00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: Good morning, fantasy coaches, and welcome to the Fantasy Pros

2
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: Football Podcast. I'm your host, Bobby Sylvester. We're through week

3
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: one and it was a blast. There were plenty of

4
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: breakout performances and a few real disappointments, and as usual,

5
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: we had some serious fantasy related injuries. So we'll be

6
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: chatting about all this in more, including your best waiver

7
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: wire options this week, with Nick Radakanu of Project Roader

8
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: dot com. As always, I've got producer JP Gail by

9
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: my side, and I've had a number of people ask

10
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: me about the bumper music. The song is called Dissolved

11
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: by a band named Abso Facto. If you get a chance,

12
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: take a look at the rest of their stuff. They

13
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: have a really cool sound. I liked them a lot, obviously,

14
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: that's why we have them on the podcast. All right,

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: let's chat about some fantasy football now. Good morning, Nick,

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. Yeah, of course, my pleasure. How

17
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: are you guys doing. I'm doing great. It was so

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: fun to watch some football. And you know, as we're

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 1: recording this, we've got the last game here on and

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,919
Speaker 1: I'm really hoping that the rams just get destroyed because

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: I'm from Saint Louis, so I want to see the

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: Rams fail vengeance. All right, let's start with some of

23
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: these big news and injuries. We'll start with Keenan Allen,

24
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: who it looks like he's going to be out for

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. And I want to ask

26
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: you who who's gonna get these targets? Who are they

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: going to be redistributed to? Yeah, I mean I think

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: the biggest, you know, obvious winners are Travis Benjamin and

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates and Danny Woodhead actually as well. I mean,

30
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: I think those are the three trusted guys that Rivers has,

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: and he's gonna they'll all see an uptick in targets

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: from him. You know. The interesting thing everybody's writing about

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: Tyrrell Williams today and they should put Dontrell inman actually

34
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: more snaps than him yesterday. So interesting. You know, I

35
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: think you can read a little too much into those

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: things sometimes because you know, maybe you know, Williams is

37
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: younger and he you know, they wanted to grow into

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: the role or whatever. So that doesn't mean that's going

39
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: to be the situation all season. But you know, I

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: just thought it was interesting. Everybody's got Williams is like

41
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: their number two waiver pickup, and you never know in

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: situations like that, So so to me, Benjamin Gates would

43
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: head those are the safe guys that you think get

44
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: the uptick, and you know Williams is worth a flyer,

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: but I don't know if i'd go all in on

46
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: him this week either. I was reading a Pro Football

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: Focus at Antonio Gates was the worst starting tight end

48
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: yesterday in terms of how they grade players. Basic wow,

49
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: and I was I was really surprised to hear that

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: because I thought that he was still going to be

51
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: I guess he can be a week We shouldn't overreact

52
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: to week one. If you're listening and you're and you're

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: overreacting to week one, just calm down. It's it's week one.

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: It happens every season, and we see guys, you know,

55
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: like Dez Bryant bounce back and have terrific seasons. So

56
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: chill out and it's gonna be all right. But yeah,

57
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates was not very good in Week one, and

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: and so I think the big winner here is obviously

59
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: Travis Benjamin. I moved him way up in my rest

60
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: of season rankings and the way that I think about

61
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: rest of season rankings is if the draft was today,

62
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: where would you take them? So I want to ask you, who,

63
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: where would you take Travis Benjamin today? Wow, that's a

64
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: good question. I mean I think Allen was probably and

65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: I like Allen said. Don't get me wrong here, but

66
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: I think Allen was probably going like I always thought,

67
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: maybe eight to ten picks too high in drafts, Like

68
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: I saw him going like ten in some drafts, which

69
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: is crazy with some of the guys who was going

70
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: above that's numb. But yeah, I mean, you know, I

71
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: always thought he was kind of like an eighteen to

72
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: twenty two ranked player for me in that like you know,

73
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Cook's ish rains or something like that. But anyways,

74
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: I think Benjamin probably moves up from what was he

75
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: like seventy eighty maybe in draft, so you know, maybe

76
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: he's a top fifty ish player to me. I still

77
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: don't know if I trust him too much. He's not.

78
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: He's not one of those guys that prototypically would take

79
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: over as you know, type one receiver. So I like him.

80
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't think I would take him above maybe the

81
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: fifth round in redraft right now. The way that I

82
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: think about it is he was the number one. He

83
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: kind of was the number one, Gary Barnege. I guess

84
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: you could argue with the number one in Cleveland, but

85
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: same kind of situation. I mean, sure they have a

86
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: better quarterback, Philip Rivers is going to sling the ball

87
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: over the yard, but Benjamin's already been in this situation

88
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: and he wasn't super useful. So you know, it makes

89
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: me think of Davante Adams after that big injury to

90
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Jordie Nelson vall year and everyone moved him into

91
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: their top fifty and then he just pooped his pants. Yeah.

92
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Benjamin is good, but he's more of a burner.

93
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: So you know, I almost worry about him a little

94
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: bit with Rivers and that. You know, Rivers isn't like

95
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: a Joe Flacco long ball type guy or RG three

96
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: or whatever. But you know, he's not like a precise

97
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: route runner like Keenan allen As. So you know, again

98
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: I like Benjamin, but I don't know if he's gonna

99
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: take over there. Yeah, it makes me wonder if they're

100
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: just going to feed the rock to Melvin Gordon and

101
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: see what happened. That would be really, really interesting all right,

102
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Who knows how bad this ankle injury is.

103
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we're hearing it. He could be back this week.

104
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: It could be serious, and we've seen what happens with

105
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: serious ankle injuries for quarterbacks. I mean Sam Bradford tried

106
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: to play through it his entire second season. It kind

107
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: of ruined his career because they ended up getting their

108
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator fired and he was terrible after that. He's

109
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: had a different offensive coordinator pretty much every year. Obviously,

110
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen in Seattle. They have a

111
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: much more stable situation. They actually have weapons. But you know,

112
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: an ankle injury, especially to a running quarterback, can really

113
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: slow down your fantasy production. So what do you think

114
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: is gonna happen when Wilson does come back? And should

115
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: owners stream or should they pick someone up? Maybe Jimmy

116
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: Garoppolo who looked great against a very good secondary. Yeah,

117
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a Wilson owner too in one of

118
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: my home leaks, so I'm a little worried. You know,

119
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: anytime you hear the term walking boot, and I know

120
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll City wasn't in one, but you know, I

121
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: don't I don't ever believe those guys either, so I

122
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody should. So yeah, I'm worried. You know,

123
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: we'll see how he does this week. Supposedly he's gonna play,

124
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: so at that point, you're right, you worry about him

125
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: aggravating it. If it's like a high ankle sprain, those

126
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: can last, you know, good six weeks sometimes. Um, So yeah,

127
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: Wilson worries me. Right now, I think I think i'd

128
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: probably stream, you know, and I'm a Patriots fan, so

129
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm a homework through and through. But uh, you know,

130
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: Garoppolo has got a tough match up with Miami coming up,

131
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: and then he gets Houston. He's pretty good on defense,

132
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: and then the Bills and you know, all those teams

133
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: blitz a lot, and he looked good last night, so

134
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, I guess it might be worth the shot.

135
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: He has three home games coming up, which is pretty nice,

136
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: and theoretically Gronks healthy, I guess, So yeah, I mean

137
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: it's worth a shot. But I guess I'd probably rather

138
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 1: stream week to week and just find those better matchup plays,

139
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: um than put all my eggs in the Garoppolo basket.

140
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: Right now, let's talk about Gronkowski. So he's gonna come

141
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: back week two? Is that? Is that what you're hearing?

142
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't, how long could this go on?

143
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the ceiling? I guess you could say

144
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: on his injury? Yeah, I mean the interesting things nobody

145
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: really knows like he you know, all the Patriots beat

146
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: writers had him playing definite even when he was kind

147
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: of what he was like Wednesday popped up as questionable

148
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: and all the Patriots on the flight so I right, well, yeah,

149
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: that was when it got weird. And then all the

150
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: beat writers were like, yeah, it looks like he might

151
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: be out, but nobody really knew. Um, and he had

152
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury from I think it was the Bears

153
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: game in the preseason, and uh, you know who knows

154
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots are never exactly free within free great information,

155
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: and uh you know, he's one of those guys where

156
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: there were there were rumors up here at the talk

157
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: radio rumors he might be holding out and this is

158
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: his way of doing it. But I don't think that's

159
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: the case. Um yeah, I don't know. I mean part

160
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: part of me is like, well, they know they've got

161
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: the division. I don't I want to say sewn up.

162
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: But you know, they win it every year for the

163
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: most part, and I think they can kind of look

164
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: towards the playoffs. And at this point, with Brady missing

165
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: four games and Gronk you know, nursing whatever hamstring injury

166
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: he has, I wouldn't be surprised if they keep him

167
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: out like two three games. Yeah, especially after winning, you know,

168
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals on the road. I think that might

169
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: make Belichick a little cocky and say, hey, you know

170
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: I want to I won without Cronk on the road

171
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: in Arizona, so hey, why not? Um? So yeah, I mean,

172
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: hopefully he's back next week. For all of his owners.

173
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people took him in the

174
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: first round. Um, but it wouldn't shock me if we

175
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: see him back in like week three or four. Paytriots

176
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: have had a buy in the playoffs six straight seasons. Yeah,

177
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: it's nuts. I mean, it's it's it's amazing. It's yeah.

178
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a I'm spoiled as a fan, But

179
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: if I take that out of it, I mean it's

180
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: I think they have fifteen seasons that they haven't gone

181
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: even five hundred. They've been over five hundred, So you know,

182
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: people will throw out the cheating accusations and sometimes correctly,

183
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: but you know, it's just an amazing, sustained success that

184
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: they've had. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have a lot to

185
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: say about that, but I'm not going to get into

186
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: it because we could just I've been said over the

187
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: last year and a half. I'll just say this, everybody

188
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: cheats and this was was not a major thing. There

189
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: was a cover up obviously, but you know what it's

190
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: it's way overblown and it is interesting. But let's talk

191
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: about some fantasy football. So if Gronk is out for

192
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: those two or three weeks, how high are you How

193
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: high do you consider Martell's Bennett as a tight end?

194
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: Is he in the top five all of a sudden?

195
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: You know, that's a good question because you know it's

196
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: like sort of like you said with Benjamin and uh,

197
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's like Alan's out, everybody wants to rush

198
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: up and put them in their top whatever. And it's

199
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: kind of the same with Bennett. Like I did it

200
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: the other day. I think I had him on in

201
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: the fifth spot at tight end on Fantasy pros last

202
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: for Week one, and uh, you know they kept him

203
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: in because they're I mean The other thing people forget

204
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: with Brady's out, Gronk's out, almost their entire offensive line

205
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: is out. Like they're best players. A rookie that they

206
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: drafted in the second rounds on the line right now

207
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: this year. So they've got two tackles that just aren't, frankly,

208
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: aren't very good. So I think for the most part,

209
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: you might see Bennett into block a lot, just like

210
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: you was the other night. You got a couple of passes,

211
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: so you know, they might use him in the red

212
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: zone here and there. But at the same time, you

213
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: also might see him, you know, with those three four

214
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: catch for forty yard lines. So you know, I like Bennett.

215
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: I think he's got top five upside every week. But

216
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's got like a tight end

217
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: fifteen floor really, so he's got a little bit of variants. Yeah,

218
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm definitely considering a tight end one until Grant comes back.

219
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: I made the mistake of having him number five on

220
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: my rankings as well, and it didn't work out. But

221
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean we were wrong. It means the game

222
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: just didn't work out that way. There's there's so much

223
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: variants in the way things things happen. There's a lot

224
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: of volatility in fantasy football, so you win some of

225
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: you lose some. Now one that I definitely lost this season, Well,

226
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: it's looking that way at least. I was really high

227
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: in Sammy Watkins. Now, obviously there was always the foot concern.

228
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: It's the same injury as Dez Bryant had last year,

229
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: and it looks like they're bringing him back too soon.

230
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: So there was a report earlier today that Sammy Watkins

231
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: was going to miss considerable time that might even shut

232
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: him down for the entire season. And now Sammy Watkins

233
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: is say, no, I'm playing on Thursday. So what is

234
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: it is Sammy Watkins is gonna be good to go

235
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: or what is going on here? Yeah, I've seen anything

236
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: from I'm playing on Thursday to articles about how his

237
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: career might be in Jepters. So yes, I don't know.

238
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like most things, truth's probably somewhere

239
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: in the middle. So you know, we might be looking

240
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: at what was Brian out like six or eight games

241
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: something like that. So yeah, I think we're looking at

242
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: the same probably with Watkins, which is a bumber. I

243
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: was with you. I thought he'd have a big year,

244
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, Tyrod coming off that big deal. Excuse me,

245
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: have a little comfort with each other. But yeah, it's

246
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: looking like a lost year maybe for him. What does

247
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: this due to Tyrod Taylor? Without Sammy Watkins, he doesn't

248
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: really have anyone. I mean Robert Woods that's not going

249
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: to do the trick. So is Tyrod droppable at this moment?

250
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: I think he's borderline yeah, I mean it depends on

251
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: your roster. I think he's one of those guys even

252
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: for everybody that liked him a lot, you know, I

253
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: saw him. I think some people might have just been

254
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: getting cute. But like I saw him up in like

255
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: the top six seven on some rankings. I think so,

256
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: which is fine. But at the same time, if you

257
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: look at his both his offense as well as his

258
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: supporting cast, there's not much besides Watkins. I mean, I

259
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: like Charles Clay enough and which is okay, But for

260
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: the most part, Watkins was really going to be his

261
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: bread and potter this year. So you know, hopefully he's

262
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: not out too long. If if he is, I think

263
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: Tyrod's probably maybe like a QB fifteen to eighteen range

264
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: type guy with with upside every week because he can

265
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: give you those rushing yards. But that's when it worries

266
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: me because he can get hurt. But yeah, I mean

267
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: I think I think Tyrod's one of those guys where

268
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: he's probably more of a streamer every week right now.

269
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: The other thing this does is it kind of worries

270
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: me a little bit from McCoy because they were kind

271
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: of a ground and pounds as Rex likes to say

272
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: team anyways, so you know, you might see defensive stacking

273
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: the line a little bit more than they would have

274
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: um against McCoy now, So not a good thing for

275
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: anybody really if Watkins is out for extended time. Yeah, yep,

276
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: you're exactly right. Another situation that's just like what's going

277
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: on here is Jamal Charles. Everyone was saying he was

278
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: gonna be ready for week one and then all of

279
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: a sudden he might not be ready and then he's out.

280
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: Who know how long is he going to be out?

281
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Spencer where was phenomenal, so there's no reason

282
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: to bring him back. But where owners and Charles owners

283
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: want to know like is this gonna be a six

284
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: seven week kind of thing or is he going to

285
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: come back week two? Yeah? And you know reads a

286
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: little bit like Belichick, where he's just kind of weird

287
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: with where he does and he can never really predict

288
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: it so in different ways. But you know, you might

289
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: see him back this week with like, you know, a

290
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: twenty snap limit or something like weird like that, and

291
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: then they might ease him into forty snaps and fifty

292
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: snaps or whatever over the next few weeks. But yeah,

293
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: like you said, Where looked good the other night, West

294
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: was only I think four snaps behind Where, so they've

295
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: got a nice duel headed monster there. Yeah, I don't know.

296
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: I'm a little worried if if you if you own

297
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: Charles or I would be at least I don't know.

298
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: Do they look to trade him. Maybe they look to

299
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: trade one of where in West I would if I

300
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: were them, But if Charles is healthy that is. But yeah,

301
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what this really means for Charles.

302
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if his job is maybe fully in jeopardy,

303
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: but I think he's definitely more of like, you know,

304
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: going back to that redraft comment, you know, I think

305
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: he's more of a fourth fifth round Is that crazy

306
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: to say a guy than a second rounder, which he

307
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: was months ago, you know, And it's it's wild to

308
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: say that he could lose his job. He probably won't

309
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: because he's the all time leading rusher in terms of

310
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: yards percarey in NFL history. He's always had at least

311
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: five yards per carry every season of his career. No

312
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: starter did that last year. I mean, Jamal Charles has

313
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: had an amazing career when he's healthy. So to say

314
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: that he could lose his job just shows you how

315
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: talented spencer Ware is. But the thing is, Spencer Ware,

316
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: if if you were watching the game the other day,

317
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: they could split him out wide and he'd still be dangerous.

318
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: He might even be better than Jeremy Macklin. He is

319
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: so good. Yeah, And you know, I think the thing

320
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: is is if Charles is remotely healthy, they'll use him somehow,

321
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: you know. I mean he's a fantastic player. Like you said,

322
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna they're gonna use him in some way,

323
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: shape or form if they can. Um. But I think

324
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: it's like you said, where it's just looking really good

325
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: right now. They have Mackelin, they have Kelsey. Um. So

326
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: I think in terms of you know, two, three years

327
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: ago or even last year, when the offense really revolved

328
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: around Charles. I think I think we see that take

329
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: a step back, even if he is healthy this year,

330
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: all right, and then finally RG three fractured a bone

331
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: his shoulder and he's gonna be out there saying they're

332
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: going to reevaluate him in three to four weeks, but

333
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: we're probably looking at two months at least, maybe out

334
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: for the season. In fact, probably out for the season.

335
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: I think they put him on IR today, which one

336
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: as he is out right, they there's one spot where

337
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: they can bring him back off to the roster, and

338
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: I think that's weeks. Excuse me, I can never keep up.

339
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: I hit all these rules, but um, you know, RG three,

340
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: no one started him in fantasy unless you're in a

341
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: two QB league. So what really matters is, how's this

342
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: going to affect Josh Gordon when he comes back, Gary Barnage,

343
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: who obviously McCown loves Tyrrell Pryor who seemed to pass

344
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman. How does this affect these guys? Yeah, you know,

345
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm kind of bummed, and not because I'm a Browns

346
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: fan or an RG three fan or anything like that,

347
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: but I thought that offense was going to be fun

348
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: to watch as long as he stayed healthy. I mean,

349
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: it was you got you would you would just have

350
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: burners really with Coleman and Gordon Pryor and Barnege. I mean,

351
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: that would have been a nice offense as long as

352
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: he stayed healthy. And obviously that didn't last long at all. Um,

353
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: I don't think it helps him, But I don't think

354
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: McCown's that much worse either. I mean, actually probably better.

355
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: I think he might be, depending you know, it depends

356
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: on for these receivers. Yeah, yeah, but you know it's

357
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: like some of those down like those big plays, I

358
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: think RG three might have been better. But yeah, um,

359
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: you know I was it's like literally ten minutes before

360
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: he came on with you, I was just reading an article, uh,

361
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: I think it was by a Ravens beat writer saying

362
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: how it was a bad thing that RG three's out

363
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: for Ravens fans. His McCown does really well against the Ravens.

364
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: So they had all these stats where I think he's

365
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: averaged like three hundred and thirty yards a game against

366
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens or something like that. So yeah, I don't

367
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: think it hurts those guys too too much, you know,

368
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: if at all, And like you said, maybe it helps them.

369
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: You know, I like RG three, but he's not exactly

370
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: the most consistent quarterback either. Now, the thing I'm wondering now,

371
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: obviously I'm not going to count on an injury from

372
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: any one, or or root from or an injury, but

373
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: it sure would be interesting if mccoun gets hurt, does

374
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 1: Tyrrell Prior get a chance at the quarterback spot? How

375
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: fun would that be? Yeah? You know, I'm honestly not

376
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: that familiar with the Browns roster and know their third

377
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: quarterback is. But uh, yeah, I mean that would be interesting. Huh.

378
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'd throw it kind of well,

379
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: they've probably thrown the season already, but this is mostly

380
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: a joke. It would be so fun. But man, he

381
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: wasn't too bad a couple of years ago. Yeah, all right,

382
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: So what I'm wondering is I'm looking at the waiver

383
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: wire and we're going to talk about that in a minute.

384
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: There's not that many interesting piece he's out there this

385
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 1: week because it's after week one. So if you're losing

386
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen or if Sammy Watkins does end being out

387
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: for a while, instead of picking someone up, who's someone

388
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: that would be a good buy low candidate that we

389
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: could target via trade. Yeah. So you know, I think

390
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: anytime you're looking to buy a load, it's it's almost

391
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: like you gotta sort of like sniff out who's going

392
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: to have a knee jerk reaction into what. So Like

393
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: I like to kind of just look through targets for

394
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: wide receivers and see like who had a ton of

395
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: targets but didn't really have a lot of output for it.

396
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think as long as you're getting targets

397
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver, that's pretty safe. You know, like

398
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna come through at some point. And especially with

399
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: with you know, the way things are with people playing

400
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: fantasy now, with everything's so knee jerk. Guys that had

401
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: a you know, pretty good target week but maybe not

402
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: a lot of output, Like like Alan Robinson. You know,

403
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: he was a first and early second round pick for

404
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people. He led, He led the league

405
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,239
Speaker 1: in targets yesterday, but I think he only had like

406
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: nine PPR points or something like that. Maybe a couple more,

407
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: but um, he just didn't have a great game. But

408
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: they looked at him a ton, and he played a

409
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: good team and he had a couple of balls that

410
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: you could have argued her interference and you know there

411
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: were a couple of maybe could have caught. So I

412
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: think those are the types of guys where it's like, man,

413
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: if you can steal like a first round type guy

414
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: like him for maybe two pieces that did well, like hey,

415
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: maybe you throw wear at him and maybe like another piece, um,

416
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: and then you kind of steal Robinson off somebody or

417
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: or Jarvis Landry. You know, he had one of the

418
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: tough matchups that's not the toughest that you can have. UM,

419
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: and he actually, you know, had a lot of targets.

420
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: He did all right actually considering the circumstances. So he's

421
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: another guy. You know, their offense more or less goes

422
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: through him. U Golden Tate, you know, he's another one.

423
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: I think that offense is going to more or less

424
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: run through him. And Stafford looked good. So much hype

425
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: with Marvin Jones, which I'm not buying it. Also, those

426
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: are great ones, I agree. Randall Cobb is another one.

427
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, everybody's kind of down on him

428
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: last year, and I think this is just my opinion,

429
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people share it. He

430
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: suffered from having to be the number one last year,

431
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: and you know, Nelson being back really helps him a lot.

432
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: And I think, again, this is a guy that went

433
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: in like the third fourth round of most drafts, and

434
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: you know what was it just two years ago? He

435
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: was a top fifteen player. So he had an OK

436
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: game yesterday and not a great one. You might be

437
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: able to get his owner, you know, feeling a little

438
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: a little frustrated, or you know, maybe the brand Brandon

439
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: Marshall owner. So you know, there's a lot of those guys.

440
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: Especially at wide receiver, you can you can look and

441
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: just look at targets, and same with running back. You

442
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: can you can look and see who's getting carries and

443
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: maybe didn't have a great game and just kind of

444
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: go from there. This is a little bit on a

445
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: different note because it's not necessarily a buy low, but

446
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: a player that I think is severely underrated right now

447
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: is Steve Smith. He had nine targets again, which was

448
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: twenty six point five percent of the targets on the Ravens.

449
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, next most was Mike Wallace had six. He's

450
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: going to keep getting targets as long as he's health.

451
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: I know he's not getting a ton of snaps, and

452
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: he's not as explosive as he once was. But if,

453
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: like you said, if you're getting targets, you're gonna get

454
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: yards and you're gonna get your touchdowns. And Steve Smith

455
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: was very good when he was healthy last year, and

456
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: I didn't understand why he was being drafted in what

457
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: the eleventh, twelfth round, maybe even later in a lot

458
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: of leagues. But you know, if you can grab him

459
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: real cheap and you just lost one of these guys

460
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: Kenyan Allen, Sammy Watkins, I'd be looking at the Steve

461
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: Smith owner and maybe he's even on your free agents.

462
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: He's he's on the waiver wire for a bunch of leagues,

463
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: And that's the guy that I would look at. Steve Smith.

464
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I like Steve. You know, he's obviously

465
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: an injury risk just because of his age, but yeah,

466
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: he was I agree with you. Every draft I was like,

467
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: why is there a guy who might be a team's

468
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver sitting here in the tenth round?

469
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: Like I don't understand. So yeah, I think he's a guy.

470
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: If you can't pick him up off the waiver wire,

471
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: you can probably get him for free. Really, let's jump

472
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: over to the waiver wire and this is gonna be

473
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: exciting for me every week except for really this week,

474
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the running back and I don't see

475
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: anybody that excites me. Theo Riddick. Maybe he's owned in

476
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: about thirty percent of leagues, and yes he's uh, he's

477
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: gonna be great in PPR leagues, but he's already owned

478
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: in PPR leagues. He got seven carries, which is more

479
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: than I expected. Um, you know, it looks like those

480
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: Lions targets from Calvin Johnson are gonna be redistributed to

481
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: some of those running backs Abdullah and Riddick. But he's

482
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: not running the ball enough. He's not gonna get the

483
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: ball in the red zone, so I'm not picking him up.

484
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: Who do you like? Is there anybody that you're adding? Yeah,

485
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I don't really love running back this week. Um,

486
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a pp if you're in a

487
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: PPR league, I think James White's a guy to look at. Um,

488
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, it depends on like any ESPN leagues, I

489
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: think he fits your threshold. And yeah, who not? I

490
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: forget which one, but um, you know, if you're in

491
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: a PPR league. I think White's the guy that he's not.

492
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: He's not Deon Lewis, but he has that role and

493
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: it's it's a role that Belichick's always done well with

494
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: Kevin Falk and uh Deon Lewis and Shane Vereen and

495
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: now White. So you know, he's he's not a spectacular player,

496
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: but he's to get probably four to five catches a

497
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: game and you know, run the ball a couple of

498
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: times and you know it gets He does get endzone

499
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: looks too, which is kind of weird, but he does. Um.

500
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: So you know he's a guy to look at in

501
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: PPR leagues. DeAndre Washington looked good and I think he's

502
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: more of a handcuff for Murray Um. But yeah, like

503
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of the bottom of the barrel, like

504
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: you said, with running back where I'm down to DeAndre Washington.

505
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: I think he's probably a little too small to be

506
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: a feature back if Murray Baker. Yeah, and you know,

507
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: if you're if you want to get really crazy and

508
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: you have a free spot. Had Marshawn Lynch, I mean,

509
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: maybe he comes back. There were rumors last week interesting

510
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: Matt Jones didn't look too great tonight. So hey, you know,

511
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: you never know. Now another guy that you know if

512
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: you're looking for a running back. He's on the waiver

513
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 1: wire in eighty percent of leagues. And I didn't really

514
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: think about this at first because he's not in the

515
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: waiver wire in any of my leagues. That's because I

516
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,239
Speaker 1: own him in every single league. Is Jeric McKinnon. I

517
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: don't understand how he's available in so many leagues. I mean,

518
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: isn't really that's crazy? Isn't that amazing? He was so

519
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: good at the end of last season catching balls out

520
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: of the backfield as you know, kind of a third

521
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: down back. Even though AP's there, he gets plenty of

522
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: carries every game because they're so committed to running the

523
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: ball and they're gonna be with Teddy Bridgewater out, it's

524
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: not going to change at all. So Jeric McKinnon is

525
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: he's flex worthy right now. And if AP goes down,

526
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: Jeric McKinnon's in RB one, So why not at him

527
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: right I mean, he's the handcuff for you know, one

528
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: of the better running backs in fantasy football. Yeah, so,

529
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: and even when he's not a handcuff, he's, like you said,

530
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: he's a pretty you know, serviceable guy, especially in PPR leagues.

531
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't I don't really understand why he's

532
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: not owned that well. I haven't seen any leagues like that.

533
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think you're right, as percentage is really low.

534
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: But I don't know any leagues where he's not. Oh

535
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I don't really know how they

536
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: run those percentages, but it seems a little bit off. Yeah, yeah,

537
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: it really does seem off to me too. But you know,

538
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking at most of the other ones and they

539
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: all seem accurate. So maybe it's just because we play

540
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: in leagues with smart guys or something. Yeah, they need

541
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: to rerun the algorithm. Yep. All right, let's look at

542
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers and there are some better options here. We're

543
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: watching Eli Rodgers turn into a big Ben's number two

544
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: guy tonight and he looks impressive. That is a talented

545
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: young man. And then Taji Sharp who had eleven targets.

546
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: Those are two guys I really like. Now, Davante Adams, who,

547
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: as as we mentioned earlier, was a top fifty wide

548
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: receiver to start the year last year, Now that didn't

549
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: work out. And Aaron Rodgers doesn't really seem to have

550
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: much of a connection with him, but he made some

551
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: really impressive place he was. He was pretty good yesterday.

552
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: I was really impressed, and he seems to have that

553
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: number three job sealed down for the Packers. So what

554
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: do you think about these guys, Sharp Davante, Adams and

555
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: Elias and Eli Rodgers. Yeah, I mean Adams is one

556
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: of those guys and it sounds like you're the same

557
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: if I'm reading between the lines here where it's just

558
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: like I can't go there again. Yeah, Like I just

559
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: don't know if I can do it again. I imagine it,

560
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: but I'm not doing it. No. I mean, I'm sure

561
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: he'll be in a lot of articles this week. And

562
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: it's like I was. I was one of those people

563
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: that was kind of big on him last year, and

564
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: then then I started watching him more and I was like,

565
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: this guy's not that good um, And they just have

566
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: an offense where there's so many mouths to feed too,

567
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 1: especially with Jared Cookintown now ye, so yeah, I'm not

568
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: really in on him. Uh. I like Rogers. The one

569
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: I guess a little bit bit of cold water i'd

570
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: pour on that is that Wheaton was out and you

571
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: really do like Wheaton, so I like Rogers, I'd pick

572
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: him up, but I don't think you can expect this

573
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: much from him every week. And then who was the

574
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: last one? Sharp? You know what? I like Sharp the

575
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: most out of all of them. I just think he's

576
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: he seems like he's got a really good rapport with Mariota.

577
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: He's kind of their number one. He was on the

578
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: field for all of isn't it amazing? All but four snaps? Yeah,

579
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: he was the fifteenth receiver taking in the draft this year.

580
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's the nuts. So yeah, I mean I

581
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: like him. I'd i'd add him. You know, over all

582
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: those guys you mentioned and anybody were going to mention

583
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: probably in the next couple of minutes. So yeah, I

584
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: think he's the number one. We'ver ad this. He probably

585
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: a month ago. Sharpe was drafted in what two percent

586
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: of leagues and now all of a sudden they trade

587
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: Dorial Greenbeckham and Taj Sharp is the number one guy.

588
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,239
Speaker 1: It's just amazing how either you know he didn't get

589
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: as many snaps. Yeah, Sharp's the guy. It's crazy. Yeah,

590
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: I mean I don't this is this is the one

591
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: of the weird things about football and it's great. Though.

592
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: Another guy that I'd like to talk about, and uh,

593
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: this is the really intrigguing one to me, even beyond

594
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: Eli Rodgers. This is the one player that I'm picking

595
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: up if he's available in my league. It's Philip Dorset.

596
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: It looks like he's gonna be a big part of

597
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: Andrew Lux's offense in Indian. You know they're gonna throw

598
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: the ball six hundred and fifty times. Keep in mind,

599
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: Philip Dorset ran a four point three three forty. He

600
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: is lightning fast. He's a good player. I mean he was.

601
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: He was one of those guys where everyone was like,

602
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: why why are they taking him? They need to and

603
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: you know they need a lineman, they need defense whatever,

604
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: and uh, you know he was the first round talent

605
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: for a reason. He had injuries last year. So yeah,

606
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: I mean he worries me just to tag because they

607
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: have Moncrief and Hilton the head of them. But you're right,

608
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: it looked great the other night. They're gonna throw the

609
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: ball a tony. You know, they faced some not so

610
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: great defenses in their division, so all the Jags looked

611
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: a little better the other day. But yeah. I mean,

612
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: I think he's one of those guys you add, um,

613
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: maybe right behind Sharpe Nick. Is there any other wide

614
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: receiver that stands out to you this week? I like

615
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: a few, actually. I think Chris Hogan looked really good

616
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: the other night. He's one of those guys that could

617
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: put up like Brandon LaFell numbers from two years ago,

618
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: which isn't other worldly, but it was, you know, it

619
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: was like a seventh three round value. So you know,

620
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: I think Hogan's one of those guys that is out

621
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: there in most leagues it's worth taking a look at.

622
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: I like Curse out in Seattle. You know, he's he's

623
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: like they're two slash three receiver. But there's games where

624
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: he gets more looks than than Locke, it does, especially

625
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Um Beasily got a ton of

626
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: targets the other day. I don't love him, but I

627
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: look at that and I say, hey, maybe maybe Prescott's

628
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: getting familiar with him. Yeah. So so those are always

629
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: things to look for. And I know it sounds like

630
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: cheesy with you know, QB rapport or whatever, but it's real. Um,

631
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace looked pretty good the other day and Flacco

632
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: throws a good deep ball, he's another guy to look at. Yeah,

633
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: that's a great point. Richard Perriman with that that big

634
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: haul that he had, that was a fantastic catch. Yeah,

635
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: he's available probably in quite a few weeks as well. Um,

636
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: we mentioned Williams before from San Diego, and you know,

637
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: I don't know about this, but like I might grab

638
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: Victor Cruise a bunch this week. He looked good the

639
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: other day. He's gonna get the snaps. I mean, they're

640
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: easing him back in. But eventually the Giants run a

641
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: ton of wide receiver three three wide receiver. They throw

642
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: a lot. They want to throw a lot. Yeah, I

643
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: mean they run a you know, you guys put what

644
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: put up what like forty five yards the last couple

645
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: one years, So I mean, yeah, I don't know. Cruise

646
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: is probably gonna get hurt at some point, but he

647
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 1: looked good the other day. And you know, ode Odell

648
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: Beckham's gonna draw what five six defenders every place, so

649
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: that's got to leave someone open, right exactly. All right,

650
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: let's move over to tight end. And it is ugly

651
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: once you get under owned. There's some guys with with

652
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of upside. You know, maybe a Clive Walford,

653
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: who's he's the number three guy in Oakland. They really

654
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: don't have any one besides Mary Cooper and Michael Crabtree.

655
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: M So, yeah, Walford's gonna get some looks. But the

656
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: guy that stands out to me with upside is Virgil Green.

657
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: He's the most athletic of a bunch, and he plays

658
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: for an offense where look, you got to Mary's Thomas

659
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders. So of course they're gonna get most of

660
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: the targets. But if they have to pass the ball,

661
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: Virgil Green's not a bad option. Yeah. Green's a good player. Um,

662
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: I think you know, he hinges a little bit on

663
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback player there, and I'm not really sold on

664
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: Simming at all. Uh So you know, maybe he gets

665
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: better if Lynch comes in, But yeah, I think he's

666
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: a guy to look at the tight ends bad this week.

667
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: I actually just lost Art, So I'm kind of in

668
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: this boat looking at guys that we're talking about. Um

669
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: Tammy and got a lot of looks in Atlanta this week.

670
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: You know, he's not the best player. Yeah, he doesn't

671
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: get me excit it either, But again, it's like, if

672
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: you're looking for targets, it's not the worst thing to do.

673
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph looked all right, but at the same time,

674
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: it's like, how much to Sean Hill actually play? Like

675
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: I would imagine they want Bradford in there at some point,

676
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: So you can't really look at his numbers with Hill

677
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: the other day and say that's gonna happen going forward.

678
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: So and plus it's Kyle Rudolph. I mean, if you're

679
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: thinking about picking up Tammy or Kyle Rudolph and you're listening,

680
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: I've just got to say, you really screwed up this preseason.

681
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: You blew it. I'm sorry, dude, I'm I'm in that situation.

682
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: I have it's all giving no offense. I mean it's

683
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: I have Earth's going down and I've green on my

684
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: on my ir So I'm looking at Tammy right now. Okay, Yeah, yeah,

685
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: you didn't exactly blow that. That was that was some

686
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: tough luck. Yeah, what can you do right now? A

687
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: lot of people are going to be talking about, you know,

688
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: go get Austin Seffren jenkins Um. He got a tight it,

689
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: he got a touchdown. He was one of the top

690
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: scoring tight ends. He had eighteen snaps. He was third

691
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: parting the team for tight end snaps behind Cameron Bright

692
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: and Luke Stalker. Do not pick this guy up. He's

693
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: like literally the definition of fools gold one target. I mean,

694
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: you can't really be too happy. It was a really

695
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: good catch, it was, and he's a good player. I

696
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: think he's just got a bad attitude and they've kind

697
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: of buried him on the bench and maybe they want

698
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: him to succeed and prove himself. But I'll believe it

699
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: when I see it. Please do not pick him up.

700
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: Please do not pick him up. Like, if you do

701
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: pick him up, at least, don't tell people that you're

702
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: listening to my podcast, because I don't want people to

703
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: think that we're giving out bad advice or something. Yeah,

704
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: stay away, all right, Nick. Finally, I want to talk

705
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: about what happened in Week one and how players stocks

706
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: have changed since then. Let's start of the quarterback position.

707
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: We already talked about Tyrod Taylor, who has me absolutely panicking.

708
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: Who's one quarterback who really impressed you this week and

709
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: their stock is a lot higher as far as you're concerned.

710
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Winston is the obvious answer. He

711
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: looked he looked great the other day. Um, he actually

712
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,239
Speaker 1: looked pretty good at the end of the last year.

713
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: And I think we all kind of just forgot about

714
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: it or something, because I didn't see a lot of

715
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: people talking to him up at all. Um, he's got

716
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: a good young receiver with Evans. Maybe he Sefari and

717
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: Jenkins catches on eventually. Um, but he's still got v Jacks,

718
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 1: who didn't really do a lot the other or yesterday actually. Um,

719
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, Winston's a good player. He can

720
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: do a little bit with his legs. Um. So I

721
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: think he's probably the one that impressed I would, I

722
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: would imagine everybody the most this weekend. Alex Smith looked good,

723
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he got a lot of those

724
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: points in the in the comeback. But he's kind of sneaky,

725
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, he's not too exciting. He doesn't have a

726
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: ton of receiving threats other than Kelsey and Macklin. But

727
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: Conley showed up yesterday and Smith put up with like

728
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty yards or something like that. And

729
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: I like Albert Wilson too. I don't think ye, I

730
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: don't think his surrounding cast is all that bad and

731
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: especially where coming out of the backfield and run in

732
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: deep routes. I mean, true, They've got some stuff going

733
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: on in Kansas City, and he's always been a solid quarterback.

734
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: If you need to pick someone up, you can rely

735
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: on Alex Smith. Now another guy that I think is

736
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: going to come into that territory. I was amazed how

737
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: ready Carson Wentz is. Yeah, this kid can play some

738
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: football already, and he can do a little bit with

739
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: his legs. Table Like I was, I was talking with

740
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: somebody the other day on Twitter. I forget who it was,

741
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: John John Procter, I think his name was. He's a writer,

742
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: and uh, he want to give him credit. We were

743
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: talking about it and I was like, we were talking

744
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: about Dak Prescott as ADFS player, and I was like,

745
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, Wentz might not be the worst pivot, just

746
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: just to kind of be different a little bit. And

747
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: he was like, yeah, that's a good call. You know,

748
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: he does a little bit with his legs, and he's

749
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: got a pretty good offense, and you know he's playing

750
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: he's playing a bad defense last weekend. Um, so that

751
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: that worries me a little bit about him going forward.

752
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: But he looked good. You know he's got he's got Matthews,

753
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: he's got sproles out of the backfield, and actually both

754
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: Matthews is um and Aguilar and what's his name, Greenbackham,

755
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: So you know he's got he's got a pretty good receive,

756
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: even core. So yeah, I mean, I don't know if

757
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: I'd rushed to grab him right now, but if you're

758
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: in a two QB league and he snacked him at

759
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: the end of your draft, you're probably pretty psyched right now. Yep, yep,

760
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: I definitely agree. You know, we were talking about Alex

761
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: Smith and I always thought that he was so boring,

762
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: just a vanilla quarterback. Did you watch that game? He

763
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 1: was going nut? He is fiery man. Yeah, yeah, I

764
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: always thought he was pretty milktoast as well. But yeah,

765
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: he's a new thing. Maybe he's going to turn into

766
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady all of a sudden. Hey, it might

767
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: not be the worst thing for me. I was drafted

768
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: six rounds higher. You know this is true. All right,

769
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: Let's let's take a look at the running backs. And

770
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: I hate to say this, but you know I'm gonna

771
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: be saying this every week. I was wrong about C. J. Anderson.

772
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: I was so wrong about C. G. Anderson and Matt

773
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: fourte two. I had these guys really low in my

774
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: draft lists, and I had them really really low week one,

775
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: and they both looked very good. Yeah, Anderson looked good.

776
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you've had him on yet,

777
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: but you should have ex seely On on your podcast

778
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: and he's great. Tell him that because he loves c

779
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: J H. Yeah, I thought. I thought Anderson looked really good.

780
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: Um in four pay as well and four take out

781
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: a lot of carries. That was the other thing I

782
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: was interested to see. I think he had twenty two

783
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: and you know, Anderson obviously looked great against a good

784
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: defense too. So yeah, I mean, I think both of

785
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: those guys are probably at the top, if not the

786
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: top two, if the impressive running backs this week? Is

787
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: there anyone else who really stood at you? Yeah? You

788
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: know what, SURPRISINGLY liked crow Well. I think he put it.

789
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: You know, he looked pretty good and I think fifteen

790
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: or sixteen carries he found the end zone. That made

791
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: me so mad. I was a Duke Johnson guy. I know,

792
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: I know me too, me too, I'm not a crow

793
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: Well guy. But he looked good. And I read a

794
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: quote the other day where he said he had a

795
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: goal of a thousand yards or something like that, and

796
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: then they told Hugh Jackson that. Hugh Jackson said that's it,

797
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, man, he likes Crowell. Huh, Like

798
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: he thinks he's gonna put up more than a thousand yards.

799
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: So that made me kind of think twice about him

800
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: the other day, and he proved it over the weekend,

801
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I liked him. Um obviously, Riddick and Sims

802
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: both looked good and in PPR leagues, UM where impressed

803
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: me a lot. Even look, Eric Blunt actually looked better

804
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: than I thought he was gonna. Look, he ran hard,

805
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: you know, he kind of loafs around a lot, and

806
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: he ran with a purpose other than the fumble last night.

807
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: So is he gonnaways his job now? Where they just

808
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: gonna put him on the bench. They put him back

809
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: out the next drive. I was. I was completely shocked.

810
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: I don't know who he would lose his job too.

811
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they don't really have anybody else on the

812
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: roster that other than like Bolden and he's no good.

813
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: So pick up Carlos Williams. That would make that would

814
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: make one of our developers so happy he kept he

815
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: kept Carlos Williams in our in our keeper league. Wow,

816
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's pretty insane. Yeah, I mean I wouldn't

817
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: be shocked, but yeah, I don't think they do that. Now.

818
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: What about on the opposite end of spectrum, who was

819
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: from running backs that really concerned you? I had one

820
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: for me is Davante Freeman? Oh Man, would I be panic?

821
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: And people on my teams? Fortunately I knew better. He's

822
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: at the top of my list. Yeah. He uh, he

823
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 1: almost splits. I think I might. He might have even split,

824
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: but it was close to it split snaps with Coleman. Um.

825
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you took him in the second round,

826
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: you gotta be hit in the panic button right now.

827
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: And if you took Coleman in a later round and

828
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: didn't have Freeman, you know you should be maybe trying

829
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: to trade him to the Freeman owner. Um. Yeah, I

830
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: don't know Freeman. Freeman's worrisome right now. And I liked

831
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: him a lot last year. He looked really, really good

832
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 1: in short stretches and then he got hurt towards the ends.

833
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: But yeah, they laid Coleman. They're phasing him in, and

834
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: that's definitely a worrisome one. You know they were playing

835
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: I will say they were playing from behind, so you

836
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: know they used Coleman a little bit more than they

837
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: would if they were playing with the lead or you know, close,

838
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't be panicking completely, but I'd either be

839
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: like tapping or close to smacking the panic button right now.

840
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: Um ap worried me a tad just not him really,

841
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: just more so the situation, like the run blocking didn't

842
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: look good ending the run though they are they are,

843
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: but you know, Hill's hill, and yeah, you're right, I'm

844
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: not gonna get any better. And I don't know if

845
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: Bradford's any better, to be honest, So I worry a

846
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: little bit. And you know, he's proven us wrong in

847
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: those situations before when they had like Joe Webbitt quarterback

848
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Yes, so so maybe he'll

849
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: prove me wrong here too. But he is getting up

850
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: there in age, and you know how many years can

851
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: you carry that offense? I worry about him a little bit,

852
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: not a ton. I don't really love Eddie Lacy to

853
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: begin with, and he looked good and spurts the other night,

854
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: but I feel like that's how they're gonna use him like,

855
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're going to see a whole

856
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: lot of twenty carry games out of him, and I

857
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: think the other day it might have proved that. I

858
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: think it was just the game script. I'm really high

859
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: in Eddie Lacey, and I'm gonna try to buy low

860
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 1: on him here in week two after I think he

861
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 1: has another kind of slow game. They also gave Starks

862
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: at least one goal line carry though, so they McCarthy

863
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: does like Starks for whatever. That worries me a tad,

864
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, he looked Lacy looked good, though, I will

865
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: say when he did carry the ball and then Gore,

866
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 1: you know, he's the other one. It's like, what year

867
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: is he gonna fall off? And he looked okay the

868
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: other day, not great, not horrible, But he worries me

869
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: just in that they don't have anybody else to spell him.

870
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: So he's gonna, you know, put some more wear on

871
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: those tires, and they just don't have a good line

872
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 1: and they're you know, we said before, they're probably gonna

873
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: throw the ball like six hundred times this year. So

874
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: you know, I don't hate any of those guys, but

875
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 1: Gory p and Lacy worried me as well as framed. Now,

876
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: you brought up Tevin Coleman, and we really should have

877
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: talked about him in the waiver wire segment because he

878
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: is available in just a tad over fifty percent of leagues,

879
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: which is just absolutely nuts. If he is available in

880
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: your league, do whatever you have to do, drop like

881
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: your eighth round pick if you have to to get

882
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman, because he needs to be owned in one

883
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 1: hundred percent of leagues right now. He's he's extremely good. Yeah,

884
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think you summed it up perfectly.

885
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: You shouldn't think you have the waiver wire right now.

886
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: All right, let's jump over to wide receiver. Now that

887
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: we covered Tevin Coleman, I just didn't even think to

888
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: bring him up. It's like Jerk McKinnon. He's owned in

889
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 1: every single one of my league. So in what league

890
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: is he actually available? I don't know, man, Obviously I'm

891
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: not listening to this podcast. I mean, maybe maybe they're

892
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: running like eighteen you know, wa waiver wire reports, but

893
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a weird one. All right, wide receiver,

894
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: I'm really high in Jordan Matthews after week one fourteen targets. Yeah,

895
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: what do you think? Yeah, yeah, I'm in. I'm in.

896
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: I've always liked him. He had you know, he has

897
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: a drop seas sometimes, so yeah, you gotta worry about that.

898
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I think Wentz is ultimately going

899
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: to be an improvement from what Matthews has had the

900
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: last couple of years. I think Peterson's probably a little

901
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: bit better for him than Chip Kelly might have been,

902
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: which is crazy to say, and I wouldn't have said

903
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: that two years ago. So yeah, I mean I like

904
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: Matthews a lot. I think we talked about Benjamin obviously

905
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: before Willie Sneed looked really good. You know that Breeze

906
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: isn't gonna throw for what was it like four hundred

907
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: and fifty yards or whatever he every game, So well, yeah,

908
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: you're right he might. They're gonna have to keep up

909
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: with all those points deep opponents are going to score

910
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: on their defense. Oh my godess, you're not kidding, um,

911
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: you know. But Thomas came on a little bit. So

912
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: like I wasn't big on Sneed going into yesterday, I

913
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 1: come out higher on him. But I still worry because

914
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: Thomas still got I think he's playing banged up. He was,

915
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: he was, and he still got targets too. So um,

916
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think if you have sneed, you might

917
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: want to sell high on him, if if somebody's buying

918
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: into the fact that he's like an agree top twenty

919
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: receiver or something like that. Um, but he looked good.

920
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: H fitz looked good. I've always been, you know, saying

921
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: people are drafting Fitzgerald too low. Use my guy got

922
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: him in every league. Yeah yeah, and he was going

923
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: like what like the sixth round, which is crazy, not

924
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: in my leagues. I was taking him in like the

925
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: third just face when I got him smart. I mean

926
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: I saw him dropping. You know, I did a lot

927
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: of MFL tens this year, and he was going in

928
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: like the fifty sixty range, and some of them wasn't

929
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: like what is happening? Um? So yeah, I think he

930
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: looked good. Obviously he showed he's not. You know, he

931
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: hasn't lost a step yet. Um. I thought Edelman looks

932
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: better than I expected him too as well. I thought

933
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: all those Patriots receivers were gonna struggle with Jimmy g

934
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: and Edelman really carried the offense. Now Grant comes back

935
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: whenever and you know, limits that a tad probably, but

936
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: I still think Edelman as long as he's health, he's,

937
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 1: you know, top top guy. That's the thing about Edelman

938
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: is that injuries coming. I hate to see it, but

939
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: it would it probably anyone in the league now that

940
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen's down, it's it's Edelman in the way he

941
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: plays too. Yeah, it's just like he looks for contact

942
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: almost sometimes with the ball boy. Um. But yeah, those

943
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: those are the guys that probably stuck out to me

944
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: the most. And Wallace too. You know, like we talked

945
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: about him a little bit. If Joe Flacco is not elite,

946
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: but he throws a good deep ball and that's really

947
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: what all Wallace does well. Um, so you know he's

948
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: gonna be hit or miss, but you could get some

949
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: of those like eighty yard touchdown games out of Wallace

950
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, yeah, you're exactly right. Another guy stands

951
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: out to me, and this is another player where I'm

952
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: just shaking my head because I was so wrong. Calvin

953
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: Benjamin Man. Was he impressive coming back from that injury.

954
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna play like twenty snaps and

955
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: get I don't know, two receptions for fifteen yards. He

956
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: was awesome. Dude. I had him at like I think

957
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: I moved him down to like thirty six or sometimes

958
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: in my wide receiver ranking. I was like, I mean

959
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: I think everybody did that. You know, it was like

960
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: good good defense against him. Snap count, you know, maybe

961
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: Funcius steps up so much to him and then you know,

962
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: then he comes in and does that. So yeah, I'm

963
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: with you. He was on my short list of impressive

964
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: guys this week. It was like, I think every fantasy

965
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: analyst was like, wait, where's the snap count? Where? Why

966
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: doesn't he I think he dropped a couple, but um, yeah,

967
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: he was definitely the what third fourth round pick that

968
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people had him slotted in at, you

969
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: know before we started getting worried about him. And then finally,

970
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: which wide receivers are you low on or at least

971
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 1: lower on after Week one? Um? Yeah, you know Vjas

972
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: was one of them. He was one of those guys

973
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 1: where I almost thought he might have a better day

974
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: than Evans just because he's not He's you know, he's

975
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good receiver getting older, but you know, he's

976
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: more or less the same size as Evans, and he's

977
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: sometimes more reliable. So I was like, yeah, you know,

978
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: sneaky way v Jacks has a big game over Evans

979
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: and that obviously didn't happen. So I was a little

980
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: disappointed in him. I didn't have two high hopes, but

981
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: I thought he'd be better. Um, I'm a little disappointed

982
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: in not so much what they did, but what's going

983
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: to happen to him. I think with the Broncos receivers,

984
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think Thomas is going to suffer maybe

985
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: like around value than he than he went in drafts um,

986
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 1: and probably the same with Sanders and nothing too extreme.

987
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: But you know, if you got Thomas in this at

988
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: like twenty five, I think he's maybe like thirty five

989
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: and Sanders the same thing. Um. And Thomas has hurt

990
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: a little bit now too, I guess. So you know,

991
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't love their situation. We'll see what happens when

992
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: and if Lynch comes in, but I think those guys

993
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:11,479
Speaker 1: you have to knock down maybe just a tad. John

994
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 1: Brown has a little disappointed in you know the guy.

995
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: For me, Yeah, he only had four targets and he'll

996
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: have his big games because the Patriots were really just

997
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 1: trying to limit downfield stuff. And that's his forte obviously,

998
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: so um he wears me a little bit though, just

999
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: because they have so many mouths to feed there, and

1000
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: you know there's the other Brown, even on top of

1001
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: Floyd and Fitzgerald. Camar Aiken disappointed me a little bit.

1002
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: I thought he'd take more of a front seat there,

1003
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 1: and he obviously didn't. End you know, I think this

1004
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: guy was a little bit more of a sleeper darling.

1005
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: But Tyler Boyd disappointed me too. I thought he'd be

1006
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: a bigger part of that offense and he just wasn't.

1007
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: So you know, I wasn't. I didn't actually have too

1008
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: too many guys on my hugely disappointing receiver list. I

1009
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 1: really only picked one guy and it was John Brown.

1010
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Floyd was not that great. But the reason

1011
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: why he's because Belichick every single game picks one guy

1012
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: to shut down, and Butler just shut down Floyd. And

1013
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: it's because Belichick thinks Floyd is their best receiver. Now,

1014
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: John Brown didn't have any kind of attention like that,

1015
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: and he did nothing. And I know he's had the

1016
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: headaches and the concussion issues, but that's another reason to

1017
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: be concerned. I mean, there were a lot of people

1018
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: I was talking to saying John Brown was going to

1019
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: be the number one in Arizona. Yeah, yeah, I don't

1020
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: know that was a little that might be a little extreme,

1021
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I mean I think he's one of

1022
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: those guys where they can revolve the offense around him

1023
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: sometimes he's that good. But yeah, like you know, like

1024
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: I said, the Patriots were put in McCardy, you know,

1025
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: at center field, basically just kind of limiting those downfield

1026
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: plays and really daring Palmer to be patient and go underneath,

1027
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: which he doesn't really like to do. So yeah, I'm

1028
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: a little surprised didn't go more to Brown in that aspect,

1029
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: where you know, they could have kind of played him

1030
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: off of Fitzgerald and gone underneath a little bit more

1031
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: and kind of create some plays for maybe a swing

1032
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: pass or whatever. But yeah, I'm not panicking really on him,

1033
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 1: but I'm a little bit worried, and like you said,

1034
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: those concussions are tough, and it's sad really that these

1035
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: guys are getting them so often, put you know, on

1036
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: the fantasy side with it without the sad human element,

1037
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: you just can't predict them. So it's like, I don't

1038
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,399
Speaker 1: really like to target those guys once you know they

1039
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 1: have them, Um, just because they get one or two

1040
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: and they miss four weeks, so which which is? You know,

1041
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: there's they have other worries besides that, obviously, but in

1042
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: our selfish fantasy ways, we're just like, all right, well,

1043
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, I've got a guy sitting on that bench

1044
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: and I don't know what to do with them at

1045
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: this point. All right, Nick, Well that's all the questions
