00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,840

00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: week of your playoffs. And Adam Rank is back with

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,280

Speaker 1: up on your column online too, and Wonder Woman Sons

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: of Anarchy. Wonder Woman, we talked a little wrestling. I'm

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: gonna discuss this John scene of business with a little

10
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: Randy organ mitched in and you know thing usual, I guess,

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, and sometimes I throw in a little fantasy

12
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: football on that fellow. Really, people, you know what this

13
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: is the thing that offends me. People call it a

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: fluff car. I go, there is not a column on

15
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: this site that has more statistical And sure I might

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: lead in by comparing Eli Manning to the new Wonder Woman,

17
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: but that's what you get past that. It's all stats.

18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: You have Wonder Woman's measurements, those are stats. We need

19
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: to know those compared to Linda Carter, where they are now,

20
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: how they evolve over the years. So I'm not touching

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: that one. What you know, like when the Carter telling

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: us all the big game previews for Week four, team

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: plenty of snow. If you guys hear snow in the forecast,

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: anything that makes you say, I'm not playing this guy

25
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: because there's too much snow. No, no, no, I mean

26
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: especially as a player too. I mean, you see snow,

27
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: some guys, you know, a lot of guys aren't exposed

28
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: to the elements like that, and some guys really get

29
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: excited to play, and so you see guys just going on.

30
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: So we put too much on this whole weather thing.

31
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: That weather thing is overrap. I don't know. It's made

32
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: me downgrade butter Fingers McGhee from an RB too. So

33
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's just snow, that's all. It is, just

34
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: frozen like water. That's the way. Who's butter Fingers McGhee.

35
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: You know that that guy that keeps putting the football,

36
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: and Stephen Ridley already downgraded that guy. You're like, don't

37
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: even show up. You just might as well just be like, hey,

38
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't need to come in, like Peyton Manning. Right,

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: all right, we'll have that and more right now on

40
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: the podcast. Don't forget Bears probable running back Matt Forte

41
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: joining US Live a little later talk about his big

42
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: matchup favorable. I think he's got to just be frothing

43
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: at the mouth thinking about playing the Cowboys, and so

44
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: it was fantasy owner. He already has five Fantasy point

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: he does, yeah, a lot. We're also going to discuss

46
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: the fantasy impact of the Texans firing heage coach Gary

47
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Kubiak Wade Phillips the interim coach for the rest of

48

Speaker 1: they kicked off your fantasy playoffs beginning of the end.

53
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: For Texans coach Gary Kubiak, Thursday Night Football, Andre Johnson,

54
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: he would have a huge night, Las Jones, Drew. Could

55
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: he get the red hot Jaguars and other victory. Second quarter,

56
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: Jack's already up seven nothing and look it's Cecil Shorts

57
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: doing and he says up and says, yeah, barn me again.

58
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: Passed the whole night though, Bar fourteen nothing Jags under

59
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: two minutes ago till halftime case Keenum the touchdown a

60
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: key Shawn Martin Texans trail seven seven. Say that helped

61
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: very few people. Help somebody midway through the third and

62
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: j D gets the handoff and the Texans getting tackling

63
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: lessons from Aquar for this play right here. I didn't

64
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: teach him there, but I can't tell you one thing.

65
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: M j D is back. That's the old end had

66
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: eight yards on the run two plays later. Little trickery here,

67
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: it's Henny to a Sanders, A Sanders to Jordan Todman

68
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: for the Touchdow has more touchdown passes than Keeno Fitz

69
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: in the World Series. Yes, that's why exactly talked about

70
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: that both the end j D nearly under the third

71
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: quarter match shop in a quarterback shod to Garrett Graham,

72
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: who had a very big night. That Texas now team

73
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: under six minutes left to go, shop for Andre johnson

74
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: twenty two yard catch helped a lot of somebody. Yeah,

75
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean j Johnson is just a beast at the

76
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. Third team for one fifty four, a

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: little more than two minutes left to go. It's shop

78
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: and he finds J. L. Hayes, who unfortunately placed for

79
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. The interception clinches the win for the Jags.

80
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: They take it twenty seven to twenty the final game

81
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: in the tenure of Gary Kubiak, his head coach of

82
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: the Texas of Jaguars. Improved to four and nine. Here's

83
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: your fantasy points for the night. Andre Johnson over fifteen

84
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: fantasy points. We told you to start him, Garret Graham

85
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: over thirteen. Then take Michael Fabiano. I know it's tough

86
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: for you to look at that number there. I can't

87
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: even look at Akbar either, because I started app throw throw,

88
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: Throw Throw. M j D gave you a twelve point

89
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: three fantasy points, so we're gonna start off with him.

90
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: Another nice game from m j D, who has been

91
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: playing very well. He did leave the game with an injury.

92
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: We'll have more on that coming up in a couple

93
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: of minutes. But famis looks like m j D is bad. Well.

94
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: We've been saying that for several weeks. He is putting

95
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: up consistently double digit fantasy points regardless of the opponent. Peck,

96
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: He's had some good games against some of the tougher

97
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: run defenses. Even if his stat line is eleven carries

98
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: for thirteen years, he's getting into the end, Zoe. Andre Johnson,

99
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: we saw his hundred and fifty four yard game Thursday

100
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: night at par It's kind of like we've seen some

101
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: other wide receivers. Doesn't matter who's throwing in the football,

102
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna make plays. Yeah, we've seen that. And and J.

103
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: Johnson is just a big time player. He's a bombonical

104
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver since that forty point game that he put

105
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: up an Indie. Of course he's going back to Indie

106
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: next week. But he has just been on fire and

107
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: has not let loose. I mean when you look at

108
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson, he's going to carry this your your fantasy team.

109
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: I like how you said let moose right there. That

110
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: was pretty nice. Is that what a moose sounds like?

111
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: I think? So? Right? All right, here's Ben tape fats

112
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: a bed week. Unfortunately it hurt you, but can you

113
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: trust him going forward? I still think he's a borderline

114
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: RV two or three. Last night a bomb bad, babonically bad.

115
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter here is this was not

116
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: any fall the Venta. They stopped running the ball in

117
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: the second half trying to eliminate that deficit. What was

118
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: straight pass plays not going your score fantasy point is

119
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: running back when your offense is doing that kind of thing.

120
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: So there's your recap. And of course, as we've been

121
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: alluding to so far, the big breaking news today, the

122
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: Texans have fired head coach Gary Kubiak following the loss

123
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars. Wade Phillips has been named interim head

124
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: coach for the new manager of the season. Houstons now

125
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: lost eleven straight games. The next matchup comes week fifteen

126
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: against Indianapolis. Who's gonna finish the season at quarterback? Texas

127
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: owner Bob mcnari said quarterback Case Keenum will remain the

128
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: starter as he's shown quote flashes of brilliance along with

129
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: his mistakes. So akbar knowing the Case keenom is going

130
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: to be the guy. Can you trust him at all?

131
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: Down the stretch? You know what, I'm gonna say no

132
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: for Case Keenum, you know, and I've endorsed Case Keeno

133
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: this entire time. And here's why I said no. What

134
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars and Gus Brownley did will was they

135
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: continue to apply pressure. And when you apply pressure to

136
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: a young quarterback like that. You saw kse Keenom pop

137
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: back a pimple. He was very uncomfortable, but it's a

138
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: great move for them to stay with him because he

139
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: has a lot more upside in his future. Right now?

140
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: Was it a bombonical pimple? Was a bic pimple? Thursday,

141
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: it's an a f C West showdown as Peyton in

142
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 1: the first place. Broncos take on Philip Rivers and the Chargers.

143
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Chargers Broncos our next game, there's a Night Football a

144
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: p m. Eastern Live on NFL Network. Now for more

145
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: of the latest news and notes, let's go to Adam

146
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: Right and Marcus Grant. Thank you, Jason. Adam Rank here

147
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: with the fantasy professor Marcus Grant, and we will stick

148
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: with that Thursday night game. Jaguars running back Maurice Jones

149
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: Drew underwent an m I I exam on Friday for

150
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury he suffered in the fourth quarter. Jones

151
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: Drew told Rich Eyes and the guys on the Total

152
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: Access post game show that he'd be fine. But what

153
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: player doesn't think that exactly? But if you own Morris

154
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: Jones Drew, you probably want to hand jumping with his

155
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: backup Jordan Todman, just to be safe heading in the

156
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,239
Speaker 1: next week. Moving on to Chicago, Bears, coach Mark Tressman

157
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: announced Thursday that quarterback j Cutler will not play in

158
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: the team's big Monday Night matchup against the Cowboys. Backup

159
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: quarterback Josh McCown will instead get the start. Now, Cutler's

160
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: fantasy value is next to nothing at this point, Marcus,

161
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: but you're in a tough situation. Do you play McCown

162
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: Monday Night versus out? Certainly played Josh McCown. He's been

163
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: fantastic in relief of Jake Cutler so far this year.

164
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: The Cowboys secondary has had its issues stopping people, especially

165
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. McCown's got plenty of targets.

166
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: I like him a lot going into Monday Night. Let's

167
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: stick in the NFC North for Aaron Rodgers. Owners who

168
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: got their hopes up for his return this week, well

169
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: prepare for a letdown. Coach Mike McCarthy ruled out Rogers

170
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: on Friday and Matt Flynn will start for Green Bay.

171
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: We'll play the waiting game again and we'll see if

172
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: Roger returns for Week fifteen. But what does this mean

173
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: for Jordy Nelson. I mean, Jordy Nelson's the guy that

174
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: you can play. I know he had a rough one

175
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving, but the Detroit Lions defense is a lot

176
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: tougher than the Falcons have been this year. I think

177
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: you give Nelson a shot, you plug him in your lineup.

178
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: I think the bigger question, though, is what happens with

179
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers going forward. If the Packers fall out of

180
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: the playoff race. There's a chance that Green Bay may

181
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: just shut him down for the rest of the year, certainly.

182
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: And I'll talk more about Jordy Nelson coming up in

183
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: like dislike. But let's move on to Cleveland, where Brown's

184
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: head coach Rob Chazinski named Jason Campbell the starting quarterback

185
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: for Sunday's tilt against the Patriots. Campbell has been medically

186
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: cleared from his concussion he suffered in Week twelve, and

187
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: Chudd says Campbell has had two good days of practice.

188
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: Good news, of course for Josh Gordon owners but what

189
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: about the tight end Jordan Cameron. Well, I think Jordan

190
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: Cameron is a little bit of a better play this

191
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: week because you know, Jason Campbell is going to be

192
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: in there. I don't love him against the Patriots. He struggled.

193
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: New England can be tough on tight ends. But if

194
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: you've got to play Jordan Cameron, you can feel better

195
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: because it's Jason Campbell is opposed to Caleb Haney or

196
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: Alex Tanner. Definitely. Let's take a look. Now. It's some

197
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: more names that made the Friday injury report. A number

198
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: of running backs to tell you about, Levy on Bell,

199
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: Frank Dore, Lamar Miller, No, Sean Moreno, John Stewart, Shane By.

200
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: All of them are probable. JT. Julius Thomas is probable

201
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. Carson Palmer, however, questionable with an

202
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: eight elbow injury. He is expected to be a game

203
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: time decision. Drew Stanton, Maybe somebody want to go pick

204
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: up if you have Carson Palmer and you're starting line up.

205
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: We will talk a little bit more about Reggie Bush

206
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: here in a second. But of course, some other questionables

207
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson, Tony Gonzalez, The Grock, Rob Gronkowski and of

208
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: course we told you Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers are out.

209
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden is also out, as is Percy Harvin now.

210
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: Min's running back Reggie Bush was held out of practice

211
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: on Wednesday and Thursday, but was a participant at Lyons

212
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: practice today. Bush most likely will be a go on

213
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: Sunday versus the Eagles. He's got to be a must start,

214
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: right absolutely, as they must start such such a dual

215
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: threat back as a rusher an receiver. You put him

216
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: in against the Eagles. Good news for Rashod Jenning owners

217
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: he boarded the team's flight to New York for this

218
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: weekend's game versus the Jets. The bad news he hasn't

219
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: passed all of the NFL mandated concussion tests yet. Raiders

220
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: head coach Dennis Allen told the NFL told the media Friday,

221
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: he's quote still not cleared yet. So we've really got

222
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: the rest of today and tomorrow and we'll see how

223
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: he's feeling tomorrow. End quote. Marcus certainly a situation to

224
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: keep a close eye him, right, It is definitely a

225
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: situation to keep an eye on. You don't like the matchup.

226
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: I know Marcel Reefs maybe out there. I don't know

227
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: that he's a good play just because the Jets are

228
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: so tough on running backs. Good news for Broncos fans

229
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: and Julius Thomas fantasy owners. The tight end was a

230
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: full participant at Broncos practice this week and is expected

231
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: to start against the Titans on Sunda. I like Julius

232
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: Thomas this week. The Titans can be tough against the

233
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: passing game, but he's such a big part of what

234
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: the Broncos do. He'll see plenty of targets. Another bit

235
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: of tight end news to pass along Redskins list, Jordan

236
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Reid is questionable for Week fourteen. JT is a guy

237
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: who's a must star. What about Jordan? Jordan Reid is

238
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: not a must start. The Chiefs defense has struggled recently,

239
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: but they've been really tough on tight ends, and having

240
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Reid been out for so long, I don't know

241
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: that he's a guy that I immediately throw on my

242
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: line up just because he's back for Washington. All right,

243
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: very good, Thank you very much. Marcus Still to come

244
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,160

Speaker 1: fantasy matchups you need to know. Plus I run through

247

Speaker 1: my weekly pikes and dislikes for Week four Team find

248
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: out who made my lineup and who's riding the pine?

249
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: Is the fantasy playoffs? Get underweight. NFL Fantasy Live is

Speaker 1: look at our early slate of games for week four teen.

252
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: Point that Raider's Jets game. Nick Folk could kick seven

253
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: field goals in that one. Bill's Buccaneers a game we're

254
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: gonna preview. Plenty of fantasy points available there. Take a

255
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: look at some of the late games now on Sunday,

256
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: Lions and Eagles Web more on that in a second.

257
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: The late game Panthers and the Saints, than Monday Night

258
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys against the Bears. Matt forteg will stop buying a

259

Speaker 1: few minutes to help preview that one for us now,

260

270
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: take a look at a few games with some potentially

271
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: interesting fantasy matchups. First one is the Lions in the

272
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: Eagles ock bar. Who wins and who you're looking at? Well,

273
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: I've got the Detroit Lions winning this one thirty eight

274
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: to thirty five. I really like this game. This is

275
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: going to be an NFC showdown. Of course, we know

276
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: that the Detroit Lions trying to keep that thing going

277
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: for that wild car hunt. But the guy that I'm

278
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: watching is joy Bill. Joy Bill. Right now, it's two

279
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: rush touchdown and through the last three games. When you

280
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: think about the way he's been able to produce with

281
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush in the game, it's phenomenal. In weeks eight

282
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: and thirteen, Bill had eleven and eighteen points. Meanwhile Bush

283
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: had sixteen and twenty two points during that game. Now

284
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, I'm watching Riley Cooper. Now,

285
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: I know he's kind of slipped a little bit, it's

286
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: kind of filled out, but you can't really expect a

287
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: guy like Riley Cooper to put up multiple touchdown games

288
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: every single week. Kevin Johnson doesn't even do that. So

289
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: when you look at Riley Cooper, I think that he's

290
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: gonna be able to expose the matchup against the Detroit secondary.

291
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: I like him in this matchup. What about zach Ertz, Yeah,

292
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: zach Ertz, you know he got hot. I don't know

293
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: that I can depend on him as a tie it in.

294
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: I mean he got hot, Yeah he did. I guess

295
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: the team that gives up the most fantasy points the

296
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: tight end of the league. All right, let's move on

297
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: to Cleveland and New England. We know Jason Campbell going

298
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: to start for the Cleveland Browns and this one. But Adam, like,

299
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna focus on the running backs? What do you

300
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: like in this one? Yes, it does not change my

301
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: prediction at all. I still think the New England Patriots

302
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: will come out and win this one pretty handedly. And

303
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: a guy that I'm keeping my eye on is Shane Vereen,

304
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: somebody that we're looking at the beginning of the season

305
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: to come and kind of break out from that running

306
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: back position. And the only thing that hastened that was

307
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: that he got injured and he wasn't out, He wasn't

308
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: in the game for a couple of weeks until he

309
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: came back, and of course once he's returned, he's been

310
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: pretty good. Riley or excuse me, Riley Cooper, I'm looking

311
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: right at you and I'm saying you got me all

312
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: Stephen Ridley is not get back into the game. But

313
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: you know what, it goes back to Shane Vereen because

314
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: he's been so effective, He's going to continue to be

315
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: a fantasy stud. But if you're looking for a sleeper,

316
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: somebody who would sneak in and do pretty well for

317
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: you this week, well, let's he's a guy I'm to

318
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: keep my eye on. And this is just based on

319
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: the match of the New England Patriots. Give up a

320
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy points to running backs, and I know

321
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: if you look at what No Shop did a couple

322
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. I'm not saying that that's what's gonna

323
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: happen here, but that's pretty good option. I like him

324
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: better than guys like Frank Or who's got a tough

325
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: matchup Willis Mcgahey's somebody keep a eye on all right.

326
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: Final score rank again thirty three fifteen In that one,

327
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm going with a very similar final score. I'm picking

328
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Buccaneers. I'm taking Tampa Bay over

329
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo thirt thirteen. I have made my decision. I am

330
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: going to sit c J. Spiller this week. Adam Rank's

331
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: gonna have much more on t J. Spiller coming up. However,

332
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't like Fred Jackson either. Look, this is a

333
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: very bad match for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They're very

334
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: good against the run, and Fred Jackson hasn't been good

335
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. He's had just fewer than ten

336
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: fantasy points and three of his last four games twelve

337
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: rushing attempts or less in three straight. C J. Spiller's

338
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: role in the offense is getting better. So number one,

339
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't like Fred Jackson, But number two, I don't

340
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: see any success on the ground for the Bills in

341
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: this one. A guy do like in A guy I'm

342
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: putting in my flex is Bobby Rainey. Look at the Bills.

343
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: They've allowed over twenty four Fantasy points per game to

344
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: running backs in the last four weeks. That's the fifth

345
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: most in the NFL. Rainy is averaging over five and

346
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: a half yards per carry his last two home games.

347
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: This is time to get Bobby Rainier lineup. I know

348
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: you wanted to put him in after that big week

349
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: and then he disappointed you. But he had bad matchups.

350
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: He's got a good one this week, Marcus, I like

351
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: Bobby Raining. Yeah, you know another option I like from

352
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: that game if you have the defense with a tough matchup,

353
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: maybe a Buccaneers defense over somebody, especially like the Kansas

354
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: City Chiefs who've been struggling. Yeah, Bucks played very well

355
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: at home, all right, so what's your game. I'm going

356
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs Washington Redskins. I think Kansas City gets

357
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: back on the good foot this week. A guy I'm

358
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: really keeping an eye on is Jamal Charles. Not because

359
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: you have questions about playing Jamal Charles. In fact, we

360
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: probably don't talk about this guy enough. He has been

361
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: the most consistent fantasy running back in the National Football

362
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: League this year, but he's going up against a terrible

363
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: Washington defense. I think Jamal Charles has a legitimate chance

364
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: to be the top score of the week, and we

365
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: could be talking about a thirty point plus day for

366
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles this week. If you are going against him,

367
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: say your prayers. It might be ugly on the other side.

368
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: R G three. You know, say what you want about

369
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: him on the field or what he's done in terms

370
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: of real football. In fact, you know what, every time

371
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: somebody says something negative about him, he goes, it's a

372
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: pretty good fantasy day. So Robert, you shouldn't be playing.

373
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: It's not we're gonna have for you don't look healthy.

374
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. Just just be

375
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: very very cautious. But I like him against the Chiefs

376
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: defense that's really struggling, good looking out Thanks where to

377
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 1: do that for the fantasy for and you tell them

378
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: things that no one sold him before. I enjoyed. I

379
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: try to be original like that, you know. I let's

380
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: take a look at our our recap pick them board.

381
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: Here's what everybody likes. Detroit Philadelphia bar the lone Wolf

382
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: take in the Detroit lines. It's a clean sweep for

383
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, the tam Bay Buccaneers, and the

384
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: only one who thinks the Reds consume in this game.

385
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: I see a high scoring one, but there's a lot

386
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: of fantasy points out here. Adam Rank has another big

387
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: spot start from this game coming up later on in

388

Speaker 1: the show. Now we're not done yet, We've got more.

Speaker 1: Bears running back Matt for j Jason Smith with you

401
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: here on NFL Fantasy Live. Match seven rushing touchdowns on

402
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: the season. That's the most few in the single year

403
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: since you're rookie year in two thousand eight when you

404
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: finished with eight. What' from the difference for you? I

405
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: think more carries down the red zone. Um, you know

406
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: this year, Coach Tressman, we run when we get down

407
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: close in the red zone, and when you get in

408
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: a tighter red zone ten five yard line, we continue

409
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: to run our same offense instead of you know, packing

410
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: everybody in there and doing goal line. So, um, you know,

411
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: getting more carries that way has has helped. And also

412
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, great blocking by offensive line. And I've also

413
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: had some some longer touchdowns as well, which um is

414
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: attributed to our receivers Brandon and al Sean, those guys

415
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: blocking down field as well. Now you mentioned Alshan. We

416
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: know Brandon Marshall as good as he's been the last

417
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: few years, but Alsha Jeffrey has really come on this season.

418
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: And can he continue to improve? Yeah he can. I mean,

419
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: Alshan is young and he's been his his improvements from

420
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: last year is even you know, it's just ridiculous. So

421
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: I think just the next years to come, he can

422
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: get even better, uh, in these next coming years and

423
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: continue to fine tune his game as a receiver. And um,

424
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, he works on everything. He works on running routes,

425
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: catching the ball in every situation, and also blocking in

426
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: the run game. So you don't see that a lot

427
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: a lot of receivers. They mostly just want to deal

428
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: with the passing game, but he uh actually blocks a

429
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: lot downfield and in the box for the run game.

430
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: Josh McCown's come in and run this offense incredibly efficiently

431
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: in absence of j Cutler. Does the offense run better

432
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: with McCown right now? I'm not sure if he runs

433
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: better or worse or anything, but I mean it has

434
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: been working. I think, uh, you know, pretty efficiently with

435
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: both quarterbacks we've had in there, you know, with Jay

436
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: and Josh so um. You know, it's a tribute to Josh.

437
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: When he came in, there wasn't really a big fall

438
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: off of production in the offense where we can continue

439
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: to run the ball pretty well and then he can

440
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: make the throws down field with these big receivers that

441
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: we have a right. Every defense in the NFL presents

442
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: a challenge, but you look at the numbers. This week,

443
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: you're playing the Dallas Cowboys. You've seen them, sure, you've

444
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: seen on film how much they struggle. What goes through

445
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: your mind when you see such a favorable matchup you

446
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: have against this defense. It's the same as when we're

447
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: playing the number one defense in the league. I mean,

448
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: this is the NFL. A lot of people always, you know,

449
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: try to speculate, you know, oh, you're gonna have a

450
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: big week because this defense isn't playing that well or whatever,

451
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: but it is. It's still the NFL defenses are good

452
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: and they have game lands as well, So you have

453
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: to uh prepare every each week like you're playing the

454
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: number one dfense in the league. And you're doing this

455
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 1: series a fun series of the folks Lenovo called Tough Season.

456
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: This series, it's an in debt expose of of you

457
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: being fantasy players on a team owned by Brad and

458
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 1: Brad Blevins is the guy's name, and he interacts with

Speaker 1: just give up. What's the point running back Matt Forte.

463
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: It's just fantasy football, Just fantasy football. Just fantasy football, coach,

464
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: this is what we live for. We still got games left.

465
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: Are we just gonna roll over and quit. We can

466
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: still band together and be the team to fights to

467
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: the end. We can do the small things that are

468
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: ruined the league for all the other owners. You can

469
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: bench us all and lose our purpose to mess with

470
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: the rankings. Yeah, trade on your best players whoever you

471
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: want to stack the teams. Throw a big tantrum contest

472
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: all the trades. Yeah, that was pretty passionate speech you

473
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: gave there. Man, you just made friends of every fantasy

474
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: owner of the world. Yeah, you know, fantasy football is big,

475
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: it's and it's continued to grow. So, I mean that's

476
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: probably ninety percent of the tweets I get every day

477
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: is hey, please score a couple of touchdowns from my

478
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: fantasy team, and this and that. So that's that's all

479
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: everybody talks about. What's it been like playing on Brad's

480
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: awesome team sponsored by Lenovo? It's been pretty awesome. Brad

481
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: has a great coach, you know, even though even though

482
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't really know what he's doing and he loses

483
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: to like a little kid, a little ten year old

484
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: kid every year, he's a great coach. And uh, you know,

485
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: I love playing fantasy football being on his team. I'm

486
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: glad he drafted me. Now we see him go through

487
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: the roller coaster of emotions that fantasy owners are from. Billy,

488
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: We can you relate to all that as a player

489
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: going through the ups and downs of the season. Yeah,

490
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: of course, you know, every season has ups and downs,

491
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, the thing is to you know,

492
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: as an athlete. You gotta deal with adversity, and I've

493
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: been doing it since young. The difference is with with Brad.

494
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: You know he's a fantasy owner. He's pretty new to

495
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: it and his ups and downs. He he kind of

496
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: overreacts a little bit, so you know he has he

497
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 1: has the calm down a little bit. You realize now

498
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: that the success is this thing from Lenovo. We're gonna

499
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: try to do that here at NFL Network at all

500
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: you guys that come on so we can talk to

501
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: you about fantasy. Yeah, I'll be the first one there.

502
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, thanks a bunch of best of luck

503
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: Monday night against the Cowboys. Look forward to talking to

504
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: you soon. All right, thank you, all right, Thanks Matt Forte.

505
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: Make sure tune into Lenovo dot com slash Tough Season

506
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: to watch Matt continue his fantasy here on Brad's awesome

507
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: team and catch the conclusion to the Tough Season series.

508
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: Nowll and send it over to Adam ranking the guys

509
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: for more on this big Monday night matchup. Thank you,

510
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Jason. Now, if you talk about

511
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: this game, Matt Forte has me fired up because I

512
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: got him on a couple of teams also fired up

513
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: for this Monday night game. Now, Brandon Marshall came out

514
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: this week and he said, you know what, I'm having

515
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: a tough time going up against Brandon car But is

516
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: this a situation where you would never bench Brandon Marshall. No,

517
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be. I mean just because he says

518
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: that he's recognizing the type of talent he is as

519
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: far as a defensive back, and you see players do

520
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: that all the time. But that doesn't mean that he's

521
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: giving up or you should sit Brandon Marshall. You still

522
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: because he's a monocle player, you still want to stick

523
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: with him. Well, one guy that he was talking about,

524
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: Matt Fortem speaking of, he was talking about Alshon Jeffrey

525
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: getting even better his He now moved into that class

526
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: markets where he's a must start each and every week.

527
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: I think he has been the way the Bears offense

528
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: has been working here. Alshan Jeffrey has been such a

529
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: big part of that. And we've seen him make obviously

530
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: the routine catches and make a lot of catch if

531
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: you've seen him make some really spectacular tough catches in

532
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: the end zone as well. And you heard Matt Forte

533
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: talk about his his growth and his improvement over the

534
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: last year or two, and I just think he's a

535
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: guy who've really made a name for himself as a

536
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: top Fantasy wide when I'll tell you the other big

537
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: thing that he talked about is what he does when

538
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the ball, and that's how you developed

539
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: trust with your quarterback. He's blocking when he's not being

540
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: thrown the ball. He's setting things up so he can't

541
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: take it in. This is a great matchup for Alshon

542
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: Jeffrey too, when you think about it, going up against

543
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: a team that's gonna be in cover two. He's gonna

544
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: exploit the middle of the field while they're trying to

545
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: brack it over towards Brandon Marshall. This is a good

546
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: game for him when when the receiver does block down

547
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: the field, as Matt was talking about, does that make

548
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: him popular in the locker room with the coaches and everything. Oh,

549
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: he sure does with the coaches, because with the coaches

550
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: pop on the film they see that he look, this

551
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 1: guy is not just sitting there, because what ends up

552
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: happening If they know that you're not blocking, you're not

553
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: a part of the play. They already know how to

554
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: already scout this offense, so Alshon Jeffery is doing his job. Okay,

555
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: let's go to the other side of the football. DeMarco

556
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: Murray is having a nice couple of weeks. Marcus, what

557
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: do you see from on Monday Night? I think he

558
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: has a big day on Monday Night for the Dallas

559
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: Cowboy and for fantasy owners as well. Murray has gotten

560
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: really hot over the last month or so, four touchdowns

561
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: in his last four games, and with Lance Dunbar no

562
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: longer a part of the offense for the Cowboys, that

563
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: means more opportunities for de Marco Murray. I know at

564
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: times Dallas seems to go away from him, but he

565
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: does so many things and he's doing them really well

566
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: right now, especially against a Bears defense that hasn't played

567
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: too particularly well against the run game. Yeah, because everybody,

568
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: it seems, is banged up on that Bears defense that

569
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: teams are just running on them at great link but

570
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: is great as DeMarco Murray has played, it's actually had

571
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: the adverse effect. I'm Tony Romos, what can we expect

572
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: from MoMA Monday Night? Well, you know, I think if

573
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: any if this is gonna be a game that Tony

574
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: Romo bounces back. This is gonna be the game when

575
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 1: you look at his last three games against the Saints,

576
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: the Giants, and the Raiders. I mean, he really has

577
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: kind of taken in one of that down downward spiral.

578
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: But I think Tony Romo could bounce back. We've talked

579
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: about kind of where this defense. This is not the

580
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: the old school Chicago Bears defense. Sometimes you gotta get

581
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: that name brand mentality out of your mind. So this

582
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: is a perfect opportunity for him to get the run

583
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: game going, get the vertical attack that he needs with

584
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant. I think this is a great bounce back

585
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: game for Tony Romo. Would you agree markets starter sit

586
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: Tony Romo. I think you start Tony Romo, And I

587
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: think a lot of it is going to be mental

588
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: for Romo and the Cowboys. We've made so much and

589
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: we've heard so much about how the Cowboys struggle in

590
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: the month of December. Even Jerry Jones is getting on board,

591
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: saying the team's got to be better in December. Here's

592
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: the opportunity to go in, lock up a playoff spots,

593
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: and go in and win the division. I think it

594
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: starts this week. It starts on Monday Night against the Bears,

595
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: and I think Tony Romo is the leader of that.

596
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, Monday Night's typically very big for

597
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: players in the locker room. They get up to play

598
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: for that game. If Tony Romo has a monumental meltdown

599
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: in this game, you don't you don't trust him the

600
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: entire playoff season in fantasy. All right, very good, Thank

601
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: you very much, gentlemen. Now, when NFL Fantasy Live returns, Rams, Birds, Seahawks, Niners, Panthers, Saints.

607
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: This would wind up being the Texas eleven straight defeat,

608
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars looking to stay red hot, trying to win four

609
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: or five. Second quarter Chad Henty looking for cecil shorts

610
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: making akbar bos bien mila fraud fourteen up and Jags.

611

Speaker 1: Then third quarter Jaguars threatening again. You tell them Cecil

612
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: it's Chad Hetty to A Sanders and they saying there's

613
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: starts at Jordan Todman had it right from off camera.

614
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: That helps no one. Jack Parts winned by the final

615
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: of seven to twenty. Both A Sanders and Jordan Todman

616
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: on that one. Of course, Chad Henny fifteen fantasy points

617
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: the most fantasy points of anyone on the Jaguars. M

618
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: J D had a nice night for you with twelve.

619
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson came through. We told you to start him

620
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: yesterday over fifteen fantasy points. Garn Graham was a great

621
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: spot start. You have questions at running back, and of

622
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: course Michael Fabiano not very happy with the lack of

623
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: production from Ben Tate. Fabsy, are you over that yet? No? Well, Texas,

624
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: the Texans had what pass plays in a row? I

625
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: knew I was dead when they started lining up four

626
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: wide and an empty backfield. What can you do? Right?

627
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: Of course, the big news of the day the Houston

628
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: Texas have fired head coach Gary Kubiak. We talked about

629
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: this earlier in the show. Wade Phillips will take over

630
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: more on this story as it develops, but right now,

631
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 1: for Fantasy. We're gonna have some more game previews here.

632
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: Let's head to the Rams and the Cardinals. Very intriguing

633
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: matchup this Sunday. And Zach Stacy is someone FABS who

634
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: he's been great, then he got hurt, and now he's

635
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: got a bad matchup. What do you do this week?

636
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: This is a very tough matchup for Zack Stacey. Mean,

637
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have been nasty, you know how nasty. No

638
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: team has allowed fewer Fantasy points to running backs on

639
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: their home field than Arizona. Now, with that being said,

640
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: I still see Stacy as a flex starter, even at

641
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: low end r V two. He's been that good this season.

642
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: But you're gonna have to temporary expectations because that Cardinals

643
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: run defense is very, very good. So Zach Stacy's mom

644
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: won't have it going. Didn't exact stay where you didn't

645
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: sing that song? All right, Marcus? How about Michael Floyd.

646
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: He's proven to be a top target there in Arizona

647
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: right now, He absolutely has, and I think that's a

648
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: reason you give him a chance. The Rams secondary can

649
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: be tough on wide receivers and times, but I think

650
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: what he has done over the last three or four games.

651
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: You see a team catches in the last three games

652
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: that is best on that Cardinals team. And Carson Palmer

653
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: is getting hot. He's spreading the ball around to Larry

654
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald has seen a bounce back in recent weeks. Michael

655
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: Floyd's a guy who because of his production recently, I

656
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: think even against the matchup, you like him as a

657
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver too this week as high as it too

658
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: so a flex and possibly is a too. Absolutely all right,

659
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: honors and the Seahawks are gonna get to now, and

660
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: oh boy, tough to like anybody on the Nighters against

661
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: the Seahawks the last few years they've done nothing. But

662
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree is someone that people have a lot of

663
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: questions about FABS and Crabtree didn't look great last week.

664
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: So what do you do this week? Marcus? I think

665
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: you sent Michael Crabtree. Wouldn't you agree? I think you

666
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: do sent Michael Crabtree this week. He struggled and last

667
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: week he had sixty eight yards. Sixty of them came

668
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: on one play that was really more of a busted

669
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: coverage than anything. And watching him play, his speed isn't back.

670
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: He's still rehabbing from that Achilles injury. He's not the

671
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: same guy that we saw last season, and I think

672
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a really tough time getting opened against

673
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: the Legion of Boom. We were so worried about suspensions

674
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: and what happened in that that Seahawks secondary, but they

675
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: still look really good against New Orleans last week, and

676
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: I think Michael Crabtree's really gonna have a tough time

677
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: finding room against Richard Sherman and those guys. How much

678
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: we worried about Russell Wilson this week, there's some concern.

679
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: There's certainly could this is a very very good San

680
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: Francisco for you and Niners team, especially on their home field.

681
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: I see him as a low end QB one, not

682
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: a guy that is going to put up gigantic numbers

683
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: like he did last week against New Orleans. In fact,

684
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: i'd started Josh McCown, Oh, this guy, Russell Wilson. Luckily

685
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: I have Russell Wilson a few leaks, but I'm gonna

686
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: buy I don't have to worry about the Standwarchs good defense.

687
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: But for those who do temper expectations, all right, there

688
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: you go. There's a couple of previews right there now

689
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: for our Fantasy Match of the Week. Kenny step the

690
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: fetch that brows are pass end zone right side, Greg

691
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: Olson touchdown, and he's got so many questions in this

692
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: game Carolina and New Orleans. It is the night game

693
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night, and let's kick things off with New

694
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: Orleans and Drew Brees because for the last few years

695
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: it's always been a load up all your Saints. Now

696
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: it's there's not a lot of Saints you can trust

697
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: outside of Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham. Yeah, that's absolutely right,

698
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: especially with a tough match up against the Carolina Panthers

699
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: on tap and a lot of fantasy owners are feeling

700
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: the sting after Drew Brees gave him a very bad

701
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: stat last week in Seattle. Now he's home. I like

702
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: him as a top ten quarterback. There's not a lot

703
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: of players out there that people have with Drew Brees

704
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: that you can start ahead of him. Would you start

705
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: Nick Foles? Nick Foles, I would start, But really, if

706
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about legitimate situations, what kind of quarterbacks do

707
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: you have on your roster outside of maybe Nick Foles

708
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: that you could play over Drew Brees. There's not many

709
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: Geno Smith. Let's move on here, alright, Marcus, you have

710
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: you have the tough one here? Which Saints can you

711
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: start against the Panthers? Darren Sprowles, Pieric Thomas, Marcus Colston,

712
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills. They all come with question marks. I'm going

713
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: with e none of the book, all right. If you

714
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: had to, if I said you got to start one

715
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: of these guys, if I had to pick one, it's

716
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: Pierre Thomas. He's the guy who was getting the folk

717
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: of the carries behind center or behind the quarterback spot.

718
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: He's running the football and he's the guy who catches

719
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: the ball out of the backfield. That's certainly helps. Don't

720
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: expect big numbers either rushing or receiving, but together he

721
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,239
Speaker 1: might give you a decent stat line. I think if

722
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: you get double digits out of Pyo Thomas, you're doing backflips.

723
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: I think you can expect more around these seven to

724
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: nine point ranch for the guy this. If you're in

725
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: the PPR league, you can start Darren Sprowls standard Maybe not.

726
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: How about Cam Newton. He's been terrific so far the

727
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: last few weeks. But this Saints defense FABS is tougher

728
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: than people think it is same situation as with Drew Brees.

729
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: Is the same situation you have with Cam Newton. There

730
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: are not a lot of quarterbacks out there that most

731
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: people have legitimately on their roster to play ahead of him.

732
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: Maybe Nick Foles. Certainly, Nick Foles is a guy who

733
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: I have in my top three this week. But overall,

734
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: Cam Newton has been very, very productive in recent weeks.

735
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: He's doing it again, second half surge for Cam, and

736
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: I'd hate to be the guy who benched Cam Newton

737
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: for someone else. And Cam goes off and I'm thinking

738
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: I just lost because I benched Am Newton. Cam Newton,

739
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: you start, It's tough to start any other Panthers. But

740
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: let's do the same thing we did a couple of

741
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: seconds ago. Here's the gods that you can play. Which

742
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: Panthers do you start if you have to start any

743
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: of them? Steve Smith's, Brandon Lafel, the Angela Williams, Mike Tolbert,

744
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 1: maybe de'angelo Williams. Jonathan Stewart's a little bit banged up

745
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: in the Saints. They're a bit inconsistent against the run

746
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: this season. But overall, Marcus, there's not a lot to

747
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: like greg Olson is probably the one guy. Yeah, I

748
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: do like Greg Olson. He's the guy who, especially recently,

749
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: has started to see a lot more targets. But you

750
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: look at that running back situation, D'Angelo Williams has been

751
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: the guy to carry the biggest part of the workload.

752
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: But always look at Mike Tilbert just because around the

753
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: goal line, he's the guy who seems to be in there.

754
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: He seems to be the guy who's getting cherries. But

755
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: even when you start to rely on him, you see

756
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and his big frame lean out over the

757
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: goal line and take some of those rushing scores. And

758
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: not many guys have bigger frames than Mike Tilbert, but

759
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, he's not. Tilbert's got a bigger frame. That's

760
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: a big boy right there. It's like a bowling ball

761
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: he is. But it's funny because we watched the games

762
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday in the news room. We watch and we

763
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: see 'angel Williams and and then suddenly you look up

764
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: and it's, oh, it's Mike Tilbert's in the game. Whether

765
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: never mistake D'Angelo. Alright, coming up, what Andrew Luck, Nick

766
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: Foles and c James Spiller have in common they're all

767
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: on Adam Renk's list, doubt if their likes or dislikes

768
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: for Week fourteen, when NFL Fantasy Live returns. Hey, everybody,

769
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: Adam rank here. Every week I published my likes and

770
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: dislikes in the world of fantasy football, wrestling, sons of Anarchy,

771
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: and so much more. And this week, well, as you

772
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: can see, there's a new wonder woman. You can get

773
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: my thoughts on that at NFL dot com slash like dislike.

774
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: But right now, let's go to another like Nick Foles,

775
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: the the Eagles quarterback has become the NFL version of

776
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: Kurt Henning because he's Mr Perfect. He's thrown nineteen touchdown

777
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: passes without an interception this season. He's like the bizarro

778
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: Eli Manning Bowls has also scored twenty two fantasy points

779
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: in four consecutive games, and if you look over the

780
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: past five weeks, his thirteen touchdown passes are tied for

781
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: the most in the league over that stretch. There are

782
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,959
Speaker 1: a few quarterbacks I would actually start over fold now

783
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: the bad news. Let's go to Andy Luck and take

784
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: a look at the numbers since Reggie Wayne has gone down.

785
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: Drink it in because it's not good Luck has thrown

786
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: two touchdown passes and five interceptions in his last four games,

787
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: and the matchup isn't much easier this week. The Bengals

788
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: are allowed the second fewest fantasy points at home to

789
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks this season, So leave him on the bench. Let's

790
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: move on to a receiver I like this week. Jordy Nelson.

791
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: That's right, I said that I like him. Let's have

792
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: some real talk here, Matt Flynn. He's not good when

793
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: you compare him to other NFL quarterbacks, but I'm gonna

794
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: dismiss last week as a bad match up. The Falcons

795
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: allow a ton of fantasy points, so I look for

796
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: Nelson to cash in as he's being targeted more than

797
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 1: seven times in each home game this season. How about

798
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: some more real talk. We'll talk c J. Spiller. Hey, look,

799
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: he was really good last week, and that's what he does.

800
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: He suckers you into believing he's gonna be great and

801
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: then boom, he ruins your fantasy playoffs. Don't buy into it.

802
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: Spiller has scored fewer than four fantasy points six times

803
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: this season. The Bucks have allowed just two rushing touchdowns

804
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: this year. As Kosik says, do the math Mon Freres.

805
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: And finally, I like Mike Wallace this week. Hey, look,

806
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: he scored more than fourteen Fantasy points him back to

807
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: back weeks. He's up against the Steelers, who have allowed

808
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: the fifth most yards per game to receivers this year.

809
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he used to play for the Steelers. Guys

810
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: and contract years and going against their former teams or

811
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: two must start criterias for me. Now, let's taken look

812
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: at some more guys that I like and dislike for

813
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: the week. And of course, if I like Jordy Nelson,

814
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: it stands the reason I would like Eddie Lacy. Jared

815
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: Cook has burned me repeatedly over the past. I'm gonna

816
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: let him play this week against the Arizona Cardinals, who

817
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: give up a ton of points. The fantasy tight ends

818
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: and some guys I don't like, Colin kaepern Nick Rochard,

819
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: Mentenhall and Kuan Bold and Tony Gonzalez. That's right, But

820
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: time now to send it over to Jason Smith and

821
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: the fellas for some more names we like the week fourteen.

822
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Mr. Right now, the guys have

823
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: our hotels dot Com Fantasy Spotlight spots starts of the week.

824
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 1: These may be people, you're never playing again. But it's

825
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs you have to win. You need a spot,

826
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: start a bar, Mr Holmes, I presume for you, Yes,

827
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,760
Speaker 1: Andre Homes for the Oakland Raiders. Look, if you own

828
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: Denarius more chances are you're you know, he's lost it.

829
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: And those targets have now gone towards Andre Homes. If

830
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: you look at last week against the Dallas Cowboys, he

831
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: had eleven targets. That's not by accidents. And then when

832
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: you look at the kind of production he got from

833
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: that eleven targets, a hundred and thirty six receiving yards,

834
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: he gave you a nice fantasy point. I think that

835
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: mcgloyd and Homes because of the kind of chemistry that

836
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: they developed being on the on the service team for

837
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders. We've seen this happen Riley Cooper, Nick Falls,

838
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: I think is happening again with Andre Holmes. All Right,

839
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 1: Andre Holmes, Rod Street of that Jets defense really brutal

840
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: against the past. Let's say a lout to Mr Rank again,

841
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: and we now have Michael Fabiano tied up, so we

842
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: can't get in on this, right Because I know a

843
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: guy you like, he's a guy he can't stand. That's

844
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: absolutely true. And Alex Smith is a quarterback that you

845
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: can go out and pick up right now and play

846
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: in your fantasy leagues. And if you look at what

847
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: he's done over the past couple of weeks, it's been

848
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: pretty good. He's had at least twenty one fantasy points

849
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: and four of his last five games, he's had seven

850
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: touchdown passes and just two interceptions in his last three

851
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: And the Redskins allow a lot of fantasy points to

852
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: opposing quarterback. Show you might not like Alex Smith. I

853
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: know he's burned us at times in the past, but

854
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,919
Speaker 1: you know what, he's a pretty good start this week.

855
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: I say your spot start hims are, Jason, do you

856
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: have a Mr Wright for us? I do, I hopefully

857
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: Mr Right, just like Alex Smith, who is a phenomenal

858
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: spots start this week, I'm gonna go with kendall Right.

859
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: You know what, Look, here's the thing. The guy has

860
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: been a PPR machine over the course of the season,

861
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: but now slowly he's starting to get more attention. He

862
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: had a touchdown two weeks ago, getting those red zone

863
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: approaches now, So here's the thing. When you play kendall Right,

864
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 1: Can you expect him to have like a fifteen twenty

865
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: point game all the time. No, But can you expect

866
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: him you have close to ten fantasy points and maybe

867
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown? Yes. Throwing the fact that this week he's

868
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: playing against Denver, who has been absolutely brutal against the

869
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: past the last few weeks, and you have the makings.

870
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: I'm a really good spot starting your flex I like

871
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: kendall Right this week thirty nine targets his last four games.

872
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: Kendall Right and get him in your lineup. Marcus, I

873
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: have a sneaking suspicion you are going with all the

874
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: Jets offensive players, but you're thinking all right, way though,

875
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: I'm going against all the Jets offensive players. So I'm

876
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: taking the Oakland Raiders defense and this one. I know

877
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago picked the Raiders defense. The Folds might have

878
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 1: thrown seven touchdowns that week, but we're not talking about that.

879
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: The Jets have been awful on offense this year, and

880
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: the last month they've given up over seventeen fantasy points

881
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: per game to defense. Is that you can't expect that

882
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: much out of the Raiders. But Gino Smith has been

883
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: struggling the Jets to turn the football over. I like

884
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders to go in there to play well against

885
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: that Jets offense this week, and I think you could

886
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: expect double digits from them. Again, you're not looking at

887
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen points, but if you get to go eleven,

888
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: I think you're happiness. I see Marcus Gold with the

889
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: Raiders Smith seven touchdowns. I'll buy you lunch for a week.

890
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: How does that say? I like that Gen Smith throws

891
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: one touchdown. That's a good Constellation prize. Those are Hotels

892
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: dot Com Fantasy Spotlight Spotstalks the week. There you go.

893
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: Some big points could be out there for you this week. Now,

894
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: we're not done previewing this weekend's games. We'll tell you

895
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,240
Speaker 1: how the weather may impact the Colts and Bengals matchup,

896
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: and since then we're answering some of you are pressing

897
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: start sid questions for Week four teen. NFL Fantasy Live

898
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: rolls on. Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. Yeah, it's

899
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: all about the weather. Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers snow, Kansas

900
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: City and the Redskins snow mixing with sleet and rain,

901
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: Vikings and the raven snow, sleet, rain, It's everywhere this

902
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 1: weekend Falcons and the Green Bay Packers. Periods of snow Lions, Eagles, snow,

903
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: Colts Bengals, snow with sleet late Yes, winter is here.

904
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: That's that last game we're gonna focus on here for

905
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: a couple of seconds of the Colts and the Bengals.

906
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Barbo Biamila, Adam Right, and Marcus Grant Bengals

907
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: Colts Sunday. Donald Brown is a guy that a lot

908
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: of people are focusing on to trust. Is their flex,

909
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: maybe even as the number two? Can you trust him, Sunday?

910
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: I don't trust him as anything more than a flex.

911
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: He's the back of choice for the Indianapolis Colts. Trent

912
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: Richardson is old news at this point, but the matchup

913
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: is not good. Donald Brown will certainly see lots of opportunity.

914
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: They like to dump into him out of the bank building.

915
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: Just see. He's been much better at hitting the hole

916
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 1: than Trim Richardson has been. But the Bengals have been tough.

917
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: I know they've been banged up on defense, but I

918
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: think they're still good enough to slow down Donald Brown

919
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: this week. Bar Giovanni Bernard has really been all or

920
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: nothing in all his games this year. Will he be

921
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: all or nothing this week? Well, you know what I say,

922
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: He's going to be all against the Indianapolis Colts and

923
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: like this. You know, yeah, they'll have a little bit

924
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: of win here. But I think you can trust him

925
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: because of his versatility. I think when it comes to

926
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard, when he hits, he does hit big. And

927
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: this is his game. That's it for us as far

928
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: as Week fourteen previews go. Now, we're gonna go rapid

929
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: fire and answer some of your most pressing questions, and

930
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 1: we'll start with your better Week fourteen running back. He's

931
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: all from Fantasy Genius and NFL dot Com. Where Sean

932
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: Jennings or Levian Bell? Who is the better call here?

933
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: Levian Bell is the call for this one. He's got

934
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: a fantastic match up against the Miami Dolphins, were shot.

935
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: Jenning's on the other hand, caught him against the Jets,

936
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: who been very tough on running backs. Bell is your

937
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: guying was a wide receiver, you'd like him, But t

938
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: Y Hilton or Rod Streeter? Who's the better matchup? I'm

939
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 1: gonna go with Rod Streeter. He's had at least eleven

940
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: targets in his last three games and He's had at

941
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: least eighty receiving yards in two of his last three games,

942
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: so he looks like the better option there. You just

943
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: saw the weather what it's gonna be like for the

944
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: Colts and Bengals. I stick with Street, all right, tight

945
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: end WALLI Scott Chandler or Brandon Meyer's you know, I'm

946
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: gonna have to go with Myers in this situation going

947
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,879
Speaker 1: up against the San Diego Chargers. I think that there's

948
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: just the better, you know, look for him and Chandler.

949
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: Oh mind has been the last couple of weeks he has.

950
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: He's falling down short of the gold line and rolling

951
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: into the episode all on his own. It's very good.

952
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: Roddy White or Dwyne Bow Dwayne Bow believe it or not,

953
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: I know Roddy White has bounced back recently, but I

954
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: like the matchup for Dwayne Bow against Washington. He started

955
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: to see more target. I give him a shot this week.

956
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco or Ben Roethlisberger. Rank Joe Flacco. I've been

957
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: moving him up my rankings this week because the matchup

958
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: is just too good. I understand he's not the most

959
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: consistent Fantasy player out there, but I think Joe Flacco

960
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: is a pretty good start people this week. All right,

961
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: starter said gonna go real rapid fire right now. Keenan

962
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: Allen at the Giants, what do you do. I'm gonna

963
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: start him. I'm gonna sit him. I'm gonna start him.

964
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: Jordan Cameron at the Patriots, I'm going to sit him.

965
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit him. I'm sitting well, a full sit

966
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: for Jordan Cameron. Greg Jennings at the Ravens, sit, sit, start,

967
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: start is a shot against the Ravens. Yeah, Lamar Miller

968
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, start, Yeah, flex him. Yeah, I'm right

971
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: yeah in December. Yeah, exactly. Greg Jennings, you know that's

972
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: that's as at times, and I think he won't be huge.

973
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: He's a flexop. Yeah. That's gonna be a thriller in

974

Speaker 1: the Chilla. Yeah. But the weather the way it is,

975
