1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: Wow, everybody, It's Monday, September two. Welcome to the NFL

2
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show. It's meet your man, Namgy Marcus Gran

3
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: joined by Michael left Florio and the specialists. The cast

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: of dozens that help us put on this show. Fired up.

5
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: It is a busy Monday for you. Even got plenty

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: of talking about, got some injuries to kind of go over,

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: and have plenty of other things to chat about. But Florio,

8
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: last time we had one of our podcast on Wednesday,

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: you were saying that you thought that it was a

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: big game for the Dolphins, that was a measuring stick

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: game for them, and it meant more to them. Uh,

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: they ended up getting the wins. So do you want

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: to revise how you feel in retrospect? Now? I was

14
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: salty in the moment yesterday a little bit, But it

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: was just one of those weird games, right, Like credit

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: to Miami their their defense played great, to uh in

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: the offense got the job done. But it was just

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: a weird game where like every single one of the

19
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: Bills players were like getting fluids and cramping on the sidelines.

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like that, you know, It's weird,

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: Like I saw that. I'm like, well, you know, who

22
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: would have thought it'd be warm, uh in September. But

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: also I remember a game Jesus was years ago. I

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: think it was like an Eagles Cowboys game, where like

25
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: there was a story that the Eagles were drinking pickle

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: juice ahead of the game, Uh, to try and keep

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: themselves hydrated. I don't know if the Bills want to

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: try that. I mean, I don't know if it's gonna be,

29
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: if it's gonna matter the rest of this year, but

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: maybe that's something to remember, like to try try drinking

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: pickle juice couldn't be me. I don't like pickles, so

32
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: I can't imagine willingly drinking pickle juice to to try

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: and keep hydrated. Anyway, Uh, we got played to talk about.

34
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: We got our biggest takeaways from what we saw on Sunday.

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: We've got some waiver wire targets. Of course, we've also

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: got some guys to drop, and we're gonna actually take

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: a look at some Madden ratings as well and see

38
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: maybe who's gonna get a boost based on what they

39
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: did this past weekend. But let's start with some fantasy

40
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: headlines that we will start in Detroit. We're According to

41
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: our own Tom Plaicero, DeAndre Swift suffered a shoulder sprain

42
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. That's not expected to

43
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: require surgery, but he could miss some time. I mean Florida.

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: This first off is a big blow to anybody who

45
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: had Swift because he was playing very well this season.

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: But also, uh, it makes Jamal Williams very much in

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: play now. I guess, yeah, Jamal Williams has to be

48
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: one of the top waiver wire names. He was already

49
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: carving out a nice role for himself, Like he leads

50
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: the league and carries inside the tan yard line, while

51
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: Swift only has one all years. So Williams was already

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: carving out a nice role for himself. But you have

53
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: to think with no Swift, it only gets larger and larger. Yeah,

54
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna get bigger. H Craig Reynolds. I believe it

55
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: was also going to be probably involved a little bit

56
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: in that backfield, but I think it's gonna be a

57
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: heavy dose of Jamal Williams in Minnesota. I guess. The

58
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: other side of that same game from Sunday, Dalvin Cook

59
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: suffered a dislocated shoulder. He is considered day today. Now,

60
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: apparently this is not the first time he has dislocated

61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: the shoulder. I would think Alexander Madison probably not much

62
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: on waiver wires, but obviously that seems like the appropriate

63
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: corresponding move, just as a precaution. Yeah, if he is

64
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: out there and you have Dalvin Cook, I think he

65
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 1: has to be your top at this week. He's still

66
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: there in some leagues. But yeah, Dalvin Cook. I mean,

67
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: we might get an answer to this because they're flying

68
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: out to London on Friday, so maybe we'll know by then. Uh. Yeah,

69
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: you know, it's weird. I had somebody in my mentions

70
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: yesterday who was completely out on Dalvin Cook's is I've done.

71
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't want any more part of it. I'm like,

72
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: you could trade him to me if we were I

73
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: would definitely take Dalvin Cook off your hands. I'm not

74
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: that concerned with him yet. Uh. David Montgomery left the

75
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: game with a leg injury on Sunday. He is considered

76
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: day today. I know what's We'll talk a little bit

77
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: about Khalil Herbert probably a little bit later on in

78
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: the show, but he was amazing. I mean, how much

79
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: concern do you have that maybe Montgomery is gonna start

80
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: losing opportunities based on what we saw. I it definitely

81
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: has to be a concern. We we saw it in

82
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: a game earlier this year where Herbert vultured a touchdown

83
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: a way uh, and then yesterday that was my initial reaction,

84
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: and then we found out that Montgomery was hurt. I

85
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: know this is like the third time I'm saying it already,

86
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: but if you have Montgomery or just all things in

87
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: the vacuum, Khalil Herbert is right up there with Jamal

88
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Williams to be the number one I'll waiver wire pickup

89
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: of the week. I think we just need to find

90
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: out a little bit more about each injury before we

91
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: kind of ranked them, but those guys are definitely the

92
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: top two right now. Definitely keep an eye on what's

93
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: going to happen with all of those running backs because

94
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: that's going to be important heading into Week four. Some

95
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: quarterback news, Mac Jones suffered an ankle injury late in

96
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots game on Sunday. Now X rays were negative

97
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: after the game, but according to both Ian Rappaport and

98
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: Tom Pellicero, reports are it is a pretty severe high

99
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: ankle sprain. The timetable for his return is to be determined,

100
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: but Florio it looks like he's going to miss at

101
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: least a month, maybe a little bit more. I'm not

102
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and try and pretend that we want

103
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: any part of Brian Houler, Hoyer or Bailey Zappy or

104
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: whoever it is that takes over at quarterback. But now

105
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: the question is we were just starting to get some

106
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: things going with this passing game a little bit. How

107
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: much do we stay away now from guys like DeVante Parker,

108
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers, etcetera. Yeah, I think you say firmly away

109
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: if mac Jones is gonna miss a month or or

110
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: something like that. I was getting excited about them. Devonte

111
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: Parker looks great yesterday. Jacobe Meyers was someone that we

112
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: had spoke up coming into this week. I know he

113
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: didn't play, but he had been playing well. To me.

114
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: If mac Jones missed his time, I think it's from

115
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: Andre Stevenson. It's Damien Harris, and that's really it you

116
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: can trust for fantasy purposes in New England. Then we

117
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: saw a little bit of the Romandre Stevenson breakout in

118
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: Week three for the New England Patriots. All right. That

119
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: gets us to our biggest fantasy takeaways from Sunday. We

120
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: had previously been calling those things I learned we would

121
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: each picked one, but now we sort of collab and

122
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: we come up with five things that we saw that

123
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: I think are worth noting from this past weekend of action.

124
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: So for you, what is the first takeaway you had

125
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: from what you saw this weekend? It happened. Damian Pierce

126
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: is the lead running back for the Houston Texans, and

127
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: it was great to see yesterday he played the snaps.

128
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: He had carries for eight yards and a touchdown, added

129
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: in two catches on two targets twenty one yard, scored

130
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: eighteen PPR points. And what I love Marcus is he

131
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: dominated the work on the ground. He got the goal

132
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: on work there. They used to play action passed with

133
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: him in the red zone, so he's getting all the

134
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: work we want. The only thing he needs to continue

135
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: to take away, and I think it will happen is

136
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: just more work from the passing game, and he's already

137
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: getting involved there. We just gotta see if he can

138
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: take over now more and more as the season goes on.

139
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: It's I appreciate the fact that Levy Smith has said,

140
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: you know, we want to get him more involved, we

141
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: want to work him in more, and they're actually sticking

142
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: to it. It just makes me wonder, like what happened

143
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: in week one? Why was it such a heavy dose

144
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: of Rex Birkhead in week one? And now all of

145
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: a sudden they're willing to just turn things over to years.

146
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm just glad to see it

147
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: is what it is. Uh for me, it's time to

148
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: worry about DJ Moore. It's been three weeks and not

149
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: only has he not had a big breakout, he hasn't

150
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: really done anything of note in this offense. His target

151
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: share is way down from what it was a year ago.

152
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: He's having trouble connected with Baker Mayfield on anything. When

153
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: they do catch passes, they're very short. There's just not

154
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: a lot of juice in this Panthers passing game, and

155
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: DJ More really seems to be suffering for it. I'm

156
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: not ready to drop him. We're gonna talk about guys

157
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: that are droppable a little bit later on in the show.

158
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: But Florio, I am really really starting to panic about

159
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: DJ More, just because I haven't seen anything from the

160
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: Panthers that makes me think this is going to suddenly,

161
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, turn into a big game breaking offense soon. Yeah,

162
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: I posted it earlier today, but you pick a stat

163
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: basically through three weeks and it's lower. It's a worse

164
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: STA for DJ more than it has been the last

165
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: three years where we were thinking that this was a

166
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: quarterback up great indeed in Baker Mayfield. It just it's

167
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: been anything but for the first three weeks. And if

168
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: you have him, I think you have to be very

169
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: worry during now. So we go from a current Panthers

170
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver two guy who was a former Panthers wide

171
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: receiver that you're feeling really good about. Yeah, I think

172
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel is in play every single week now. Like

173
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: in a game yesterday that was awful, awful for fantasy purposes.

174
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: For most of the day for Washington, Curtis Samuel was

175
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: like the one bright spot. Like there was a point

176
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: in this game markets where he Carson went through like

177
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: three quarters. Was that like a hundred passing yards or

178
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: something like that, But Curtis Samuel was still getting all

179
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: the volume yesterday ten targets, seven catches, forty eight receiving yards.

180
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: He added in three carries for thirteen yards. He now has.

181
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: He's averaging ten targets per game, with at least nine

182
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: in every single game. Plus he's giving you at least

183
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: thirteen Fantasy points every week. I think he has a

184
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: safe floor, and he's already shown us he is more

185
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: receiling than that. As much as we've been high piping

186
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: up these past catchers in Washington, he is the one

187
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: guy it seems like they can consistently get the ball

188
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: to weekend in week out, whether it's through short throws,

189
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: whether it's running the football. So I just think he's

190
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: always going to have the ball in his hands. And

191
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: this is kind of what we thought he would be

192
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: when he first got to Washington. He just wasn't healthy.

193
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: Now he's healthy and on the field and it looks

194
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: pretty good from him. For me, I think it's time

195
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: to just expect week to week volatility from Davante Adams.

196
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Week one, he had the huge game for

197
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: the Raiders. We thought, all right, here we go, this

198
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: is what it's gonna be. Everything's gonna be great. Week

199
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: two he sort of disappeared. He didn't see the ball

200
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: a whole lot. Then in week three he got a

201
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: lot of work early. Caught the touchdown early in the

202
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: ball game, and it felt like, Okay, well we're back

203
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: to it with Davante Adams. But then in the second half,

204
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: really nothing to speak of, didn't have a ton of yards,

205
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: just wasn't a big part of the Raider passing the

206
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: game was mc hollands getting work, Darren Waller of course

207
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: getting some targets. They were spreading the ball around a

208
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: little bit Florio. In Green Bay. We knew that Aaron

209
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: Rodgers was going to find Davanta Regards. It didn't matter

210
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: if he was open or not. They were going to

211
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: get him the ball. It feels like Derek Carr is

212
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: more committed to spreading the football around, and maybe it

213
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: means Devontae Adams doesn't just get this ridiculous target share

214
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: like we saw for years in Green Bay. It feels

215
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: that way, and it feels like a mistake. I mean,

216
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders are the only oh and three team in

217
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: the NFL right now, and they're they're big offseason acquisition

218
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: is just putting up pedestrian numbers the last two weeks.

219
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: Like let's go back to Week one when you threw

220
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: them the ball. It was in nineteen times or something

221
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: like that, like especially and like near the goal, and

222
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: like he excels at short yard touchdowns, and like yesterday

223
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: they were throwing a mac Collins Darren Waller and throwing

224
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: a Darren Waller. I love Darren Waller. One went through

225
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: his hands, it was an interception, and one bounced off

226
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: of him and called him to two point place. So

227
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, throw the ball more to Davante Adams.

228
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: I also feel like, if I'm an opposing defensive coordinator,

229
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: I will dare you to beat me with Mac Hollins.

230
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't want you to beat me with Devant. And

231
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: if I give up nineteen targets to Devon Adams and lose,

232
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: that's on me. If I give up a ton of

233
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: targets to mac Hollands and the Raiders beat me, well

234
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: you tip your cap and you just say, hey, you

235
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: guys played a really good game today, last one. So

236
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: we go from again, we go from a former Packer

237
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver to a current Packer wide receiver that we

238
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: can get excited about. Yeah, I think Aaron Rodgers has

239
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: found his new number one wide receiver, not saying he's

240
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: going to replace Davonte Adams, but say hello to Romeo

241
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: Dobbs everyone. Yesterday eight targets, eight catches, seventy three yards

242
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: and a touchdown h thirty four routes he was targeted

243
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: on of them. He had a hundred and forty four

244
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: passer rating when targeted. All of that lad the Packers

245
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers. The only thing he could get better at,

246
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: I think is being used down field more, but that

247
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: will come. The thing we always talk about with Rogers

248
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: and his receivers is trust. Yesterday a National TV game

249
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: against the Goat. You know, Rogers wanted that one and

250
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: he trusted Dobbs. And then after the game of reporter

251
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: was like, this is the first receiver since early to

252
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: have eight catches in the game that's not named Davante Adams,

253
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: and Rogers was just like, Wow, I think Dobbs won

254
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: him over yesterday. That's amazing that Rogers was surprised. I

255
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: don't think he realized how much he leaned on DeVante Adams,

256
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: I guess until he got that note. So Romeo Dobbs

257
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: looks like he's here. We got excited about him in

258
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: the preseason, and so far it looks like it's starting

259
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: to translate. A little bit. Take a look at the

260
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: top performers four Week three of the Mark Jackson doing

261
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: it again thirty nine fantasy points for him, Khalil Herbert

262
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: the huge day in David Montgomery's absence nearly thirty one

263
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: fantasy points for him, a couple of rushing touchdowns. Davante

264
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: Smith went kaboom against Washington thirty point nine points for him.

265
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews continues to look like the tight end one

266
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: point nine, Greggs air line four field goals at sixteen points,

267
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: and the Eagles defense getting it in against the Commanders

268
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: with eighteen fantasy points. There, let's talk some of the

269
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: top performers. One which you know, I'll let you take

270
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: a little humble brag on this. You can take a

271
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: short victory left with Marquis Brown because you were so

272
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: him on him this week. As is going to do

273
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: some big things for the Cardinals, and they got him involved.

274
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: They didn't win because they've got other issues, but at

275
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: least from from our standpoint, Marky's Brown did the thing

276
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Yeah. I love the seventeen targets. I'm fourteen catches,

277
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty yards awesome. I just want to

278
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: see some more downfield shots with him. They're using him

279
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: like a traditional X receiver, and I'm like, that's cool,

280
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: he can do that, but like, that's not why you

281
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: traded for him. He's one of the best field stretchers

282
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: in the league, So maybe take a couple of deep

283
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: shots per game with him. But I think you have

284
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: to feel great about Mark's Brown doing this against Jalen

285
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: Ramsey and a tough secondary. I do wonder maybe we

286
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: start to see more downfield stuff once DeAndre Hopkins comes

287
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: back and they can kind of diversify a little bit.

288
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, I think that part of the

289
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: game has not come yet, but I think it's it's

290
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: definitely going to come. Derrick Henry, I'm gonna take a small,

291
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: big three lap on this one. I thought. I think

292
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: I think we could do this as a group, right

293
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: because I feel like everybody in the industry was saying

294
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: the Derrick Henry game was coming. We all knew it.

295
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: You can't keep that guy down very long. Had a

296
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: nice day against the Raiders five rushing yards and a touchdown,

297
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: but Floyo six targets, five catches, fifty eight yards. There

298
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: carry legitimately as part of the passing game. Maybe it's

299
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: because their wide receivers are nothing to write home about.

300
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: But I don't care why it's happening. I'm just excited

301
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: that it's happening. Yeah, I mean twenty yards and twenty

302
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: carries in a touchdown. Yeah, that's a normal Derrick Henry Dave.

303
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: But six targets, like you said, five catches eight yards

304
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: like that is something to get excited about. That I

305
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: think gives him a easy path to being the RB

306
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: one if he gets passing usage like that every week.

307
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: I know everybody's sort of touting the fact that it

308
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: looks like a zero RB year because we got all

309
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys near the top of the

310
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: leaderboard that weren't drafted very highly. I mean, I take

311
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: that for what it's worth. But I think by the

312
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: time we get to the end of the year, you're

313
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of the familiar names. You'll see

314
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: the Nick Chubbs, you'll see the Derrick Henry's. So if

315
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened early, I think it will happen later.

316
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: It's a long season, got a long way to go.

317
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence looking good. The Jet Aguar is looking good

318
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: as a team. We've been talking about James Robinson the

319
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks for understandable reasons, but Trevor Lawrence

320
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: doing it in a really nice way against the Chargers

321
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Some of this I think is the quarterback.

322
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: Some of it I think is the head coach. But

323
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: are are we ready to say Trevor Lawrence is I'm

324
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: not gonna say a solid QB one, but maybe a

325
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: fringe streamable QB one now A right? I think so.

326
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: I think that he brought that upside coming into the

327
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: season and he's finally like taking advantage of it. I

328
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: think we have to just give him a complete pass

329
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: for his rookie year with Urban Meyer and everything that

330
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: went wrong last season. But I know, and again it's

331
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: easy to say, like, oh, they beat the Chargers with

332
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: a hurt Justin Herbert, Well, that defense is still healthy

333
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: and there's still one of the better defenses in football,

334
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: and Trevor Lawrence played great against them two sixty two

335
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: passing yards, three touchdowns. I think he's looking more and

336
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: more comfortable every week. He's gonna remind people why he's

337
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: a generational talent and even better, like we know every game.

338
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: Who his fantasy pieces are gonna be. It's gonna be

339
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: christ and Kirk, It's gonna be James Robinson in the backfield,

340
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: and it looks like it's gonna be Z Jones is

341
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: the secondary receivers. A Jones playing really well. I loved

342
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: he had his touchdown celebration which he basically copied all

343
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: the great Chargers. He did the Ladenia Thomlinson ball flip,

344
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: and he followed it up with the Shawn Merriman lights

345
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: out dance. So Za Jones knows his Charger history and

346
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: was studying and getting ready for the week. So those

347
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: are the guys that were on the good Now the

348
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: guys who were on the bad our biggest disappointments of

349
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: the week. In Florio, yours might have been the biggest

350
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: disappointment in fantasy football this week. Yeah, I know. Earlier

351
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: he said we're gonna hear it to zero RB season.

352
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: Well not if you drafted Justin Jefferson in the first round.

353
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: Right now you might be wishing you took a running back.

354
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: Six targets, three catches, fourteen yards to disappointing games in

355
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: a row for Justin Jefferson. This is on his offense, right, Like,

356
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: I get it. He had a really good cornerback opposite

357
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: of him. He is Justin Jefferson, though you have to

358
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: throw the ball to him more than six times a game.

359
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: Ape Actually, when your other options are like Adam Feeling

360
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: or Smith, no offense to those guys. They're just not

361
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. They can't do what he can do. We

362
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: saw what he could do in Week one when he

363
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: threw the ball eleven times and he went for nearly

364
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: two hundred yards and two scores. There's gonna be better

365
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: days ahead for Justin Jefferson. I still value him as

366
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: one of the absolute best receivers in Fantasy, but we

367
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: three was a rough go for him. It was a

368
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: rough go now for me, I feel like this sort

369
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: of turns to Kevin O'Connell now because it's been two

370
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: weeks in a row that Jefferson has been underwhelming. It's

371
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: now on the coach to try and manufacture some more

372
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: easier opportunities to get him going because he is a

373
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: big part of the offense. He Dalvin cooked, those are

374
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: the guys that really make this thing go. So I'm

375
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: curious to see what Kevin O'Connell does in the weeks

376
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: ahead to sort of try and jump start Justin Jefferson,

377
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: because if he's not playing well, it's gonna be hard

378
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: for the Vikings to win. For me, Joe Mixing a

379
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: huge disappointment. Maybe not as big a disappointment as Ustin

380
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: Jefferson was, but I just didn't see much out of

381
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon on a day where the Bengals offense finally

382
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: looked like it was clicking a little bit. Twelve carries

383
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: twenty four yards, just three catches for fourteen yards. Still

384
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: doesn't have a touchdown this season. I'm I'm talking this

385
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: up as just too kind of a one week thing

386
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: for Joe Mixon. But still, it was a bad game

387
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: in a on a day where you thought better things

388
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: were coming. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know if

389
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: I'm panicking too much about it. I'm just I think

390
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm just being salty right now. Florida. I loved his

391
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: workload the first two weeks of the season, did not

392
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: love it yesterday. I know he's dealing with like a

393
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: little ankle injury. If you have him, could be smart

394
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: to grab some j Peter Ryan with them on the

395
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: short week, But I'm with you, Marcus. I drafted Mixing

396
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: in one league, and I'm looking at him in the

397
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: first three weeks and I'm like us, it has been

398
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: there in the first couple of weeks, but like, where

399
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: is the production that we signed up for? Yeah, it

400
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: has not come just yet. And as you mentioned, a

401
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: short week, the Bengals played the Dolphins on Thursday Night Football.

402
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: That could be a really interesting game. The Dolphins playing well,

403
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals looking like they're maybe turning some things around.

404
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: So looking forward to to checking that one out. Anyway,

405
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: Clearly there were some mistakes made over the weekend. We'll

406
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 1: get to a few of them that you sent us

407
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: at NFL Fantasy from Fom's one put that up there

408
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: about starting the Chargers defense. Let's see, do we have it?

409
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: Let me see if you pull this up here, it is, Oh,

410
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: there is starting the Chargers d That was all. That

411
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: was the whole tweet. I mean, I guess I get it,

412
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I feel like we can't just

413
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: pick on the Jaguars offense Florida, like I know it's

414
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: been easy in the past. I don't think that's the

415
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: case anymore. No, I don't. I don't think so either.

416
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: Especially again, like I've been high on these Chargers defense.

417
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: I know they're not fully healthy, but they're tough matchup

418
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 1: and to see Lawrence and the Jags do what they do,

419
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: give him credit absolutely. Next one, this one from hype

420
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: Squad seventies six not starting Davonte Smith. That's on you,

421
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: Like you know, sometimes we at these tweets and I

422
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: feel bad for the people. This one's on you. Davante

423
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: Smith had a good week and week two the Commander's

424
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: defense is not very good. I don't know, I don't

425
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: know that I have any sympathy here that that's a

426
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: that's an unforced error. Yeah, I mean it is, and

427
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: he's throwing him the Batman cape on. I had him

428
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: ranked as a water receiver three coming into the year,

429
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: but I think he deserves a boost because Jalen Hurts

430
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: is playing way better than anticipated, playing lights out the

431
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: first few weeks of the season. And yes, I did

432
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: not expect DeVante Smith to go for a buck sixty

433
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: nine and a touchdown, but I did think he was

434
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: going to have a big day. Washington has not shown

435
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: an ability to stop anybody, so that that that's operator

436
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: error on that one. Let's wand to the next one,

437
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: this one from a Sadinsky or a Sidinsky I don't know,

438
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: and not playing Christian Kirk after I played him week

439
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: one and week two? What happened? Why wouldn't you go

440
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: back to him? That's another one that's on you, Like

441
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: he's been great and if you can't even play the rankings,

442
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: I had him rank as as a top ten water

443
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: receiver despite the matchup, So there's another user error, I think, Marcus, Yeah,

444
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: that's definitely used your error here because Christian you played

445
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: him in week one in week two and you saw

446
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: what he was doing, So what made you think now

447
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do that again? That's on that's on

448
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: you again. That's that's that's operator error there. And let's

449
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: you've got one last one, this one from Stewart Taylor

450
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: dropping Breeze Hall and Tyler Boyd. Why I guess. I

451
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: guess I'd have to ask who did you pick up

452
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: in their place? But I don't know why you would

453
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: drop certainly Breeze Hall, but either also Tyler Boyd. Why

454
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: would you drop either of those guys? I don't get

455
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, especially the Breese Hall thing, Like what

456
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: had happened the last couple of weeks to be like,

457
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna give up on my fourth

458
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: round pick. It's just I don't know what. Maybe you

459
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: were expecting Breeze Hall to get what Nigen Harris type

460
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: usage that that's that was not wise thinking because we

461
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: knew that was never gonna be the case. So I

462
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: don't I don't understand that one. We do have one

463
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: last rookie mistake, and this one comes Curtis see Bill's

464
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Kim Dorsey. Although I will say this, it

465
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: got a lot of run on social media. Understandably we

466
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: show roll the video at the end of the game,

467
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: Kim Dorsey just rage quits like a surly preteen and

468
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: Madden slamming his helmet down, smashing the laptop and throwing

469
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: papers everywhere. Uh but I would imagine Florida That's pretty

470
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: much how Bills fans felt at the end of the

471
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: game too. I do love that, like someone at the

472
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: last second is like covers up the camera. They're like,

473
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: oh man, this is being recorded right now. I get it, though,

474
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: Like they ran out the clock poorly at the end

475
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: of the game. They had a situation at the end

476
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: of the first half where they botched the field goal attent.

477
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: Today they missed the field goal. He losed by two points.

478
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: You're it's like when you keep missing the kick or

479
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: something in Madden you just like throw the controller at

480
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: the end of the game. I do also enjoy that

481
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: all the other coaches around him really weren't phased by

482
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: It was sort of like, yeah, we've seen this before.

483
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: This is just Ken like doing his angry because none

484
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: of the other coaches really and they kind of looked

485
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: up for a second and they went back to what

486
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: they were doing, and uh, it was all good. But

487
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: you're right, we all need a friend who will cover

488
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: up the camera and we're losing our stuff at the

489
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: end of the day. All right, it's good to take

490
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: it to the break right now. I'll step away for

491
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: a moment, come back and talk about some guys who

492
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: maybe I was feeling a certain way. Maybe they're not bad,

493
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: but they're also not great. We'll dive into that a

494
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: little bit. We'll search our feelings. We'll talk about our

495

Speaker 1: emotions next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. The NFL

504
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: pulse of how we're feeling about some guys that have

505
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: not been terrible, but have not been great either. I

506
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: got five guys here who we may feel some kind

507
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 1: of way about, So let's kind of get into it, Floria.

508
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: Let's start with Austin Ekeler. This is a guy that

509
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: in most leagues probably went with the top three, certainly

510
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: a top five pick. Coming into Monday night, he was

511
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: the RB thirteen. Has yet to score a touchdown. He

512
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: hasn't been terrible, but it definitely isn't what you signed

513
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: up for. So how are we feeling about Keler? Not

514
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: great right now, but also not super panicked, like I

515
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: don't understand what happened yesterday? Four carries for five yards

516
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: Like that's on the coaching staff. You just gotta get

517
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: this guy more usage. He has eighty rushing yards through

518
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: three games. Right now, that will get better. I believe

519
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: the volume the past catching volume has saved in the

520
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: last two games. But after scoring twenty touchdowns last year,

521
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: we knew regression would hit. Didn't think it would be

522
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: like this. That said, Noel Marcus, I would trade for

523
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: him right now. He gets the text Broncos, Seahawks, Falcons

524
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: all within the next five weeks, So try to buy

525
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: low on Alston Ekeler. I would say, definitely some good

526
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: matchups coming. The thing that has concerned me most though,

527
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: is that we've seen a lot of Sony Michelle getting opportunities.

528
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: I did not anticipate that. I thought Michelle was going

529
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: to be kind of an insurance policy, but it appears

530
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: that the charge is gonna use him, maybe to try

531
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: to keep fresh. Uh. We'll see how it works out.

532
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: If they're not winning ball games, though, it's time to

533
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: get Eckler back on the field. Staying in the division.

534
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Alaire has been pretty good fantasy wise, but

535
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: the usage is really weird. Here's here's a stat that

536
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you were used to seeing. Clyde Edwards

537
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: Delaire yesterday had more touchdowns than rushing yards. We had

538
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: one rushing touchdown, zero rushing yards. Jerick McKinnon played more snaps.

539
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: I can't figure this out. I don't know. I don't know.

540
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: How are we feeling about c H confused? Like Week one,

541
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: he had a lot of usage early on and then

542
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: it was a blowout, so we could say, oh, they

543
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,239
Speaker 1: start has got pulled. Week two, he had a lot

544
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: of usage early on his and he got stepped on.

545
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: That was an excuse we could use. Week three, it

546
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: was the same thing, though a lot of usage early

547
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: on the second half was a lot of Jerk McKinnon.

548
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: I think it's officially concerning. I do like that he's

549
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: getting usage in the past game and near the goal one,

550
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: but I think right now with the usage, his ceiling

551
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: is being an RB two. It's just it's very strange

552
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: because the production has been there, the usage is very

553
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: all over the place. It's weird because Jerick McKinnon's not

554
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: doing much with his opportunities. It's not like we can

555
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: look at McKinnon and say, hey, man, let's go get

556
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: this guy off the waiver wire. He's really done nothing.

557
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: So it makes me wonder why they're not using Edwards

558
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: layer more another running back where he mosterreed down in Miami.

559
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: Early on, it looked like maybe he was sort of

560
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: taking over the backfield there, maybe he'd get more opportunities

561
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: than Chase Edmonds. Sunday was really nowhere to be found.

562
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: I know we didn't have high expectations for he Most

563
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: he was a late round draft pick if he got

564
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: drafted at all. But what are we thinking three weeks

565
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: in about most dirt and his usage and his potential. Yeah,

566
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: I I don't feel great about any of the Dolphins

567
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: running backs. Most of yesterday did play more snaps. He

568
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: played about the snaps. He had two more carries than

569
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: Edmunds and an extra target, but the two touchdowns went

570
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: to Chase Edmunds. I came away from yesterday thinking that

571
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: Edmunds and most Are at best are flex options right now,

572
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: probably because you want to leave on your bench. I

573
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: drafted most Are in a few spots. Actually had to

574
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: start him in a league. Although I say I had

575
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: to start him in the league, I I started him

576
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: over Remindre Stephenson, and I'm kicking myself for that decision.

577
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm not excited about him, but I'm also scared to

578
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: drop him right now, just because who knows what happens,

579
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: and that Mike McDaniel offense if he gets it going,

580
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: but it's really hard to say that he's a usable

581
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: piece at this point. Dawson Knox, a guy that we

582
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: love coming into this year, had the huge year last year,

583
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: was very touchdown heavy. This year no touchdowns. But more

584
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: importantly for me, Floorial, the target share is kind of

585
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: all over the place because outside of Stefon Diggs, Josh

586
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: Allen is really spreading the football around. We need tight ends.

587
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: Were always looking for tight end help. So how are

588
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: we feeling about the Dawson very worried. I think at

589
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: best he's a low end tighten, one who's very touchdown dependent.

590
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: Like you said, Stefon Diggs is getting the bulk of

591
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 1: the targets there and then like Dawson, Knox is struggling

592
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: to get targets where Gave Davis missed Week two and

593
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: was kind of limited yesterday do the ankle injury. Isaiah

594
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: McKenzie is getting more work. The running backs have been

595
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: heavily involved in the passing game. I think it's very

596
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: much so time to worry about Dawson Knox. I mean,

597
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: I knew that him scoring that same number of touchdowns

598
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: this year might be tough, but I really thought they

599
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: were going to integrate him more into the passing game.

600
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: But it really has been spread out across so many

601
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: options there in Buffalo that it is going to be

602
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: hard to sort of pinpoint when it's going to be

603
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: a Dawson Knox game. Last one or Shot Penny, who

604
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: a lot of folks love, sort of in the middle rounds.

605
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was. I guess he kind

606
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: of fell sort of in that RB dead zone, but

607
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: sort of towards the end of it a little bit.

608
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: We know that in theory the Seahawks wants to run,

609
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: although you made the point that so far Seattle is

610
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: actually throwing the ball at a higher rate. Now you

611
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: know Smith and they did before with Russell Wilson. So

612
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: go figure that one out. Rashott Penny, he's been okay.

613
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: How are we feeling about him? Not great? I think

614
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: he's a flex option. I was one of those people

615
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: who was higher on Penny than much than most And

616
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: yesterday was the great game Skip fir him. It was

617
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: a good matchup. It was a close game throughout. He

618
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: played almost the snaps they had four carries. But he's

619
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: not getting much usage in the passing game at all. Uh,

620
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are passing the ball just way more than anticipated,

621
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: higher than league average, more than the Broncos. Like you said,

622
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: so I think right now, I don't know if I'm

623
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: dropping Penny just yet, but I think he's like a

624
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: flex guy that then I'm hard pressed to start. It

625
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: has to be like a great matchup. The Seahawks through

626
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: the ball forty four times on Sunday. I didn't think

627
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: that Pete Carroll would let Gino Smith do that, but

628
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: apparently they're on the let Gino Cook train right now.

629
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that turns out. With shot Penny

630
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: sort of underwhelming through the first three weeks of the season.

631
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's get some of your top waiver wire

632
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: targets for the week. Florio Chrebor, Lawrence the top the

633
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: quarterback list. He's just been playing really well. Marcus Mariota

634
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: there who can always give you value with his legs,

635
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill who is doing the same, and then Jacoby

636
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: for said because he gets the Falcons next week. If

637
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: you need help in like a super flex or something

638
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: like that, at the running back position, Khalil Herbert, Alexander Madison,

639
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams. We spoke about all of those guys already,

640
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: and then Vermandre Stevenson who's looking like he's taken over,

641
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: and j D McKissick there for Washington. Some wide receivers,

642
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs the top wade receiver there in Green Bay's

643
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: A Jones who's been getting a lot of usage, Michael

644
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: Gallup as a stash, Isaiah Mackenzie, DeVante Parker, Jacobe Myers.

645
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: I know you have to pay attention to Mac Jones

646
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: injury there, Mac Hollins. And then some tight ends David

647
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,479
Speaker 1: and Joeku who's playing great, Tyler Conklin and the rookie

648
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: Jelaney Woods. Yeah, Woods with a couple of touchdowns for

649
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts this past week. And by the way,

650
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: if you want a little bit deeper analysis on some

651
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: waiver wire options, be sure to check out Matt Okada's column.

652
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: You can find that every week at NFL dot com

653
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: slash waiver Wire. Let's talk about some guys though that

654
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: did appear on this list. We talked a little bit

655
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: about Khalil Herbert, I admit that I was not really

656
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: big on the Khalil Herbert train because I thought David

657
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,959
Speaker 1: Montgomery was gonna get a ton of work. But there

658
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: were a lot of other people out there who definitely

659
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: advocated to draft Khalil Herbert. Are Pal Jake Seeley was

660
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: very much on that train as well. So look, I'll

661
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: take the l on this one. Maybe I should have listened,

662
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: because Floria, it looks like Khalil Herbert really is going

663
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: to carve out a decent sized role for himself, even

664
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: I think when Montgomery is back. Yeah, unfortunately if you

665
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: drafted David Montgomery, but hopefully Khalil Herbert is still out

666
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: there on waiver wire snaps. In week three twenty carries uh,

667
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: he had two targets as well, went for a hundred

668
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 1: and sixty over hundred and sixty yards thirty one PPR points.

669
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: You have to love what you got out of Herbert yesterday,

670
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: and he will very much so be a starter if

671
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: David Montgomery misses time. Over to Marcus Mariota, you mentioned

672
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: he's a guy that we sort of love because he

673
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: can get you points with his legs. I don't think

674
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: it's pretty. I don't think it's exciting, but Florio the

675
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: Falcon's offense isn't terrible and some of that is actually

676
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: oh to Mariota getting the ball out since Drake London

677
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts did his thing a little bit yesterday, So

678
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: maybe it's time we stopped sleeping on Mariota. Yeah, he

679
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: doesn't have two thirty passing yards in a game yet

680
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: this season, but he does have rushing touchdowns in two

681
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: of the three and because of that, he scored almost

682
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: sixteen fantasy points in twenty fantasy points in those two games.

683
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: He's never gonna blow the doors off or be a

684
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: top five fantasy quarterback, but he could be one of

685
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: those fringe e streaming options every week just because of

686
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: his legs. And then David in Joku because we always

687
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: want some help at tight end. I will admit that

688
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette has exceeded my expectations so far this season,

689
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: and with a matchup against Atlanta, guys like Marii Cooper

690
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: and David and Jocu feel very much in play. In

691
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: Week four. Yeah, the only tight end who was better

692
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: than Week three was Mark Andrews, and I think in

693
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: Joku he falled out himself like he We know he

694
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: has the talent, he just needs to get the weekly volume.

695
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: So seeing it come his way to the last two games,

696
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: gotta love that. And he's a tight end, so I

697
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: very much still think he's worth taking a shot on

698
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: his upside right now. By the way, you have Tyler

699
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: Conklin on your list of waiver wire tight ends, He's

700
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: the tight end three three right now. I don't think

701
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: the Jets have had a viable fantasy tight end in

702
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 1: my lifetime, and now they've got Tyler Conklin getting like

703
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: eight targets every single game. I can't you know, it

704
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: just kind of stuck up out of nowhere. I just

705
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: shout out to start pal Derek brown Debro for pointing

706
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: that out on Twitter, that the Tyler Conklin right now

707
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: is the tight end three. If you're adding guys, of course,

708
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: that means you probably have to be saying goodbye to

709
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: some guys on your roster. So who for you is

710
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: a player that can be put back in the free

711
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: agent pool? Uh, someone that had a lot of hype

712
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: coming into this year. I think it's Darnell Mooney. And

713
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: if I told you that yesterday Darnell Mooney had eleven targets,

714
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: four catches in twenty seven yards. You'd say that was

715
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: a disappointing week. Those are his numbers on the season,

716
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: the entire season. Like it is bad there, He's justin

717
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: Fields is averaging fifteen past attempts per game. Right now,

718
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: there was quarterbacks, multiple of them yesterday, who had more

719
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: passing attempts in the week than Fields had on the year,

720
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: and three games in. I think we have to just

721
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: say that this is who the Bears are, and really

722
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: you just want their running back and that's it for

723
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: fantasy purposes. I know Adam Rank keeps trying to, you know,

724
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: tell us that they're calling more passing plays. Maybe they are,

725
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: but it's just not translating into what we see on

726
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: the field and soil. Because of that, Darnell Mooney has

727
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: not produced cold commet had I think he had two

728
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: catches yesterday, which is the first two catches of the year.

729
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: It has been just disaster for the Bears passing game

730
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks, first three weeks of the season.

731
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: Maybe he gets better, but not anytime soon. So yeah, pilty,

732
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: time to say goodbye to this. Darniell Mooney also say

733
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: goodbye to Mike Gasicki, who I was surprised to see

734
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: yesterday was still on about rosters on NFL dot Com.

735
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: That very much surprised me. And he had the one

736
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: halfway decent week. Week one, he was in order to

737
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: be found. Week two he had a few targets and

738
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: put together a decent game. Week three he went back

739
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 1: to being persona on Garta. I think there were eight

740
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: plays in which he was a blocker in nine plays

741
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: on which he ran rounds, or maybe it was flipped

742
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: either way, the point being he's just not involved as

743
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: much in the passing game. It's very much going through

744
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle at Tyreek Khill, even with a little River

745
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: Craycraft thrown in there, it seems, but Mike Gasicki at

746
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: this point, even in a world Floria where we need

747
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 1: tight ends, Mike Gasicki, as the kids say, he ain't it. Yeah,

748
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: it is way too funneled of a passing attack there

749
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: with with Waddle and Hill, and and because I keep

750
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: learning how to play tight end and learning how to

751
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: block right and stuff, it's just not worth the headache.

752
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: So one that I have a question about, and I

753
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: put this out on Twitter about Allen Robinson because it

754
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: just has not been great for him the first three

755
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. We talked a lot about that.

756
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 1: Week one, then we two he scored a touchdown, maybe

757
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: should have had two touchdowns. Week three he went back

758
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: to being on a milk carton again. So I asked

759
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: the question, is Allen Robinson droppable? Seventy two point two

760
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: percent of people who responded said yes, he is. The

761
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: other twenty seven point it said no, he is not.

762
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: But yesterday it was a lot of ben scronic. Robinson

763
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: dropped the pass near the goal line. He just looked

764
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: kind of, I don't know, uninterested. At times, Floria, we

765
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: all had high hopes for him. He was drafted I

766
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: think by the end of draft season, probably pushed up

767
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: to the fifth or sixth round. Are we ready to

768
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: give up on him just yet? Uh? My heart wants

769
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: to be, But no, I guess my brain wants to

770
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: me even my heart won't allow me to be. Uh

771
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: like I you look at what he's done so far

772
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: this year to three games, target share, air yards share,

773
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: catch rate, air yards per target yards per route. They're

774
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: all worse than they've been in the last four seasons.

775
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: Even worse than they were last year. I think you

776
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: mentioned him, but I don't know. Markets I'm just I'm

777
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: hesitant to drop him just yet. I want to give

778
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: him at least another week or so. But but what's

779
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: most concerning to me is what you said, like he

780
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: looks uninterested out there, and like I know we said

781
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: this last year in Chicago when we were like, it's

782
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: because he doesn't like the system and he didn't want

783
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: to play on the franchise tag. He's in a great

784
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 1: system now were they the best quarterback he's played with,

785
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: getting paid a bunch of money and he still looks uninterested.

786
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: That is that is very concerned. I can't give up

787
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: on him. I can't do it, but it's it's hard

788
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: right now. It's he is unplayable until further notice because

789
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: we know Cooper Cup is gonna get his Tyler Higbie

790
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: is working in and like I said, Ben Scarronick has

791
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: had a couple of games where he's getting a decent

792
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: target share. So until I see more out of Robinson,

793
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: I can't play him. But I'm with you, I can't

794
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: drop him either. He's too talented. The offense as a

795
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: whole has so much potential that I just I can't

796
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: do it right now, so I'm holding onto him and

797
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: I may get burned by it. This is it is

798
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: he Kenny Golladay, just on a better team. That's fear.

799
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: I hope it's I hope it's not bad bad, because

800
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay is is unplayable, He's unrosterable in fantasy, and

801
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: the Giants, he's he's an anchor on the Giants offense.

802
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: In the organization at least, Allen Robinson ostensibly still has

803
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: some value. So I don't I don't want to get

804
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,479
Speaker 1: that bad. Please, please don't let it be that bad.

805
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: Doing something new this week, would like to call the

806
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: Madden Movers. Taking a look at the Madden rankings that

807
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: come out. They're updated every single week, and two of

808
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: last week's big movers are playing in tonight's Monday Night

809
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: football game. Cowboys kicker Brett maher I was a plus

810
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: four overall. Giants wide receiver David Sills moved up one

811
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: in his rankings, and like I said, they both play

812
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: on Monday Night. So I decided to take that and

813
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: we can talk about which guys we think are going

814
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: to make big moves coming up. This week after what

815
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: we saw on Sunday. So for you who gets a

816
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: big boost in his Madden rating, I went with the

817
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 1: cheap code way of just taking rookies who are usually

818
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: undervalued early on. But it's Crystal Lavea for me. I

819
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: know he's a seventy six in the game. This guy

820
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: needs to be in the eighties, maybe even higher. Uh

821
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: last week three hundred and seven air yards. He broke

822
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: Twitter with that, a hundred and eighty two. This past week,

823
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: when Jamis Winston feels pressure, he just heaves it down

824
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: field to Crystal Lava. Uh. Thirteen targets, nine catches, a

825
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: hundred forty seven yards Marcus. This is the second week

826
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: he's been their top target, which has been kind of questioning.

827
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 1: At what point do we value him as the top

828
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: guy and not Michael Thomas. That is a good question.

829
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: I know Thomas a little bit banged up. I think

830
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: he's got a foot issue. But either way, Cristal Lava

831
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: very much a part of the passing game, and because

832
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: Jamis likes to throw those yolo balls downfield, targets are

833
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: always going to be available for him. So I'm gonna

834
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: go mac Hollands and he's a seventy overall. I don't

835
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: expect some major boost. I'm not gonna sit here and

836
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: tell you that mcollins needs to be in the eighties.

837
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: This is the guy who's been around the league a

838
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: little bit and really has never carved out a true

839
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: role for himself. But the last two weeks he's done

840
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: some nice things. Obviously, had the huge game on Sunday

841
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 1: for the Raiders in that loss to Tennessee, but even

842
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: the week before had eighty receiving yards. Now, what happens

843
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: to mc hollands once hard to renfro is healthy and back,

844
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: and maybe they get Davante Adams some more targets. Who knows,

845
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: But at least for the last couple of weeks, mc

846
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: collins doing some things there in Las Vegas. I'll ask

847
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: you this. I know he's available obviously pretty much in

848
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: every league. I think on the waiver wire if you

849
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: were playing, would you spend a lot of fab on him?

850
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: Is it worth kind of blowing your fab budget. Maybe

851
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: not blowing your fab budget, but spending a good chunk

852
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: on mac hollands. I don't think so. Because of of

853
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfroll's ultimate return when he comes back I think

854
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: Hollins is that best fourth in the target and pack

855
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: and order, but I did right now, if you're in

856
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: a deeper league or something like that, go out and

857
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: take a flyer on him, just in case hunters run from.

858
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: This is more time. We're just in case, for whatever

859
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: weird reason, it ends up becoming a thing. I don't

860
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: think it will long term, but you know, stranger things

861
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: have happened. So that is it. We are done. We

862
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football show.

863
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: You know the drill. Tell to friends, to tell to friends,

864
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: rate review and remember give a hundred percent, and everything

865
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: you do unless you're donating blood, be safe. To take

866
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: care of yourselves, and we'll talk to you on Wednesday.

867
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: I'm coming. I'm co
