1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Coming off on NFL Fantasy Live, we're gonna try to

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: sort through some fantasy and scratchers, Philip Rivers, Lashaw McCoy,

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: and the Cleveland backfield. Speaking of Philip Rivers, James Fabbs,

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: you told us to sit him last week. Good call

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: by you. What do you have for us this week? Well,

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: I've got another big name quarterback you should sit. But

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: if you want to find out who it is, you

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: have to stick around. What up? What up? All right?

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: Golden Tate Marcus or those high school footballow up cardboard

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: trays with Tater talks, Well, only one of those is

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: good with chutch up, but Darrell Rives could probably be

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: both of them up this week. Stick them out for more.

13
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live starts right now. Yeah, hello, everybody, Welcome

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,160

15
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: fantasy football show of the NFL, I'm James Go here

16
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: with Michael Favian of the Hall of Family as well

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: as Elliott Harrison as well. We're gonna hear from Molly

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: Carem and Marcus Grant in just a moment. But be

19
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: sure to follow us on Twitter at NFL Fantasy for

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: all the latest fantasy news and advice, but we will

21
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: begin in Washington, gentleman. The drama there continues to mount. Monday,

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: after a big loss to the Buccaneers, Redskins head coach

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: Ja Gruden said quarterback Robert Riffin the third miss deep

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: targets to de Sean Jackson, something I would agree with,

25
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: didn't have his correct dropbacks, and the list went on

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: and on Tuesday. R G three responded with a short

27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: but sweet approach with the media, saying, quote, we're focused

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: on San Francisco, Ellett, what do we make of this? Man?

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: Excuse me here, but just play football. You know, Okay,

30
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: you're you're missing your dropbacks. When you're supposed to drop

31
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: back three steps, you do one step. When you're supposed

32
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: to drop back seven steps, you do five. He does

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: this jump past, he doesn't step into his throws. If

34
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm a fantasy owner and I have Redskins offensive weapons

35
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: outside of Alfred Morris, I don't trust dead Lee Poo

36
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: right now. And that's because r G three is not

37
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: playing well. I know, by the way. To make up

38
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: for it, they have a bad matchup against the forty niners.

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: They absolutely do. There are not any forty Niners defensive

40
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: players that are looking at this matchup in fear they

41
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: like they like this matchup. R G three, is he

42
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: a guy that fantasy owners can can trust even in

43
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: a plug in play situation? We listen last week, he

44
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: had an awesome matchup and he underperformed, right, So if

45
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: the fantasy guys are cruel, which they are, will have

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: a great game against the Niners. But to me, that's

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. So I am sticking with the sit

48
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: r G three theme for weeks. And what made him

49
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: so good in twelve besides just being being able to

50
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: run fall? And how much do we see that teams

51
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: didn't have tape on him either? Yep, it seems like

52
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: they figured him out there you go thumbs down. The

53
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints will be without one of their offensive

54
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: weapons for the rest of teen. The Saints put rookie

55
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver Brandon Cooks on injured reserve Tuesday after suffering

56
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: a broke your hand in last week's contest. With Cook's gone,

57
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: who should we expect those targets to go to work?

58
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: Is there one big injury? Guys? This is a very

59
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: big injury, and I don't think it's gonna be one

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: player in particular, because someone would say, oh, it's got

61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: to be Kenny Stills. But he's a totally different player.

62
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: He's a guy who takes the top off of defense

63
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: and he's really inconsistent. Maybe something go to Marcus Colston.

64
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham is always going to be in the mix.

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: And once one of these pass catching running baskets healthy,

66
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: like a Pierre Thomas, he could see more work as

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: well as a pass catcher. I was just about to say,

68
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: you made a great point on Pierre Thomas when we

69
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: met before the show next to the candy jar where

70
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: Real Footballs discussed James. Pierre Thomas caught seventy seven balls

71
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: last year that led all NFL running backs. Would you

72
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: agree with Fab's assessment that they're two totally different players

73
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: talking about Brandon Cooks and Kenny Steals, because yes, Brandon

74
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Cooks does run a nice little inside route, but he's

75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: also a guy that takes the top off of the defense.

76
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: First of all, Brandon Cooks is smaller. He's more of

77
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: your ideal slot guy. Kenny Stills is your consummate home

78
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: run ball. So he catches that fifty yard bomb, You're

79
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: like yes, great Fantasy day. He gives you the goose

80
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: egg and want Want That's where all his production comes from.

81
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: If he's hit that home run, he's not gonna score

82
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: for it. Devree Henderson Part two exactly there you get,

83
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: there you go. All right, let's join the rest of

84
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: our fantasy crew and send it over to Molly and Marcus. Guys, gentlemen,

85
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: thank you kindly. He's the NFL dot Com fam, theaitor,

86
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, and I'm Molly Caram and it's Wednesday. You

87
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: know the deal. It's time to serve the waiver wire

88
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: for those additions and subtractions made from lineups this week,

89
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: and we begin with the most ads on NFL dot

90
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Com taking a look Jonas Gray. He's been the hot

91
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: name all week, so little Kobe Fleaner having a nice

92
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: game with his former college teammate there C. J. Anderson

93
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: obviously stepping into the spotlight with some guys banged up,

94
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: but let's get right into it. Josh Gordon returning, which

95
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: is very exciting. Speaking of C. J. Anderson, though, no hellman,

96
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: no ball, and this guy is averaging eight point to

97
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: scrimmage yards per touch over the last two weeks. Most

98
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Mr Anderson, I feel like it's like

99
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: the Matrix here. I mean, he's plenty kind of like

100
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: he's been in the matrix. He's been able to avoid

101
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: the fenders. He's getting the ball all sorts of ways.

102
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: As a running back, we see Peyton Manny dumping it

103
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: off to him, and he had this fantastic touchdown run

104
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: against the Raiders where he ran over around and threw

105
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: pretty much everybody in a silver and black uniform. The

106
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: Broncos have been plugged and play with the running backs

107
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: and whoever it's been, you've been able to get decent

108
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: production at of him at meaning except for Monte Ball.

109
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: But as long as C. J. Anderson's there, I trust

110
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: this guy. I'm rolling with him. I might have to

111
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: pick him up, provided I haven't gotten first. Oh, Alex

112
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: go Ben, I gotta get rid of him. All right,

113
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: let's move on here. Jordan Matthews, it seems like Mark

114
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: Sanchez and Jordan Matthews really have nice chemistry for receiving

115
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: tds in the last three weeks. You might have heard

116
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: this before. It's the year of the rookie wide receiver.

117
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: I might have said that once or twenty times. Who knows,

118
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: but Jordan Matthews was a guy I liked it a

119
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: deep sleeper early in the year, and he was a

120
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: guy I said, because he can play in the slot,

121
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: because he can play out wide, I thought he'd be

122
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: a good option for Philadelphia. Now with Mark Sanchez and quarterback,

123
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: these two seem to be connecting very, very well. Matthews

124
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: has surpassed Riley Cooper, is the number two passing option

125
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: in that offense, and he's she's creeping up on Jeremy

126
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: Maclin right now. So plug him in your lineup, play

127
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: him as a fleet I think there's some good things

128
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: in the office. Your guy, Mark Sanchez, fight on, fight

129
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: on Trojans. All right, let's move to Trey Mason. There

130
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: twenty nine Russia attempts versus the Broncos will back continue

131
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: moving forward against San Diego this week. Yeah, the number

132
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: might not be quite as high, but he's going to

133
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: get the ball. At this point, we determined he is

134
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 1: the guy in the backfield. No more Zach Stacy, Benny

135
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: Cunningham isn't much of a threat. The Rams are going

136
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: to figure out what they have with this good young

137
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: running back from Auburn. Mason fantastic pickup. Plus, you know,

138
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: anytime I can you know somehow work in a day

139
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: less soul reference. I'm all about that plug four. Give

140
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: him about it, all right? Those are the trendy guys

141
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: that everyone's picking up now that the guys who are

142
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: being kicked to the curb. Here's a look at the

143
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: most dropped players in Fantasy and what's up go through here?

144
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: Almad Bradshaw. Obviously he's injured. He's done for the season,

145
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: unfortunately bent tap but by to him Ronnie we know,

146
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: suspended for the season. So let's go back to that

147
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: match up we were just talking about there with the

148
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: Rams and Indigo. Ryan Matthews is back. So a lot

149
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: of people are letting Brandon Oliver though he's only had

150
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: eight Fantasy points and four straight games. Is this the

151
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,559
Speaker 1: right call? Well, I mean, if you're in a deeper league,

152
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: there's still some room for you to have Brandon Oliver

153
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: because he's going to play that Danny woodhead role where

154
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: he catches passes out of the backfield. He's a third

155
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: down guy. We saw Oliver and Matthew split Kerry's last week,

156
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: but that's not going to continue. Matthews is going to

157
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: be the guy. But if you need some help at

158
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: a flex spot, if you're shorthanded on any particular league,

159
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Oliver could still be a flex option for you,

160
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: just because I think he's not going to completely disappear

161
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: from the offense. And as we mentioned, Kobe Fleaner had

162
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: a huge game there for Indie and Joyanne Allen leaving

163
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: the game in the second quarter versus the Patriots with

164
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: an ankle, yeah, he did, And but I think it's

165
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: it's not going to be a long term injury. Kobe

166
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: Fleaner is the guy while Alan is out. But I

167
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: have been professing my fantasy man trish on Duyane Allen

168
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,559
Speaker 1: all year long. And you know, just because somebody didn't

169
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: call to say good night, you don't just break up

170
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: with him. But let's not just uh night, never mind,

171
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: don't quit on him just yet. There's still a lot

172
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: of life to be had with this guy. Yeah, and

173
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: regardless of who it is this week, they have a

174
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: nice match up against the Jaguars there, that Indianapolis team.

175
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on here to Mark Tavis Brian.

176
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: He was another hot name we were talking about, but

177
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: he had a career low in receiving yards versus the

178
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Titans just eleven, but too soon to get rid of him, absolutely,

179
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: because that career low is basically what six games from

180
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Martinos Brian in a situation where one bad game does

181
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: not completely discredit what this guy can do for you. Plus,

182
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: you see the Ben Roethlisberger was going towards Brian and

183
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: the end zone on a couple of occasions. They just

184
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: weren't able to connect. So it's not as though he's

185
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: suddenly dropped out of what the Steelers do in the

186
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: passing game. It just happened to be in off week.

187
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: Don't quit on, Martmos product. I did rookie receivers get

188
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: so good in fantasy this year? It's also confusing, Marcus,

189
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: Thank you for making sense of all good stuff. All right,

190
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: be sure to set your DVRs for our night capetition

191

Speaker 1: of NFL Fantasy Live. Marcus and I have your back.

192
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: We'll keep you up to speed on the latest injury

193
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: news and update your roster. That is at two am

194
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: Eastern eleven pm Pacific, right here on NFL Network. So

195
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: that's a late night for us. What's going on with

196
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and Lashawn McCoy, is it time to find

197
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: a permanent spot for Kaepernick on your bench. There's a

198
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: few players that were scratching our heads about, and we'll

199
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: discuss them next. And we're talking about players that have

200
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: some pretty good matchups but might not be the best

201
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: of fantasy talents. Find out who might be good plug

202
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: and play guys. For Week twelve, he defined intimidation. I

203
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: don't like people when I'm playing against them. But his

204
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: success came with the ultimate price. He made a deal

205
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: with the devil, and it was time for the devil

206
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: to collect lyle Alzado a football life Friday at nine

207
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: pm Eastern only on NFL Network and welcome back to

208
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. Uh that that program. Uh, it's just fantastic.

209
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: It is it is. You gotta set aside your little

210
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: hour there to watch that show. In Zado is one

211
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: of the most unique dudes in the history of pro

212
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: foo By strongly encourage people to watch that. There's nobody

213
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: like him or his story in the history and not

214
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: a huge name in terms of the football community, but

215
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: a very interesting story. Absolutely. All right, So let's talk

216
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: about some fantasy head scratchers, players or situations that are

217
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: befuddling many a fantasy manager. What the hell's going on

218
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: out here? I don't think you could have said it better.

219
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: All right, so let's talk about We'll start up the

220
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: quarterback position first though. Let's talk about Philip Rivers, a

221
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: guy who at the early part of the season was

222
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: quite frankly on an m v P pace, as you've mentioned, Elliott,

223
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: but recently I've retracted that recently not so good. I mean,

224
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: you see the passing yards down, the turnover's way up,

225
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: the touchdowns way down. You know, here's the thing, the

226
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: long ball has absolutely disappeared for the charges. How do

227
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: you explain all this? It's tough to explain, but I

228
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: would start with the offensive line. They're not really getting

229
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: a running game going now. Ryan Matthews being back may

230
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: mitigate some of this guy's And I still think Philip

231
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: Rivers is an outstanding player. I think this is Morning

232
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: Dietmont of the team. And I would say the same

233
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: thing about Mark Sanchez. I don't think he put it

234
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: all on the quarterback. Uh So, expectations moving forward again.

235
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: First half of the year, fabs, We're talking about a

236
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 1: guy who was in the top five. Now he's all

237
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden almost out of the top ten just

238
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: two weeks later. What do we make of Philip Roof.

239
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: He's a matchup based starter now to me, And honestly,

240
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: he had broken that mold earlier in the year when

241
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: he was just so red hot he couldn't keep it up,

242
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: and this week he's playing the Rams. The Rams last

243
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: week made Peyton Manning look mortal. Didn't even score fifteen

244
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Fantasy points in that game. And I wonder if Rivers

245
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: isn't healthy. We heard Antonio Gates say he had a

246
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: riv issue and then his coach said, well, no, he's

247
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: fine if I have an alternative like Josh McCown this week,

248
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: and I said this last week, I'm benching Rivers very quickly. Marcus,

249
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: does this mean bad things for guys like Antonio Gates,

250
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: Malcolm Floyd, Keenan, Now, well, I think it certainly means

251
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: some bad things for Malcolm Floyd. He you talk about

252
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: the deep ball being gone, that was that was the

253
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: good part. There was Malcolm Floyd and he has a

254
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: been able to produce that. Keenan, Allen's getting a ton

255
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: of targets, but he's become just a possession receiver. He's

256
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: that guy when you need seven yards on third down.

257
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: That's the guy they're going to. I think Antonio Gates

258
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: is still gonna be Gates. I mean, those two have

259
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: been the best QB tight end Well you've ever seen

260
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: you He's gonna move on. Gotta go. We gotta move

261
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: on another quarterback that has been frustrating to own. How

262
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: about Colin Kaepernick? This is uh, you know, I think

263
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: a lot was expected out of Colin Kaepernick. You know

264
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: a lot of comparisons I think maybe to Russell Wilson.

265
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look back at his numbers from

266
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: compared to team, everything actually kind of sort of looks okay.

267
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: The passing yards are up, the passing touchdowns down. Not great,

268
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: but he's running the ball slightly more this year than

269
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: he was last year. Unfortunately, not productive with it at all.

270
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: What do we make of Colin Kaepernick? Can he be

271
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: I know this is gonna sound crazy, but can he

272
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: be a top five guy on the back half or

273
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: excuse me the last quarter of this season? I don't

274
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: know about top five, but I still think top ten

275
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: at the end of the top ten. If you look

276
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: at some of the games, he's had some bad luck. Okay,

277
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: he fumbled at the goal line and we'll just score

278
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown. That's an eight point fantasy swing. I remember

279
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: two inks. It is one where an Kin Bolden dropped

280
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: the touchdown pass I was right in his hands. Another

281
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: one where Michael Crabtree dropped the touchdown pass. So he

282
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: hasn't been playing that bad at all, and he's not

283
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: turning the ball over, and I would still say stardom,

284
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: especially against Washington, who has been awful against the past.

285
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: You know, the one thing that has surprised when we

286
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: looked at those numbers is that he is actually running

287
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: the ball more per game, because just to watch him,

288
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like it at all. He's not getting

289
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: out of the right he hasn't been the threat with

290
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: his legs that we've seen in the past, and that

291
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: has been what boy his fantasy value. The fact that

292
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: maybe he only throws for a couple hundred yards, but

293
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: he'll run for another sixty or seventy yards and maybe

294
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: getting the end zone. So I'm a little bit surprised

295
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: by that, but I'm with Fads. Look, the matchups have

296
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: been working out for him. You plug him in and

297
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: you hope for better things. Yeah, it's almost like we're

298
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: trying to jump in onto Apparently, you guys just Heather

299
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: Pink when she needs us to wrap pays. Let's talk

300
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: about Leshawn McCoy. He hasn't been terrible, he just hasn't

301
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: lived up to expectations. He's currently sixteenth highest scoring running

302
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: back Ellcott. What do we expect out of Leshawn McCoy

303
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: moving forward, Well, maybe our expectations are a little high.

304
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: Look at the week six six to eleven there scrimmage

305
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: jars ninety one point two isn't bad, guys. The biggest

306
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: indictment of Leshawn McCoy is not Leshawn McCoy, is the

307
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: fact that the Eagles offensive line. We don't talk about

308
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: offensive lines on Fantasy Live very much. It fell apart.

309
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: Evan Mathis got hurt, Jason Kelsey got hurt. Oh, by

310
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: the way, those are two Pro Bowl players inside. When

311
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: they came back, obviously his numbers went up. I would

312
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: not recommend sitting Leshawn McCoy. That said, I got a

313
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: tweet about somebody saying, hey, should I avoid waiver wire

314
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: gyms because I have Leshawn mccoyre should I pick him up?

315
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: Pick him up? Anyway? So your opponent can't get wire, guys,

316
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: but you're going to go off this week. I promise

317
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: you right now, he's going to have the best game

318
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: he's had all season long. From a fantasy perspective, the

319
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans run defense stinks. Just asked Levy, I'm just

320
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: matter him getting in the zone. I mean here, touchdowns

321
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: this year. Be a touchdown maker like he was in

322
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: the past. Has Darren Sprawls and all these other guys,

323
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews? Are they just eating into his productive out there.

324
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something weird, like I wish Andy Reid

325
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: was back to throw in that little shovel past at

326
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: the three yard line. Where is that very good point?

327
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: All right, listen, Cleveland? We got Cleveland has been a

328
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: constant source of fantasy head scratching. On Sunday, the Browns

329
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: named Isaiah crow Well their starter for the first time

330
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: all season. Then out of nowhere, they released Ben Tate

331
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. All right, you look at Ben Tate's production

332
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: touches per game. That's the big one to me. Four

333
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: teen touches per game that goes by by that's gonna

334
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: be split somewhere between Isaiah crow Well and Terence West.

335
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: Marcus will start with you, Um, do you like the

336
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: crow to be set free or or is this a

337
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: Terence West back? Well? I do like I do like

338
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: Crow to get a lot of touches. The problem is,

339
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: and we've talked about this during the week on the show,

340
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: that he puts the ball on the ground, so that

341
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: always makes it a risk for him to be in there.

342
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: But in terms of the way he's running the football,

343
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: he's running hard, he's hitting the holes and the brands,

344
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: I think I think they're smarter to lead with the run.

345
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: Whether it's pro Well or West, they need to run

346
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: the football. Pro has been the better of him as

347
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: long as he can hold on the ball. This has

348
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: become a very confusing backfield. Uh and now it's now

349
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: it's a less confusing back up, but still confusing. And

350
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: I think crow Well and West are both flex starts

351
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: this week against Atlanta because their run defense is so bad.

352
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: But at least it's not a three headed monster only

353
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: more it's this is a definition of a matchup based

354
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: play in your favor. Is it even worth it to

355
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: chase these guys? Well? I mean, if you're going talking

356
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: about one week start, absolutely what dost Atlantis, Atlanta. Come on,

357
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: all right, there you go, hit that Vince Lambarba satisfa

358
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: the highest scoring wide receiver of the last two weeks.

359
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: Not Jordy, not Marshall, not Tim Marius or Megatron. It

360
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: is this man, Mike Evans, who has absolutely exploded onto

361
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: the scene as of late. I mean, just take a

362
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: look at his production weeks not through eleven five touchdow

363
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: tony five points per game from Mike Evans. I mean,

364
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: he can't keep this up. Canny maybe not, I but

365
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: I love the matchup against the Chicago Bears. And people

366
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: are annointing Kyle Fuller as the next Dion Sanders back

367
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: in September. That hasn't panned out. Jim Jennings the other corner,

368
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: I think Mike Evans could have another hundred yard day.

369
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: You know that Josh McCown is gonna want to play

370
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: his best ball in front of the Chicago Bears coaching

371
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: staff who let him walk to Tampa Bay in the

372
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: off season. I just want to say one little thing here, though,

373
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: Everyone that's annointing this guy the offensive rookie of the year,

374
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: fair in minding plays for a two and eight team.

375
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: You know, I just don't always see it that way.

376
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: Just because the guy has great production, it doesn't mean

377
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: the rookie of the year. How dare you talk about

378
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: real life of football? And sorry, yeah, I mean but

379
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: what you love about the guy is the fact that

380
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: he uses his size. And that was one of the

381
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: things I know Matt money Smith asked him when he

382
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: was on the show earlier this week. He's a big

383
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: six five guy, and he plays like not those six

384
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: five guys who kind of shrink in contract. He goes

385
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: and gets the football at the high point. If you're

386
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 1: Josh McCown, you gotta feel confident. Just throw it up,

387
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: let your man go get It's no coincidence that Evans

388
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: is playing so well. McCown's value is now rising as

389
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: a guy that I would play in the top ten

390
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: this week. Wow. Interesting stuff, all right, good stuff On

391

397
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: a list that includes Yes, Calvin Johnson. If you followed

398
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: the show at all, you know Wednesday is the day

399
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: all this show, It's the day Michael Fabiano releases the

400
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: beast known as his starts in sidems starter, said al

401
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: shon Jeffrey Fabbs. Tell you coming up. Hello again. This

402
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: is NFL Fantasy Live and we've got a full slate

403
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: of games in store for us for a week twelve.

404
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: So here's the deal. We're gonna highlight some good players

405
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: with bad matchups as we begin with you and Russell Wilson,

406
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: who's facing one of the hottest defenses in football. Gave

407
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: Stafford in the lines of trouble last week. Yeah, and

408
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: I swung and missed on Russell Wilson last week. He

409
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: had a really bad matchup against the Chiefs and still

410
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: played well. But you guys know me, I'm all about

411
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: the trends, and his trend at home against Arizona way no.

412
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: In two career games at home against the Cardinals, he

413
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: has two fifty six passing yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.

414
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: That's not the average. That's combined the Cardinals have also

415
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: allowed these second fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks over the

416
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: last two weeks. So if you do start Russell Wilson, well,

417
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: you might want to temper your expectations. Elliott. Yeah, a

418
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: hot name right now. Jonas Gray suddenly on everyone's radar,

419
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: but he's facing a very stingy Detroit. Yeah. I was

420
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: just about to say, so Jonas Gray fabs. What's Detroit

421
00:19:55,320 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: really good at defense? Particularly run? You betch us You

422
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: might have heard by now that Jonas Gray had a

423
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: little stack correction that took him from one yards rushing.

424
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: That may happen again this week. He might get taken

425
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: from forty four yards rushing, and so hold your breath

426
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: for that one. But I don't like this match up

427
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: at all. Andrea Ellington couldn't do anything against that Lions front.

428
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: I think Jonas Gray is going to get a fraction

429
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: of what he got lines allowed one rush TV in

430
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: six games. We stay in that matchup where arguably the

431
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: best receiver in football, Calvin Johnson, could he get pedestrian

432
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: numbers against Belichick in the past, Ye absolutely could this

433
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: week And you never really know how Bill Belichick is

434
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: going to scheme defensively. But I'll tell you this, I

435
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: would be very surprised if we don't see a lot

436
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: of double coverage on Calvin Johnson this week. The Patriots

437
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 1: will allowed the third fewest fantasy points this season too

438
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: wide receivers. On top of it, we saw what they

439
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: did last week against the Culture. They were very physical

440
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: with those wide receivers, and I expect they're gonna be

441
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: up on Golden Tate, up on Calvin Johnson. They can

442
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: really tough for those guys to release off the line

443
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: of Scrimma. All right, let's go to the opposite side

444
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: for a second guy. So we cover all our bases

445
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: which average players have good matchups in Week twelve, and

446
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: we begin in Cleveland. In that backfield, Bent takes out

447
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: Isaiah crow Well, maybe a nice play this week against Atlanta.

448
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: They're generous back a very good play, and Isaiah Crowe

449
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: is the guy that we were all rushing to pick

450
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: up off the waiver wire. I was actually on the

451
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: show Sunday trying to get on it and pick came up.

452
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: So the the Brownze backfield has gone from really really

453
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: confusing to just really confusing. Because Terence West could see

454
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: the carries, it could be Isaiah Crowell. But regardless, Atlanta

455
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: has been awful against the run, giving up the second

456
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: most fantasy points of running backs this year. So I

457
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: would argue you can start crow Well as a flex

458
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: and West as it flex as well, and with Ben

459
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,719
Speaker 1: take no longer in the mix. At least it's not

460
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: a three headed monster. It's only a two headed monster. Yeah.

461
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: I need to deal with that because I have been

462
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: taken in two weeks, Um Elliott Ja Color had a

463
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: nice bounce back game last week, A chance to make

464
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: a two solid performances in a row. It's Tampa Bay.

465
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, maybe this part of this

466
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: feeling Yeah, exactly, Market you sound confident, it doesn't. This

467
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,239
Speaker 1: feels like Rocky five to me. You know you got

468
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: all excited when stallone beat up Tommy Morrison in the street,

469
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: but you knew the movie was doomed. I mean, it

470
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: was terrible from start to it was you're just looking

471
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: for highlights. I feel like that's the Bears teen season

472
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: and nutsget Molly. I know I see you nod in

473
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: your head. I know you know the analogy for sure.

474
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 1: That said, I do like the Bears matchup against Tampa Bay.

475
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: Maybe they're gonna try to salvage their season. If you're

476
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: desperate at quarterback, then play Jay Cover. I appreciate a

477
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: good analogy there, Marcus. Vincent Jackson has zero tts in

478
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: six straight games. Cannot change this week against Chicago. First off,

479
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how to follow a Rocky five reference

480
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: to begin with, but yeah, it could change this week.

481
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that Mike Evidence has bawled out

482
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. He's been fantastic, and Jackson has

483
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: kind of become a little bit of an afterthought, but

484
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: he's still seeing a lot of targets. He just hasn't

485
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: made a lot of big plays, especially down the field.

486
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: But the Bear secondary has been awful and they've been

487
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: beat up. We haven't played very well. So this could

488
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: be a such wation where you've got Josh McCown throwing

489
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: the alley to both Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson, and

490
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: maybe he pulls one down in the painted area this weekend. Yeah,

491
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: the Bears allow twelve receiving tds over the last three weeks.

492
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: That is in the NFL. Very bad Vincent Jackson for

493
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: Greg Olson. I mean, Marcus is talking about Vincent Jackson

494
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: being a good I don't want any partner. If you

495
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: don't want he's not even on a team. Do you want?

496
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: See that's what you guys do, all right? You know

521
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: So let's put two minutes on the clock. Gentlemen, you

522
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: know the deal. We're gonna rip through as many Fantasy

523
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: Genius questions as we can. All you read it, alright,

524
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: Better start Tommy Brady versus the Lions or Drew Brees

525
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: against the Ravens. I like Tom Brady against the number

526
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: one defensive league. He's hot and he's at home. That's

527
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: a bold call there, Drew Brees, He's at home against

528
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: a Raven secondary that's been trusting Brees. Alright. Better at

529
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: Kenny brit Er. Jonas Gray. That's such a weird question,

530
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say Jonas Gray for the future, and

531
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: I think he's the guy who runs between the tackles.

532
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: He's not gonna have two hundred yards, maybe not this week,

533
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: but moving forward past that, you better start Mohammed's a

534
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: new against the Texans or Jordan Matthew against the Titans.

535
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm going Jordan Matthews. I think he and Sanchez have

536
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: a good thing going, right. I like him better than

537
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: Mike Evans going forward. Sanchez to Matthews. That was bold there,

538
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: my friend? Who will be the highest scoring player in

539
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: Week twelve? I'm going Rob Gronkowski. I am against again

540
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: the number one defensive Like you wanted me to be

541
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: bold all the time, So here you go, Rob, not trade.

542
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to go bold with Andrew Luck. Is that

543
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: that really bold? I love this? I got both of

544
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: the Harvard against the Bills, or Mike Wallace against the Broncos.

545
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: Anybody not named Percy harm And I would have taken

546
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: in this. I'm taking person. Look he gets handoffs in

547
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: these snowpocalyps up there in Buffalo. Yeah, two carries for

548
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: three yards? That a split decision? All right? Who to

549
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: start Andre Ellington against the Seahawks? Are Ryan Matthews against

550
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: the Rams? I'm not in love with either, but the

551
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: Rams front four has been playing better in a pass

552
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: rush since, not necessarily against the run. I'll take Ryan Matthews. Yeah,

553
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: I think I'm sitting Andre Ellington this week, especially because

554
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: in Seattle against the Seahawks, it's good to see Matthews back.

555
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: Better start the Bills defense against the Jets or the

556
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense against the Raiders. I'm taking the Chiefs defense.

557
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: But I really I like both of these matchups, and

558
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: I have them both on two fantasy teams, so I

559
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: can make that decision myself. Yeah, I'm going I'm going

560
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: with the Chefs. Man. I saw Derek Carr running for

561
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: his life a lot less great googly. Who's gonna be

562
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: the biggest disappointment in Week twelve. I feel terrible asking

563
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: I know it's all good because I'm gonna go with

564
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: Kansas City offense. I think people think against the Raiders

565
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: that are gonna blow up. Raiders defense has been playing

566
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: a lot better. I'm gonna go with Golden's hate. I

567
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: think the he gets locked down this week. Maybe maybe

568
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: we got through them Islent anymore, were like Rivas Peninsula.

569
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: Al Right, excellent, that is our two minute drill. Let's

570
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: get to some sleepers before we out of here and

571
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: we send it over to Adam Rink for that Adam, Oh, hey,

572
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: thanks Molly. Every week on NFL dot Com, I give

573
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: you eleven is sleepers who can help you win your

574
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: fantasy matchup. Right now, I'm gonna give you three because

575
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm that kind of guy. And we started the quarterback position.

576
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: Remember last week when I said you should go with

577
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: Josh McCown, Well, same goes double this week too. Is

578
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: he heads back to Chicago, but more importantly, it's Lovey

579
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: Smith's return to Chicago. Pardon the pun, but players love

580
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: to play for Smith. They know how important this game

581
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: is for him. So I expect a huge effort from

582
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: all the Bucks. And it starts with mccount and his

583
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: best friend Mike Evans, who will become the Danny Ocean

584
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: and Rusty Ryan of the Bucks. Guess I'm sure it's right,

585
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: Like you don't think I would look that up? Of course,

586
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: it's right, all right. Let's move on to the running

587
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: back position and the Colts. Dan Harry, do you live

588
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: in a fantasy world where C. J. Anderson and Trey

589
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: Mason are available to you, then please, I implore you

590
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: seek out those options. But if he needs some deep

591
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: help take a look at Herron Boom is the new

592
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: number two in Indianapolis. So who is number one? Well,

593
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: number one would be Trent Richardson, and when Richardson is

594
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: in front of you, it's only a matter of time

595
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: before you're the new number one. He was great in

596
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: training camp, he had a great matchup this week, so

597
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: go ahead and start him. And finally let's move on

598
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: to receiver and Kenny Stills. Trying to figure out which

599
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: Saints receiver to play is a kin to trying to

600
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: choose your favorite Malloy brother, you know, the Mormon Twins.

601
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: It's nearly impossible, but there should be some clarity this week.

602
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is out with an injury, which should need

603
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: more targets for Skills, who had a nice game against

604
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals on Sunday. The match up against the Ravens

605
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: is pretty good. And look, I can't tell the future.

606
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: I pay people to do that for me, and even

607
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: they get it wrong sometimes. But Stills is a guy

608
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 1: who is gonna get his opportunities, and that's pretty much

609
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: all you can ask more. In Look, we all go

610
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: way back, and I ow you from the thing with

611
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: the guy in the place, and I'll never forget it.

612
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: So if you need more sleepers, go to NFL dot

613
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: com slash Ranks eleven. I'll see you when I see

614
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: see on the flip side rank. Sammy Watkins had a

615
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: rough last two outings. Is this the new trend? Or

616
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: will he get back on track? That and more wide

617
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,719
Speaker 1: receiver starts and sits are next, and we'll Josh Jordan

618

Speaker 1: take Atlanta by storm in week twelve? Can you trust

Speaker 1: Tony Ronol? From now on, we're spinning the top fantasy

620
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: trends here on NFL Fantasy Live gets around. I want

621
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: every funny Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. It's time

622
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: now for the fabulous one, the Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano,

623
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: to unveil a partial look at his weekly starts and

624
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: sits for the week. The full list can be found

625
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: by going to the website NFL dot com slash Starts sit.

626
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: It's one of the most read articles in all of fantasy. Alright,

627
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: Fab's gonna start us though, talk to us about running backs.

628
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: Let's start off with Shoot Lace, who was a quarterback

629
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: and now he's a running back, and now he's a

630
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: really good running back from a fantasy perspective. He has

631
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: eleven plus fantasy points in each of his last four games.

632
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: I like the matchup this week against the Colts. They

633
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: have allowed the third most fantasy points to running backs

634
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: on their home field. And oh, by the way, that

635
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: you see what Jonas Gray than did this run defense

636
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: last week, So Shoe Lace is a very solid start.

637
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: A player who is not a solid start Alfred Morris,

638
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of people. I have to play Morris

639
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: because he's been one of the fifteen best running backs

640
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 1: in fantasy, but beware, Thets have a lot of these

641
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: second fewest fantasy points of running backs this year, giving

642
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: up an average of about twelve points per game over

643
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: the last four weeks. That's really really good. And Morris

644
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: has been much better at home than he's been on

645
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: the road. So if you start them, temper your expectations.

646
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't like this matchup. And finally, Lamar Miller and

647
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller is someone that I've been saying to bench

648
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. He's a little bit

649
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: banged up and this is not a good matchup against

650
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos. They have allowed sixty five plus rush yards

651
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: just once on their home field this year. They've also

652
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: given up zero rushing touchdowns in six straight games. So

653
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller is a risk by friends. So you're telling

654
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: me that Shoelace won't be tied up by the indie defense.

655
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: See what you did there? Now he will be free

656
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: to roam. I like it, all right. Let's say you

657
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: look at the rest of your start and sit list. Here.

658
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: C J. Anderson has started against Miami, which I think

659
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a surprise. Miami has been

660
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: very good defensively. This is a volume start. The matchup

661
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: is not good, all right. And then on the sittam side,

662
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 1: Jonas Gray, following his two hundred yard performance facing that

663
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: very tough Detroit defensive line also on the sit list

664
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: to go along with Fred Jackson. All right. Wide receivers

665
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: now al Shan Jeffrey Man. Listen, he's been very up

666
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: and down this season, but I figured he's got to

667
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: be a must start against Tampa. Right, very good start.

668
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: Last week we saw outside Jeffrey put up a big

669
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: number against the Minnesota Vikings. I say he does it

670
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: again against the Buccaneers. They have allowed the third most

671
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: fantasy points to wide receivers this year. Giving up an

672
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: average of over twenty six per game. They've also allowed

673
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: eleven touchdown catches on the road. Alshon, Jeffrey, Brandon Marshall,

674
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: j Color, Matt Forte, start them all, Martelli Spennett, and

675
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: maybe not so much a wide receiver that I start

676
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: this week alongside al Sean Sammy watching. There you go.

677
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: He's had a couple of bad games in a row.

678
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: But this is the Jets we're talking about. The Jets

679
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: have allowed three receiving touchdowns in three or four road

680
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: games this year. They've also allowed the ninth most fantasy

681
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: points to wide receivers, and in his last game against

682
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: New York, he dominated them a hundred fifty seven yards

683
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: in the touch on. Just keep tabs on the weather

684
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: there because they've had about twenty ft of snow in Buzzalo,

685
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: A player that I'm sitting at wide receiver and Ray Johnson.

686
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: But this is only in standard leagues. In PPR leagues,

687
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: I think you can play them. One receiving touchdown in

688
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: his last sevent teen games, fewer than a hundred receiving

689
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: yards in thirteen straight games. The Bengals have allowed the

690
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: third fewest fantasy points on the road to wide receivers.

691
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: They're really bad against the run, but they have been

692
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: good against wide receivers. So again, wide receivers start Andre

693
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: Johnson PPR league only, Standard league. I keep him on

694
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: the bench. I love him in a PPR format. Ryan

695
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: matally seemed to have a nice little chemistry, especially early

696
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: on with Andre j leagues. He only scored six points exactly,

697
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: which is crazy, but but yes, we will see if

698
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: that chemistry continues in week twelve. Are the rest of

699
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: your start and sits at the wide receiver position. You

700
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: see Kenny Britt despite his huge performance he had in

701
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: week eleven, a week twelve sit Fitzgerald. Yes, absolutely, Larry Fitzgerald.

702
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: He's got that knee injury, so and plus he's going

703
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: up to Seattle. Doesn't surprise me to sit here. Berre

704
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: Gar Song has done absolutely. There is an a PV

705
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: out for him, yes, because he has disappeared. Quarterbacks now,

706
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has been okay, not great all year, kind

707
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: of flirting with that top ten expectations. But what are

708
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: your expectations for him this week? Well, the rule is

709
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: when Matt Ryan is on the road, very shaky. When

710
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: he's at home, you play him with a little bit

711
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: more confidence in this week. That's why I like Matt Ryan.

712
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: He's averaged over three hundred passing yards and two touchdowns

713
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: in four home games this year. And here's one of

714
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 1: these crazy stats that I love, James. He has twenty

715
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: two touchdown passes in his last ten home games against

716
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: the a f C. They're playing the Browns. Browns a

717
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: f C team. I like this matchup. The Bronze are

718
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: much better at home than they are on the road,

719
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: So start Matt Ryan this week with confidence. Another player

720
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: that I'm starting this week is Eli Manning, and no,

721
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: I haven't been taking the funny pills. I know that

722
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: he got picked off about twenty times last week by

723
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: the Niners, but he plays well against the Cowboys. In fact,

724
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: eight seventy two yards nine touchdowns in his last three

725
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: games against Dallas. He had over twenty three fantasy points

726
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: against him in Week seven, and he only has one

727
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 1: or fewer interceptions in six of his last seven games

728
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: against Dallas. I should start Romo and I start Eli

729
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: this week as well. A quarterback that I'm sitting Philip Rivers.

730
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: I'm jumping off the bandwagons. Last week. I told people

731
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: to bench him I'm saying benjam again this week. The

732
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: Rams helped Peyton Manning too fewer than fifteen Fantasy points

733
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: last week. They have a lot of these second fewest

734
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: touchdown passes in the last four weeks, and Rivers may

735
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: or may not be dealing with some sort of injury.

736
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: So that's what scares think he's a risk. That's that's

737
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: what scares me. And you know the Rams defense man,

738
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they've really really come on after

739
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: a very very slow started rushing the passer with a

740
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: lot more successfully. Absolutely. All right, let's take a look

741
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: at the rest of your starts and sits at the

742
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: quarterback position. No surprise, following his huge performance, Jake Cutler

743
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: back in the starting graces to go along with Tony

744
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: Romo as you mentioned, sid him, Robert Griffin, the third,

745
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, and Russell Wilson against Arizona. Tough matchup. Like

746
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: I said, he's not good at home against Arizona. All right.

747

Speaker 1: of Josh Gordon returning has been buzzing for weeks. Guys.

764
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: He finally takes the field Sunday, and his offensive coordinator,

765
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan had this to say about it. I haven't

766
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: seen him out on the field since training camp, so

767
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: we'll have to see where he's at physically and everything.

768
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: We'll try to get him in there and as soon

769
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: as he's ready to go, will make sure to work

770
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: to get him the ball with that being said Elliott,

771
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: welcome to you first, my friend, what are your expectations

772
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: for Josh Gordon? Pretty dog on good. Some people have

773
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: been hanging onto him. This guy's a professional athlete. He's

774
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: been working out and training on his own, for sure.

775
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: But here's the other thing. What a matchup are you? Kid? Me?

776
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: Come back against Atlanta Falcon? Sure? If I were Josh

777
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: Gordon and I was hanging out in October and somebody said, hey, man,

778
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 1: you get to return against any team in the league

779
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: you want. Yeah, I'm playing in the Dome where there's

780
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: no weather, you know, against Atlanta. Sounds good to me.

781
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: Sign me up. He is a guy that I am

782
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: putting into my lineup. I have held him for eleven weeks.

783
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: You're one of those in a lot of leagues and

784
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: a long time to hold a player. Jeff Darlington actually

785
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: just tweeted out a photo of Josh Gordon. He was

786
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: so fast, he was like a blurred everything else practice.

787
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm starting out. It was the last time we were

788
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: just excited about a Cleveland That's right. I am not

789
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,439
Speaker 1: quite as excited as you guys, And I think he'll

790
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: be fine. I don't think he's just gonna be gangbusters

791
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: like he was last year. I think you, first off,

792
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: there's an issue of timing and chemistry. Having missed the

793
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: whole season where Andrew Hawkins has stepped in, had been

794
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: a really good receiver for the Cleveland Browns. I think

795
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: this this week they maybe trying to force him the

796
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: ball a little bit. I think he gives you just

797
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: some mediocre number. Yeah, I've been a guy who again facts,

798
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: I know you've been super high. I've been on the

799
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: other end. I just don't think that for eleven weeks.

800
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: It's very hard to hold a guy. You're passing on

801
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: other guys like Martavis Bryant. Perhaps maybe you're passing on

802
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: other on other wide receivers, running backs. Even that could

803
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: have helped your squad throughout this time. But if you've

804
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: got the line of that, you have, Yeah, where the

805
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: magical season here? Who's jumping on board a guy who

806
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: had a magical scene. I haven't jumped on board. I've

807
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: been on board all eleven weeks. You know who's been season.

808
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray. Cowboy fans had a big scare this season, though,

809
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: when quarterback Tony Romo reinjured his back during Week eight

810
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: he came back crushed it against the Jads. His stats.

811
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: We're gonna stay with the Dallas contingent over here in

812
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: Elliot Harrison and Michael Fabiana. But is Tony Romo guy

813
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: that you could trust pretty much untill season's end, no

814
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: question about it. In fact, that to trade for him

815
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: because the schedule lines up so well for Tony Romo

816
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: over the rest of the season. He didn't look too

817
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: injured in London when he went off against the Jacksonville Jaguars,

818
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: who don't have a terrible pass rush. And the matchups

819
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: are so good, the Giants, the Eagles, the Red Skids,

820
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: come on, He's just some of the worst past defenses

821
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: in the National Football Lake. And I'm not just saying

822
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: this because I'm a Cowboys homer, which i am, but

823
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: Romo has got great matchups down the stretch. I thought

824
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: you were just saying it because the graphic came. Look

825
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: at your readers, Mr stati Matic. I mean what about

826
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: his trend of being bad in December? I mean big,

827
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: I think I would say this last year he was

828
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: very good in December. I'm not going to discount that.

829
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: But historically it's a guy who has struggled down. That's

830
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: or wins and losses. I'm on that. Now. You're shocking

831
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: me if the Cowboy's winner losing December, doesn't I think

832
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 1: two from Romo in December is what he's been every

833
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 1: other month, is that he's a match up based guy.

834
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: You play him against the right team. Let men make

835
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: a complex fantasy point here. What slows down a pass

836
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: rush more than handing the ball off to a stud tailback? Nothing?

837
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: Nothing slows down a pass because right you gotta hesitation.

838
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: You're worried about that dr play, which means Romo is

839
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: not gonna get hit that much. That Cowboys offensive line

840
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: has been awesome, so I'm not worried about Tony Romo.

841
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: Earlier in the show, you were pitching for Zach Martin

842
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: to be offensive root. I think I think he is

843
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: offensive Rookie of the Year for a two and eight

844
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: team or for a seven and three team. Remember when

845
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: we all thought the Cowboys were nuts for drafting all

846
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: those offensive and we thought, well, that's very good, and

847
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: also thought the Dallas defense was gonna be horrible. They

848
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: have not been. It seems like a while ago when

849
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: Truck Richardson was once the full time back in Cleveland.

850
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: Mod Bradshaw went down with an injury this week will

851
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: not return. Let's take a look at what these two

852
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 1: backs have done this season, and as you could tell,

853
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: Amant Bradshaw obviously the much more productive that more yards,

854
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: could touch, more touchdowns got at all. What kind of

855
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: a production can we expect for Trent Richardson? Can he

856
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: be the guy? You might as well because I was

857
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: the guy who was driving the Trent Richardson as sleeper bust. Absolutely,

858
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: this is why we can't have nice things. This is

859
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: why we can't have nice things like because Trent Richardson

860
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: kind of he was better, better than he was last year.

861
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: He's still gotten great And I've had a point now

862
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: where I'm taking a chance on boom Herring going forward

863
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: because he might be the better back in Indianaple Dan

864
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: Harron a good picture for the Angels as well as

865
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: a decent running bet. Yeah, exactly, No. But really though,

866
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: in terms of Trent Richardson, look, the guy hasn't been

867
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to say he's been awful. He's been

868
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: okay in terms of if you want to play the matchups.

869
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: Last year he was awful. This year he's been kind

870
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: of better than awful. I'm not I'm not gonna give

871
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: him a ringing endorsement here. Part of the reason why

872
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: it's their offensive line stinks. They can't open up pulls

873
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: for anybody. And I think Bradshaw was a beneficiary of

874
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: not only being able to catch the ball out of

875
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: the backfield, but he's a little bit of a different

876
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: runner than Trent Richardson. Richardson needs to stop running into

877
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: the backs of his offensive lineman. If he's gonna average

878
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: more than two point nine yards per carry, do I

879
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: trust him moving forward? He's a volume flex play. That's

880
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: all he is right now? Yeah, what what is it?

881
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: A bar always says when he waves his finger held

882
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: to the No, I'm gonna say, oh to the f

883
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: opportunity does breed fantasy points mod Bradshaw's out. It may

884
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 1: just be that simple. I don't mean to go so simple, Simon,

885
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: but sometimes you have and I'll and I'll say this

886
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,479
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, if you think of out a guy,

887
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: you can't have a better matchup than what Trent Richardson

888
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: is offering you a number one running back in that

889
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: kind of offense. I mean, come on, you gotta play

890
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: the guy I like. Speaking of a bad matchup, Silly

891
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: had a terrible one last week. Jordan Matthews the one

892
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: bright spot. Him and Mark Sanchez seemed to have nice

893
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: chemistry going. Now, guys, Matthews has two receiving yards and

894
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in his last three games. But Marcus, can

895
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: he keep this going? Absolutely? I think moving forward, I

896
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,479
Speaker 1: think he's a guy who potentially his ceiling is being

897
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: a top fifteen guy for the remainder of the season,

898
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: just because he and Mark Sanchez seemed to have connected

899
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: and you know, to the point that Riley Cooper is

900
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: not a factor in the passing game anymore. But now

901
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: I get tweets asking me what do I do about

902
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin because Jordan Matthews is seeing so many targets.

903
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: Don't panic on Maclin. He'll be fine. But Jordan Matthews,

904
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: I think deserves a spot in your line. You know,

905
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I'm in a league ron playing Jordan Matthews,

906
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: Jeremy Maclin, Lashawn McCoy and Darren Spoils and the reason.

907
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, though, if you would play every

908
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: single one of those guys individually, why not play them

909
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: if they're all on your team, it's it's a little

910
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: bit risky, but it's very Yeah, I guess I don't

911
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: know you Hi joined me? I am? I mean in

912
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 1: order to have a connection, you have to spend time together,

913
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: new activities. Hey, they practiced with the second team for

914
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,719
