1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: Yea, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show, presented by Draft King. That's made

3
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: your man MG Marcus grand masking and socially distancing when

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: and where necessary. And we are now officially into Week

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: two of the NFL season. We thought we learned a

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff from Week one. We'll talk about

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: some of that a little bit later on in the show.

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Of course, we will have some of your starts and

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: sits getting ready for Week two, will also preview the

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: Thursday night football game, and a whole lot more. But

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: before we dive into any of that, let's talk to

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: our faithful producer, Seenor Edward L. Murphy esquire. So, Murphy,

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: I know the Giants took a loss in Week one,

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: but I think if you're watching from a fans perspective,

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: there had to be some things that that you took

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: out of it that we're sort of encouraging your thoughts

17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: without a doubt. Um, you gotta look at you You're

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: playing a defense that you could argue as the top

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: defensive league. I mean just loaded at every level. Um,

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, rookie head coach, you have Jason Garrett Collin

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: plays the first time since twelve. So yeah, there's a

22
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: lot of things I did. Like they had zero blocking

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: from the center positions, zero logging from their right tackle position,

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: and really just one awful interception in the red zone

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: and change the whole outcome of the game. But if

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: you told me before this game started we got a

27
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: chance to win, I'd be pleased. Um a lot different

28
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: than the turn of nineteen Giants, Like that was an

29
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: incompetent football team. This team looks like they're ready to

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: at least be competitive in in most games on their schedule. Yeah,

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: I know the two New Jersey teams. I guess you

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: want to come the two teams at the meadow Lands.

33
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: They both took losses on Sunday or over the weekend,

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 1: but the one of them looked vastly better than the other.

35
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: So I think you're right. There's reason, if you are

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: a big Blue fan, this reason to be encouraged. So

37
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: I think it could takeaway from week one there. All right,

38
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: let's turn our attention to the start of week two.

39
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: I guess we'd have some aftermath from week one. Actually,

40
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: before we do that, reminded that you can't still sign

41
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,760

Speaker 1: fantasy football with NFL dot Com this year. All right,

46
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: we are joined by our normal Wednesday co hosted is

47
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: the one and only Adam Rank and uh Man, the

48
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: Bears gotta win. Mitch Dubinsky looks great, and all that

49
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: talk about a quarterback competition can now just be pushed

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: to the back burner, right, miracle, Mitch, extend him now.

51
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: I think it's what we're gonna do. Can we still? Though?

52
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: There was a lot to unpack from our from our

53
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: guy Eddie Eddie Murphy there. First of all, Eddie, listen,

54
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: I shaved my head long, long ago, and I'm gonna

55
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: tell you the same thing that I tell Lebron James.

56
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: It's okay to shave it. The hairpiece is unbecoming because

57
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: I only can assume that was a hairpiece. And what

58
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: is it with millennials or gen Z kids who want

59
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: to wear the sweats the zip up, the full zip

60
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: up sweatshirt with no shirt underneath it? What is it

61
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: thing like every time I watched like The Bachelor or

62
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: Big Brother. Every millennial has got a zip up sweatshirt

63
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: with no word under it. And I gotta tell you, what,

64
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: when did this become a thing. I know I'm an

65
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: old guy, but when did this become a thing? I mean,

66
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: it sounds like jealousy, is what it sounds like that.

67
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you can do it too, right, you can.

68
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't have a shirt on either,

69
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: but at least I have the common decency to have it.

70
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: You know, a hoodie on that comes up to my

71
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: neck and I'm not sitting here, you know, rocking like

72
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: end Zoe on Big Brother All Stars. That that reference

73
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: just I missed that one. I completely totally missed that one.

74
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's look at doing some fantasy and news

75
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: headlines here. There's some things that have happened in the

76
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: last few days that are certainly going to impact fantasy

77
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: teams over the next week. The first one down in

78
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Michael Thomas suffered a high ankle sprain in

79
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: Sunday's when over the Buccaneers. Now the reports are he's

80
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: expected to miss several weeks. We talked about this a

81
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: little bit on Fantasy Live on Tuesday. First off, does

82
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: this make Emmanuel Sanders a must start with no Michael

83
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: Thomas there. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how they

84
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: distribute the targets. One of the guys that I'm probably

85
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: looking at the most in a dish into Emmanuel Sanders

86
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: is Jared Cook, who is already off to a pretty good,

87
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: pretty decent start, so I expect him to be more

88
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: involved in the offense. It's gonna be even more annoying

89
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: when Taysom Hill starts getting some run and they still

90
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: have what is it, Marquez Callaway and some other players

91
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: track uns there as well, I believe, And so it'll

92
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: be interesting the way they distribute it because they lost

93
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: the guy that had a hundred and fifty receptions like

94
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: you don't throw up it, like what that's you don't

95
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: use your other talk, like what is going on? So

96
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how they adjust. Yeah, I think

97
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna be interesting. I do love Emmanuel Sanders this week.

98
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: I thought he showed last week that he's gonna fit

99
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: in very nicely in this offense. And they've got a

100
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: great match up against the Raiders, who they got beat

101
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: up a little bit by that Panther's passing game, and

102
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: so I think that the Saints can certainly do that

103
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: or more this week against the last. Let's say I

104
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: was gonna say Oakland Las Vegas, um, so I know,

105
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: I know I have to put a quarter in the

106
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: jar if I do that. So I love Emmanuel Sanders.

107
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: If you've got him on your roster, I think this

108
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: is definitely the week to get him. Man if for

109
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: some weird reason he's still floating around on your waiver wire,

110
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: go pick him up, because he's gonna be worth an ad.

111
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: I think the rest of those targets there, they're gonna

112
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: kind of spread it around and it's gonna be hard,

113
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: I think to pinpoint who gets all that activity. It'll

114
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: be curious to see how long Michael Thomas is out

115
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: because we know those high ankle sprains they tend to linger.

116
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: That's uh, that is something to certainly keep an eye

117
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: on because it could be a few weeks before we

118
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 1: see him back in the lineup again. Yeah, it's certainly

119
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the most annoying situations because again

120
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: the Saints will be super creative and Littavius Murray will

121
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: end up rushing for a hundred and twenty yards revenge

122
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: game for Littavius Murray. There there's all sorts of things

123
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: going on there, Uh, no doubt in New York, New Jersey,

124
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: Florham Park, wherever you wanna call it, Levon Bell regardless,

125
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: he is going to miss a couple of weeks. In fact,

126
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: he's been put on injured reserve with a hamstring injury,

127
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: which means he's got to sit at a minimum of

128
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: three games. So if you've got Leve Bell on your roster,

129
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: what's the next move? Why did you have him? Now?

130
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: I want to shame everybody that thought this was a

131
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: good idea to take Lavia. But I told you, like listen,

132
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: I know that I get some things wrong, but I

133
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: was spot on here. I said, you don't want any

134
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: part of Avian Bell number one because he's been battling

135
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: an injury. You got the Adam Gay situation as well,

136
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: So obviously Frank Gore is gonna come in and be

137
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: the starter. Right now. They brought in Kaylin Balage, and

138
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: you know that that this must be the dream of

139
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: ownership because for some reason you saw Adam Gaze twice

140
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: a year and then decided like, yeah, we should really

141
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: hire that guy. That's that's that's what's been holding us

142
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: back all these years is not having Adam Gaze and

143
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: it drives me crazy. And I'm not gonna go through

144
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: the normal Adam Gaze joke that I do. But it's awful.

145
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sure it is, and I'm I'm sure I've

146
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: probably heard it. And if you started it, I wouldn't

147
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: know the punch line before you know what. Actually, I'm

148
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna start it. Then here's the thing about

149
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze that I don't under stand is his claim

150
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 1: to fame is that he helped get the best seasons

151
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: out of Peyton Manning and Jay Cutler. So this is

152
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: what he did. He got the best seasons out of

153
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. And so

154
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: what you made me do it you forced me into it. Listen,

155
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: I come out, Listen. I'm gonna go do a show

156
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: at Common Space Brewery through Zoom in October and I'm

157
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to pull out all the hits. And so

158
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Marcus, like, come onto your show. I'm gonna

159
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: do the hits because the fans demanded. You think Dutton.

160
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Neil Dunton would have been upset had I not done that. Mamadina,

161
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: she would be all over us if I didn't do that, Joe,

162
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, I mean when you when you go

163
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: see Leonard Skinner, they gotta play freebird. I mean, that's

164
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: just the way it is. Those are the rules there,

165
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: so I understand it. By the way, anybody in the

166
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: l A area Common Sprest Brewery should go check it out.

167
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm not getting sponsored for that, but the beggers it's

168
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: very good, I am. I mean order Pittsburgh, James Conner

169
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: left the Monday night game against the Giants with an

170
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: ankle injury. I know Mike Tomlin has said what is

171
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: the quote we're leaving the light on which apparently he's

172
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: running a motel six. I have no idea would say

173
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: the brand name Marcus, Oh my bad, a familiar chain

174
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: of low cost road motels. Uh So, if if James

175
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Connor can't go this week for the Steelers, Benny Snell

176
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: looks like he's going to step in. Would you be

177
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: interested in putting Snell in your lineup with if there's

178
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: no Connor? Absolutely, I it's pretty fun when you're going

179
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: through late on a Tuesday evening trying to do your

180
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: waiver claims and you're like, oh my gosh, I gotta

181
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: pick up Benny Snell And you're like, oh, he's already

182
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: on my roster. How about that? I felt pretty good

183
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: about myself. See, now, James Conner was a risk I

184
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: was willing to take given the draft price, because he's

185
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: on a good offense, that with a with a coach

186
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: who's proven, in a quarterback who's proven. So I felt

187
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: willing to take that risk, and I'll wear that one.

188
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: Like guy. I was willing to give James Conner what

189
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: the price was. So I just made sure that Benny

190
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: Snell was somebody that I had on my roster because

191
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: what we saw on Monday night, and again, the Giants

192
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: are still trying to find their way defensively, They've got

193
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: a first year coordinator. It's gonna take a little bit

194
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: of time. But I thought that Snell looked pretty good.

195
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: And so if you have him and he's going to

196
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: be the starting running back, I don't hate the matchup

197
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: this week against the Denver Broncos. Yeah, I mean there

198
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: were only three running backs that that reached the hundred

199
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: yards rushing this week, and Benny Snell was one of them,

200
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Clyde Edwards, Hilaire and Derrick Henry. Yeah, I

201
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: mean I think that's how we have to say it

202
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: now all year long. By the way, thank you. Uh So,

203
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: Benny snow is one of the three guys who had

204
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: a hundred rushing yards, which sort of begs the question, right.

205
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they like James Conner and they

206
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: know they have really tried to, you know, promote him

207
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: as the number one running back, but the injuries keep happening.

208
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, is there a chance that maybe Benny Snell

209
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: ends up taking this gig over at some point during

210
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: the year if if Connor can't stay healthy. Yeah, I

211
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: really do believe at some point they're going to have

212
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: a committee. At the best case scenario, I don't believe

213
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: that we're gonna be an in a position where James

214
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: Conner is going to carry the ball twenty five times

215
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: a game. And that was, you know, kind of the

216
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: risk coming into this thing. But that's that's a lot

217
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: of running back situations. Austin Ekeler's in a time share,

218
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: like there's a handful of guys, which is why they

219
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: go at the top of the drafts who have their

220
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: own backfield to themselves, So I really do. I look

221
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: at the offense. I don't mind being in a committee

222
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: situation as long as the team is good, you know

223
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, Yeah, the Steelers are probably gonna

224
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: score some points. I'm okay with it. I know that

225
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: James Conner I didn't draft him as my RB one,

226
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: but I think it's gonna be a situation you're gonna

227
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: have to deal with all year, and I think we

228
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: kind of expected it a little bit. Yeah, and I

229
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: think I think you made the important point. It's okay

230
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: to have a committee running back in a good offense.

231
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: The Steelers are gonna be in situations I think, well,

232
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: they will be able to run the football a lot

233
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: in the second half, So that means Bennie Snell should

234
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: get some opportunities or James Conner whoever he is. Uh,

235
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: They're still gonna be in the game script as opposed

236
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: to getting a committee back in a bad offense where

237
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: they may get game scripted out at some point during

238
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: this season. George Kittle, he has got a knee spraining

239
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: right now, He's uncertain for a Week two against the

240
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: New York Meetropolitans. I know Kyle Shanahanna said they're gonna

241
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: wait and see what happens in practice before they assess

242
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: this any further. But the big story with the Niners

243
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: this offseason has been injuries, especially among their pass catchers.

244
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: They've lost a number of wide receivers. They're hoping Deebo

245
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Samuel comes back really soon. Now they're looking at maybe

246
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: not having George Kittle this week. How do they split

247
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: targets if George Kittle can't play for them? Yeah, he

248
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: is their number one pass catcher. And I know that

249
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: this is one that's kind of devastating because the forty Niners,

250
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, already had a deficit at the wide

251
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: receiver position. They brought in Mohammed Sanu. We saw what

252
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: happened with him in New England last year didn't quite

253
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: work out. But Snu has the familiarity and that's the

254
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: word that we throw around a lot. But Kyle Shanahan's

255
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: bringing in a player that he's familiar with and so

256
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna come in and get some chances right

257
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: off the start. So we, sir, only need George Kittle

258
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: back in our lives it's been terrible for the tight

259
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: end position because George Kittle was a player that I

260
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: always advocated for him and Travis Kelsey I think it

261
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: was a great you should draft them at the top

262
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: of drafts. I don't think you should do that. And

263
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: the guy I was waiting on if I missed out

264
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: on them was Blake Jarwin, who's now done for the

265
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: rest of the season. So it's a it's already here

266
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: in week two. It's a dire situation for two of

267
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: the two tight ends I was very high on coming

268
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: into this season. Yeah, my late round tight ends have

269
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: been hit or missed. I mean, Mike GASICKI was not great.

270
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: In week one. You mentioned Blake Jarwin, he got hurt.

271
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: I say, John hu Smith caught a touchdown, so that's

272
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: sort of he was. That made me feel a little

273
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: bit better about it. But yeah, we need George Kittle

274
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: back in our lives because I always say the tight

275
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: we always say the tight end position is deep in August,

276
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: and then we get to October and it thins out enormously.

277
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: If we lose Kittle, then it's gonna fin out in

278
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: a hurry. At the top of the back there, may

279
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: I say something, and this is fantasy related, so I'm

280
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: not just putting out a filibuster or anything like that.

281
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: Number One Logan Thomas out targeted Jeremy Sprinkle and looked

282
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: really good in Week one against the Philadelphia Eagles. I

283
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: don't believe that there's a team that's given up more

284
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns to tight ends in the Arizona Cardinals over the

285
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 1: last couple of years. So I think that could be

286
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: a pretty good option for you this week. And I listen,

287
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you this, ignore the hat I

288
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: was wearing. Jimmy Graham was heavily involved. No, he was

289
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: heavily involved in the Bears game plan and legitimately could

290
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: have had a pair of touchdowns last week. I don't

291
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: know how long that's gonna and by the way he

292
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: could have it could have been even better. There were

293
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: two key plays where he miss timed his jump that

294
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: had he made the catch, one of them would have

295
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: extended a drive, and then who knows what would have happened.

296
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: He might have actually gotten in the end zone on

297
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: that one, and then there was another one I think

298
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: it was near the end zone. So he is heavily

299
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: involved in an offense and I know everybody wanted to

300
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: make their jokes that the Bears had fifty five tight

301
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: ends in on their camp, But he is somebody that

302
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: Mitch Robinski is looking for. And again with the dire

303
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: circumstances of all these tight ends who are having injuries,

304
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: he's somebody to look out for. You talk about those

305
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: late night Tuesday waiver wire scrolls. I found myself in

306
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: more than one league looking at Jimmy Graham's name and

307
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: wondering if I should pick the ad button. I absolutely did.

308
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: I absolutely did. An if he's out there in another

309
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: day or two and I'm still looking for tighten help,

310
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: I may just have to go on smad button for

311
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. That's that's the world we live in right now.

312
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I was. I'm scooping him up like that's

313
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: the one because I missed out on John news Smith

314
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: on a lot of them, or Noah Fan or somebody

315
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: like that, and so I'm having to go in and

316
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: look at Logan Thomas or Jimmy Graham. This is where

317
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: we are speaking of tight ends. David and Joeku is

318
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: on injured reserve. He's got a knee injury. They hope

319
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: that he'll be able to go in three weeks. They

320
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: went out and got Austin Hooper in the off season,

321
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: and I thought that was gonna be a weird fit

322
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: for Hooper just because he was gonna have to compete there.

323
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: But now that we know there's no in Joku for

324
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: at least three weeks, what does this do to you

325
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: think to Austin Hooper's opportunities? Yeah, that was wild when

326
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: he threw that ball to David and Joku, and you're like, yeah,

327
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: that's that's about right. That's what we figured. But I

328
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: thought that we were kind of apprehensive about Austin Hooper

329
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: and Marcus. I think this goes back to the shows

330
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: that we are doing in August, and we even talked

331
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: about this situation where Austin Hooper is probably going to

332
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: make the Browns a better football team, but you can't

333
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: expect him to go out there and have the kind

334
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: of production that he had with the Atlanta Falcons. And

335
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: even if he is the number one guy, what is

336
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: he the fourth best option in the passing attack? I

337
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: would obviously have O B. J above him, Jarvis Landry,

338
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt, and then you get to Austin Hooper So

339
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: for me, even given the dire circumstances of what's going

340
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: on with the tight end position, I'm not sure I'm

341
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: ready to take a risk on Austin Hooper just yet.

342
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: He's the fourth option in a passing game that looked

343
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: brutal on Sunday too. And and look and maybe they

344
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: get better. Look it was week one, they were facing

345
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: a very good defense in the Baltimore Ravens. So there's, sir,

346
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: only a story to tell yourself that the Browns will

347
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: get better throwing the football. But man, I mean, we

348
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: talk about having running back committees and a bad offense.

349
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: To have the fourth passing option in a bad passing game,

350
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty awful too. So you're right, not ideal,

351
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: not idea. Probably staying away from Austin Cooper as well.

352
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: We will talk some more Thursday Night football coming up

353
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: a little bit later on in the show. It is

354
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: Bengals Day, Brown's number one pick versus number one pick

355
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: A J versus O b J. I think I've read

356
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: that promo like five times this weekend. It's started to

357
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: stick in my head a little bit, So stay tuned

358
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: for more of that as we get through the show.

359
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: A little bit more, all right. Today's show is sponsored

367
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: fantasy football if you don't learn from what happened the

368
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: week before. So we're gonna talk about some of the

369
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: things that we may or may not have learned after

370
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: the full slate of Week one games. And the first

371
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: one for me is easy. All offseason long, you saw

372
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: the hashtag let Russ Cook. We had been asking the

373
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks to unleash him, and they did. He had four

374
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. Looks fantastic and they went over the Falcons.

375
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: So why should we believe that this is a new trend?

376
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: Will this continue all year long? With Russell Wilson? Well,

377
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: typically what happens is the Seahawks play a close game

378
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: and then in the fourth quarter they need Russell Wilson

379
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: to come out and win it for him. But I

380
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: think what you're seeing with this current Seahawks defense is

381
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: that it's probably not great, which means that Russell Wilson

382
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: is gonna have to start saving him earlier in the

383
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: second half of football games, and we're gonna see him

384
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: throwing the ball a little bit more because the Legion

385
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: of Boom. It's kind of like when you go see

386
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: a band and then you're sitting there and you're watching

387
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: it and you're like, oh, they've got one original member here,

388
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: And I know you're thinking of Blink one eight two,

389
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: but I was thinking of like older band. But still

390
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: you look at that. I think that Russ is gonna

391
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: have to throw and I I'm excited. I've got a

392
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: couple shares of Russell Wilson. I got DK Metcalf all

393
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: over the place. So this is a situation that is

394
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: looking very promising for us fantasy wise, which I guess

395
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: goes without saying I didn't need to throw in like

396
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: fantasy wise course versus a fantasy show. I mean, for

397
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 1: all these people who are like, why are they talking

398
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: so much fantasy on this show here? Um, yeah, you know,

399
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: I drafted Russell Wilson and a whole lot of spots,

400
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: so it's certainly exciting for me. I tried to stack

401
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 1: him with either dk Metcalf or Tyler Lockett. The other

402
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: part that was encouraging was that they threw the ball

403
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: to Chris Carson. I mean, it was sort of weird

404
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: that Carson only had six carries, but he had a

405
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: bunch of catches, so I can get down with that.

406
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: So hopefully this is a thing that happens. And by

407
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: the way, when you said we were talking about that

408
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: band analogy, I was actually thinking of the time I

409
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: went to go see Tony Tony Tony and they replaced

410
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: Rafael Sadiq with his cousin as the lead singer, And

411
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: the whole time we're watching, we're like, he sort of

412
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: looks like him and sort of sounds like him, but

413
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that's him. Uh So I completely understand

414
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: where you're me from. There should be a rule that

415
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: if you replaced the lead singer, then you have to

416
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: it's a different band, Like it's it's the singer is

417
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: the band, you know, like if like if you want

418
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: to go see Tom will use the Blink one eight

419
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: two analogy. And by the way, if Travis is not

420
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: the original drummer, so if you guys are gonna be

421
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: there's two of them. No, no, no, Scott Rayner's the

422
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: original drummer. Shut up. I used to see them in

423
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: the Palladium when I was a kid, or I was

424
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: their age. Whatever the thing is is like, if you

425
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: whatever Tom DeLong can play Blink one eighty two songs,

426
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: I'd go see it. Whatever I'm done, you can move

427
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: on to the next thing. I'm sorry I was. I

428
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,239
Speaker 1: was going to throw it on a side about how

429
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna send Journey a strongly worded letter

430
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: because they have changed their Yeah, exactly, that's that's perfect. Yes,

431
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 1: that's exactly the one. I mean unless the guy sounds

432
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: exactly like the guy he's replacing, which which then that's

433
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: what happened, which happened case by case. System there all right,

434
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: So speaking of systems, the rams backfield, I mean, we

435
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 1: have sort of been kind of poking it this thing

436
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: for a while, and everybody who sort of threw their

437
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: lots in with Cam Akers and or Darrell Henderson were

438
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: surprised to see Malcolm Brown did all this runs. So

439
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: what do we make of this situation after one week. Well,

440
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: it's so crazy because the Rams through all this draft

441
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: capital over the last couple of years for Darryl Henderson

442
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: and Cam Akers, and they're like, oh, we'll just take

443
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: the free agent we picked up off the up the wire. There.

444
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: It's like Sean McVeigh is a zero RB guy come

445
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: to life himself, where he's like, hey, look at me,

446
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,959
Speaker 1: like I'm just gonna go like I don't even need

447
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: a draft a running back. And so the one thing

448
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: that we are waiting for to see shakeout was who

449
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: was going to be the goal line back, and we

450
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: thought that that would be split up a little bit.

451
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: But Malcolm Brown led the team in snaps, he led

452
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: the team and targets for running backs and he looks

453
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: like he's going to be a fixture. And again, this

454
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: is one of those situations where there's a couple of

455
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: leagues where I was like, I gotta go pick up

456
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown. Wait, I have Malcolm Brown. Actually, James co

457
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: and I We're in the league of leagues. It's a

458
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: fourteen team league. Malcolm Brown started for US in Week one,

459
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: So sorry, Pat Mayl. When you're looking on the waiver Wire.

460
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: We not only have them, we started them. I am

461
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: still impressed that League of Leagues is still still functioning.

462
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking. You wan't to talk about a

463
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: band that doesn't have any original members left in it, right.

464
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: I feel like you and Tod might be like one

465
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: of the guys might be a few members. We rejoined

466
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: the band. We're like Pat Smear and the Food Fighters.

467
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: We came back to the band, and no, Toby Toby

468
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: is the guy who runs it, like Toby's the chief,

469
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: like he's always been the guy who ran the hole.

470
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: Tony Tony Toby Toby. And uh yeah, so there's one

471
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: original guy. Brad Evans is still there. Pat Mayo is

472
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: still there. So there's some days. It's okay, all right,

473
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: I take it back then about my apologies to you

474
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: League of leaguers out there, which is just an insane

475
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: by way, let's just say for people who don't know

476
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: to cook explains Legue of Leagues as he mentioned a

477
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: fourteen team league where you draft all three of the

478
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: major sports at once. In his football, basketball, baseball, you

479
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: draft them all at one time. You can draft them

480
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: in any order, uh, and then you just play it

481
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: out over it's it's still like two year cycle, correct

482
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: for legal leagues. Yeah, but no, no, no, it's a

483
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: it's a one year cycle. But there's keepers mixed and

484
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: James kell and I gave everybody the strategy on how

485
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: to win this is you draft your NBA players first.

486
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: Because football, you cannot draft the team and still end

487
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: up being eight and five, which is all in because

488
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: basketball team is so good. Uh, you guys are all insane.

489
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: That's why I tapped out after the first cycle. Uh.

490
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: Did we underestimate We talked about Adam Gates and then

491
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: you know our feelings on him when it comes to fantasy.

492
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: Did we underestimate Robbie Anderson getting away from Adam Gays

493
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: and what that could mean to his potential? Because we

494
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: saw all the ex pats last year who got away

495
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: from Gates and suddenly balled out. Robbie Anderson balls out

496
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: in Week one. I feel like maybe we should have

497
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: taken that into account when we talked about him in

498
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: Carolina this year. Yeah, apparently we did miss that one.

499
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: We did like it. I mean it wasn't like we were,

500
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, the smirching Robbie Anderson, but you forget that

501
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: the Adam Gaates revenge body is actually a thing and anybody.

502
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: I'm what I'm looking forward to the most is that

503
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: the Jets will end up with the number one overall pick.

504
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: And I know I should talk about Robbie Anderson because

505
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: you're rolling the video. Fine, okay, Fine, go pick up

506
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson. You probably need a receiver. This is somebody

507
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: that you could be added right now if you have

508
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, if you have some other concerns about your team,

509
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: if your receivers didn't come through, if you took a

510
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: Texans receiver who wasn't Will Fuller, and you're like, gosh,

511
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: who should I go after? Robbie Anderson looked pretty good,

512
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: And obviously it was to the detriment a little bit

513
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: of d J. Moore, who I expected to have a

514
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: much bigger impact, especially in Week one, and I'm worried

515
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: about his matchup in Week two. So Robbie Anderson could

516
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: have that kind of that's that sidekick season where you're

517
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: playing opposite a really good receiver and you go out

518
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: there and you have a good year. But what I

519
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: was gonna say, though, before that b roll took me off,

520
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: my train of thought is that sad like watch like.

521
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: This is the thing that I'm hoping for is that

522
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: the Jets of the worst team in football, and they

523
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: get the number one pick and they can take Trevor Lawrence.

524
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: And then that means I gotta get rid of Sam

525
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: Donald and they send him to Chicago, and my guy,

526
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: the Triton from San Clemente, comes to Chicago, has the

527
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: Adam Gaates revenge body, becomes one of the best quarterbacks

528
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: in the league, and they could not work out better

529
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: for rank. I mean, okay, so about this, I'll take

530
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: you even a step further, right, Uh, They let go

531
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: of Sam Donald, he goes to Chicago. The Bears go

532
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: out and signed Juju Smith Schuster to pair with Allen Robinson,

533
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: who they extend. And suddenly you've got the makings of

534
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: a really dangerous passing game there in Chicago. Who says now?

535
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: Who says no? I certainly don't um all right, Speaking

536
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: of passing games, Dallas Goddard went out and smacked in

537
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: Week one over hundred yards, had a touchdown eight catches

538
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: for the Eagles. I was sort of worried about zach

539
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: Ertz and that I thought Goddard was going to take

540
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: food off of his plate. So how much stock do

541
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: you put into what we saw from Goddard in Week one?

542
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: Is this kind of a trend that can continue? Oh? Absolutely,

543
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: I think that. You know, it's become a tradition in Philadelphia,

544
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: much like the Philly cheesesteak, is that there's going to

545
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: be injuries to the wide receiver position and there's gonna

546
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: be no wide out that you can trust week to week.

547
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: And I think at some point Doug Peterson is a

548
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: smart person who's gonna be like, dude, we're running twelve

549
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: personnel the whole year because my two best my two

550
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: best pass catchers are zach Ertz and Dallas Goddard. And

551
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: of course, if you had an opportunity to go pick

552
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: up Dallas Goddard off the waiver wire this week, congratulations.

553
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: I think that this trend is going to continue. And

554
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: by the way, kudos to Marcus Grant who made fun

555
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: of me during the preseason because I was still in

556
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: I think zach ert wasn't terrible by any stretch of

557
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: the imagination, but you were like, you're the guy who

558
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: swung in over the top. Was like, oh, you bought

559
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: that tight end at Nordstroum. I went to the rack

560
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: and got Dallas Goddard, and I'm gonna be better off.

561
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: And now I'm sitting here looking the fool. I mean, look, man,

562
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: same same same product, just you know, cheaper ice. Like

563
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying. That's uh So I do think,

564
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: like I think zach Ertz is still gonna have his games,

565
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: but I think Goddard is going to pop in there

566
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: and and you have some weeks sort of like he

567
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: did in week one. I also think what helped Goddard

568
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: especially is they are still having injuries with their wide

569
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: receivers there in Philadelphia, and so that makes it easier

570
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: for defenses to focus on taking zach Ertz out of

571
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: the equation. And I think that's a lot of what

572
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: Washington did. So that meant that, hey, Carson Wentz is

573
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: gonna go to the guy that's open. That was Dallas Goddard.

574
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: So now there's sort of Vegas a two headed tight

575
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: end attack there in Philadelphia. I look, we talked to

576
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: the first segment about maybe tied in thinning out a

577
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: little bit. Maybe we wrong. Maybe Dallas Goddard steps in

578
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: there in place of some of these guys you know,

579
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: maybe he steps in where Blake Jarwin now leaves a

580
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: vacancy because of the injuries. So I'm here for it, man,

581
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: I'm I'm here for as many tight ends as we

582
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: can get to be, you know, useful in fantasy football.

583
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: So Goddard jumps in is added to the list. I'm

584
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: totally fine with that. I got no problems. Um speaking, Washington,

585
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: they went out and their defense bald on Sunday at

586
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: eight sacks against Carson Wentz. They forced a bunch of turnovers,

587
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: They made life miserable. They got a surprise win to

588
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: start the season. I mean, they are in first place

589
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. That is amazing. So what should

590
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: we think about this defense? I mean we came into

591
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: the season kind of picking on them. Do we have

592
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: to rethink that now? Well, I think that one of

593
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: the things that we were talking about coming into this

594
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: year was the amount of former first round picks they

595
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: have in the front seven. It is quite a collection.

596
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: And Jack del Ril being there in his first year,

597
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: and I think this is one of the reasons why

598
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: he came out of the broadcast booths, was that he

599
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: looked at those guys. Is that Jack del Rio had

600
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: a pretty nice life of just sitting on, you know,

601
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: and you might have been working for us, and you

602
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: look at Chase Young and what a difference maker he

603
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: could be. He looks like a generational talent. And you

604
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: put him in there with another bunch of first round

605
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: picks and you saw they had eight sacks. And the

606
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: person I feel the worst for right now is James Bradberry,

607
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: who was being courted by the Washington FT along with

608
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, where he eventually signed. You have

609
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: to be sitting there watching this and being like, dude,

610
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: if I would have just signed with Washington, that could

611
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: be like one of the best defenses in the league,

612
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: to the point that they would probably be in contention

613
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: of the NFC East if he would have signed there.

614
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: So it's interesting, but I still think it's a good line.

615
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: Eight sacks is not something to ignore. I know they've

616
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: got Kyler Murray this week. They're probably not gonna go

617
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: out and get eight sacks. Kyler Murray was sacked twice

618
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: by a similar defensive front with San Francisco, and I'm

619
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: saying San Francisco is better, But I think if they

620
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: can kind of split that difference, get between three or

621
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: four sacks. I think it might be a nice little

622
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: sneaky start this week to go with the Washington ft

623
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: D s T Yeah. No, uh the f work on

624
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: the ft d uh in the break, which made me

625
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: just think of Maroon Olsen and Moral Delivery commercials back

626
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: in the eighties. Uh, it's a it's a defense, you know.

627
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: With je they're real coordinating with Ron Rivera as the

628
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: head coach, and so you know, maybe we shouldn't be

629
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: surprised that they are so good, especially when you factor

630
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: in the town by the way. Sneaky defensive stream of

631
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: this week would be the Rams, just because I have

632
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: questions about that Philadelphia offensive line. We saw what happened

633
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: last week. Now they gotta deal with Aaron Donald and company.

634
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: So if if you're looking for a defense to pick

635
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: up this week, the Rams would be near the top

636
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: of my list if you're looking to fill that position. So, um, yeah,

637
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's gonna be interesting. The

638
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,239
Speaker 1: one Washington, maybe we don't pick on them the way

639
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: we picked on them in years past. Just something to

640
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: be aware of the first official football game of the year.

641
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we had one on Thursday, Night

642
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: last week. But this is actually T and F. That

643
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: was like season kick off or something Grand Sunday Night

644
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: Football on Thursday. Yeah, that's that's exactly what that was.

645
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: So this is actually Thursday Night football. It is the

646
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: Bengals and the Browns, uh, the two Ohio teams going

647
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: up against each other with a pair of number one

648
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: drafted overall Heisman winning quarterbacks. And we will talk about

649
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: them at a moment, but I wanted to start actually

650
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: with Tyler Boyd, who a lot of people thought, Okay,

651
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: maybe he is the number one wide receiver there after

652
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: A J. Green basically took a sabbatical because of an

653
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: injury last year. Things that network out great for Tyler

654
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: Boyd in Week one and we saw a lot of

655
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: AJ Green. Should we be worried about Boyd as the

656
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: w R one in Cincinnati? No, I wouldn't be. I

657
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: I really do believe the Chargers have one of the

658
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: best defensive secondaries even without Derwin James, and I think

659
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: their cornerbacks are top notch. So that that was a

660
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: that was a tough matchup, and that's just one of

661
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: those things where that happens to your receivers. He is

662
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: the wide receiver one of the Cincinnati Bengals. I don't

663
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: believe that a lot of people were drafting him as

664
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 1: their number one in fantasy and that they were If

665
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: you went with, I don't know, five running backs to

666
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: start in your draft, well then that's what you get

667
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: and you should deserve that. But I think where you're

668
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: playing him, he's a low end wide receiver too. Anyways,

669
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: he's a wide receiver three, maybe a flex guy. That's fine.

670
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: I mean that those are gonna happen. And you know

671
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: that when you go up and you you you look

672
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: at that match up against the charges, you probably should

673
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: have been playing them anyways. So I think we're cool.

674
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: I think we're fine. Chill out everybody. Yeah, I would

675
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: sort of agree with that as well. I just was

676
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: sort of surprised, and maybe this was them working a

677
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: j green back in. Maybe this was sort of his

678
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: welcome back because we saw a lot of work for him,

679
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: and I was dubious about taking him at his draft price,

680
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: which is like six seventh round in a lot of places.

681
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I'm sort of weird. I

682
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: just want my wide receivers to go out and be

683
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: running and practicing with the team and we didn't see

684
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: that from a j. Green, But uh, he looked okay

685
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 1: in Week one. But I do think bigger things are

686
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: coming for Tyler Boyd. So I'm with you on the

687
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: not panicking about it just yet. But things don't happen

688
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, I'm gonna change my tune completely, uh

689
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: this time next week slowing up. So Joe Burrow verus

690
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, that is one of the marquee matchups in

691
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: this game on Thursday Night. Uh at this point, I mean,

692
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: we've only seen one professional game for Joe Burrow. We've

693
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: seen Baker Mayfield for a couple of years. But would

694
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: you rather have on your fantasy squad Burrow or Baker? Yeah,

695
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm already smitten with Joe Burrow. I mean I do

696
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: have on the aforementioned team that I have with James Co,

697
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: we do have Baker Mayfield as our quarterback, and I'm

698
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: giving him one one last shot against the Cincinnati Bengals

699
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: to see how this is gonna work out. Because we

700
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: loved everything about Baker coming into this season playing with

701
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski. Because the one thing that Stefanski really focuses

702
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: on is the play action, But that play right there?

703
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: What was that throw? Like, look at like if you

704
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: could rewind it, you don't have to, but like he's

705
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: flat footed, just taught, like you, what are you doing?

706
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: You look like a statue sitting there throwing that ball

707
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: that way that If I see more of that, that's

708
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: a better throw right there, you know, that's a that's

709
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: a thrill right there? Where to go? He followed through.

710
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: He looked pretty good. So I really do believe that,

711
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: maybe more so than the statistics, we gotta start looking

712
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: at Baker's fundamentals and and see if the throws he's

713
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: making are repeatable or if he's making mistakes of getting

714
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: caught flat footed. And it's tough to give up on

715
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks so quickly when they're so young, because the

716
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: rushed into the league a lot more than they were

717
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: years ago. But you gotta start seeing some progression. And

718
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: the one thing we saw out of Joe Burrow does

719
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: that he look like an NFL quarterback. And even though

720
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: his team didn't win, what we saw out of him

721
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: was pretty encouraging. Yeah, it was very encouraging. You actually

722
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: called that he was gonna score a rushing touchdown, which

723
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: he did Uh, so, krudo to you on that one.

724
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: I think what we saw from Baker last year was

725
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: a guy who got panicked because he had a lot

726
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: of pressure in his face. He would immediately roll out

727
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: and look for help. And you wonder I'm not gonna

728
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: go with these Okay, Well I'll go to the seeing

729
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: ghosts analogy from last year. Like maybe you wonder if

730
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: whether or not he started to get some flashbacks about

731
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: that and just getting a little bit worried in the

732
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: pocket and sort of forgetting those fundamentals and forgetting those mechanics.

733
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: Hopefully Kevin Stefanski can kind of drop something a little

734
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: bit better this week. They are having they're facing a

735
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: defense that's not quite as ferocious Baltimore. I think they

736
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: get the play action more involved and just do things

737
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: to sort of take some of that pressure out of

738
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: Baker's face a little bit and give him time to

739
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: get the football down field. But because of all the

740
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: things you said about Baker, what does he have to

741
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: do to restore your faith in him? Wait, by the way,

742
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: wasn't the same ghost guy Sam Donald? Yeah? Yeah, it was. Sorry, Sorry,

743
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: I listen, it's either me me who loves you telling

744
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: you this? Right now, or it's some TWRP on Twitter.

745
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: And by the way, I had a day yesterday like

746
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: my mute button almost got broken. Anybody who brought in

747
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson slander, but that's a story for another day.

748
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,919
Speaker 1: I think what we again, what we want to see

749
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: out of Baker is progression and that he's starting to

750
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: get this offense, that the play action is working correctly.

751
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: If Baker goes out there and has a game like

752
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: let's say, like Jared Gothhead in Week one, where it

753
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: was disappointing that he didn't get a touchdown passed, but

754
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: he threw for two hundred seventy five yards and look

755
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: at Jared Goff's disappointing game and you're like, well that

756
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: hurt me fantasy wise, But he was moving that offense

757
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: against the defense that's respectable enough to be like, okay,

758
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: this is this is repeatable and at some point the

759
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns will eventually arrive and that's gonna be fine. What

760
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: I can't see out of Baker is a game where

761
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: you're like, what is this guy doing. I don't want

762
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: to have any moment during this Thursday night game where

763
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what Baker is doing on the football field.

764
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: If it's a situation where it's like, uh, you know,

765
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb scored three rushing touchdowns, I'll live with it.

766
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: But if it's just baffling, if his decisions are poor,

767
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: then I'm out. Yeah. I think I think it speaks

768
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 1: volumes though that we've gone from Baker you know, early

769
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: last year we're talking about him maybe being a top

770
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: five fantasy quarterback to now we're like, hey man, just

771
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: don't screw this up too badly, and that's all we're

772
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: asking for out of you. I mean, it has been

773
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: a long fall in a short period of time for

774
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. So that sort of extends to his pass catcher,

775
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: namely Odell Beckham Jr. Tin targets three catches. What do

776
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: you say to anybody who's panicking about oh b J

777
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: right now, Well, it's on the quarterback. I I really

778
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: do believe that Odell Beckham Jr. Is a good teammate.

779
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: He's a good player. He's out there, he's hustling. You

780
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: see him blocking, He does all the things on the

781
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: field that you would want to see as a coach

782
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: or anything like that. It just now is an incumbent

783
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: on his quarterback to get him the football and the

784
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: whole basis of this offense. The reason we were going

785
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: to be encouraged was that the play action was going

786
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: to set up opportunities for O b J. Now, maybe

787
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: this week against the Bengals will be able to run

788
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit more. I know the Chargers

789
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: ran the ball twenty times with Austin Ekeler. He rushed

790
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: for what eighty four yards. If you can get that

791
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: kind of production from Nick Chubb and and Kareem Hunt

792
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: this week, that should open things up. So really, if

793
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: the quarterback can play a little bit better, then I

794
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: can feel a little bit better about my wide receiver.

795
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: I feel better. I feel good about him. Is a

796
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: football player. I think he's very good. But now it's

797
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: on it's incumbent on Baker to get that to get

798
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: that done. Yeah, I think I think that is the key.

799
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: I I'm not willing to give up yet on on

800
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. But again, sort of like Tyler Boyd,

801
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: if things don't really come together after Thursday night, then

802
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just putting them out there on the trade

803
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: block and seeing what I can get for for O

804
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: b J. On on the back side, because there's only

805
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: so long I'm willing to kind of wait on this,

806
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: especially in the context of a fantasy season. You go

807
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: down oh and two, Uh, it's it's sort of hard

808
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: to come back. So they need to get something together

809
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: very very quickly. Hopefully that starts on Thursday night. Speaking

810
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,680

Speaker 1: We're ready to go with our week two starts. And

839
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: since of course, you can see all of Adam ranks

840
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: artom sit him picks on NFL dot com slash Fantasy.

841
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: Actually go to NFL dot com slash rank. I'm pretty

842
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: sure they're all there too. We can go check him

843
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: out there. Uh, the quarterbacks spots. Cam Newton came back

844
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: into our lives in a big way, and you like

845
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: the matchup this week? I get the Seahawks. Yeah, I

846
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: really do, and I think that you know, a lot

847
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: of people were, for whatever reasons, surprised that Cam Newton

848
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: is back and ready to go and and everything. But

849
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: he was a good quarterback is recently is two thousand eighteen,

850
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise. And

851
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: I think that Josh McDaniels I wanted to bring some

852
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: of these RPO concepts, something that he had done way

853
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: back when he brought Tim Tebow into the league, and

854
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 1: now he's getting to do it with a better version

855
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: in Cam Newton. Now, he didn't throw for a lot

856
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 1: of yards last week one fifty five, but that's because

857
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: the strength of the Dolphins defense is in its cornerbacks.

858
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: They signed Byron Jones in the offseason, they have Zavin Howard.

859
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: So it was obvious the Patriots were going to run

860
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: the football, and of course there go back as Cam Newton.

861
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: He got a pair of scores and kill Harry should

862
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: have had another touchdown, but still it was a solid

863
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: game form from Cam Newton and he's going up against

864
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,919
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and give up a lot of passing yards

865
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: to the Falcons. So now we'll get to see if

866
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: he can throw the football. I believe that he can

867
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: another quarterback pick you like Dak Prescott, who was pretty

868
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: good in Week one and and he's got a pretty

869
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: good matchup on top this week as well. Yeah, but

870
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: we're really seeing from Dak is that they're gonna love

871
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: to throw the football this year. And I think that

872
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: as much as they threw it last season with Jason

873
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: Garrett when when Dak was the quarterback to Mike McCarthy

874
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: is taking it to another level. And I think that

875
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: he got a lot out of Ezekiel Elliott as a

876
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: receiver out of the backfield. So I really like the

877
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: way that this team is constructed. And I think that Marcus,

878
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: I know you were very positive about Dak Prescott coming

879
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: into the year, and now we're starting to see it.

880
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: So to me, if you drafted Dak, there is no

881
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: reason to ever consider going in another direction. And I

882
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: continued to believe that this week against the Falcons, a

883
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: team that Russell Wilson just tore up, he's gonna have

884
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: a monster game. Yeah. That is one of those guys

885
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: you can set it and forget it. I mean, he

886
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: was the QB two last year. Uh, and he looks

887
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: like he's gonna pick up where he left off from

888
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: last season, all right, running back spot, everything moves up

889
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: one notch because of the Marlon Mack injury. We thought

890
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor was set to have a big year anyway,

891
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: his role is gonna get even bigger now rank that

892
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: he was like he is the r one and it, yeah,

893
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: I never really was once you started watching these games.

894
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: We didn't have the benefit of preseason this year, so

895
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: we didn't get an opportunity to see how Jonathan Taylor

896
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: would look on a football field in the NFL. But

897
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: it's clear to me that this was inevitable. Like the

898
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: injury to Marlon Mack was definitely unfortunate, but Jonathan Taylor

899
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: being the starter was inevitable. He just he's on a

900
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: different level. It's just the difference between if you're playing

901
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: mad and against the computer, or if you're playing against

902
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: your buddy who knows what he's doing. And that's that's

903
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: what Jonathan Taylor brings. And I know a lot of

904
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: you probably spent a lot of fab on nihiim Hines

905
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: this week and he'll be fine. He'll have a role

906
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: in that offense. But Jonathan Taylor is already catching the

907
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: ball six for six on its targets last week, so

908
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: he is definitely for the rest of the year a

909
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: secure stunt. That's the thing. People were wondering whether or

910
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 1: not Jonathan Taylor can catch the football, and he showed

911
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: at least we want it's not going to be a

912
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: problem for him. Speaking of catching the football, I was

913
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: surprised that Austin Ekeler had just one target last week.

914
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people were suddenly off

915
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: the Austin Ekeler bandwagon, but you are staying the course

916
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: in week two. Yeah, I'm sorry that I have to

917
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: roll in here and tell people that the running back

918
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: that they drafted at the end of the first round,

919
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: perhaps the early second round, is still a secure start.

920
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: But here we are. This is what we're doing now.

921
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler carried the ball nineteen times against the Cincinnati Bengals.

922
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,479
Speaker 1: What more do you want? You want your running back

923
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: to carry the ball close to twenty times, and if

924
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: the chart archers have that kind of faith in him,

925
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: then you should feel pretty good about it. Now. Obviously

926
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: you want him to be targeted in the passing attack

927
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: that will happen. You want him to get into the

928
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: end zone. That will happen, But what you need to

929
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: focus on is the usage. Touchdowns are vulnerable, are vulnerable.

930
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: Reception shouldn't be as much, but still you can't count

931
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: on that. But I think that if you have a

932
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 1: floor of nineteen rushes twenty touches every week, you should

933
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about starting Austin Ekeler. That was the

934
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: big thing for me. He was on the field. I

935
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: think about seventy of the snaps, the opportunities are going

936
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: to be there. Joshua Kelly will have his role. He's

937
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: gonna get in the end zone I think a few

938
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: times this year. But Austin Ekeler is still going to

939
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: be the guy in that offense for the Chargers this year.

940
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: All right wide receiver Allen Robins said, I know he's

941
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: having his disagreements right now with the Bears front office,

942
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: but that's a side on the field. The guy is

943
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: still putting up numbers every week. Absolutely. And I went

944
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: out on Twitter on Tuesday and I said, Alan Robinson

945
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: is a top five wide receiver and he deserves his money.

946
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: I helped the Bears pay him immediately, to which a

947
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: lot of people are like, oh, who's better, Like, go

948
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 1: with about Michael Thomas, what about Julio? What about DeAndre Hopkins.

949
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that's interesting. All three of those guys

950
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: play for Hall of Fame level quarterbacks. Alan Robinson has

951
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: played for Blake Bortles, Mitch Robinsky, and his college quarterback

952
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 1: was Christian Hackenburg. So you cannot you cannot be smirched

953
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 1: the talent of Allen Robinson and he's got a great

954
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 1: matchup this week against the New York Giants. We saw

955
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: them give up three touchdowns despite the addition of James

956
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: Bradberry during the off season. Allen Robinson's a great start,

957
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: as is Tony Miller. Yeah, I can say I like

958
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller too as a as a sneaky flex play

959
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: if if you've got the spot for him, all right,

960
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: our Cooper Cup you got him here? Is this? Is

961
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: this do you believe? Or is this you sort of

962
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: trying to speak something great into existence? Now? I know

963
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: you hate Cooper Cup and that's Cooper now you do

964
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: like you literally hate him, but he's he has become

965
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: this touchdown dependent player and I I'm mad at myself

966
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: for number one, I got auto picked Cooper Cup in

967
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: a couple of spots where I would have taken Bobby

968
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: Woods ahead of him, and there were some teams around

969
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: like well, I said, try to diversify a little bit

970
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: because I have too many shares of Robert Woods just

971
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,439
Speaker 1: in case. But what we saw out of Cooper Cup

972
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: in Week one was what we saw out of him

973
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: at the end of last season, where if he doesn't

974
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: score a touchdown, he's not going to get you a

975
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy points. The good news is the Philadelphia

976
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: Eagles allowed twenty one touchdowns to wide receivers last season.

977
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: That was one of the worst in the NFL. They

978
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: kept the Washington Ft out of the end zone receiver

979
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: wise in Week one. But I mean, this is Cooper

980
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: Cup and Jared Goff. This isn't Dwayne Haskins. So I'm

981
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: giving them the volatility option here. And this might be

982
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: hit for Cooper Cup because if he doesn't come through

983
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: this week, there's going to be a Rams wide receiver

984
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,040
Speaker 1: who is going to be on my bench probably for

985
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Wow, at the it's harsh,

986
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: But it's harsh. You know sometimes you just gotta you

987
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: gotta teach them a lesson, and you see if they

988
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: come around because of that tight ends. We've talked a

989
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: lot about them. Today we've got a revenge jame on tap,

990
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: Jared Cook going against his old club and now know

991
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, they seem to be opening up for him. Yeah. Absolutely,

992
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 1: And you know that's one of the things that Drew

993
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 1: Brees is gonna do. If you're not throwing a slant

994
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 1: pass to Michael Thomas, you're gonna be throwing a short

995
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: pass to Jared Cook. And I think that where he's

996
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: really going to make an impact is near the goal line.

997
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: And anytime they get near that end zone, Jared Cook

998
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: is going to be their most targeted receiver. So I

999
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: feel very comfortable starting him this week against the Raiders.

1000
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: And on the flip side, John Neu Smith, who I

1001
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: liked as a sleeper this year, got in the end zone. Uh,

1002
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: guy who should have a good year in Tennessee. Yeah,

1003
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: he looks like a really reliable receiver. We saw a

1004
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: lot more passing from Tennessee on Monday night than we

1005
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: were probably anticipating, and we saw a lot of We

1006
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: saw a lot of Johnny Smith, especially near the goal.

1007
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: I think two tight ends caught touchdowns for the for

1008
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. We saw a lot of Corey Davis,

1009
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: who I don't know. I think it was Matthew Berry

1010
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: who described him as this year's DeVante Parker possibly and

1011
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: then not enough a J. Brown And you're like, oh,

1012
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: this is weird, Like, you know, a lot of people

1013
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: were were sort of in A. J. Brown. But I

1014
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: think John new Smith is gonna be very He's gonna

1015
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: be a very reliable option for you a weekend. A weekend,

1016
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: that's funny. I did. I did not see that Matthew

1017
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: Berry tweet, but I did have that same thought as

1018
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: I was watching that game that hey, maybe you know

1019
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: last year DeVante Parker finally broke out. Maybe this is

1020
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: the Corey Davis year. Who knows? Which is gonna really

1021
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: burn a lot of people who invested in A. J.

1022
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: Brown in their fantasy if this is the man too much? Yes,

1023
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: not not gonna be fun. All right. That was Secure

1024
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: Starts presented by Visa. All right, in the interest of

1025
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: fair time, we talked about the starts. We're gonna talk

1026
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: about some sits. Matthew Stafford, who was okay in Week

1027
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: one against the Bears, you are out on him in

1028
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 1: week two. Well, he should have had four additional points

1029
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: so that that but I don't care about that, like whatever,

1030
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: Like listen, I saw Jordan Howard make the same drop

1031
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: against the Falcons in Week one a couple of years ago.

1032
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: I have no sympathy for the Lions. I have empathy

1033
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: as a human being, but as a bearrass maan, I

1034
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't like to match up against the Packers.

1035
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 1: I think their defense is pretty decent, and I don't

1036
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: think that Matthew Stafford is going to go out there

1037
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: and be able to do a lot of a lot

1038
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: of things. The one thing that troubled me about the

1039
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: Lions coming into the season is that you can go

1040
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: google the phrase Matt Patricia is bringing the Patriot Way

1041
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 1: to the Lions. There's an article from two thousand eighteen.

1042
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: There's an article from two thousand nineteen, and there's an

1043
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: article from this season. I don't think that Matt Patricia

1044
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: knows like I don't think he's an NFL coach. And

1045
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: I think, you know, you fired a guy who was

1046
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: going nine and seven, getting ten wins every year, and

1047
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: you didn't think that was good enough. He wanted to

1048
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: swing for the fest with with Matt Patricia, it's not

1049
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: working out. Every time you mentioned Matt Patricia, I sit

1050
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: up a little bit straighter and make sure my posture

1051
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: is okay, because I don't want to be sold for slouch.

1052
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 1: You know, Drew Lock, I'm still waiting to see whether

1053
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,439
Speaker 1: or not he is the quarterback of the future in Denver.

1054
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: You know that he is not your quarterback in week two? Well, yeah, definitely.

1055
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: And you know what it's It was Pat McAfee who,

1056
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: speaking of Matthew Stafford, was making that comparison, and I'm like, oh,

1057
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. I I hadn't thought of that before.

1058
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, I kinda I kind of dig that.

1059
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: And I kind of like the way Drew Lock was

1060
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: conducting himself on the field. I liked his postgame press conference,

1061
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: in his presence, the way he was kind of uplifting

1062
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: his team, and I was I was really impressed by him.

1063
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: Wasn't impressed with Jerry Tuty dropping that pass. And really,

1064
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 1: he's got such a tough matchup this week against the

1065
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, even though Danny Dimes was able to move

1066
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: the ball on them a little bit. But until he

1067
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: gets a full compliment of receivers with him, and I'm

1068
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: talking most notably about Courtland Sutton. I really can't trust him.

1069
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: So if Courtland Sutton returns and he's ready to go,

1070
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: I'd feel a little bit better. But I think against

1071
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers, I think it's wise just to find some

1072
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: other options. Yeah, I think this week I wouldn't mess

1073
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: around with that Steve. There's Steel's defense. If I got

1074
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: anybody in the the Broncos, maybe Melvin Gordon, uh, you know,

1075
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: keep an eye on Philip Lindsay and see what his

1076
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: situation is. So maybe Gordon gets some run, But anybody

1077
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 1: else I'm kind of staying away from. In Denver. Speaking

1078
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: of running backs, Frank Gore is going to live forever.

1079
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 1: He's got a revenge game against the team that first

1080
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: brought him into the NFL. But you don't like him

1081
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: this week? Huh. Well, I there's a lot of those things, Marcus. Yes,

1082
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Hey, you know, there's the revenge

1083
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: game factor, and Frank Gore going for two hundred yards

1084
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: in this game would be peak. But if I'm just

1085
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: analyzing this as a football analyst, I should look at

1086
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: the forty Niners defense and realize that you know, a

1087
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 1: team coming off a tough loss like this, they're going

1088
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: to shut down the run, and I think that they're

1089
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 1: going to be committed. They know they need to shut

1090
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: down the run and force Sam Donald to try to

1091
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: beat them. I know they do have some injuries on

1092
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball as well, but I

1093
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: really do think that this is this is gonna be

1094
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: a game where again you're gonna just want to avoid

1095
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. Yeah. I also I also think the United

1096
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: is gonna be a little bit angry. They they felt

1097
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: like that when got away, they played sloppy against the Cardinals,

1098
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: and that's probably not gonna bode well for the Jets.

1099
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: Chris Carson, I know you weren't big on him last week. Uh,

1100
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: is this you sort of like trying to like Carson's

1101
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: revenge here that you're telling to sit people said to

1102
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: sit him this week. Well, here's the thing is, I

1103
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: think that we had Chris Carson is the RB thirteen

1104
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: last week in our NFL dot Com Fantasy ranking, So

1105
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: it's not like we were crushing the guy. But when

1106
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: I saw that Boston Scott was available, I'm like, well,

1107
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 1: I know that Boston Scott's gonna probably play the full game.

1108
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: Obviously he was injured, but Chris Carson I was apprehensive

1109
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: about him because I didn't know how much they were

1110
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: going to use them. And I was right in the

1111
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: fact that he got six carries. So my my aversion

1112
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: to him for that reason was spot on. What I

1113
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: didn't realize is that they were going to throw him

1114
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: the ball six times and he was gonna turn two

1115
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: of those into touchdowns. And again, this goes back to

1116
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: the volatility of scoring touchdowns. And I know that a

1117
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: lot of people love to overreact and you're like, well,

1118
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 1: this guy scored two touchdowns, I gotta play on them.

1119
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 1: Like no, you gotta look at the usage, like obviously

1120
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: he scored more points than Austin Ekeler. And if you're

1121
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 1: gonna be that person who's got thanks were to me like, yeah,

1122
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you that. You go into a week

1123
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: and you tell me like, Okay, this guy is gonna

1124
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: touch the ball twenty times, this guy is gonna carry

1125
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: the ball six times. Which guy do you want to start?

1126
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: And yep, sometimes it's not gonna work out. And you

1127
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: know what, you're sitting there at the blackjack table. You

1128
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: got a nine team, I'm telling you not to do it.

1129
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,479
Speaker 1: You hit it, you got a two congratulations you want

1130
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: like you know what, over the course of your lifetime,

1131
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: playing that way is not gonna work out for you.

1132
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: Touchdowns are fickle beasts. I say it all the time,

1133
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: but they landed on the side of Chris Carson in

1134
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: Week one. A couple of cents at wide receivers, you

1135
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: talked about the Jets going against the forty Niners. Jamison

1136
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: Crowder seems like a pretty easy sit call this week.

1137
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: It is, but I think a lot of people will

1138
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 1: look at number one, how how well he did last week,

1139
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: and be like, look how many points he scored. I

1140
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: should probably go up. And you know, DeAndre Hopkins kind

1141
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: of feasted on the Cardinals, but Jamison Crowder does all

1142
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: his work from the slot, and DeAndre Hopkins did most

1143
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: of his work lined up on the left side. So

1144
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: the forty Niners have actually been pretty good over the

1145
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: last couple of years shutting down the slot receiver. So

1146
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to really get into that business. And

1147
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: of course, Jamison Crowder had that huge pop play the

1148
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 1: sixty nine yard touchdown, which was the majority of his points,

1149
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 1: So I understand that you're you're looking when you're looking

1150
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire and you're like, wow, look how

1151
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: many points Jamison Crowder had a little closer inspection shows

1152
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: that it's it's not quite the performance that you thought

1153
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: it was. Although he was targeted thirteen times, he just

1154
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: caught seven of them, which is you want to see

1155
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 1: a little bit of a higher return on that as well.

1156
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: So I just think that this Jamison Crowder is good

1157
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: to have on your football team, but I don't think

1158
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: you want to put him on your starting line or

1159
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: put him in your starting lineup this week. I'm just

1160
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: gonna go out and say this, Jamison Crowder is not

1161
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Just you know, I'm just putting that out

1162
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: there for for everybody to take that. I guess I

1163
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: could have Yeah, I guess I could have summed it up. Uh.

1164
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: So you talked about wearing out the button on Twitter recently.

1165
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 1: I would think that it's going to get some heavy

1166
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: usage because you've got Tyreek Hill as a sit this week. Well,

1167
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: I mean, if you basis on previous Fantasy points, then yes.

1168
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: And I don't want to say that any team has

1169
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: the number of Patrick Mahomes, but the Chargers have done

1170
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: a really nice job against Patrick Mahomes over the last

1171
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 1: couple of years. And one of the reasons that it

1172
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: stems from, or one of the one of the carryover effects,

1173
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 1: is that Tyreek Hill does not perform well against the

1174
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers. As a matter of fact, I don't

1175
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 1: think he's top to eleven fantasy points in his last

1176
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: three games. There are other guys like Nicole Hardman, could

1177
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: be somebody who steaks in there and gets a touchdown,

1178
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: or perhaps it's a Travis Kelsey game. Perhaps it's Clyde

1179
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: That's what it's gonna be. And I know if if

1180
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: you're a person who just wants to in react and

1181
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: be like, oh, this guy is a clone. Like obviously,

1182
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: if you have a fantasy football team that starts three

1183
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: receivers or has a flex, Tyree Hill is probably going

1184
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 1: to be in your lineup. I understand he's got that ability.

1185
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 1: But let's say you're constructing a daily fantasy team and

1186
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 1: the amount of capital you're gonna have to put into

1187
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 1: a player like Tyree Hill. I'm just telling you there's

1188
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: other options. If you want to be big mad, don't

1189
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: be mad at may be mad at the Chargers be

1190
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: mad at Andy Reid, who's not getting them ball getting

1191
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 1: them the ball in those games. Don't get I'm just

1192
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: giving you the facts and you can decide to do

1193
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 1: with it whatever you want. People reacting hastily on social media.

1194
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 1: That never happens. I don't believe that. And by the way,

1195
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: it also like and people like that is the one

1196
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: thing that people are like, oh, like, Tyree Hill is

1197
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: a better receiver than Allen Robinson. And I'm like, look

1198
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: at listen, Tyree Hill is exciting and he's faster than

1199
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson. Why don't you watch some tape for it,

1200
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: watch some contested catches and tell me that Tyree you kill,

1201
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 1: is better than Allen Robinson. Like, I gotta put that

1202
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: out there right now. And by the way, I know

1203
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: there's also people who are coming out and be like

1204
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: Adam feelings better, Like stop thirty year old Adam God,

1205
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 1: stop now you you you you get a block for that.

1206
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm not You're getting an instant block. And another one

1207
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: that I got to was like Juju and I love Juju.

1208
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: I'm a big Juju guy. You're a big Juju guy.

1209
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: We saw what happens, did Juju if his quarterback is

1210
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: not a Hall of Famer, like we saw it right,

1211
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: like we all witness what happened, Like that's it's Rabinsky,

1212
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:38,919
Speaker 1: that's people are insane, insane. Do you feel better now? Yeah?

1236
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: just let it have go do that. Let's let it happen.

1237

Speaker 1: find it and you can rage and he can get

1243
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: you if that's what you choose to do here in

1244
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: week too. It's one thing to go out and get

1245
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: your waiver wire, claim to get the guy that you

1246
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: were targeting off the wire. But now you've got the

1247
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: decision of okay, so I put this guy in my lineup.

1248
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: So I got some wire taps here, guys that you

1249
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: might have got off the waiver wire, some guys who

1250
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 1: were gonna be popular this week, and whether or not

1251
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: you should put them in your lineup. So let's start

1252
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: with Ahem Hines. He was a guy that certainly a

1253
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: lot of people were going after after the injury to

1254
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack. He's got the Vikings rank. Would you start

1255
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: in him, Hines? Maybe in the flex spot this week.

1256
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: I would believe that you are, mostly because the matchup

1257
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: against the Minnesota Vikings is pretty good. You know, we

1258
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: were talking about bands all throughout the show, and the

1259
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: Vikings are like that band that you you know, probably

1260
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: had to pay top dollar to see back in and

1261
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 1: now they're playing at the o C Fair for free

1262
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: and nobody cares. They're just walking past, like ah, then

1263
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: you guys used to be smash mouth or whatever it is.

1264
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: And so I think that now, and if it's not

1265
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: starting this week, eventually you're gonna have to start looking

1266
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,479
Speaker 1: at Vikings defense and being oh, these are must start

1267
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: guys against them. So I would get nine minds in there.

1268
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: That's like the time I saw Hooba Steak at a

1269
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: barbecue and beer festival in Chandler, Arizona. Yeah, I'm starting

1270
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: nine Hines this week. I just think the pass catching

1271
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: prowess is is something that's hard to pass up. Chances

1272
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 1: are you lost a running back or you have somebody

1273
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: who disappointed you, and in the chance of him getting

1274
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: another eight to ten targets is a little bit too

1275
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: tempting for me. So I would start Hines. Malcolm Brown,

1276
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: we talked about in him, and I know that you

1277
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: have him in a number of spots. He's got the

1278
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: Eagles this week. This feels like another guy that you

1279
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: if you got him, you're putting him in your lineup

1280
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: in week two. Yeah, I really do believe. So I

1281
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: don't believe the Eagles were giving up a lot of

1282
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: overall yards and whatnot to the to the to the

1283
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: to the rushing attack. But we saw last week, you know,

1284
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber fell into the end zone twice for a

1285
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,439
Speaker 1: pair of scores. I think he averaged one point seven

1286
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: yards per carry, which I guess was it improvement on

1287
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: what se Kwon Barkley was doing. But I do believe

1288
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: that the usage makes it so that Malcolm Brown is

1289
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 1: somebody that you're going to start this week. And again

1290
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that they're gonna start leveling out and getting

1291
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: some throwing touchdowns mixed in there. But again, the usage

1292
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: just lends itself to to Malcolm Brown being your starter.

1293
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: I would also say that with Washington last week, they

1294
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: fell behind big. It was like seventeen nothing in the

1295
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 1: blink of an eye, and so they had to throw

1296
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: the football and I'm sure that changed their game script.

1297
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: I don't think the Rams are gonna fall behind any

1298
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: by a significant margin this week, so maybe they can

1299
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 1: run the football a little bit more. Uh. Last week,

1300
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: we talked about Robbie Anderson a couple of times in

1301
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: this show. He's got the Buccaneers, but it looks like

1302
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a big part of that Carolina passing games.

1303
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: If you've got Robbie Anderson, do you plug him in

1304
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: this week? You know? Actually, the matchup against the Tampa

1305
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers is pretty tough. I mean even going back

1306
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: to last year. And this was something that we talked

1307
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: about on NFL Fantasy Live last season, was the Buccaneers

1308
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 1: have not allowed a quarterback to throw for more than

1309
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: three hundred passing yards since I blew leave Week eleven

1310
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 1: of last season. It's significant. It's it's been a long time,

1311
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: and they really started to shut teams down and we

1312
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: really started to see the results of the defense that

1313
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: Todd Bulls was putting in there. So I don't believe

1314
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: that this is gonna be a great start for anybody.

1315
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm even apprehensive about starting d J. Moore, but because

1316
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: I put so much draft capital in him, I'm probably

1317
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to end up starting him here or there.

1318
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: So Robbie Anderson, I do believe is going to be

1319
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: a useful piece for you moving forward. I'm just not

1320
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 1: sure it's gonna happen this week. I do see a

1321
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: situation where maybe you've lost Michael Thomas for a few

1322
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: weeks and you're you're needing somebody to feel that spot,

1323
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 1: so maybe you start Robbie Anderson. I still hold to

1324
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: the belief that this Buccaneers defense isn't bad. They were

1325
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: put in bad situations last year by Jamis Winston. They

1326
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: got put in some bad situations last week between Tom

1327
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: Brady and some special teams mistakes, and so that hurt them.

1328
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: But on its own in a vacuum, this is not

1329
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: a terrible defense, uh, And they did a good job

1330
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: I think, for the most part, shutting down or slowing

1331
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: down these Saints passing game. So I'm sort of with

1332
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: you there, but I do understand a scenario where you

1333
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: might have to start Robby Anderson this week. And I

1334
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 1: get it, no judgment. This is a judgment free zone

1335
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: here on this show. Yeah for sure. So all right,

1336
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 1: there you go. That is it. We are done. We

1337
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 1: appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football Show

1338
