1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: Wow, everybody, It's Monday, December twenty second, twenty twenty five.

2
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast where it's winning time.

3
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: It's me and your man named G Marcus Grant, joined

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: by Michael F. Florio and Lakwan Jones. Ah, well, list,

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: how are we? I know we were sort of moaning

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: and complaining our fantasy fates before the show started. It

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: sounds like, based on our conversations that we all have

8
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: been now bounced from our respective fantasy leagues.

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: Is that? Is that accurate?

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 3: Some I'm still alive and too, but one that I

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 3: really really care about, which is my friends back home.

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: I have been bounced because of Camani Vaidel, because of

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 3: dre Bon Anderson. There's a lot of issues, man. But

14
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: you know, I'm okay. The crash out meter is still up,

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: all right.

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: We actually, honestly, we thought the crash out meter probably

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: got reset after Thursday night.

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 4: We're fine with that. We are well past that. It

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 4: is not my day, Marcus.

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: I'm glad.

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I'm glad.

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm happy for you, Like I just just assumed that

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: the way things went down in Seattle.

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: Oh, you guys are trying hard in the group chat,

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 3: you guys were listen to conversions.

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: We didn't hear from you for a bit.

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's me collecting myself when I don't respond. But

28
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: there was a lot of group chats that were just

29
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: oaking the bear, but the bear was in hibernation sleeping.

30
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: Good for you. I'm proud of you.

31
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,639
Speaker 1: You've You've shown some growth over the course of the season,

32
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: so I probably it happened to happen.

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, Florida, how are you looking?

34
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: Are you?

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: I know you had a couple of tough ones, I think, right.

36
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 4: So the toughest one was Nicolette's team, who she went

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: eleven and three most points all year. She had Josh Allen,

38
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: she had Jacobe Brissett, Christian Watson, Drake London, Quinn Shaw,

39
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: Judkins like her worst year, oh year, she was going

40
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: through it. But I have clinched my League of Record championship.

41
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 4: I'm in three championships right now, and if Juwan Jennings

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 4: doesn't get outscored by Tyler Warren tonight by fifteen, it'll

43
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: be four. It'll be both of my home leagues. So

44
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 4: my friends from home right now hate me because it's

45
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: like oh the pro he gets an advantage. Now I'm

46
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 4: in both championships, so they they're probably upset.

47
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: I imagine being the commissioner and you're constantly going to

48
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: the championship. People are just going to say, oh man,

49
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: this thing is rigged.

50
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 4: Oh man, collusion. I don't commission any league. But because

51
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 4: of what I do, this is the last time.

52
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: My election year is next year, so I'm no longer

53
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: going to be commissioning this.

54
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 4: Thank god.

55
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: I mean, we do every cycle of every two years,

56
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: and thankfully I'm not up for anymore.

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: I'm out. I don't want to do it.

58
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: It is.

59
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: It is the most thankful job in fantasy sports.

60
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 4: Like being the commissioner is the worst.

61
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: It's it's annoying getting eleven year own men on the

62
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: same page. Having league meetings is the worst thing to do.

63
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: Bro. Yes, and here's the thing.

64
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: Now everybody should And then when they don't show up,

65
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: they complain about the rule changes. Oh we still got kickers. Yeah,

66
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 3: because I needed your vote to get it out of here.

67
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna lie to you like I wouldn't

68
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: show up to a league meeting.

69
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna show up.

70
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: But but I'm.

71
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 4: Also not gonna go.

72
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm also not gonna complain about the like whatever, Like, Okay,

73
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: you just tell me what the rules are, tell me

74
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: when the draft is, and I'll be there.

75
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: Like I'm not going to show up to a meeting

76
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: for this.

77
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 4: We don't do meetings, but we do vote every year

78
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: on stuff. But it's like a text or email for it.

79
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: Usually, yeah, usually, just like you know, like, honestly, your

80
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: meetings could have been an email. That's what I'm saying

81
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: right now. Oh I didn't see the email. Oh I

82
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: would have voted.

83
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: Like listen, it's a it's a struggle to get eleven

84
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: other grown men on the same page. That's why I

85
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: cannot wait to not commission this league anymore.

86
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: I do like that you guys rotate commissioner, Like my

87
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 4: league's have the same people be commissioner and they hate it,

88
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 4: but no one else wants to do it, so they

89
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: just keep doing it. If you're going to be in

90
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: this league, you will participate in the election and you

91
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: will be up.

92
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: I love that you're like a co op situation going

93
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: on with your with your commission.

94
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 4: You guys vote on who the commissioner is.

95
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: There's one guy that wants to be the commission but

96
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: we refuse to let him be commissioner. So every time

97
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: his name comes up, like.

98
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: Na, this the wall. There's no solution for all of

99
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 4: you guys who don't want to do it.

100
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: Just let him do it.

101
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: I really feel like it should be the last place punishment, right,

102
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: if you come in last.

103
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 4: Place, you're the commissionermissioner, that's a good idea.

104
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: Sorry luck, you got to run this whole thing. Have fun.

105
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 4: The funny thing is the person I'm talking to listens

106
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 4: to this spot. He's a huge fan of Florio.

107
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: And the thing is, it's like we cannot let him

108
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: be commissioned, so it's like never gonna happen.

109
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 4: So he's a troll if he likes me. He likes

110
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 4: that you.

111
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: Stirred the pot, and he likes that you push my buttons,

112
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: and he's supposed to be my boy.

113
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 2: But it's all good man. That's that's actually really really funny.

114
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was in three semi finals. I will make

115
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: it through in one of them. One I just I

116
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: had guys that just had bad games.

117
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 4: At the worst time.

118
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: One I just in a Fantasy Live league, I ran

119
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: into Korean Falcone who just has a juggernaut. She's son

120
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: you guys, She's only fifty on me and she still

121
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: has Christian mccaffreys to play. So I texted you the

122
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: Jake Paul busted up face, uh you know photo, because.

123
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 4: That's job broken in two places.

124
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: That's that's how that's how my team feels.

125
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 4: If she wins, it's what her her second or third

126
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 4: title in four years?

127
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: Literally a third four years, I believe it is.

128
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's It's basically her and her and Hythan Kalani

129
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: are like the Chiefs and Patriots are just kind of

130
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: running this thing right now, although it looks like hyphen

131
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 1: might be out anyway.

132
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

133
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: The third league I made it through, it's like it's

134
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: a It's a league where I know like literally one person,

135
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: the commissioner of the league was like invited me in.

136
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody else in this league. They all

137
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: know me and what I do.

138
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 4: They hate, like they really do. Like I didn't even

139
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: get to pick my team name.

140
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,279

00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 4: You got to keep it now.

146
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: So but I was a two seed and I'm looking

Speaker 2: Whatever.

160
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: Also looking ahead to maybe some big questions for week

161
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: seventeen because we're starting to get information, and of course

162
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: one last waiver wire go around for folks, people who

163
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: to drop, people who to add, and then just some

164
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: general tips on how to approach it because this is

165
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: a different week when it comes to the waiver wire.

166
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: So we got all that and more. Plus first we'll

167
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: do some news headlines, as we always do about this time,

168
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: going back to Saturday Night Jordan Love was forced out

169
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: of the Packers game against the Bears with a concussion.

170
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: He is in the protocol as of us recording this show.

171
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: I know the Packers is certainly optimistic that he can

172
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: come back, but we will wait and see. But Florio,

173
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: how big of a hit do the Green Bay pass

174
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: catchers take if it is Malik Willis that has to

175
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: start next week?

176
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: Huge, huge hit, I think. And it's not that I

177
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 4: don't believe in Malik Willis. It's set. The Packers made

178
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 4: it pretty clear, I would say, in the games that

179
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 4: he has played that like they don't want him airing

180
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: it out at a high rate. Even when they let

181
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: him throw, he's not throwing it downfield often. You know,

182
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: it's a lot of catch and run type of passes.

183
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: So I've become a big Jordan Love fan this year.

184
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: If he's out there, I think like Christian Watson and

185
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 4: Jaden Reid remain options. I don't even think there must

186
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 4: plays with Love because the Packers would read back and

187
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 4: golden back and everyone healthy again. Like they're spreading the

188
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 4: ball out at a high rate. At least that's what

189
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 4: they did this past week when Love was out there,

190
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: and it makes it frustrating for fantasy. But with Willis,

191
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 4: like I have Watson on at least one of my

192
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: teams that have made it through, and if he if

193
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 4: it's Malik Willis, I will not be playing Christian Watson

194
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 4: this week. Yeah, it's just it's a it's a tough situation.

195
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: It was.

196
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: It was so great too, Kwhan, because Christian Watson had

197
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: become a thing, like legitimately a thing in this offense.

198
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I fact, I was going back. I forgot

199
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: like Tucker Craft. Remember how good Tucker Craft had been

200
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: when he was healthy.

201
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: Remember that guy.

202
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I literally was like I was looking at him

203
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: like he's still the tight end sixteen, at least as

204
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: of last night, was still the tight end sixteen.

205
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 3: I was like, this was going to be the season.

206
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: There's a place since week nine, Yeah, this was going

207
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: to be the season that Tucker Craft was going to explode.

208
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: And like it just.

209
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 3: Sucks, man like turn injuries off, Like I don't want

210
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: to go back to my my you know, miss plays

211
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: and all this other stuff, but come on now, like junkins,

212
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: I mean, come Onie Vidau, like come on, you got

213
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 3: Jordan Love, Like all these injuries really trash a lot

214
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: of fantasy managers this week, So it's like turn injuries

215
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 3: off man because, like, I honestly want you know Jordan

216
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: Love next week if he's up an atomatic concussion protocol,

217
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: because when Malik willis, like, it's cool that you know,

218
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: he can be a guy that you pick up off

219
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: the way wire if Jordan Love doesn't go, But it's

220
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: not going to be one of those sexy picks out

221
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 3: there that's going to help you bring home the gold.

222
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: Like I do feel like Florio's saying that most of

223
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: these wide receivers taking a hit, they absolutely will because

224
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: more often than not, he's going to take the ball

225
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: tucking and run. So like if he's going to be

226
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 3: running the ball more often than not. Also, you look

227
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: at other the the other pass catchers like a Jayden

228
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: Reed and stuff like that, you're hoping to be used

229
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: close to the line of scrimms.

230
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 4: Because he can give you that yack.

231
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: But then it's like, how often is Malik willis going

232
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: to be throwing the ball for four quarters?

233
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 4: You know? Yeah? No, I think that's that's gonna be

234
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 4: the big question. Sure, next week we could get Packers

235
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 4: Ravens with their playoffs backs against the wall, with both

236
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 4: teams having a backup quarterback.

237
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: Let's go Willis Tyler Huntley that we have all been

238
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: pining for.

239
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: Man, I hope Jordan Love is good though. Man, you

240
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 4: know we hope so.

241
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean, definitely it helps the Packers. It just makes

242
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: it more entertaining too. I think on that level, I'm

243
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: a more serious story. Well, I guess equally serious in

244
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: its own way. It's still very much in development. You

245
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: have probably seen the video by now of DK Metcalf

246
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: getting in an altercation with a Lions fan in the stands.

247
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: DK goes over to the stands the fan says something

248
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: to him. Obviously we don't hear what it is, but

249
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: Metcalf takes a swipe at the guy. The NFL is

250
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: reviewing it now. Both sides have given their take on it.

251
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: According to the fan, he says he was just using

252
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: DK's full name and that's what got him upset. According

253
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: to Metcalf, this is not the first time he has

254
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: had a run in with this fan. That had happened

255
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: during his days in Seattle. That the fan taunted him

256
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: and said to things to upset him. Now, there's also

257
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: some uh reports from the other fans that were in

258
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: the area, and they said that this fan used language

259
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: about Metcalf's mother and about Metcalf himself that absolutely crossed

260
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: the line.

261
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: So the league is obviously reviewing it.

262
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: We don't know at this point what if any discipline

263
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: is going to come for DK.

264
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: But I mean, lakwan, let's you know.

265
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: If we take this out to the situation of is

266
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: is there possibly a suspension coming again?

267
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: At this point?

268
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: We don't know, but you know, we got to kind

269
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: of game plan for what might happen. I get a

270
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: DK is not necessarily been a huge Fantasy star this year,

271
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: but he's had some.

272
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: Nice games along the way.

273
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you know, if you have him

274
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: and you're still alive, are you are you pivoting to

275
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: like a Calvin Austen?

276
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 2: Are you?

277
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: Are you going away from the Steelers altogether at this

278
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: point away?

279
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 4: Look on your face, like whoa Calvin Awson? Of all people?

280
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 3: I don't know Ben Skarnik in there, I mean, why not?

281
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: I mean Adam Deeling, you know, like what yeah, man,

282
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: Ram Sledge, I like that, Like we love Ben. I mean, look,

283
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 3: if ben' Skarnick gets opportunity, I hope he balls out

284
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: for real life purposes, but for fantasy, you definitely take

285
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: a hit. Like it's one of those situations that you're

286
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: hoping that if you were riding with DK, like you

287
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 3: saw the up and down roller coasters he's had all

288
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 3: season long, so you kind of properly prepared yourself to have,

289
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: you know, the wide receiver four ready, the wide receiver five,

290
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 3: Like at least you have some depth opportunities. But I'm

291
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: not looking for seeing team situation of like Calvin Awson

292
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 3: or Ben Skaronic or Adam Theeen, Like I'm more so

293
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: looking elsewhere, like Florida has the waiver wiing you know

294
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 3: later in the show that he'll get to some of

295
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 3: the wide receivers that I'd rather pivot to. But like,

296
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 3: this will suck if he gets suspended for this. To

297
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: be honest, like you're talking about my mom, you're saying

298
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 3: my full name, whatever the case may be, right, I

299
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: feel like both sides are wrong because you paid to

300
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: see me play football, you saying whatever you say. You

301
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 3: need to be a little bit more emotionally stable, I

302
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: would say, because in the text chain week a week ago,

303
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: I've kind of expressed of the type of football that

304
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: he plays and the type of activities he doesn't. Like

305
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: he was a success football, that's what you success. For

306
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 3: this situation to unfold like this, it's kind of unfortunately

307
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: on the fan side and for DK because it's like

308
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: why did this happen? Like you're supposed to be all

309
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: the way on the bench, like how is he even

310
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 3: able to speak that loud that you can hear anything

311
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: he's saying, and like for that fan to be barking

312
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: like that, why did security step in? Like you see

313
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: security on the sideline standing there like they usually intervene

314
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 3: with these things of like yo, chill out, you're gonna

315
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 3: get kicked out. It's a lot of going on.

316
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's definitely a lot going on.

317
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: I would say neither side comes out of this looking good.

318
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: You know, obviously there's more to be learned. I'm curious

319
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: how much of it we actually do find out. We'll see,

320
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: but you know, we're just we're waiting for discipline there.

321
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: There's I can't imagine there won't be some form of

322
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: league discipline.

323
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 4: We'll see what it's going to be. We did in

324
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 4: week one. It feels like a lifetime ago, but Lamar

325
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 4: did shove a Bills fan in Week one, and there

326
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 4: was no punishment I think on either side. So I

327
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: who knows, Like I do think if you have DK

328
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 4: though plan on a contingency just in.

329
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: Case, yep, I think you got to.

330
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: You got to make a backup plan, just just in

331
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: case the league decides to hand down a suspension.

332
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 4: So who knows.

333
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy. I was in the midst of having a

334
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: pretty good game against Florio.

335
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: Boy, yeah, I saved this, especially for Florio because you

336
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: have admitted that you're sort of kind of rooting for

337
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: JJ a little bit now. But injured his right hand

338
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: against the Giants. Max Brozmer came in and finished things out.

339
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 4: Also side notes all of this. I actually we'll get

340
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 4: to that a little bit later.

341
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: But if it is Brozemer, and again it's it's Monday

342
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: morning when we're putting this thing together, so we don't

343
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: know much of anything. But if it is Brosmer against

344
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: the Lions, can you trust any of the Vikings pass

345
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: catchers this week?

346
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 4: Probably not. He was so bad in his one, Like

347
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 4: he was so bad that they were like, let's get

348
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 4: JJ out here as quickly as possible. When JJ was

349
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 4: playing his worst football of the And yeah, the reason

350
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for JJ is just because whatever like consensus

351
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 4: completely goes against the player. I'm always like I would

352
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 4: like that player to prove everyone wrong. It's not like

353
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 4: I'm a JJ Fenn or something like that. But I

354
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 4: do think he was judged too early. We've talked about

355
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 4: it already, but when he first came back, he was

356
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 4: playing defenses that had already seen him or that are

357
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 4: some of the top defenses in the NFL, and that's

358
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 4: not really a fair way of judging someone. He the

359
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 4: schedule has lightened up as of late, and I'm not

360
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 4: saying he's set in the world on fire, but he

361
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 4: has played better and he's looked better for those who

362
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 4: have watched. And I thought he made the interception was rough,

363
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 4: but I thought he made some good throws yesterday. And

364
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 4: then I thought, on top of that, like the Lions

365
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 4: would be an opportunity you could get. I don't really

366
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 4: want to do Jordan Addison. He's dropping everything that goes

367
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 4: his way.

368
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 3: That touchdown doing, Yeah, that would have been another touchdown

369
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: for JJ.

370
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 4: He's had a lot of bad drops Addison. I don't

371
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 4: Hockinson we're not doing any of that. It's really just

372
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson and the Lions should be a spot you

373
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: could use him because you're like they could be trailing.

374
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 4: They're awful against wide receivers. But if it's Brosmer, I

375
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 4: don't know you'd have to it would It would very

376
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: much still depend on your options, and there's probably a

377
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 4: world where you have better ones than Jefferson. Unless you're

378
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 4: in a pinch, then I understand just throwing him out

379
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 4: there in the matchup, but it's not ideally what I

380
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 4: want to do in the championship with Max Brosmer, you.

381
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: Know, I mean, let's let's keep it a buck.

382
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: If you are consistently starting any Vikings pass catchers, it's

383
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: a miracle that you are still playing.

384
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're talking to a small percentage of Fantasy mannerisers

385
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 3: right now with Justin Jefferson in the Championship.

386
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: So the two of you out there, you think long

387
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: and hard about your opportunity of what was going to

388
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: happen this week.

389
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 4: I think in in one of my leagues, I lost

390
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 4: to JJ zach Yson last week by two points, and

391
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 4: then he with I had an injury too, which sucked,

392
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 4: But he's snuck by again this week and he has

393
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 4: justin Jefferson. So JJ, we're talking to you directly.

394
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: I guess JJ doesn't need our help man, Like, you know,

395
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: if anything, we should be like taking a look at

396
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: his Monday morning, you know, data thread and you know,

397
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: been pulling stuff from there. Lakwan, you mentioned Quinn Shawn Judkins.

398
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: He did leave with a broken leg, broken fibula in

399
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: a dislocated ankle. The initial timeline for his rehab recovery

400
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: return is somewhere in the neighborhood of four to five months,

401
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: So we're looking at probably May for him to get

402
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: back out of the field, certainly plenty of time for

403
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: OTA's mini camps and then definitely training camp once we.

404
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: Get to the summer.

405
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: In the short term though, does this mean a Dylan

406
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: Sampson season.

407
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 3: Uh, maybe, you know Rocket Sanders, maybe a little mixture

408
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: of Dylan Samson. Like I feel like now I'm kind

409
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: of turned off with the Browns, you know, running backs

410
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 3: just based on the old line that's been questionable these

411
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks, and it's like I only seen

412
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 3: quin Shawn Jenkins producing behind that line in a positive matter,

413
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: getting positive yards and I do think like now it

414
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: comes down to the waiver wire, comes down to your

415
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 3: running back fours and fives that you rostered this long

416
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 3: and it's like one of those things where it sucks,

417
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 3: you know, because like Junkins was literally the best back

418
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 3: on that roster and now putting my faith in one

419
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 3: of these backups. It's one of the things where Sampson

420
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 3: was banged up this week or last week. In the

421
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 3: sense of what you're listening to now, I feel like

422
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: I just cannot even try to sit there and try

423
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 3: to play that game and try to put a Browns

424
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 3: running back in the starting lineup in the championship right now.

425
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: Well, especially when it's not quin Shawn Judkins. I mean

426
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: just because he was the home run hitter. He was

427
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: the explosive guy who could rip off big run, maybe

428
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: take it to the house. I was also getting a

429
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: few targets here and there.

430
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 3: I mean, he busted off of a long one and

431
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 3: like for holding it got called back. So it's like

432
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 3: he was on the track of having a strong performance

433
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: and like just cut short he.

434
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 4: Would have because he would have got the touchdown late.

435
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 4: Like it was very painful as someone who has Judkins

436
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 4: to watch Sanders, and but I do think if Samson

437
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 4: is back this week, he's the only one I'd be

438
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 4: interested in because he could do both right, Like, we've

439
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 4: seen Samson as the lead back this year, and they're

440
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 4: not afraid to give him the bulk of carries on

441
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 4: the ground and use him in the passing game, Whereas

442
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 4: if it's Sanders, he'll get the carries and then the

443
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 4: fake Trevion will get the targets in the rounds. I

444
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 4: don't want to do that, but if Samson is back,

445
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 4: I could I could see him being in play potentially.

446
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 4: The fake Travion is crazy.

447
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: I mean you obviously you watched that game against the Bills.

448
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: I mean there was a ton of screen pass like

449
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: that was the whole They built a whole plane out

450
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: of screen passes yesterday, and it seemed like they had

451
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: the Bills kind of turned around by.

452
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 4: It too, Like I mean, that's how you beat the

453
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 4: Bills defense.

454
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: You just beat him on the edge and then just

455
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 3: get upfield, and that's kind of just what the game

456
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 3: plan was.

457
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 4: Sanders quarterback running against the Bills is huge too. And

458
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 4: Sanders ran for almost fifty yards yesterday like he was

459
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 4: he was doing his thing.

460
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: At least the first quarter, maybe even part of the

461
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: second quarter, he had the bills kind of tied up

462
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: in knots. And then it also felt like the game script,

463
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: the the you know, the the fifteen or twenty scripted plays,

464
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: that part kind of ran out, and then it was like,

465
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: all right, well, good luck right now right exactly what

466
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: it was? What now sort of thing.

467
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 4: It didn't help that Brandon Cooks first. I know this

468
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 4: is a different thing, but Brandon Cook's second straight week

469
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 4: dropped like a fifty yarder right through his hands, and

470
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 4: then Dawson Knox dropped the touchdown like it was. It

471
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 4: was a painful watch for me yesterday. It wasn't enjoyable.

472
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: I was you know, I was watching that kind of

473
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't fully watching it, but had an eye on him,

474
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: kind of like this not looking great right now, not

475
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: looking great.

476
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 4: But eventually they figured out Brandon Cooks. They love him,

477
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: that he's fast and he's getting open, but he doesn't

478
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 4: know how hands work. That is the big problem. He

479
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 4: tell me about it.

480
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: We could have won a Super Bowl if he would

481
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: have caught that one, which is wild saying wild thing there.

482
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: Last bit of news year the Chiefs believe Gardner Minshew

483
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: has torn his acl that came in a surprising like

484
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: blowout loss the Tits. I mean they got thumped by

485
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee on Sunday. So it appears that after years of

486
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: getting away with it, the Chiefs are no longer getting

487
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: away with it. Chris o'lana kun is in line to

488
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: be the starter on Christmas Day against the Denver Broncos.

489
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: Uh So, Floria, I'll ask you, this is it now?

490
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: Like now officially a rap on the Chiefs in fantasy football.

491
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 4: Yes, it was wild because yesterday I'm watching you know,

492
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 4: I have I have the Bills on their own screen,

493
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 4: and then I have like a quad box with red

494
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 4: zone on it, and the one I couldn't fit one

495
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 4: game that I was like, all right, I can I

496
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: guess I can't lock into that one game. And it

497
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 4: was an easy decision. It was like it's Chiefs Titans,

498
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 4: Like I have no care about that game, Like I

499
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 4: like cam Ward. He made a few nice throws. I'm

500
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 4: gonna watch a lot of his games back this offseason.

501
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 4: But in fantasy playoff time, the Titans mean nothing, The

502
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 4: Chiefs mean nothing, and yeah, without Garner Minshew like even

503
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 4: if for Steve Rice returns next week, I'm sitting him.

504
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 4: I would sit Travis Kelsey. I know Isaiah Pacheco had

505
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 4: a bunch of targets. I don't care because if they

506
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 4: do get a touchdown, it's gonna go to Kareem Hunt. Yeah,

507
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 4: this is a wasteland of an because I know everyone's

508
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 4: gonna be like it's without Mahomes. Yes, that's huge obviously,

509
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 4: but we're going now to a third stringer who I

510
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: believe was undrafted and yesterday was his first naps in

511
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 4: the NFL. Like I I don't want my fantasy titles

512
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 4: clinging to that, especially against the Denver Broncos.

513
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 1: I did post like what is Chris alata kun? And

514
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: I was now what Koby who told me that he

515
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: was kind of a practice squad hero I think for

516
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: the Steelers for a year or two and then the Chiefs.

517
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 4: Uh.

518
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: He did play odd game. He played odd game last year.

519
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: He appeared in one game, did not start it no surprise.

520
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: He was sacked for five yards. That is the only

521
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: statistic that he I know. He did have one carry

522
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: for five yards also, so basically he ran.

523
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: For five yards.

524
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: He was sacked for five yards pretty much washed.

525
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 4: It wasn't great against the Titans. Now the Broncos have

526
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 4: a week to prepare for him in a game they

527
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 4: absolutely need to win and are upset after losing to

528
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 4: the jag Wars. I think they just kind of just

529
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 4: walk off the bus and play. If they win that game,

530
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 4: then the following week against the Chargers is four I

531
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 4: believe the one If it's definitely for the division, it

532
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 4: might be for the one seed, depending on how things play, Like, yeah,

533
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 4: they're going to annihilate the Chiefs on Christmas.

534
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

535
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: By the way, that weird fever dream of the Chargers

536
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: and Rams potentially hosting games on Championship Sunday, I think

537
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: it's still out there.

538
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 2: There's still a possibility.

539
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 4: The Chargers could get a top seed.

540
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: I know, and like the idea of like what happens

541
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: if Sofi Stadium has to do two championship games on

542
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: the same day, Like, I'm sure there are people in facilities,

543
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: the facilities and the field crew over there is just

544
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: like all right, let's let's start gaming this out.

545
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 2: Just you know, it's a long shot, but let's game

546
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 2: it out just in case you gotta go.

547
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: Just like NFL, right, like you have no low one

548
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 4: Chargers end zone one RAMS end zone, like just.

549
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: Like one in zones, Chargers one is RAMS. It's just

550
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: NFL in the middle. That'll be wild.

551
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 4: Like I'm kind of rooty for pushing word now.

552
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: I just kind of want to see how this would work.

553
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 4: I'm here to help out the crew. I'll help out

554
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 4: the field crew prepare it. As long as this Chargers bills,

555
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 4: I'm cool with it.

556
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 2: That's funny. It'll be weird, So who knows.

557
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: All right, So that wraps up the news that we're

558
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: just getting into things here. We'll take a quick break,

559
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: come back, talk to some playoff Week two heroes.

560
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: Next on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. All right, so Week.

561
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: Two of the fantasy playoffs pretty much wrapped up minus

562
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: Steve Monday Night Football game. Of course, that means some

563
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: more heroes and villains for us Lakwan.

564
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: Who is your playoff Week two hero?

565
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 3: Kyle pits I mean a lot of folks were like

566
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 3: questioning to start him with Drake London coming back, but

567
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 3: it looked like even with Drake London coming back, Kyle

568
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: Pitts picked the ball up and kept going so like

569
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 3: he almost had two touchdowns if he doesn't drop that

570
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: one in the end zone where he was wide open.

571
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 3: But I think Kirk could have put it, you know,

572
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: in the numbers. But at the end of the day,

573
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 3: it's one of those things that are just like Kyle Pits,

574
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 3: There's not enough people out there throwing the cape on

575
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: for him. Man, He's literally the tight end two right

576
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 3: now and like for him to be a top three

577
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: tight end to finish this season out man, not enough

578
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 3: people are talking about that or cheering for him. So

579
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 3: shout out to Kyle pitch Man leading a bunch of

580
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 3: fantasy managers to the championship.

581
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 4: Bring it home. He got me in two.

582
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it's great to see a little frustrating because

583
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: I had London in a couple of leagues, but you

584
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: know what, not gonna hate, not gonna hate flor It.

585
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. I was losing in one all day and then

586
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 4: that Kyle Pitts I started. It was the two quarterback league.

587
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 4: I told you when my quarterbacks are trash and I

588
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 4: started at Kirk Cousins and that stack pushed me over

589
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 4: the top. So I was loving that. There is Who's

590
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 4: your hero for this week, Chris ol Lava, because in

591
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 4: one of the leagues that I ended up winning and

592
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: making the Championship. It was looking rough for much of

593
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 4: the day and then Chris Olava exploded and really gave

594
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 4: me a padding there to help. And it's not just like, yes,

595
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 4: this was his best game of the year by far,

596
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 4: for second game all year with multiple touchdowns, season high,

597
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 4: sixteen targets, ten catches tied a season high. One hundred

598
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: and forty eight yards was a season high. But he's

599
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 4: been getting a lot of volume as of late, and

600
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 4: him and Tyler Schuck have some chemistry cooking and I

601
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 4: haven't checked it yet, but I know coming into the week,

602
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 4: Shuck was fifth in completion yards on passes of ten

603
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 4: or more air yards. Those are looks going to Chris o'lave.

604
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 4: So I feel really good about Chris Olave next week

605
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 4: in the Fantasy Championship, and uh, it's to spin it

606
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 4: forward to next year. I was thinking a lot about

607
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 4: this recently, and I was like, you know, we all

608
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 4: were saying we didn't love Chris Olave this summer, and

609
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 4: we didn't love his situation and stuff. But the only

610
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 4: reason I have him on a couple of teams is

611
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 4: because he was going so late that. I was like,

612
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 4: whenever I would get there, I'd be like, you know what,

613
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 4: I'll take a shot on the lave at this cost.

614
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 4: I'm gonna look next season four players like that that

615
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 4: the fantasy industry is just like I don't really want

616
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 4: but we know is really talented and is going at

617
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 4: a discount, and then I'm just gonna draft that player,

618
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 4: all right. I like that idea, I really do.

619
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: I remember him going around real quick where Brandon Ayuk

620
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 3: was going, you know, where the Keenan Allen's of the

621
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 3: world were going. And like Chris olave Man, the og

622
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 3: now of the satel of Discontent. Man, that's the pass

623
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: I love that he escaped man like he's run free.

624
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 4: He needed to. He might be in the Satchel of

625
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 4: Champion soon enough.

626
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: Hey, he is the Andy Dufrayne of the Satchel of Discontent.

627
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: You'll understand that reference.

628
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: You'll understand that reference this summer when we make you

629
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: watch seaw Shank Redemption, you'll understand it a little bit more. Anyway,

630
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: my heroes was Trevor Lawrence, who at this point we

631
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: have to call him Trevor Lawrence. You gotta call him

632
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Now Lakwan Trevor Lawrence, William tre trev Lawrence.

633
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: He's like in a week where.

634
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: No one expected him to do anything on the road

635
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: at Denver. As of now, heading into Monday Night football,

636
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: he is the QB one for the week thirty one points.

637
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: He scored seventy five points in back to back weeks.

638
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: You go back to week thirteen, he has fourteen total touchdowns,

639
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: no turnovers, no interceptions, no fumbles.

640
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: He has been over two.

641
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: Hundred and twenty five passing yards in all of the

642
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: games he's given you nineteen or more and four straight.

643
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he is on absolute fire and made a statement.

644
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: He and the Jaguars made a statement by going into

645
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: Denver and handling the Broncos. So like, look, if you

646
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: if you were bold enough to start him, if you

647
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: were you know, forced into it, whatever, he was huge

648
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: for you in a situation where I don't think anybody

649
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: really believed he could do. If Trevor Lawrence had scored

650
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: fifteen points against the Broncos, I'd have been like, all right,

651
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: that's you know what, I'll take that. That's not bad.

652
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: Got just thirty one.

653
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 4: Yesterday was the most impressed I've ever been with.

654
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence seriously, and this is my text chain, right,

655
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 3: I've been I was getting blown up yesterday because Trevor

656
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 3: was going off. I mean, justin Henry, Trev's gonna need

657
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: a new nickname. Shout out to jg Man. I was

658
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: told that he was mid and then I get added

659
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: on Twitter Blue Sky Patrick Layborne saying that I was

660
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 3: the reason why like the Jags, oh la kwan a ton.

661
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: He is single handedly motivated the Jags to try extra hard.

662
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: Chat.

663
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,959
Speaker 3: I've been saying for the last month and a half

664
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 3: that he was a playoff stash.

665
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 4: I've been calling William for the last couple of weeks.

666
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 4: He is no longer mid. He's been retired off the middimeter.

667
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 3: So it's good. He's impressed. He's earned my respect. Shout

668
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 3: out to Trevor.

669
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 2: All Right, I had it, very good, very good.

670
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 4: I appreciate. See this is growth, this is growth. All right?

671
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: So those are the heroes laquad. Who's your playoff of

672
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: villain in week two?

673
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: All right?

674
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: This one kind of made me upset because this was

675
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: our tight end one Tray McBride six fantasy points. I mean,

676
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 3: I guess Elijah Higgins, you know, he had other plans

677
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 3: of showing up and showing out, nearly putting up one

678
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: hundred yards and again, Trey McBride just could not get separation,

679
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 3: Like when you're watching him out there, like he is

680
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: being doubled, Like they've made sure to take him out

681
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 3: of the game. Sure, Elijah Higgins, the backup tight end,

682
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 3: go off, go off on the wayward. That helped absolutely nobody.

683
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 3: So trade McBride, Like, I'm literally sitting in the leagues

684
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: with multiple trade mcbrides and I'm not going to the

685
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 3: championship because of him. So he is my number one

686
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 3: top op. I probably won't draft because of that.

687
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad. I'm just bitter right now. I'm just bitter.

688
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: I did survive one mcbray McBride lineup that I had.

689
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 4: But I will say, like last week I went on

690
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 4: Fantasy Live and I was like, yes, the Falcons are

691
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 4: the toughest matchup for tight ends. I don't care. I

692
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: think it. We need to give the Falcons some credit

693
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 4: to they were. They played phenomenally against McBride.

694
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: They took him out of the game like there was

695
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: no separation that he could possibly get, and.

696
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 4: Jacobe usually take the risk He also probably should have

697
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 4: caught that touchdown.

698
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 3: But listen, there was a lot going on. It was

699
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 3: well guarded, but it hit him in the head. They

700
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: took him out of the game. Shout out to the Falcons.

701
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 4: He's gonna make up for it for whoever survived, because

702
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 4: he gets the Bengals next.

703
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: Week, or he's going to go off for people who lost,

704
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: and like they're gonna sit there and be salty about it.

705
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 4: Thank you that that's that's what I was about to say.

706
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: That was literally off Florida your villain for the week, the.

707
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 4: Green Bay Packers because they play Saturday night and a

708
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 4: lot of a lot of people were watching, and uh, look,

709
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna knock Jordan Love. He gets he gets

710
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 4: concussed very early, unfortunately, so he's out. But then it

711
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 4: was just a house of cards after that. Christian Watson

712
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 4: had less than four fantasy points. Jayden Reed the other

713
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 4: Packers wide receiver that people probably considered starting. He didn't

714
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 4: do anything either. You know who did, Romeo Dobbs, who

715
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 4: no one started. And then Josh Jacobs, right, I know,

716
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 4: he was banged up coming in, he was up in

717
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 4: the air, but then he ends up going he has

718
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 4: a fumble, they don't give him the ball again the

719
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 4: rest of the game. Instead, they just keep using Emmanuel Wilson,

720
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 4: who people picked up but no one started because Josh

721
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 4: Jacobs ended up playing. So the Packers that you used

722
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 4: your calls to you like we were We went out

723
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 4: for dinner on Saturday night and Nicolette was like, he

724
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 4: got me like three point two points and I'm like,

725
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 4: it's not over, It's not over, And it was over,

726
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 4: like it was over ruin you so many people's Fantasy championships,

727
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 4: even before semifinals, I mean before Sunday. Wow, yeah, that

728
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 4: was that was brutal. For sure.

729
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: Mine's Josh Allen and this isn't like a you know,

730
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: it's not a Josh Allen hate moment. Just he just

731
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: came up short at the worst possible moment for you.

732
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: It is really all it was. I mean, the Bulls

733
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 2: offense and you.

734
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: Can speak to this probably better than either of us,

735
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: but they just looked discombobulated. They just couldn't really generate

736
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: much of anything. James Cook kind of helped carry the day,

737
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: and I mean, look, you do this one hundred times,

738
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: You're starting Josh Allen one hundred times and more often

739
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: than not, he's going to produce for you.

740
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: This was the week he didn't.

741
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: If you were able to survive, congratulations, If not, sorry

742
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: about your luck dims the breaks in this weird game.

743
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 4: That we play. Worst fantasy game since his rookie year

744
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 4: or since twenty nineteen, I believe, and his first ever

745
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 4: career win and with fewer than two hundred yards and

746
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 4: no touchdowns, but he still had a touchdown Dawson Knox

747
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 4: that hit him in the face mask like the I

748
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 4: don't know what they're doing with their receiver room lately,

749
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 4: but it hasn't been good.

750
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: Kon Coleman gave Davis were healthy scratches like it's HiT's

751
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: a wrap for keys and it's a rap Buffalo. Yeah,

752
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: I think it's over for him in Buffalo.

753
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 4: Like if he's there next year, it says they're four

754
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 4: or five, like it's it's nothing more. You definitely draft

755
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 4: another wide receiver though, right, Like, no, I forget drafting,

756
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 4: Just go get one of these big names that doesn't

757
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 4: want to be on their team anymore.

758
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 2: Nobody would try to Brown. You're you're you're you're asking

759
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 2: for a J Brown.

760
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 4: AJ Brown. Uh, justin Jefferson was unhappy this year. DJ Moore,

761
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 4: I know is happy now, but for a lot of

762
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 4: the year he was like a forgotten man in Chicago.

763
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 4: Like I don't want Brandon Ayuk. I'll tell you that

764
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 4: right now, Marcus, the other options like those, I would

765
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 4: rather swing big and get approving commodity. But we'll see

766
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 4: what they do. They'll draw someone in the third.

767
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: Rounds, go out and get a free agent and then

768
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: draft mackay Lemon. That is that the USC bullet Nakoff winner. Yes,

769
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: you're actually getting better at it. I mean it's not great,

770
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: but you're better at it now than you were earlier

771
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: in the season.

772
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 2: Stop.

773
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, There you go. That's little Bunny

774
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: fou fou over here. All right, We're gonna take a

775
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: quick break in talk about what the is going on

776
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: with some weirdness that we saw on Sundays around the

777
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: NFL and fantasy football.

778
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 4: That's coming up next. One last look back at.

779
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: Week sixteen with a little thing it's called what the

780
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: bleep is going on? You mentioned justin Jefferson Florida before

781
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: the break and his frustrations, had his best game since

782
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: Week nine. Six catches eighty what eighty five eighty six

783
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: yards I think it was. Is does this mean they're

784
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: figuring something out or is this purely because the Giants stink?

785
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 4: All that? But it's good to see that they took

786
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 4: advantage of the matchup because they've had favorable matchups leading

787
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 4: up to this and it really hasn't all worked out.

788
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 4: But still feel the same way, like next week's a

789
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 4: great matchup, even better than the Giants, right, Like the

790
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 4: Lions are one of two teams worse against receivers than

791
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 4: the Giants have been this season. But I, if it's Max,

792
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 4: I I can't.

793
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: Do Yeah, yeah, I mean, look, this was the week.

794
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: I actually coming into this week was just kind of like, yeah,

795
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: it's it's over for Justin Jefferson. Like I'm like if

796
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: I somehow survived, Like I can't keep running him back

797
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: out there, So like this would have we if I

798
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: had had him somewhere, I probably would have benched him. Yeah,

799
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'd have been sad about missing

800
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: out on those fourteen points or whatever it was that

801
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: he gave you, but it just it just didn't make

802
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: sense to keep doing it at this point.

803
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 4: This season is going to ruin his all time standings

804
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 4: because like he should be getting fifteen hundred and ten

805
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 4: every year, but.

806
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be it's gonna be one of

807
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: those things where you look back and you'll see like the.

808
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: Low number and you're like, was he hurt or something?

809
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: This year'll be like, no, nope, no quarterbacks.

810
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: His quarterbacks stunk. That's all. That's pretty much all it is.

811
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 4: The Vikings should have a lot of explaining to do

812
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 4: on how their quarterback room got so bad, Like I

813
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 4: get it with JJ, but behind like you had so

814
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 4: much talent.

815
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: That's what I would want from a Hard Knocks. That's

816
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: what I would want from a Hard Knocks. But they'll

817
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: never they will never thanks to the Giants open up

818
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: and give us that kind of access.

819
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 4: Oh yeah yeah.

820
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: After the Saquon Barkley with the Giant like we will

821
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: never see that sort of access into a team's front

822
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: office decisions ever.

823
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 4: Ever, the Giants also gave us the clip of of

824
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 4: their GM being like, I don't know, Beal Jackson Dart,

825
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 4: it's on you, and then when he's good, he's like

826
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 4: it was all of us, man, I was just as

827
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 4: influential on that, Like.

828
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ashton Gentc against the Houston Texans.

829
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: I mean we were all away from the Raiders.

830
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean we literally asked Kim last week Florida, like,

831
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: will the Raiders score a touchdown? Like it was a

832
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: common question around social media. At what point they had

833
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: the lead in that game? And Ashton Genty has his

834
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: second best game of the season, one hundred and twenty

835
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: eight rushing yards, a rushing touchdown, sixty receiving yards, and

836
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 1: a receiving touchdown.

837
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 2: He did it against the Texans.

838
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 3: Lakwan like, what what thed is going on?

839
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 2: What happened? How did this happen?

840
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 3: That's exactly what I was saying when I was watching

841
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 3: that game, Like how would the Raiders still in this game?

842
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 3: Like I had the Texans defense everywhere in a lot

843
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 3: of leagues, and I'm like, yeah, they still gave me

844
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 3: twelve points, but at one point they had eighteen because

845
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 3: they were just turning the ball over getting sacks, And

846
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 3: it's like, wait, Ashton Genty a sixty yard reception, how

847
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 3: how did you let that go? Okay, that happened, and

848
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 3: then he runs one another one for like I forget

849
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 3: how many yards, but it's like one of those things,

850
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 3: where did the Texans show up or like did they

851
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 3: take the starters out? Because it made no sense that

852
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 3: Ashton Genty was having this type of game on a

853
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 3: lot of benches, like so many people in leagues that

854
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 3: are probably looking at him on the bench like you're

855
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 3: the reason why I'm not going to the championship.

856
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 4: And the folks who started him shout out to you

857
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 4: rolling the dice because you probably had no depth at

858
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 4: the running back position. You were forced to start him,

859
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 4: and again that looks scary on paper with the Texans defense,

860
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 4: with the way they've been stuffing, the way they've been

861
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 4: suffocating the running back position. It kind of was just like,

862
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 4: you know what it is, what it is, I deserve this.

863
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 3: You know what if I bench Ashton Gent, I made

864
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 3: that high draft investment, I should have started him in

865
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 3: the playoffs.

866
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: Well is, if you started Ashton Gent, then you were

867
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 1: probably cruising through your consolation bracket because that's probably where

868
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: you were as we're starting a Washington GENC all year long.

869
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're talking to a small presentage the people I

870
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 4: have a team where I traded for him, Like the

871
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 4: team that had him was falling out of it, so

872
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 4: I took a shot on him and I did bench

873
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 4: him this week, but I won. Your reward if you

874
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 4: do have him, is he gets the New York Giants Snakes.

875
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: There you, which means he's gonna give you like six Yes,

876
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 1: that's how this works.

877
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 4: Were on this game, man, I don't know about c J. Stroud,

878
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 4: Like I don't know about the Texans. Was that well?

879
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: They were so good until all of a sudden yesterday

880
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: they weren't.

881
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: And I think.

882
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: Just I thought Greg Rosenthal put it really well on

883
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: Blue Sky. It's like when CJ. Stroud is bad, like

884
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 1: he's bad bad, that's kind of it. Like when he's good,

885
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: like when he's peaking, you know, things look really good

886
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, I understand why he was drafted

887
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: where he was.

888
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 4: But when it's bad, it's just it is scary bad

889
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 4: for him. It's the Raiders like all this.

890
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: I got texts from multiple Raider fans who are like,

891
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: they better not win this game.

892
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: Like, what are the Raiders doing? What are the Raiders doing?

893
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 4: They had they almost wanted, man, they almost want it.

894
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 4: The Texans would be legit super Bowl contenders with a

895
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 4: more consistent quarterback. I don't think they win it though,

896
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 4: because of their their offense, Like yeah, I think.

897
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: That's that's going to hold them back for sure, because

898
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: at some point, you gotta score points and they don't.

899
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 4: They don't really do that consistently.

900
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: Lakwan Taysom Hill got twelve carries in a football game?

901
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 4: Why we are all we talking about audreck like Audrey estimate?

902
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: Where is Congress to step in and intervene? What is happening?

903
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 4: How?

904
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 3: I don't know because I was actually in the text

905
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 3: chain with you guys. I'm like, yes, Tyler shuck deep

906
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 3: bomb to Chris Olave And then I look back, I'm like,

907
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 3: why is Taysom Hill throwing these moms?

908
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 4: Why is Taysom Hill even playing? Like?

909
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: Why is Tyler Shuck so meaty?

910
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 4: Boss?

911
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying this, like they know, like they

912
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 3: can utilize him as a tight end, running back, quarterback,

913
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 3: whatever the case may be. But why we don't need

914
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: him in playing quarterback when you have a quarterback that's

915
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 3: playing very well, that threw up three hundred yards Like

916
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 3: there makes no sense why he's even in the playbook

917
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 3: at this point, because I get it. In previous years

918
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 3: the Saints were just got awful and had no players

919
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 3: and had no offensive skill players that had versatility. It's

920
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 3: just one of those things like why are we sticking

921
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 3: him now? Like he needs to be banded. He needs

922
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 3: to be banded from the field. Let him give paycheck

923
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: on the bench. Why is he playing because he's good?

924
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 4: I mean, look, look, look, I think it's it's one

925
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 4: thing to say it's frustrating for fantasy, because it is.

926
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 4: He threw a thirty eight yard touchdown pass, he led

927
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 4: them in rushing yards, and he was their third leading receiver.

928
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 4: And I do think this was a missed opportunity on

929
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,439
Speaker 4: our part because when it's the third and fourth string

930
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 4: running back, clearly Taysom Hill is going to be involved

931
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 4: in the running game. And then on top of that,

932
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 4: what I didn't realize this might be his final game

933
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 4: he plays in New Orleans because they're on the road

934
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 4: the next two. And he said he and his wife

935
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 4: were talking about it all week and they were really

936
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 4: emotional and the team was behind him. We should have

937
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 4: saw this coming as what I'm trying to like, senior.

938
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 2: Day for Taysom Hill.

939
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, Cam Jordan, Cam Jordan as well, he balled

940
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 3: out as well.

941
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we can't use him in fantasy.

942
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 2: No, but.

943
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: Which is not our coworker, though he's got the podcast.

944
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: You know he's got his podcast here, it's a NFL

945
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: media like.

946
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 3: He sacked fifty different quarterbacks. Man, that's that's a great

947
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 3: stat to have on your belt.

948
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 4: Man.

949
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 1: By the way, I saw this screenshot of a tweet

950
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: come through as we were talking earlier, and it fits

951
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: right here right. This is from Jeff Duncan, who is

952
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: one of the Saints beat writers. I'm just going to

953
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: read this verbatim, and I'm gonna as I read this,

954
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 1: I'm going to watch your faces for the reaction here.

955
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: Some folks have asked me about Taysom Hill's Hall of

956
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: Fame worthiness. Less unless something changes, he will not be

957
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: eligible for candidacy. To be considered for the Hall of Fame,

958
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: a player must have at least one recognized postseason honor

959
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: like Pro Bowl or All Pro on his career resume.

960
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 4: Yo, give him Pro Bowl this year just to get

961
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 4: him on the ballot. I mean, so that means Snoop

962
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,439
Speaker 4: Huntley is Hall of Fame.

963
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: Else that means yep, Tyler Huntley has some Hall of

964
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 1: Fame kandacy at candidacy whenever he finally.

965
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 3: Retires, he could be a Fantasy Hall of Famer. Is

966
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 3: there a Fantasy Hall of Fame? Just put him in there,

967
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 3: then Tayo Hill, Yeah, just put tast him in there.

968
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: I think we're doing the all frustration wing of the

969
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: Fantasy Hall of Fame, because that's what that is.

970
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 4: He plays a role that usually is a flash in

971
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 4: the pan, right, Like a guy usually does it for

972
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 4: like six games or a year at the most, and

973
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 4: then it kind of goes.

974
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 3: Like how many different and so coordinators this guy's babs

975
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 3: stuck into the playbook like.

976
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 4: It stinks for fantasy. It annoys us and everything. But

977
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 4: if you like take a step back, it's really cool

978
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 4: that he's been able to keep if the only person

979
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 4: who could keep this role, and he keeps it every

980
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 4: year with a different coordinator.

981
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 2: But is it because he's good or just the Saints

982
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 2: have been bad?

983
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 4: Like do you a combo bowl?

984
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 2: Do you love Chitling's or.

985
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 1: Have you been eating pig guts so long that you

986
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: don't know.

987
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 4: The difference anymore? I don't know what either of those are. Yeah,

988
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 4: what is? You eat them? Obviously I've eaten them once.

989
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 2: They're disgusting. I won't do it again. But that's the

990
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 2: point that's.

991
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 4: He's in New Orleans next year. He's one hundred percent

992
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 4: in Denver, right.

993
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 1: Like, oh yeah, yeah, stop putting this evil out there

994
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: in the world.

995
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could see it now. It looks beautiful. See ye.

996
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 4: I'd rather have Taysom Hill and Evan Ingram right now.

997
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's true.

998
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 1: Well, because Sean Payton will actually drop plays for Taysom Hill.

999
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: He's the only joker that he's ever Actually, I don't

1000
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: want to think about this anymore for har just happens.

1001
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 2: It's been four week seventeen.

1002
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 4: You know.

1003
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: Obviously we'll talk more about it as the week goes along,

1004
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: but do have some big questions early on. First one

1005
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 1: for you, Florio, how worried should we be for Josh

1006
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: Jacobs obviously was less than one hundred percent going against

1007
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens who have improved, They've improved their run defense

1008
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: over the course of the season. How worried should we

1009
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: be if you were maybe starting Josh Jacobs in a championship?

1010
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Ravens have become one of the tougher run

1011
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 4: defenses in football. And I'm not gonna lie like I

1012
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 4: was putting the names together for stardom Sidham yesterday, and

1013
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 4: I looked at Josh Jacobs long, like for a very

1014
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 4: long time, like because I am worried right like, he's

1015
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 4: not fully healthy. It's a tough matchup. We don't know

1016
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 4: if Jordan Love is going to be out there. And

1017
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 4: I get it, a lot of Josh Jacobs managers probably

1018
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 4: got bounced this past week. But if you survived, I

1019
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 4: still I still find it very difficult despite everything I

1020
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 4: just said to get away, Like maybe if you have

1021
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 4: a much like you're a stacked team and you have

1022
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 4: loaded options, sure, but most teams don't have that, and

1023
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 4: I think in that situation you probably still roll the

1024
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 4: dice on Josh Jacobs.

1025
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: And I think that's the thing.

1026
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: I think you're playing him because you probably don't have

1027
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: anybody who's ceiling matches that.

1028
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 4: But man, it's it's scary hours right now for him.

1029
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: Unless unless we get reports that you know, everything is

1030
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 1: great or whatever, he's good to go. But that doesn't

1031
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: seem very likely right now for him. All right, Uh, look,

1032
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: can you start Baker Mayfield against the Dolphins? Baker with

1033
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: fewer than fifteen points and four one?

1034
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah? Sure?

1035
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 4: Because the Packers play Sunday, the Lions play on Christmas.

1036
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 4: If the Lions lose, the Packers clinch the playoffs. That

1037
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 4: also I think factors into the Josh Like if they clinch,

1038
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 4: do they just shut him down?

1039
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: Because yeah, because the chances like them getting a one seed,

1040
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: that's that's out. Yeah, So like I don't think they

1041
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: can change their seed significantly the rest of the way.

1042
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 4: You'd rather get healthy, I'd imagine. Yeah.

1043
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he's battling multiple injuries, so I could see

1044
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,479
Speaker 3: them shutting them down.

1045
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 4: So if you if you have Josh Jacobs and the.

1046
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,919
Speaker 1: Rams to win or the Lions rather to win, yeah,

1047
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah. But back to what I was asking you,

1048
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: Laquon Baker Mayfield against Miami, can you start him next week?

1049
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,720
Speaker 4: Uh? If you're okay with QB two numbers.

1050
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 3: I mean it's a serviceable matchup like we've seen Tyler Schuck,

1051
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 3: We've seen like Joe Burrow explode on them just recently,

1052
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 3: like last week. So I feel like it's a serviceable matchup.

1053
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 3: But Baker has not been good. Like, let's be honest,

1054
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 3: he has not been good. Even with the fully assembled roster.

1055
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 3: He just has not been good in terms of completing

1056
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 3: the ball. It's like, why are you overthrowing this? Why

1057
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 3: are you not having the open wide open? Chris Godwin

1058
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 3: playing out of a slot where that is your friend,

1059
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 3: and it's like, I just feel like Baker right now,

1060
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 3: he can't be trusted in the championship. I hope that

1061
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 3: you have all their alternatives. I hope that you have

1062
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 3: backups that can come in and like really help you out,

1063
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 3: because the Championship, I feel like you're going for ceiling,

1064
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 3: and his ceiling has not been great. It's been QB two.

1065
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 3: It's been low end QB two for most weeks that

1066
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 3: you put him in there, and he's not been the

1067
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 3: guy that has we saw like the MVP. He's like,

1068
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 3: once folks started throwing that, I'll just find a couple

1069
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 3: three weeks. Yeah, it kind of evaporated. It was just like, Okay,

1070
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 3: I play that now. I just don't get it. It's

1071
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,399
Speaker 3: just it's not a comfortable situation right now.

1072
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty rough. Last question here. I'm gonna ask

1073
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: you Florio first and then I'll come back to la

1074
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: Quan and get his thoughts on this. But this was

1075
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: started talking well, I mean we started talking about you know,

1076
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs right, like, do they do the Packers shut

1077
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: him down if they clinch a playoff spot? You know

1078
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: the Rams obviously are in a playoff spot. I know

1079
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: there's still the division and possibly the one seed going

1080
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 1: going along, but they got the Falcons this week and

1081
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't really care what Atlanta did yesterday against Arizona.

1082
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: This is a different beast all together. Is it overthinking

1083
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 1: things to say I don't want to start Matthew Stafford

1084
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: because he might not play all four quarters against Atlanta,

1085
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: And I feel like we do this every single year,

1086
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: but this is Stafford is the guy this year that

1087
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: we're doing and we did it with Tom Brady I

1088
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: think a couple of years ago. Whatever, am I overthinking

1089
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: things by bringing this up?

1090
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 4: I think it's a good conversation to have because fantasy

1091
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 4: managers are probably starting to get concerned about guys getting

1092
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 4: benched and stuff. I do think in this case I

1093
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 4: wouldn't be worried about it, and maybe LQ feels differently,

1094
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 4: but I think twofold. First, the Rams want to get

1095
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford this MVP. I think that has been pretty evident,

1096
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 4: and I think with this past week as well as

1097
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 4: Stafford played, they lost, Drake May played really well on

1098
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 4: Sunday Night Football. I don't. I went on Fantasy Live

1099
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 4: on Friday before the Sunday games, and we're saying, like

1100
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 4: everyone is declaring the MVP raceover, that is foolish, Like

1101
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 4: it is not. But this is Stafford's last chance to

1102
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 4: showcase it. And I don't think what happens in Week eighteen,

1103
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 4: for really either team will influence the MVP voting a

1104
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 4: whole lot. So I do think they're going to showcase

1105
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 4: Stafford on Monday Night Football in a fantastic matchup. And

1106
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 4: if he does come out and doesn't play the full

1107
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 4: four quarters, I think it's because the Rams are blowing

1108
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 4: them out so badly that they're just like, Okay, this

1109
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 4: is it. But if they're getting to that point, Matthew

1110
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 4: Stafford is going to give you numbers. So I think,

1111
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 4: like I have Puka, I haven't even obviously not, but like,

1112
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 4: like I haven't really been worried about this. I think

1113
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 4: week eighteen the Rams should probably shut everyone down and

1114
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 4: kind of get that built in bye week. But I

1115
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 4: don't think you want to do it two weeks in

1116
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 4: a row, because then you risk going into the playoffs

1117
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 4: a little rusty and stuff like that.

1118
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, in any real shot that that, you know,

1119
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: Stafford just sort of plays three quarters and then shuts

1120
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: it down in the fourth or something, that would.

1121
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 4: Probably mean they're blowing them out.

1122
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 3: And like Stafford's probably sitting with a twenty burger at

1123
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 3: that point if he's you know, going out their scoring.

1124
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 3: So I wouldn't worry about it, Like I do think

1125
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 3: that I agree with Florio, like this is gonna be

1126
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 3: Monday night primetime. MBP race has been wrapped up personally

1127
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 3: since October, but I would just say, I would just

1128
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 3: say over, yeah, it's been dead since October. Like we

1129
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:05,399
Speaker 3: constantly do.

1130
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 2: This, even crashing out in text chains about it.

1131
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 4: Because haven't even checked the odds. Is he still a

1132
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 4: favorite or probably absolutely a lot of people.

1133
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 3: I've seen two names. I've seen two names that I'm

1134
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 3: just like, are we serious?

1135
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 4: Like justin Herbert and Millions, I was, you know what

1136
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 4: I was. And I've seen Trevor Lawrence get hell.

1137
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: I praised me for showing her straight because I almost

1138
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: texted you about, hey man, there's a quarterback in Los

1139
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: Angeles who wears blue and yellow. That's an m VP

1140
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 1: candidate and was going to send you to Justin Herbert Stuf.

1141
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 3: What I'm talking about this, I was just talking at

1142
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 3: this point, like just stop. It's annoying, Like stop, Okay,

1143
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 3: I accepted the Josh Allen and Drake may fake campaigns.

1144
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying it is close.

1145
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 4: I'm just looking at it, right, and this isn't my opinion,

1146
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 4: l Q. I'm just looking I just up he is

1147
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 4: still a favorite, but it's very close.

1148
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: Anyway, Well, we'll take a break and you know, we'll

1149
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 1: think through this and come back with some waiver wire

1150
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 1: stuff as we wrap things up on the NFL Fantasy

1151
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: Football Podcast. All Right, so this is for most leagues

1152
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: because friends don't let friends play Week eighteen, this is

1153
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: the last round of waiver runs, right, the last time

1154
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,879
Speaker 1: you can do drops and ads before you get ready

1155
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: for your championship week. So it's a little bit different

1156
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: because you know you're not stashing guys for any future opportunities.

1157
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: There is no tomorrow. Literally, I mean there's a tomorrow,

1158
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:36,240
Speaker 1: but you know what I'm saying.

1159
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 2: So, oh sorry you Lakwanda Floor.

1160
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,280
Speaker 1: You can follow up, like, do you have any tips

1161
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: on how people should approach waivers this week.

1162
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 3: Chase opportunity, not big names, Like I feel like opportunity

1163
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 3: is what matters, and like the ceilings are the ultimate,

1164
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 3: like goal this week, Like you need to get guys

1165
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 3: that have the ultimate ceilings and not say floors, so

1166
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 3: you're close to key, you know, the Keenan Allen's, Like

1167
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 3: these are the guys that are not going to give

1168
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:04,760
Speaker 3: you those high ceilings.

1169
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 4: You need to go out there and shoot for the

1170
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 4: stars this week, like put it all on the line,

1171
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 4: all right, Florida.

1172
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 2: Anything to add to that.

1173
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this week is insanely unique because there's

1174
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 4: no tomorrow, like you said, So if you have handcuffs

1175
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 4: or whatever they're they're droppable because you're not anyone you're

1176
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 4: not starting this week as long as you're confident that

1177
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 4: your opponent won't pick them up and start them against you.

1178
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,399
Speaker 4: It is drole and anyone that you are starting, if

1179
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 4: that includes a kicker or a defense, they're now your

1180
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 4: top priority. And then my second top priority is anyone

1181
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 4: that my opponent has. Like this past week, I had

1182
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 4: fab left and my opponent didn't, and I knew he

1183
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 4: was looking to the stream a running back, so I

1184
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 4: picked up Michael Carter and Jordan and all the guys

1185
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 4: that were available that might be streaming options so that

1186
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 4: I could block my opponent. And now I'm gonna be

1187
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 4: looking to do the same thing this week, and then

1188
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 4: after that if you want to add your favorite player

1189
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 4: or whoever you can, because the bench literally doesn't matter,

1190
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 4: like it's just who you're starting this.

1191
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think I've done that before, Like

1192
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 3: I've just quarterbacks that are no longer in the league

1193
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,959
Speaker 3: just to have a championship and have them on my bench.

1194
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 4: It looks cool, like.

1195
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 2: And then to man, yeah I really did.

1196
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:26,720
Speaker 1: Man. Yeah, guys, look, if you are we get a

1197
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 1: particular position, you know, I would definitely get a couple

1198
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: of potential streaming options there, whether it's tight end defense,

1199
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: kicker you mentioned, you know, like if you're not sure,

1200
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: give yourself a couple of options, right, so you go

1201
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 1: into Thursday or Saturday or Sunday or Monday with some

1202
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,919
Speaker 1: choices about what you think could be the best option

1203
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: for you.

1204
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 4: So so I would I would do that.

1205
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 2: So, uh, for one last time, Kwan, who are we

1206
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 2: dropping off our rosters?

1207
00:55:55,520 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 3: Rico dattle Listen, it has been disgusting the Panthers game

1208
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 3: completely fell off a cliff, so I'm okay with dropping him,

1209
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 3: even if you're rostering Cuba, like they're kind of just

1210
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 3: eating each other live at this point and crazy enough,

1211
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 3: in the last three games, Tuba Hubber has more yards

1212
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 3: with less opportunities on the field than Rico Daddles, so

1213
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 3: he's kind of fell completely off of the cliff. No

1214
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 3: reason to even try to think about starting him because

1215
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 3: it's pretty much over for the Panthers run game.

1216
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 4: Yah yea, it's pretty bad.

1217
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 2: At first.

1218
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: I was surprised when I saw this Floria, but then

1219
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,479
Speaker 1: I was like, nah, it did make sense.

1220
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I it's a mecha abuka, And I agree

1221
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 4: with what LQ was saying earlier, like Baker don't really

1222
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 4: want to. I think right now Mike Evans is the

1223
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 4: only Buck I would want to start with confidence. I

1224
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 4: think you're trying to get him that thousand. Yeah, I

1225
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 4: think he's like six hundred yards short of it or

1226
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 4: something like that. He can do it. I will say

1227
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:52,919
Speaker 4: I didn't have the the bravity of whatever you want

1228
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 4: to call it to say sit Bucky, only because it's

1229
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 4: against the Dolphins and they have been ran all over

1230
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,959
Speaker 4: all year, but I don't love the way they're using

1231
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 4: that backfield and with a Mecca Buca. I know he

1232
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 4: was their leading receiver yesterday, but he had two targets

1233
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 4: and this has been a long time where it's just

1234
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 4: falling off of a cliff. Him and Baker aren't on

1235
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 4: the right page. I don't want to play him this week,

1236
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 4: so I'm going to drop him to ensure that I don't.

1237
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's funny because he was we were like

1238
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: the start of the year, We're like, oh, I'm not

1239
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: got Buca. He's runaway offensive rookie of the Year, and

1240
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: then it just sort of fell apart, and now you know,

1241
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: I think I think tetor Ro McMillan's probably your O

1242
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: ro o yuh at this point.

1243
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:35,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just based on what he's.

1244
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: He's been a lot more consistent than he's had some

1245
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: bigger games as the season especially.

1246
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, if they were in the division, mine's

1247
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 4: Keenan Allen.

1248
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: I was. I was shocked to see he's still on

1249
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: like eighty percent of rosters on NFL dot Com. I

1250
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: still believe I think it's just the name, right, It's

1251
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: just Keenan Allen has held us down for so many years.

1252
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 4: Let's not forget.

1253
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 2: He had a hot start to the season.

1254
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: You know, he had what touchdowns in each of the

1255
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,919
Speaker 1: first three games, had a few double digit games on there.

1256
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 3: He was averaging like twenty something fantasy points per game,

1257
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 3: and you know, and then the start of the season,

1258
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 3: I remember, Yeah.

1259
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,919
Speaker 1: But since the start of Week eight, he's had one

1260
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: game with more than fifty receiving yards and Trey Harris

1261
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: is starting to eat more into his opportunities weekly. So

1262
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: this is just one of those things where I get

1263
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: it Keenan Allen's been a really good player and a

1264
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: really good fantasy option for a long time. This also,

1265
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: just looking at his game logs and his usage, this

1266
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: feels like one of those things where at the end

1267
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: of the season, like he just drops his retirement announcement

1268
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: right like, we're gonna we're gonna get on, We're gonna

1269
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: get on social media on you know, X or blue

1270
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: sky or Instagram is just gonna be that you know,

1271
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: blue background with white text about like, I'm so proud

1272
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: of the opportunity. I'm thankful for the opportunities the Chargers

1273
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: organizations have given me. And because it's also fitting right,

1274
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 1: he gets to he could putuly retire with the same

1275
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: team that drafted him.

1276
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 2: You know, he had the one.

1277
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: Little uh, you know, sabbatical outside of the Chargers and

1278
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 1: then comes back.

1279
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 2: It's you know, it's also perfect.

1280
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: This feels like like Keenan rides off into the sunset. Yeah,

1281
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: after the playoffs, and then you know, then Trey Harris

1282
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: becomes the guy there with with Latin QJ.

1283
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 4: This is pretty cool. Actually, twenty thirty. Uh, Philip Rivers

1284
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 4: and Keenan Allen would then be Hall of Fame and chuck, wow, that.

1285
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:24,919
Speaker 2: Kind of cool.

1286
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: Like, I don't I don't think Keenan gets in the

1287
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, but it'd be kind of cool to

1288
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 1: have them on the ballot together.

1289
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope he does. I'm not sure if he does.

1290
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 4: I hope Rivers does as well.

1291
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 2: I think Rivers does. I don't.

1292
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't think Keenan Allen he's the Hall of Very Good,

1293
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's a Hall of Fame time.

1294
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 4: I mean the Hall of very Good. Hopefully Tory Holt will.

1295
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 3: Be in the Hall of Fame by then, because the

1296
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 3: Hall of very Good Tory Holt deserves to be in.

1297
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 4: Man come on.

1298
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got abroad with big game, Tory Holt being

1299
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: in there, that's fine, all hands maybe all right?

1300
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 2: So waiver wire.

1301
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 4: Who's who's on the waiver wire for Week seventeen? Quarterbacks?

1302
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 4: If you need a streamer, Tyler Show, who's just been

1303
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 4: balling out as of late. Cam Ward don't look now,

1304
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 4: but multiple touchdowns in three straight games, Kirk Couz. It's

1305
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 4: because quarterback is pretty thin if you need a streamer,

1306
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 4: and he could be in a game where he has

1307
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 4: to throw a ton and then JJ McCarthy if he's

1308
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 4: able to play, it is a good matchup on paper.

1309
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 4: Running Backs, Ramandre Stevenson gets the Jets next week, so

1310
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 4: if Trevion's out, I just think Stevenson is a straight

1311
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 4: up start. Michael Carter didn't have the biggest day, but

1312
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 4: volume was on his side. And then the Browns running

1313
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 4: backs we've already discussed. I like Dylan Samson if he's active.

1314
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 4: If not, it'll be a combination of Raheem Sanders and

1315
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 4: Travion Williams, who both of which sound like if you

1316
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:40,919
Speaker 4: said those names, you'd be like, no, that's I'm getting

1317
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 4: two players confused, But no, those are real players and

1318
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 4: then wide receiver Parker Washington and Mac Collins. Washington has

1319
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 4: been balling out. Mac Collins is clearly their number two

1320
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 4: option behind Steph Diggs. And then tight ends Dalton Schultz

1321
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 4: again another big game, or not as big as the

1322
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 4: week before, but still just can assistant and overlooked Darren

1323
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 4: Waller gets another good matchup, and then uh, Taysom Hill

1324
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 4: because if you need a tight end streamer, the floor

1325
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 4: is low, but the upside is high with him.

1326
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 3: He imagine you lose, Imagine you lose to a Taysom

1327
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 3: Hill game in the championship.

1328
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 4: Oh my muck one way or another, you know, like,

1329
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 4: like seriously, if I lose that, oh my gosh, I

1330
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 4: don't want to put that in the universe because I'm

1331
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 4: still in it.

1332
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 2: Damn, We're Reverends Show. It's time for Harold fannin Watch.

1333
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: For those of you who don't remember, way back last February,

1334
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:41,240
Speaker 1: I believe it was in the spring, Lakwan here said

1335
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 1: that if Harold Fannin junior finished as a top five

1336
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 1: tight end that he would die his hair blonde. This comes, obviously,

1337
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 1: after a year in which you guyed your hair blonde.

1338
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Because John new Smith finished as a top five tight end.

1339
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: So after a big game in Week sixteen, of course,

1340
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: Haeryld Fannin right now is tight end.

1341
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 2: He is less than a point.

1342
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: He is point eight points behind brock Bowers for the

1343
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: tight end five spot. So currently it's Trey McBride at one,

1344
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: Kyle pits it two, which, by the way is you know,

1345
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: even the most optimistic Kyle Pitts person would not have

1346
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: had him as tight end two at this point. Kyle

1347
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 1: Pitts is two, Travis Kelsey is three, Jake Ferguson is

1348
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: number four, you got Bowers at five, and Harold Finnon

1349
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: right on his tail for he's that number five spot.

1350
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: And let's see, let's look at who who are these

1351
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: two guys playing.

1352
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 4: He's within five points till two of Ferguson and Kelsey,

1353
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 4: so like he's got three opportunities to jump in the

1354
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 4: top five.

1355
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 2: So he's got the.

1356
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 4: This is insane.

1357
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 2: He's got the Steelers.

1358
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Next week, Fannin does the Steelers giving up the third

1359
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: most Fantasy points two tight ends this year. So it's

1360
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: a really good matchup for Harold fan And meanwhile brock Bauers,

1361
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: who admittedly look brock Bowers went out and gave you

1362
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: fourteen again the Texans, which I don't think anybody would

1363
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: have anticipated. Bowers has the Giants next week, and weirdly,

1364
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: the Giants have been kind of good against tight ends, like.

1365
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 4: All lining up right, he could have a dude Giants.

1366
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 1: Giving up the fewest points to the tight end position,

1367
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: so like we could have a flip flopping of it.

1368
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 4: The one to watch, I think is Travis Kelsey because

1369
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 4: he put up like one point one point or whatever

1370
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 4: it was this past.

1371
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 2: He's got the Broncos this week.

1372
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 4: This is so like, what's your shade.

1373
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 2: Of blonde are? Is it?

1374
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: Like?

1375
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 3: Is it like a strawberry? I like the strawberry blonde?

1376
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 3: Look the strawberry blonde. Is it fits the brand? So

1377
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:51,439
Speaker 3: we still we did.

1378
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 4: We saw your lovely wife recently and we we didn't

1379
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 4: lose that that you said it was permanent die this

1380
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,919
Speaker 4: time too, and she was like, I don't know why

1381
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 4: he keeps doing this to him.

1382
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, credibility, baby, that's man, you.

1383
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Are the tight and was like, here's like I'm waiting

1384
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 1: for you, Like we should we suld actually build a

1385
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 1: whole segment next year during the spring where you can

1386
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: announce who is your tight end you're picked to click at.

1387
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 1: Next year we'll do We'll get like a music sting

1388
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: for it. Maybe we can have somebody make graphics or whatever.

1389
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: We can make it a whole social clip that you

1390
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: announce who your tight end is and then like we'll

1391
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 1: see how quickly this this person rockets up a DP draft.

1392
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 4: Boards and stuff. I keep thinking to the first time

1393
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 4: you have to like go talk to your kids teacher

1394
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 4: or something like that, and it's just blonde with this guy.

1395
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 4: It's a lot of explaining to be like, well, you know,

1396
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 4: I do a podcast and I said that this player

1397
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 4: would be top five, and then like they're just gonna

1398
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 4: think you wanted to dye your hair blonde.

1399
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it's starting to look like at this point.

1400
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 3: But no, like seriously, even in February when I said it,

1401
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 3: I was just literally just doing the deep dive on

1402
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 3: the tight ends the prospects, and I'm looking at this guy.

1403
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, yo, he reminds me a ton of John

1404
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 3: new Like his playing style, his ability out there catching

1405
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 3: everything that we've seen this season, he has matched that

1406
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 3: type of energy, and I'm like, oh crap.

1407
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 4: I did it again.

1408
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, did it again, so hopefully there's no John new

1409
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 3: type you know coming out of next year stratgy.

1410
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: Or or just don't threaten to dye your hair blondet.

1411
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 4: I didn't like change up the color because if it

1412
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 4: would have been like orange or right. Actually, ser the

1413
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 4: funny thing is one you do it me and Marcus

1414
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 4: don't ask you to do it, like you just bring

1415
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 4: it upon yourself. But also there's no there's no reward

1416
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,440
Speaker 4: for you because like you don't want to dye your

1417
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 4: hair blonde, and there's nothing like well if it doesn't happen,

1418
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:52,959
Speaker 4: like it's just.

1419
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 3: Your It was one of those things that you know,

1420
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 3: you know, our folks in Australia are international listeners.

1421
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 4: They were just hitting the DM like, bro, you got

1422
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 4: to dye your hair, man, you gotta do it.

1423
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 3: Man, stick to your word, and like they were looking

1424
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 3: forward to the next you know, tight end that they

1425
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 3: should target and I kind of just put it in

1426
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 3: like in February, thinking like, no, it's a rookie, it

1427
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 3: won't happen, and it's the Browns. He ended up all

1428
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 3: on top of that with David the joker.

1429
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 2: That's the wildest part.

1430
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: Like he didn't have a team when you said that, yeah,

1431
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: it was just prospect.

1432
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 4: He didn't have a team yet. That's that's even crazier.

1433
