I'm your host, Samantha Pervidi. Today we have 12 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 2: a very special episode because I am joined by the 13 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: one and only Field Yates of ESPN, who is an 14 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: NFL insider, host of Fantasy Football now, co host of 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: the Fantasy Focused podcast, and regular contributor to NFL Live 16 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: and Sports Center, who you can find on Twitter at 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: Field Yates Field. 18 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 3: How are you doing. 19 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: I'm doing great. It's great to be on It's been 20 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: a while since we connected and the last time that 21 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: we did. I think we're both at different phases of 22 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: our lives. I believe you're living in a different location now, 23 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: so a lot has changed, but our passion for fantasy 24 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: football has not. So it's great to have the opportunity 25 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: to catch up. Yeah. 26 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 2: I think the last time we ran into each other, 27 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: I was coming from Georgetown. Cupcake, very very random at 28 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 2: your live show. So super super cool that we get 29 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: to talk fantasy football. How's your seasons been going. I'm 30 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: sure you're in like a million leagues. 31 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,639 Speaker 1: But yeah, too many leagues to count. The good news 32 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: is so I would say by week three. In previous years, 33 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: there have been some seasons where you felt like, all right, 34 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: no matter what has happened, I don't know that I 35 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: can dig myself out of this hole. I don't know 36 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: that I have a single team yet that I can't 37 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: dig myself out of a hole. And fortunately there are 38 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: a few that are doing okay. And one thing I 39 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: always tell myself is that while this is what we 40 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: do and we're super passionate about and it is in 41 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: some ways what most people know me or US four 42 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: fantasy football, is that I try to refuse to let 43 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: the fortunes of my team dictate my sortamental state day 44 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: to day during the football season, because A it's a 45 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: long season and B there's so much out of our control. 46 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: But that being said, it's always nice when some of 47 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: your teams are doing well. So there are a couple 48 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: of squads that I'm proud of thus far. Yeah. 49 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 2: I mean I always tell people my first season playing Fantasy, 50 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 2: I literally went zero in five and it was like 51 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: it was I was so discouraged. I just wanted to 52 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: stop playing. And it was just one of those unlucky 53 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: things where I just kept losing by like two points 54 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: or something like that. Made some trades leveled up my 55 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: team and ended up winning the championships. So I always 56 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 2: teople it's always possible, and it's certainly possible if you 57 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: can target some guys that are sleepers, guys that you 58 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: know can definitely return on value right now. So I 59 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: would love to just jump I and here some of 60 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: your sleepers at each position. I guess we can start 61 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: at quarterback. Who are you looking at as maybe a 62 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 2: bilo either for this week or season long. 63 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. So, so there are a few quarterbacks that have 64 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: kind of stumbled out of the gates relative to expectations. 65 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: But I do think there's so much depth in this 66 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: year's quarterback group that there are a few names that 67 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: aren't starters right now in ten team leagues by most 68 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: ranking forecast, and I think are totally suitable as ten 69 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: team league starting quarterbacks. Most obvious one, I think is 70 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: now Kirk Cousins, who's got nine hundred and eighteen passing yards, 71 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns, zero interceptions. Through three games. He has completed 72 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: seventy four percent of his passes. The Vikings could easily 73 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: be three and zero, although in the NFL, or I guess, really, 74 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: in life, what's the old expression close only counts and 75 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: horseshoes and hand grenades. I think that in as much 76 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: as the Vikings could be three and oh, they're one 77 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: and two. But Cousins has been so good for them. 78 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: If you're looking at a quarterbacks ability to succeed consistently, 79 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: having great pass catcher certainly helps. He's got one of 80 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: the best wide receiver duos in the NFL. He's got 81 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: a running game that he can compliment passing game with. 82 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: So I think Kirk Cousins is in one names to nope. 83 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: I also think that Tiller Heineke is one of those 84 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: like it may not necessarily be pretty, but it may 85 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: get the job done. And this Washington football team offense 86 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: has been a little bit up and down so far 87 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: this year. It's their defense though, that's been so disappointing. 88 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: But that's helped. The fantasy value is that they can't 89 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: grind out wins at least right now sixteen to thirteen, 90 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: which some thought they had the best defense at least 91 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: on paper coming into the season, or one of the 92 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: best defenses, they are nowhere near the top of any 93 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: defensive metrics. So Heinecke is another quarterback that I think 94 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: is a great daily consideration where you really are committed 95 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: to just one week, but season long. I think there's 96 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: some value for Heinike as well, who obviously is a 97 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: good runner on top of being, you know, a thrower 98 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: that's not afraid that much is for sure. He's not 99 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: Tom Brady with his accuracy, but he's not afraid. Running back, 100 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: I think is where things get interesting though, because running 101 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: back there are so few sleepers, because there are so 102 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: few stars, right. I mean, we were having a conversation 103 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: on our show earlier today about Miles Sanders. When people 104 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: who watch the game on Monday night are probably thinking 105 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: to themselves, why would I want to start Miles Sanders. 106 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: He's had eight point five points last night, five point 107 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: nine the week before. Well, then you start to go 108 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: through your running back rankings and you're like, oh my god, like, 109 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: it's hard to find fifteen that are guaranteed to be 110 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: better than Miles Sanders on a given week. So what 111 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do is go, not necessarily off the radar, 112 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: but a couple of names who I think have potential 113 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: for improving value. I still think Javonte Williams for the 114 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos as the names will need to be more 115 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: mindful of. If you look at the snapshare between he 116 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: and Melvin Gordon, it's almost a fifty to fifty snapshare. 117 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: They are playing just as much as each other. They're 118 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: playing similar roles, and Melvin Gordon has had the best 119 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: highlight play for the Broncos in terms of the running 120 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: game this season seventy one yard run in Week one, 121 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: but Javonte found the end zone this past weekend. I 122 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: think there's a chance, not a great chance, but a 123 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: chance his role just grows and grows and grows by 124 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: the week. In New England, we saw James White go down. 125 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: He has a hip issue and it's going to cost 126 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: him some period of time. The Patriots in the preseason 127 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: had a guy who you know, I coined the preseason 128 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: MVP and Ramandre Stevenson who was active in Week one 129 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: and then as quickly found himself back on the bench 130 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: for weeks two and three. I think he's a talented player, 131 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: and I think along those lines, he has a chance 132 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: to be one of the backs on the Patriots roster 133 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: that can be on the field when they're running or throwing, 134 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: because right now, when they have David Harris on the field, 135 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: it seems so skewed towards throwing the football so so 136 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: much and then not asleep for at all, but a 137 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: by low because he has not been great so far 138 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: this year. It's Jonathan Taylor who super talented. The time 139 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: of this conversation, the Colts are currently looking for a 140 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: partner for Marlon Mack in a trade. It only underscores 141 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: what we already knew, which is that it's the Jonathan 142 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: Taylor and nineteen hind show. So I think that Jonathan 143 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: Taylor has a chance to be a very, very productive 144 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: back the rest of the way. It wouldn't surprise me 145 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: if he finds his way up over one thousand yards 146 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,679 Speaker 1: and ten touchdowns for the remaining thirteen games of the season. 147 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: I'll be a little quicker on wide receivers and tight ends. 148 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: We talked about the Broncos once earlier. Let's talk about 149 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: him again though, Tim Patrick, who for now should be 150 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: the number two wide out opposite of Courtland Sutton until 151 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy returns. kJ Hammler's out for the year. In 152 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: three games this year, if you play in PPR, scoring 153 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: Tim Patrick in Week one, touchdown, leak two touchdown, Week three, 154 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: five catches ninety eight yards, so up over ten Fantasy 155 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: points in each of the three games for the Broncos 156 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: so far. And then you know, we saw more of 157 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: Tyler Conklin. That's a tight that I think has a 158 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: chance now with tight ends, as you know really well, 159 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: there's like four that you can actually count on and 160 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: then the rest of them are just sort of hoping for. 161 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 3: The best now smaller constantly. I feel like. 162 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: It's amazing, right, Like we need to build a statue 163 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: of Travis Kelcey outside of every person who plays Fantasy 164 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: football's home. Like just building one outside of Arrowhead stadiums 165 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: not enough, Like I want one outside of my home. 166 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: I want one outside of my neighbor's home because I 167 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: know he plays Fantasy and as Travis Kelcey as well, 168 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: we deserve to have one of those everywhere but Tyler 169 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: Conklin played a bunch more status from Minnesota, a really 170 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: good athlete no IRB. Smith for this season. So I 171 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: think there's a chance, a chance, maybe a small one, 172 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: that Tyler Conklin will be a useful tight end the 173 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: rest of the way. 174 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 3: Awesome. 175 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 2: I feel so vindicated because a lot of the sleepers 176 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 2: that you have, I have two for Conklin. Do you 177 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 2: have any concern like with kJ Osborne doing really well 178 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 2: in weak time two and it seems like they kind 179 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: of just like slopped flip roles and Osbourne didn't see 180 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: many targets and Conklind did. Do you think it's just 181 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: going to be kind of unpredictable who that number three 182 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: option is going to be in that offense? 183 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: My confidence has already dropped like twenty percent since I 184 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: finished my answer on Tyler conflict, because you're absolutely right. 185 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: I mean, what did we see in weeks one and 186 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: two to suggest that Tyler Conklin's going to be a 187 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: consistent fantasy player? So in tight end' it's just so 188 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: hard to find. It's just so hard to find players 189 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: that are actually sleepers. You know, my best bet is 190 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: almost always to follow the money guys like Austin Hooper, 191 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: John hu Smith Hunter Henry who got paid a ton 192 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: of money. You're thinking to yourself, your team has to 193 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: invest and use you a bunch. That logic does not 194 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: always work. But when you're trying to find guys who 195 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: could be useful at tight ends, like it's hard. I 196 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: mean it's There was a week ago when people were 197 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: doubting whether George Kittle was a must start because of 198 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: his slow start to the season. I mean it is again. 199 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: Thank you, Travis Kelcey, thank you Darren Waller. Even t J. 200 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: Hockinson was held to just one catch this past week. 201 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: So the most difficult position in fantasy football to find 202 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: a consistent start is by far kind of. 203 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's definitely lucky. I want to say that 204 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 2: I took Travis Kelcey number six overall in one draft 205 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: I reached. I know, I don't care because I'm now 206 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 2: three and zero in that league, and I think I really. 207 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: Liked the roster built. 208 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: I went like Kelsey and then mix In and then 209 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: three receivers in a row, and I ended up getting 210 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 2: DJ Moore in the fifth round, which I think is 211 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: the best steal of the draft. 212 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think sounds like it. 213 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 2: You know, your rosters just look kind of funky because 214 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: it looks like you don't really have like a top guy, 215 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 2: and especially this year, it seemed like you really wanted 216 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: one of those top running backs. But once those five 217 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 2: guys were off the board, it just felt like, well 218 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: like I could go to Vante Adams or I could 219 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 2: go Travis Kelce and just wanted to try it out, 220 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 2: and I've been happy with the results so far. 221 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: Well, I'll flip this on you, knowing what we know 222 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: now three weeks in factoring in injuries like Christian McCaffery, 223 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: who as of right now is going to miss some 224 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: period of time. Dalvin Cook could play in week four, 225 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: but he might not if you were to and if 226 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: I put you on the spot, you could just throw 227 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: it right back to me. But if you were to 228 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: do a mock draft right now or just to redraft, 229 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: who would you if I give it, I say, hey, 230 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: first pick in the draft goes to you. Who would 231 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: you take, like just rest of this season, Derick Henry, 232 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. 233 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 3: I think Delvin Cook. I think Dalvin Cook will be okay. 234 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 2: Maybe Derrick Henry, just because I feel like he has 235 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: such a crazy good floor and now we are seeing. 236 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: Him do it all. 237 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: He's always gotten that rap as the guy that's only 238 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: good for standard or whatever. 239 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 3: I hated that argument, by the way. 240 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: There are people that are just like, oh, I'm not 241 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 2: drafting him in PPR, and I'm like, that's your loss. 242 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: Man, And now. 243 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 2: And now we are actually seeing him cash passes as well. 244 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 2: So probably Derrick Henry with everything with the injuries as 245 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: they are, though, I do think that Cook and CMC 246 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: will be okay longer term. 247 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 3: It was. It was very scary on Thursday. 248 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 2: Night, obviously, but I don't think that they think it's 249 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 2: going to be a super long term thing given that 250 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 2: it was Grade one and they didn't put him on 251 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: IR so probably looking at two weeks, I don't know. 252 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. It's totally fair. And I think it's 253 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: probably some combination of Derrick Henry, Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, 254 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: Alvin kamara, and Travis kelcey. And I could talk myself 255 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: into Travis Kelcey like he you know, is amazing, and 256 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara, Travis Christian McCaffrey, Derek Herry all awesome. 257 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: Henry was a doad in week one, Camara is a 258 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: dud in week two. Cook didn't play in week three. 259 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: CMC is gonna miss some time here. Like if you 260 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: told me the best player for the rest of the 261 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: year the most valuable is Travis Kelcey. I tell you, 262 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: I don't think you're crazy. 263 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 3: I love it. 264 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: Of some other tight tight end sleepers, potentially, do you 265 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 2: have any interest in deeper leagues in guys, it's like. 266 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 3: Dawson Knox or Pat Fryermouth. 267 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 2: With Juju Smith Schuster day to day with the rib 268 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 2: injury and him getting his first NFL touchdown, I could 269 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 2: see him being a tight end two in certain situations. 270 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 2: And then Dawson Knox is in that really high powered 271 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: Bills offense, and I've been preaching Dawson Knox breakout season 272 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: for a while, so I am hoping that that is 273 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 2: what we're seeing. But and I liked what I saw 274 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: from Josh Allen in week three. Obviously we were all 275 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 2: a little bit concerned after the first couple of weeks. 276 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: So do you have any interest in either of those guys. 277 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: It's kind of an exposure thing for Dawson Knox, right, 278 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: because the idea is, Hey, the Bills might score thirty 279 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: five points every single week, like they could really score. 280 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: I mean, they could score forty in any given week. 281 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: So hey, if someone's more likely to find the end zone, 282 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: it's him versus I don't know if you had a 283 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: more talented player, but he was playing on a different offense. 284 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: I don't know the Jaguars offense, right, I'd say to myself, nah, 285 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: you know, not quite as interested and on hat. I 286 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: have a different name for him. I call him baby Gronk. 287 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: And here's the reason why. He actually went to the 288 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: same high school as my wife. Now my wife a 289 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: little bit older than he is, but they went to 290 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: the same high school and we used to go watch 291 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: him play. And he played high school in Massachusetts, or 292 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: he played high school fotball in Massachusetts, which is where 293 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: we're both from. And of course Gronk for so many 294 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: years was a dominant Patriots tight end that basically any 295 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: oversized player you just called Gronk. But Firearmouth actually deserved 296 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: it because he turned into he was I think a 297 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: five star recruiting went in a state. He obviously the second 298 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: round pick. So I think it's a matter of time 299 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: before he gets better and better and more involved. I 300 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: think the big questions are right now whether it's a 301 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: quarterback can get him the ball, because that offense, especially 302 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: through the air, just looks all sorts well, I guess 303 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: through the air and on the ground looks all sorts 304 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: of messed up. 305 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is the Nashy Harris show right now. It appears. 306 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, n has thrown a number of very scary picks, 307 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 2: So that does make me a little concerned, but I 308 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 2: like him certainly long term. Going back to what you 309 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: said about James White and Ramandre Stevenson, do you think 310 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: that he's going to be the biggest, uh sort of 311 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 2: beneficiary of White's injury or do you think we'll see 312 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: a little bit of guys like JJ Taylor for instance. 313 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. So in fantasy, there's always the question that we 314 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: have when a player gets hurt, is there's sort of 315 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: two avenues. One is I guess there's three apums. One is, hey, 316 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: that player sits, somebody else plays and basically takes over 317 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: that role. An example would be Dalvin Cooks. It's Alexander 318 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: Madison has thirty two total touches in Week three. He 319 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: was incredible. That's option one. The Patriots don't have an 320 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: option one for James White. They don't have another pass 321 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: catcher like him on the board on the roster. Option 322 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: two is Hey, it's a few different players that pick 323 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: up the role, and as a result of it being 324 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: multiple players, there's not real state and the loan value. 325 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: We've seen this when other running backs have gotten hurt 326 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: and a team has just turned to a committee. Maybe 327 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: that will be the case of something happened to Derek Henry, 328 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: God forbid. But I don't feel like there's a one 329 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: for one beneficiary in Tennessee. The third thing is that 330 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: the people who benefit the most aren't actually the replacement 331 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: for that player. And so I kind of wonder if 332 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: what's happening what's gonna happen with the Patriots offense at 333 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: some point, is if they ultimately realize they have to 334 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: change their stripes a little bit, they are probably not 335 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: good enough to win a ton of games twenty to seventeen. 336 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: I mean, how many teams in the NFL can consistently 337 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: hold an opponent the seventeen or so points. The answer 338 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: is not many. But the Patriots probably have to open 339 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: things up a little bit when they have Damian Harris 340 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: on the field. Teams know the runner. I mean, he's 341 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: a very very talented runner. But when you're one dimensional, 342 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: that just makes the job so much easier on defensive 343 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: coordinators and defensive players. So my thinking has been they 344 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: got to open things up a little bit because they 345 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: have matchups including I don't know if you heard, but 346 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: they're playing the Bucks on Sunday and Tom Brady is 347 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: coming back to New England for the first time. 348 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 3: Very exciting revenge game. 349 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe the only time. By the way, I mean, 350 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: he's forty four, I shouldn't count him out, but I 351 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: mean they don't play again in Foxborough for about eight years, 352 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: so I would think, yeah, this is the only time 353 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: he's going to play unless he changes teams. But we'll 354 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: talk about that on a different show if that ever happens. 355 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: But my thinking is just that they're gonna have to 356 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: change their ways, but they're gonna have to open things up, 357 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: and as a matter as a result of that, they're 358 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: gonna have to throw it more. And in terms of 359 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: pass catchers that I think I trust more on that roster, 360 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: trust most. You know, there's four guys they paid this offseason, 361 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: Hunter Henry Johnny Smith, Nelson Aguilar, and Kendrick Bourne. So 362 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: Ramandre is a sleeper for me for the rest of 363 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: the season, but I have to see it a little 364 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: bit before I really invest in it heavily. 365 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 2: Fair enough, I'm just not sure how this how this 366 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: backfield's going to shake out. It's true they don't have 367 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 2: Most teams don't have a James White on their team 368 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 2: at all, so it is obviously very, very difficult to 369 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 2: replace a guy like that. Speaking of running back injuries, 370 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: I'd like to just get your take. How much of 371 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 2: a person's fab would you suggest they spend on Chubba 372 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: Hubbard this week? 373 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, so this is actually a question that we 374 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: was posed to us on our show earlier today, so 375 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: I have an answer that's fresh on my mind. I 376 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: said about thirty percent. Now every exactly what I said. Actually, 377 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: So okay, I was gonna say great minds, think like 378 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: more like you're my average mind on this one instance, 379 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: not like you're a great mind. What I think is 380 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: all the usual caveats applying, right, depends on the league size, 381 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: depends on who you have on your roster, depends on 382 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 1: how your record is. All those things right, So, but 383 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: that applies to almost every conversation in fantasy. What you have, though, 384 00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: is the potential for maybe three weeks, maybe five, maybe seven. 385 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: And unfortunately we have a recency bias in fantasy sports. 386 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: Last year we saw Christian McCaffrey get hurt and then 387 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: come back and then get hurt again. If that were 388 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: to happen, like, if it gets hurt again and Chubble 389 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: plays really well these next two three weeks, then you 390 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: should be saying to yourself, Okay, I need to hold 391 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: onto this guy, because if something happens with CMC, we 392 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: certainly don't want it to happen to any player, then 393 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: I have a very valuable piece. So thirty percent seems 394 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: like sort of a sweet spot for me. Some people 395 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,239 Speaker 1: are the first week they spend all the money they 396 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: have available, or they wait, they say, hey, I'm not 397 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: going to spend a penny until week eight because there's 398 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: so much fools gold early on in the season. So 399 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: thirty percent took a sweet spot last Week's a good 400 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: testament to this, though, is that the reason why Hubbard's 401 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: valuable is prior to Sunday or maybe even Friday, when 402 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: it felt like Dalvin Cook's status became much more up 403 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: in the air, there wasn't a single running back last week, 404 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: and I was like, gotta do it. Like last week's 405 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: top running back GAD was Tony Pollard, who's a certainly 406 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: a very talented player, but he plays a third of 407 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys snaps number two on his own team. So 408 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 1: these opportunities to land are starting running back don't come 409 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: all that often. 410 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 3: No, totally totally agree. 411 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 2: It's just it is a little tricky because obviously people, 412 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: a lot of people spent up to one hundred percent 413 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: of their fab on a guy named Elijah Mitchell. I 414 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 2: don't know where you stood on that one, but certainly 415 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:41,959 Speaker 2: big there should be obviously a good balance. Next up 416 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 2: here on the Fantasy Flax is our Elite entry segment, 417 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 2: where we will dive into the Prize Picks app to 418 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 2: build some entries. Today we are going to look at 419 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: Thursday Night plays for week four on Prize Picks as 420 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 2: the zero to three Jaguars go on the road to 421 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 2: take on the two and one Bengals, and another Thursday 422 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: Night thriller. Thursday Night Football is back. So we got 423 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 2: Davis Mills versus Sam Darnold last week, and we get 424 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: another Barnburner, so let's just jump right into it. The 425 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 2: first play that I like is Trevor Lawrence under two 426 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 2: hundred forty six and a half passing yards. Lawrence has 427 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 2: been one of the more disappointing storylines this season for 428 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 2: fantasy purposes, though I will know I don't think that's 429 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: totally his fault. I think urban Meyer is more to 430 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 2: blame than Lawrence is. It just seems like he needs 431 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 2: a little bit more refinement. But anyway, he threw for 432 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 2: three hundred and thirty two yards in the first week 433 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 2: against Houston's JV defense, but just one hundred and eighteen 434 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 2: and two hundred and ten yards against Denver and Arizona, respectively. 435 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: He has thrown at least two picks in each of 436 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 2: the first three games too. And get the Bengals on 437 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 2: a short week this week, whose pass rush has actually 438 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 2: looked really good Like last week. I wasn't sure if 439 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 2: it was just the Steelers offensive line that looked bad, 440 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 2: but I think give credit where credit is due. The 441 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: Bengals are actually now tied for fourth in sacks per game. 442 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 2: Two dred and forty six yards just feels like too 443 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 2: many in a game that I and Vegas expect to 444 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 2: be pretty low scoring with a point total of forty 445 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: five and a half, So give me the under on 446 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence's passing yards. The next one that I like 447 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: is Joe Mixon over eighty three and a half rushing yards. 448 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 2: It is finally Joe Mixon season, folks, and I am 449 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 2: here for it. Mixon is finally healthy and the unrivaled 450 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 2: belcow running back in this offense with Jeo Bernard and Tampa. 451 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 2: So far, he is sixty seven of the Bengals eighty 452 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 2: attempts all year on the ground for two hundred and 453 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 2: eighty six yards in a touchdown with backup samaj p 454 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 2: Ryan seeing the only other running back attempts for six 455 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 2: carries in twenty one yards. So suffice it to say 456 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 2: that pe Ryan is not a factor right now. The 457 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: Jaguars are pretty middle of the road against the run, 458 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 2: though I actually think they're probably a little worse and 459 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: this is just more of a symptom of how bad 460 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 2: they are against receivers. I like mixing to smash the 461 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 2: over here. The last one that I like is Tyler 462 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 2: Boyd over fifty six and a half receiving yards. It's 463 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: not looking good for t Higgins who is banged up 464 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 2: with a shoulder injury for this game on the short week, 465 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 2: which will mean Tyler Boyd and Jamar Chase will get 466 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 2: the majority of the targets. Of course, if Higgins does play, 467 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 2: I would probably go under here. These lines will probably 468 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 2: change though if Higgins does play. But Boyd had a 469 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 2: big game in Week three caught four of six targets 470 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 2: for thirty six yards in a touchdown while Higgins was 471 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 2: sidelined against a Steelers secondary that is much much tougher 472 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 2: than Jacksonville's. I expect Chase will be the alpha here, 473 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 2: but I think there's going to be plenty of passing 474 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 2: yards to go around. So give me the over on 475 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 2: fifty six receiving yards for Boyd. All Right, that is 476 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 2: our elite entry for Thursday Night Football, going with Trevor 477 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 2: Lawrence under two hundred forty six and a half passing yards, 478 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 2: Joe Mixon over eighty three and a half rushing yards, 479 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 2: and Tyler Boyd over fifty six and a half receiving yards. 480 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 2: And just to note, guys, last week we got I 481 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 2: believe three out of four correct, so let's keep the 482 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 2: hot streat going.

Any interest in 496 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 2: any of those guys. Gordon getting signed with the Chiefs, 497 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: Kadarius Tony obviously having maybe a rocky preseason but now 498 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: looking like he has opportunity or possibly opportunity of Shepherd 499 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 2: missus time. And then Bateman obviously eligible to come back 500 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: from IR this week, So he's guy that I'm maybe 501 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 2: eyeing on waivers as a stash, especially with Marquise Brown's 502 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 2: three terrible drops in the first half of last game. 503 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: I like the first two two rookies, more so Rasha 504 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: Bateman and and also Cadarius Tony, because those teams probably 505 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: need them more than the Chiefs need Josh Gordon. Kadarius 506 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 1: Tony was so talented a Florida. What the Giants need 507 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: to find a way to do is maximize some touches 508 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: here for Kadarius Tony, which I am speaking generally. I 509 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: don't like drop the hammer on coaches as hard as 510 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: maybe some of my media brethren does. And that's okay, 511 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: Like I'm not saying they're wrong to do so, I'm 512 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: also not saying that everybody is required to. But the 513 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: Giants have not been the most creative offense. It's time 514 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: for them to find a way to get Kadarius Tony 515 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: the ball in space. My friend Mina Kymes had the 516 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: analogy of him of calling him like a participate in 517 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: the game of Frogger when he was playing at Florida right, 518 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: like he could just make anybody miss. He could run 519 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 1: to traffic ably when you see some of that from 520 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: Herdarius Tony because the skill set I do believe is 521 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: there and Bateman really talented player, had things going early 522 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: in training camp and while the Ravens are now two 523 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: and one, Like you know, the narrowest the fingernail width 524 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 1: of margins. They need more that. 525 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 2: Narrow if Marquise Brown had caught like one of those 526 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 2: just the ball. 527 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: But I think I think, you know, Baitman's a guy 528 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: that I love that of Adam Minnesota is one of 529 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: my favorite prospects in the draft. So I do hope 530 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: that the Ravens find a way to carve out a 531 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: role basically right away for him. 532 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 3: Fair enough. I have one more question and people will 533 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 3: wrap up here. 534 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 2: The rookie quarterback class has been a little bit disappointing. 535 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 2: Obviously had a pretty disappointing game with Justin Field's three 536 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 2: point nine fantasy points last week, and it's definitely not 537 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 2: what you want to see. And Lawrence has had a 538 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 2: number of issues, thrown two picks in every single game 539 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 2: this year. Do you have confidence in one guy moving 540 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 2: forward as like a type of sleeper that managers can target. 541 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: It's still Trevor Lawrence, who was drafted, is more than 542 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: a sleeper. I think he was like quarterback sixteen in 543 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: terms of average rat position. I know, yeah, And I 544 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: think some of that is probably like your philosophy, like 545 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: if you're a two. If you want to have two 546 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that your roster at all times, he should absolutely 547 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: be on rosters if you are, Hey, I have a 548 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, I don't need a Trevor Lawrence on my bench, 549 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: or I have a Josh Allen or whoever it is, 550 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I get that it's gonna take time for 551 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: all of them. Unfortunately. You know, the great part about 552 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: having Justin Herberts and Patrick Mahomes, even though the Homes 553 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: didn't start till the second season as a full time starter, 554 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: is that the NFL is in such good hands. The 555 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: downside to it is that these guys who follow a 556 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: much more common rookie trajectory are being considered bus like 557 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: two weeks into their career. Give all of them time. 558 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: I still believe in all five of the first round quarterbacks, 559 00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: but Trevor Lawrence is the one that I think has 560 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: most fantasy upside still this year awesome. 561 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 3: Well, thank you, thank you so so much. Field. 562 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 2: Why don't you tell us about Sling TV's offer this 563 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 2: season for NFL fans. 564 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: Yes, so, if you're trying to find the best way 565 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: to watch the ball, I have a suggestion for you. 566 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: Go sign up for Sling TV right now.

But prior 572 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: to that, in a different world, when we were not 573 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: largely constrained to where we are, I was traveling a ton, 574 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: I was spending a ton of time in hotels, and 575 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: what I was missing was the flexibility.
