1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: All right. Coming up on NFL Fantasy Live, we're gonna

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: answer your fantasy genius questions and is it time to

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: bench Calvin Johnson. Our experts are gonna wig in Molly

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: FAPs speaking of benching last week, fat you told us

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: to sit e line Man and he had just fifteen

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: Fantasy points? Are you sitting in this week? Well to

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: find out that answer and more stick around for my

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: starts and sits. That's a teez. Marcus, Elliott, what you got? Thanks,

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Molly Popcoise hot shot. We'll let you know which charges

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: receivers you should probably be starting over. Keenan Allen a guy,

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: get it. Marcus has been pretty middling in mediocre when

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: we debate, but he's gonna bounce back, and we're gonna

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: talk about bounce back players when NFL Fantasy Live starts,

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: which is right now. Yeah, Hello everybody, and welcome to

15
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Life presented by BOS. I'm James Go alongside

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano and Elliott Harrison. We're gonna hear from Molly Caerman,

17
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant in just a moment. Be sure to follow

18
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: us on Twitter at NFL Fantasy. But we start today

19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: with news regarding Adrian Peterson, the Vikings running back, was

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: in court Wednesday in relation to charges of reckless or

21
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: negligent injury to a child. His trial date is tentatively

22
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: sent forward December one. Peterson is currently on the Exempt

23
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: Commissioner's permission list, requiring him to stay away from all

24
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: team activities while dealing with his legal proceedings. With his

25
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: trial date against tentatively set for early December, don't plan

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: on seeing Peterson back with the Vikings until at least

27
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: week fourteen, if at all this season. All right, we

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: move on. We turned to the Vikings opponent this week,

29
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: the Lions. They got this guy. I know. I think

30
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: his name is Megatron. I think you may have heard

31
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: he's pretty good. He's pretty good, although not recently, and

32
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: it was The Detroit Free Press is putting that Calvin

33
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: Johnson is dealing with the high ankle sprain and hopes

34
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: to play Sunday, and that he's not frustrated with his

35
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: recent decoy role. I'm not sure what's worse here, a

36
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: high ankle sprain or the fact that Megatron, of all people,

37
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: is a decoy out there. Well, if you've got golden tape,

38
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: you like this whole situation with Calvin Johnson being a

39
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: decoy because his numbers have certainly risen. But Elliott, I

40
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: never thought i'd say this right now. Even if Calvin

41
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: Johnson is active for the Lions, that doesn't necessarily mean

42
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: he should be active in your fantasy team. I know

43
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: that hurts you to say, because you held my hand

44
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: as you were saying, well, I agree with you, and

45
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: just taking this point a bit further. If you're the Lions,

46
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: why play him? If you if you consider yourself a

47
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: contender in the NFC North in the last two years,

48
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: you've faded down the stretch. Why not have your best

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: player be fully healthy and side him until he gets there.

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: You know, I don't understand playing him hurt It doesn't

51
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: make sense to me. To me, it seems like they

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: have enough weapons on the offensive side of the ball,

53
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: whether we're talking about Matt Stafford, you add Golden Tate,

54
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush, Joyce Bill obviously dealing with his concussion issues.

55
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: But they've got enough talent on the offensive side of

56
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: the ball to sustain them. Don't you think even without

57
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson. Well, Calvin Johnson is probably a gamer two

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: and he wants to get in there if you can

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: be so we'll see what happens. Reggie Bush has got

60
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: to pick it up to there you go, all right?

61
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: Staying in Detroit, where Pro Bowl kicker Matt Trador signed

62
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: a one year deal with the Lions Tuesday, this after

63
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: Denver surprisingly cut him last week. Here's a question, better

64
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: pick up Matt Prator or his replacement in Denver, Brandon

65
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: McManus Trader. Prador is one of the best kickers, if

66
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: not the best kicker in the National Football League this

67
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: side of Stephen Gostkowski. I'd pick him up in all

68
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: my leagues. This is a very explosive offense for the Lions,

69
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: and now he gets to play half of his games.

70
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: And not only that, but the Lions drives bogged down

71
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: a lot, which means you're settling for field goals. How

72
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: often does Denverse drives bogged and get a lot of

73
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: extra points with the Broncos but not field goals? How

74
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: do you get fantasy points forty and fifty yard kicks?

75
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: Prator has got a big leg to very good point.

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: All right, Let's talk about another big time wide receiver,

77
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: A J. Green. Uh. A J. Green owners should listen

78
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: up on Wednesday, Green reportedly left the practice field on

79
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: a golf cart after aggravating his toe injury and injury

80
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: that's been plaguing him all year. If Green plays, are

81
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: we worried about his production as well like we saw

82
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: with Megatron. Yeah, I mean I'm worried about him. You know,

83
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: now Carolina who they're playing. I don't really trust Carolina's secondary.

84
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: I don't think that's their strength on defense. But I

85
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: don't know that, you said a J. Green. Yeah, If

86
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Green is suddenly a risk and he doesn't play this week,

87
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: pick up Mohammed Sanu. He will be a major, major

88
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: sleeper because Carolina is back that they're just not good

89
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: this season. Very good point. Alright, time now to bring

90
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: the rest of our fantasy crew. Molly Carrom and Marcus

91
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: Grant join us now with more. James, thank you so much,

92
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: and Marcus, let's take a look at the waiver wire here.

93
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: Let's do that. Some guys to pick up that are

94
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: available in or more of Lee eggs in. We're gonna

95
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: begin with Justin Hunter. He had a fantastic game against

96
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: the Browns, but he seems to be on this list

97
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: every week. Why are people not picking him up? But

98
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: because he's been inconsistent. We had a lot of expectations

99
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: for Justin Hunter start of the year and it just

100
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: hasn't really worked out for him. He's been you know,

101
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: you look at the board here, you look at some

102
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: of the guys that are available. I mean, he's owned

103
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: in less than fifty pc of leagues. And last week

104
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: was nice. Know, Charlie Whitehurst comes in after Jake Locker

105
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: goes down with an injury, and Justin Hunter becomes a

106
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: big play guy. This is not somebody you're starting every

107
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: single week, but you gotta like what he can offer

108
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: in that offense as the guy had had deep sleeper potential.

109
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: And regardless of who the quarterback games, I think you're

110
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: gonna start to see the Titans get him more involved

111
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: in what they do. At his first TV of the

112
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: season last week. In a great matchup this week against Jacksonville. Now,

113
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: Eli Manning is tenth amongst quarterbacks overall and he gets

114
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 1: Philly this week, and this appears to be a better

115
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: matchup than we think. Absolutely it is. The Eagles struggled defensively,

116
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: we saw what Austin Davis was able to do. Then

117
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: last week with the Rams and I've been saying it

118
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Eli is getting better. You

119
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: watch him every single week, and he's starting to pick

120
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: up what Ben McAdoo wants to do in that West

121
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: Coast offense. A lot of safe short throws. Most of

122
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: the throws he makes are around seven or eight yards

123
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage. It's getting better and the

124
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: numbers are improving. And this is a week I think

125
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: he really picks it up, maybe puts up, maybe he

126
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: gets close. I love it. You hear that, fat is

127
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: Eli getting better? Austin Davis to Brian Quickly've been hearing

128
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: that a lot. Twenty points last week. Now. He's been consistent.

129
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: He has been absolutely consistent. It's a guy that we

130
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: didn't talk about at the start of the year. We

131
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: were trying to figure out this missmash of Rams receivers.

132
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: It was Tavon Austin, it was maybe Kenny Brent, but

133
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: Brian Cuik has come out of nowhere. He's been the

134
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: most consistent pass catcher in that offense. And at this

135
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: point you can't ignore the guy. You gotta get him

136
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: when you're roster, and you gotta start pluging him in

137
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: your lineup weekly. Another guy who's been fairly consistent here

138
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: is Joyne Allen the Colts Titan, a receiving t D

139
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: and five of his last six games, and he has

140
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in Fantasy one Andrew Luck. Listen, folks,

141
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: we need to have a heart to heart. We we

142
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: keep telling you about Dwayne Allen, and at some point

143
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna start to believe. This guy is getting in

144
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: the end zone a receiving touchdown in five of the

145
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: last six games. They're using him around the goal line,

146
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: and in a season where it's hard to figure out

147
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: tight ends, this guy has been as consistent as they come.

148
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: If he hit those big plays like you see right there,

149
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: it's absolute money go and I don't know how to

150
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: say it. He's a great play. Okay, So those are

151
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: the guys to add the top ten ads. Let's take

152
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: a look now at the top ten drops here on

153
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com and Marcus. We look at some names here,

154
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 1: Donald Brown, Nile Davis, Terence West, Isaiah Crowell, a bunch

155
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: of a running backs here, Chris Johnson, Larry Dennell is

156
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: a drop. He was just an AD. Matt Asiata was

157
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: just an AD. We need to get into this. We

158
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: need to make sense of this, right, Um, we're not

159
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: very loyal here, and let's get into Donald Brown now.

160
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: So he's been having a tough time. Ryan Matthews is

161
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: coming back, and now there's this guy, Brandon Oliver. What

162
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: should we get rid of him? Yeah, it's time to

163
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: say goodbye. When when the injuries happened in the backfield,

164
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews went out, Danny Woodhead was lost for the year,

165
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: it looked like Donald Brown was going to be the guy.

166
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: But even in a good matchups, he's really struggled. He's

167
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: not making people miss. He's been a guy who's about

168
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: two yards to carry and that's kind of been about it.

169
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, Ryan Matthews is going to be

170
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: back soon. Brandon Oliver has looked fantastic so far. Donald

171
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: Brown at this point it has very little fantasy relavant

172
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: and unfortunately had the concussion last week. Now, Toby Gerhard

173
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: has really struggled to stay healthy. In his snaps, I've

174
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: decreased each week. And now there's these guys shoe Lace

175
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: and Storm. What's going on here? Shoelace and Storm. It's

176
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: like a low rank comic book right now. But that's

177
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: kind of how things have gone in Jackson. But we

178
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: had such high expectations for Toby Gearhart. He was going

179
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: to be the workhorse back. He hasn't produced. The offensive

180
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: line has been bad, as you mentioned, he's been banged

181
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: up a little bit. And last week we saw Toby Gerhart,

182
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: Storm Johnson, Denard Robinson all had about equal touches in

183
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: that backfield. So it's time this point to say, look,

184
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: we we swung and missed on Toby Gearhart. It's it's

185
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: fine to admit that you just got to move on

186
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: and find somebody new. Yeah, the first step is admitting, right.

187
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: So there's this guy c J two K and at

188
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: this point he's really the weaker part of this time

189
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: share with Chris Ivory absolutely, And you know, we wondered

190
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: how things were gonna go this year, and Chris Johnson

191
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: has not looked particularly good. Chris Ivy is running, Ivory

192
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: is running hard, He's been much more productive. And Chris

193
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: Johnson's touches have gone down just about every week throughout

194
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: the season and right now he's lucky to get seven

195
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: or eight touches a game. He's not going to be

196
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: productive with that unless he somehow breaks a big run,

197
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: but you can't count on that time for Chris Johnson

198
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: to certainly have a spot on your bench, if not

199
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire. Austin Davis has really been a

200
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: Fantasy surprise, and he's been slinging it around, but he

201
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: doesn't appear to beginning the ball to Tavon Austin, and

202
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't really seem to be a part of the

203
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: game plan at this point. He really doesn't table On

204
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: Austin this year has five carries, which that's one thing,

205
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: that's all right, but six targets. That's six targets for

206
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: the entire there's no bueno. At some point we thought

207
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: this guy was gonna be a breakout, maybe another Percy

208
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: Harvin type guy. It just hasn't worked out. We've talked

209
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: about Brian Quick being so good. A lot of it

210
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: has come at Tavon Austin's expense. Good stuff, Marcus, You

211
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: and I stayed for the nightcap later, absolutely all right,

00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: many of those guys will bounce back for the rest

219
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: and have you been slacking on those waiver wire pickups?

220

00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: lot of damn games in our league to get a

229
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: player like that. At that pig watching the Giants play,

Speaker 1: All new Finding Giants Thursday at midnight Eastern. After the

236
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: Colts Texans game. Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live, and

237
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna go in depth on some bounce back players.

238
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: But let's start with those players that have bounced back

239
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: from some early struggles this season and Elliott. We're gonna

240
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: begin with Antonio Gates. He still seems to be Philip

241
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: Rivers go to guy in money time and he's got

242
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: a great matchup this week against the Raiders. And you

243
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: have to apologize or I'll have to apologize if I

244
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: don't sound overly confident here because I have no idea

245
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: how Antonio Gates is getting open, no clue. I've watched

246
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: every Charger snap this year, every game, and I can't

247
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: figure it out. He's slow, he doesn't look shifty, but

248
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, he's got great hands, and he

249
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: knows how to position his body and even right there

250
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: just very subtle turnout. Notice how he blocks out the

251
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: defender with his wide body and the defenders just can't

252
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: play through him. And then when you have hands like that,

253
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: I mean, fellis, what are you gonna do? I hear

254
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: a rumor that I used to play basketball's I think

255
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: that's true. I never heard that. Ryan Fitzpatrick with to Harvard.

256
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: But I think you said the key thing trust. He's

257
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: got Philip Rivers trust, and that's why I trust him

258
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: to stay with the bounceback mole. I started him last week.

259
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep starting him. Yeah. We saw his second

260
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: multi TV game and that's even getting a double team there, Marcus.

261
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey had some early struggles, but he seems to

262
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: be in every week RV one again at this point. Absolutely,

263
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: and he had some tough matchups at the beginning of

264
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: the year that certainly impacted him a little bit. But

265
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: the whole time, the guy was running hard, he was

266
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: playing well, and this week I think it continues against Miami.

267
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: The Dolphins run defense is middle of the pack. They

268
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: got dashed by Nile Davis a couple of weeks ago.

269
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey, I think it's as good as now, Davis says.

270
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey is a more talented back and I think

271
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: he puts up some big numbers again. Yeah, this has

272
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: the potential to be a very favorable matchup, and so

273
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: does this next one. To Marius Thomas in Floigo last week,

274
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: they're fab did he gets the Jets this week? What

275
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: a great matchup in Damarius boy, you want to break

276
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: out of a slump, go for over two yards and

277
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: about you know, twenty five Fantasy points. Peyton Manning back

278
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: in sync with da Marius Thomas. And this is a

279
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: guy right now who he is what we thought he was.

280
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: He is an elite wide receiver. As long as Peyton

281
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: Manning is throwing him the football, he needs to be

282
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: in your starting lineup. Despite the fact that the slow

283
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: start was a bit of a disappointment, but again he

284
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: made up for it in week five. And you are

285
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: who we thought you were. A Hall of Fame all right,

286
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: players that have already bounced back to players that haven't

287
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: yet bounced back. So guys, who do we think is

288
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: going to turn around? And let's go back to the

289
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: Chargers with Keenan Allen. He gets the matchup we talked

290
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: about earlier the Raiders this week. You think you think

291
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna get it done. Yeah, but I won't even

292
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: look long view here, Molly. I like Keenan Allen because

293
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: again watching the Chargers this year, he gets all the attention.

294
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: But now that Eddie Royal has proven that, hey, I

295
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: can make place, Malcolm Floyd has been the big one

296
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: Marcus On, you're high on him. When you have guys

297
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: like that An Sllery parts I like to call him,

298
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: that can make plays, then guess what, Keenan Allen thinks,

299
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna open up for him. And not only that,

300
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: the Charger state committed to the running game even when

301
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: it's not working, and that's really important because you can

302
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: get play action. Keen Allen would have had a big

303
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: touchdown last week, but Philip Rivers just under threw the ball.

304
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: Is about the only bad throw Philip Rivers has made.

305
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: All yeah, that's just in. The Chargers are legit. Okay,

306
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: let's all have a collective side relief here. Jimmy Graham

307
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: will be okay, and he has two weeks to recover here.

308
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: Fact exactly, that's the good news is that the Saints

309
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: have a bye this week, which means that Graham gets

310
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: extra time to recover from that injury. I would honestly

311
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: by low on him right now. If you've got an

312
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: owner out there with Jimmy Graham who is frustrated by him,

313
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: make an offer for him. Go get him right now,

314
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: because at the end of the season, he's gonna have

315
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: two Fantasy points and he's gonna put up great numbers

316
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: in that offense. Sorry, guys, I'm not trading him. Marcus

317
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: t l hell and we move on to the Colts.

318
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: Both him and Reggie Wayne saw a team high twelve targets.

319
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: What's the situation here? Hilton's numbers actually aren't bad. The

320
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: problem for fantasy owners is that he hasn't found the

321
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: end zone yet. But you look at what he's done.

322
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: He's fifth in the NFL and targets. He is ninth

323
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: in receiving yards. The only problem he just hasn't found

324
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: the painted area. But the way they're throwing the ball

325
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: to him, the way he's been involved in that offense.

326
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: This isn't like Hakeem Nicks zero touchdown year last year

327
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: where they just couldn't get him to football. They're getting

328
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: it to t Y Hilton. So it's just a matter

329
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: of time before he breaks through and gets in the

330
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: end zone. Be patient, things will get better. Marcus could

331
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: have just left at it. He's not a Knicks and

332
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: we had some angry Percy Harvin owners nullified by penalties.

333
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: What's going on here? Well, I tell you I was

334
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,239
Speaker 1: worried about my dynasty team. Linda Evans Dynasty when Percy

335
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: I just could not get scores. But I'll tell you what,

336
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: look at this. Look how open he is on this play.

337
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: This was the result of a beautiful route that he ran.

338
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: As long as he keeps getting open like that, they're

339
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: gonna get him the ball. And not only that, Neil

340
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: Scene knows that Harvon got jipped out of three touchdowns.

341
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: Do you think they're not going to try to get

342
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: him a score. And it's easy to get Harvard to

343
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: score because he can play on the slot, he can

344
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: play on the end, he can run the ball. It's

345
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: not like trying to force the ball to Larry Fitzgerald.

346
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: It's a completely different situation. All right. So those are

347
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: the guys that have bounced back, are going to bounce back.

348
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: But what about some players that will not this season? Well,

349
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: you'll have to check out NFL now to find out

350
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: who these guys are. We'll be talking about that. But

351
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: right now, let's send it to Mr Rank for some

352
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: Week six sleepers. Adam everybody, Adam Rank here with your

353
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: list of Week six sleepers. For the full deal, go

354
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: check it out online. But right now, I'm gonna give

355
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: you three right here, right now. But here's a little

356
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: less conversation, a little more sleepers, and we will start

357
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: with Brandon Oliver. And I understand it might seem a

358
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: little bit silly. He'd be like, Hey, remember that running

359
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: back you smash the Jets for thirty fantasy points. Yeah,

360
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: he's my sleeper this week. But look, don't harangue me.

361
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you watch the afternoon games. I

362
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: know some of you on the East Coast like to

363
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: check out after the early games. But if you were

364
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: able to claim Oliver on waivers this week, make sure

365
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: he's in your linement because, well, the Raiders, that's it.

366
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: They play the Raiders. As LT told me himself, he said,

367
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: Adam never name drop and there's always something special about

368
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: Raiders week in San Diego, and he should know. We

369
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: move on to receiver, where Odell Beckham Jr. Has a

370
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: merge as a nice sleeper option. Boy, does he like

371
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: to make an entrance or what? Duckham announce his presence

372
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: with forty or four yards and a touchdown against the Falcons.

373
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: But the thing that really caught my eye was his speed.

374
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 1: The way he ran past the Falcons like they were

375
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: standing still, which, well, falcons kind of always do that

376
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: on defensive. But next up are the Eagles, who have

377
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: been very generous to fantasy receivers. I expect Beckham to

378
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: run past the Eagles like Ocean's guys carried those sacks

379
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: of money past Benedict's crew. But seriously, how did they

380
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: get down into the vault? And finally, who else needs

381
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: a tight end? Yeah? You and me both, fantasy friends,

382
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: You and me both. That's why I've looked to Owen Daniels.

383
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: The matchup against the box is pretty good, but Daniels

384
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: has been a very impressive sense of departure of Dennis Pitta.

385
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: His familiarity in Gary kubi X offense has been vital,

386
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: and he's been targeted at least five times in four

387
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: of his last five games this year. And I'd like

388
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: to thank you all for your time. Look, we go

389
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: way back, and I owe you for the thing with

390
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: the guy in the place, and I'll never forget it.

391
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: If you need more sleepers, be sure to check out

392
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash ranks eleven. All right, I'll see

393
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: you when I see you. Thanks ranks. On the flip

394
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: side homes, the running back position has been hard to

395
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: predict this year. Luckily the Guru Michael Fabiano is here

396
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: to help. It's almost time to unveil his list of

397

00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: here is a question related to that team, and each

412
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: of our fantasy experts will then answer it on the spot.

413
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: They don't know what the questions are in advanced so

414
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: there's a great chance we're gonna look like idiots here, guys,

415
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: are you guys ready? Sure, let's do it. Let's do it.

416
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: Elliott my man here like first, I like that transition idiots,

417
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: way to motivate. There you go, What do you got

418
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: forest pal panthers? I know this is gonna be a

419
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: running backs questions, so forget that one. Not answering panthers

420
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: running back. I'm done with great person All right, here

421
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: we go. How about the period? Look at this, there's

422
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: a n show in their path. I'm like, oh, we

423
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: got taped in here. Just hang on, gosh, no kidding.

424
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: All right, Rob Gronkowski has a TV and four out

425
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: of five games. When does the trend end? You know

426
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna tell you right now? Are you ready

427
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: for this? I think the trend ends this week. You know,

428
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots had a very emotional game against the Cincinnati

429
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: Bengals that came out angry. But honestly, when is the

430
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 1: Patriots offense played good all season? Anyone played pretty well

431
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: against the Bengals one week. Now. You can talk about

432
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: the points against the Vikings, but at the end of

433
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: the day the Vikings game, Matt Castle gave him four turnovers.

434
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: They were playing on the Viking side the field, the

435
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: whole game the right time. The offenses look functional, and

436
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: you're talking to a Rob Gronkowski owner here. I'm not

437
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: trusting him. I still trust growing just because look at

438
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: the other targets they have in that offen. Yes there's

439
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: Julian Edelwyn, but they're still trying to fit guarre out

440
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: what to do on the outside. Kimball Tompkins has gone,

441
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Dobson is kind of a no show most weeks.

442
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: Grock is the most consistent thing they have there, and

443
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: he's getting more snaps. I think that helps. That's the

444
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: big thing. Maybe he doesn't score touchdown every week, but

445
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: he's going to be productive. Just remember the last touchdown

446
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: before the Cincinnati game was from Jimmy Garoppolo and complete

447
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: garbage time where Carson Palmer traditionally lived about that. Plus,

448
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: I love the fact that they're introducing now Timothy right

449
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: into that conversation. Is they got in the trade in

450
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: the logan Mankins, no doubt about it all right? Uh

451
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: Marcus yourrop it's deep deep, Sandy Ago super Is this

452
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: question going to be related to Dan Foults. Let's see,

453
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: hopefully right a little? Can you continue to trust Eddie

454
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: Royal and Malcolm Floyd over Keenan Allen. I would say,

455
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: of the two of those guys, I trust Malcolm Floyd

456
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more than I trust Eddie Royal because

457
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: we've seen how that movie ends. But Malcolm Floyd is

458
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: a guy who he is a deep threat. He's a

459
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: big play guy. I mean, one of the greatest all

460
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: the time when it comes to yards per reception. I

461
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: mean he's a guy who's good for twenty to twenty

462
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: five yards per catch. Philip Rivers has been fantastic. He's

463
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: looking at Floyd as a deep threat, and I think

464
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: he's a guy who maybe you're not starting him every

465
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: single week, but certainly has a flex play in matchup situations.

466
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: I like Milcol Floyd because Keenan Allen is getting doubled,

467
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: he's not getting open. They're having a tough time getting

468
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: him the football. So I'm gonna put you on record

469
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: of your market. Okay, you like Malcolm Floyd more than

470
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen for the rest of the year. Yes, yeah.

471
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: Right now, like everybody has locked in on Keena Allen,

472
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: everybody is locking in on him, and Antonio Gates is

473
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: getting catches. Malcolm Floyd is getting down the field, and

474
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: we've seen Eddie Royal. I just I'm scared. I'm scared. Well,

475
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: let's see what he does against the Raiders this week.

476
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: That's really good matchup. One of the most popular terms

477
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: in all fantasy A lot of mouths to feed and

478
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: in that offense there with michaelcoy San Diego does seem

479
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: like especially because Antonio Gates is getting so many touchdowns. Now,

480
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: you're right, I mean I think he might be right. Uh.

481
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: I hate to say it because you know, can you

482
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: an Allen's froll call and all that? Yeah, no, you

483
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: might press. It appears to be in effect. Very good point.

484
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm ready for another home Michael Fabiano my turn? Yes,

485
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: who do I want to get out of here? Uh No,

486
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that one Houston game. Uh well,

487
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: first off, I want to get Gino Smith. Thank you,

488
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I appreciate that. All right, let's

489
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: see what kind of crazy question they got in here

490
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: for the men in Green. Where will the Jets backfield

491
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: rank in fantasy points at the end of the season.

492
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: That's pretty interesting in fantasy points. They've got two good backs. Well,

493
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: Chris Ivor I guess is the best back, and that's

494
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: the guy that I would actually play this week. Chris

495
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: Johnson is being dropped in a lot of fantasy he

496
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: really is. But in terms of a duo, you're still

497
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: looking at one of the better fantasy backfields in the

498
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: National Football League because most teams only have that one guy,

499
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: right The Cowboys have de Marco Murray, the Texas have

500
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: Arian Foster. So if one of these guys goes down,

501
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: the other one picks it up, his value increases. Let

502
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: me put this on the table here, Gino, I'm gonna

503
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: go with they'll finish as a top ten fantasy backfield

504
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: only because you're talking about two players and they're combined points.

505
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: Can you give that helmet to Gino real quick? Yeah?

506
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: Right when he could take it? Hold on, I just

507
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: wanted to pick it off. There you go. Hey, you're

508
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: saying you mentioned that a lot of owners are dropping

509
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. We're seeing that trend on NFL dot com. Leagues,

510
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: would you advocated what it depends on my backfield depth?

511
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: To be quite honest with you, if I have backfield depth,

512
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: I dropped him for Brandon Oliver right now. I'll tell

513
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: you that already did it? There you go? All right,

514
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: let me pick huh? How about it? Guys? What do

515
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: you say? What do you say? What do you say?

516
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: I feel I feel bad because Adam Rink's not here.

517
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: But how about this the chic and go bear? Where

518
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: is that question? Here? We go? Alright, they really get

519
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: him taped in there? Good? Really, I'm fighting my own No,

520
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: it's over here. How about this? Where will Matt Forte

521
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: finish among running backs in Fantasy points? For? It's a

522
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: good questions, good, good question. I'm gonna go ahead and

523
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: say he's going to finish in the top five? That

524
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: is that too? Is that not bold enough? Is that

525
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: not bold enough? I don't you know? The thing is

526
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: he's gotten off to a slow star. Um he has

527
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: not lately. Well, Listen, if you look at the first

528
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: couple of weeks in the season, he got off to

529
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of slow star. He's getting a lot

530
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: more touches now in the past couple of weeks, and

531
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: in that offense, it truly is a special offense that

532
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: Mark Trustman's got going to Chicago. It's hard not to

533
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: think that Matt Forte won't emerge as a top five

534
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: running back maybe a top five player in all of

535
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: fantasy football. There's a lot of trust that I have

536
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: in Chicago in that offense. Jake Cutler, who has been

537
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: in real life, uh so so yeah, wouldn't you say

538
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: Elliott in fantasy the guys stun Yeah, just real quick.

539
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: I think the Bill's defense in Week one, then he

540
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: faced the Jets defense. Those are defenses for running back

541
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: to go against. Let's see what he does against Atlanta.

542
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: He could go for twenty points and don't look at it.

543
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: Don't look at just as rushing attempts, the targets are

544
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: going up as well, to twelve targets last week. Actually

545
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: finishes third among running backs, are among all of us

546
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: among running backs. The end of the year, he'll be third.

547
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: There you go, U
