1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: Wow, fantasy freaks and geeks. What's up? You're listening to

2
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: the NFL Fansy Live podcast. Else James co joined alongside

3
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: by the whiz Kid from Wisconsin. What's going on? Many?

4
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: Oh Man, it's beautiful Friday here. I love that the

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: weather and I feel weird saying this, but I love

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: that it's getting just slightly cooler because I can now

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: I can sleep with my window open and it's like

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: perfect sleeping temperature. This is what everyone tuned in forward

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: to hear about what gel Are is like when he sleeps.

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: At the end of the discussion, I also like the

11
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: fact that you know, obviously he's from Wisconsin. He refused

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: to say it's colder because it's not, because it's not.

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: It's cooler. Definitely a little frigid this morning. I had

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: to put on a hoodie last night. I like it.

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it. Uh, we got MGM, I got

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant. What's going on? UM? I learned just a

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: little while before we came up here to podcast that

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: the Jordan's Sparks follows me on Twitter. You can't tell

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: me anything, right, whoa whoa whoa whoa? Just humble brag, right,

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: just Hey, hey, we get a backstory on the way.

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: What Look, I don't know. I mean we follow her.

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean we get guests and stuff on the network

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: are necessarily football related. And I know that we follow

24
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: her from the fantasy handle. Um, and so I just

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: happened to click on her profile and I saw the

26
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: little messange on tweet thick that says he follows Marcus G.

27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: I mean so you hit that follow back? Right? Hell yeah? Okay,

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: two things, two things here. One not to you know,

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: put a damper on your parade. Here, don't tell me

30
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: she follows you to She just not follow me, not

31
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: not to my knowledge. But you know, she follows like

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: five thousand people, right, that's five thousand as opposed to

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: the tay Digs of the world follow not right. Any

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: anytime anytime somebody follows more than a like, more than

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: a thousand people follows don't mean anything. I would say

36
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: the the show for her. But she has followed by

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: like five million people to follow five I don't know. Yeah,

38
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: I still find it questionable anytime that somebody follows update

39
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: or than two thousand update. Now he's stretching it. Update.

40
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Sparks does not follow me either. I don't think

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: she follows me either, That's what I'm saying. I was checking,

42
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: since you know you fair enough is handsome TV personalities though,

43
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: speak for yourself. Here we go, Harmon, Who's an idiot? Harmon,

44
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: Who's an idiot? This is setting up to be a

45
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: good show off to a rip roaring start, that's for sure. Harmon.

46
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: How are your folks in West Virginia? I don't know,

47
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: because I don't have any folks in West Virginia. I'm

48
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: not from there. I'll tell you what. I've read some

49
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: awful things about my people in North Carolina though, but

50
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: we'll leave that. We'll leave that alone. But hey, uh

51
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: figured things are good though, Thanks France. Okay, we've got

52
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: a big show for us here today. Franchise will join

53
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: us a little bit later with his fiery phone in.

54
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: We got Thursday night football reaction, and we're gonna go

55
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: E D G as well every damn game, and of

56
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: course give you some deep sleepers as well. But as always,

57
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: we start with your top headlines, the camera highlights on

58
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: the world of sport, freaking breaking news, breakingly continue to

59
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: follow breaking news, kids, wife, All right, let's start in

60
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: New England. Grant reportedly has a perforated lung. Perforated, perforated lung.

61
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: That's the verbiage we're supposed to use now. That painful

62
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: punctured was what first came through. But we had an

63
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: email from a semi shadowy league figure that said, please

64
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: refer to this injury as perforated. Let's by the way,

65
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: that's dumb. I will just say that I've talked to

66
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: a couple of different of my doctor friends and they're like,

67
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: there's no You've got a lot of doctor friends I

68
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: do every every time we have bring up an injury.

69
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: I feel like you've got a source on this shadowy doctor.

70
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: They both told me there's no such thing. There is

71
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: no such thing as a as a quote unquote perforated lung.

72
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: It's it's a punctured lung, and then there's degrees. It's

73
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: bottom line is it's a minor puncture of the lung. Uh.

74
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: Possibly from that massive hit he took from Earle Thomas,

75
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: probably when you when the first story first hit earlier

76
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: in the week. Uh. The talk was, well, he might

77
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: just missed one game. If I had a punctured long

78
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: I know, dude, you wouldn't see me around here for

79
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: a while. I know Tony Romo like missed five snaps

80
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: for the puncture actually a couple years ago. I mean

81
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: I finished that game. Was it was in a game

82
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: oddly enough again, maybe not oddly enough, but it was

83
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: against the forty nine a few years back, and he punctured.

84
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: He sat out for a few places. He came back,

85
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: and I believe he end up throwing a game winning

86
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. And that one too, I think I think

87
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: I got it out bad one. I come, I come here,

88
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm coming here write some bangers. You get mad when

89
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: I touch your hair, Well, that's different than breathing whatever

90
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: my hair. He is not expected to play Sunday versus

91
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners. Obviously a lot of folks

92
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: are gonna be very fired up about Martellis Bennett. I

93
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: will say, though, I think that he comes with a

94
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: little bit of variants because the Patriots can do whatever

95
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: the hell they want against that Niners defense. And if

96
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: that means a lot of Litt Blunt, if that means

97
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: a lot of Julian Edelman, maybe that's what that means.

98
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, but the upside is obviously there. I

99
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: just think his floor could be in the middle of

100
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: the pack as well, because again, the Patriots are gonna

101
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: be able to do whatever it is that they want

102
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: to do. We'll go to Seattle. Christian Michael. Oh, I

103
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: guess it's not Seattle screen Day, Christian Michael Shockingly Cut.

104
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: We haven't had a podcast though since this happens. I

105
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: mean for people that only consume news through this show,

106
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: thank you well. I mean, obviously people are very up

107
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: to it on their Christian Michaels as well. That's true.

108
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: It's such a huge deal in Christian Michael's shockingly cut

109
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: by Seattle. Then he got woke again when he was

110
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: claimed off waivers by Green Bay. What does it mean

111
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: for Starks? So what does it mean for Christian Michael? Okay,

112
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: what does it mean Alexihard? What what what it means is

113
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: he's probably not I would assume he's not going to

114
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: play this week. If he does, it might be like

115
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: a series. I think he I think he was still

116
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: traveling on Thursday and he was coming off a hamstring injury,

117
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: so they'll probably they'll probably sit him. Starks is a

118
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: great start this week against Washington, but moving forward, like uh,

119
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: as I know you quoted in News and Notes, just

120
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: good piece everybody should read on NFL dot com. Such fantasy.

121
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 1: I tweeted up that fat like injured slow Eddie Lacey

122
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: was averaging five point one yards per carry's offense earlier.

123
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: Now t J. Lang is out this week and we'll

124
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: see how he heals up for the future. So injuries

125
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: are mounting. But Michael could be a serious threat for

126
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: this offense down the stretch because he at least even

127
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: if he doesn't make the quote unquote right reads, which

128
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: I think was part of the reason Seattle kicked him

129
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: to the curb. In addition to not playing special teams,

130
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: he at least hits wherever he's going like a cannon

131
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: and doesn't dance to the outside like Starks does. So

132
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: I'd be very excited about his upside in this offense

133
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: if he even earns the backfield touches you boys blind. Yeah,

134
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's interesting. Let's not also forget that they

135
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: did trade for Nile Davis and then eventually cut him too,

136
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: So I mean easily be a situation where nothing happens,

137
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: but it's certainly exciting. I think it's it's probably more

138
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean the NFL is more fun with Kristin michaelis

139
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: and the fact that it's on the same teams, Like

140
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: truths Unites to happen now they needed to sign what

141
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: Vernon Adams or whatever from from and now we're cooking.

142
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: It's the most athletic practice squad ever, seriously, but the hey,

143
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: these guys are on the active roster. But I think

144
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: that I think this probably ends up mattering more by

145
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: the time Fantasy is over for most people, like I

146
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: think Kristen Michael could be cooking, you know, by the

147
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: time that Fantasy Championships have already been said and done,

148
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: or justin time for that revenge game or just in time. Yeah, no,

149
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean the revenge game is obviously something pretty serious.

150
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, I I probably feel more measured now

151
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: than I did when it first happened. But at the

152
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: same because this is a very traditional coaching staff that

153
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: you know obviously puts a ton of emphasis on players

154
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: knowing the playbook. You know, That's why that's why your

155
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: boy James Starks just keeps getting rolled out there, and

156
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: that is not something that Chris and Michael has been

157
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: terribly been very good at, you know, so that yeah,

158
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: they're certainly risk. But the upside is there if somebody

159
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: dropped him and you are in the playoff, hunt, grabbing, stashing.

160
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I definitely think he shouldn't be owned across

161
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: all formats. I think he's good for sure. All right,

162
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: let's go to Seattle. The aforementioned Seattle Chris Mortenson report

163
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: that the CJ process will remain Seattle Starter for the

164
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: immediate future, and that Thomas Rawls will be quote eased

165
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: back in slowly. This despite the fact that Pete Carroll

166
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: said Rawls was going to be quote significantly involved via

167
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: the team's website. Alright, what what is not buying it?

168
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: Not buying it? MG? What say you? I mean, I

169
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: I believe the second story that procise is going to

170
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: remain the starter, at least for this week. He is

171
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: going to see the bulk of the touches in the backfield. Now,

172
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's going to be the case indefinitely.

173
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: I mean, I think once Rawls is kind of back

174
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: in the game speed and they give him a few

175
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: snaps back there, I could see week twelve, week thirteen

176
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: that split come down a little bit and be a

177
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: little bit more even. But for this week, I think,

178
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: you know, not only will Procise kind of be that guy,

179
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: I actually think he's a better matchup for the defense

180
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: they're facing. I mean, I think he has a guy

181
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: who catches the ball out of the backfield, who can

182
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: line up and be a legit slot receiver. I think

183
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: he is more of a matchup problem for the Eagles

184
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: than Thomas Rawls would be. Look, I believe Dwight Eisenhower

185
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: was in office when we last saw Thomas Rawls player.

186
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: Uh so, only we had Franchise here to confirm that

187
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: since he was in his mid teens. Then, man, like

188
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: the thing, I mean, calling Thomas Rawls anything but a

189
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: complete wild card is being disingenuous. I mean, I don't

190
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: think he would get more than maybe ten carries at

191
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: most in this first game back. Uh. And also, by

192
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: the way, uh, Seattle's a past first offense now, and

193
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: that's exactly what cd A process does. In two thousand fourteen,

194
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: they threw a pass on forty four point five percent

195
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: of the plays they ran. That jump to forty seven

196
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: point two last year, and this year it's all the

197
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: way up to fifty seven point five. So it's a

198
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: big jump. They're they're a past heavy team now and

199
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: that's what cd A process is not Thomas, I'm pretty

200
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: sure I saw. I was just pulling up their page

201
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: to double check it. But I think c J Process

202
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: already has more targets than Christen Michael had all years.

203
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: That would surprise, well, c J proces is actually like

204
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: runs routes, can catch the ball outside and and Michael

205
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: is not a threat to do either one of those

206
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: things now, but it just speaks to how they want

207
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: to deploy him. Yeah, he has sixteen Oh, he's ten

208
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: ten targets behind, but he's played, you know, in all

209
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: of like two games, right, all right, So there you go.

210
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz back in practice. Should be good to go

211
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: Sunday versus Chicago. Oh, by the way, Chica goes given

212
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: up the second most Fantasy points to wide receivers over

213
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: the last four weeks. Deshan Jackson steal dealing with the

214
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. Now, last week when we told when we

215
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: told you about Deshan Jackson, the expectation was that he

216
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: would miss last week, and this week he was a

217
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: limited participant in practice Thursday. I didn't get an injury

218
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: report for Friday, but he's likely to be a game

219
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: time decision unless something new came out. I think you're

220
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: right about that. Green Bay gives up the fourth most

221
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: fantasy points to the wide receiver position. Man, I hope

222
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't play, and not even as a Packer fan,

223
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: just for the fantasy impact, because this is a great

224
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: spot to start everybody else, and if you add him

225
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: in there, it's gonna muddle muddle things up. You look

226
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: at the target distribution, Jordan Reed, Jamison Crowder and then

227
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: Pierre Garson all within three targets of each other, really

228
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: between six and two and sixty five targets, and Vernon

229
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: Davis has been pretty if Deshan you're right, You're right,

230
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: if if if Deshon acting does come back. Now we're

231
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: talking about the distribution share just being all over the

232
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: place and having no idea where the ball is going

233
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: to be going. Yeah, it would hurt. It would hurt

234
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: Crowder and Garcon in the most. In my mind, I

235
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: think like Reid's just gonna destroy the Packers this week.

236
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: But we'll see how it goes. All right, there you

237
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: go in Kansas City. A couple of pieces of news here.

238
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin miss practice this week, coming back from a

239
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: growing injury. Sounds like he's probably not gonna play Sunday

240
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: versus Tampa Bay. He sounds very, very doubtful if he

241
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: hasn't already been ruled out by the time you hear this.

242
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters, their star cornerback, miss practice all week this week.

243
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: He's got a hip injury. Now, at first they were

244
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: not worried about him missing Sunday's game. But I'll say this,

245
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: he didn't practice today. I'm not sure. I mean, I'm

246
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: sure he'll be a quote unquote game time decision, but

247
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: that doesn't bode well for a guy like Marcus Peters. Now.

248
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: Day in practice is extremely important, right exactly? Now, why

249
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: do I bring up Marcus Peters, Well, they're taking on

250
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Any kind of injury to Marcus Peters, I

251
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't imagines got it boost the value for Mike Evans. No,

252
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't even really matter though, to be honest, like,

253
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it was gonna make a big difference anyways,

254
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: because Calvin Benjamin was just the next receiver last week

255
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: that has just ripped up the And I mean he

256
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: didn't have a huge game, but accumulated the majority of

257
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: his yards lined up at left wide receiver. Mike Evans

258
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: takes most a bunch of his snaps there too. I

259
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: think it's just so easy to exploit the Chiefs because

260
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: they just play straight up based defense. They leave Marcus

261
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: Peters at left cornerback and they can just you can

262
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: just move your top receiver to the other side. I mean,

263
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: we saw Allen Robinson get off the shy there against

264
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs doing just that, so I don't think it

265
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: really makes a huge different spot. I love Evans either way.

266
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: This week. Uh, it does make a difference if you

267
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: want to stream Jameis Winston, which I don't know if

268
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: you'd really want to do that this week, but if

269
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: no Peters is out there, it's less opportunity for mistakes.

270
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: Will Fuller has been coming back from a leg injury.

271
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: He's practiced this week. It sounds like he should be

272
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: good to go for the Monday Night is it in

273
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: Mexico City. In Mexico City, Tilt versus Oakland. Obviously it's

274
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: a tremendous matchup. Unfortunately he plays with brock Ostweiler, right.

275
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like at this point in the season,

276
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: matchup no longer means anything. For Texans wide receivers because

277
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: because brock Osweiler has defeated them all. He just he

278
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: throw for yards last week James in the whole game, Um,

279
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: not like in a half or a quarter. I wrote

280
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: about this too, but I saw and I couldn't believe it.

281
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: Brock Osweiler has the lowest yards per a temp passing

282
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: attempt in the league. How was that possible when you

283
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: have DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller, Braxton Miller, Jalen Strong to

284
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: a degree, I just what, just this this stat that

285
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: I tweeted out this week really gives context to just

286
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: how bad, how bad brock Osweiler has been. DeAndre Hopkins

287
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: is on pace for a hundred fifty eight targets and

288
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: he's currently the wide receiver thirty five and Fantasy. Since

289
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: two thousand eleven, only one wide receiver has seen a

290
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: hundred fifty plus targets and not finished in the top

291
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: twenty four. That was Larry Fitzgerald in two thousand twelve?

292
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: Was that when he That was Skelton Lably Hall. So

293
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean it is just like I did a study

294
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: on this before the before, yeah, before the season, Like

295
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: just how improbable it is for a wide receiver to

296
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: see that much volume and not finish as a at

297
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: least wide receiver to new looks like he's on track

298
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: to beat the odds. Or I guess you could say

299
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: that there's some regression coming, but holy hell, it seems unlikely.

300
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: With old Brock back there. I think will Fuller's average

301
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: less than twenty yards receiving per game over his last

302
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: three games. Well, he's been he's been completely banged up,

303
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: like it's been a it's been a rough go for him,

304
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: like that him that he had earlier in the year.

305
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: It's it's gone right now. All right, there you go.

306
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: Let's react to Thursday night football. A good game in

307
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: real life? I get, well, a good game in real life. Well,

308
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: it ended, interestingly enough, that's what it was. That's what

309
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: NFL fun to watch, right. I don't know, I enjoyed it, honestly.

310
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: Like people are getting so liberal with just bashing games

311
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: on Twitter. IM like, do you guys even like football?

312
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: Like they're just everybody seems any even any game is

313
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: like that was not a great first half. It was

314
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: one sided and yeah it ended well, the ending was good,

315
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: I know, But that's my point, Like this as soon

316
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: as like football starts like in the first quarter. If

317
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: it's not immediately like hogs out right away, everybody just

318
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: lines up to complain about the game. Like do people

319
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: even like like watching football anyway? Yeah, So like that

320
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: was my whole reaction to it, was like, oh, that

321
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: was a pretty good game. But then I was thinking

322
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: back about like how much ugly like football we actually saw,

323
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, maybe it was. It wasn't

324
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: above you know, I'll say this, it wasn't above average.

325
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: I just think I'm just a side rand. I just

326
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: think people are going a little too far to complain

327
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: about literally every game that's in primetime ever. But whatever,

328
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: separate discussions, All right, let's go New Orleans. Drew Brees Uh,

329
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: was ugly in the first half, was ugly basically through

330
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: three quarters. Really had a good had himself a good

331
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter overall, a pretty decent fantasy day. And he's

332
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: takeaways there, Uh what you said he was. He was

333
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: out of the Superdome, so it wasn't completely electric, but

334
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: he still put up numbers that he's been doing all year.

335
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: Wide receiver reaction there, Michael Thomas picked up a bunch

336
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: of garbage time points Willie Sneed, Brandon Cooks. No one

337
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: did really too much of anything. There was a lot

338
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: offensively to speak of in this game, I mean on

339
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: either side. And it will get to the Panthers in

340
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: just a bit, but um, I mean, I guess you know,

341
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: Tim high Tower ended up having a pretty decent night.

342
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of that was because unfortunately Mark

343
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: Ingram left the game with what concussion symptoms, uh so

344
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: that basically forced the Saints to have to lean on

345
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: Tim high Tower in the second half, so he ended up,

346
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, producing a decent number. But I mean, this

347
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: wasn't the kind of performance I think we expected from

348
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: either side. And you know, I I wondered last night

349
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: after the game, especially in the Saint side, but even

350
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: the Panthers side, like how much of this was just

351
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, unproductive football, just teams not able to execute.

352
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: And I do think there's something to be said. And

353
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: we've talked about it before about Thursday night games and

354
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: even you know, the short wheel weekends, especially the road travel. Um,

355
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean, because this is an offense with a lot

356
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: of firepower and they just didn't really show it last night.

357
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: And I think it's just another case of us getting

358
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: TNF by the way to high Tower led all Saints

359
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: players in targets. He had nine. Yeah, mark Ingram left

360
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: with a concussion yea at some point in the game

361
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: he had four targets. Brand Cooks at eight. Why he

362
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: had five, and then Kobe Fleer have five Cause dude,

363
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: he's that they paid him seventeen or fourteen million doll

364
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: was guaranteed this offseason. They did it. So but yeah,

365
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: it was pretty crazy, like it didn't. I mean, Drew

366
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: Brees didn't look good in this game. The whole Saints

367
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: offense didn't look very good. He averaged only four or

368
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: five point four intended air yuards per attempt. I mean,

369
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: that's drastically low. Just for context, Cam Newton had ten,

370
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: Drew Brees had eight point six in their last meeting

371
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: against Carolina. So that's that's really poor. I mean, they

372
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: just could not push the ball down the field at all.

373
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: And I also think that that's that means that this

374
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: Panther's defense is definitely not back to the level that

375
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: it was during the Super Bowl run. But it is

376
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: no longer like a complete joke like it was the

377
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: first month of the season. They're rushing the pass are

378
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: better their their secondary. James Bradbury is a player to

379
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: watch in the future as as a pretty good up

380
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: and coming corner. Uh they're a better defense now. Of course,

381
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: Luke Keikley scary concussion moment there as well in that game.

382
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: Uh so that could be a bit of a problem

383
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: going forward, but the Panthers defense definitely improved. I think

384
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: this is about as much time we should spend on

385
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: a game with this little offensive production. But is anybody

386
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: worried about Newton going forward with the with the offensive

387
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: line issues. Yes. So I've been writing a piece now

388
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: after all the primetime games for next Gen Stats kind

389
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: of breaking down the biggest storyline of the game, and

390
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: the one that I talked about last night was just

391
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: the pressure that the Panthers have been allowing h Nextenstats

392
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: has a pressure metric that sure is how far away

393
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: defensive players literally get to the corner of the quarterback

394
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: at the time of snapper throw. And the Panthers have

395
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: been below average at allowing or above average that allowing

396
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: pressure on Cam Newton going back to Week six. I mean,

397
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 1: I never thought we'd say this, but this team really

398
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: misses Michael or not not in a good way, they've

399
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: been above average. Yes, they've been allowing an above average

400
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: amount of pressure on him. Uh yeah, so like and

401
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: then Ryan Khalil got hurt again last night's they had

402
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: to slide Chris Scott over. Who aren't the three hunt

403
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: forty pounds. I mean, it's it's not good right now.

404
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: They're on the offensive line, and I think it's gonna

405
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: derail the Panthers season. Like they some of these parts

406
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: of this team looked like they could make a playoff run.

407
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: Newton is still playing reasonably well, but not with his protection,

408
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: no way. And and Stewart too. I meant one averaged

409
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: under two yards to carry. He was getting crushed in

410
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: the backfield a lot when I was watching it, or

411
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: he was having frustrated to he was having to fight

412
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, like when he should have

413
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: been getting extra yards after contact to add to his total.

414
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: They were to not lose its total if it was

415
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: any redeeming factory did score a touchdown there. Kelvin Benjamin

416
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: just three catches fifty six yards. He also left for

417
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: a stretch to Ted Ginn had three catches forty six

418
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: and a beautiful long touchdown pass catch that was great.

419
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: That was cool. Um, all right, well let's move on.

420
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: Let's talk about franchises. Fiery phone in, let's hear from him.

421
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: Prepare yourselves for it's franchise. It's fight your rephoning off

422
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: the week, my fire day because that Alfred Moore gets

423
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: revenge on the red thing. Hey, guys, franchise, here coming

424
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: at you with my fire takes of the week. I'm

425
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: actually in San Francisco this morning. Forty Niners fans, I

426
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: can see you in the streets. MG. I know this

427
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: is your hood in the Bay Area. Let's go. Let's

428
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: getta win. This week for the forty Niner of the

429
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: Week is Isaiah Crowell of the Cleveland Browns. I know

430
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: what you're thinking. This guy has not played well recently.

431
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: He's actually really sucked recently. I own him. He's been

432
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: on my bench, hasn't been doing anything. But here's the deal.

433
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: The Steelers lost defensive and Cameron Hayward out for the season.

434
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: That's a huge blow to the defensive line. Without him,

435
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers have allowed a hundred one rushing yards per

436
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: game compared to eight point three when he actually starts. Look,

437
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: Kroll only needs fifteen touches to produce. We've seen that

438
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: this year. He hasn't had that kind of volume only

439
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: once in Week seven. In recent weeks he had seventy

440
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: nine yards and a touchdown when he saw fifteen touches,

441
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: and Hugh took responsibility from not getting Crowell involved enough.

442
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: He said, look, this guy is really talented. We just

443
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: got to give him the ball more, and we haven't

444
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: been doing that. So I think the Browns are gonna

445
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: make a statement early. Get Crowell the ball, and he's

446
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: gonna be able to produce for fantasy teams this week

447
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: against the Steelers. Now, I'm gonna I'm gonna lay out

448
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: my bus here, but just hold your horses before you

449
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: come at me. Ezekiel. Elliott goes up against the number

450
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: one on defense in the league and the Baltimore Ravens.

451
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: Zekiel is not gonna sink your fantasy teams. I'm just

452
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: trying to say temper expectations. I know he's the best

453
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: running back in the league right now, but the Ravens

454
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: are only allowing sixty three point eight rushing yards per

455
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: game and only three rushing touchdowns of touch to running

456
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: backs all season long. If you don't like it come

457
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: at me on Twitter. I don't know what you want.

458
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: The room is burning up right now. Alright, My sleeper

459
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: this week is rasha Jennings against the Bears. Look, we've

460
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: seen Rashad Jennings volume uptick the last four games. He's

461
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: that touches thirteen fifteen, fourteen eighteen in the last four games.

462
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: We saw him produce against the Bengals last week. People

463
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: might say, well, yeah, but what about Paul Perkins. He's

464
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: been getting some work. Perkins is Washington's rookie year already.

465
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: Jennings is gonna have a big game. The Bears defense

466
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: has been pretty tough against running backs, but they're different team.

467
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: On the road. They're allowing twenty nine points per game

468
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: in three ninety yards per game on the road, They're

469
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: allowing about half those points and two hundred seventy nine

470
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: yards per game at home. I think that the Giants

471
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: are gonna try to control the ball here, control the clock,

472
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: and the Bears offense is going to struggle. The fire fire,

473
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: fire take of the week. As my computer just spontaneously

474
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: combusted as I'm reading this, I'm going with a chem

475
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: hunt of the Houston Texas against the Raiders. On Monday Night.

476
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be relevant. Put up top fifteen numbers.

477
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: Hear me out here, the volume down take the last

478
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: few weeks. Alphred Blue is backup, not practicing with the

479
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: calf injury. He got hurt last week and Hunt came

480
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: in fort of the snaps, had eight eight attempts for

481
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: fifty two yards and had a thirty three yard run

482
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: called back on a penalty. This guy is a spark

483
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: this Texans offense needs. I think they're gonna get up

484
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: the ball. He's a big play guy. And the Raiders,

485
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: while their defense has been shored up a little bit lately,

486
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: they still have allowed ninety rushing yards are running back

487
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: to the season. That's fourth most in the NFL. So

488
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: go with a chem Hunt if you need a deep

489
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: running back play with some upside. That my fire take.

490
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: Those are my calls for the week. I'm franchise. This

491
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 1: has been the fiery phone in. I'll catch you guys Monday.

492
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: Good luck in week eleven, franchise out. You know what's

493
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: funny about that is that you could tell his pants

494
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: were on. Yeah, well, because he's he's in San Franz.

495
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. The fiance. That's what I'm saying,

496
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, he's he's on Vaca with

497
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: the fiance because he's he's definitely got the pants on

498
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: a little more tempered than usual. It's still some still

499
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: some heat on the takes. Oh yeah, definitely heat on

500
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: the takes boat. Alright, bear with me, everybody. Yeah. I

501
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: imagine they're like in the hotel room. She's like, let's

502
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: got this thing. He's like, hold on, I gotta do

503
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: this quick. And he's like, oh god, I can't that.

504
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't want to make her question the

505
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: beginning of the weekend. They got all day and most

506
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: of tomorrow. I'm sure I doesn't want to set that tone, darling.

507
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: Why were you screaming? Hotel room? Why were your pants off? Remember?

508
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: I just like to imagine, like, actually I have to

509
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: take my pants off for this, but you're just talking

510
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: to a computer. I have to take right, Can you

511
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: go to the lobby? Going to the lobby like that,

512
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm taking my pants off. It's about to get weird.

513
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that was tremendous. We'll get the full

514
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: report from him on the environment of the recordings on Monday,

515
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: or what if he was in, like the lobby. What

516
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: if he had to leave too, and that's why he

517
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: had to keep the pants on. And like maybe the

518
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: fiance is doing her own phone in. Yeah, maybe you know.

519
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: She's a she's a powerful you know. And the music

520
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: industry seriously makes us like a bunch of leaves. Are

521
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: real problems, and we're over here talking about franchise. Pants

522
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: offer on for fantasy's gone on a little while. How

523
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: does listen to this show? I don't know. Bless all

524
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: of you. You I love it. Let's talk to deep sleepers.

525
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: It's Friday, which means you're desperate. The waiver wires pick thin.

526
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: We need some deep sleepers here for the folks. Matthew Harmon,

527
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: get me a deep sleeper. You throw me off every

528
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: time you call me, Matthew. But deep sleep Williams Terence

529
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: Williams might be sleeper this week. Well, well I don't

530
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: know about that. But you don't lose points for mistakes

531
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: of boundary related things within fantasy football. Uh so, the

532
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: as franchise mentioned, the Cowboys are going against the Ravens

533
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: this week. Uh Jimmy Smith their top cornerback. He has

534
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: not practiced all week or he did practice day finally,

535
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: I think, but he's he's dinged up. But all along

536
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: they've said they expect him to play. He's probably gonna

537
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: shadow Dez Bryant. He's shadowed three receivers so far this year,

538
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, Brandon Marshall, Terrell Prior. He held them to

539
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: a combined eighty eighty seven yards wait combined, combined all

540
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: three of them, and he completely blank Brandon Marshall when

541
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: he shattered him too. But anyways, so he's he's a

542
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: top cover corner. He's one of the more underrated quarterbacks

543
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: in the league. He's probably gonna cover des Brian. If

544
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: there's one thing we've seen about Dak Prescott, it is

545
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: that he does not force things. If Bryant's not there,

546
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: he's not gonna look for him. He's gonna take the

547
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 1: open matchup like Cole Beasley. I mean, obviously he would

548
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: be the next guy up. But at the same time,

549
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore has been really good at holding down slot receivers.

550
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: Uh that they've they've been very very strong in that regard.

551
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: Forty three measly yards allowed to tight end the last

552
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: month too, So I mean, it's not gonna be Jason Witten.

553
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: So this is where Dallas loses. This is this is

554
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: what I've got this franchise. I think that this could

555
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: be a good I think this could be a good

556
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: spot for them to potentially, you know, not lose this game.

557
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: Maybe defensively, they don't have a lot of good matchups,

558
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: but Baltimore has bled production to the right wide receiver

559
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: position where where Terrence Williams lines up, because they've had

560
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: a weird combination of Charise Wright and Tavon Young starting

561
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: at that position. That's not going to get the job done. MG.

562
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: My guy, Marcus Grant made a deep sleeper. I'm going

563
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: to the tight end spot and I'm looking at Charles

564
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: Clay in Buffalo taking on the Billingles this week. Why

565
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: can't we could judge your choice? Look, I mean like

566
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: the Bengals, they at times can play really good defense.

567
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: At times they can look extremely undisciplined and not know

568
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: what they seem to be doing. They have been lit

569
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: up by the position. And yes, they did play the Patriots,

570
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 1: so you've got the Grant factor in there, but they

571
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: gave up ninety plush yards to both Jordan Reed and

572
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: Vernon Davis. A couple of weeks ago. I mean they

573
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 1: got beat up by Gary Barners. They got beat up

574
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: by the Giants tight ends. There's got a tight end

575
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: of note playing for the Giants. But sometimes Charrell Adams

576
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: command my bad, I forgot about that. But the Bengals

577
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,239
Speaker 1: have just been really beat up by the tight end

578
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: position over the last month or so. And let mean,

579
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: let's face it, the Bills don't necessarily have a lot

580
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: of consistent go to pass catchers. Robert Woods has certainly

581
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: played well for the last couple of weeks. Sure he

582
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: isn't necessarily a game breaker. Tyrod Taylor has had to

583
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: kind of hold this offense together anyway, he knows how,

584
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 1: and so some of that may involve getting the ball

585
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: to Charles Clay if he can get open down the field.

586
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Whisky from Wisconsin. What you got?

587
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: I going with Eddie Royal and the Chicago Bears. When

588
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: he sighed and paused, I was waiting for like a

589
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: Jared Aberdarus or something. The team don't even listen. He's

590
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: just playing it. He's just playing it safe. This shock.

591
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: He's battling turf toe. He hasn't played a game and

592
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: any Royal. Oh well, now I'm convinced Eddie Royal. However,

593
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: he's been limited in practice all week, and we know

594
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: he and Cutty have had a bromance going back to

595
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: their days in Denver with Alshan gone, he's gotta cut

596
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: He's gotta throw the ball somewhere. And I'm not going

597
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: to jump on the cam Meretith bandwagon yet, just because

598
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer pummeled in with like thirteen targets two games

599
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: in a row. I think Eddie Royal could be a

600
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: decent spot. And also they're playing the Giants. They have

601
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: good give, good outside corners, but they have been beaten

602
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: in the slot a few times this year Cole Beasley

603
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: and I think rydal cop at a decent game, isn't

604
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: He might have been out, but need let's say they've

605
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: been beaten in the slot a few times. So if

606
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: you need a desperation dart throw in PPR, look to

607
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: Eddie Royal. I could easily see him getting like five

608
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: for sixty six. I thank you. I figured you were

609
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: just being because I teased Mark. Yeah, of course, I

610
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: will give you Jermaine Jackson five curse. I don't understand

611
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: that reference. It's as easy as a B C. Jermaine Jackson. Okay,

612
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: all right, listen, they're taking on the Philadelphia Eagles. They've

613
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: given up the fourth most Fantasy points per game too

614
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers over the last four weeks. So the matchup

615
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: I think is there. I mean, obviously Russell Wilson playing

616
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: much better as we've seen over the last couple of weeks,

617
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: or playing at home, I think they're gonna be comfortable there.

618
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: I think Russell Wilson is really starting to come around,

619
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: and again they're starting to lean on the passing game

620
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: a lot more. Jermaine Curse is actually playing last week

621
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: played of the wide receiver snaps more than Tyler Lockett,

622
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: as much as it pains Matt Harmon's I don't know

623
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: who that is. I don't know who that is. Actually

624
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: think Lockett's have a good week too. But but Jermaine

625
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: Curse I think is uh you know again, he's a

626
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: deep sleeper. I don't know if he's gonna produce, but

627
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: I could see it happening. I'll go out on a

628
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: limb and say five catches for e b rs in

629
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: a touch. All right, let's go, let's go on, let's go.

630
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: He did you here Pittsburgh at Cleveland? MG, My got

631
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: Marks Grant what you're watching for? Uh? Well, franchise talked

632
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: a little bit about Isaiah Crowell in his Fiery Phoner,

633
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: and that is one I'm keeping an eye on, especially

634
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: because Hugh Jackson did come out and kind of make

635
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: that maya cult but that they have not run the

636
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: ball as much as they'd like to, that they haven't

637
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: gotten Crowell involved as much as they want to over

638
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. I mean that's remember the first

639
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: three weeks or so of the season, he was playing

640
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: like a top ten fantasy running back and since then

641
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: they have kind of abandoned the running game. Maybe part

642
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: of it's because they're usually playing from behind. Um. But

643
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: we'll see if they are able to get him going. Look,

644
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 1: I know that last week it was Ezekiel Elliott torching

645
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers, but they still have been vulnerable against the

646
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: run game. And I just can't imagine they want Cody

647
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: Kess let it go back and throw the ball a

648
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: ton of times. UM. On the other side, it's about

649
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: whoever the number two receiver is gonna be in this

650
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh offense. I mean, we know Antonio Brown is going

651
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: to get his opportunities. But you know, is it Eli Rodgers,

652
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: Are they giving Sammy Coats another opportunity? Who is it

653
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: really going to be there? Because whoever that person is,

654
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: there is a chance for them to really give you

655
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: a nice high ceiling because they're probably going to be

656
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: big Ben's downfield threat in the offense. So, uh, you know,

657
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: I would lean towards Eli Rodgers at this point considering

658
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: what we have seen from Sammy Coachs. But you know

659
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: we have been throwing a curveball in this offense before,

660
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be one to watch. I will ask you,

661
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: I'll ask a group about Ben Roethlisberger. Now we know

662
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: about the home road splits on the road, but Cleveland's

663
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: don't care. Plus doesn't he have something about playing in Ohio?

664
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: Usually just he's from he went to school in Ohio

665
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: and from there. I don't believe he's from Ohio, but

666
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: I think because but I just feel like there's some

667
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: narrative about him playing well. These guys are lunatics, all

668
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: of them, so they've got to like keep themselves competitive

669
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: somehow when they're like just great for twenty years. So

670
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: he actually is from the state of there you go,

671
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore at Dallas. Wiz what you got? Well? I mean,

672
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: this is kind of the next best matchup of strength

673
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: versus strength. Last week we had Denver secondary versus New

674
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: Orleans passing attack. Now, as they said, we have Baltimore

675
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: rush defense versus Dallas rushing offense. I would tend to

676
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: side with the Normally, I think some of these kind

677
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 1: of tip in the favor of the defense. But this

678
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: is one where that combination of Dallas O line and

679
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: is Zekiel Elliott is just like historically great. So I

680
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: wouldn't be too concerned on the flip side on the

681
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: Baltimore offense, which is really what we have to look

682
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: at here because we know who we're starting in Dallas,

683
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: including deep sleeper Terence Williams for Matt Harmon. Here we go.

684
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: H you have to wonder, like I just can't trust

685
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: this passing attack right now. I've like I've gone. I

686
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: went back to Steve Smith last week paid off because

687
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 1: he got his touchdown, but like man him and Mike

688
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: Wallace and Dennis Pittow who still hasn't had a touchdown, Like,

689
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: no thanks, I'd even be I I'd be concerned about

690
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: starting Terence West of one guy i'd feel okay about

691
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: as a flex his future Hall of Famer Kennethics And yeah, buddy,

692
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: just because just because of his receiving work. If five

693
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: five catches last week, if there, if you know flacas

694
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: under pressure, they're just trying to move the ball or

695
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: playing catchup as it could Dixon Dixon could offer you

696
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: a nice floor and PPR as a flex. Jacksonville versus

697
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: Detroit in Deetown. Harmon. Harmon's eyes roll through the back

698
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: of his head at that last line of mine there. God, well,

699
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: I think this game is really interesting because it has

700
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: shootout potential, that's for sure. If Blake Bortles cooperates, probably won't,

701
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: which you know he has not been good about about

702
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: cooperating both teams. This is true, This is true. Uh.

703
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 1: Detroit though allows us seventy four point one completion rate

704
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks. The next highest team is sixty nine point

705
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: nine with the Cowboys. I mean, so that just shows

706
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: you it's it's I believe it is this far into

707
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: the season. I believe it is an historically bad completion

708
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: rate allowed. Uh. They allow twenty passing touchdowns just four interceptions.

709
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: So this should be a game where you want to

710
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: get your Jaguars in there. Um. Darius Slay has not

711
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: been shadowing much this year, so I think that that's

712
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: a really good thing for Alan Robinson. I think that

713
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: he's been He's been playing a lot better to the

714
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: last few weeks as well. So I think you can start.

715
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: I think you start Robinson. I think you can start Bordles.

716
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: I think even Marquis Lee is a sleeping generation. This

717
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: week I wrote I did. I wrote him up as

718
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: a spots start. Uh. You know, Alan Hearns has been

719
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: playing like he's in a weird position, that is, Alan

720
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: Hearns like he's he's been playing from the slot. He's

721
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: not been ginning those downfield routes. Um. I think I

722
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: think it's a good spot for Lee. Uh and Julius Thomas.

723
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: I know people are gonna want to chase him because

724
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: the Doyle rules, because yeah, because all tight ends except

725
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: Zach ERT's score touchdowns against the Lions. But Thomas barely

726
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: play He's anymore. He's been under sixty percent of the

727
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: snaps the last two games. After It's gonna be Marcedes Lewis,

728
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: I mean, would it or or Ben Koyak It really

729
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: he's like their third string tight end. No, he's not.

730
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: What's his name, ben Ko Koyak Koyak, I don't know. Ben.

731
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: He was the one that in that Thursday night game

732
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: against the Titans when it was actually garbage time and

733
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: everybody's like, all right, you know this last drive, I'm

734
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: gonna get some a rob points or whatever, and like

735
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: he caught his first five career passes on the drive,

736
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: did Ben Koyak? So? And he's I mean, but he's

737
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,919
Speaker 1: been playing over Julius Thomas in some situations. So and

738
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: thom has been bad all which is sort of why

739
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, you know, Monday, Tuesday, I was

740
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: kind of on the hey Doyle rules start Julius Thomas train.

741
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: And as the week has progressed and I've kind of

742
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 1: been looking into it, I've sort of backed off. He's

743
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: also been he's not playing well this this year. Maybe

744
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: they just line up Allen Robinson as a tight end,

745
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: let's hope. And then on the Lions side, I mean,

746
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: it's this is a pretty confusing distribution right now. Franchise

747
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: shared with us that that no receiver has more than

748
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: of the target share this season. And they've had some

749
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: injuries and everything like that. But Detroit's past, I mean

750
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 1: Jackon's past defense is pretty solid overall. You know they

751
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: they have they have not given up a ton of

752
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: big games. So I think you play guys like Golden

753
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: Tate because he has target totals. The lowest amount of

754
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: targets he's seen the last four weeks is nine, So

755
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: I think you play him. I think you play Eric

756
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 1: he Bron Bo Riddick. But I don't know if I'd

757
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: mess around with Marvin Jones. You don't trust Marvin Jones.

758
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he's scar Marvin Jones. He

759
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 1: hasn't been involved much lately. He hasn't been seeing those

760
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: number one receiver targets. I think when he was doing

761
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: that earlier in the year, teams took notice and started

762
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 1: rolling coverage. Is way the Tennessee at Indianapolis. What you got, MG, guys,

763
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: there might be a watchable a f C South game.

764
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a shoot out. This game could actually

765
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: be an entertaining a f C South game. I mean,

766
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: let's take a moment to just drink that in a

767
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: little bit. I think this there will be offense Galore

768
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: in this one. I mean, obviously on the ten seaside.

769
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: Right now, everything is clicking in that offense, and it

770
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: all starts I guess right now, it kind of starts

771
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: through Marcus Mariota, but I guess it goes back to

772
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: originally de Marco Murray being able to run the ball

773
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: so effective, you know. But just sorry to interrupt there,

774
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: but like Murray busted off that seventy five yards run

775
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: against the Packers, but it's still pretty clear like that

776
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: that that toe injuries bothering him. So Mariota has been

777
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: definitely the last month or so, it has been. But

778
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm saying going back to even early in

779
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: the year before Mariota kind of turned it up a notch.

780
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: It started with with Murray in the running game, and

781
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: so everything is kind of working there. I mean, the

782
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 1: fact that in the last few weeks we've seen Richard

783
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: Matthews and Kindle right be at least viable options, you know,

784
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: be at least you know, the word goes rosterable because

785
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: of what they've done and against that Colts defense. I

786
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: don't really expect any of that to change, and I

787
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if you see the Titans again, maybe

788
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: not as drastic as last week, but jump out to

789
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: a lead against the bad Colts defense. On the flip side,

790
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: that is going to put Andrew Luck in a situation

791
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: where he's probably going to have to throw the football

792
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,959
Speaker 1: a lot like that. I don't think that impacts Frank

793
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: Gore in a negative way because we've seen him still

794
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: be a big part of the passing game and still

795
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: be able to be productive in that situation. But it

796
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: also bodes well for you know, t Y Hilton, Dante Moncrief,

797
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle. Yeah, I can't say Duyne now, and I

798
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: just can't. I can't say that, but everybody else, everybody,

799
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: I think, get some live. I also said that, you know,

800
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a game where we could

801
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: easily see both quarterbacks top three yards passing because I

802
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: just have a feeling that maybe a one of the

803
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: higher scoring games of the week. I do like it.

804
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: I like it a lot. Buffalo at Cincinnati, whiz kid

805
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin, what you got, Well, let's just quick run

806
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: through Buffalo. I think Tyrod's in a good spot this

807
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: week with his rushing ability. Franchise wrote him up in

808
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Ground is having a great matchup with his rushing

809
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: ability and the Cincinnati UH secondary not being up to part.

810
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: They keep drafting cornerbacks in the first round, but none

811
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: of them have really hit as they wanted. They've had

812
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: some reasons, such as well Um and Shandy McCoy are

813
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: starting him. Charles Clayre deep sleeper on Cincinnati side. I

814
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: think I'm kind of off of the backfield in this game.

815
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: The backfield scares the hell out of me. The Bills

816
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: are only allowing like three point eight five yards per

817
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: carry on the season. Uh their fantasy points against number,

818
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: you have to look at that closely. It's inflated by

819
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: ten rushing touchdowns. However, they're extremely susceptible through the air.

820
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: They were supposed to have one of the best young

821
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: quarterback tannems in the league with Stephan Gilmar and Ronald Darby.

822
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: They're not up to snuff. So I love a J

823
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: Green this week. Also, love love love Tyler Eiffert. I

824
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: mean he's played well the last two weeks, but Rank

825
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: noted this in like this like this week. The Bills

826
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: have given up six yard performances on the year, three

827
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: of them have been to tight ends. It's interesting. Wow,

828
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: so Tyler Eifert should eat, a J Green should eat,

829
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: I'd be worried. I'd be happy to start those two.

830
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: I'd be a little bit worried about Dalton if you're

831
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: looking to stream or have him, because the Bills lead

832
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: the league in sacks and Dalton's been sacked eight times.

833
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: Uh and last week that hurt. The Giants got a

834
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: bunch of pressure on him. Last week they had three sacks.

835
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: That thinks six or seven hits um and I don't

836
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: know what the next Gen stats metric with show for that,

837
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: but that that kind of rattled Dalton and he wasn't

838
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 1: able to put up the prolific numbers, but his pass

839
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: catchers still were alright. Tampa Bay at Kansas City, harmon

840
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 1: what you got? Yeah, I think this is a pretty

841
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: straightforward game. We talked about Mike Evans earlier with the

842
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters injury. He's he's in a great spot. I

843
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: think if you're playing daily fantasy, he's a guy that

844
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: you should build around because people might be off of

845
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: him last week from after last week happened and all that,

846
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: But either way, I think he's in a great spot.

847
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: Don't want to start came rait at all in this game.

848
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: Eric Barry and the Chiefs are great at covering the

849
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: tight ends. Really they held Greg Olsen last week. They

850
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: haven't really allowed a big game to a tight end

851
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: all season. Uh. And then the backfield, I think that

852
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: Doug martin Is is pretty much back now. He had

853
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: seventeen touches last week. You know, he didn't play a

854
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: ton of snap, but he got in the end zone.

855
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: I think he overtakes the backfield and plays the majority

856
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: of the snaps this week. So that's about all on

857
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: the Buck side though, to be honest, like the Chief's

858
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: defense has played a lot better there at home, even

859
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: if they're missing Marcus Piers. I think that they are

860
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: starting to get cooking. And then on the Chief side,

861
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: I play Spencer were confidently, and I think Tyreek Hill

862
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: is at this point the leader in the clubhouse at

863
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. Like he caught ten catches for

864
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 1: eighty nine yards last week. Yeah, I mean the guy's

865
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: got four to speed man, Like, what how do you

866
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 1: have ten catches for less than ninety yards? May still sense,

867
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: Alex Baby, it's a great spot for these Chiefs receivers.

868
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: But outside of like hoping for a big player, maybe

869
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: even a safe flour from Hill. You're you're kind of

870
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: playing with fire. Chris Connley is out there all the time.

871
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: He's not doing anything sure, I mean he doesn't really

872
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: fit with Alex Smith at all. And and Bert is

873
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: you know, hit or miss. Okay, there you go Chicago

874
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: at the New York Giants. MG, what you get? Well,

875
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 1: you know it's inspiring start to this segment. I'm jazzed

876
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: up to listen to your analysis as the brilliant. As

877
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: the brilliant Earnest Layer once wrote, the outlook was bleak

878
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: for the Chicago Bears that day. Um, it hasn't been

879
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,959
Speaker 1: good this week. I mean, Alshon Jeffrey gets suspended, Kyle

880
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: Long is on injured reserve, Jay Cutler is still the quarterback. Um,

881
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: so that means the bar the Bear is gonna go

882
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: and ball out this week because everything suggests that they won't.

883
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: You know, Cameron Meredith obviously becomes the wide receiver of

884
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: record here Jordan Howard, you know, we we sort of

885
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: kind of joked, you know, earlier in the week when

886
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: people asked him if he was hurt and he was like, nah, Um,

887
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: apparently he's not because he's not on the injury report.

888
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: You go so story, it was so weird. No, no

889
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: shock that John Fox is at the apparently apparently Dr

890
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: Howard is on top of things with his own you know,

891
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: medical prognosis here. Um, they are going to have to

892
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: I think lean on him, which is gonna be very

893
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: dicey because the Giants can tend to be stronger upfront. Um,

894
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: but you know they're you're relying on Cameron Meredith, You're

895
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 1: lying on Eddie Royal. I mean, there was some talk

896
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: that Marcus all Zach Miller, I think we'll get a

897
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: lot of love. That was talked that Marcus Wilson maybe

898
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: I could possibly suit up, But I think that is

899
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: right now? Is that was that from a bar? Now?

900
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: I believe he is an akbar all star Um loves himself. Um,

901
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: you know I am. I just I am so uncertain

902
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,720
Speaker 1: about what the Bears can offer offensively that I feel

903
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: like Jordan Howard is the only one I have any

904
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: level of confidence in. Everything else just really really concerns me.

905
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: Odell could go off. On the other side, O'Dell could

906
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: certainly go off. Um. I think I think Sterling Shepard

907
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: could end up having a pretty decent day, and I

908
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: think part of it is if we see the j

909
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: Cutler we have come to know and unloved over the

910
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: last couple of years, the Bears are gonna turn the

911
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: ball over and that means more possessions for the Giants.

912
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: The problem with that for New York they can't run

913
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: the football, whether it's Rashan Jennings or Paul Perkins or

914
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: Orleans Darkwater O J. Anderson, they can't move the ball

915
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: on the ground. That means Eli Man is gonna have

916
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,479
Speaker 1: to put it up a little bit more. That means

917
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: good things for O. B J. That means good things

918
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: for Sterling Shepard. Victor Cruz potentially is back this week,

919
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: so good things there too. Arizona Minnesota, where's what you got? Uh?

920
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: This is an interesting one because pretty much the only

921
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: person we there's two players who want to start from

922
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: Minnesota and and neither appears to be in a great

923
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: spot because Stefan Diggs looked to be in a good

924
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: place because they've been moving around a lot playing about

925
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: of this slot. But Bruce Arians came out at the

926
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: beginning of the week and was like, we're gonna put

927
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: Pat Peterson on and that's the end of that discussion,

928
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: which is worrisome because Peterson is playing at an outstanding

929
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: level and the Cardinals were getting ripped up through the

930
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: slot like Jeremy Curly had that crazy game against them

931
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: Tursday night and even last week again, So I'd be

932
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: concerned about Digs this week. If pat p does in

933
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: fact shadow him, you know what happen, It's going to

934
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 1: be an Adam Feeling game. Baby, it could be very

935
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: well being Adam DeLand almost picked him from a deep sleeper.

936
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: And Kyle Rudolph has been an outstanding tight end, but

937
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: Arizona has just shut down tight ends like it's not

938
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: even like a weird fp A thing, like oh they

939
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: haven't faced anybody good. They've just even tight end like

940
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: all of them are out. The trouble is like you're

941
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: stuck in a tough spot with Rudolph because he is

942
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: seeing good volume, but like, do you trust the matchup?

943
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: I actually, in our Dynasty League picked up Vernon Davis

944
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: and I'm starting him over this week. That's that's what

945
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 1: you look at there. On the flip side, I mean,

946
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: this is a is a pretty concentrated game because the

947
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: same token, the Minnesota defense is still good and I'm

948
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm starting David Johnson and maybe Lair Fitzgerald and that's

949
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 1: it because everybody else is too and consistent right now,

950
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 1: Like John Brown has been bad. They've been saying he's

951
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: been sick all year, which attributed to everything. So I

952
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: don't think you can start him until we hear or

953
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: see that he's right. Flip a coin. Is this a

954
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: good Michael Floyd week or a bad Michael Floyd I

955
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: don't know. Like, I'm sorry, that's not good analysis, but

956
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: if you're desperate, sure, And then h Carson Palmer, no thanks.

957
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: And then J. J. Nelson like he got his got

958
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: promoted and then proceeded to drop balls and have things

959
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: bonce off his elbows and go to turnovers. So this

960
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: is a pretty got straight a game. I mean, Diggs

961
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: is a risk. Rudolph's risk fits this kind of a risk.

962
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: David Johnson, no matter what, it is the game that

963
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: I will not be watching. You talked about Stefan Diggs too,

964
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: and I saw the I believe you've retweeted at Harmon

965
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 1: the Grand Barfield tweet about the target share that Stefon

966
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: Diggs is seeing. But Sam Bradford, my analysis of him

967
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: is much like it is. Well, you know, Alex Smith,

968
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: it's sort of the same. That's all right, there you go. Uh.

969
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: Next game on the dock in Miami versus l A,

970
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: Jared Goff gonna be making his triumphant debut for the Rams.

971
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: Go Bears. What you got? Triumphant is one way to

972
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: put it. Yeah, I think it's probably gonna be ugly.

973
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm not looking forward to. I mean, I don't think

974
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: the Rams even really want to play him, but I

975
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: think they are finally succumbing to the pressure of the

976
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: fact that Kingdom has been so poor lately that they

977
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: just don't really have any other choice, especially here. But

978
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: they're breaking ground in their new stadium, they might as

979
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: well break ground on a new quarterback and see how

980
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: it goes. I don't want to start any passing game

981
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: assets for or the Rams. I mean, I think you

982
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: can throw Kenny Britt out there, and I guess I

983
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: don't know it's it's matchup wise, it should be a

984
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: halfway decent spot for Todd Gurley, but the Dolphins have

985
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: allowed under four yards to carry the last month. Uh.

986
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: I don't think Jared Goff being the starting quarterback makes

987
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,959
Speaker 1: a damn bit of difference to that outlook, So you

988
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: know what you're getting yourself into with Todd Gurley. Have

989
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: fun with that UH as the Dolphins side go I

990
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: of course, like j J I, I think you play

991
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: him every week though the Rams are tough front. The

992
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: passing game is interesting because Ryan Tannehill had had a

993
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: really good game last week against the Chargers, especially as

994
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: a deep pass or something we don't think of him

995
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: as UH, and that play action game is really helping

996
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill be able to get the deep all off.

997
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,760
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know if I trust Vante

998
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: Parker or Kenny Stills in this spot. And Jarvis Landry,

999
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we need to talk about him

1000
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: as a guy that you can't even really start any

1001
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 1: more in standard leagues and PPR, I guess whatever you

1002
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: can get away with it. But for the last two years,

1003
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: every to use him as an extension of the running

1004
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: game because in their opinion, they did not have a

1005
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: true feature back, so to get like an easy four

1006
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: or five yards, they would just dump it off to

1007
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: Uh into to Jarvis Landry there. But you know that

1008
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 1: is not happening anymore, and now that they have a

1009
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: foundation back so I don't know if you can feel

1010
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: confident about playing him at all, whether you want to

1011
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: call a Week five with Tennessee when a had like

1012
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: four yards and a touchdown and looked to start being

1013
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: to take over that backfield, or the game against Pittsburgh

1014
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: when he actually did. Uh. Here, Landry's target told us

1015
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: the last five weeks three, nine, eight, six, six, right,

1016
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,320
Speaker 1: and the way he plays the game that he's about

1017
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: like he can't have even just eight targets. That's not

1018
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: a truth. Yeah, And the only games where he was

1019
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,479
Speaker 1: more usable in fantasy were those nine and eight game

1020
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: nine and eight target games. But that's two of five

1021
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: the last five weeks, Like New England at San Francisco, MG,

1022
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: what you got? Well, g W Grank officially ruled out.

1023
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I was just about to say.

1024
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport just tweeted Inman, Togo that Gronk is not

1025
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: on the plane to head to the Bay Area, so

1026
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: he's not going to play this week. Um. But since

1027
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots are coming to northern California, there are a

1028
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: couple of narratives to play. One. Tom Brady is coming

1029
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: back home to the South Bay. Growing up in San Mateo,

1030
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: not terribly far from Santa Clara. Also Julian Edelman, who

1031
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: was from Redwood City, which is not far from Santa Clara.

1032
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's a DFS stack right there. So you've

1033
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: got the Brady, You've got the Brady Edelman stack, because

1034
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: they'll both be back home in in the Bay Area playing.

1035
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: I don't student thunder, but quick aside for those that

1036
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: are scoffing at the homecoming narrative, you know, Damian Williams

1037
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: scored two touchdowns last week. It's going back home. Oh boom. Well,

1038
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: Brady also mentioned, like mentioned it, that he was gonna

1039
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: be up for this game. And I think I was

1040
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: listening to this on the DFS Edge podcast with Levitan

1041
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: and Alzidenfeld and Peter Jennings. They were saying apparently he

1042
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: said something like, yeah, the forty Niners told me in

1043
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 1: a workout back when I was drafted that I wasn't

1044
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: what they're looking for. And you know I mentioned earlier

1045
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: like these guys or lunatics, like they use any sort

1046
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: of motivation to play this psychotic game every week when

1047
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: they're at the even at their peak performance. So apparently

1048
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: Brady's taken it seriously, Hey, look, when you have a

1049
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,280
Speaker 1: chance to pass a guy like Tom Brady for Giovanni Carmazzi,

1050
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: you gotta do it. I don't know that that sounds

1051
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: like I don't even that's a fake name, but I

1052
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: love that narrative. But like it. Yeah, well, I just

1053
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: like these guys are These guys are literally insane. One more?

1054
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 1: What does he need to get him up at this point? Anymore?

1055
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: One more? One more? One more piece of fake analysis

1056
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: on Tom Brady is at the last time he was

1057
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: in that stadiument Leviz, he was booed super Bowl. H

1058
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: So but really, but seriously, I mean on the field,

1059
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots obviously are a vastly superior team to the

1060
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: forty niners, and they have the ability to do whatever

1061
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: they want. They can run the football with the Garrett Blunt,

1062
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,720
Speaker 1: I think we'll probably see a little more of James

1063
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 1: White than Dion Lewis, if you know, Bill Belichick is

1064
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: to believe insert laughter here, um, but I think that

1065
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: means James White will probably see some more balls out

1066
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: of the backfield as a receiver. Lea. Garrett Blunt is

1067
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: going to continue to be the hammer. Uh you know, no,

1068
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: Gronks so instead we'll just throw it to our other

1069
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: monstrous athletic tight end a Martellis Bennett. Right, it's so terrible.

1070
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 1: So you know, I think I feel like the only

1071
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: people you can't really start in the Patriots offense, you know,

1072
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 1: guys like Danny Avendola, Chris Hogan, you know, that's kind

1073
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: of it. But everybody else is pretty much a go.

1074
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: On the Niner side. I actually like Colin Kaepernick as

1075
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback this week fantasy wise, because one,

1076
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: he is running the football and he obviously he's not

1077
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 1: the same guy they were when they went to the

1078
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl a few years back, but he's kind of

1079
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: starting to get comfortable. It looks like in the Chip

1080
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,919
Speaker 1: Kelly offense, he's getting out of the pocket and making

1081
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: plays with his legs. And if this game goes the

1082
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: way I think it will, he'll be forced to throw

1083
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: the ball in the second half as the Niners are

1084
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: playing from behind. Hopefully there is better news for Carlos

1085
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: Hide this week. Who you know had was at fourteen

1086
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 1: or thirteen yards on fourteen carries Vice Verson. There's fourteen

1087
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: yards on thirteen carries either way, it was good, So

1088
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: I would think that he'll be a little bit better

1089
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: this week because he gets a little bit healthier. Um,

1090
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 1: you know, and if you really just kind of want

1091
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: to yolo play again, Guys like Quentin Patton and Jeremy

1092
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: Curley have been a big part of what they do

1093
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: because they're throwing a lot of short intermediate passes trying

1094
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: to get back in football games. All right, all Avian

1095
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 1: matchup Philadelphia Seattle, wiz kid from Wisconsin. U um anyways,

1096
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: um so Seattle passing attack great c J process. The

1097
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: Eagles defense is fantastic. They've shown a little more, Uh,

1098
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: they've been a little looser to offenses. That's not it's

1099
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: not a good expression to say, but you guys threw

1100
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: me off with this bird cause and they haven't been

1101
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: as great on the road, is what I'm trying to say.

1102
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: And I also think this Seattle offense is hitting its

1103
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: stride to the point where we don't need to worry

1104
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: about matchups with them much like they were late last

1105
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: see and so Doug Baldwin, Jimmy Grahamie, I'm still too

1106
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: chicken to play Thomas Rawls. I don't know how you

1107
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 1: guys feel, but that's just me on the flip side

1108
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: Franchise wrote a passionate argument for Ryan Matthews in his

1109
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: errand Ground this week. You can read it at NFL

1110
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: dot com. Slash Franziskovic made a very good point that

1111
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: we kind of been we kind of got duped by

1112
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: toothache gate. I guess because Matthews his diminished snaps that

1113
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: we talked about so much in weeks eight and nine

1114
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: were partly because he had a toothache that like couldn't

1115
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 1: even get his helmet on. He had a root canal

1116
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: to solve that. Then last week he went off. More

1117
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: importantly though, Seattle without Michael Bennett over their last four games,

1118
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: has allowed three one hundred yard rushing performances and four

1119
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns running back. So if this Eagles team wants

1120
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: to have a prayer, they're going to need to play

1121
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: the same kind of game they did last week against

1122
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 1: Atlanta and control the clock, move the ball. They're gonna

1123
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 1: do that through Ryan Matthews, and that's a tough ask.

1124
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: It's I know it's a tough ask, but like I said,

1125
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: three the last four games, hundred hundred plus yard rusher

1126
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 1: and uh I could maybe see trotting out sprawls in

1127
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: PPR nothing else, and then Jordan Matthew should avoid Richard

1128
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: Sherman in the slot unless they do the rare thing

1129
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,919
Speaker 1: where they have him shadow somebody, because why waste Richard

1130
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: Sherman on d GB or not. But other other than that,

1131
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 1: that's about it. I wouldn't I would could you could

1132
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: play Seattle defense as usual. I wouldn't play the Eagles

1133
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:22,720
Speaker 1: defense in this game though, green Bay at Washington, Matt Harmon, sure, yeah,

1134
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: So I think for Washington this is like an everybody

1135
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: in the pool sort of game. The Green Bay defense

1136
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: has not been playing well. They continue to sustain injuries.

1137
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: I think Rob Kelly can have an okay game, but

1138
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: I just hate using a two down plotting running back

1139
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 1: against a solid run defense in a potential shootout. I mean,

1140
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: just realized that the dude has like a four point

1141
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 1: floor because he could easily rush like twelve times for

1142
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,760
Speaker 1: forty yards and that's that. And if he doesn't score touchdown,

1143
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 1: you're screwed. But if he does have a big game,

1144
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 1: I think you sell him after this because his schedule

1145
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 1: down the stretches trash. But anyways, back to this game,

1146
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: I think Washington's great Kirk Cousins average over three yards

1147
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: pass per game this year, so I think you can

1148
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: play him with confidence at home. UH. And then on

1149
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay side, I expect Jordy Nelson to see a

1150
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: lot of Josh Norman on the outside. But he's also

1151
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: been playing a good amount of yards in the slot

1152
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks. We talked about how he

1153
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: wasn't getting open earlier in the season. UH. Per next

1154
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: gent stats, his yards of separation at target where was

1155
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: two point four yards in the beginning of the season.

1156
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: That is under the NFL average, But since Week eight,

1157
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: he's averaged three point five yards of separation. A lot

1158
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: of that has to do with him playing in the slot.

1159
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: He's gotten forty two point seven percent of these yards

1160
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: in the slot the last three weeks, and so I

1161
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 1: expect him to be able to get off Norman a

1162
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: little bit, and he's been good since then. So I

1163
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: like Jordy, I like Davante Adams in this game. I

1164
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 1: like Randall cob out of the slot in this game.

1165
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 1: So I mean again, I think this is a really

1166
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: good potential shootout there on Sunday Night Football and something

1167
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: we could see develop into a lot of fantasy real

1168
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: quick an update for the Patriots. Not only is Gronk out,

1169
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 1: but the Chris Hogan has been ruled out, so you

1170
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about even starting him. There the

1171
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: UM one to add real quick on the Rob Kelly debate,

1172
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: because I know franchise and I actually have a beer

1173
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: wager over this UH eight points. I thought it was

1174
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 1: just Rob Kelly out scores James Stone. Oh, That's what

1175
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: it was. But my worry with Kelly, I think I

1176
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: think he's good. I've been a fan of him since

1177
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: the preseason. He's any pretty good spot against the defense.

1178
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: My worry is that if this game does turn into

1179
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: a shootout, he's going to be riding the pine in

1180
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: favor of Chris Thompson because I wrote about this in

1181
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy Audibles this week. UM, when they played the Bengals

1182
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: before they're by a twenty seven tie, that was more

1183
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: of a more of a shootout. Thompson out snapped Kelly,

1184
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: and thirty nine of Thompson's forty seven UH plays came

1185
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: on or snaps came on passing plays. So if this

1186
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: Washington offense, which has already passed heavy, is trading blows

1187
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, and the Packers. Rob Kelly is not

1188
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: going to be out there in prime time, in prime time,

1189
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: come on, So Thompson could be Thompson could be a

1190
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: deep sleeper in PPR. I completely agree. I I mean,

1191
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: I hate owning backs like that in fantasy. I mean,

1192
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: unless it's like Garrett Blunt, who's like the souped up

1193
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: version of a two down runner. But you know, he's

1194
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: on the best offense in the league, and Washington has

1195
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: been a good offense, but they're not that, Like you're

1196
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: basically if he doesn't score a touchdown or if he

1197
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: doesn't get twenty carries, you're screwed. Like, there's a lot

1198
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: of ways those kind of backs can go wrong. Houston

1199
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: at Oakland, not at Oakland, at Mexico City, we go

1200
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: to Marcos. Uh, Houston, there's Lamar Miller. There's Lamar Miller.

1201
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: That's kind of it. Um. I mean, look, there is

1202
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: always the possibility there is a m hunt alright, oh

1203
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: my bad. Yes. Also, look there's there's always that possibility

1204
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: that that brock Osweiler could put up a semi decent

1205
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: fantasy number against the Raiders defense. But this is instead

1206
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: of strength versus strength, this is week versus week. It

1207
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: really kind of is I mean, like, do you really

1208
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: want to rely on brock Osweiler? Is that? Is that

1209
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: the kind of life you want to live? It's not,

1210
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: you don't want to live that kind of life. I

1211
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: mean we're talking about a guy who has yet to

1212
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: throw for two hundred and seventy yards in a game

1213
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 1: this season. Um, and you like, like I said, he

1214
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: could turn around and spas out and put up you know,

1215
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: sixteen to eighteen points. But I don't want to live

1216
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: that way. So that means no US while they're obviously,

1217
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: but that means no nuke. Uh, it means no Will Fuller.

1218
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't you know, any one of their seventeen tight

1219
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 1: ends that they've got there. I just I don't want

1220
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: any part of that. Lamar Miller and maybe a chem

1221
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: hunt if you're swinging for the fences, it's about all

1222
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 1: you can really count on there. On the other side,

1223
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: for the Raiders, this is not a bad Texans defense,

1224
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 1: although they do get worn down because their offense can't

1225
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: move the football at any point. Um, I still would

1226
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: take a chance on on Derek Carr on those white outs,

1227
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: Cooper and Crabtree. Um, you know, We'll see how the

1228
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: backfield touches shake out, and I know they've been able

1229
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: to move the ball on the ground. The Tavious Murray

1230
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: has had a couple of nice games, and DeAndre Washington's

1231
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: played well. I still would like, for our own selfish

1232
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: fantasy purposes, for Jack del Rio to kind of settle

1233
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: on a guy and have somebody that you know, can

1234
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,439
Speaker 1: get you know, fifteen the eighteen touches the game that's

1235
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: been really hard to come buy in this offense. But

1236
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 1: I still I think would feel okay with giving with

1237
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: Tavis Murray a shot in this one. And who knows. Hey,

1238
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: Look they're playing in Mexico City, which I believe it

1239
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: was about two thousand feet higher elevation than even Denver Man.

1240
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: Let's step back and just chuck it deep. Let's go elevations.

1241
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: One thing I will add about that though, as though

1242
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 1: the wide receivers go. This was in our next Gen

1243
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: stats pack. It was a good nugget that crab Tree

1244
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: will probably see more of Jonathan Joseph, who has been

1245
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: one of the better cornerbacks in the league defending the

1246
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: deep ball. Can I can I say this as well? Though?

1247
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: Uh we talked about the elevation. Now, this is a

1248
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: real thing though, Okay, Like I would imagine from one

1249
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: of your doctor friends, negative, I would, I would imagine

1250
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 1: that both got. I mean, if you're it's hard to

1251
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: go deep repeatedly at elevation because guys winning tired, and

1252
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,919
Speaker 1: it's not like they're going there, you know, a week

1253
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: in advance or whatever to get used to the elevation.

1254
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: They're just gonna have to go out there and play.

1255
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough. I think, I think, I think

1256
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: that I think that Monday night game is gonna be

1257
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: pretty ugly. Could be all right, daily DAPs to get

1258
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: let's do it, because I'll be all right daily dap time.

1259
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 1: I'll start us off. How about that? Yeah, all right,

1260
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: I will give a daily damp Because it is Mic

1261
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: Ribb season. I freaking love the Mick rib I don't

1262
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 1: know why. I know it's fake meat and I could

1263
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: get a better barbecue meat sandwich most anywhere, most anywterally,

1264
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: and but I don't care. I don't know what it

1265
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: is about it. I absolutely love when the mic Ribb

1266
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: comes back. I have no shame. I respect that. I

1267
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 1: respect you being open and about that on the podcast,

1268
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 1: I do. I do not respect. I just want to

1269
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: be respect his openness, the fact that I would prefer

1270
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: you to keep that kind of stuff to yourself. Listen, Pal,

1271
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: after the after the podcast, I'm going straight to Mickey Knees.

1272
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm getting I'm getting three mic ribs and I'm just

1273
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: going to town. I'm blocking you on Twitter on your phone,

1274
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: and I'm leading your number from my phone. Okay, good? Uh.

1275
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: I will also daily dap the Halo franchise, which is

1276
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: now celebrating the fifteen year anniversary since its inception. I

1277
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: cannot tell you how many hours and months I have

1278
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: wasted playing the Halo franchise. But it's been a lot

1279
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: of fun. I love it, especially when they went Halo

1280
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 1: three and they went online. Oh boy, well, Halo two

1281
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: is the first one that was online, and then they

1282
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: perfected it in Halo three, and Halo three like came

1283
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: out actually like the first week I was in college. So,

1284
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: dear Ord, did we spend an inordinate amount of time

1285
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: playing Halo three multiplayer? That is tremendous and I love it.

1286
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: So there you go my daily DAPs. Matt Harmon, what

1287
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 1: you got? Uh? So my daily DAP. I guess uh,

1288
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: it's going to be the show West World. On HBO,

1289
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 1: we talked about I have I have call spoilers because

1290
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for me I have it up. But let

1291
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: me just say I will say and I will not

1292
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: spoil anything. But it took me a little bit to

1293
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: warm up to it's slow at the beginning. But I

1294
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: am all the way now. I mean I am all

1295
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: the way in if you can battle through the first

1296
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: three three and a half episodes, it's it's definitely a

1297
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 1: slow First of all, I've I've I've said this about

1298
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: the show. It's and I don't mean this in a

1299
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 1: negative way. It's the best show where nothing happens. You're right,

1300
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: it takes its damn time because there's so many characters

1301
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: at the beginning of it too, and you're like, which

1302
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 1: one of these should I give a damn about? Like,

1303
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: it's hard to do. It's hard, and it is slow.

1304
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: That's my main complaint. That's why I haven't watched anything

1305
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: past episode two. But but and and like, yeah, you

1306
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: dropped off when we when we first started, and that's fine,

1307
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 1: but like it's like the concept of it was incredibly

1308
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 1: fascinating at first, and it really that that remains very

1309
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: fascinating and was enough to keep me going, but now

1310
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 1: definitely completely And this is why I stopped, because I

1311
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: was like, if this continues and it doesn't get much better,

1312
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be so mad. I wasted ten to thirty

1313
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: in my life on this, so I was like, what

1314
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 1: you're saying. I was like, I'm gonna sit. We have

1315
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 1: HBO go. If it's great, then boom over the holidays

1316
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: or whatever. I all bang through three episodes a day

1317
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 1: as soon as the season is over. But until then,

1318
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, I'm out. I can't

1319
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: do that. AMO Like, I almost fell asleep hard to

1320
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: the first two episodes, and I don't fall asleep during television.

1321
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: Hard let me run out as the guinea pig. You

1322
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: go out there and waste your time. I don't think

1323
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: it's not. This is not one of those marathon shows though,

1324
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: because you can't. It's hard to binge watch. It's hard.

1325
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: It is a hard bene If I want to catch up,

1326
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: I'll knock out. I said a couple I'm not gonna watch. No,

1327
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's hard, which is still not a

1328
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: ringing endorsement. Like, man, this show is so good, but

1329
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: you can't watch like more than one. You really you

1330
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: really have to like, yeah, god, it's yeah, it's it's

1331
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: one of those shows like it's not for this is

1332
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: not This is not a New York style pizza where

1333
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 1: you can like, you know, show down on a few slices.

1334
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: This is a Chicago deep dish. Like you get in

1335
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 1: there and you get one and you're all right, let

1336
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 1: me digest, breathe, and then we'll come back. There's a

1337
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: lot going on like it. By the way, if you do,

1338
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 1: for anyone listening, if you do watch this show, don't

1339
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 1: skip over the previews, uh, like the teaser previews before

1340
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: the show happens, because the way they edit that altogether,

1341
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: it's very concise and actually helps you, yes, you keep

1342
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 1: things together, and it actually shows you connects dots that

1343
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have caught maybe on your own. It's really good.

1344
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: So there you go. You might Uh my daily that

01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: It's sweet potato. Similar to when you said, what what

1361
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: did you say when we were at the Gulf that

1365
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: I tweeted that quote out. So but it was it

1366
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: was a really it was a really fun event. I

1367
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: believe they were about somewhere around thirty entrants this year.

1368
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: I think it grows. It grows every year, like thirty entrants. Um,

1369
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: there were a few savory pies. Dylan Milner had a

1370
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 1: very good Shepherd's pie. Uh and uh, big props go

1371
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: out to Dan Hansas, the CEO of Handsas Corp. His

1372
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: his mother in law who was in town from Texas,

1373
01:07:54,200 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: made a phenomenal chocolate chip pecan pie that had I

1374
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: guess like a bourbon whipped cream as like a bourbon

1375
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 1: infused in the caramel or something. It was amazing. Uh.

1376
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: And so for hands Corp it was their third win

1377
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: in five seasons. Amazing. And at the end, Uh, Mama

1378
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,759
Speaker 1: bates Dan hands Is mother in law dropped the bomb

1379
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: on the crowd by saying she was retiring from the pie.

1380
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: Did Hands lift up the trophy and say like this

1381
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: one is for Mama? That would have been great. It

1382
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: didn't quite happen, but that would have been amazing. And

1383
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: the Dylan Milner has kind of cemented himself as the

1384
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills of this pie content. He keeps getting to

1385
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: the final He keep he was He was the runner

1386
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 1: up this year again. Yeah, always surprise maid. But he's

1387
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: the Susan Lucci of the pie off. That's impressive because

1388
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: he came through with a savory pie. It was a

1389
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: very good savory. It was damn good. It was very good.

1390
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: It was a Shepherd's pies. I mentioned that he included

1391
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: his own homemade beer because he's also a craft brewer.

1392
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 1: It was good. You know, the problem with the Pie

1393
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Off as a competition, like as an entrant in it, well,

1394
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 1: and this is not really a problem because you get

1395
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: the pie, Like I was very happy with that my pie,

1396
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 1: like it was the first pie ever made. I was

1397
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:12,639
Speaker 1: literally never until that. I was pleased with the pleased

1398
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: with everything. But the problem is, like you go through

1399
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 1: and you're eating all like it's the only competition where

1400
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 1: you're also like enjoying other people's things. Like you go

1401
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: through and I ate, like Mama hands, there's their Mama

1402
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: bates is pie, and I'm like, oh man, I lost

1403
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 1: when when I when I had that pie in my well,

1404
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 1: this one's over. Oh yeah, yeah, it's it's hard to

1405
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 1: be but at the same time, but it also it

1406
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 1: also gave me some ideas on how to be more

1407
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: creative and successful in case I decided to enter Pie

1408
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 1: Off six. I see, Oh, I'm I'm in on Pie

1410
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,400

1411
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 1: the Piesman trophy, the Piesman trophy, Yes, the pie analogies

1412
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 1: and the the pie pons out of control. I didn't

1413
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 1: watch any of it, but I can only imagine if

1414
01:09:56,960 --> 01:10:00,040
Speaker 1: check is running this show, the opportunity to pies and

1415
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 1: trophies a lot of puns. And it also starts about

01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 1: half hour later. Kay Wiscons, Uh real quick. I've dapped

1417
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: the show two or three times in this podcast before,

1418
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:13,680

1422
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:23,839
Speaker 1: lot of really real issues. I think the inner personal

1423
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 1: relationships between the characters are much more real and not

1424
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: telegraphed and phony like you see in a lot of sitcoms.

1425
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: It's it's real people with real issues and real personalities,

1426
