Starts now. Yeah, yeah, hello everybody, and welcome 11 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: to NFL Fantasy Live presented by Bows. I'm James co 12 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: joined alongside but NFL dot Com see your Fantasy analyst 13 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano. Mike, it was a crazy week two in 14 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: terms of injuries. Yeah. They had the Mash theme song 15 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: playing in the newsroom at the NFL Network yesterday. It 16 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: seemed like when one guy got hurt, someone else quickly 17 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: fell thereafter. It was a rough, rough day. Yeah, absolutely, 18 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: all right, Molly Caram and the guys will be joining 19 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: us as well. But first we start in Minnesota, where 20 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: the Vikings announced in a statement Monday morning that running 21 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: back Adrian Peterson will participate in practice this week and 22 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: is expected to play next Sunday against the Saints. Peterson 23 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: was charged Friday with reckless or negligent injury to a 24 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: child and was deactivated for Sunday's contest as the team 25 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: evaluated the situation. Now, the Vikings say they will allow 26 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: the legal process to play out. Here's part of the 27 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: team's statement Monday morning. To be clear, we take very 28 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: seriously any matter that involves the welfare of a child. 29 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: At this time, however, we believe this is a matter 30 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: of due process and we should allow the legal system 31 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: to proceed so we can come to the most effective 32 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: conclusions and then determine the appropriate course of action. All right, 33 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: Let's transition to Washington were an all too familiar story 34 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: for Washington fans played out as Robert Griffin the third 35 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: left Sunday's game with a gruesome looking ankle injury. It's 36 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: believed r G three dislocated to the ankle. Griffin had 37 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: an m r I on Monday, and he told reporters 38 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: that he does not have a fracture nor does he 39 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: require surgery, which would have ended his season. Obviously, His 40 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: recovery timetable is not immediately known, but we will update 41 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: you as soon as we do find out. Griffin has 42 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: torn his right a c L both in the two 43 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: thousand nine and the two thousand twelve seasons. Fabs Kirk 44 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: Cousins man, he looked great filling in for r G 45 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: three Sunday. Is he a long term at He is 46 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: a guy that's definitely gonna be added in a lot 47 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: of leagues this week because of the offense around him, 48 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: because of the fact that he's a really good fit 49 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: for what Ja Gruden wants to do, and there's a 50 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: lot of good weapons there in Washington as well. Can 51 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: he be this year's Nick Foles? He certainly could be. 52 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: There's no question about it. I remember, this is a 53 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: guy who's playing first starting job. At some point in 54 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 1: the future. He could earn one for the long term 55 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Devastating news, I shouldn't say devastating, but 56 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: tough news if you're Jamal Charles owner. Last year's top 57 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: scoring fantasy running back, Jamal Charles left Sunday's contest against 58 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: the Broncos after just three touches. Monday head coach Andy 59 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: reads that Charles has the dreaded high ankle spring. I 60 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: don't know what that means in terms of how much 61 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: time he's gonna miss, but Fabs Nile Davis is absolutely 62 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a hot waiver wire pick up this week. 63 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: What's questioning about it. He has got a lot of value. 64 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: He could be a low nd RB one, a high 65 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: end RB two. We saw what he did against the 66 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos when Charles went down, and this high ankle spring, 67 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: that's what scares me. That's a four to six week 68 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: injury typically. So if you have a Jamal Charles, you're 69 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: putting him on your bench and you are running to 70 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: the waiver wire and picking up now David's. Luckily, there's 71 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of running backs you can pick 72 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: up off the waiver wire this week because of all 73 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: the injuries. Yeah, if you miss out on Niles Is Davis. 74 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: I mean, there's just a litany of injuries in a 75 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: litany of high Robbinson's gonna be out there, Donald Brown 76 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: is going to be out there. There's a few, there 77 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: are a few. Unfortunately. All right, We've got plenty more 78 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: injury news for you coming up, but for now, let's 79 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: send it over to the guys to talk about Monday 80 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: night matchup between the Eagles and Colts. James, thank you. 81 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: We hope to have a lighter discussion here now, guys, 82 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: A good one on tap tonight in Indianapolis. Eagles and Colts, 83 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: too young, good quarterbacks squaring off. Let's start with the Colts, Adam, 84 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: what are you expecting out of Andrew Luck tonight? A 85 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: lot of points? This guy has been dealing ever since 86 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: he walked into the league, and now he's got a 87 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: pretty decent matchup against the Eagles. So if you're in 88 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: one of those positions where you're like, I need X 89 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: amount of points to win tonight, if you've got Andy Luck, 90 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: feel pretty confident about it because he's going to be 91 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: throwing the ball at toime because you've got a figure 92 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: rock bar. The game plan there cannot involve the running 93 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: game because Trent Richards and his struggle and a mod 94 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: brad Shaw is not really a true just workhorse running back. 95 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: So he's gonna be throwing the ball a lot. There's 96 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of opportunities to score a lot 97 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: of points. So feel very comfortable if you got Luck, go. 98 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: I believe the recipient Molly is going to be Reggie White. 99 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: He's going to be the at the end of a 100 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: lot of those passes. When you look at that Week 101 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: one game against the Denver Broncos, he was targeted thirteen times, 102 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: called nine passes. So for all of those owners who 103 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: had doubt in Reggie Wayne somehow that he wasn't gonna 104 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: be the same because of his a c L injury, well, 105 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: keep in mind, I reminded you that Jerry Rice was 106 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: able to come back from an a c L injury 107 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: and still ball out. Reggie Wayne is still the same guy. 108 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,119 Speaker 1: A c L nowadays is like the new sprain ankle. 109 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: He'll be able to recover. He's going to be very 110 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: productive against this great matchup against the Philadelphy Eagles. All Right, 111 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: He's got a few other beneficiaries there, and Dayne Allen 112 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: seems to be one of them. He seems to be 113 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: the red zone threat there. Now, absolutely you gotta start 114 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: Dwayne Allen and all of your fantasy leagues. There was, 115 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: you know, the the the popular narrative that Kobe Fleaner 116 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: was gonna be the guy because he's too because him 117 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: and luck, you know, it just it just seemed like 118 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: it was gonna be, and we bought into it a 119 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: little bit too much. But Dwayne Allen, he's been explusive 120 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: ever since he locked in the field, and I have 121 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: to believe that when Luck finally got a chance to 122 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: see him and he's like, oh my gosh, this guy 123 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: is really good. So of course he continues to target, 124 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: and as we just saw right there in the replay, 125 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: he can also you know, he's got a little burst 126 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: right there, you can he can take it upfield and move. 127 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: As we see right here, he's coming to us. Those 128 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: are six points. Gotta like, yeah, And it's debatable he 129 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: might even be the number three guy there in that 130 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: passing offense, even ahead of Hockey Knicks. Here's a look 131 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: at your projections now, gentlemen, and I love this. You 132 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: don't because you kind of agree its it easier for 133 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: us out here. What do you call that? SMA? And 134 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: now I want you to take a look at my 135 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: number for Trent Richardson. No coincidence there, but that's his 136 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: actual number, thirty four three point four, and then Mikay 137 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: George yours is his number reverse. I don't know, Like 138 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm wearing the jersey inside out of the protest right, protesting. 139 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: I have a feeling you wonna be so even there 140 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to the Eagles. So let's switch over 141 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: to the visitors sideline. Now, a lot of Fantasyanders are 142 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: really going to have to depend on Lashawn McCoy to 143 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: pull out a win tonight at bar Well. This is 144 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: gonna be the game for him because when you look 145 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: at this matchup for the Philadelphia Eagles against the Cults, 146 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: it's very, very easy to see how Lashawn McCoy can 147 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: get off. And the reason why is because they have 148 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: so many dynamic guys at different positions. They have Jeremy mckley, 149 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: he's a dynamic player. They have Darren Sprowls he's dynamic, 150 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: and I believe in his own right, Nick Foles is 151 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: a dynamic player. So what does that do to a defense? 152 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: It really puts you in a position where you have 153 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: to be honest. You have to be able to play 154 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: the matchup and the matchups. Lashaw McCoy is gonna win. 155 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: He's fast on the outside, he's good with the run game, 156 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: excuse him, good with the run game and good than 157 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: the passing game. Lashaw McCoy is gonna ball out in 158 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: this game. Good. I'm one of those people that need 159 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: and out of Nick Foles. A little bit of a 160 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: slow start last week, you think he'll be sharper this week. Yeah. 161 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: I got a lot of confidence in Falls and Chip 162 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: Kelly and that offense, and I feel this is a 163 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: pretty good matchup too. If you look right there. Nick 164 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: Foles has been very good in the road games. There's 165 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of question because some members came out 166 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: that the Colts have been tough on quarterbacks at home, 167 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: especially in their last three where they've had They've allowed 168 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: to touchdowns and had six interceptions. But I went and 169 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: looked at the quarterbacks, not great ones, case Keenum, Ryan Fitzpatrick. 170 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: It was kind of the curtain jerkers from the But 171 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: I like case. But he's fine. He's one of the 172 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: elite quarterbacks. Shall I like foals? Don't don't don't be 173 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: afriend for Zach or it's really shines in the red zone. 174 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: Are you high on his production? Toime? Very high on 175 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: Zach's production. There's this thing called a scouting report. You 176 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: get that every Wednesday when you come in after your 177 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: Sunday game, and the scouting report should show up that 178 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: this Philadelphia Eagles excuse me. The Indianapolis Colts gave up 179 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: a lot of points a tight end. That guy was 180 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: Julius Thomas, and the way they got to there they 181 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: used different formation to create certain matchups. Well, zach ERTs, 182 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: the same type of athletes, same body frames, sing south, 183 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: not as fast as Julius Thomas. But I believe that 184 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles are gonna use the same formations to 185 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: get that mismatch. All right, takeing a look at your 186 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: projections for the Eagles. You are not some partico. I 187 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: can't say that, my friends at our nineteen points for 188 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, that's a great night. Thirty five points for 189 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: Lashaw McCoy, that's big time, prime time, showtime, all time, 190 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: good time. I'm buying what you're saying about using the 191 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: different formations about McCoy is going to be the beneficiary matters. 192 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: But you know what, Actually, I'm one of those guys 193 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: who needs a lot of points from full Can I 194 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: get thirty? I need thirty from I don't know overcome 195 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: a lot of the not good performances there. So congratulations 196 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: to Nick Foles and all the holders. Everybody needs it 197 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: the power of TV. Thanks you guys, now we'll send 198 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: it back to James and FABS for more on the 199 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: injuries and news and notes. All right, thanks guys. Let's 200 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: take a look at some more more injuries, and there's 201 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,599 Speaker 1: plenty of them from week two. As you see we 202 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: mentioned off top Probert grif from the third one of 203 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 1: the high profile names there, Jamal Charles, but at the 204 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: bottom of the list. Yeah, it's not just injuries, it's 205 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: injuries to big names cops. Absolutely. I mean you talk 206 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: about a j Greeney played one series of de Sean Jackson, 207 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: Eric Decker to Tavon Austin. Vernon Davis was reportedly seen 208 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: in crutches after the game as well, another big time injury. 209 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: So again we're talking about a lot of stars here. Uh, 210 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: seeing that training table and that's not a good thing. 211 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: But let's first start by talking about no Shan Morenal. 212 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: Hey listen, just when he was really starting to get going, 213 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: Moreno is now out at least four weeks with a 214 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: dislocated elbow. Lamar Miller also left the game with an 215 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 1: ankle injury, but he will get the bulk of the 216 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: work next week if he suits up. Is there somebody 217 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: else we might be keeping an eye on in that 218 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: Miami backfield. Well, they resigned Daniel Thomas. Maybe they're gonna 219 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: call it Tony Nathan. I don't know, because they are 220 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: really hurting at the running back position. I just dated 221 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: myself there with reference, so Elliot Harrison will definitely appreciate 222 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: that one. But right now, Miller is the guy to 223 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: own from that dolphin's backgroud unless he can't play, and 224 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: then Daniel Thomas. It's it's rough out there. It's crazy 225 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: are in San Diego. Ryan Matthews had to be hardened 226 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: off the field with the right knee injury. NFL media 227 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: insider Ian Rap Report reports that the initial diagnosis is 228 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: in mcl spring, which could keep him out four to 229 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: five weeks. The sure me occurred in the fourth quarter 230 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: of the Chargers win over the Seahawks. Were assuming Donald 231 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: Brown is the appropriate ad here, but we're also talking 232 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: about a guy i Donald Brown that has nine carries 233 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: for nineteen yards so far. So I mean, I guess 234 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: he's the right ad. To my right and say this 235 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: he is because they don't want to move Danny Woodhead 236 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: into that early down roll. That's just not a fit 237 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: for him. He is more of the passing down roll, 238 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: change of pace back. So Donald Brown comes, and remember 239 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: he was twenty five and fantasy points among running backs 240 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: last year and it was much better than Trent Richardson 241 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. So this is a guy that's gonna be 242 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: picked up and added in a lot of leagues and 243 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: he should be all right, let's talk about mark Ingram. 244 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: Just when fantasy owners were finally reaping the benefits from 245 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: the Saints power running back, Ian Rapp Report reports that 246 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: Ingram is now expected to miss about a month with 247 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: a broken hand, even though Ingram suffered the injury in 248 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: the first half against Cleveland and still finished the game. 249 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: Where no Ingram owners turn from here, though, Well, you're 250 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: going to Kybie Robinson, a guy who is a deep 251 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: sleeper on NFL dot Com in the preseason. Now he's 252 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: gonna fill in and be that mark Ingram tie up 253 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: of role. Uh, fill that marketing role. Thomas is also 254 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: going to see a bigger role too, but I still 255 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: think they want to utilize him more as sort of 256 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: that passing down guy who's replacing Darren Sproles in that offense. 257 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: But maybe Thomas sees some more goal line carries as well. 258 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: So that's gonna help his value. But it's too bad 259 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: because Ingram has been a disappointment at the NFL and 260 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: he's really started to look good. A J. Green left 261 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: on Cincinnati's very first offensive drive. He had to leave 262 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: the game with a ligma strain in his foot. It's 263 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: some kind of combination of toe and lower foot problem. 264 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: That again, according to Ian Rappaport, the Bengals official team website, 265 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: though says if Green doesn't play Sunday versus Tennessee, he 266 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: should be ready after the team's by week. Remember, the 267 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: Bengals are also without wide receiver Marvin Jones and hid 268 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: end Tyler Eiffort also a dislocated elbow injuries out. So 269 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: you're looking at Mohammed Sanu. Yeah, this is the guy 270 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: to pick up if A J can't play, and of course, uh, 271 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: the redheaded gun slinger. His value hurts? Does it? Absolutely 272 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: does hurt his value? All right? Still to come. They 273 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: had two good weeks. But are these early season success 274 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: stories the real deal? Are just a mirage? Our experts 275 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: are gonna win. Plus, we're counting down Sunday's biggest stat lines. 276 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: Find out which one of Week two's brightest stars was 277 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: started in just twelve of NFL dot Com leaves. This 278 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: is NFL Fantasy Lot Show. The stadium getting ready for 279 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: the opening kickoff. Here today Kansas City's gotta punch it 280 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: in her hand off up the middle, touchdown shy and 281 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: the fact cand on to Lacy Rogers. Cents to throw, 282 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: He's got the fifty cup to crack hill out Giovanni 283 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: Bernard back in back to throw, throws a little shovel 284 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: pack by Giobanni Bernard. He's got the first down. This 285 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: guy in the open field is a nightmare or not. 286 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: Hand goes flying into the end zone and there's a 287 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: text made Gates up rows that locks in the end zone, 288 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: that's made tough stop one Gustocks. It's your ten guys 289 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: who helped out their fantasy owners big time on Sunday. 290 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Tonio Gates, Doordy Nelson and Jake Cutler, 291 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Let's get into some of these gentlemen and 292 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: uh and see if it's going to continue. And let's 293 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: pickin at him. With Jordy Nelson, he was unstoppable, he 294 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: said a career high in yardage and made some really 295 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: tough catches. Yeah, this was one of the things everybody 296 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: liked to overreact and panic about Jordy Nelson. What happened 297 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: in week one and he's playing the Seahawks. This kind 298 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: of thing happens when you go up a team like that, 299 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: and then going up against the Jets, it was a 300 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: very favorable matchup for him, and this time Aaron Rodgers 301 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: is actually looking at him. So when you get the 302 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: opportunity out there, Jordy Nelson one of the most underrated 303 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: receivers in Fantasy. He's a he's locked and loaded number 304 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: one guy and he love his quarterbacks of each and 305 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: every week. Don't sweat it now, now we're even. He 306 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: had the poor week in week one, he followed it up. 307 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: He's saving my bacon and my league of record. I 308 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: have have an outside chances I was talking about earlier 309 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: in the Show of winning because of Jordy Nelson. Yeah, 310 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: he piled up thirty targets over the last two weeks 311 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: and also has a good matchup this week. Let's move 312 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: on in here at bar to Antonio Gates. He had 313 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: a huge day seven of seven, ninety six yards and 314 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: three touchdowns against the att All. Yeah, this is huge, 315 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: and you know what This was for me. This was 316 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: proof that Antonio Gates still has it. I mean, you 317 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: take this. This is the This is the toughest matchup 318 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna see all season long. And the way he 319 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: utilized and abused the safety and the linebackers was impressive. 320 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: It took me back to two thousand and six when 321 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: I was with Antonio Gates. He still has it. And 322 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: the one on one matchups he used by just using 323 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: simple old basketball shake ab moves to get open, Antonio 324 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: Gates looked impressive. Yeah, no questions anymore? Is who's the 325 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: number one tight end? They're sorry, Ladarius all right. Geo 326 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: had a monster day FABS and has Favrille matchup this 327 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: week against Tennessee, who can't stop the run. You guys 328 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: see the hearts coming out of my head. I love 329 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard. I am on the bandwagon. Thirty two touches 330 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: in this game against a really bad Atlanta Falcons run defense. 331 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: He is a locked in loaded RB one weekend and 332 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: week out. You mentioned he's playing the Titans coming up 333 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: in week three. The Titans just got dashed by DeMarco Murray. 334 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard is the man in Cincinnati and he's an 335 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: RB one right now, guys, just like I mentioned, let's 336 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: move on now to the rest of the top performers. 337 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: Will go eleven through twenty and show you this board 338 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: some other guys who made fantasy owners happy. DeMarco Murry 339 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: there is yeah, Oh boy did he. He showed that 340 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: he's one of the best. Mats healthy, Arian Foster, Alfred Morris, 341 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: Delaney Walker, Cam Newton and his debut, and Randall Club 342 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: and their quarterbacks pretty good as well. They're Aaron Rodgers. 343 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: We showed you earlier with DeMarco fabs yards on the 344 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: ground for the first two weeks. He's been fantastic. And 345 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: this is a guy who is in a contract year. Really, 346 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: if you think about it, he's the centerpiece of the 347 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: offense because the Cowboys want to run the football and 348 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: control the clock because they know their defense. It's a 349 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: little sketchy, even though it's actually played pretty decent over 350 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks of the season. DeMarco is 351 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: drafted in the second round in a lot of leagues. 352 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: If you got him there, it was like stealing. This 353 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: is a guy who was going to continue to thrive 354 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: in this Dallas Cowboys offense. One thing that we forget 355 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: that offensive line is awesome. Awesome. Yeah, he had he 356 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: had some chunk gains there as well. After Alfred Morris 357 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: had himself a day with Kirk Cousins at the Helm 358 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: and this way this week he gets the Eagles underrated. 359 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: Rending Coach Green said it best. He is who I 360 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: thought he was, and he didn't let anybody off the 361 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: he gave him. He gave everybody everything you needed as 362 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: far as fantasy points twenty point by fantasy points in president. 363 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: He's a throwing back type running back. He's so physical, 364 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: especially when he hits the home and I think that 365 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,959 Speaker 1: they're going to continue to rely on Alfred Morris throughout 366 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: the entire season with r G three, without RG three 367 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: as Kirk Cousins. Of course as a quarterback, they're gonna 368 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: be more incentive to give out for Morris to bowl 369 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: Kirks as all right, Jake Locker struggled. We all thought 370 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: he was going to have a huge day, but he 371 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: was able to find de Landy Walker. We did call 372 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: that one for the second consecutive week. He was looking 373 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,239 Speaker 1: at Delandy Walker, which was great, and Delaney Walkers now 374 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: scored a touchdown in back to back games, and I 375 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 1: do want to temper expectations a little bit because great 376 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: game against the Cowboys. You can't deny that fourteen targets, 377 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: a hundred forty two receiving yards as you see right there. 378 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: But now he's got a little bit of a tougher 379 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: matchup going up against the Bengals, who have better linebackers 380 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: than the Cowboys. So it's gonna be a little bit 381 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: tougher for him to get loose. But the Lady Walkers 382 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: started to prove himself to be one of those reliable 383 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: guys low end of the tight end ones and somebody 384 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna look at the matches. Plus, you know what, 385 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: so many guys injured. Jordan reads out. Jordan Cameron's mother 386 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: bothered by injuries, So he's somebody that you can kind 387 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: of trust going forward. Moving on here, Cam Newton had 388 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: a solid start in his debut. That acre could have 389 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: been even better if the Calvin Benjamin didn't drop a couple. Well, 390 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: he talked about that, but I think he still has 391 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: the opportunity to even get better. But nineteen fantasy points 392 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: to come back. He's got the whole rip thing going on. 393 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: His Ankles. Dude doesn't look all that like he's a 394 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: hundred percent. So I think we're gonna continue to see 395 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: more of this. Kelvin Benjamin, he'll get better as the 396 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: season progresses. Jason Avant, he got with it a little bit. 397 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: So look, his opportunity is going to continue to grow 398 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: as far as fantasy points if he's not a dent 399 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: and I'm getting nineteen fantasy points from I can't wait 400 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: to see him when he and the Steelers defense is 401 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: really questionable at this point. So Cam is now back 402 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: to being what he's always been. A must start looking 403 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: like his car is is working. Well, look, you know 404 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't working, but now it's all it's all good 405 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: to go. Sammy Watkins is showing the world Adam why 406 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: the Bills traded up to get him. Yes, Sammy Watkins 407 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: look fantastic on something. There was the guy that we 408 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: saw and Clemson who he figured would come out and perform. Well. 409 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: I do want to preach a little bit of caution 410 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: because now we've seen from the rookie receivers. Cook's Benjamin 411 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: fantastic in week one, did nothing in week two. Sammy 412 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: Watkins kind of an afterthought in week one, and then 413 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: he was dominant week two. So with these work rookie receivers, 414 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: what you want to do is just look when you 415 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: get into the bye weeks, when you're playing matchups and 416 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: things like that, they're not going to be as consistent 417 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: as we want them to be, but they're still capable 418 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: of huge days, as evidence by Sammy on a Sunday alright, 419 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: good stuff, guys. That was Sunday Swagger presented by Old 420 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: Spice and coming up. If you're feeling frustrated after a 421 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: wild Week two, we've got just what the doctor ordered. 422 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: Another rousing addition of that helps. No one is on 423 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: the way. Plus they broke your heart with lackluster fantasy 424 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: performances on Sunday, Can you learn to trust them again? 425 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: Our experts with how you who gets the dreaded? We 426 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,959 Speaker 1: need to talk text when NFL Fantasy Live continues. I've 427 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: never done Welcome everybody. A rough week for fantasy owners, 428 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: and not just because the injury bug bit so many players. 429 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: On Sunday, take a look at a few of this 430 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: week's healthy disappointments here Pierre Garson, you thought once de 431 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: Sean Jackson with Danny get a few looks, but one 432 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: catch twelve yards that's pretty tough. Chris Johnson also underachieved 433 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: a two points there, Larry Fitzgerald still struggling a little bit. 434 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: Five points around at your top ten Fantasy disappointments for 435 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: week two. All right, and we the aforementioned pr Garson 436 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: Adam Rank again. You know, Deshaun goes down, you think, Okay, 437 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: this guy's gonna get a few more targets. Well, he's 438 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: been one of the most consistent receivers in the game, 439 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: not just for the Redskins. So it was a little 440 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: bit of a shock. And I don't know how this 441 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: is gonna play out going forward, because once Kirk Cousins 442 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: came in and took over, he was looking at other options. 443 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,239 Speaker 1: He was looking at Niles Paul, he was looking at 444 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: Drey Roberts, So he was going other places with the football. 445 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if part of it was because of 446 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: the blowout too, and they're able to run the ball 447 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: a little bit more effectively, but this is certainly a 448 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: concern going forward. I would still I would still start him, 449 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: but not just with college that once was fab Talk 450 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: to me about Rob bronkows. Rob Bronkowski is a guy 451 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: that I'm not worried about one bit. He didn't even 452 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: play in fifty percent of the offensive snaps yesterday. The 453 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: bottom line here is that he's still getting healthy and 454 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: he remember, this guy is coming up major knee reconstruction. 455 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: This is sort of how things started for him last year, 456 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: where they've got to build him up and eventually he'll 457 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: be playing more snaps, most of the snaps on offense. 458 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: Don't worry about Robronkowski. He's still in elite tight end 459 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: fantasy football. We will stay in this game. We'll talk 460 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: about Cordolle Patterson. Adam like four catches fifty six yards. 461 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: No Russia is after breaking off like a thousand yard 462 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: ron Right, all right, let's have some real talk here. 463 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: There is no need to pack to panic Cordill Patterson 464 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: because this was an unusual week for the Vikings. Of course, 465 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: with everything that came down with Adrian Peterson had happened 466 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: late in the week when the game plan was already installed, 467 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: so there was a lot of confusion going forward. And 468 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: plus they're going up against the Patriots team that was 469 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: motivated after being embarrassment Week one, so it was kind 470 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: of a perfect storm. So I'm not to concern you know, 471 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: terrible day five point six, not quite what you wanted. 472 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: But there's gonna be more good days for Patterson coming ahead. 473 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: Don't worry about Michael Fabiano. Ten points for Matt Ryan, 474 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: four points for Roddy Why Stephen Jackson five points. Now. 475 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: I warned people about the Falcons on Sunday's edition of 476 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. Great at home on the road, there's 477 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: question marks. Matt Ryan ten touchdown, seventeen turn overs in 478 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: his last seven road games. I talked to you about 479 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: Roddy White. This guy has scored two touchdowns in now 480 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: nineteen career games on the road against a FC. You 481 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,959 Speaker 1: really have to look at that kind of stuff when 482 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: you're dealing with the matchups. How does the guy do 483 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: at home as opposed to being on the road. Drew 484 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: Brees anybody right on the road not so good at home. 485 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: He's a vlominal, and the Falcons are sort of falling 486 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: into that category where if you get him on the road, 487 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: especially against a good defense like Cincinnati, they're not locks 488 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: to put up big numbers. It's funny how they're in 489 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: the same division as well, isn't it. It's right j Baxonville. 490 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: A lot of hopes and dreams rested on Toby Gerhardt. 491 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: They've been dashed. We're not riding him off. It's it's disappointing, 492 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: no doubt. You know, you figured when Toby was going 493 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: to get his opportunity to be the bell Cow running 494 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: back that we were going to see a lot of 495 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: what we saw when he got his opportunities in Minnesota. 496 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: But doesn't surfaced itself yet. So Toby somebody I'm not 497 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: ready to release. He's gonna be a He's gonna be 498 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: a member of my fantasy squads going forward. He's just 499 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: not going to be in the starting lineup. He still 500 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: needs to get healthy. This offense needs to work out 501 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: some cakes. I mean, they've had a lot of injuries 502 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: all over the place. Cecil Schwartz has been hurt. Both 503 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: their rookie receivers have been dinged up. So they really 504 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: need to get back and get healthy. And then you 505 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna do with the quarterback situation. 506 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: How about Reginald Bush. It's tough matchup versus Carolina, but 507 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: certainly I think managers were expecting more than three points 508 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: out of rich Well. Reggie Bush was the guy said 509 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: to say yesterday. I don't know who Reginald Bushes. Who 510 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: is that? But anyways, that Carolina Panthers was a bad 511 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: matchup for Reggie. We talked about it on the show 512 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: on Sunday. One touchdown in seven career games. Now it's 513 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: one down in eight career games. But Reggie is what 514 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: he is a very good PPR option most weeks and 515 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: in standard leagues he's an RB two slash RB three 516 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: moving forward. That's how you should play him. I think 517 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: literally every fantasy expert in every single person in the 518 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: world play this. Apologize We're sorry for that one that 519 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: didn't work out too well. Bitter disappointment. It seemed like 520 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: a great matchup on paper. It's like, you know, it's 521 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: the whole thing of trading for Ken Phelps. Hey that 522 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: our baseball people said he was so good that you know, 523 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: it gets lefties, but you know what, this is one 524 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: of those disciplines. This is why. And I tell you what, 525 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: at least I benched him for Philip Rivers, so it 526 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: worked out perfectly for me. But this is why I 527 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: always say, PA, play your guys, you know, I It's 528 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: it's it's like Montgomery Burns in the Homer at the 529 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: bat One where he benches Darryl Strawberry to put Homer 530 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: up there. And although it worked out, it's still the 531 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: it's the wrong thing to do. Stick with because there's 532 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: nothing worse than watching Philip Rivers out there and put 533 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: up eighty five points and you're like, I outsmarted. I 534 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: know better, So I apologize to everybody that's on me. 535 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: I won't do it again. And I will also say this, 536 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: you know Dallas again, everyone's picking against Dallas. But yet 537 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: at the same time, two weeks in a row held 538 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: quarterbacks to less than their expected point value. So just saying, 539 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: all right, still to come with all the injuries, there 540 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: are tons of names out there on the waiver wire 541 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: that you will definitely make a move on this week. 542 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: But who is the better pick up? Fabriano helps you 543 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: decide coming out. Plus, even the experts get surprised, and 544 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: the always unpredictable fake game Wants shocked us the most 545 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: so far. We're gonna tell you what NFL Fantasy Live 546 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: continues coming up. Who is the better pick up for 547 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: a Week three? The backup to an injured star or 548 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: waiver wire mainstay. We'll compare the alternative, so you make 549 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: the best choice for your squad. And our resident former 550 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: defensive that Akbar Abaz to be a meal breaks down 551 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: the tape to separate fantasy from reality. Find out what 552 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: out Bar season the future for one of the week's 553 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: hottest Waiver Wire targets. Plus, it was another glorious week 554 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: of plays that helped absolutely no one. The newest addition 555 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: to Adam Ranks of Wall of Fame is coming up. 556 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: You don't want to miss that. This is NFL Fantasy 557 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: Live presented by Bose Molly caram here joined by Adam Rankin, 558 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: ak Bar Baja bi Amila, and we have two Sundays 559 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: down four teen to go for fantasy owners, So let's 560 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: play a little game here to help our viewers out 561 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: moving forward, and Adam will start with you. Antonio Gates 562 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: looked great, fantastic. Is this the real deal or is 563 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: a mirage? It's Akbar said, he looked like two thousand 564 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: five Antonio Gates. But I'm gonna say he's a mirage 565 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: going forward, just just for the long term. I feel 566 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: a big part of his production came from the game 567 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: plan of the Chargers. They looked at the legion of 568 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,959 Speaker 1: boom and said, you know what, We're gonna work our 569 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: veteran tight end up the middle and we'll have some 570 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 1: success there. And they were absolutely right, as Antonio Gates 571 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: was able to get loose even when Philip Rivers is 572 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: making great throws too. He has the trust there in 573 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: Antonio eights. I just don't see this as being an 574 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: every week thing. You know, Keenan Allen is gonna be 575 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: back into the mix. He's not gonna be locked up 576 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: with Richard Sherman going forward. So I look for a 577 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: lot of inconsistency coming from Antonio GATESA don't quite rush 578 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: out and Addam to your team right yet. But he's 579 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: been so good. First of I don't want to say 580 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: anything poor about him because he's near and dear to 581 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: my heart. I've won plenty of Fantasy leagues with him, 582 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,719 Speaker 1: so I've got the mad respect. As they would say, 583 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: just as the kids say, if it's going to be 584 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: that type of production again, yeah, I just cannot trust 585 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: that each and every week. All right, Well, curb our enthusiasm. 586 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: They're a bar. Niles Paul did everything we expected out 587 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: of Jordan Reid, who's out with that Hammy real deal rage. 588 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,479 Speaker 1: I believe he's the real deal when you look at 589 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: the situation that they have now with of course, their 590 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: young quarterback Kirk Cousin hasn't had a lot of reps 591 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: in the National Football League, but he's going to depend 592 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: on that tight end position. He's the closest guy. He's 593 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: that comfort that blankets, so to speak, for Kirk Cousins. 594 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: But kirk Cousin is gonna be able to also stretch 595 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: out and get goal deep because that's what's going to 596 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: make that tight end position valuable. He's gonna be able 597 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: to find Pere Garcel, so even more upside there. I 598 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: believe that I want to know the good news. He's 599 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: only owning point seven percent of leagues, so so I 600 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: think you should fail to get it. He is available, Adam. 601 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: Steve Smith is really looking like the number one guy there. 602 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: I mean he leaves the team in receiving yards and 603 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: had the most targets. Another guy who real deal. I 604 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: would say real deal for Steve Smith. I would play 605 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: him going forward. When they brought him into Baltimore, he 606 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: looked like a veteran guy who was going to help 607 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: out the other players on their team. He would be 608 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: a kind of a mentor for Tori Smith. But Joe 609 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: Flacco had different ideas. He saw a guy who knows 610 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: how to run routes, a guy who knows how to 611 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: get open and so he's targeted him a ton this 612 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: season and that's going to continue. Steve Smith is playing 613 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: with something to prove. He's got an anger to him 614 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: that goes out and just makes him a fantastic I 615 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: really liked. So you know what, it's disappointed because Torri Smith, 616 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: I mean, all he seems to be doing is running 617 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: nine routes, not doing much of anything. Steve Smith is 618 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: doing all the heavy work. I trust him, I I 619 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: write him going for I'm right with you, he still 620 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: got it. James Jones seeing the majority of the targets 621 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: in Oakland, but he's got a risky matchup this week 622 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: against the Patriots far real dealer Marange. Well, that's why 623 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: I believe it's a mirage because when you look at 624 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: the matchup the Patriots, they're going to know how to 625 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: confuse the young quarterback in Derek Carr. So Derek Carr 626 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: is gonna have problems because he's gonna see a lot 627 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: of different looks up front. He's gonna see a lot 628 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: of different coverages. They're gonna roll their safeties. They're gonna 629 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: give you that too shell look, and all of a 630 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: sudden it's covered three and then when they're moving and rotating. 631 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: So he still has to get adjusted to the tricky 632 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: way of the New England Patriots defense. James Jones is 633 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: a talent in itself. I know he got fourteen targets 634 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: this past week, but he look big production fifteen points. 635 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: You can't expect him to do that every single week 636 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: for the Oakland Raiders. They're gonna have to move that 637 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: around for Derek Carr, James Jones being Bela tricks and 638 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: Riva silent. All right, now for some waiver wire health, 639 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: let's send it to James co and Michael Fabriano. Guys, 640 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: all right, thank you, Molly. Time for groom your lineup 641 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: presented by Head and Shoulders.

If 647 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: you've got a question for us to go to NFL 648 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: dot com slash genius. This week, we've got a lot 649 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: of people wondering if they should pick up the long 650 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: time backup or if you go with the more traditional sleeper. 651 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: Here's our very first question. Who shot at Kirk Cousins 652 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: or Ryan Tannehill? Absolutely love this question. Both of them 653 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: have a really good matches heading in a Week three. 654 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Kirk Cousins here because I like 655 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: his upside. I think he's a better fit for that 656 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: Redskins offense than r G three was. And I believe 657 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: Jake Gruden even admitted to that he looked good against 658 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: the Jaguars. He's got the Eagles coming up. I like 659 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: Tannehill too, also has a good matchup this week, but 660 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: if we're going a long term I'm going to Kirk Cousins. 661 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: I might say Washington has more weapons on the outside. 662 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: They do well, they do all right. Who should you add? 663 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: Andre Roberts or Marcus Wheaton. I'm going with Marcus Wheaton here, 664 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: a guy who is a second year wide receiver. We 665 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: saw a lot of second year wide receivers breakout last season. 666 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: You have five of them had a thousand yards, and 667 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: the Steeler's wide receiving corps all banged up outside of 668 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, uh, Lance Moore's banged up and Darius Heyward 669 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: Bay as well Darius Hayward Bay. So I'm going with 670 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: Marcus Wheaton in this combination here. Listen. I do think 671 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: there's some upside with Roberts if Deshan Jackson is out 672 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: for a while, but I like Wheaton more day to 673 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: day Deshon Jackson with that shoulder injury. All right, speaking 674 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: of injuries, who should I add again today, Nile Davis 675 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: or Jeremy Hill. Nile Davis absolutely balled out to touchdowns 676 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: in that game against This isn't even a question now 677 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: because we've seen Jamal Charles has a high ankle sprain 678 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: according to his head coach and your Reid, which means 679 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: that's a four to six week injury according to our 680 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: a bar because that is one of those ones that 681 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: if you come back too soon from the lingering and 682 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna flare it up again, you're gonna re aggravate 683 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: this is now Davis. Now, Davis should be the number 684 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: one target player in fantasy football off the waiver wire 685 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: this weekend. He's the real deal guy. This guy looked 686 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: better than Jamal Charles did before Charles got hurt. And 687 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: if you remember last year when he got a chance 688 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: to play, he was pretty impressive. And when you were 689 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: talking about replacing the number one running back in fantasy 690 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: football last year, well here, you're not gonna be able 691 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: to place him, let's put it that way. But now 692 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: Davis is a pretty good secondary option. He could put 693 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: up low end r V one, high end r B 694 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: two numbers as long as Charles is on the sidelines. 695 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: Hashtag upside and I love to get him Kim and 696 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: I absolutely rom ppr leads as well. You know Andy 697 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: Reid loves to throw that ball to RB. That was 698 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: grooming a lot of presented by head and shoulders. Still 699 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: the cuff. If you're singing the running back blues, you've 700 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: got some chicken soup for your soul. I need it. Yes. 701 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: Our tips for dealing with your running game fantasy frustrations. 702 00:33:53,960 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: What NFL Fantasy lot rolls on Tomorrow of Fame nominees 703 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: are revealed, and we'll break down their chances of making 704 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: it to canon as Pro Football Hall of Fame, The 705 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: Contenders airs tomorrow at nine pm Eastern on on NFL Network. Okurt, go, Curt, 706 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: there you go, friend of the show, Friend of the network. 707 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: All right, welcome back. Running Back has always been a 708 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 1: very unpredictable position. In this year, absolutely no different, especially 709 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: after a Week two, which was a very injury riddled week. 710 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: Let's say, look at running backs who through two weeks 711 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: have either gotten injured or have been utterly ineffective. And 712 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: you see the very top of the board there, Jamal Charles, 713 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: Ben Tate, Doug Martin, Oshan Morino, Ryan Matthews, all those guys. 714 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: Dan Depth than Eddie Lacy surprisingly has been pretty unproductive, 715 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 1: Andre Ellington a combination of both. But boy, that is 716 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 1: a very long list of running back. So the question 717 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: is how do you fix this problem? Well, you know, 718 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: for me, it really goes down to looking at that 719 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: waiver wire. You've got to really pay attention to the 720 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: waiver wire. Taking, for example, Ryan Matthews. I mean, if 721 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: you're Ryan Matthews owner, of course your heartest hurt in 722 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: because you're thinking, well, maybe I could have gotten you know, 723 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: some good fantasy production since that offense really got hot. 724 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: So you go out there and look for a guy 725 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: like a Donald Brown. Donald Brown is available out there. 726 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: Last year, he finished within the top twenty five running back, 727 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: so he's a number twenty five last year, and so 728 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: you know that he's going to be able to get 729 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 1: involved in the passing game and in the running game. 730 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 1: There's true productivity from Donald Brown. Waiver wire handcuffs always good, 731 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: but also training is an option something that you've employed 732 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: earlier this season, no doubt about that. You want to 733 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: look for running backs who might be sell buy low candidates, 734 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: and Eddie Lacy fits the bill. Two games he's really 735 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: done very little. And another thing you want to do, James, 736 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: is you want to trade from strength. So if you're 737 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: really good at wide receiver, well trade one of those 738 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: wide receivers. Try to get a guy like Eddie Lacy 739 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: or a running back who was coming off a bad 740 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: game who's still very good, like Rashad Jennings for example. 741 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: Go ahead and do that. And back to Akbar's point. 742 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: This week, going into week three, this is going to 743 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: be the most running backs on the waiver wire who 744 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: could be productive. I think that's gonna be all season long. 745 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: So make sure you're active on that waiver wire for 746 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: running back is know your roster, know who's on your 747 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 1: bench and who you want to drop because you don't 748 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 1: want to make a horrible decision and dropping somebody who's 749 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 1: gonna have value. I do wonder as well if Toby 750 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: Gerhardt could possibly be a bylow candidate right now, not 751 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: to productive, but again, he could be a gamble. He 752 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: could be a gamble. All right. Next week's running back 753 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: fix may very well have been a player that this 754 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 1: week helped no one. And here's Adam Rank with more. 755 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: All right, thanks James. That's right. Each and every week 756 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: we take a look back and those unheard of players 757 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: who robbed precious fantasy points from the guys we actually 758 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: started on Sunday. So, in other words, this is every 759 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 1: single touchdown from Sunday. Daw I'm just kidding. It's a 760 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: tear jerker from some curtain jerkers, a segment we like 761 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: to call that helps no one. And let's go to 762 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: the video we started the Dittrick got Columbia a new administration. 763 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: It's a new deal. Nope, the same thing over and 764 00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:00,040 Speaker 1: over again, Darrell Young, they're robbing. Thank you, Yes, I 765 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: did get his name right, and I also got it 766 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: right that he also robbed Press's fantasy points. We need 767 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: some change. We can believe him because the lands drew 768 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: Stanton Fitzgerald in the end zone. He is just short, 769 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: but they're gonna do the right thing right, give it 770 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 1: back to him. No, Jonathan, where is Larry Fitzgerald? Sr 771 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,800 Speaker 1: Get him? He is taking points from us. Now that 772 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 1: would become a personal at you. And guess what I'm 773 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 1: gonna call it out because back to d C, my 774 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: guys from DUV Chad Henny there he goes Alan Hurt though, 775 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: markis Lee, No, Allan Robinson, No, Marcedes Lewis, No, no, No. 776 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: There's one guy, Jacksonville.

Or as 834 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: a former player, what's something that you saw over the 835 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 1: weekend that we might have missed? Well, you know, one 836 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: thing I looked at. I looked at Colin kaepern and 837 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, of course had a rough game last night 838 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: against the Chicago Bears, and we saw the interceptions and 839 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 1: three interceptions, But there was something encouraging to me that 840 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: I really looked at when I watched, of course, Colin Kaepernick. 841 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: I want you to take a look at this play here. 842 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,760 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick used a little play action, but his ability 843 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: to stay in the pocket. We know Colin Kaepernick could 844 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 1: have easily taken this for an eight yard run. We 845 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 1: know his athleticism, but his ability to stay in the 846 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 1: pocket and actually find his receiver and get a twenty 847 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: four yard play from from Michael Cratcher. You know, when 848 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: you think about the quarterback position, you've got to be 849 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: able to die, be a dual threat. When he sees pressure, 850 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: he knows he can run, but he stays in there. 851 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,399 Speaker 1: Go back to Week one. You know you watch his eyes. 852 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,399 Speaker 1: Look at his eyes. His eyes are actually moving down 853 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: the field. This is a new thing that we're seeing 854 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 1: from Colin Kaepernick, moving down towards your fantasy value. He's 855 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: gonna get you more points last weekend. In the Week one, 856 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: we saw him use the play action again. Here he 857 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: has the ability to take off and run, but instead 858 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: he not only steps into the pocket, he actually takes 859 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,240 Speaker 1: a hit, saying, you know what, I'm willing and committed 860 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 1: to staying into this, into this development. And when you 861 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: watch Colin Kaepernick, we see the homes open up for him, 862 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: and that's how he normally sees what. He's using his 863 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: eyes to survey the field. He says, I'm going to 864 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,879 Speaker 1: step up in this pocket and I'm gonna sit there 865 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: and make the throat. He finds an Kombolden for an 866 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,320 Speaker 1: explosive play that adds on to his total fattis fantasy value. 867 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 1: And that's where I can see Colin Kaepernick being a 868 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: quarterback that you can trust weekend and week out. Colin 869 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 1: Kaepernick is developing, and I think it's all gonna click 870 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,359 Speaker 1: for him once he trusts the system and what Jim 871 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 1: Harbor has staying in the pocket and keeps him healthy. 872 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 1: Another reason it's helping. It keeps him healthy. If your 873 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: owners of Michael Crabtree, Vernon Davis you're impressed with it, Yeah, 874 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 1: and more upside for them as well. Good stuff. Thank you, 875 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,240 Speaker 1: some things to keep your eye out as the season 876 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 1: goes on, guys, And now we'll send it over the 877 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,280 Speaker 1: field where James co and the crew are standing by, gentlemen. 878 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: All right, thank you so much. Two weeks into the season, guys, 879 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: what's been the biggest surprise so far? Faster? Start with you, 880 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: Drew Brees. Where's he been? Really? He's average and fewer 881 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 1: than fifteen sixteen Fantasy points a game in his two games. 882 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: There are twenty one players that were fantasy points right now. 883 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: Drew Brees and Josh McCown is one of them, and 884 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is another one. But things are gonna get 885 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 1: much better for him. He's playing at home this week, 886 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: and he's gonna explode against the Vikings Adam Nancy. The 887 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: other position, it's the running backs because we've kind of 888 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 1: devalued them a little bit. If you look at the 889 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: first round, now it's not automatically ten solid running backs, 890 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 1: but even that number is now dropping significantly. I don't 891 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: know if there's anybody. There's a handful of guys barely 892 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 1: that you can trust, but it's gonna be a lot 893 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 1: of you guys talked about earlier in the show. A 894 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: lot of waiver wire guys were picking up this week, 895 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: guys like Kyrie Robinson that we're gonna be throwing into 896 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 1: our linements. I mean, if you think about Jamal Charnles, 897 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: a guy who led the entire running back corps. Now 898 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 1: he had a disappoint in Week one, at disappoint week two, 899 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 1: we don't know if we can trust him moving forward. 900 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,879 Speaker 1: My big surprise, the old man have aout. Antonio Gates. 901 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: He says, I don't care about no Ladarius. I don't 902 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 1: even know who Ladarius Green is. He doesn't recognize Ladarius Green. 903 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: And he doesn't care about your fantasy team either, which 904 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: I absolutely love. But now he's been absolutely great to 905 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,800 Speaker 1: see him. He's the second highest scoring tight end in 906 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,359 Speaker 1: the game right now, just behind Julius Thomas. I mean, 907 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: come on, so high, get somebody to be like, somebody 908 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,240 Speaker 1: to trade for him. There you go, all right. Tomorrow, 909 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: we're back with a complete Monday night recap and an 910 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 1: early look at our waiver wire favorites.
