Hillman, who suffers from fumbalitis against Oakland FAPs well, No,

672
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: Sean Marino is the guy there now, and monte Ball

673
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: is behind him on the debt try sign. Monte Ball

674
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 1: is one of the most dropped players. I would pick

675
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: him up and stash him as a fifth running back

676
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: the point. But Hillman is seeing no burn in that offense.

677
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: He is now the odd man out. You can safely

678
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: drop Ronnie Hillman. Yeah, he's he clearly didn't surface to

679
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: the top of it. And you know that the Denver

680
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: Broncos are gonna want to give Monte Ball the opportunity

681
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: because they went out there and drafted him so high.

682
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: They want to give him the opportunity to succeed. So

683
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 1: Ronnie Hillman is gonna have to take that backseat. So

684
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: if you have Ronnie Hillman, because of all the preseason hype,

685
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: I think it's time now to to step away. And

686
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: that's even hard for me to say, because you gotta

687
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: go Ronnie Hillman. How about Greg Jennings. Guys were getting

688
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: a lot of comments on Twitter what you should do

689
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: with him? There are high expectations about him coming into

690
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: the season, but he really hasn't performed thus far. I'll

691
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: tell you a quick story. In my rookie year, I

692
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: bought a BMW two thousand three, real fancy. When I

693
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: realized that I didn't have that kind of money to

694
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: keep up with the BMW payments, I had to go

695
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: down to a small car gmc ukon just a small,

696
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: little trunk and I didn't have the same type of

697
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: kick and the engine, and that's what he's gone. He's

698
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: traded in a being w quarterback in Aron Rodgers for

699
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: GMC type type quarterback in in Christian. When I was

700
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: a freshman in college, I had a nineteen eighty three

701
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: Buick Regal okay, and the thing barely ran. Greg Jennings

702
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: can run a little bit better than that Regal day,

703
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: but he is not the same player he was when

704
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: he was getting passes thrown to him from Aaron Rodgers.

705
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: How actually was this color too? Yeah? I bet, I

706
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: mean when you look at those trades. But g m

707
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: c s are are hard and tough, but Christian Potterer

708
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: just can't get it to It's like when I moved

709
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: to New York, I thought it was big time and

710
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: then I couldn't afford my apartment times. That's another story

711
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: for more running backs. Locked in a time show that

712
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: you need to grab. Let's send it over to Money

713
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: and Adam. All right, thank you, Molly, will let you

714
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: stick with the car metaphor rank. We will share with

715
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 1: the kids the idea of Shannahannigan's a term that you coined,

716
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: yet its namesake not a surveyor of shannahanigans anymore. So

717
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: I helped the kids out. What are we talking He's

718
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: already moved ahead, but we're talking about is running back

719
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: by committees? You know that that troubling situation when you

720
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: think you have a solid number one running back and

721
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: then he doesn't get the most carries on your team. Yeah,

722
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: that practice made famous by my chin hand. And here

723
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: is a look to add some of the running back

724
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,479
Speaker 1: committees to watch. And certainly some of those players drafted

725
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: considerably higher than others on the list. So let's just

726
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: get started right there at the top of the New

727
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: York football giants. We know Tom Coughlin has zero patients

728
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: for fumbling and turnovers. What's the status of their running

729
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: back situation. Yeah, David Wilson is the guy, and it's

730
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: hard to start him with confidence. And that's the big thing.

731
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: It all comes down to confidence. Tom Copland doesn't have

732
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: confidence with the running of the football. David Wilson himself

733
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have confidence running the football. You see, he's just

734
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: he's holding onto it with both hands. He just doesn't

735
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: want to fumble. It's a second thought to even gain

736
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: a yard. So he's still the guy to start right now.

737
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: But if you can go out and get Andre Brown

738
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: and stash him on your bench, not a bad option.

739
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: Let's stay in New York, go to the Jet saw

740
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: a lot of Bala Pall and a lot of Chris

741
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: Ivory versus the Patriots on Thursday Night football. Moving forward,

742
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: which are the two do you want to start? Chris

743
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: Ivory is the guy that you want to start? And

744
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: I go back to something that you like to talk

745
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: about a lot, and it's the eyeball piss. And when

746
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: you just watched the Jets play, you could not help

747
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: but come away with the notion that Chris Ivory is

748
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 1: a better running back. He just runs better. We're watching

749
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: the highlights right now. He hits the whole better. And

750
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: even when you went back and looked at his tape

751
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: in New Orleans, he ran the ball better than mark Ingram.

752
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: But yet he was the one shipped off to New

753
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: York to Denver and a back that I absolutely love.

754
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: No Sean Moreno, we know. If you cannot gain the

755
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: trust of Peyton Manning, he wants nothing to do with

756
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: you on the football field. Those other two could not

757
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: pass protect. That's why No Sean Morene was put in there,

758
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: and now he might be a number one. Yeah, he's

759
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: one of these guys that you can pick up and

760
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: now move into your starting line if you probably drafted

761
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: him as your third or fourth running back. And I've

762
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: had him on the bench in our experts league for

763
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, and now he's going to become

764
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: a starter for me. I've had him locked into the

765
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: flex spot, but because of the injury to Stephen Jackson,

766
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm now looking at him as an RB two, and

767
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: I think most fantasy enthusiasts can start him as an

768
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: RB two and feel pretty confident about it. To the

769
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: San Diego Superchargers, Ryan Matthews a source of a lot

770
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: of frustration from any fantasy owners the past few seasons

771
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: because of injuries. He's running hard. I mean you see

772
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: it here. The seventy three yards has has the one

773
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 1: touchdown on a reception from that Monday night football contest

774
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: against the Texans. Looks to be the guy in San Diego.

775
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: If you're gonna start somebody, he's coming along. Yes he's

776
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: and he's the guy on first and second down. And

777
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: you know what, it wasn't too long ago that he

778
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: was a viable Fanny fantasy option. If you look back

779
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: in two thousand eleven, he was the eighth ranked fantasy

780
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: running back that season, and that year he ran the

781
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: ball on third downs just nine times. So don't worry

782
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,959
Speaker 1: about Danny woodhead to worry about all that stuff. He's

783
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: the guy on first and second down. He's the one

784
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: who's gonna be running the black. Certainly, of the backs

785
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: we discussed, the one that jumps out is No Sean Moreno,

786
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: drafted in the late rounds because we thought he was

787
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: just coming in on third downs. Looks to be perhaps

788
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: the Bell Cow in Denver coming up who has earned

789
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: our collective trust for Fantasy Live Seal of Approval wealth.

790
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: We'll tell you the names of a few players who

791
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 1: need to be in your starting lineup and all Fantasy

792
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: Live back after this and this is getting rush finds

793
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 1: it opening really deep. Getting in touchow touchdown, Cam Newton

794
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: or Michael Vick A tough choice you had to make

795
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: going into this week at bar Butch you chose wisely.

796
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: Starting Michael Vick against the Chargers makes you our Fantasy

797
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: Coach of the Week, presented by the No Phone Nice.

798
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: You know what you know? I appreciate. You know, the

799
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: decision I made really came from what I saw. You know,

800
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: I actually hold fantasy practices, So when I look at

801
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: my fantasy practice, I saw Michael Vick outdoing Cam Newton.

802
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: But in reality, seriously, when you look at Cam Newton,

803
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: Cam Newton hasn't been able to really get out and

804
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: make plays with his feet. Last week, I only had

805
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: four rushes for fifteen yards. That's not Cam Newton Newton like.

806
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: So that would and weighed heavily into my decision because

807
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a weakness in his ability to run the

808
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: ball right now. And obviously let's just point out that

809
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: Cam is your other quarterbacks, So of course you made

810
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: that move. And what did you like about Vic? And

811
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: practice doesn't make perfect. That's been ring around the street. Well,

812
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: you know since the very beginning, I bought in to

813
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly and his ability to have this up Temple offense.

814
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: And you can see from the very first game when

815
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: they went up against you know, the Washington Redskins, they

816
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: were all the money, hitting it, targeting all the guys.

817
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: But Michael Vick still has that ability to make plays

818
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: with his feet, and we've seen that so far in

819
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: Michael Vick. But his ability to throw the ball down

820
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: the field. I mean, he can stretch it out, and

821
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: I think you were going to continue to see Michael

822
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: Vick play and put up thirty points like he did

823
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: last week. All right, here's the question to you this week.

824
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: Do you start Michael Vick again when Andy Reid comes

825
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: to town and, you know, coaching against his former team.

826
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't care if he's playing against the atline of Falcons.

827
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't care if he's playing against the Kansas City Chiefs.

828
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to play the hot hand right now. That's

829
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: Michael Vick. Michael Vick has shown me big numbers, twenty

830
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: five points in the first week against Washington, thirty three

831
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: points last week. Cam Newton hasn't shown me anything, So

832
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: why should I play him. I'm going with my guy,

833
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: Michael Vick. Very convincing. You should be a politician array lawyer.

834
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: All right. Now, let's head back to the main desk

835
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: for a few players that made the starters. Club guys,

836
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: that's a tough list to be on. When ranking up

837
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: are around it is Molly and you talk about the

838
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: coaching move of the week, Well, this falls into that category.

839
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: Moving guys that have been on your bench. You drafted

840
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: him late into your starting lineup and seating so putting

841
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: some guys on the bench that maybe it took him

842
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: the second, third, fourth round rank, why don't you geta started.

843
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin is a guy that I'm gonna move now

844
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: from the bench into my starting lineup. And the one

845
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: thing was when he came into the league, Mike Mayock

846
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: said he is one of the most explosive players that

847
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: he's ever seen. When Mike Mayock is talking up somebody

848
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: like that, it makes me stand up and take notice.

849
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: And we saw a little bit of a glimpse of

850
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: it against the Atlanta Thawkins. You see right there him

851
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: scoring on this touchdown. He scored twice in this game.

852
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: But it wasn't like field stretching plays that we're expecting

853
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: him from. He was just targeted in the red zone.

854
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: And that's what I really like around him. He had

855
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: a team high twelve targets last week. He is going

856
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 1: to be continue to look for this week. So from

857
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: here on out, he is a startup. Jeff Fisher and

858
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: less Seed said they hadn't shown us everything in the

859
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin Arsenal in the preseason, even in Week one.

860
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: Hopefully this is the beginning of great things for Tavan.

861
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: How about Jordan Cameron Fats, Yeah, we talked about him

862
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: extensively in the preseason and he has really made some

863
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: very good moves from fantasy respective in terms of his

864
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: statistical success. Right now, he's a top five tight end Fantasy.

865
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: You probably drafted him to be your number two, but

866
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 1: now money at him, he is clearly a number one

867
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: at the position he needs to be in your lineup. Well,

868
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you, guys, I am not only president

869
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: of the move guys from your bench into the starting

870
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: lineup fan club, I am a member. Julius Thomas I

871
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: picked up on waivers after Week one. Tony Gonzalez I

872
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: drafted in the fifth round. Thomas is now my starter

873
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. You know how Peyton

874
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: Manning is when he finds somebody he trust, he goes

875
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: back to that well early and often, and I suspect

876
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: that will be the case from Thomas for the remainder

877
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: of the season, which means in our experts league, anybody

878
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: interested in a little uh Tony Gonzalez trade? Got Nancy

879
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: so that notice has been served. Tony Gonzalez a available

880
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: because Julius Thomas now in my starting line. It's unreal

881
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: how deep the tight end position can become quickly. So

882
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: how about Julian Edelman, fads. Julian Edelman is a guy

883
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: adam who we like the fact that he's seeing a

884
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: lot of targets. The problem is those targets are not

885
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: turning into long yardage production. So do we start him

886
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: as a three stand out in PPR leagues? But if

887
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: you watch Tom Brady's body language in that Thay Thursday

888
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: night game on NFL Network, he doesn't trust any of

889
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: his other guys. He's going to continue to force the

890
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: ball to Julian Edelman much until probably until Rob Gronkowski

891
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: comes Yeah, and look not just to throw the name

892
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: out their whole Noma awa nui the tight end he

893
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: has no Sunfeld. We'll see if he comes back. Ron

894
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: comes back. I mean, there are so few targets that

895
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: Tom Brady trust. You just have to believe you're looking

896
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: at fifteen to twenty targets every single week, especially in

897
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: the red zone, which is huge, and even against the

898
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: bad matchup this week with the Buccaneers, that he's still

899
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. Three no questions. So there you go.

900
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: Don't be afraid. But those guys in you're starting lineup.

901
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm next. We're going to look at some tough fantasy

902
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: decisions facing fantasy fans on NFL dot including two players

903

Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Lives Jason Smith and it was a boat race,

913
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: a straight up root hundred sixty How about that? Hundred

914
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: sixty nine points to nine three. And here are the

915
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: young men they had on their bench. Wow, looks like

916
00:41:55,160 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: they chose appropriately. Yeah. Rob Gronkowski there who got the

917
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: got the sit? And I believe some some pseudo breaking news,

918
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: Albert Greer is reporting that he's more likely not to

919
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: play this week, which we all sort of expect. So

920
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: here's the question, the issue facing America's team this week.

921
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: What to do with those running backs? Do you have

922
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: bench Stephen Ridley for Darryl Richardson who they plan this week?

923
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: I think they're playing damnit check. Oh yeah, let's start Ridley.

924
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: You want to come on America, Richards against the Cowboys

925
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: or Ridley in the Patriots against the Bucks. Neither one

926
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: very attractive. No, but you gotta go Ridley. You've got

927
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: to go rim He's the clear he's the clear face.

928
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: And they gotta run the ball more in New England.

929
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: That was clear after the first two weeks. Let's go

930
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: to the tight end position and Brent Selik or Mark

931
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: Tellis Thennett. It's a fantasy genius. Questions submitted to you

932
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: are experts. I liked Selleck last weekend. He got that man.

933
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I'll tell you why he got zero

934
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: because I felt like chi Kelly really wanted to taper

935
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: back on this high up tempo just because they had

936
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: a quick turnaround for the Thursday night game. Watch them

937
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: speedy right back up, Bennett or sell it, Bennett. I'm

938
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 1: with you, Bennett. Coming up tomorrow, we're answering some quarterback

939
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: question marks and much more. NFL Fantasy Live returns Wednesday

949
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: took on NFL Fantasy Lives Jason Smith and it was

950
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: a hundred sixty nine to nine three And that's including

951
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: a four spot from Stephen Ridley in and eight and

952
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: a half from Tory Smith. And they still piled up

953
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: on how to vote well, and they know how to

954
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: set a starting line up because here's a look at

955
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: their bench. Ben Jarvis green ellis Darryl Richardson. Of course,

956
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: Lance More one of the top drops we talked about

957
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier on the show, and you see

958
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: Gronkowski down their fabs. We've got a little bit of

959
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: breaking news on gronkrest our, Albert Breers reporting that Gronkowski

960
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 1: is unlikely to play this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

961
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: I think we kind of accepted that one more week

962
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: without Gronk. Hopefully it's not much more so. Perhaps we'll

963
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 1: say it like an invisible hand in Adam Smith, invisible

964
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: hand guiding America's team. I'm just keeping with the patriotic thing.

965
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: What do they do with the running back Stephen Ridley?

966
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: Is it Darryl Richardson? They're not they that? Then you

967
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: want to have a great lineup that go with Steven Ridley,

968
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, we talked about this before. Not a lot

969
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: of trust there in the locker room. Stephen Ridley a

970
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: familiar face. Gotta go with him. Yeah, I agree. Ridley

971
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 1: is a guy who's struggling right now. But I'd rather

972
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: have him in my lineup than d richards The Patriots

973
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: are going to rely on the run game because they

974
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: have young wide receivers. They have to Speaking of fantasy genius,

975
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: this question submitted to our fantasy genius. Who should I add?

976
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: Martellis Bennett or Brent Selleck. I'm going Brent Sellick here.

977
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: I think that Chip Killy is going to turn it

978
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: up for this Thursday night. I'm a little sour on

979
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 1: Brent and Selleck. I thought it was a good start

980
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: last weekend. He gave me this. Ye it's Martelli Seconts

981
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: emerged two as atfect. Last week saw the Bengals tight

982
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: end run wild against the Steelers. So I'm going to

983
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 1: Martin Martellis Bennett coming up tomorrow. We're answering some quarterback
