Speaker 1: I know that we're in that position as well, myself,
Speaker 1: you and my Ga Florio on Team BFF that we
Speaker 1: share together. So it's crunch time. It's crunch time for
Speaker 1: the waiver wire and setting those lineups. Crazy. It certainly is, Frankie.

Speaker 1: You know, you know, let go to the bank, because
Speaker 1: what do you mean it for? At this point, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about some strategy, we'll talk about who you wanna
Speaker 1: go after, and I want to start there before we
Speaker 1: get into that, with a question. What's your question? Right?
Speaker 1: Does Lamar Miller suck? How do the field to know
Speaker 1: that you and Corey together have become the poster child
Speaker 1: for whenever Lamar Miller does anything good, anything, you two
Speaker 1: are the first ones to get hit up. How does
Speaker 1: it feel? Tweets? How many tweets did you get last night?
Speaker 1: A lot? Literally? There's Greg More, Greg Martinez fourteen hours ago?
Speaker 1: Does Lamar's Miller still suck? There's Carl Anderson. Lamar Miller
Speaker 1: is something to say. I mean, you deserve it. Sam
Speaker 1: when you see you know, maybe you should talk to
Speaker 1: U Joe testa tour and find out whether or not
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller sucks. Estes not think Lamar Miller snacks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if if I don't know if Christie bones around or
Speaker 1: if that play call is still up, if you want
Speaker 1: to play that Lamar Miller call. Because I missed, I
Speaker 1: wasn't watching the game live at first. I missed the
Speaker 1: first quarter. I was out playing basketball Greg It's you know,
Speaker 1: it's the only cardio I get nowadays. Good. So I
Speaker 1: missed the first quarter. I missed a touchdown run and
Speaker 1: I'm watching it back on my phone and the person
Speaker 1: I'm with it was like, is that wrestling? They legit
Speaker 1: thought it was like Jim Ross from back in the day.
Speaker 1: That's how crazy Joe Testator goes. And I know that's
Speaker 1: like a common topic for Gabe. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: pretty out there that calls pretty out there? Are you
Speaker 1: on the side of you support Testator in his I
Speaker 1: like t his exuberance most bear Sean McDonald, who is
Speaker 1: boring as hell. Um. If the thing is like you
Speaker 1: kind of need that happy medium now like a little
Speaker 1: over the top, you can't. I like Testatory because I
Speaker 1: like Gus Johnson. I like all those types of announces
Speaker 1: more so than a Jim Nance. I guess, um so
Speaker 1: I like Tests, I do. But but Nance to me
Speaker 1: reminds me of like the happy medium, isn't he. That's
Speaker 1: why I brought it up because I like him more
Speaker 1: because McDonald was like too boring. Yeah, that's why I mean,
Speaker 1: Joe Bucks are happy me him. Also, like Joe Buck
Speaker 1: used to be super boring, and that's a good job.
Speaker 1: I just kind of hate it for it. And it's
Speaker 1: also you're at the point where, like you hear Joe
Speaker 1: Buck here Jim nancey know, it's a big game, like
Speaker 1: we're not there with Joe Testatory yet. I'm Michael obviously
Speaker 1: um speakings Testory out of the hole. He put Carl's
Speaker 1: chasing sucks. Seven yards of glory. That's my favorite That
Speaker 1: is it. That's my favorite part. When you're nineties seven
Speaker 1: yards of glory in a regular season game between the
Speaker 1: Texts and the Titans. To me, none of that call
Speaker 1: was was like super outrageous as you built it up
Speaker 1: and as venture built it up until the end, nineties
Speaker 1: seven yards of glory glory, he broke that team in half.
Speaker 1: I didn't get JR from it, man, I didn't get it.
Speaker 1: I like Tess I watched zero minute watch zero minutes
Speaker 1: of this game last night. I was nine. Do you
Speaker 1: think Jason Witten is getting better? Yeah, I mean people
Speaker 1: are really hard on him. They're really hard on the
Speaker 1: first year on the job. Like, yeah, I know. Look,
Speaker 1: a lot of people's um attack on Jason Witten is
Speaker 1: that there are a lot of people that can do
Speaker 1: the job better than him, that there's people that are
Speaker 1: more quality. Yeah, all right, you're not wrong about that.
Speaker 1: But it's his first year, young job. Give you know
Speaker 1: he was improving, he's improving everyone's romo right away. No,
Speaker 1: they're not. They're absolutely not. Now announcing update I can do.
Speaker 1: I can do a entire shot and probably would probably
Speaker 1: start like your own like announcing podcast. Probably you work
Speaker 1: for all announcing realistic. I didn't apply for a job
Speaker 1: that once. I never heard back. But nonetheless, you want
Speaker 1: me to, uh put a good word. The game is
Speaker 1: front of the Ken Fang, So do you want me
Speaker 1: to find out what's going on over there? Seven and
Speaker 1: seventy three rushing yards and three touchdowns this year? So
Speaker 1: on the great stat line? What any means? So it
Speaker 1: really does suck? He really does? Where does he Where
Speaker 1: does he rank? Amongst like running backs. This here because
Speaker 1: obviously I don't own him anywhere, like I took your advice, right,
Speaker 1: he sucks, so I didn't draft him. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: half point brs. That's okay with you, yep, in the
Speaker 1: half we're looking at points per game. I was just
Speaker 1: looking at Accumulo now because ever, and he has amount
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller the top twenties. He's twenty one, I believe overall.
Speaker 1: If I haven't met, I'm sorry, twenty two. Overall, he
Speaker 1: doesn't suck. You know what's funny? The running backs that
Speaker 1: are just just passed him Isaihral, Austin Ekela and yeah, Lewis,
Speaker 1: why do you say Austin neck? Look like that's what
Speaker 1: I do. It's like Lamar Miller's what I do. It's
Speaker 1: just little you really showing you stripes there, Greggy Austla.
Speaker 1: Don't you have on last night to marry is Tom?
Speaker 1: I don't have to watch the games? I have nothing. Well,
Speaker 1: did you you at least look at the box score? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I was following along on my phone. Why didn't you
Speaker 1: watch any of it? Why that one in net raw
Speaker 1: was much better than so I didn't watch true story
Speaker 1: about raw so I had did it pretty lately. Judy
Speaker 1: got home from work late. Um, so we didn't like
Speaker 1: start cooking dinner. We made like like a chicken or
Speaker 1: zo kale thing. It's delicious, but it was very intensive.
Speaker 1: It's very intensive. There was like an hour. I can't chicken.
Speaker 1: It was like chicken. The chicken part is great. It's
Speaker 1: like it's like it's like it's like Costa. I know,
Speaker 1: it's like rice Posta. There's butter, right, so anyway, the
Speaker 1: only where you like in there is cal But anyway,
Speaker 1: let's take a while to make. So we didn't like
Speaker 1: finish until like like a quarter to TenneT to recall
Speaker 1: on Lettuce, Greg Remain it's my dream come true, So
Speaker 1: recall all Lettuce. So then it's about like ten o'clock almost,
Speaker 1: and then we wanted to watch HBC from last night.
Speaker 1: It was intense episode. I've ever seen Hollidy Baking Championship.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that there was a acrony acronym for
Speaker 1: Baking Championship, Holiday Holiday Holiday Baking Championship, So it's very
Speaker 1: it was a very intense episode. I've never seen Jones
Speaker 1: Abisa Ruthless. It was awesome. Um, so then we're at
Speaker 1: the point where it's not like ten thirty was all right,
Speaker 1: d to hear the options. You could either go to
Speaker 1: bed and I watched Monday Night Raw, or you can
Speaker 1: watch the Kardashians and I'll go watch the Net on
Speaker 1: the other room. Or we can watch this show we
Speaker 1: wanted to watch our showtime called Escape at Denamora, which
Speaker 1: about a prison escape. Football was never an option. It
Speaker 1: was Titans Texans. I had no that both of us
Speaker 1: had no fantasy implications on the line. Yeah, but like
Speaker 1: Corey Davis played well, that was fun to watch. Both
Speaker 1: of us are no fantasy complications on the line whatsoever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but like so we Shawn Watson's fun to watch. So
Speaker 1: we chose to watch Escape a Downama, which was very
Speaker 1: She was creeped out by it. She didn't creeped up
Speaker 1: by anything, so that was really good. Um, and then
Speaker 1: just watched The Haunting House on Haunting Hill. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: told me about that. I don't like scarey things. So
Speaker 1: then it's like eleven third Now it's like eleven thirty
Speaker 1: ish were like a living forty. She goes to bed
Speaker 1: and I start watching watching when the Net raw at
Speaker 1: eleven fifty. I finished the three hour show at twelve ten.
Speaker 1: That's impressive. Yeah, yeah, I do. I stayed up two
Speaker 1: late last night. How do you go to bed? Was
Speaker 1: the thing? Is? I go to bed, but then I like,
Speaker 1: and this is really bad, like you shouldn't do it,
Speaker 1: and I know you shouldn't do it, but I just
Speaker 1: like read articles for like an hour in bed right
Speaker 1: before I sleep to be. But I mean, so I
Speaker 1: didn't actually go to sleep till like one is late.
Speaker 1: I'd like to go to bed me eleven o'clock hour.
Speaker 1: When I hit the twelve, I got annoyed. M Grandpa Greggy.
Speaker 1: The point the point being, point being, it all circles
Speaker 1: back to the month night righte some monther night or
Speaker 1: I couldn't be worse than this game. So I read
Speaker 1: two reviews and when then I read one review that
Speaker 1: actually pretty entertained, and Buddy texted me another review when
Speaker 1: that night, well, I said it was the worst episode
Speaker 1: they've ever seen their lives. It was horrible, all right,
Speaker 1: Yeah so you should you know, you should have watched
Speaker 1: me lose. Remember remember yesterday when I brought up watch
Speaker 1: a little basketball, I was, I was, I was up thirty.
Speaker 1: I had Corey Davis against Watson, DeAndre Hopkins and the
Speaker 1: Texans defense. I didn't realize he had the Texans defense.
Speaker 1: I lost by four points. Greg I lost by four points.
Speaker 1: Corey Davis gives me that touchdown, and I'm freaking out
Speaker 1: because I go up by like ten points on my art.
Speaker 1: I got this locked up. It's like a quarter laugh.
Speaker 1: But like the Texans have it in the bag. I'm
Speaker 1: like the Shawn Watson goes and like running for fifty yards.
Speaker 1: He has a career high rushing performance seventy one yards
Speaker 1: rushing in this game, and then throws a meaningless touchdown,
Speaker 1: like the Texans didn't need any of that, that whole
Speaker 1: fifty yard run and that touchdown, and then I end
Speaker 1: up losing by four points because like Derrick Henry fumbles
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. It's funny, it's like
Speaker 1: you gotta take the good in the bad with fantasy man.
Speaker 1: But like that one just sucked because it was just
Speaker 1: such a roller coaster that like it went back and
Speaker 1: forth between like a thirty minute span where I was
Speaker 1: up with the Corey Davis touchdown. I felt so great.
Speaker 1: I was up ten points and de Shaun Watson just
Speaker 1: puts into my eye. It's funny because Junior was following
Speaker 1: along different matchup in her league where the second place
Speaker 1: team was playing the third place team, and she really
Speaker 1: wanted to move up to third place. I told it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter here in third or fourth, like what's difference,
Speaker 1: But you know she's still learning. She wants to move
Speaker 1: the third place, so she's following with this matchup. You
Speaker 1: should want to finish as high as you possibly could.
Speaker 1: It does, it definitely can matter. It'll determine who right.
Speaker 1: But ultimately I understand that. But ultimately you want to
Speaker 1: match up with I'm in a fourth place, I don't
Speaker 1: really care. I wanted a third because I think the
Speaker 1: sixth tees is just weaker than the fifth. You don't
Speaker 1: play in the league with Judy yet against her? Will
Speaker 1: you ever do that? Maybe one? But the point being
Speaker 1: she was watching this team and this team was without
Speaker 1: Girly this week, and they had last night Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: and Key Qut and because that monster run at the end,
Speaker 1: they want by like point five points and like you've
Speaker 1: never seen that before, like literally eight point three, and
Speaker 1: she's like, oh my god, Yeah, it's awesome. How many
Speaker 1: people went into last night up like twenty points against
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller and they're like, I got this in the back.
Speaker 1: How many people went up? You think how many people
Speaker 1: winning the game down twenty points with with DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: and I tell you they put up thirty four points.
Speaker 1: He'd be like, I got that in the bag. Didn't
Speaker 1: happen and he had his he had his touchdown and
Speaker 1: streak snapped in this one. Marius Thomas, the invisible man
Speaker 1: from weeks past. Two touchdowns for Damarius and yeah, and
Speaker 1: he reinjured his hamstring too, which is it's an entrustrating
Speaker 1: Jnald Smith though, John Smith, I mean, we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about tight ends today. Tight End is a crapshoot. We
Speaker 1: know that all season long. It's like if you don't
Speaker 1: own Art's Kelsey Grant looked good this week, or like
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron because obviously now Jack Doyle has landed on
Speaker 1: the i R, It's like, who are you starting at
Speaker 1: tight end? I have Trey Burton in the league, and
Speaker 1: up until about three four weeks ago, like he was serviceable,
Speaker 1: but he's been terrible. Trey Burton has been terrible, man.
Speaker 1: So it's like I'm trying to find tight ends now too.
Speaker 1: And you know john Hu Smith Now, um, I know
Speaker 1: he didn't have the touchdown last week, he had the
Speaker 1: PPR performance where I believe he had six for forty
Speaker 1: so that's you know, ten ten points in a PPR
Speaker 1: from your tight end and then had a touchdown in
Speaker 1: three of his last four games, had a long touchdown yesterday.
Speaker 1: I know the targets aren't there, it's kind of flukey,
Speaker 1: but he's scoring. So you're looking for a tight end
Speaker 1: that's scoring. John Smith is scoring and they face the
Speaker 1: Jets this week. So I think Jona Smith is kind
Speaker 1: of one of these tight end streamers. I agree he's one.
Speaker 1: He's one of these guys where he's not really doing
Speaker 1: anything else but scoring. But that's all you need. We
Speaker 1: said every week we get week got jon Nay Smith
Speaker 1: certainly an option for you at tight end, as is
Speaker 1: going back to the Chris Herndon Royal. Chris Herndon well
Speaker 1: as well. He had a queer height targets and receptions
Speaker 1: this past Sunday. Yeah, the problem with Chris Herndon is
Speaker 1: that the Titans have actually been really really strong against
Speaker 1: tight ends this year. I mentioned the matchup a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago where they haven't allowed a single touchdown to
Speaker 1: a tight end all season long, and they were going
Speaker 1: up against the Colts, who have the most touchdown scored
Speaker 1: by tight ends this season, and the Colts didn't score
Speaker 1: a touchdown with the tight end in that game, So
Speaker 1: advantage Titans. They just keep getting it done against tight end.
Speaker 1: So Chris Herndon, while he's getting the targets, seems to
Speaker 1: be a mainstay in the offense now, whether it's josh
Speaker 1: mccounter donald, I believe they've already said that Joshua Count's
Speaker 1: gonna start again this week. But I would actually I
Speaker 1: would rank John nuts Smith and even use Ama ahead
Speaker 1: of Chris Herndon. I know that Jeff Drischool is the
Speaker 1: quarterback there, but that doesn't really mean anything to me. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a backup quarterback, you might even
Speaker 1: lean a little bit more on the tight end cd
Speaker 1: Usama just had thirteen targets, So give me the targets
Speaker 1: and what's likely the better matchup because against the Titans
Speaker 1: for Chris Herndon, and that's honestly the worst matchup you
Speaker 1: could have as the tight end. Yeah, yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 1: So Chris Herndon, not the option you want this week?
Speaker 1: C j Uzama, What are they facing? Who do we got?
Speaker 1: What do we got for the Bengals this week? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't have Cincinnati on my list anywhere
Speaker 1: this week, alright, But you can talk about something else
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, the other tight end I have on
Speaker 1: my list because I can't, I can't quit it. It's Denver,
Speaker 1: where Jeff Hiraman is out for the year, So we
Speaker 1: go with former New York Giant Matt Lacas. Yeah. When
Speaker 1: I saw this name on here, where's that? Where's that
Speaker 1: lacass shirt? Yeah? I don't, I mean down. It's hard
Speaker 1: to replace the can you take Me High? You're man?
Speaker 1: And it's probably the last time you're gonna hear that
Speaker 1: on the show this season because he's landed on the
Speaker 1: I R. So that opens up the opportunity for the cost.
Speaker 1: But I'm not really I'm not really digging that great cost.
Speaker 1: The Bengals are facing the Denver Broncos is so yeah,
Speaker 1: Vin's McDonald should have scored a touchdown last week for
Speaker 1: the Steelers against the Bunch. Yeah, I like uh, I
Speaker 1: like Usama. I would will we rank it Usama Johnny Smith.
Speaker 1: Funny because the thirteen targets, you know, thirteen targets tight
Speaker 1: end is crazy. Yeah, it's a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of targets. Jeff Jusicale using that tight end. Of course,
Speaker 1: he's a new starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals. Any
Speaker 1: interest in picking up Jeff driscoll. So I have a
Speaker 1: few quarterbacks listed here, just as like super flex guys
Speaker 1: where obviously in a one quarterback league, you know, you
Speaker 1: have absolutely no interest in these guys. But like things
Speaker 1: are happening. Andy Dalton lands on the i R like
Speaker 1: Portals was bench yesterday. So we have we have quarterbacks
Speaker 1: becoming available. And again you're not gonna use these guys
Speaker 1: in a one quarterback league, but in super flex or
Speaker 1: two QB leagues. You know, Josh Allen, we should mention him,
Speaker 1: I mean rush for ninety nine yards again, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be inconsistent. Colte McCoy. Uh, you know I mentioned when
Speaker 1: Colte McCoy became a starter because of the injury to
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, that he's gonna take more chances. And we've
Speaker 1: certainly seen that Alex Smith, one of the most conservative
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. Colpe McCoy does throw for three interceptions,
Speaker 1: but also throw us for two touchdowns. He's more likely
Speaker 1: to throw into tighter windows, which helps the weapons and
Speaker 1: and we'll get into that a little bit later on.
Speaker 1: But Jeff driscoll and Cody Kessler both come in here
Speaker 1: as all right, not the most sexy names in the
Speaker 1: world by any means, but if you're if you're stuck
Speaker 1: in a super flex league, if you had Blake Bortles
Speaker 1: or you had any dalton Um, you know, I would
Speaker 1: look at Josh Allen Coulte McCoy first, but Jeff driscoll
Speaker 1: and Cody Kesler just because their quarterbacks were starting job,
Speaker 1: You're gonna look at those guys in super flex or
Speaker 1: two QB leagues. Nothing more than that. Okay, so nothing
Speaker 1: more than that, Uh for a guy like Jef d school,
Speaker 1: what do you come back some of the other quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: Frank we just mentioning we'll got to Lamar Jackson again
Speaker 1: and talking about his performance Jameis Winston. Some names are
Speaker 1: on the top of the lest last week, are back
Speaker 1: on the top of the list this week. And then
Speaker 1: we'll get into the fun stelf the running backs, the
Speaker 1: wide receivers, how much you're spending, how important it is
Speaker 1: to get certain guys, and Freak and I have a
Speaker 1: bit of a disagreement or the bag. Let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: We come back that and more. Fantasy best Friends Forever

Speaker 1: from the game's best DFS players joined Daily Rhodo dot com.
Speaker 1: Back with your Fantasy best friends Forever Fantasy Sports. Ready
Speaker 1: to network. Frank Stanville, Gregg Suspen with you. Let's quickly
Speaker 1: right with the quarterbacks, right? You need everyone's back, right,
Speaker 1: everybody's back, and if you fighting for the playoffs, you
Speaker 1: can't be starting any of these guys, right, Like, that's
Speaker 1: probably not a thing. Why do you? Why not if
Speaker 1: you were stacked everywhere else, but you were just kind
Speaker 1: of streaming quarterbacks all year and now you get to
Speaker 1: this point that you know if you were the guys
Speaker 1: streaming Winston and if it's Magic or you know, if
Speaker 1: you had any Dalton in your line up for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: then yeah, you might have guys like Lamar Jackson or
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield in your line up. I could see that
Speaker 1: as a possibility. Okay, So which who would you want
Speaker 1: to start this week? Baker Mayfield, James Winston, Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: Which of those guys are you starting? Well? I still
Speaker 1: do trust Jamis Winston the moment, just based on the
Speaker 1: volume matchup too. He faced the Carolina Panthers and we
Speaker 1: just saw what Russell Wilson and the Seahawks did. You
Speaker 1: asked me yesterday, you know what's going on with the Panthers?
Speaker 1: Why why do they keep losing games? It's you know,
Speaker 1: the defense hasn't helped them out much. Especially you know,
Speaker 1: we just saw Russell Wilson throw for multiple touchdowns. I
Speaker 1: know Stafford in the lines. They didn't put up a
Speaker 1: ton of points in that game. But then the week
Speaker 1: before that, it was the Pittsburgh Steelers, where you know,
Speaker 1: they dropped a fifty burger on the Carolina Panthers. So
Speaker 1: their defense has not been great. The volume is always
Speaker 1: going to be there for Jameis Winston. The game is
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay, but I still do expect them to
Speaker 1: be trailing in this game. I haven't I haven't looked
Speaker 1: at the spreads yet. I'll pull those up to see
Speaker 1: what Vegas expects for this game. But just based on
Speaker 1: the volume and the opportunity and the fact that the
Speaker 1: Panthers defense is not playing that well, I'll always always
Speaker 1: lean Jamis over these guys. Uh. But it's close when
Speaker 1: you're talking about like Lamar Jackson VERSU Baker Mayfield. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it is tough. But what's interesting about Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: as I understand, he had seventy one rushing yards in
Speaker 1: this one, but it seemed like he was more apt
Speaker 1: to pass or take chances with his arm. That the
Speaker 1: game plan was very, very different than we saw two
Speaker 1: weeks ago, especially in the first half. And I was
Speaker 1: sweeting about it was it was very Uh, it was
Speaker 1: very odd to me that, um, I believe you know,
Speaker 1: he had like something like when he passing attempts in
Speaker 1: the first half, but they only had ten total rushing attempts.
Speaker 1: Mind you, only two of those were Lamar Jackson in
Speaker 1: the first half. And I believe eight of them were
Speaker 1: for Gus Edwards. So it seems like they were making
Speaker 1: a concerted effort to not get Lamar Jackson killed, which
Speaker 1: is exactly what we spoke about a week ago. So
Speaker 1: they tried to short those things up a little bit.
Speaker 1: But for a guy like Lamar Jackson, he has to
Speaker 1: be able to make plays with his legs, but you
Speaker 1: have to be smart about how he makes those plays
Speaker 1: with those legs have him run out of bounds. You know.
Speaker 1: The only problem that we had with Lamar Jackson running
Speaker 1: as much as he did, you know, the twenty seven
Speaker 1: rushing attempts two weeks ago, was the fact that he
Speaker 1: was getting killed every time he was touching the ball.
Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, you could give him ten fifteen
Speaker 1: rushing attempts, and you could have some of these designed runs,
Speaker 1: but you just have to be smart about how you
Speaker 1: do it. So I thought that they tried to make
Speaker 1: a concerted effort for him to stay in the pocket
Speaker 1: and try and get things done with his arm. But ultimately,
Speaker 1: when the Ravens were able to take off in that
Speaker 1: game was when they started to mix up the offense
Speaker 1: and let him run a little bit and let Gus
Speaker 1: Edwards run a little bit, so, um, I appalled them
Speaker 1: for trying to see what he could do with his arm,
Speaker 1: but he also threw I threw a few more interceptions here, So, um,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is still very raw as a passer, and
Speaker 1: that's that's exactly what we expected. Um, I would expect.
Speaker 1: I would expect him to be in that category for
Speaker 1: you know, you want him more for his rushing potential
Speaker 1: than than you want him for his arm. Obviously, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and this week it should be be Lamar Jackson game.
Speaker 1: It should be make Lamar Jackson game. But I'll say this,
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfields also been really good as late and really
Speaker 1: consistent as a late as well. They're running the ball,
Speaker 1: but they're also trusting their their their quarterback. I think
Speaker 1: it's awesome between those guys. If I had to choose,
Speaker 1: I'll give me the matchup, give me the matchup with
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. And I know it's close. Baker Mayfield. You
Speaker 1: know he's throwing multiple touchdowns in I believe five straight
Speaker 1: games now, and uh, I know PFF had an awesome
Speaker 1: tweet about this, a graphic involving pretty much every single
Speaker 1: week over the past four weeks, he's improved, like his
Speaker 1: his fantasy production and his passing touchdown totals, so he's
Speaker 1: getting better. He through for four touchdowns last week. We
Speaker 1: have to remember that was against the Bengals. We just
Speaker 1: saw the Texans defense of what they did to uh
Speaker 1: the Tennessee last night, and the Titans. I know that
Speaker 1: the Titans offense is not a juggernaut by any means,
Speaker 1: but when I'm not putting the Browns in the in
Speaker 1: the conversation of jargonnaut either, certainly not so. I think
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a tougher matchup for for
Speaker 1: Baker here, but I do think he's safe. I think
Speaker 1: he's proven now that he's safe for at least multiple touchdowns,
Speaker 1: So again, I like him. Just give me the matchup
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson. I think we might see a little
Speaker 1: bit more back and forth here between the Falcons and
Speaker 1: the Ravens. They might have to put up some more
Speaker 1: points and just that rushing floor that he gives you
Speaker 1: every single week. It's close, but I'll take Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: over Baker. Okay, fair enough. Now, any other quarterbacks you
Speaker 1: want to get into, you want to just jump into
Speaker 1: the running backs to wide receivers, did have anyone else
Speaker 1: here listed? Dak Prescott just against New l And Saints.
Speaker 1: Dad has been great since since Mark Cooper has come
Speaker 1: over for fan Jack has been absolutely fantastic. In fact,
Speaker 1: he's rushburk touchdown in four of his last five games,
Speaker 1: including the last three, So even though he's not running
Speaker 1: a huge volume inside that red zone and in particularly
Speaker 1: inside that ten, he's using his legs. Dak has been
Speaker 1: awesome since the Mark Cooper got there. Yeah, he has.
Speaker 1: But I know, saying, you know, credits of the Saints defense,
Speaker 1: they've been a lot better as well. This isn't this
Speaker 1: the same defense that matter? And you might you might
Speaker 1: have that vision that, oh, you start all your wide receivers,
Speaker 1: you start every quarterback against the against the New Roland Saints.
Speaker 1: I mean, how did that work out for Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: last week? Matt Ryan was not great. I know, he
Speaker 1: fumbled a few times inside the red zone. But the
Speaker 1: Saints defense over the last month or so are in
Speaker 1: fantasy points allowed two quarterbacks, so they're actually closer to
Speaker 1: being one of the better teams in the league over
Speaker 1: the past month against quarterbacks than not. But Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: I'm buying in especially with a Mariy Cooper playing as
Speaker 1: well as he has had a monster game against Washington
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving, so I just thought I would throw Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott out there as well. I know he's owned in
Speaker 1: a large number of leagues. Now he's over Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that people are buying at the deck man.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of cowboy fans out there, Greg, You're right,
Speaker 1: I do not realize that when I then want to
Speaker 1: look up the total between the Ravens and the Falcons
Speaker 1: forty nine points. Interesting, this game is basically a pick
Speaker 1: him right now, Greg, between the Falcons and the Ravens.
Speaker 1: And that's with the oddsmakers knowing that it's likely Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson this week in Atlanta inside the Dome on the
Speaker 1: fast track total there, and then you get the Brownies.
Speaker 1: They don't have a total right now, but the Texans
Speaker 1: are favorite at six and a half at home, which
Speaker 1: I think that spread makes sense the way the Texans
Speaker 1: are playing. I know, I know the Browns are playing
Speaker 1: well too, but Texans are an eight game winning streak
Speaker 1: and they play play great at home. So there's no
Speaker 1: total there yet though. I just total of the week.
Speaker 1: What do we have? Fifties six for the Panthers and Bucks,
Speaker 1: fifty four and a half for the Lions and Rams,
Speaker 1: and then fifty five for the Raiders and Chiefs. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you know whoever the Chiefs or the Rams play is
Speaker 1: always gonna be high total there. But yeah, those look
Speaker 1: like the three highest ones as of right now. The
Speaker 1: Panthers and Bucks highest total of the week points looks
Speaker 1: three and a half point home dogs against the Panthers, Greg, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Bucks suck. Look pretty good against forty niners last week.
Speaker 1: Forty niners is what we do with the Giants? Man,
Speaker 1: I don't understand, but hey, the Pants doing on a
Speaker 1: three games losing street looks suck. Let's take points here,
Speaker 1: gregs do that all right? I want to get into
Speaker 1: the running backs and wide receivers though, for real, Frank
Speaker 1: and you had to pull a little while ago before
Speaker 1: the program asking you who the number one waiver claim
Speaker 1: of the week was. Can you name those four players please?
Speaker 1: It is Nahem Haines, the Indianapolis Colt, Justin Jackson with
Speaker 1: the Chargers, Adam Humphries with Tampa Bay, and Josh Dockston
Speaker 1: of Washington. Would you like to know the results. Eight
Speaker 1: seven votes in Adam Humphries number one, number two, ahem,
Speaker 1: HEINZ thirty but it's pretty close and in Justin Jackson.
Speaker 1: So then you know there's no one that's running away
Speaker 1: with it right now? Do you have anything you'd like
Speaker 1: to add about the poll? Grad I knew and I
Speaker 1: said this to you when you walked in here, I go,
Speaker 1: why didn't you add Carlos Hide to the poll? Because
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense to me that you didn't. LETTERD
Speaker 1: four Nette suspended for one week. Now he could appeal
Speaker 1: and play this week and we'll see. Maybe if that
Speaker 1: appeal process it will help you in the playoffs potentially
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide starts. It's a one week thing. Justin Jackson.
Speaker 1: It's a backup for some reason, he's included on this poll.
Speaker 1: Don't really get that one. He's back up to the backup.
Speaker 1: So I'm surprised Carlos Hide and t J Yels and well,
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide has a ne role. It's a negative game
Speaker 1: script against the Indianapolis. Every game's in the negative game script. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Colts are favored by four points in Jacksonville, but
Speaker 1: Jackson's offense I believe is going to be based around
Speaker 1: in the run, which is what we've seen with Letter
Speaker 1: of four Net in the past. I think they'll try
Speaker 1: to do the same thing with Carlos Hide. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: the thing is it's only for one game still. I
Speaker 1: don't think the same one will change With Justin Jackson.
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna get at least I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna get at least ten touches per week. And if
Speaker 1: something were to happen to Austin Ekeler, then you're looking
Speaker 1: at Joustin Jackson as an RB two and anything could happen.
Speaker 1: So just given the injury to Melvin Gordon, he's out
Speaker 1: what we suspect to be at least two weeks, it
Speaker 1: could I think we'll be closer to four weeks. I think. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I want a piece of that that that
Speaker 1: charges offen. It's very potent. Even this year when Melvin
Speaker 1: Gordon was doing in this thing. Austin Ekeler has been
Speaker 1: in the flex discussion all season long. Gregg. If I'm
Speaker 1: looking more, you know, I think Justin Jackson can help
Speaker 1: you out for longer term rather than Carlos Hyde, who
Speaker 1: I think it is just a one week fix. But
Speaker 1: that one week he can he can help you, you know,
Speaker 1: get to the playoff is what we're talking about. And
Speaker 1: that's why I think more he should have been this
Speaker 1: It's more relative to context, because if you need to
Speaker 1: win this week, then Carlos Hide is probably your guy.
Speaker 1: If he needs to win this week, I'm going all
Speaker 1: in on Carlos out. And if he got left, you
Speaker 1: need to win this week to get in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Every dime you have should go on Carlos Hide. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say. I mean, can't you
Speaker 1: say something similar about nihem Heins because Marlin Marlon mc
Speaker 1: deealing with the concussion, and Nahim Hines look pretty good
Speaker 1: now now he looks he looked, He's looked pretty good
Speaker 1: all season long. Actually, concussions are or tough right for
Speaker 1: all we know more than Mac made clear concussion protocol tomorrow. Now.
Speaker 1: It doesn't usually happen like that. Guys usually miss a
Speaker 1: week or so. Um the last talk to me about
Speaker 1: it on Thursday. But as much as I love the
Speaker 1: Naim Hides, but I know he's starting this week, I
Speaker 1: don't know for sure right now, I do know, I
Speaker 1: guess as you can say the same thing is letter
Speaker 1: for that appeal. I mean, look, why would why would
Speaker 1: the league rescind this suspension? They won't. I mean, you
Speaker 1: could play through the appeal process, but I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: the appeal is get I don't already read somewhere that
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen this week, Like the appeal is gonna
Speaker 1: happen the process, Okay, so it'll be this week. So
Speaker 1: then the other thing is with Jacksonville out of it, right,
Speaker 1: Jacksonville obviously eliminated. They're they're not going anywhere. They're really
Speaker 1: a culture, right. Is it possible that they don't want to?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Letter Fran has been banged up all year.
Speaker 1: They want to make sure he's healthy going into the
Speaker 1: off season. See what they have in Carlos Hide. Let's
Speaker 1: see what they have. But I don't want to injure
Speaker 1: their franchise corner stone. Is that possible? Camera? White camera, please,
Speaker 1: white camera, Greg, here's what you're doing, white camera. See
Speaker 1: what I'm doing right here. I'm reaching for you, Greg,
Speaker 1: I'm reaching. I'm reaching it hard. Yeah, you just can't
Speaker 1: get it done. I think you're reaching a big I
Speaker 1: think you're reaching a little bit here. I thought about
Speaker 1: that too, Like the thought across my mind, like maybe
Speaker 1: you know Leonard Fournett the discipline, Tom Coughlin being the
Speaker 1: disciplinarian he is in the front office whatever, but like
Speaker 1: tells the team, like, you know, let's discipline in Leonard
Speaker 1: Fournete ourselves and not use him as much on the stretch.
Speaker 1: But when you invest, when you invest as high of
Speaker 1: a draft pick in for net as you do, and
Speaker 1: he's finally healthy, I think outside of suspension games, if
Speaker 1: he's healthy, he's he's gonna play. He's gonna be the
Speaker 1: work horse. Okay, so there you go. So not Frankie,
Speaker 1: that's all that interesting in Carlo's hide going forward is
Speaker 1: one thing. He's one. He's gonna be in the flex discussion.
Speaker 1: But I this game is undoubtedly going to be a
Speaker 1: negative game. Script. It's just a matter of how far
Speaker 1: into the game, Like is it like four teenship in
Speaker 1: the first quarter, because then if that's the case, then
Speaker 1: we probably get a lot of yelling. But if it's
Speaker 1: all right, if it's like fourteen seven at the half
Speaker 1: and they're like kind of hanging around, then they probably
Speaker 1: want to establish the run and keep Andrew Luck off
Speaker 1: the field, and the guy to do that will be
Speaker 1: Carlos High. So it's gonna be very game flow dependent
Speaker 1: within the game, and you're not gonna know that going in.
Speaker 1: Unless you just think that the uh are gonna cream them,
Speaker 1: then then you probably lean in uh Yelden's camp. Okay,
Speaker 1: so all in on A nine Hines, then all in
Speaker 1: on I definitely if you're the Marlon mac owner, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you should have and we we've been banging
Speaker 1: the table telling you to get your handcuffs for however
Speaker 1: long now. But forty owned is niheim Hines. T J
Speaker 1: yelled in, so likely not available in your league, But
Speaker 1: then Carlos had thirty eight percent, so hi didn't Hines
Speaker 1: are in the same camp. If I'm a Marlin NAC owner,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the most aggressive on niheim Hines. If
Speaker 1: it's just in a vacuum and I need to win
Speaker 1: this sweet, I'll go with Carlos Hide. I think he's
Speaker 1: one A. I think niheim Hines is one b um.
Speaker 1: And then if you're just thinking about like the long term,
Speaker 1: or if you're like an Eckler and a Melvin Gordon owner,
Speaker 1: then I'm looking at Justin Jackson. There's like there's a
Speaker 1: lot of context going into like which running back you
Speaker 1: want to try and get this week, but ultimately if
Speaker 1: you just need to win, I think Carlos Hide is
Speaker 1: one A and then Niheim Hines is one B. Okay,
Speaker 1: but going forward, you'll that's different. That's separated. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: if I have already locked up the playoffs and maybe
Speaker 1: I'm just looking like the final couple of weeks of
Speaker 1: the season, three or four weeks, probably leing with Justin Jackson.
Speaker 1: You're leading with Justin Jackson. Now, Frank, he's a bit
Speaker 1: higher on Justin Jackson. I am to me, I believe
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Austin Ekeler and all all Austin Ekeler.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's that's silly because we haven't seen it be
Speaker 1: all Austin Ekeler before. They want to use a bigger
Speaker 1: back at some point that's Justin Jackson is well. Look,
Speaker 1: it's worth mentioning that in that game where the London
Speaker 1: game where Melvin Gordon missed against the Tennessee Naton's Austin
Speaker 1: Ekeler did play of the snaps. But I'd have to
Speaker 1: into it. I don't know if Justin Jackson was like
Speaker 1: a healthy scratch. Was he even on the team? Um,
Speaker 1: you know, did he get any snaps in that game?
Speaker 1: I don't Also earlier earlier this season, he's not as
Speaker 1: worn down. I don't know that Ekeler is like the
Speaker 1: guy that's like built to touch the ball twenty times
Speaker 1: a game. He's kind of like a smaller, like he's
Speaker 1: like a stocky dude. But I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: he's more of like the Alright, we'll give him fifteen
Speaker 1: sixteen touches. He'll get his you know, ten to twelve
Speaker 1: carries and his whatever five six targets, whatever it might be.
Speaker 1: He'll be in you know, he'll be in the mid
Speaker 1: to high teams for touches. But then I do think
Speaker 1: just because when Melvin Gordon was doing everything that he
Speaker 1: was doing, Austin Ekeler was still getting touches as well
Speaker 1: throughout the season. So Austin Neckler kind of steps up
Speaker 1: to that Melvin Gordon role and Justin Jackson steps since
Speaker 1: that Austin nel role, and Ekeler has been in the
Speaker 1: flex discussion all year. So that's kind of how I'm
Speaker 1: looking at Justin jacks Okay, Justin Jackson you prefer him
Speaker 1: long term to any of these guys, because he may
Speaker 1: have even if it's a complimentary role, a role going forward.
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson guy that Frank really likes this week? Would
Speaker 1: you rather have not this week and forward? Would you
Speaker 1: rather have Justin Jackson or Rex burkehead? That was That
Speaker 1: was a question that I asked earlier this morning to
Speaker 1: you where Rex Burke had officially activated off of injured
Speaker 1: reserve yesterday. He could be active on the game roster
Speaker 1: as soon as this Sunday, but if he does anything,
Speaker 1: he becomes much more expensive obviously in the weeks ahead.
Speaker 1: What do you think Rex burkeheads roll will be going
Speaker 1: forward if he has one? Greg, we're right back to
Speaker 1: the Bellatris right, like we we could try. I always
Speaker 1: hate when people say Bellatris never does. I mean it's
Speaker 1: kind of cool. I enjoy it. I hated it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you kind of hate everything. No, not true. I
Speaker 1: like fun stuff, like like a named Kendrick Borne. Is
Speaker 1: that that fun? Though? Like I just kind of proved
Speaker 1: to myself this past week, it's not that funny. But
Speaker 1: the bellat tricks. You know, you know what we're bad?
Speaker 1: You know? He says that Jake Seeley says that not cool.
Speaker 1: I didn't say you did when it comes to Rex Burkehead.
Speaker 1: But we try our best to make a prediction here,
Speaker 1: but really like nobody knows. I don't even think Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick knows right now. Um, I'll take Justin Jackson just
Speaker 1: because he's one of two, whereas Rex Burkett is one
Speaker 1: of three. You can argue that the Patriots is like
Speaker 1: more potent offense and the Chargers, but like at this point,
Speaker 1: is it like the Charger's offense is really good as well?
Speaker 1: So I'll take Justin Jackson just because he's one of two,
Speaker 1: and we know that Melvin Gordon's gonna miss anywhere from
Speaker 1: two to four weeks. Um Burkehead, I would say Burkett
Speaker 1: has a higher upside of the two because he can
Speaker 1: he can take on that Dion Lewis roll where we
Speaker 1: saw it down the stretch last year when Dean Lewis
Speaker 1: was on the field. But we can't constantly say about
Speaker 1: Dean Lewis when he was with the Patriots was when
Speaker 1: he's on the field, you don't know whether the Patriots
Speaker 1: are going to run or pass, and they love that
Speaker 1: deceptive nous. So when somebody sells on the field, you
Speaker 1: kind of have a good feeling that they're gonna run.
Speaker 1: When James White is on the field, you kind of
Speaker 1: have a good feeling that they're gonna pass. Rex Burke
Speaker 1: ittt he's the closest running back that they've had to
Speaker 1: like that Dion Lewis Roll where when he's on the field,
Speaker 1: you don't know whether they're going to run or pass,
Speaker 1: because it's kind of like that's with army knife. He
Speaker 1: can carry the ball, he can catch the ball out
Speaker 1: of the back field. He's good and pass protection. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like that, you know, prototypical, just another like
Speaker 1: White player that kind of like fits into like the
Speaker 1: new England Patriots offensive scheme of things. So with all
Speaker 1: that being said, Um, if I had to choose one,
Speaker 1: I would take Justin Jackson just because he's one of two.
Speaker 1: But Birkhead I do think is worth mentioning. He's on
Speaker 1: this list as well. He's one of four running backs. Um,
Speaker 1: if you're looking down the stretch, you don't need a
Speaker 1: guy just for this week. I think he's kind of
Speaker 1: in that Justin Jackson Roll. I like Birkhead. I like
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson a little bit more. Where do we come back?
Speaker 1: We'll list any other running backs do you need to
Speaker 1: know about, and then we'll get into the wide receivers,
Speaker 1: which they're not very fun either, So stick around. There's
Speaker 1: a lot more coming your way. Fantasy best friends forever,

Speaker 1: just want to remind you the entire Lamar Miller sucks
Speaker 1: bit him from me last year, loving Lamar Miller and
Speaker 1: Corey get trying to tell me he sucks, and eventually
Speaker 1: I bought it. Vot it bought in at the wrong time.
Speaker 1: Greg didn't buy back in running back many than he's
Speaker 1: better than me, much better than us. Frank, who's better
Speaker 1: than us? Reli who's better than us? Oh? Nobody, exactly not,
Speaker 1: probably definitely alright, any other running backs Frank on the
Speaker 1: way over wide this week? You picking up? No, I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna hit on it. I know some people
Speaker 1: in the chat are talking about Chris Thompson. We're really
Speaker 1: gonna do the Chris Thompson thing again, guy, guys like
Speaker 1: the guy has been in and out of the lineup
Speaker 1: all year. Washington's offensive line is completely banged up. Like,
Speaker 1: what are like, what are you hoping for with Chris
Speaker 1: Thompson that he could become like Jalen Richard at this point?
Speaker 1: The guy can't stay healthy. He's an extremely talented, explosive
Speaker 1: player when he is healthy, but that hasn't been the
Speaker 1: case all season long. Adrian Peterson Capri bibs. Also, they're
Speaker 1: like I mentioned Chris Thompson's name, Like, look, if you're
Speaker 1: playing a fourteen team PPR with like deep benches, like okay,
Speaker 1: deeper leagues all right, but in your standard twelve team,
Speaker 1: like I'll take everybody that we've mentioned today over Chris Thompson,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a bow on the running backs. I
Speaker 1: totally agree that agree with that considered the running backs
Speaker 1: completed wide receivers. Frank, there's other really new out here.
Speaker 1: There's nothing that all of a sudden, we're just like,
Speaker 1: you gotta go out and get this guy. Don't think
Speaker 1: he exists. I know one name that's been on my list,
Speaker 1: Josh Doxson when I picked him up a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago when I was desperate for a starting spot.
Speaker 1: And Dowson has been good last week now against with
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy at quarterback, UH season high in yards, receptions, targets,
Speaker 1: all across the board. He did it and it was
Speaker 1: like McCoy is willing to go down the field a
Speaker 1: little bit more. And if that's the case, better for
Speaker 1: Jordan Reid. Better Josh Dockson. So I do like Josh Dockson,
Speaker 1: but like am I saying, you have to go out
Speaker 1: and get Josh Dawsons and must go out and get
Speaker 1: Josh Doxon. I'm pretty excited about joshun really specifically for
Speaker 1: this matchup against the Eagles. Man, the Eagles secondary is
Speaker 1: completely you know, ravaged by injury, and I know, you know,
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham didn't have the monster game that we were
Speaker 1: all hoping that he would have. But it's a good matchup.
Speaker 1: The Eagles have given up fantasy points to wide receivers
Speaker 1: all season long. Uh, they're extremely injured. And her our
Speaker 1: friend of the program, Greg Ray Summerlin with Rural World. UM,
Speaker 1: I was listening to the Rural World podcast on the
Speaker 1: way in today. Of Colt McCoy's fifty past attempts this season,
Speaker 1: fifteen of them have gone towards Josh Jockson. That's the
Speaker 1: thirty percent targets here. Greg, That's a massive number. So
Speaker 1: I'm pretty excited about Josh Jackson back to back games
Speaker 1: with at least seven targets. He had ten targets on
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving against the Cowboys. Great matchup against the against the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. I play in a standard league, Greg, where
Speaker 1: you have to start three wide receivers and two flex
Speaker 1: and two running back. So it's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a deeper starting wind up, and I'm trying to pick
Speaker 1: up Josh Jackson in that league and play me against
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Alright, So Josh Dawson, very excited for him.
Speaker 1: Is here number one wide receiver target this week, he
Speaker 1: isn't just because the ownership percentage is not high enough
Speaker 1: for Josh Reynolds. He's sixty O. I think the barometer
Speaker 1: normally is like sixty five. Like if you're below that,
Speaker 1: people might have dropped him just because the Rams were
Speaker 1: on top. So go out and make sure that Josh
Speaker 1: Reynolds isn't available. He's not gonna be Cooper Cup. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna be a top twenty wide receiver, but maybe
Speaker 1: a top thirty six wide receiver consistently. We just saw
Speaker 1: him score in that game against the Chiefs. I mean,
Speaker 1: everybody scored in that game against the Chiefs. But you
Speaker 1: want a part of the Rams offense, this is an
Speaker 1: easy way to get exposure there. And I would also
Speaker 1: rank Adam Humphries greg I would rank Adam Humphries ahead
Speaker 1: of Josh Dockson right now with with what he's doing.
Speaker 1: He's kind of been in and out of the lineup
Speaker 1: in in my home league all year long. I've had
Speaker 1: him some weeks. I've started. I started this past week.
Speaker 1: But Sean Jackson is dealing with a thumb injury. We
Speaker 1: don't know what his status is as of right now.
Speaker 1: That would obviously help Chris Godwin as well. But Adam
Speaker 1: Humphreys is a guy who you know all year long.
Speaker 1: We're kind of find out, like, all right, well, which
Speaker 1: which WOS wide receiver besides Mike Evans is gonna be
Speaker 1: this week. Adam Humphries has been pretty consistent at least
Speaker 1: fifty receiving yards in five straight games. He's done it
Speaker 1: in six of his last seven. He scored four touchdowns
Speaker 1: in his last four games. He's scored in back to
Speaker 1: back games. So Adam Humphrey is not your typical guy
Speaker 1: that you look at to score touchdowns. He's like a
Speaker 1: smaller slot receiver, but you're the slot greggy. And we're
Speaker 1: going up against the Carolina Panthers, who have bled to
Speaker 1: fantasy points to wide receivers recently. So I'm in on
Speaker 1: Adam Humphreys. I would say Reynolds, Adam Humphreys, Josh Dockson.
Speaker 1: I actually like that wide receiver group this week in
Speaker 1: terms of the waiver wire. Yeah, I'm I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I agree those are the guys that you want. Humphreys, Dockson,
Speaker 1: and Josh Reynolds. But they're all names that we've spoken
Speaker 1: about before. They're not just really low man, Adam Humphreys owned.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe those are the leagues where like people are
Speaker 1: still paying attention and like they're still in it, you know,
Speaker 1: much helper to look at ownership persentage time. It seems
Speaker 1: a little bit too low to be. Yeah, I get that,
Speaker 1: Josh Dockson, What do I mean his is low to
Speaker 1: I mean there's a few of the wide receivers here
Speaker 1: that we can mention in deeper lease. Curtis Samuel, who
Speaker 1: you dropped, right, I dropped. I dropped for Kendrick Bourne
Speaker 1: of the Board Identity whatever, great favorite name in the world.
Speaker 1: But Curtis Samuel getting a little bit more involved in
Speaker 1: the offense. Target share still isn't necessarily there. The offense
Speaker 1: runs directly through Christian McCaffrey and even d J. Moore now,
Speaker 1: and we don't know what the status of of Divin
Speaker 1: Funchiuses at this point. But Curtis Samuel, guy who's coming
Speaker 1: around a little bit. They're getting him out in space,
Speaker 1: they're using him in the rush game a little bit,
Speaker 1: trying to find ways to manufacture touches for Curtis Samuels.
Speaker 1: So od it was worth mentioning him, and then Bruce Ellington,
Speaker 1: who you know has been targeted quite heavily over his
Speaker 1: last two games since Marvin Jones has gone down and
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones has landed on i R. He's done for
Speaker 1: the season. That came out yesterday, so this isn't like
Speaker 1: an upside play, but he's had at least seven targets.
Speaker 1: He's had at least six receptions in every game since
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones has gone down. So in PPR league specifically,
Speaker 1: maybe deeper leagues, it's worth mentioning Bruce Ellington. I agree.
Speaker 1: I think that brucelling the lines face the Rams this
Speaker 1: week too. They'll be throwing, throwing all game. I actually
Speaker 1: picked up Bruce Ellington for this exact reason, knowing that
Speaker 1: they have the Rams coming to the knowing that Marvin
Speaker 1: Jones is banged up. Listen, I'm gonna say this, if
Speaker 1: you're trying to make the playoffs, you're starting a guy
Speaker 1: like Bruce Ellington this week, things aren't going well for you.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's probably why you're fighting to get into
Speaker 1: the playoffs, right, It's because you know you got a
Speaker 1: guy like Bruce Ellingson, But maybe you were Marvin Jones owner, right,
Speaker 1: and you're just scrambling trying to find a wide receivestrip.
Speaker 1: We like the three wide receivers we mentioned earlier, Reynolds, Docks,
Speaker 1: and Humphreys. But if those guys are gone, you're playing
Speaker 1: a deeper league. Bruce Ellington and Curtis Samuel are the
Speaker 1: next two up, the last couple of pieces here of
Speaker 1: players we want you to consider picking up. You know,
Speaker 1: Trey Quinn uh slot and also he did the uh
Speaker 1: the Microlcott dance. Tray Quinn is a guy that comes
Speaker 1: up to my mind, and he didn't actually write him
Speaker 1: on here. Um. Ryan Switzer for Pittsburgh, also playing the slot.
Speaker 1: He played nine of the slot reps fort Pittsburgh. Juicu
Speaker 1: only played ten, which is a season low for Judice
Speaker 1: for the Sues start. It's first time because he's been
Speaker 1: getting regular playing time that he did not finish number
Speaker 1: one inning the slot for Pittsburgh. So but I've been
Speaker 1: a little bit changing the guard in the slot. Vance
Speaker 1: McDonald a little banged up this week, maybe even more.
Speaker 1: Ryan Switzer, just as deep lead named a quan I
Speaker 1: app for I think that's a good call. Gray. I
Speaker 1: didn't know those numbers about the slot. So that's that's
Speaker 1: really interesting considering the fact that you do had his
Speaker 1: best game of his career right yesterday, I mean, not necessary,
Speaker 1: but Sunday. Yeah, so this past week and he did
Speaker 1: it on the outside. So that's that's worth noting for Juju.
Speaker 1: I think so too. Streaming defense is this week the Bills.
Speaker 1: We've talked about them for a while now Buffalo faces
Speaker 1: Miami this week. Miami looks a little bit better with
Speaker 1: Ryan's Hanna a little bit, but it might be a
Speaker 1: little bit being off the Bills a little bit not
Speaker 1: you know, I thought they were gonna do better than
Speaker 1: they did against the Jaguars this week. Maybe, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe my expectations were just too high, so a little
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, I'll mentioned I'll mentioned the Rams. Greg.
Speaker 1: I think I think a keep to lead is. I
Speaker 1: know he was expected to return in a week. Third
Speaker 1: team will obviously find out later in the week whether
Speaker 1: that's going to happen, but I mean he'll be a
Speaker 1: big boost to this offense and they're already the second
Speaker 1: highest scoring UH Fantasy defense in terms of thin points
Speaker 1: per game. Obviously, a lot of that came in the
Speaker 1: Chiefs game, where you know, they just went crazy. But
Speaker 1: I mean they have, you know, a few of the biggest,
Speaker 1: the best defensive players in the league in terms of
Speaker 1: playmakers and Aaron Donald and Domikins to Marcus Peters. He
Speaker 1: takes a lot of chances, but sometimes those chances pay
Speaker 1: off and then you get it keeps lead back too.
Speaker 1: So I think it's worth mentioning the Rams going up
Speaker 1: against the Lions, who their offensive line is not played
Speaker 1: that great. Um. You know, Stafford has been taking a
Speaker 1: lot of sacks. So I like the Rams against the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions if anyone dropped them because of their bye week. Okay,
Speaker 1: so there you go. The Rams, Uh a possibility against
Speaker 1: Detroit and the City a possibility against Oakland, two teams
Speaker 1: that were on to buy uh Danny Olakers or or
Speaker 1: doing Danny auto Kansas City because they're facing Oklan. I
Speaker 1: was like, Danny's so proud of you that you're playing matchups. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I liked them a lot too. They're here as a
Speaker 1: streaming defense. Uh. They also had a defensive touchdown against
Speaker 1: the Rams in that game, and their defensives. You know,
Speaker 1: it's come along, you know, like the Chiefs were brutal
Speaker 1: to start the season. I real. They signed a few
Speaker 1: guys and signed a few veterans in there, and they've
Speaker 1: played better in The Oakland Raiders offense is just tread
Speaker 1: I know. You know, they surprisingly scored uh some points
Speaker 1: against the Baltimore Ravens, but ultimately on the season, they're
Speaker 1: amongst you know, I think one of the top one
Speaker 1: of the bottom five teams in terms of offensive scoring
Speaker 1: this year. Here, So the Chiefs against the Raiders, I
Speaker 1: think that's that's worth mentioning. And then I think this
Speaker 1: team is probably owned. But the Titans against the Jets,
Speaker 1: it's like just stream anyone against the Jets right now. Total,
Speaker 1: we've gotten to that point with the Jets totally and Green.
Speaker 1: I'm also I have no choice. I was thinking on
Speaker 1: the Brownies this week. You can look at the Brownies
Speaker 1: against the Texans am Houston. I don't love it. Craig, Well,
Speaker 1: should I see the houses out there? Frank yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: because I have I had the Lions for next week
Speaker 1: and I'm ready to go for my playoffs. Where do
Speaker 1: the Lions have again next week? Is it's like Buffalo
Speaker 1: or something? Arizona? I think Arizona, Yes, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: They play Arizona and Buffalo the next two weeks. I think,
Speaker 1: right is what it is? What I told you, Well,
Speaker 1: after they face the Rams, accidentally put the they placed
Speaker 1: Arizona Buffalo fourteen. Who's on who's on your free agency
Speaker 1: that you can look at? Let's find out because I
Speaker 1: haven't I'm really thinking. But let's play the waiver wire
Speaker 1: with Greg Sussman. Uh. This week on the waiver wire, Oh,
Speaker 1: we have the Browncos Broncos based Inincinnati. It's a good one.
Speaker 1: I like that one. That's a good one. And the
Speaker 1: Seahawks face San Francisco, so that's a good one too.
Speaker 1: Pretty good. Yeah, is that game in Seattle? It is solid,
Speaker 1: very nice. I have the Bills against Miami. Greg, in
Speaker 1: my home leagues, do you like one of those other
Speaker 1: defenses more? The Titans are available in the Jets. Probably
Speaker 1: like the Titans more than you like the Bills. Right,
Speaker 1: also have the Dolphins on the other side of that
Speaker 1: game playing s the Bill is probably not a bad
Speaker 1: call there either. The Broncos. I like the Seahawks call too.
Speaker 1: Against San Francisco. It is pretty good Broncos in Seattle.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of streaming defenses this week. Good week
Speaker 1: for streaming defenses. It's funny because I don't know, I
Speaker 1: have no idea how much money. And this is more
Speaker 1: of a strategy question. I want to ask you, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how much money to leave myself for
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Have no idea. Well, I know your league
Speaker 1: rules are weird. Are you actually allowed to make pickups
Speaker 1: throughout the playoffs? How much money do you have left? Uh?
Speaker 1: I played three dollars on the defense, that's fair. Is
Speaker 1: there anyone else that you're gonna be aggresive on? These
Speaker 1: Jackson's of the world or Justin Jackson and Carlos? Those
Speaker 1: only two guys are out there that you need Carlos
Speaker 1: hide this week. I'm I'm in the playoffs, okay, So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I'd throw a few bucks on Justin Jackson,
Speaker 1: six bucks something like that. How much would you leave
Speaker 1: for the playoffs? So if you have twenty one and
Speaker 1: you drop like eight, leave like, yeah, I think that's fine,
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. I only have three dollars left
Speaker 1: my home league, so I'm just kind of like spending
Speaker 1: what do I do? I've probably spent like a dollar
Speaker 1: on the defense this week, and then, as you know,
Speaker 1: Greg I'm making the playoffs despite like not really wanting
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. It's the weirdest fantasy season I've
Speaker 1: ever played my home leak keeper league. There's teams that
Speaker 1: have made playoffs and like there's like the Dynamo super teams,
Speaker 1: and I have the second fewest points scored in this
Speaker 1: league and I'm like the five seed right now. Just
Speaker 1: really weird. Do I want to make the playoffs? It's
Speaker 1: weird season. Greg's interesting. I'm sorry reading Jake's playoff flex
Speaker 1: emount Okay, stop reading any Actually six teams make the playoffs, alright,
Speaker 1: so I think I'm third and year fourth, Thanks mam.
Speaker 1: Let's go holding down boom. I feel like Adam Cole
Speaker 1: baby boom. Is this something he does now? He's been
Speaker 1: doing that for a while. I'm watching a long time
Speaker 1: Jesus man um. All right, uh, last few things of
Speaker 1: the program. Let you know, let sign off YouTube now
Speaker 1: I want to sign off YouTube. Was tay goodbye to
Speaker 1: everybody watching. Come up next Fantasy Ball Frenzy, Corey Parson,
Speaker 1: Jim Day and the Closer Chris Fincher WIBB be covered
Speaker 1: to get out their game balls as they do each
Speaker 1: never tuesdays to make sure you are stay tuned for that.
Speaker 1: We of course go live each every day Monday through
Speaker 1: Friday at noon Eastern. Subscribe to our podcast. You don't
Speaker 1: listen live, rate us like us and give us five
Speaker 1: stars and leave a comment, and you're listening live all
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We go for another four
Speaker 1: and a half minutes. All right, Frankie La portals benched
Speaker 1: for Cody Takla. What are we doing? Nathaniel Hackett fired
Speaker 1: a fun someone's gotta be the scapegoat, right, as we mentioned,
Speaker 1: not necessarily Nathaniel Hackett's fault probably you know that guy
Speaker 1: who got bench, probably a little bit of his fault too.
Speaker 1: In Blake Bortles, probably a little bit of Duck Marown's
Speaker 1: faults as well. We'll go with Cody Kessler here, which
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're ever going to there. They're
Speaker 1: not gonna be an offense that passes all that much.
Speaker 1: But in terms of for their weapons, I think Cody
Speaker 1: Kessler being there probably helps. But honestly, you're not starting
Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief anyway, You're not starting g D. Westbrook, and
Speaker 1: I just don't see how the offense can be a
Speaker 1: lot worse with Cody Custer than with Blake Portles. So
Speaker 1: what happens, but probably a lot of h probably just
Speaker 1: a lot of running the football more than the same
Speaker 1: from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okay, so that's Maron. You also
Speaker 1: had Tom Conflin to actually come out today and say, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't regret anything we did in the
Speaker 1: off season because we were one bad call away resigning
Speaker 1: Blake ports We are one bad call away from the
Speaker 1: plant from the super Bowl, so we have to go
Speaker 1: for it. But you know, obviously they have to reevaluate things. Clearly.
Speaker 1: Jeff driscoll and new story quarterback Sincinnati with any Dalton
Speaker 1: don't over the year. I cannot believe Jeff driscoll Um
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback in the NFL. I remember him at Florida.
Speaker 1: He had a good freshman year, then wound like going
Speaker 1: transferrings like Louisiana State. Louis had a tech or something
Speaker 1: like that. It was very strange, and here he is
Speaker 1: Joco now starting. You know who their backup quarterback is though?
Speaker 1: Is it Bruce Gregkowski? No? Two more guesses. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: it's a Tom Savage. Tom Savage. Once again the backup
Speaker 1: quarterback leave San Francisco and heads over to sinc Nati
Speaker 1: oh Man. Tom Savage is the same quarterback that started
Speaker 1: over to Shawn Watson. Never forget it, Never forget, never
Speaker 1: forget Bill O'Brien, the great offensive mind that he is.
Speaker 1: Jeff Driscoll, we were a touchdown to Tyler Boyd last week. Look,
Speaker 1: Jeff Driscol, you're not expecting much here. Just get the
Speaker 1: ball to your best players, Jeff, the ball to Tyler Boyd,
Speaker 1: to AJ Green and to cj us Alma because obviously
Speaker 1: we need tight ends. And you know what, greg I
Speaker 1: looked into target share this Sunday with Joe Mixon. You
Speaker 1: got seven of seven targets is here, but only has
Speaker 1: like thirtent of the targets share in the season. In
Speaker 1: my mind, Joe Mixon should be one of these Todd Gurley,
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, the way that like they're used in the
Speaker 1: past game, that's how Joe Mixon should be used. That's
Speaker 1: a part of the reason, the reason why, like Marvin Lewis,
Speaker 1: you gotta go like clean house. We need like all
Speaker 1: new minds in here so to get the most out
Speaker 1: of your weapons in Cincinnati, because Joe Mixon should be
Speaker 1: utilized more in the past game in my opinion. Now
Speaker 1: I do wanna. I do want to mention that um
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle out for the season. He was placed on
Speaker 1: I R yesterday, which is good for Eric Even he'll
Speaker 1: get back in the saddle. He's been, as we kept saying,
Speaker 1: a red zone threat and that is it. Now he'll
Speaker 1: be on the field for more than plays he was
Speaker 1: back ups about eighty or so, which is good for him.
Speaker 1: They'll see a lot of mo Alei Cox as well. Uh,
Speaker 1: eric On. This is only great news for er run
Speaker 1: per Evan Silva, I saw his tweet yesterday regarding this.
Speaker 1: In games that Jack Doyle did not play this year,
Speaker 1: might on average ten targets per game, So that would
Speaker 1: just be phenomenal. You know, he's he's entrenched as the
Speaker 1: top five tight end rest of season regardless, just because
Speaker 1: of how he's gonna be used. Greg, I'll raise the
Speaker 1: question to you, yep, does this open up an opportunity
Speaker 1: for Moli Cox because we know the Colts used two
Speaker 1: tight ends. If you're desperate, I think there's a lot
Speaker 1: of ten ends out there, Like I'd rather take an opportunity,
Speaker 1: probably one of the Rams tight ends. He could be
Speaker 1: coming back. I think I around think of shot in
Speaker 1: Gerald Ever or Tyler Habe at that point. Um then
Speaker 1: Moriley Cox. Yeah, I see what you're saying. More potent offense,
Speaker 1: but targets share in terms of like how often Andrew
Speaker 1: Luck throws to the tight end? Do I get that?
Speaker 1: So that's gonna do it for us tomorrow, a brand
Speaker 1: new initiation of the program. Your calls, We're gonna do
Speaker 1: on Wednesdays. I have no idea, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 1: It love a team meeting. It's gonna be interesting. Now
Speaker 1: up next, Fast Well Frenzy with Corey, Jim and Chris
Speaker 1: Frank Staffle. My name is Greg Sausen. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for watching, Listening and the Fantasy Best Friends Forever.
Speaker 1: We'll do it all again tomorrow, we hope,
