00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,520

00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: get into all of that, go behind the glass and

00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: Monday crew back. Last week was a star studded week

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: with Drew Jerry Cantrell here, but like, thanks for leaving

32
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: my name off of that list. You're always here. I

33
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: am not a star. You're part of that. Well. The guests,

34
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: the star guests. That was fun. It was a lot

35
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: of fun weeks. Probably still not as much fun as

36
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: Marcus had though, I know, so like tell us about

37
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: like I mean, I think we're all just your best

38
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: friend decides to get married ship Well it wasn't. Admittedly

39
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was his decision. His wife loves cruises.

40
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: His wife and her family they love cruises. They've been

41
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: on a million of them. Apparently. Congratulations by the way, Yeah,

42
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: congratulations be um Yeah, so they just had to get

43
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: buried on a boat, which, right, the wedding actually took place.

44
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: We were still sitting in Long Beach Harbor when the

45
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: actual wedding half and then we sailed out to see Um.

46
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: I would say, the one thing that confused me, the

47
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: one thing that I wish I had paid attention to,

48
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: but I was too busy, you know, throwing back miller lights. Um.

49
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: So the boat leaves Long Beach, left Long Beach at

50
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: like six thirty in the evening on Sunday, and there

51
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: our first stop was at Catalina Island. Now, for those

52
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: of you who don't live in the l A area,

53
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: for those of you who do and have never been

54
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: to Catalina, the ferry boat ride from Long Beach to

55
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: Catalina takes like forty five minutes, right, forty five minutes

56
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: an hour maybe if things are running a little bit weird. Um.

57
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, we left Long Beach Harbor at six

58
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: thirty at night and didn't get to Catalina until seven

59
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. So I want to know what

60
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: we did for those twelve hours. And remember I wasn't looking,

61
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: I was inside, I was on the boat. I wasn't

62
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: like paying attention, you know what, two miles per hour.

63
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: I guess. I don't know. If we just somebody like

64
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: rode the actual cruise ship to to Catalina. I have

65
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: no idea, but for whatever reason, it took us like

66
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: twelve hours to get to to Catalina. But man, that's

67
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: mean you're engaged. I mean, I mean, I'm just trying

68
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: to think of my fiance trying to get married, and

69
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: that would not go well if you get sick and

70
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: half a second. The last time I was on a boat,

71
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: it was a whale watch in San Diego, and I

72
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: spent the entire trip throwing up. So I paid like

73
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: whatever it was for myself and my girlfriend. I paid

74
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: to throw up for three I didn't get the little

75
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: patch that goes behind because I had gone on one

76
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: in Marina del Rey like a month earlier, and I

77
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: was fine, it's on thinking I'm I'm good. No, I

78
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: did want to have a taprible boat ride to Catalina.

79
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: It was one of the worst forty five minutes I've

80
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: ever had in my life. So even that boat ride

81
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: made you because the well, the whale watch like you're

82
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: bouncing around sometimes when the oceans are a little rough.

83
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: I went on a day. This isn't college. I went

84
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: on a day where it was particularly windy and the

85
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: surf was really really choppy, and we took we didn't

86
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: take a regular ferry boat. It was like some fishing,

87
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: like the S S Minnow. Basically, we took over to Catalina.

88
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: It was like off. It was me, a couple of

89
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: friends from college, and then we were on a with

90
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: like twenty five high school students for some oceanography class

91
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: or whatever, and like everybody act, including the teacher from

92
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: the high school. I just like at um. I was

93
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: the only one. I was one of the few who

94
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: didn't because I learned pro tip. If you're owing a

95
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: boat and you feel seasick, stare at a fixed point.

96
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: I spent an hour staring dead at Catalan Island. I

97
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: didn't look to the right when I was on my boat.

98
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: I was looking at a fixed object. There was the toilet,

99
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: and I stopped growing up. You gotta look at the

100
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: horizon line, that's right. You gotta look at the horizon

101
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: on the horizon. I was afraid, so I stared. I

102
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: stared at Catalina for for an hour. It was it

103
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: was miserable. Alright, plenty of boat talk. Uh not expect this,

104
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: did not expect boat talk on my return. Anyway, Let's

105
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: do some news, all right. We will start with some

106
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: awful news in Washington. Alex Smith suffered a broken leg

107
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: in the team's loss on Sunday. Uh, certainly is done

108
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: for the season, and you know, you start to wonder

109
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: whether or not this is the last time we've seen

110
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: Alex Smith play NFL football after it has been a

111
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: long and resident a successful career for a guy who

112
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: was once upon a time the number one overall pick. Obviously,

113
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: this year has not been a great year for Alex

114
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: Smith from a fantasy perspective, but you saw on Twitter

115
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: plenty of people sending out well wishes all across the

116
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: league and just giving their tributes and their love to

117
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: Alex Smith. But for our purposes now and means Colton

118
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: McCoy is the starting quarterback in Washington. The team went

119
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: out and signed Mark Sanchez to a deal to make

120
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: him the backup. So Mark Sanchez is back in the league, which,

121
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: by the way, that means there are there are literally

122
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: five USC quarterbacks in the league. Don't ask me how,

123
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: but Matt Barkley, Matt Castle, Mark Sanchez, Cody Kessler, Sam

124
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: Donald are all collecting NFL paychecks right now. Whatever, Uh,

125
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: the copcoy is back, would you either of you spend

126
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: a roster spot or a waiver wire claim on Colt McCoy.

127
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: Here's the as as the resident Cowboys fan, it will

128
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: be such a Cowboys thing to do. After winning two

129
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: straight games against teams you were not supposed to beat,

130
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: to go home on Thanksgiving against the Redskins and loose

131
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: to Colton McCoy, it would be the most Cowboys thing

132
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: to do. Am I picking Colt McCoy up? I mean no,

133
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: But if he has a big game, I wouldn't be surprised,

134
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,119
Speaker 1: just because I've suffered through a lot of these Cowboys games.

135
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: So um. The thing is, you know, in Graham, I

136
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: know you'll agree. The quarterback position is so deep. And

137
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: if there's a quarterback that I'm targeting off the waiver

138
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: wire right now, it's the dude in Baltimore, although he

139
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: should be picked up already if you're in a competitive league,

140
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: but that's the guy you go after. It's kind of

141
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: blowing my mind that Dallas could win this division. Actually,

142
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: they're probably the favorite. It might be were Now, stop,

143
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: don't put that out there. I mean, we were talking

144
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: two weeks ago about how the Cowboys were dead and

145
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: now they're five and five, five and five, one game

146
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: back from Washington. Washington's falling apart. We have to we

147
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: have to win this one because then we played the

148
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: Saints and they're gonna they're gonna destroy us. So yeah, yeah,

149
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: it's kind a while, so who knows. But so Colt

150
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: McCoy is there. I guess the other big question though,

151
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: because you're right, the quarterback position is deep so that

152
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: there's not gonna be a lot of people battling to

153
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: go get Colton McCoy. What does this mean for Adrian

154
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: Peterson now because the offensive line is beat up. Uh,

155
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: they've got a backup quarterback now starting. He's kind of

156
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: been the one thing that's been moving this offense for them. Now.

157
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: I think you gotta be a little bit concerned about him. Yeah.

158
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: I was concerned about him this week and he was

159
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: a sad him for me for three straight weeks. The

160
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: first two weeks worked out well, this last week a

161
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: lot of touchdowns, but yeah, just fifty one yards on

162
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: sixteen tay. I mean that's what he is at this point. Yeah,

163
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean he's basically just you're you're gonna

164
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: get spiked weeks when Washington wins, and unfortunately the rest

165
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: of their schedule they played Dallas, Philly and the Giants

166
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: all three Indivision in the next three weeks. Yeah, and

167
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: you gotta think too, like the Redskins, they're down there

168
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: their number one quarterback. You know, they've already Richardson's already

169
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: out for the season. They've lost three offensive line right

170
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: when it was the last time Jamison Crowder was on

171
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: the gridiron, it's been a while. I forgot about him.

172
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: And how about Chris Thompson. I mean, these guys like

173
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: I forgotten. Their offense is so riddled with injuries and

174
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Ridge is the only Garris stayed healthy. Go figure, Hey,

175
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: I funny did something on Sunday. I know who would

176
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: have thought? And now everyone's going to start him against Dallas. Uh.

177
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: Carrie on Jensen left the game on Sunday with a

178
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: knee injury. The good news for the Lions and for

179
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: Johnson it is not an a C L tare, which

180
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: was the initial fear. Uh. Instead, it looks like it's

181
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: going to be a spring knee. He is considered weak,

182
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: too weak, So that's something to keep an eye on. Uh.

183
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: Theo Riddick did not do much of anything. We thought

184
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: maybe he would have a game last week that didn't happen.

185
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: But Garrett Blunt is likely to see a whole lot

186
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: of opportunity here. Do either of you want to take

187
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: a chance rolling that Roulette routt wheel on la Garrett

188
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: Blunt right now? No, I mean there's a there's a

189
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: specific play yesterday where they ran a pitch to the left.

190
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean it was blocked perfectly, and Garrett Blunt looked

191
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: like he was moving in quick sam like he just

192
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: can't move latterly anymore. And I mean at this point,

193
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really just theoretic Kenny g and you

194
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: kind of roll roll with your punches, with the lines,

195
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, the knee issue for Johnson is concerning,

196
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: especially since it's a week to week variety at this

197
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: point of the year. I mean, we're we're getting into

198
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: the it's real close, and these week to week kne

199
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: injuries for running backs, knees and handys are just they're

200
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: no good. Yeah, And but he was he was rolling too.

201
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: He looked good and unfortunately now you're gonna lose him

202
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: for the uh for the foreseeable future. I think Blunt's

203
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: worth picking up off the waiver wire, depending on what

204
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: your needs are. Uh. Some of us have Alex Collins,

205
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about him a little bit ron But um,

206
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: la Garrett Blunt. At least he's going to see some volume.

207
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: If they get down here the goal line, he'll get

208
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: the ball. But it is, it is an absolute dart throw.

209
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: La Garrett Blunt's last twenty one carries of gain sixteen yards.

210
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: It's not good. I mean, if you, like I said,

211
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: desperation dart throw, I guess the only thing we have

212
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: to say this here would be a short time. So

213
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: that would that would be good. So next up for

214
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: the Lions they host the Bears. Um that is on Thanksgiving. Um,

215
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: and the Bears literally just they bottled up. I'd say,

216
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: bottle up, Dalvin Cook. That's an understatement for what they did.

217
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: They suffocated, They suffocated everybody there. So there's that. The

218
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: next two games Rams and Cardinals, which in theory are

219
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: decent matchups for the running game. The other concern, i'd say,

220
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: with carry on Johnson is that right now? The Lions

221
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: are four and six. Uh, they are quickly falling out

222
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: of the playoff race. They're they're last in the division,

223
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: in the NFC North, and you wonder if this thing

224
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: lingers too long and they fall out of playoff contention,

225
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: what's their rush to bring him back? That's my concern too,

226
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: And I mean, the Lions have lost three of the

227
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: last four. Frankly, they probably should have lost against Carolina

228
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: last night. Cam at a wide open receiver on that

229
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: two point conversion. He didn't run it. To me, he

230
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: had one on one cover as she was open, and

231
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: he also could have scrambled. It was just kind of

232
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: a bizarre two point conversion. What's crazy is that the

233
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: Lions have beaten the Packers, the Panthers, and the Patriots

234
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: this season and their team is bad. Apparently they can

235
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: beat teams that begin with P. Yes, but exactly, I

236
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: think they're out of those now. I don't think. I

237
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: don't think there ain't left uh in the league at

238
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: this point. Uh So, the Bucks have made yet another change.

239
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: I told you they made a change yesterday at quarterback

240
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: the bench, Ryan Fitzpatrick for Jamis Winston after fits through

241
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: three picks, not that Jamis was. I mean he he

242
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: had better numbers, but he came in. He also threw

243
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: a pick because that's what Jamis Winston does. So here

244
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: we go. We're into your heading. In the week twelve,

245
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers have rotated quarterbacks, They've rotated play callers. Do

246
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: we even bother with the Bucks quarterback? Now? I mean

247
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: the matchups be damn do we even bother? This is

248
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: what I said last week when j C was in studio,

249
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: and dude, you like, Fitzpatrick was always one or two

250
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: picks or in this case, I think three away from

251
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: being yanked. And then people on Twitter the injury twenty

252
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: million guarantee they're not gonna put Winston in. Come on, dude,

253
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: their cutter doesn't want to lose his job. He's gonna

254
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: losen and it his quarterback is throwing three picks in

255
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: the first half. I mean, dude, you have to pull him.

256
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: The thing is, which didn't Fitzpatrick or the same quarterback

257
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: except for one guy's younger and the other dude's older

258
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: and has a big bushy beard. They're the same, dude.

259
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: They can throw it for a lot of yards, but

260
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: they're always a risk to give you a three or

261
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: four turnovers. Yeah, and so, but it's ridiculous. Mike Clay

262
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: from ESPN, one of my pals, he treated something out

263
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: today where the combination of the Buccaneers quarterbacks this season

264
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: has actually scored more fantasy points that Drew Brees. Is

265
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: that insane? They've don't They've combined a third twenty three

266
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: picks and their third among all quarterbacks behind the Homes

267
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: and just maybe maybe Mike Clazys in a different scoring

268
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: system and they're right behind Breeze. Insane. Yeah, unreal. I'm

269
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: gonna go back to Winston. And here's why. I mean,

270
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: I like passing yards and I like passing touchdowns. And

271
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: they have the Niners this week and exactly the forty

272
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: nine is have allowed to twenty one to two touchdown

273
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: interception ratio. Winston's under center. You kind of just have

274
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: to click the button, put him in your lineup, and

275
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: just hope he doesn't get benched. Because the ceiling is

276
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: so large with this offense. Yeah, I mean, the ceiling

277
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: is really large with this offense. I mean, and it's

278
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: just so frustrating because every week we go through this

279
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: like Merry Go Round and well, something ever, seemingly gets

280
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: resolved like a freaking basis, Jamis is that you really

281
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: just you just have to just pencil in at least

282
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: one pick, right like that, that you just have to

283
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: go in expecting you're going to get at least a

284
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: minus two. Somewhere. I'm looking at this year like, oh

285
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: my goodness, I'm looking at the numbers. He has eleven

286
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: eleven interceptions and eight touchdowns. It makes my head hurt. Um,

287
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: So that's just life with Jamis Winston and and you know,

288
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: good luck. I guess. The good news is, though, even

289
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: through all that, yesterday, Mike Evans still found a way

290
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: to have a good game. Um, Peyton Barber had a

291
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: sneaky good game too as well. Yeah really really, I

292
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: don't know, I tweeted the Peyton Barber is like that

293
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: extra slice of pie, Like it looks good. You look

294
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: at it and you're like this sucks interesting, and then

295
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: you get it and you're like, oh, I just feel ill.

296
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: And that's that's sort of how that works. Uh. Speaking

297
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks, Marcus Mariotta injured his elbow during the items

298
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: loss to the Colts. The good news is, apparently it's

299
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: just a stinger not expected to be serious. So hopefully,

300
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: uh this means we don't have to speak the name

301
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: of Blaine Gabbert out loud because nobody wants that. We're

302
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: gonna see that picky through I mean he did, he

303
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: didn't even see the underneath. I mean he was the

304
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: linebacker is clearly right in front of his films. He

305
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: ran a great route. His credit the target when you

306
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: do that. So uh so, hopefully we don't have to

307
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: worry about Blaine Gabbert. Hopefully Mariotta is able to come back.

308
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: The other concern is that it's it's not serious, hopefully

309
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: because the last time they ran Mariotta out when he

310
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: was less than we saw a string of really bad performances.

311
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: So we'll keep an eye on that one as it

312
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: goes along. All Right, that's pretty much everything you need

313
00:14:49,560 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: to know, alright. Looking back at what was week eleven,

314
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: I came up with four questions things that caught my

315
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: eye that it felt like worth discussing for today. The

316
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: first one, obviously, and you sort of mentioned that fab

317
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: talking about quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson, I mean, that was the

318
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: that was the Marquis event of Sunday, uh not not

319
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: considering well, considering the Eagles and Saints turned out to

320
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: be a flop. The Marquis event of Sunday was a

321
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: Mark Jackson making his debut as a starter, and I

322
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: don't know, putting up some okay members, he had over

323
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: a hundred yards rushing. Uh what carries up carries the

324
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: second most carries by a quarterback in the history of

325
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. It was nineteen fifty some guy named Joe Gary.

326
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,239
Speaker 1: You know Joe Gary, who was a running back slash quarterback.

327
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: You know you don't remember Joe for the I believe

328
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, probably the Wish Boners, right, exactly right. He

329
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: probably three ball like seven times all year. So um

330
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, so a hundred and seventeen rushing yards. He

331
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: threw four one hundred and fifty yards um at the pick,

332
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: which which kept him he was under sixteen. He would

333
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: have had a little bit more had you not thrown

334
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: about about eighteen or so without the interception. Um, Graham thoughts.

335
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean, from one hand, the rushing is super exciting,

336
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: but you can't count on a hundred and seventeen yards

337
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: every week. Yeah, but then they play Oakland next. I mean,

338
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: in theory Oakland will try to commit a spy in

339
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: the middle of the field to keep Lamar Jackson at

340
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: least contained in the pocket, but I mean, it's still

341
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: the slowest defense in the NFL. I'm fine with going

342
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: back to Jackson as a QB two streamer next year.

343
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: Stats built some great date on his first star. Jackson

344
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: actually reached fifteen plus miles per hour on fourteen of

345
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: his rush attempts last week. No other players hit fifteen

346
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: plus miles per hour on more than nine of his

347
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: rush attempts in his single game this year. Jackson is

348
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: just I mean, he's a week dude. He's awesome. I'm

349
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: kind of still blown away. The Ravens ran the ball

350
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: seventy percent of so much in the modern NFL, we

351
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: just don't see offenses like this um but the same token.

352
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the Raiders are next. He gets the Falcons

353
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: in their front seven that's incredibly banged up. In Week thirteen,

354
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: I think Jackson's I mean, he he'll be the hashtag

355
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: Konami code. Shoutout to Richarie Bar of Rhoda World and

356
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: you just kind of bank your your QB two Russian number.

357
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: What's crazy is that the Ravens had actually averaged forty

358
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: four past attempts a game just complete this week, and

359
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: they completely switch their off and Lar Jackson and or

360
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: you couldn't get more opposite. I think at the quarterbacks

361
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: are Jackson so then? Because of that? Right, because obviously

362
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: this looks like it's going to be a more run

363
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: heavy offense now with Lamar Jackson there, what are we

364
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: what are we doing with you know, the John Brown's

365
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: and the Michael Crabtree. I mean John Brown had one target,

366
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: one catch for twenty three yards. I think they gave

367
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: him like Harry which went for zero yards. I mean,

368
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: like suddenly, guy, I mean John brownsman, a guy who's

369
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: been a big help but a lot of rosters for

370
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: much of the season. Now all of a sudden, like

371
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: his his value seems to have evaporated, like overnight. Yeah.

372
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: And Crabs sure, I mean that guy, he was just

373
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: sitting for me last week. I wouldn't I wouldn't be

374
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: touching him. Um. But it all depends on what kind

375
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: of depth you have at wide receiver. If you're lucky

376
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: enough to grab a trad Kwon Smith for example, maybe

377
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: and Anthony Miller, then it's gonna be time to put

378
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: John Brown on the bench, because if this is the

379
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: Ravens offense that we're going to see from here on end,

380
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,239
Speaker 1: you are not going to see much passing efficiency, you're

381
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: not going to see much passing production, and you're not

382
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: going to see much fantasy value in any pass catcher

383
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: in a Baltimore uniform. The only the only saving grace

384
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: could potentially be if they get a red zone opportunity,

385
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: because the yardage is not going to be there in

386
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: this offense the way that we saw it run yesterday.

387
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: I mean, so we saw that the targets when they

388
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,239
Speaker 1: were there, which you know they didn't throw the ball

389
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: eights ton Uh, so Willie sneed get the eight targets

390
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,959
Speaker 1: Ford targets for Nick Boyle. So I guess if you're

391
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: looking for a Baltimore pass catcher, that's what you're looking for.

392
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: You're looking for those guys who are kind of running

393
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: those intermediate routes right now. And John Brown is a

394
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: downfield threat, just doesn't seem to be in the car

395
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: and they yeah, they condensed this pass offense. A lot

396
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: of it was just over the middle reeds where Jackson

397
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: could clearly isolate um one on one defenders. So yeah,

398
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean I don't foresee them taking many like deep

399
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: play action shots shots to John Brown, this isn't gonna

400
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: be a Michael Crabtree eight you know, eight nine target offense.

401
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: They're going to run the hell out of the ball.

402
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: And that's where Lamar Jackson has to improve because what

403
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: were the comparisons coming out of college, Mike Vick, right,

404
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: Mike Vick, cannon arm and that guy would throw the

405
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: football deep. You know, you remember the great plays that

406
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: he made with DeShawn Jackson back in their time together

407
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: in Philadelfie. I do wonder if they're going to open

408
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: it up a little bit because Lamar can spend it

409
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: deep a little bit. Can he did it Louisville? Yeah? Um, yeah,

410
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: I think I think right now, I just don't know

411
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: that they have a g level of trust in him

412
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: to get the ball downfield. But I don't. I don't

413
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: think it's about ability. I think it's just about their

414
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: confidence in him being able to do that. But okay,

415
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: so since they are running the football more so that

416
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: brings me to my next question, is Alex Collins drop

417
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: a ball? So it's definitely I think he's definitely bench

418
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: fodder at this point. But yesterday, so going into the week,

419
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: I you know, look ahead to the schedules and the

420
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: Ravens running backs have like one of the easiest schedules

421
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. So I'm thinking, you know,

422
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put in a couple of trade offers to

423
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: get Alex Collins. And I landed him in two leagues

424
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: and he wasn't like the gem of the deals, but um,

425
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: but I did get him in a couple of leagues.

426
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: And then I'm watching the game and this guy, Gus

427
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: Edwards starts playing Who the heck is Gus Edwards? Have

428
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: you guys ever heard of him? Before? I had heard him, unfortunately,

429
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: had heard. I had seen Ravens fans and beat writers

430
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: kind of tweet about him. And there I had, like

431
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: I think at a Tin Care game earlier in the year,

432
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: and kind of a garbage either fourteen or sixteen touches.

433
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: The entire secy was a lot of us coming in

434
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: garbage time or going into the week, so they also

435
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: had time Montgomery active. You've got Buck Allen in the

436
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: mix there, Alex Collins is still there, and now you're

437
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: looking at Gus Edwards, who was an undrafted rookie out

438
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: of Rutgers. Um. I think he signed like for six

439
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and then ended up getting cut, then was

440
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, then end up making the big

441
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: club and he's gonna end up being one of the

442
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: two or three biggest pickups in fantasy football. And we

443
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: mentioned that they're playing the Raiders, so the matchup is there.

444
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: But is Gus Edwards all of a sudden featured back

445
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. Well, I mean, what we saw yesterday

446
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: the same to indicate that that was the direction that

447
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: But and what what the John Harball had to say

448
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: after the game where he basically praised the running style

449
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: of Gus Edwards sort of the thing that we're looking for. Uh,

450
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: it just you know, it just seemed to be a

451
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: subtweet at Alex Collins and kind of what he was doing.

452
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: Is Gus Edwards the version of Alex Collins. I mean,

453
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: like Alex Collins was a league winner in the second

454
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: half of last season, and all of the sudden Gus

455
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: Edwards is. I mean, I do wonder if Baltimore is

456
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: just getting frustrated with with with Alex Collins's production, because

457
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: this year, I mean, Collins's yards per carry averages down

458
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: a full yard last year average four point six yards

459
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: per carry. This year it's all the way down at

460
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: three point six. His success rate is near the bottom

461
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: of the league. He's at um you know. I just

462
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: I think they've maybe grown frustrated with his overall efficiency,

463
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: and that's why they went with a hot hand situation

464
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: against the bank. And also keep in mind, I mean

465
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: he was the Seahawks basically threw them away. I mean,

466
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: so I also feel like, you know, so, you know

467
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: how you watch a movie that you watch the sixth Cents, right,

468
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: and the first time we saw the sixth Cents, we're

469
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: all shocked by the ending. I mean, you go back

470
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: and you watch it again. You're like, there's so many

471
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,239
Speaker 1: little clues here right there, Like how did I not

472
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: see this? Looking back now at what's happened? Like through

473
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 1: all these weeks that we kept seeing all this buck Allen, right,

474
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: We're like, why are they running buck Allen? Why is

475
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: he getting all these such is? We're like, this is nuts, right,

476
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: But maybe that was you know, John Harball sort of

477
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: planting the seed of look, we want to find somebody

478
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: because we don't want to lean on Alex Collins and

479
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: right now, if they believe Gus Edwards is that guy,

480
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: then suddenly it's easier to kind of fade Collins on

481
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: a weekly basis. So maybe this was already, Maybe this

482
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: was always in the works and we just we just

483
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: didn't want to believe it. I'm just so I'm just

484
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: so bummed out about this because I really thought I

485
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: was going to be in good shape with Collins. I

486
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: think a lot of people to do because you look

487
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: at the schedule and you're like, oh man, this lines

488
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: up perfectly for Collins to be a guy that you

489
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: can lean on as an RB two reflex down the stretch.

490
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: And now, I mean, you know, when I do my

491
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: rankings for this week, who's my number one running back

492
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: going to be? Well in Baltimore, It's gonna be probably

493
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Gus Edwards. You know, it's crazy freaking

494
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: Edwards is Alex Collins has a hundred fourteen carries this year.

495
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: Three of those have gone for fifteen more yards. Gus Edwards,

496
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: I believe now has like what twenty eight on the year,

497
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: and he has also has three carricters four years. I mean,

498
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: Alex Collins has just been inefficient this year, and I

499
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: think I think that's the biggest thing here is Baltimore

500
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: is looking for some symblets of foundation within the rushing offense,

501
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: and it will especially be so with Lamar Jackson if

502
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: they continue to go to run ahead. I think what

503
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: was so hard about it was no one saw it coming. Yeah,

504
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: I know one saw it coming. I mean he's is

505
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: he usurped both Buck Allen and Alex Colln's in the

506
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: same game, in the same game. Yeah, And I think

507
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: this one, at least this hurts me personally because Alex

508
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: Collins was that guy that in August for me was

509
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: gonna be like he was my sneaky fifth or sixth

510
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: round pick. You know, he was gonna be my r

511
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: B two. He's gonna be that guy that, like, you know,

512
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: I got my my my top line RB in the

513
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: first round, is gonna wait a couple and then get

514
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: Alex Collins and be set to go. And that just

515
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: never quite panned out. Okay, getting away from Baltimore, though,

516
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: who would you rather have as we sit here right now,

517
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: DJ Moore or Devin Funcious after yesterday? I mean after

518
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: you obviously, but like but even just looking back over

519
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: the last month, I know, Funcious has disappeared. He's disappeared.

520
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: He had he had those two back to back eighteen

521
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: point games, and then since then, I believe he's had

522
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: one respectable stat line. Yeah, and the last the last

523
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: three he's played the buck Steelers and Lions, and he

524
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: has an eclipse more than yards and and my my

525
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: answer to that would be who has the higher sailing

526
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: and DJ Moore I would say it's Dj Moore. I mean,

527
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: obviously yesterday certainly goes that way. But just looking at

528
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: what the Panthers have done offensively recently, right, they seem

529
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: to be there of the of the mindset of using

530
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: kind of these more dynamic guys. I mean, Christian McCaffrey

531
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: obviously is the centerpiece there, but we're seeing more Curtis Samuel,

532
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: seeing DJ more kind of these guys who can do

533
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: multiple things. And it just makes me feel like Devin Funchius, Well,

534
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: here's the Devin Funchis was drafted to sort of beat

535
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin two point oh back when they thought that

536
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin could be a thing. And now that you

537
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: know they've had they have no need for Kelvin Benjamin.

538
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: They moved him out. Devin Funchis is still Kelvin Benjamin

539
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: two point oh. But that's no longer a compliment in

540
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: the context of this office. And it would be great

541
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: to be able to figure this out too, because the

542
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: schedule is just it's so good. You've got Seattle, who

543
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: is not Seattle anymore. Then you're at Tampa, at Cleveland

544
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: Saints Falcons. It doesn't get much better. And that was

545
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: why for weeks I had been advocating, Hey, trade for

546
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: Devin funch just go get him, because the schedules seemed

547
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: to work out great. There was that stretch in the

548
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: middle of the year where it looked like they were

549
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: using him. It's all gone away now, yeah. I mean,

550
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: they're just spreading the ball around too much. I mean,

551
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel just saw a season high seven targets only

552
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: wearing eleven roots last week. I mean, they're just spreading

553
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: the ball around. We know Christian McCaffrey is gonna get

554
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: his touches, we know Greg Olson is going to see

555
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: his red zone looks. But outside of that, they're scheming

556
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: targets to a bunch of different players, and Funchis is

557
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: kind of stealing as evaporator over the last month. I mean,

558
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: it's a dart throw. Who is it going to be?

559
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: Is it going to be Curtis this week? Is it

560
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: going to be Funch just this week? Is it going

561
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: to be more this week? Yeah, it's just I mean,

562
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: it's made the Panther's offense a lot more fun, it's

563
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: a lot more efficient, and Cam has been a better

564
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: player for it. I mean, Cam is having one of

565
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: his best seasons ever, maybe his second best season ever

566
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: behind exact VP season. So it's great from that since

567
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: but to pick a Panther's pass catcher each week outside

568
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: of oh my god, like ten times fast, that was

569
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: pretty good. You know. It's funny because we we've mentioned

570
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: all these names, we haven't really talked about Greg Olsen,

571
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: who stepped in and has like since he's come back

572
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: from injury, has looked like Greg Olsen again, you know,

573
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: which that that's that's one more guy taking some of

574
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: those targets. I'll tell you, when I saw Cam go

575
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: down for a couple of minutes with that injury, my

576
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: life flashed before my eyes. Because I have Cam, I

577
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: have shares of his team as well, and the backup

578
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: situation in Carolina is not pretty. Not pretty. So glad

579
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: that he was okay and came back and ended up

580
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: giving you a twenty plus points again. All right, last

581
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: last question that jumped out of me this week? Is

582
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: Josh Adams trustworthy? I mean, we've been trying to find

583
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: an Eagles running back. I had sort of given up

584
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: on the Eagles running back situation for the last couple

585
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: of weeks because they just were rotating so many guys

586
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: through there. On Sunday it was Josh Adams who was

587
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: the guy. Now, obviously the Eagles got blown out and

588
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: so that sort of limited what he could do. But

589
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: does this mean we can we can put aside all

590
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: things Windows small Wood and Corey Clement and just sort

591
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: of hone in on Josh Adams being that guy down

592
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: this I pushed those guys aside weeks ago. Uh, there

593
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: was there was too much competition for touches, and the

594
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: touches that were being uh debbied out in that backfield.

595
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: We're not equaling fantasy production. So there's heck, Clement and

596
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: small Wood weren't even rostered in a lot of leagues

597
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm in right now. So do I believe in him

598
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,719
Speaker 1: as an RB two. No do I believe in him

599
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: as a flex starter. Depending on the matchup, I can

600
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: certainly go there, But right now I can't believe what

601
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: the Saints defense did to that offense and locked them up.

602
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I loved Wentz. I don't know if there

603
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: was a fantasy analyst out there who didn't love Wentz

604
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: just based on the matchup. Golden Tate did nothing, Al

605
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: Shan did nothing, zach Ertz was awful, uh, and Josh

606
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: Adams was the hero from a fantasy perspective in that

607
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: offensive attack. But I do think they bounced back against

608
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: the Giants, and this week I would flex Adams. Yeah.

609
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they get the Giants in in week twelve,

610
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: get the Redskins back in week thirteen, So the Eagles

611
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: have a stretch here where they can sustain and lead.

612
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: The biggest problem is they've dropped three of their last four,

613
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: and they have been able to run the ball um

614
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: when you can't, you know, when you're not sustaining leads,

615
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to, you know, have as

616
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: much rush volume as you would you would normally. But

617
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean Adams on his small sample of carries over

618
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: the last month. I mean, he leads the Eagles and

619
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: carries yards yards after contact, easily leads them to miss

620
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: tackles force per carry. He's been fantastic on his little

621
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: small sample. But again, we just need the Eagles to

622
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: sustain some leads here. Yeah, I think that's been the

623
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: biggest problem this Eagles team. I mean, for a variety

624
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: of reasons, have been so up and down man and

625
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: not look like the Eagles from last year. And it's

626
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: it's been a it's been a culmination of a few things.

627
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, their defense is significantly worse this year, their

628
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: secondary has completely fallen apart thanks to injuries. Their offenses

629
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: and as nearly as efficient, even though Wentz has been

630
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: fantastic this year despite the poor games Saints excluding yesterday,

631
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: but he's been great. He's been fantastic this season. Just

632
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: kind of a weird year for Philly. Super Bowl hangover anyone,

633
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's weird, Like, you know, you

634
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: wonder whether or not last year and you know, Philly

635
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: fans might be mad at me just if last year

636
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: was sort of that lightning in a bottle of year

637
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: for this franchise. I mean, they had never won a

638
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl before I hear you, but they've they've had

639
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: some really weird games this year. They kind of fell

640
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: apart against the Titans and Vikings back to back weeks

641
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: in Week four and five. They were up seventeen nothing

642
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: against the Panthers in Week seven and then fell apart

643
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter because Cam went nuclear. They've been

644
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: in a lot of close games this year that could

645
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: look a little bit differently, but obviously Week eleven was

646
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: something different, but they just got completely smashed against Saints. Yeah. Well, uh,

647
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: speaking of Cam and Carson Wentz likely to be in

648
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. In fact that that gives me a

649
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: good chance to remind you. The twenty nine teen Pro

00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: sure you know, Cam, Carson, Drew Brees, a lot of

655
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: those guys will be getting plenty of votes. And Andrew Luck,

656
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: how good has he been? He's been great, good, It's great.

657
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: And then uh and then in the end, uh, you know,

658
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: we'll probably see like Josh Allen playing because all the

659
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: other guys will not show up to the Pro Bowl,

660
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: because you know, that's just how it works, all right.

661
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: So the trade deadline is coming in most leagues very

662
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: very soon. We've been talking trades for a little while,

663
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: both here on this podcast, on NFL Fantasy Live, anywhere

664
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: you can get fine fantasy football information. But this is

665
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: our last call for the trade market. So we each

666
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: went through the guy that you should trade four or

667
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: trade away, and we'll just kind of run them down

668
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: real quick. I will say this. I'll start say, trade

669
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: for Philip Lindsay. And I gave a hot take last

670
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: week on Fantasy Live saying that, uh, it would be

671
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman who would do big things against the Chargers.

672
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: That was not the case. It was still a lot

673
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: of Philip Lindsay. He had a very big game for

674
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. And I mean, at this point, there's

675
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: just no denying that he is the running back of

676
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: choice there in Denver for the way he's played. And

677
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: on top of it, the guy's got a really good

678
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: schedule down the stretch. You look at weeks four, team

679
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: at fifteen and six team, it's the forty Niners, it's

680
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: the Browns, and it's the Raiders. So, uh, that's the

681
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: guy who's gotta who's gonna be kind of locked in,

682
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: I think, and you know is it is a guy

683
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: who can give you big production and not necessarily have

684
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: to ask a huge price in a trade deal. So

685
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: he's worth grabbing on your roster. The guy to trade

686
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: away for me is Adrian Peterson and we talked about

687
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: that a little bit earlier. Because of the injury to

688
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: Alex Smith that he's done for the year, this offense

689
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: changed as the offensive line is bad. Uh, there's just

690
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: a lot of things right now that are worrisome about

691
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: this Washington team. And uh, it just makes you wonder

692
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: how much one how much does does Peters that have

693
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: left in the tank? But I think that's actually, oddly

694
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: enough a lot because of the way he's played so

695
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: far as this season, but with not a lot of

696
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: pieces around him and the fact that they've got the

697
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars and Titans in weeks fifteen and sixteen, that concerns me.

698
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: But after a big game last week, might be able

699
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: to get something for him. Um, you know, maybe even

700
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: Philip lindsay if you can, if you can swing a

701
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: deal for it, there so that's those are my trade

702
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: four trade away guys, fabs, did you guys, I'm trading

703
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: for Carson Wentz and I traded for him in a

704
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: bunch of leagues and I get it. He's it was awful.

705
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: Throw that game away against the Saints. Toss it away,

706
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: forget it because if you look at the numbers in

707
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: his previous games, twenty one points, twenty three points, eighteen points,

708
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: twenty four points, he was being back to the guy

709
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: that we all knew and loved from last season before

710
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: they had he had twenty one and twenty. He has

711
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: been a very respect bull and reliable point contributor here

712
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: fantasy team. And the matchups down the stretch, some of

713
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: them are against teams that he's already had success against.

714
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: He plays the Giants this week. Earlier in the season,

715
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: he had twenty four against him. Then he's got the Redskins.

716
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: That defense is not what it once was. Then he's

717
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: got the Cowboys in a Week four teen, he just

718
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: put up twenty one against my beloved boys. Then he's

719
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: got the Rams that could be a high scoring affair

720
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. And then you've got Houston in Week sixteen.

721
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: Not a great matchup, but it's a home matchup, so

722
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: I get it. He was bad. He crossed me this week.

723
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: I heard about it on Twitter. He was my start

724
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: of the week. Okay, guys, it was the Saints. It

725
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: was a bad week. But I say now is the

726
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: time to buy low on him as a player who

727
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: I would trade away le Shawn McCoy coming off a

728
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: big game against the Jets who didn't really want to

729
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: play football or defense, I guess a couple of weeks ago.

730
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: But like Josh Allen's coming back, and even if he wasn't,

731
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: defenses are still stack in the box against the Shawn

732
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: mcoy way. He's not the same running back that he's been,

733
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: and he was, He's been one of the better running

734
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: backs in fantasy football for the last decade. He's not

735
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: the same, dude. Offensive line is not that great. The

736
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: quarterback situation is a mess, and when Alan comes back,

737
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: as as much as I don't know how much defenses

738
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: are gonna respect Matt Barkley or Derrick Anderson, we know

739
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: they didn't respect Nathan Peterman, but he is going to

740
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: see a lot of stacked fronts moving forward. So if

741
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: you can be a salesman and pitch Hey just had

742
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: a big game against the Jets. He's seeing a lot

743
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 1: of touches too in this offense, and you could package

744
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: him potentially in the deal. I would go out and

745
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: do that. And uh, you know, there's some people out

746
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: there who like to buy into the big name and

747
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: that's why I think you're still there. You can still

748
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: get some value for l Shawn McCoy down the stretch, Graham,

749
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: your your trade for trade aways, I'm I'm buying. Uh,

750
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm buying a Denver Bronco too. For for similar reasons.

751
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: The schedule is so nice down the down the stretcher.

752
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go buy Manny Sanders on a bunch of

753
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: in a bunch of PPR leagues. And you mentioned that

754
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: the schedule's fantastic. Obviously, Steelers kind of turned back into

755
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: a pretty tough match difficult now, but then the next

756
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: four games Bengals, Niners, Browns and then Raiders and the

757
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: Fantasy Playoff Fantasy Championship in Week sixteen on Monday Night.

758
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: Big thing with Sanders is without Damaris Thomas in the lineup.

759
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: Over the last two weeks, he's kind of been less productive,

760
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: but the opportunities to stay has stayed the same Sanders

761
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: target chair over the last two weeks. Was with DT

762
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: he's seeing ten percent more of the team's are yards

763
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: two which is uh which should pay off down the

764
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: stretch again, especially against these teams. You can get vertical

765
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 1: on against the Bengals and and Niners and Raiders. So

766
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna go out and buy Manny Sanders, and

767
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: my trade away guy is Joe Mixon. Right now, the

768
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: Bengals are Bengals season is just kind of circling the

769
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: drain um. And in the Bengals four wins this year

770
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: that Joe Mixon has been a part of, He's seen

771
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: twenty three touches twenty two yards from scrimmage and scored

772
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: nineteen PPR points per game, and then there are four losses.

773
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: He's only handled fifteen touches per game, six eight yard

774
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: from scrimmage and only thirteen PPR points per contest. How

775
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: many games do we think the Bengals are gonna win

776
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: down this stretch here? I mean, not as many as

777
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: they're going to lose Graham. Looking down their schedule here,

778
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: they get Cleveland, Denver, the Chargers Raiders in Week fifteen,

779
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: and then the Browns again. Um, I know Cleveland's kind

780
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: of been a chippy team this year. They should have

781
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: a few more wins than they are, than than their

782
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: total suggest but I can see that's too splitting. I

783
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: can see them splitting those three games. Yeah, split those

784
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: two games, and then Broncos and Chargers is probably lost,

785
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: probably losses there. It's just I just don't see a

786
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: lot of positive game scripts here from Mixing. The Bengals

787
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: have dropped for the last five. It's just it's one

788
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: of those situations. It's the last gasp. You've kind of

789
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: got some big ceiling games out of Mixican, but this

790
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 1: Bangles team has just kind of fallen. I would say,

791
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: what would it change, would your outlook change if A J.

792
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 1: Green is back? I don't know, I don't know. I mean,

793
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 1: their their defense is just it's bad. It's completely falling apart.

794
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: They've lost some key players. Um. Dalton is kind of

795
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: regress back into the Andy Dalton of last year with

796
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: the two prior seasons too, not having effort, not having

797
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: a J. Green, even even if they get him back

798
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: in December. It's just it's just a difficult time to

799
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: really like any Bengal player outside of Tyler Boyd. There

800
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: it is all right, so uttle topefully a little bit

801
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: of help there is you try to swing some last

802
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: deals to make either make that playoff push or get

803
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: yourself set up for your run through the postseason. Again,

804
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: in most standard NFL dot Com league, the trade deadline

805
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: is Sunday, so you know, go out and make some deals,

806
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: make some offers, shoot your shot, as they would say,

807
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: and see what you can come up with. Alright, time

808
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: to look at the waiver wire. Another kind of hefty

809
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: list of waiver wire guys. A few of them we've

810
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: already talked about, Gus Edwards, Lamar Jackson, Josh Adams, uh

811
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: names we've mentioned, Jameis Winston. We sort of know what's

812
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: going on there. Uh. An interesting one because he will

813
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 1: never die. Frank Gore? Um is it? Is it? That?

814
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: Is it that we think Frank Gore is going to

815
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: be big or are we just over drink experience. He's

816
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: been better than Drake the last He's getting almost more

817
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: touches than Drake on a regular basis. And the matchup

818
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: this week is is going to be pretty pretty favorable

819
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: for him as well, you know against the Colts, So

820
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: I could see, I could see Gore being a flex

821
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: starter this week. He's coming off a by so you

822
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: would think he's gonna be rested. And I don't know

823
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: if Ryan Tannehill is going to be back this week

824
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: or not. And he's he's getting closer. I don't even

825
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: know what. I don't think what's right right Hill? But

826
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: Gore's I mean, listen, I get it. He's thirty five

827
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: years old, but he's he's been decent. You look at

828
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: the tape, he's he's still running like a man who's

829
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: about ten years as junior. Do do the the Dolphins,

830
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: the training staff and their coaching staff talk to one another? Right?

831
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: Because this is were through this with DeVante Parker, right,

832
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: and now we're doing this with Ryan Tannehill. Like do

833
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: they are they working in the same building? Do they

834
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: ever run across each other? Maybe send emails? It's it's

835
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: really weird. Elijah McGuire, who look, I thought when he

836
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: came back, you know, I figured, okay, they would they

837
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: would ease him back in that the first week or so,

838
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: Isaiah Krewell would be that. Nope, immediately he came back in,

839
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: it was the number one guy. So I'm guessing he's

840
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: the number one guy. Now we can just say goodbye.

841
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: In terms of the snaps, no doubt. Yeah. Uh, just

842
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: for clarity too. I mean, McGuire led the Jets and

843
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: snapshare and the two games he came back in was

844
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: right behind Karl and Touches was third on the team

845
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: and roots run. I mean, I know we've been never

846
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: Jets pretty much on this show all year, but well

847
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: that's because we're smart. I mean, well, the most part,

848
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: the Jets have to have a pass catching back who

849
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: can play in these kind of trailing situations which we

850
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: expect New York. And there's noa Powell. Now there's no

851
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: ball exactly. I mean I kind of like McGuire. Is

852
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: that a little power effect similar well, and you know,

853
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I think we liked the Lijah McGuire

854
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: before the season started. Anyway, he just got hurt and

855
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: wasn't there for a long stretch, so we sort of

856
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: forgot about him a little bit. But now that he's back,

857
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: it looks like he's going to be their featured guy

858
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Bruce Ellington is a name that just

859
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: kind of popped up. You know, he had kind of

860
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: been languishing hadn't getting gotten a lot of opportunity. Now

861
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's in a situation in Detroit

862
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: where he's going to see some chances with no more

863
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: golden taint with Marvin Jones, especially hurt. It could be

864
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: out for another week or two. Bruce Ellington is a

865
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: name that I think is gonna be really popular, especially

866
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: in PPR leagues. He had, but I think with five

867
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: catches more than that, I think yesterday nine targets. Six

868
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: catches um second on the team and targets by Golladay

869
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: who just went absolutely nuclear made some plays in that contest. Fan. Yeah,

870
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: he is a and heck you're gonna we'll see what

871
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: the status of Marvin Jones is come come Wednesday as

872
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: the Lions play their traditional Thanksgiving Day game. But Galaday, regardless,

873
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: as a guy you're you got in your lineup. You see,

874
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: you've seen the potential. You saw the potential last season,

875
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: you saw it earlier in the season. Uh, he had

876
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of a lag. If you if you

877
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: were one of those smart fantasy owners who who who

878
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: got him on the cheap, you could be smiling all

879
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: the way to the playoffs. So yeah, but Bruce Ellington.

880
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna have a bigger, bigger rule in this offense.

881
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: Uh d. J. Moore, we talked about Kiki qt is

882
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 1: still out there in a lot of leagues. Christian Kirk,

883
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: who had a nice day against the Raiders on Sunday

884
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: side question. Um, you know it's weird. It's kind of

885
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: a weird game in the sense that your Christian Kirk

886
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: had a good game. Larry Fitzgerald had the two touchdowns

887
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: which made his name look a whole lot better on

888
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: two catches. Uh David Johnson had had a really nice

889
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: that he had a long touchdown called back because of

890
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: a penalty kind of near the end of that one.

891
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: But on the whole, that offense just looked They looked

892
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: bad against the Raiders. They couldn't move football. Josh Rosen

893
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: was one under siege and when he wasn't just just

894
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: couldn't connect with It comes down to the offensive line.

895
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Rosen his top tops in the league in

896
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: terms of pressure rate allowed. The cards of Yeah, they've

897
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: allowed the highest pressure in the NFL, And I mean

898
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: it's just kind of hamstrung this entire offense. They can't

899
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: get any when your offensive line is allowing pressure of

900
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: the time when your dropbacks, you don't get into a rhythm,

901
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: which I mean I I joked for a while that

902
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: that was why the car Those drafted Josh Rosen because

903
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: it would just be like his college experience all that

904
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: he was just he was constantly under siege at U

905
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: C l A. So I figured that, you know, hey,

906
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: this wouldn't be anything new, but it's just it's been

907
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: it's been painful to watch. I mean, at the very least,

908
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: DJ over his last three games savaging four point seven

909
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 1: yards per carry, which is a very They've figured out

910
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: that part of the offense, so that's great. They figured

911
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: out how to revive the JI, so so that's cool.

912
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: I just don't get how Mike McCoy didn't utilize him

913
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: like left which has utilized Don't worry it is Mike

914
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: McCoy is going to get another job here he go

915
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: to Cleveland. That that would be a Cleveland thing to do. Uh.

916
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: John Oh Smith was a guy that you know, he's

917
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: had some decent games. I mean, he hasn't had any

918
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: real blow up games, but he's started to get some

919
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: more looks now, I think, you know, I think for

920
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: him to continue to be a thing. I think the

921
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: Titans need Marcus Mariota to be there. I don't know

922
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: that I trust Blaine Gabberd to getting him in the the football.

923
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: But if Mariota is back and able to play in

924
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: Week twelve, John new Smith kind of has a little

925
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 1: bit of at least streaming or deep sleeper value this week,

926
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: I would think, Yeah. I think the one issue is that,

927
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, we need to know whether or not Mariotte

928
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: is going to be in that lineup because it's a

929
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: Monday night game. Uh, they're playing against the Texans. So

930
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: but he has certainly seen an increase in his target share,

931
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. But you want to talk about,

932
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: real quick, a guy who's frustrating. How about Corey Davis.

933
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: I've given up. Just when you think that he's gonna

934
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 1: be a consistent producer for your fantasy team, he goes

935
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: in legs lays an absolute egg against the Gults on Sunday.

936
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 1: I've given up on him. In fact, I just generally

937
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 1: want the Titans offense out of my life because they're

938
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: just there. There was a lot of eggs that were

939
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: laid by the Titans in that contest about the thing

940
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 1: where they go big against the Patriots the week before

941
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, oh, this is a huge matchup Cowboys

942
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: and whatever. Um, and then they do nothing, so like

943
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm done. I'm done. And then Davis had the

944
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: big game against Gilmore too, and that wow, I opening, whoa.

945
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: The Titans have I had a similar season to the Eagles.

946
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: I mean, they've just been all over the place. They

947
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: also the Dolphins in Week one, just randomly lost the Dolphins.

948
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: They beat the Patriots, They've beat the Jags, they beat

949
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles when the Eagles were still playing really well

950
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: early in the season. They lost a really weird game

951
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: against the Chargers. It's just I can't figure out. You

952
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: know what this, bros. It's something we already know. Football

953
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: is really hard. Just sometimes just there's just just go away. Titans,

954
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: go away. And this last name you have on the

955
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 1: list is is further proof that football is hard to pretty.

956
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: Raiders have no wide receivers left. They don't um none.

957
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: I did see the quote after the game from Derek

958
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: Carr where he's they asked him about his his wide

959
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: receivers getting hurt and he said it's like than oh

960
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: snapped his fingers and they all just there. Um, that's actually,

961
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of accurate actually, because you know, we'll see

962
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: what you know, what these status is for guys like

963
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson and Martavis Bryant. But they lost Brandon LaFell

964
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: to what appeally he had torn achilles, so he's probably

965
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: done for the year. So right now as we sit here,

966
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 1: their receivers are Seth Roberts and Marcel Eatesman and Jared

967
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: cook Is the uh is the main target for Derek Carr.

968
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: And yet somehow they won a football game against another

969
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: NFL football team. That shocked me, Like I really liked

970
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 1: the Cardinals defense is a streaming option and they did

971
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: not get the job done. In the Raiders one didn't happen.

972
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: So that goes against the Grooten narrative. Don't you don't

973
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: you want your team to sort of at least look

974
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: halfway decent, look like they're trying, and then lose because

975
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: you've got all these draft picks in the first round.

976
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean, oh, don't worry. They played Baltimore Kansas City

977
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh in their next What has happened to Baltimore's defense?

978
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: Graham earlier in the season this defense was feared. I

979
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: streamed him just one game. I streamed him and oh awful. Yeah,

980
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: I mean I I mean I think everyone kind of

981
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: had him, I mean against everyone's teeing them up. But no,

982
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean that it's just one bad game. Well no,

983
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you know, coming out of by

984
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: Big Band. I mean, you know, and I get it.

985
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: You know that narrative is sort of hits just have died.

986
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: But Big Band lit him up in Baltimore, you know,

987
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. Um, their defense hasn't been that

988
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: you know, feared unit as it once was earlier in

989
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: the season. They have not been good lately at all. Yeah,

990
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: So let's proved to the defenses from year to year

991
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: are not necessarily static. I mean, you know, we love

992
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: to look at the Jaguars, the Vikings without the Jaguars

993
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: would be great. Allow the Jaguars this week if they

994
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: got dropped in your league, Bills, Oh yeah, go get them,

995
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,479
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Maybe back to this is why you should

996
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: never draft a quarterback before one of your last two picks,

997
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: because streaming defenses typically isn't gonna work better for you.

998
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: There you go, all right, So as always, it's a Monday,

999
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 1: So Murph, I'm guessing we have some Monday boning tweets

1000
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: from folks out there. Yeah, we do, thanks everyone who

1001
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: tweetered and after our Marcus, you gave your flexing of

1002
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis over Kenny Golladay. Yeah, I really, uh man,

1003
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 1: So I'll start with the first one here, Rich tipits

1004
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 1: throw two words Carson Wentz. Yeah, yeah, I think that's

1005
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. I'll tell you, if you

1006
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: find me a Fantasy analyst who didn't like Wentz, please

1007
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: let me know their name. I will follow them on

1008
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: Twitter because that is a hell of a call. Hell

1009
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: a hell of a call. Supposed to be a high

1010
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,919
Speaker 1: scoring game. It wasn't high scoring game, just one team

1011
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 1: that all scoring. Wentz was not the only quarterback though.

1012
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: To give people some hashtag Monday morning tweets, Fantasy Spy

1013
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: wrote Marcus Mariott and Ryan Fitzpatrick, I don't think that

1014
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: requires collaborations. I mean, Mariotta got hurt and and Fitzpatrick,

1015
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 1: but we said it on the show last week. Remember

1016
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: we were talking with can't all about it. That's why

1017
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: I don't like I didn't like Fitzpatrick because he's always

1018
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: a couple of turnovers away from being yeaked, and then

1019
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: that's what happened. So Philip Carwell wrote, I flexed Alvin

1020
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: Cook over t Y Hilton. Actually, yeah, I mean here's

1021
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,240
Speaker 1: the thing I thought. I mean, I was so overdue

1022
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: for this game, by the way, true, I just you

1023
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: know something. I didn't think Dalvin Cook would necessarily have

1024
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: a blow up game because the first defensive. But I

1025
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: didn't expect he would get you negative one. It was bad.

1026
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: I didn't think that was gonna happen. That was bad.

1027
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 1: There was a lot of excite. Although so this week

1028
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: coming up, I think they have Green Bay. They do

1029
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: Packers Vikings on Sunday night. Should bounce Sunday night getting

1030
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: should bounce back. Kenneth Fry I started, Eric he run

1031
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: over Vance McDonald hashtag Monday morning. Okay, that's on you.

1032
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: Eric E. Brown has been playing like what of the

1033
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 1: team snaps with over the last couple of weeks with

1034
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle. You know what they see what they see,

1035
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: they see the three touchdowns. That was the wee thing

1036
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: to spot from mile away. As if you were following

1037
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: Eric Brownze usage it all, you knew this was possible

1038
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: that here one time that he touched the ball in

1039
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: that game us to throw it, and he overthrew, overthrew

1040
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck on the Philly Special non valid. And Andrew

1041
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: Bluck made a gallant effort to catch that football though

1042
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: he's I mean, he was like which he was kind

1043
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: of like, you know, laying out, but he tried to,

1044
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: like heck to catch it. If I'm frank. Right afterwards,

1045
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, Andrew, appreciate the effort. Bro. How about

1046
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: you not dive anymore? Right, let's not let's let's not

1047
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: potentially land on that shoulder. You're gonna have a guy

1048
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: throw on the football. Be a little more accurate, please,

1049
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: So there you go. We could end with this one.

1050
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: I think it's very funny. So it's more of a

1051
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: visual thing. So head over to at Markets you to

1052
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: see it. But at Aaron Goody wrote my face when

1053
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: I left d J. Moore and trade Kon Smith on

1054
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: my bench hashtag Monday monent, and it's the picture of

1055
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco with his head in his hand made its

1056
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: way around the internet. But I mean, but to his defense,

1057
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do. Trakon was coming off a stinker.

1058
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: I love the matchup against the Eagles, but he was

1059
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: coming off a stinker and d J. Moore had what

1060
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: twelve combined points in his previous two weeks. Yeah, I

1061
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: mean that's gonna be The frustrating thing with those cars,

1062
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: with those Carolina Wide receivers is that it's gonna be

1063
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 1: hard to predict who's going to see the most targets

1064
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,240
