1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive Home of the Black and Goal

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Lully. He

3
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: is Matt Williamson. This is to drive on Steelers Nation

4
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: Radio and it's time where the Fantasy Football Focus and

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: Matt Our DFS lineup. Looking pretty good right now, we

6
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: should finish in the money. We're in the money right now.

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: We're number two seventy eight. But we still have Alvin

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: Kamara to go tonight, which is which is nice. Um

9
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: we had Yeah, we had justin Fields in the lineup,

10
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: which certainly helped. He had forty five point seven two points.

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: How many people finished in the money without him? Probably

12
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: not many. You could have done a lineup probably this

13
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: week that included Fields, Davante Adams, Mixing, mixing, I mean

14
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: you could probably finagle that money wise just those three guys.

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: Those three guys got you in the money, right and

16
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: pick any defense anything right and you'd have been fine. Yeah,

17
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: mixing in Fields, that's crazy. And yeah, so uh we

18
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: had Fields was owned to twenty three point eight percent

19
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: of the leagues. That's percentage. Yeah, not complete, still pretty

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: good as forty point seven two points next week and

21
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: he will not know he was just ridiculous dollars. Are

22
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: you kidding me? He's gonna be almost I'll bet you

23
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: he's next week. He is a he's a seven thousand

24
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: dollar quarterback next week. I mean he's had what three

25
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: or four Fantasy weeks in a row of being right

26
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: at the top. Yeah, and just set the league record

27
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: for rushing yards by quarterback in a single game. I

28
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: think touchdowns. Yeah. Yeah, he only threw for like a

29
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: hundred twenty yards, but he had three touchdown passes. We

30
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: had er in the game eighteen point four percent ownership,

31
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,639
Speaker 1: twenty five point one points out of r at hundred.

32
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: He was worth. He didn't get the flame on this.

33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: He scored twenty five points and didn't get the little

34
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: flame emotion. Might trust him as much as any back

35
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: in the league week the week. All he does score

36
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: touchdowns and if they're losing, he catches a ton of paths,

37
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, like he's he's so game script proof, it's perfect.

38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: We had Chris Gobwin at six and that was seventeen

39
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: point four percent ownership. He only got his ten point seven. Yeah,

40
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: that was not great. Seven for thirty six. Uh, we

41
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: had I had to make a late change because in

42
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: the situation with DeMarcus Robinson tonight, he was he's questionable

43
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: for that game. I didn't want to send have us

44
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: to get it take a zero there. So I looked

45
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: at and we talked about this guy. Uh, but I

46
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: put z A Jones in the lineup at forty bucks.

47
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: He got us nine points five catches for forty yards. Yeah,

48
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: he was owned his six point five percent, and he

49
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: should be in leagues. I mean, he's he's usable. We

50
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: had a'm On St Brown at twenty seven point six

51
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: percent ownership and sixty six d five catchers for fifty

52
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: fifty four catches for fifty five yards down week for

53
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: for him, that game was a fantasy waste Land fifteen

54
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: nine game man, and that Patriot Colts was no good

55
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: to be ownered. Evan Ingram at thirty three hundred, we

56
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: paid down for the tight end. He was eighteen point

57
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: six percent ownership and got hurt. I didn't know what

58
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: happened one catch right yards. He got hurt early in

59
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, that hurt, But that opened the door

60
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: for Christian Kirk, that's true. Fifty five hundred dollars, we

61
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: had three pass catchers and yeah we could have uh,

62
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: Kirker fifty five hundred eight point four percent ownership. He

63
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: got us twenty one point six points, so that he

64
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: was on fire. He had eight for seventy six in

65
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: the touchdown. And then we had the Buccaneers defense at

66
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: three thousand. They had four sacks, gave up what was it,

67
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: thirteen points. We got eight points out of that. That

68
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: was either D would have been fine. They're watching I

69
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: was like watching an old timers game. Yeah, it was

70
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: like yeah, bad. Yeah, we're in the money right now.

71
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: We still have Alvin Kamara, so we should finish somewhere

72
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: well north of a hundred forty points. I can't think

73
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: there's many remaining players left. I mean, I'm sure people

74
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: have Lamar, there's a few here and there, but there

75
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, there's not gonna be a lot of ownership tonight.

76
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: The team, the team that is leading it with two

77
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: d twelve point five two points. They had fields a

78
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: t N at hundred, Za Jones nine, so it was

79
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: worth it. A monros st Brown, a lot of the

80
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: same guys, Josh Palmer, he was pretty treat Yeah. Twenty

81
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: one point six points. Yeah. Bobby Tonyan at the tight

82
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: end position at five point nine points too much. Joe

83
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: Mixing at was owned in twelve point five percent of

84
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: leagues and fifty eight point one point how many fields

85
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: have again point seven to so mixing was the highest score.

86
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: And they also had the Buccaneers defense. They had almost

87
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: the exact same because we did with Mixing with a

88
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: couple with we had. Yeah, and we could have we

89
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: could have done better ones though too. Kirk was better

90
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: than some of their guys. Yeah, we could have done that,

91
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: very same lineup and similar thinking. Yeah, I don't think

92
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: we considered mixing though we did not, I mean just

93
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: hadn't done much. But it was very very close to

94
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: what we had. Interesting, but there were some blow ups

95
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: this week because people, oh, yeah, you had him, you're happy.

96
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: If you played against him, your fate was sealed. Looking

97
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: at this week's top performers, there were only this week

98
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,119
Speaker 1: two guys who threw for more than three hundred yards,

99
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: two players in the entire league. That was Patrick Mahomes,

100
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: who threw for four six but only one touchdown. He

101
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: did run for a bunch of yards, so too and touchdown.

102
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: If you're gonna play man to man defense against the Chiefs,

103
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna hurt you. Yeah, that was definitely the reason

104
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: they want in my opinion. Uh. And then two, I

105
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: had three oh two and three touchdowns in that thirty

106
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: to shootout against UH. Aaron Rodgers had two nine one

107
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: one touchdown with three interceptions. Brady had two eighty one touchdown.

108
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: He didn't nothing. He had two hundred yards laid into

109
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. He had a really good drive to

110
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: win it. Yeah, but that was an old band's game. Yeah.

111
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: Geno Smith to seventy five and two touchdowns with an interception.

112
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: Wonder why passing was down so much. I don't know,

113
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: that's a good question. He's just the way the league

114
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: is going this year. Uh. Kirk Cousins had to sixty

115
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: five and two touchdowns with an interception. Derek Carr to

116
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: fifty nine and two touchdowns and no interceptions, but he

117
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 1: had two hundred yards at the first in the first half.

118
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: Like they're terrible too. That was the third seven teen

119
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: point lead that they've blown this year. They've blown three

120
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: seven teen point leads they I think I saw stat

121
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: they had six blown seventh leads of seventeen points or

122
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: more in their history the history of the Raider until

123
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: this season, and they've done it three times right now,

124
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: three times seven team points and they actually run the

125
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: ball well. And when when teams flow leads, I always think,

126
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: can't you run it or rush the passer? Well, that's

127
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: like two things they do. The two things that they

128
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: can do they're not doing. Davante Adams head I think

129
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: ten catches in the first half and finished with eleven

130
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: or something like. I mean, it's just they did They

131
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: did nothing in the second half offensively. Like I have

132
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for Todd Bowles and Josh McDaniels,

133
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: but they might be coordinators, you know. Yeah, it's a

134
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: different gig. Yeah, Justin Herbert to five and a touchdown.

135
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: He was that was the number nine or eight, number

136
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: eight quarterback performs this week. Was Justin Herbert's five and one.

137
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: I mean, not fantasy wise, like you didn't mention. I'm

138
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: just talking to Yeah, Jalen Hurts had two forty three

139
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns in that Thursday night game. And then

140
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence came in at number ten with two thirty

141
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: five and a touchdown. Wow, Lawrence isn't playing bad again.

142
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: His red zone stuff is problematic, But yeah, I mean

143
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: it's just Josh Allen two oh five, no touchdowns, two

144
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: interceptions in a game. Yeah, he struggled a little bit.

145
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: They barely had the football in the second half. I

146
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: mean he also the Bills are wonderful, don't get me wrong,

147
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: but if he's not Superman, yeah right, I mean even

148
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: their offense is a wonderful offense. But as elite offenses go,

149
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: him and Diggs are the only great players. Yeah, you know,

150
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: looking at the hundred yard rushers, there were only six. Okay,

151
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: Justin Fields had one and a touchdown. He was the

152
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: leading a rusher for the week. Wow. Mixing was second

153
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: at one fifty three and four touchdowns on twenty two carries.

154
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: That was what would he have done if they had

155
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: played full game? Like Yeah, Damian Pierce had twenty seven

156
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: for one thirty nine but didn't score. That's kind of

157
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: his life. I mean, he's being on a bad team,

158
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: but he's super consistent every week too. This is the

159
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: crazy thing is that three of the four there. Mind

160
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: you again, there were six guys who rushed for a

161
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: hundred yards this week. Three of them lost. Yeah, Derrick

162
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: Henry had seven two touchdowns, Kenneth Walker had one on

163
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: nine and two scores. They won a t N twenty

164
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: eight carries a hundred and nine yards, two touchdowns t

165
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: N and Walker like league winner. Is that sustainable right now?

166
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: For a t N Travis a t Night carry a

167
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: game guy, I think his production is sustainable as a

168
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: RB one. Yeah, Tyler l Ger just missed at ten

169
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: for nine. They're not. This is the problem now with

170
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: the Atlanta running running. Before it was just two guys.

171
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: Now you get Patterson back and you get a third

172
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: guy in there. This is what's gonna happen. These guys

173
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: are all gonna it's gonna be ten carries for this guy,

174
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: ten carries for that guy, and eight carries for the

175
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: other guys in that offense. Makes them usable still, you know,

176
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: like if you start a quarter l or how's your

177
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: You're fine, you know, but it's they could have been better.

178
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: But if I mean, if you're in a straight yardies

179
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: league or whatever, you know, not PPR. You got nine

180
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: nine points out of Tyler Algiers. Yeah, yeah, Miles Sanders

181
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: seventeen in a touchdown that should have been such a

182
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: bigger blow up spot for Yeah, it was, I mean

183
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: just a short week on the roads, brutal so long ago.

184
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: But you're happy if you own Sanders. Josh Allen kind

185
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: of saved his bacon, Yeah, leading US nine for eight

186
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: six and two touchdowns in that game. Rush again is

187
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: a Bill's problem if you know, he was a great

188
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: runner and an okay passer and it wasn't enough. Your

189
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: Maal Williams was the number ten guy. One he ever's

190
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: three point four yards that carry Green Bay d actually

191
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: came through for once. Uh yeah, just some some really

192
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: bad Patrick Mahomes at six for sixty three in a

193
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: touchdown in addition to his four hundred yards like yeah,

194
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: I mean he had great runs to the highlight like

195
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: runs and smart runs and yeah, Kyler Murray had eight

196
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: for sixty in his game. I mean there's just you know,

197
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: these are these are top fifteen performances for yardage on

198
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: the ground this week. Three quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence just missed

199
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: it with six for fifty three. He runs more, people

200
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: think it's good at it. So there's some guys out there,

201
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: but the running backs as a as a whole. Yeah,

202
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean there's a couple of blow ups and that

203
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: was a mixing and nobody else really Yeah, I mean

204
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: there's some good guys on by it really makes things

205
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: hard for fantasy. I mean this is this might be

206
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: one of the more difficult fantasy seasons. I think that

207
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: I can remember, like you can't count on some things

208
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: from week to week. Except for the star wide receivers,

209
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: I would say there's about five receivers that do it

210
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: every week, basically the Tyreeks and Adams. So this week

211
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: the leading receiver. There were only seven receivers that had

212
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: a hundred yards this week, but that makes sense. There

213
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: aren't many three pastors. But it's it's the guys that

214
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: you would think Davante Adams number one, ten and two

215
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: have one bad game rather than that he's been great.

216
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: Tyreek seven for one and one every week, Cooper Cup

217
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: seven and the touchdown. I don't know how much you

218
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: watched the Rams bucks. I watched the whole damn thing.

219
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: If that guy gets hurt and doesn't play again, it's

220
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: got nothing. They may not score another point a year.

221
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the only guy that gets open. He's

222
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: the only guy that does anything like Tyreeks having a

223
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: better year than him, but no one is a bigger

224
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: part of their offer. He's the entire office. Number four

225
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: world knows and it doesn't matter he gets open. Number

226
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: four was Justin Jefferson seven for the touchdown. Ch Uh.

227
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: Number five was Travis Kelsey ten for one oh six. Chok, chalk,

228
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: chalk cho chok. I think Diggs wasn't far off either.

229
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: And then you get to Josh Palmer eight for one

230
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: oh six in that off in that offense, that's the

231
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, that's the key there. You know that would

232
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: have been or Williams. Yeah, that would have been Alan

233
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: or Williams doing that. I think Everett got hurt in

234
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: that game too, from what I recall. Uh, seven was

235
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard eight for a hundred in a touchdown. He's

236
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: a star for at this point. Those were your Those

237
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: were your hundred yard receivers this weekend. You Noah fanse

238
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: five for ninet six. We believe it in that No.

239
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: Arizona is just they're awful against tight ends. They ran

240
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: the same play like six times and got the same

241
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: results and Arizona just let them. Yeah. Uh, Stefon Diggs

242
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: had five for nine, three all in the first half.

243
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: Didn't have a catch in the second half of the game.

244
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: They were not on the football field the entire second half. Um. Yeah,

245
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: their run defense was problematic in them. I'm not worried

246
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: about him, but no, Garrett Wilson at eight two in

247
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: that offense is something. He's a really good player. Juju

248
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: had ten eighty eight. They're leaning on him. I mean

249
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: they threw the ball so often winning on him though.

250
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna be their second lead receiver without

251
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: a doubt. Alan Lazard for eight seven and a touchdown. Yeah,

252
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of what he does it. Waddle had five

253
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: for eighty five in a touchdown. He's really good too. Again,

254
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: most of these guys are pretty chalky. Yeah, there's not

255
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: a come from nowhere mccollins type or anybody you know McCole.

256
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: Hardman six for seventy nine in touchdown. I don't know

257
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: if I buy that, especially if Tony gets a little

258
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: bit more. I mean I like the offense, of course,

259
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: I will say this is Hardman's best year as a pro.

260
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: I like him more now than I did any other point.

261
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: I still have very little trust in that guy. Yeah,

262
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: I hear you. He has to be in leagues, I guess. Yeah.

263
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk at eight for seventy six in a touchdown, solid.

264
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: T J. Hawkinson in his first game in Minnesota nine

265
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: for seventy. I think there's a plan there, and Jefferson

266
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: got his. Yeah, I think there's a plan there. I

267
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: was told after the after the trade that they were

268
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: really unhappy with Irv Smith some of his assignment stuff

269
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: and work stuff, and they just wanted to have a

270
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: plan for a solid tight end and Irv wasn't given

271
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: it to him. And they don't need him to be

272
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: Kellen Winslow. You know, Hackinson could be a tight end

273
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: for where you drafted him. That's what she drafted him

274
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: as he hadn't necessarily been there earlier this season. Now

275
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: moving forward he is. I mean, I bet he gets

276
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: six targed's a game and maybe twelve some week because

277
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: again all the all the attention goes to Jefferson and

278
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: you have to still respect Cooks as a runner. Oh yeah, yeah,

279
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: they needed something different. That's exactly what he is. I

280
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: see the plan now and it makes a lot of sense.

281
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: Kind of like got her a little bit. Yeah. Ron

282
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: Delmore at eight for sixty nine. I think he's usful

283
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: at least until Brown comes back. Yeah, I think he's useful.

284
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: Philip looks good to Philip. Dorset had three for sixty nine.

285
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: He's a Texan, He's a Texans. Don't know if Cooks

286
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: will play again. Is Philip should Philippia on your pickup list?

287
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean if he's the number two, they're even.

288
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: I mean he's on like the Terence Marshall level. Remember

289
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: that was against Philadelphia too. Yeah. Yeah, uh my man,

290
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: kat and five for sixty eight and a touchdown. I

291
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: think he's real. He's real. Locket at five for sixty

292
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: seven and a touchdown, he's really good. He's having a

293
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: great year. Yeah. Adam Feeling had three for sixty seven

294
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: in that game. So they found enough there too, to

295
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: at least make all three of those guys fantasy relevant. Yeah.

296
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm not thrilled about starting Feeling, but by weeks yeah, yeah,

297
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: he's fine. Yeah. Curtis Samuel three for sixty five in

298
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Any interest there not? Not? Just Yeah, they

299
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: looked mcclorin. T. Higgins had seven for sixty they're passing game.

300
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: They didn't throw much, they didn't have to. Yeah. A. J.

301
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: Brown had four touchdown be a bielow for me right now.

302
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: Mixing had four for fifty eight and a touchdown. They

303
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: actually threw him the football. They've been throwing in the

304
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: football a little bit more. I think they've made a

305
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: concerted effort to Yeah, finally caught on that he's really good.

306
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: In the past game, McLaurin had five for fifty six,

307
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: a mon Ross st. Brown four for fifty five, Scotty

308
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: Miller seven for fifty three. In that game with all

309
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: those other receivers and that and that they have, Scotty

310
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: Miller was a guy the Rams just said, go ahead

311
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: and throw it to that guy. Yeah, I made it

312
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: through a time. Yeah. Uh. DeAndre Carter came through with

313
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: five for fifty three. So I mean if you get

314
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: if they finally get Allan and Williams back, there's enough

315
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: they can Yeah, I think you feed in that offense.

316
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: I would buy Herbert before it's too late. That guy's

317
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: had overcome a lot, including a bad injury, lack of

318
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: weapons that stuffs all gonna be better, and then tera

319
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: some martial three forty three in a touchdown. He's the

320
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: number two on a team that's gonna have to throw

321
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: pretty consistent. Should be in leagues without a doubt. Looking

322
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: here at some of the other situations, Jeff Wilson out

323
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: snapped raheem mostered in Miami. He was like thirty six

324
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: and Wilson was the He had nine for fifty one.

325
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: I don't remember scored on a cart and scored on

326
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: a catch. Yeah, no, it was it was straight. They

327
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: just most of them are played. I mean, as people know,

328
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: Most has been a very solid, every week starter. That

329
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: trade hurts him a little, might hurt him a lot,

330
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: might hurt him like he might like before the trade.

331
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: He's an RB two because he was the only game

332
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: in town. Now if Wilson's gonna be now, he might

333
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: be a flex. Yeah. I mean, but they are running

334
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: the ball better than they did earlier in the year

335
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, I just think they trust Wilson's again,

336
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: Wilson's that guy coaches love. Yeah, exactly. He's just is

337
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: not gonna make the mistakes and he's stuck around. He's

338
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: the more physical runner. He's the more you know. I

339
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: don't think Most stays healthy for a while. Yeah. He

340
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: just runs like crazy into a wall like the Tasmanian

341
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: Devil and then for a long term. Michael Carter at

342
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: twelve or seventy six in a touchdown in that game,

343
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: and Robinson played as well, and and you know they

344
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: both of those guys look good. That's good. That could

345
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: end up being more of a fifty fifty split. I

346
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: think Carter might even be better than that. I think

347
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: he's the much better player of the two. I don't

348
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: know if they trust him to stay health. Yeah, they've

349
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: give them that kind of workload, like twelve carries, I

350
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: think is about what they want to give him. But

351
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: I'd rather own Carter than Robinson in fantasy. Yeah, Robinson

352
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: and Robinson thirty eight, so it was and he caught

353
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: a couple of passes, so you know they no, they're

354
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: figuring things out. Yeah, I mean their defense keeps some

355
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: of games. And Zach Wilson didn't stink yesterday. He did not.

356
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: I thought he actually played pretty well. Watched that whole game.

357
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: It has been brutal um. Josh Jacobs got back to

358
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: seven teen for sixty seven. You'd like to see him

359
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: get more than that. But again, they didn't have the

360
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: ball the entire second half. Now, I wouldn't worry about Jacobs.

361
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: I put an offering for him too. Yeah, I mean

362
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: he's been a good back. What about that rams Makers

363
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: is all back down all of a sudden he's and

364
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: Williams might be back next week, and Henderson is no good.

365
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: They don't block anybody, I mean anybody. They don't block anybody.

366
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: I think their quarterback is going through the same thing

367
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: that went through basically and his gutting it out was

368
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: a tough guy. And the second they get eliminated, I

369
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: bet schefter says, Matthew Stafford's going in for elbow surgery.

370
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: They have no team speed at all. They have a

371
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: superstar and cup that the whole world knows the ball

372
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: is going to and now they're tight ends are blocking

373
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: Robbie can't get open. Yeah, speaking of elbows, as you

374
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: see at the end of the game against the Jets,

375
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was not thrilled. And then there was a

376
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: report out today that he could be limited all week

377
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: long and that might be something that bugs him the

378
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: rest of the year. I didn't put two and two together.

379
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: I just saw the clip as it was coming in

380
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: that their head coach said, oh, we're very confident that

381
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: Case Kingdom can be fine for like, that's not what

382
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: you're and they're playing the Vikings this week. Wow. Yeah.

383
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: It's also a little concerning their two losses are against

384
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: the division, you know, like when the Patriots owned that division,

385
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: they didn't lose it. One last running back situation to

386
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: get here, I get to here is Washington. Gibson looks good. Yeah,

387
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: but it's a bad offense and too many miles. Yeah,

388
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: it's you can't live with three. You cannot live with three.

389
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: And that's what they're kind kind of what they're doing

390
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: them now right now, it's two right now. Yeah, because

391
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: mckissic is out in a week like this past week

392
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: with six teams on buy Okay, I just don't have

393
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: high expectations. But Robinson got thirteen forty four, Gibson got

394
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: eleven for thirty six. Gibson's more of the receiver to

395
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: as well, so he's the more valuable guy. But it's

396
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: almost a fifty fifty split. That's just it's yucky, yucky,

397
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: yuck yuck. Yeah, because the blocking is not good and

398
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: the offense isn't good and the quarterback isn't good. Tampa

399
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: Bay also needs to start just giving the ball to White.

400
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: I had that conversation too. I mean, four Net signed

401
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: a big deal and looks like he's fat now and

402
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: doesn't care cut the It just looks quicker, gives them

403
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: a speed element to their offense that they don't have.

404
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: He's a very good receiver. Yeah, I just wonder does

405
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: Tom trust him in protection and to do the right stuff.

406
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: But who cares? At this point? I'm telling Tom Ay, Tom,

407
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: we're not scoring points. We got to go with the kids.

408
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: This guy can't give the ball. This guy over and

409
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: run into the wall right now. Four. That's bad. Um. Yeah.

410
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: So somebody was always a little inflated with his situation

411
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: in Tampa, and he was hungrier than too. But he

412
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: doesn't has he's not exactly the best work at the

413
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: guy out well, he might have been two hungry. Yeah,

414
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: tow zones. Did you miss any of our show today?
