1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Wow, what is Welcome to another edition of the NFL

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, MG. Marcus Grants,

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: still vaccinated, still dodging variants like NEO in the matrix

4
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: is always We got producer Justin, producer Hythem, and a

5
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: cast of dozens. The specialists are on the other side

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: of the glass. We go for show too here in

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: our brand new home, the Chris Westling Podcast Studio here

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: at NFL l A. And of course I always joined

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: to my left here by Michael f Florio. And it's

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: week four, which seems kind of fast. It's God, we've

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: gone through this pretty quick so far. Yeah, I mean,

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: longest season ever, so we have an extra week in there.

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean all of a sudden, like it

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: felt like we blinked and the first three weeks are

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: behind us. Yeah, so we're pretty much to the first

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: month of the season. I guess this is the uh

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: kind of the quarter pole. And I know, don't I'm

18
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: gonna get some horse racing fan it's gonna tell me

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: that the quarter pole means there's all a quarter of

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: the season left. I don't care. Um, I don't know that. Yeah, yeah,

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 1: so the quarter poles actually when you have a quarter

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: of the race left, so this would technically be the

23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: three quarters poll or something that is confusing. Yes, right,

24
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: and uh no one says it like that. So we're

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: gonna go with the way we do it. Um got

26
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: plenty to talk about. We'll have our big questions for

27
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: Week four. We will give you some sleeper picks, and

28
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: of course we're gonna preview every game on the slate

29
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: except for the Monday night game. We'll do that on

30
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: the Monday Show as we always do. But let's start

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: with some fantasy headlines because there's quite a bit of

32
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,639
Speaker 1: news floating around here on this Wednesday. We will start

33
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: in Tennessee, where the Titans went from having two really

34
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: great wide receivers to really having no wide receivers. A. J.

35
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: Brown could miss a week or two because of the

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: hamstring injury he suffered on Sunday. That is per Ian Rappaport.

37
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: Julio Jones status is uncertain for this Sunday as the

38
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Titans get ready to take on the New York Football Jets.

39
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: Last week, we saw Chester Rogers catch a touchdown. We

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: saw Nick Westbrook Akeena catch a touchdown. For many people,

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: that was the first time they've ever heard of Nick

42
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: Westbrook Akeena, myself being one of the exactly I learned

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: and he went to the university or he was in

44
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: Indiana University because our own friend and colleague, Rett Lewis

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: also played football at IU and he was shouting him

46
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: out on Sunday. But the bigger question is with no

47
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: A J. Brown potentially know Julio Jones, Uh, is there

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: anybody else on that Titans roster you have any interest

49
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: in this week? Not really. I think Nick Westbrook Akena,

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: like you said, is he's a deeper league option. I

51
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: would say, like maybe if you're in like a fourteen

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: team league or anything deeper than that, But in a

53
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: twelve team league, I'm not going to pick that guy

54
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: up and let alone start him. Uh. And I think

55
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: the biggest impact this has is on Ryan Tannehill. Like

56
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: Tannehill was someone that I was excited coming into the year.

57
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: I was excited coming into Week four. I was like,

58
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: all right, finally a get right game against the Jets.

59
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: I expect better results out of him. But now if

60
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: there's no Julio, there's no a J. Brown. Julio I

61
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: know is up in the air A little bit. But

62
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: if those guys sit, it's just gonna be the Derrick

63
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: Henry Show. And he's gonna run for two hundred something

64
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: yards and and however many touchdowns he feels like running for.

65
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: And I think besides Henry, you could kind of get

66
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: away from all your Titans this week pretty much. Yeah,

67
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks for the Titans, they

68
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: got the Jets, they got the Jaguar, so there are

69
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: some soft spots in the schedule, so they're gonna be

70
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: missing wide receivers. This is probably the time to do it.

71
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit more Ryan Tannehill to a

72
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: little bit later on in the show. Other wide receiver news,

73
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens are activating Rashad Bateman from injured reserve. Meanwhile,

74
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: the Washington football team is expected to bring back Curtis Samuel,

75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: whom the start of the year with a growing injury.

76
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: Between the two of them, which one would you much

77
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: rather have on your fantasy roster, I'm gonna go with

78
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel. He was the one that I was more

79
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: excited about coming into the season. He was a top

80
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: thirty fantasy wide receiver last year. I thought, um he

81
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: would have a large target Chair two as the second

82
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: target behind Terry McLaurin. But Bateman is someone that I

83
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: am also somewhat interested in as well. I think you

84
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: should check your waiver wire right now to see if

85
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: either those guys are out there, because the chances are

86
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: at least one of them is probably out there in

87
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues, I would think, so I think

88
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: you might be able to find both of them in

89
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: a lot of your leagues. I like Samuel more just

90
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: because Washington is going to throw the football a little

91
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: bit more than Baltimore is going to. And the other

92
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: thing I went back and watch that that Washington game

93
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: against the Bills on Sunday, and the one thing I

94
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: took away was that they don't have a second wide receiver.

95
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: It's Terry McLaurin. I mean, they do get Logan Thomas involved,

96
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: but they need another wide receiver. Curtis Samuel is expected

97
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: to be that. We know that he can know not

98
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: only catch the football, he can run the football effectively

99
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: to um although I don't you know, between between Antonio

100
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: Gibson and J. D. McKissick, they don't need anybody else

101
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: taking those backfields. I think that is a is where, Um,

102
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: Because I know Terry mclauren is Terry mclauren. He is

103
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: going to be the unquestioned number one in my opinion.

104
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: But now, how did the target shape up between those

105
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: two two running backs and Logan Thomas with Curtis Samuel

106
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: now in the mix. That's something that I will monitor, um.

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: And then in Baltimore, like this is a bad time

108
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: for Mark to see the Bents coming back after he

109
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: had maybe his worst game in his career last week.

110
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: He had some awful drops, just horrific drops in that

111
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: game against the Lines, and somehow they still pulled it out.

112
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: Thank you. Just the longest field goal ever, an NFL

113
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: record field goal at the buzzer to win it. All. Right,

114
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: let's let's get to this. So the news popped, uh,

115
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: this actually came out on Monday afternoon that Josh Gordon

116
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: was uh well, we already knew he was going to

117
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: be reinstated by the league. That had already happened. Then

118
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: the news came out that he was signing with the

119
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, And immediately my Twitter timeline started Slot machining.

120
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: She has everyone on Fantasy Twitter just firing up about

121
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon. Are we really doing this again? Man? If

122
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: he had signed any of the other thirty one teams,

123
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: I'd be saying no. But the Chiefs have been searching

124
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: for a wide receiver too behind Tyreek Hill for a

125
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: while now. Like we knows, Kelsey and Tyreek Hill are

126
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: the unquestioned top two targets there. But we've seen Mikole

127
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: Hardman get involved, Brian Pringle a little bit, to Marcus Robinson.

128
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: It's just been like a rotation there. I mean, I'm

129
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: not saying Josh Gordon is going to be the Josh

130
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: Gordon of old, but could he come in and surplant

131
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: those other guys and be the number two wide receiver

132
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: now in Kansas City. I think that's possible, and that

133
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: is a fantasy relevant spot. So yeah, Unfortunately, I'm not

134
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: spending you know, a high priority in the waiver wire

135
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: or a lot of fab or anything like that to

136
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: get him. But if he's out there and I could

137
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: just throw, you know, take a little bench flyer on him,

138
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: I think that's something I'm okay doing. I just, you know,

139
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: twenty three teams a long time ago, long time, like

140
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: we have been chasing that dragon ever since then. I

141
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: tweeted the last time Josh Gordon was a thing, it

142
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: just elbow was fighting Kaiju in the Pacific Ocean like

143
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: in Giant Robots. Like it's been a while. By the way,

144
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: Pacific Room is a documentary on our future, and our

145
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: global production of yeagers is scarrently behind schedule. Um. Look,

146
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: it's just I understand everybody sees the talent and they

147
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: see what happened, and they really want that to happen again.

148
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: I guess if you were in a deep league or

149
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: you're just really trying to buy a lottery ticket, then

150
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: I guess Josh Clay, that's all he is, is the

151
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: pick for you. But I think for most of us,

152
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: like I really do wish him well. I hope that

153
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: as a person, as an NFL player, that everything works

154
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: out for him. I just don't want him on my thing,

155
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: not on him for a ninth straight year. I just

156
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: I can't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore. Um.

157
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: Last bit of news, James White suffered a hip injury

158
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: last week. He is out indefinitely. Um. I mean, obviously,

159
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: Damian Harris is a guy that we all like, but

160
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: beyond that, I mean, who else is up in this

161
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: New England backfield. I think it could be either Brandon

162
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: Bolden or j J. Taylor. Um, I think White had

163
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: a very specialist role, like he was the past catcher there.

164
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: Does that mean now they're going to throw more passes

165
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: to Damian Harris? That would be huge for his fantasy value?

166
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: But I'm my inclination is that one of those other

167
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: two running at some now play the James Right role

168
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: as the pass blocker and pass catcher in that backfield.

169
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: I know Adam Rank has been big on J. J. Taylor,

170
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: sort of saying he could be kind of a Rex

171
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: birkehead type. I just I'm going by what we saw

172
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: last week, and that was Brandon Bolden came in and

173
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: he got a lot of those snaps. Um, look it's

174
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. I think you know we're taking a weight

175
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: and see attitude. I think the other part of it

176
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: that makes it easy to be hands off this week.

177
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: So I think at the Bucks and and I don't

178
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: care who. I don't want Damien Harris, I don't want

179
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: anybody against this Bucks defense. So I think this gives

180
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: us a chance to sort of look and see what

181
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: they're going to do and try to make a decision

182
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: from there. I mean, I guess if you're forced, if

183
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: your hand is forced. UM, I don't know. This is

184
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: a week where I would play zero Patriots if I could. Yeah,

185
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: pretty much all of them would be on my bench

186
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: pretty much, I would I would stay away. Uh. And

187
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: now the Bucks have signed the Richard Sherman too, so

188
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: they trying to get some help. Tom Brady is the

189
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,599
Speaker 1: best recruiting I mean, he really is, Tom. Do you

190
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: might recruiting for USC because over at the coliseum all right?

191
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: Time to look at three big questions for Week four,

192
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: and maybe the biggest is in Chicago where it was

193
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: not a good day for Justin Fields for the Bears

194
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: offense in general. Um, we talked about Justin Tucker in

195
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: his record sixty six yard field goal that was I

196
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: believe nineteen more yards than the Bears offense generated on Someday. Um.

197
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: All this time we had said that Allen Robinson seemed

198
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: pretty much quarterback proof, right, he had been a master

199
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: at making chicken salad out of you know what when

200
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: it came to his quarterback situation. So far this year, though,

201
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: it's not really working out. When do we start worrying

202
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: about a rob now, like, I am very scared about

203
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson. I have him ranked as my wide receiver

204
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: thirty this week, behind guys like Pittman, Courtland Saw, and

205
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones Christian Kirk. I mean, we were drafting Allen

206
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: Robinson ten rounds ahead of some of these receivers, and

207
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: I have him thirty against the Lions in a great

208
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: mad too. I mean, you just pick a stat like,

209
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: his targets are way down, his air yards are down dramatically. Uh,

210
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: his red zone targets are down, like everything that we

211
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: were drafting this guy expecting safe, consistent volume, and then

212
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: I was drafting him, especially saying all right, once Justin

213
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: Fields takes over and they unlocked the deep ball with

214
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson, it's a new level of like upside that

215
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: we haven't got ever out of Allan Robinson, and that

216
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: just hasn't been the case. I don't like the way

217
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: they're using him. I don't like the way the play

218
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: calls have been called. I don't like the way the

219
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are playing. Like right now, I'm very worried about

220
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: Robinson and the entire Bears offense. Yeah, that is it

221
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: is definitely disconcerting. I mean, look, we we had Robinson

222
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: as a guy that you know, you just felt okay

223
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: about regardless of the situation. We had Darnell Mooney as

224
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: kind of a sleeper that everybody loved. I mean, so far, Mooney,

225
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: what he's had. His best game has been sixty six yards.

226
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: That was against the Bengals in Week two. This offense

227
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: is going nowhere right now, um, and I think the

228
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: can sort of be laid in a lot of places.

229
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: The offensive line is not very good, justin fields, didn't

230
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: look very good. Matt Naggie's play calling has not been

231
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: very good. Everything about this is worrisome. And I think

232
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: it's very telling that you talk about how far down

233
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: you have him ranked in what seems like it's going

234
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: to be a smash matchup against the Detroit Lions. We

235
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: are we're very concerned. Um, if you've got him, obviously

236
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: you're not dropping him. And the hard part is you

237
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: can't really trade him because who wants him? Right now?

238
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: Some of you are trading him. I mean you're gonna

239
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: be getting like twenty cents on the dollar or something

240
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: like that. Like, I think you're just handcuffed with him.

241
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: He's sort of an anchor on your fantasy roster right now.

242
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: That could be a whole segment fantasy anchors. Guys you

243
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: just have to hold on too, and you don't know

244
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: what you can do with him. Um, all right, slightly

245
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: better at the wide receiver's spot. Who would you rather,

246
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs or Calvin Ridley? Two guys who we had

247
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: high hopes for who have been okay, not great so

248
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: far this season. For me, I might sound like a

249
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: homer here, but I'm going with Stefon Diggs here. Diggs

250
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: is still averaging over ten targets per game. He's average

251
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: in the fourth most air yards per game amongst all

252
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: wide receivers. He's already been targeted four times in the

253
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: red zone. The volume is going there for Digs. It's

254
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: just the production hasn't been there yet. When it comes

255
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: to Calvin Ridley. It's nothing against Calvin Ridley himself, because

256
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: I think Calvin Ridley is one of the best wide

257
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: receiver talents in football. But his targets are still around

258
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: what they were last year. It's just the type of

259
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: the quality of targets are taken a hit, like his

260
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: air yards per game is down dramatically per target drowned

261
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: down dramatically. He's not getting those deep shots anymore down

262
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: the field like we were expecting. So it's just really

263
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: it's a Matt Ryan thing. I think, like I trust

264
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen getting digs the ball a lot more than

265
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: I do Matt Ryan getting Ridley. One thing about this

266
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: Falcon's offense, I really thought Arthur Smith was going to

267
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: sort of change it and tailor it to his personnel,

268
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: understanding that like Mike Davis is not Derrick Henry newsflash, everybody,

269
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: they're not the same player, um, you know, and just

270
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: really kind of taking advantage of guys like Calvin Ridley

271
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitts. And I don't feel like that's happened yet. Um.

272
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: That being said, I think I'm still slightly sighting toward Redley,

273
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: only because as I watched the Bills, the one thing

274
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: I noticed on Sunday was Josh Allen spreading the ball

275
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: around a lot more. You know, we know Coldb's he's

276
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: gonna get his targets, but Emmanuel Sanders makes plays. We

277
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: know they can go to Gabe Davis, Dawson Knox got

278
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: into the act. I mean, just that ridiculous touchdown catch

279
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: that he had on Sunday. Um. I guess the point

280
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: being is that they don't necessarily need to load up

281
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs with targets to be uh successful offensively. I

282
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: think for the Falcons they do have to lean on

283
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: Ridley in that passing game. So while the air yards

284
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: aren't what we like them to be, I think over

285
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: the the long haul, maybe the targets are gonna be

286
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more just because doesn't really have anywhere

287
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: else to go with the football, especially with Kyle Pitt's

288
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: not stepping up like they need Calvin Realley to. The

289
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: only thing I had is like, is Maddie Ice? Like?

290
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: Is is he thong out? Like? Is this for him? Uh?

291
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: He's back to being Ryan. By the way, through like

292
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: three quarters, you and I had the same number of

293
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: targets as Kyle Pitts. Oh yeah, that's rough. That's not

294
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: good at all. All Right, So it is Wednesday, which

295
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: means hopefully you have all major waiver claims and hopefully

296
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: you got some goodies under your fantasy Christmas tree this

297
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: Wednesday Morning of the Guy. And by the way, if

298
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: you haven't thought right, you should check out Mike Florio's

299
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: uh waiver wire column if how dot Com slash waiver wire.

300
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: So of those guys that are consensus waiver wire adds

301
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: this week, how many of them would you think about starting?

302
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: There's a good amount because I use the NFL dot

303
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: Com percentages, So anyone that's rostered in less than half

304
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: of leagues, I know, I get tweets all the time,

305
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: like this guy's added in my league. Sorry, I would

306
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: start Chuba Hubbard for sure. Uh just I love what

307
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: he could do in this offense. We saw Mike Davis

308
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: last year finishes in RB one because they throw. They

309
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: have so many design pass plays for the running backs

310
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: that they're not going to change that Madison if Cook

311
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: is out, we saw what he did last week and

312
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: he hans. I mean, please pick this guy up so

313
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: I could stop putting the Waiter article. I know you

314
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: love Cordelle Patterson. I think he is someone you could trust.

315
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley is thirteen targets in two games already this year.

316
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: And then Henry Ruggs is someone I'm excited about getting

317
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: more and more opportunity, a lot of deep shots there.

318
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: So all of those are options I think you could

319
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: pick up and start this week. Yeah, I think I

320
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: like all those names. Um I would I would add

321
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber, that is if if Josh Jacobs doesn't come

322
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: back this week, because the Chargers have given up a

323
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: lot of yards on the ground, so it could be

324
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: another good opportunity for Peyton Barber another day I would

325
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: throw in there. And maybe kind of a deeper sleeper

326
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: is Pat friar Muth the like that Steelers tied end

327
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: because he's getting some looks from Ben Roethlisberger. But there

328
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: are plenty of guys out there and here we are.

329
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's week four and it's a reminder of

330
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: how injuries can impact your fantasy roster that we're already

331
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: talking about Christian McCaffrey missing time, Dalvin Cook possibly missing time,

332
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs. I mean, these were these were guys that

333
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: were drafted as top fifteen, even top ten running backs

334
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: in a lot of cases, it took two weeks for

335
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: us have Painton Barber back in our lot, right, didn't

336
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: think that? Which, by the way, Kenyan Drake dropped back

337
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: to the way and drop him, yeah, Like, I mean,

338
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: if he's not getting the RB one numbers when Jacobs

339
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: is out, when can you ever start it's never gonna happen,

340
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. Alright, in his time for a break,

341
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: we'll be right back to continue our game previews here

342
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. All right, let's start

343
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: looking at the games though four Week four. We'll start

344
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: with the Thursday night football game Jaguars at Bengals. Of course,

345
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: you can see that on NFL Network eight pm Eastern time,

346
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: kick off from Cincinnati. And uh, if you're looking at

347
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: that game, who is on your radar that people need

348
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: to pay attention to? I think Marvin Jones is the

349
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: one Jaguar player that you could start each week with confidence,

350
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: Like it was great getting James Robinson back in our

351
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: lives last week, and I think he's in play on

352
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: Thursday as well, But I'm more confident in Marvin Jones. Like,

353
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: this guy has seen nine, eleven and eight targets, so

354
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: he's consistently getting uh he's leading them in targets basically

355
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: each week, and he's giving you close to nineteen us

356
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: the eighteen and then over twelve fantasy points in his

357
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: three games this year, and in the one where he

358
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: had twelve, he did that without scoring a touchdown too,

359
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: So I think he is as safe as play as

360
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: you could get in this offense, and in a pretty

361
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: good matchup against the Bengals. Yeah, he's the one guy

362
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: that has consistently produced. I mean, DJ Chark has been

363
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: sort of you know, in and out, Laviska chald has

364
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: been pretty much Yeah, I and I was a huge

365
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: fan and nothing has happened, And I'm I'm pretty much

366
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: ready to move on from Labisca Chanal. But Marvin Jones

367
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: has a consistently and plus they're gonna be throwing the

368
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: ball a lot this year, so see a lot of targets. Uh,

369
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: next game up should be a really good one the

370
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Rams from so Far Stadium, And I'm

371
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: gonna say that alright, I'm starting to come around A. J.

372
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: Green is a sleeper. Now I'm not I'm not necessarily

373
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: locked in on starting him, but he's at least getting consideration.

374
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: He's had exactly six targets in every single game so

375
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: far this year. I think the the frustrating part is

376
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: gonna be I feel like they're gonna be games where

377
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: it's it's A J. Green, then there's gonna be ron

378
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: Dale Moore games. I think they are the two that

379
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: are really sort of competing. We know Nuke is the

380
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: number one target when he's healthy. We know Christian Kirk

381
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: seems to be locked in as that number two target

382
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: in this offense. And so the rest of it's gonna

383
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: be a battle between more Uh and Green. But if

384
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: nothing else, A J. Green deserves at least consideration in

385
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: your lineup, maybe a flex option, because with this cardinal

386
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: passing game being what it is, the opportunities are gonna

387
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: come for him. Yeah, A J. Green three weeks in

388
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: a row, it's six targets, like you said, also three

389
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: weeks in a row playing the second most snaps amongst

390
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: these receivers. So while Christian Kirk does look like the

391
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: number two options in the passing game, I think Rhondo

392
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: Moore is like that high ceiling play each week, whereas

393
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: A J. Green is just like that safe floor. You

394
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: know you're gonna get around like ten Fantasy points and

395
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: maybe he scores a touchdown like he did last week.

396
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: AJA Green sort of taking over for Larry Fitzgerald, just

397
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: that steady, consistent veteran. It's not going to be spectacular anymore.

398
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: I think those days are gone, but you'll get some

399
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: consistent production um chiefs at the Eagles. Now. I don't

400
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: know if Josh Gordon is going to be on the field,

401
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: but the Davante Smith is going to be on the field,

402
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: and are we feeling about him? I am worried about

403
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: Devonte Smith. I mean a big Week one and he

404
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 1: is someone that I was drafting a lot in my league's.

405
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna be the best rookie Fantasy

406
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver this year. Jamaar Chase is making sure that

407
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: DeVonta Smith is not. Volume has been there like eight targets,

408
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: seven targets, six targets. Don't love that the targets have

409
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: gone down each week, but still he is a consistent

410
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: part of the offense. But the last two weeks combined

411
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't even have ten Fantasy points, So to me,

412
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: that is very concerning. He has listened thirty yards and

413
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: each of them. I think we're at the point with

414
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: DeVonta Smith where no, you you don't drop him yet,

415
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: but yes you could sit him if you are debating

416
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: between him and some other options, Like you do not

417
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: need to start DeVonta Smith every week right now. I

418
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: think a lot of it too, is that the passing

419
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: game has been sort of inconsistent. Yeah, Jalen Hurtson's up

420
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: putting up three twenty yards against the Cowboys, but so

421
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: many of those came when the game was already decided.

422
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: It was just out of hand. Is the one eagle

423
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: that no matter how the game goes, he's gonna get

424
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: you of twenty fantasy once. The rest of them, who

425
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: knows how it has been pretty much locked in with

426
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts everybody else has been kind of a horror show.

427
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: So um Panthers at the Cowboys, which is kind of

428
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: an intriguing game, right. The Cowboys look really good on

429
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: Monday Night. The Panthers are undefeated so far to start

430
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: the season. I'm gonna tell you you can start Sam

431
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: Donald and that's what the Cowboys defense actually being better,

432
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: I tweeted on Monday night. And maybe we should start

433
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: stop picking on the Cowboys defense because they look pretty good.

434
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: But I still believe in Sam Donald. Joe Brady's got

435
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: him doing some really good things. They've got him getting

436
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: the ball out quickly. Uh. Look, I would like for

437
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: them to maybe get Robby Anderson involved more, but that's

438
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: a whole other story. But Sam Donald will get really good.

439
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: And now I'm not telling you that you know you're

440
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: gonna start him over, you know, like a Mahomes or

441
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: a Justin Herbert or even a Dak Prescott. But certainly

442
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: if you're a super flux you're in a two QB league,

443
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: or if you're just in a deep league and you're

444
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: streaming quarterbacks, Sam Donald is not a bad option right now. Yeah,

445
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: I agree over three hundred yards and two straight. And

446
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: what I really love Marcus is he's four carries from

447
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: six yards are closer this year and only Christian McCaffrey

448
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 1: had more than him so far on that team. Like,

449
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: if that is a new part of his game, running

450
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: in the red zone, then that only adds to his

451
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: fantasy ceiling and floor each week. I know that Jets

452
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: fans looked like they've got a I know they're you know,

453
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: they're they're hoping Zack Wilson can can improve and get better.

454
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: But I'm sure part of them is like we could

455
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: have done that, Like that it could have us. I mean,

456
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: you got rid of Adam Gaze, and then you got

457
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: rid of the player that Adam Gates was holding back,

458
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: and now you gotta watch him thrive with someone else.

459
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: It's it's tough being a Jets fan right now. Sam

460
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: Donald totally winning the breakup. Next step on our slate

461
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: of Week four games, we got the Browns at the

462
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: Vikings in Minnesota, with a big win against Seattle last week,

463
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: the Browns just demolishing the Bears. Um, I think this

464
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be interesting. Who's who is on your mind

465
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: when you think about this game? Odell Beckham Jr. And

466
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: I know last week, Uh, I was kind of taking

467
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: a optimistic approach with him, cautious approach with him, where

468
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: I was saying like if I had other options that

469
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: were ranked closely to him, I would get away from Odell.

470
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: And in his first game back, he shined. I mean

471
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: he had nine targets. I was a team high. Kareem

472
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: Hunt had seven. No other Brown's player had more than three.

473
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: So clearly the passing game was running through O'Dell. He

474
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: caught five of them for seventy seven yards. And I

475
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: mean he couldn't get a better matchup coming back against Minnesota.

476
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: Teams have been throwing all over the Minnesota has been

477
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: competitive in a lot of these games. Like they beat Seattle,

478
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: like you said they were very they came down to

479
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: the wire against the Cardinals, which means that the Browns

480
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: are probably gonna have to keep throwing in this game

481
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: if it's close. I think O'Dell is just back to

482
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: being a guy now that you start and you don't

483
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: really think about it. I think it's interesting because the

484
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: Browns have a pretty concentrated passing game because I've in

485
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: the first few weeks I have sort of kept an

486
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: eye on, like, you know, Anthony Schwartz or Donovan People's jones,

487
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: and none of those guys were really consistently getting targets

488
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: from Baker Mayfield. I mean it was it was Jarvis

489
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: Landry when he's healthy. Uh, now it's O'Dell, it's Kareem Hunt.

490
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: And that's kind of it for for the Cleveland passing game,

491
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: which I guess makes it good for us that we

492
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 1: can kind of figure uh next up Seahawks at the

493
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 1: forty niners. And after the first couple of weeks of

494
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: wondering where the hell is Brandon Aiyuk, we got at

495
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: least a decent look at him last week against the Packers.

496
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: He didn't do a ton, but he got opportunity, and

497
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: so I think this week that makes him kind of

498
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: an interesting flex spot start, I should say against the Seahawks,

499
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: whose defense is, to put it kindly bad. Uh, they

500
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: just had guys wide open last week against Minnesota, Justin

501
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: Jefferson was giving that secondary fits. Uh. And I think

502
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: I UK right now he's out of the doghouse. I

503
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: think he's into your lineup, so I think there's an

504
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: opportunity for him to start getting more and more work,

505
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: especially with the Niners still trying to figure out their

506
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: running game situation. But it's just nice to know that

507
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: the guy that we really were invested in is actually

508
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: starting to get work again. Yeah, it was awesome to

509
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: see him. He scored the touchdown. Uh. The thing I

510
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: don't get, and I was gonna ask you like to

511
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: start the year, was oh, Trent Sherfield, He's earned this

512
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: playing time. He played two snaps the other day and

513
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu had six targets. Like, I don't get what's

514
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: going on in San Francisco at all. I think what

515
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: you need to know is that Kyle Shanahan doesn't care

516
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: about your fantasy team at all. And I think everything

517
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: he says now you can take with a grain of saw.

518
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 1: I mean this goes back to the draft season, right

519
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: when he just let us all think he was going

520
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: to take Mac Jones at three uh, and they took

521
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: trade Lance instead Steelers at the Packers. I watched, I

522
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: watched that Steelers game. Um, I don't do that to her.

523
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't want to ever do

524
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: that again. I don't want to do that again. Um,

525
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: it's it's over for big Ben, right, like he's he's

526
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: he's officially washed now right. Yeah. I tunted on Sunday

527
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: that like Pittsburgh should have moved on after last season,

528
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: but they decided to go with like the nostalgia route,

529
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: and they're paying for it now. I mean big Ben

530
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: completed thirty eight passes through fifty eight times, had three

531
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: eighteen yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Naji Harris had

532
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: nineteen targets. You spoke about it on Monday Markets. There

533
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: was a fourth and ten play with the game on

534
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: the line, and Big Ben through a screen pass behind

535
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: the line of screamage, Like he is just not what

536
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: he used to be. He is. The air yards for

537
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: everyone is down dramatically. So I'm worried not only about

538
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: big Ben, but I'm worried about this passing game because

539
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: even last year early on, it was like we could

540
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: start Deontay and Juju and maybe get a good day

541
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: at a Claypool. Now for me, it feels like we

542
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: could start Naji and whoever the top wide receivers. Like

543
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: if Deontay's back, I think it could start him. If not,

544
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: I think it could start Claypool. But besides that, like

545
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: like I want no part of Juju Spence Schuster on

546
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: any of my fantasy rosters right now. No. We talked

547
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: about how last year it's like they turned Juju into

548
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: kind of a tight end. They've turned Chase Claypool into

549
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: a tight end. I mean Pat farm with actually a

550
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: tight end. Like it's like it's like that's that's all

551
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: it is right now, just rows offense. I feel like

552
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: Ben has maybe four deep throws in him every game,

553
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: and maybe one of them is going to be good.

554
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Juju because they made him even

555
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: more of a tight end this year and he could

556
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: be playing. He could be the Josh Gordon, he could

557
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: be you could be catching Juju. I love remember Matrick

558
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: Mahomes right now, that was a mistake. That was a mistake. Bro. Uh.

559
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: You know, if you want more talk about starts and since,

560
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: you should check out the Startom Sitom show. You know,

561
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: because it's in the name plenty of analysis Michael Florio's

562
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: there can be checks Adam Rank is there. It's a

563
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: pretty good time. Huh, yeah, it's a good time. Rank

564
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: tells you who he starts and then who he works

565
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: so hard saying is to start and to sit, and

566
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: then I come in and I just kind of poke

567
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: holes in his analysis and uh, and that's the show.

568
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure he takes it well too. Oh yeah, I'm

569
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: sure it's great. You can check it out four pm

Speaker 1: Time for another break will come back and we'll talk

579
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: about the football team and the foulkins and uh, what's

580
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: going on with them, especially with some of those running

581
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: backs in that game. Stay tuned for more of the

582
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. Uh start with the Washington football

583
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: team taking on the Atlanta Falcons. And we got a

584
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: nice game last week from Antonio Gibson, although most of

585
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: it came on one play seventy three yard catch and

586
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: run for a touchdown. Still a lot of j D.

587
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: Mackissic in that offense. But this is a great matchup

588
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: for Antonio Gibson. Is this gonna be his first true

589
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,239
Speaker 1: smash game of the season. I think so, because I

590
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: think this is a game where Washington could be playing

591
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: with a lead, and they really haven't had many games

592
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: like that this year. Um, which is why, like we've

593
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: seen more j D McKissick than we wanted. I tweeted

594
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: after that seventy three yard catch, like, hey, good things

595
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: can happen when he throwing. Antonio gives him the ball

596
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: hoping that it leads to more targets for him moving forward.

597
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: But even if not, I mean, if this is a

598
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: game where they're playing with a lead, Marcus, you're not

599
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna see j D McKissick running the ball a whole lot,

600
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: at least in my opinion. So I think the second

601
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: half could be a lot of Antonio Gibson. And it's

602
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: funny we're talking about him not having a good game

603
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: yet and you see there he's had over a hunch.

604
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: Two of his three games I know, were just it

605
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: just feels like it hasn't really happened. I know, it's

606
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: it's one of those weird things. The other part of

607
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: it is Jennie mckistic only had five touches on Sunday.

608
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: It just felt like more, maybe because every time it's

609
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: the whole thing, Like when when the football team gives

610
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: the ball to not Antonio Gibson, I wonder why they

611
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: didn't give it to Antonio, so you could have thirty touches.

612
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: What are you doing? You know? So there you go. Uh,

613
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: next up, we got the Houston Texans taking on your

614
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills. But that leads us to Brandon Cooks. Now,

615
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: I know, every time we talked about Brandon Cooks on

616
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live, Adam Rankins all bent out of shape

617
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: and he's, like I said, he was good, Like nobody

618
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: said Brandon Cooks wasn't good, But also nobody expected that

619
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: he was going to be the wide receiver six. After

620
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: three weeks of season, he has been uh just excellent.

621
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: He's had twenty points back to back weeks. Does he

622
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: go over twenty points for the third straight week? Yeah,

623
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean, this guy Marcus leads the

624
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: NFL with a thirty eight percent target share. Every week.

625
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: It's like every player on Houston gets two targets except

626
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: for Cooks. He gets double digits. We we can lock

627
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: it in. And I want to give credit where its due.

628
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: I know Rank was talking him up, but we played

629
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues together in Marcus, and I feel

630
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: like Brandon Cooks is on your roster and all of it. So, uh,

631
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: kudos to you, Kudos to Rank. I thought Cooks would

632
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: have been a volume guy, but I didn't have a

633
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: whole lot of faith in that Texans offense. And I'm

634
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: kind of kicking myself wishing that I drafted him now.

635
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm really I'm really struggling to figure out

636
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: who the wide receiver two is on this team. I mean,

637
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: I guess Anthony, I don't think it. I mean, Nico

638
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: Collins was someone we were excited for coming in, and

639
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: Danny Avendola plays for the team. I mean, there's just

640
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: there's no one else to throw the football too. I

641
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: think Brandon Cooks has thirty two targets. The next close

642
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: and closest player is Jordan Akins. With now line like

643
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: when they are throwing the football, you know where it

644
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: is going, and somehow he still keeps getting open, still

645
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: keeps making plays. If I'm a defensive coordinator, I just

646
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: put like six guys on Barrene Cooks and tackle him

647
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: with the line of screen and then like make the

648
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: Texans beat me somewhere else. Um well, keep going on

649
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: our game previews. We got the Baltimore Ravens at the

650
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, and I feel like this is the week

651
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: you can get in on Noah Fant, not that you

652
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: couldn't before. He's very quietly having a very nice start

653
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: to his season. Teddy Bridgewater is finding him a lot.

654
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: In fact, Bridgewater, I know Broncos fans weren't excited when

655
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: he was named the starter, but he looks very good

656
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: through the first few weeks. He's spreading the football around,

657
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: he's getting you know, all his receivers involved, and Noah

658
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: Fant has been a pretty good start to the season

659
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: as well, he's the tight end eleven as we sit

660
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: here right now, and the Ravens surprisingly have not been

661
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: very good against the tight end position, So I think

662
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for Noah Fan to kind of

663
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: keep rolling along the way he has. Yeah, and the

664
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: volume you said is uh. I mean at the tight

665
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: end position, volume is really all you can ask for,

666
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: and Noah Fan has it. So I agree with you.

667
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: I think he's a top ten tight end that you

668
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: start each week Titans at the Jets. And we mentioned

669
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: that the start of the show that the Titans could

670
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: be down a pair of wide receivers. A J Brown

671
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: expected to be out, Julio Jones is uncertain for this week,

672
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: and you sort of mentioned what that means for Ryan Tannehill,

673
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: but that you are you are very worried right now. Yeah,

674
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: I went from Ryan having Ryan Tannehill is a streamable

675
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: option that you could start this week too. I don't

676
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: really want to use him now. I have him as

677
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: my QB sixteen right now, behind Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr,

678
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, and Joe Burrow, but I'm considering putting him

679
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: behind like Daniel Jones and Taylor Heinike as well, just

680
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: kind of give you a little glimpse into the rankings.

681
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,239
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill has one game this year with more than

682
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: two hundred twelve passing yards. He's running a little bit still,

683
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: which we like to see, but below fifteen fantasy points

684
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: in two games as high as twenty one, which isn't

685
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: great out of your quarterback for his high through three games,

686
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: especially someone like Tannehill who had been averaging over twenty

687
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: one fantasy points since becoming the starter. Here with the

688
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: with a j Brown out, with Julio Jones banged up,

689
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: I think this is just gonna be a game against

690
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: the Jets where they just run Derrick Henry the whole day,

691
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: rely on their defense. They got to score seven points

692
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: to beat the Jets. I think that I kept saying

693
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: during fantasy draft season, like, why does it feel like

694
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill is being undervalued? And maybe maybe people knew something,

695
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: Maybe people knew something that I didn't, because so far

696
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: he's been just Yeah, it's unfair that he gets all

697
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: these weapons and then like four weeks into the season,

698
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: they're all gone gone. Now it's like, hey, I hope

699
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: you enjoyed that time. That's over at least for the

700
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: time being. UM Colts and Dolphins, which earlier in the

701
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: season looked like it might have been sort of intriguing,

702
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: right now and not so much. The Colts still looking

703
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: for their first win, the Dolphins UH dealing with a

704
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: lot of injuries. I will say this, though, keep the

705
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: faith on Jonathan Taylor, keep him in your lineup. I

706
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: know it hasn't been what you wanted to be. I

707
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: know it has been what you wanted to be. Florio

708
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: like UM, but last week what encouraged me six point

709
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: four yards per carry. He had sixty four rushing yards

710
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: on tin carries. I am shocked that right now Nahem

711
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: Hines has played more snaps than Jonathan Taylor, and I

712
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: just don't think that's sustainable, especially with the Colts being

713
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: at oh and three and kind of doing it a

714
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: certain way and having it not work. At some point,

715
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: They've got to go back to feeding Jonathan Taylor the football,

716
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: you know. I I know they want Carson Wentz to

717
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: be a thing, but right now it's just not working out,

718
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: and so I think you kind of stay the course

719
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Taylor, and I think it's going to get better.

720
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: I know that's a scary proposition for some folks, but

721
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: I think that's what's gonna happen. Yeah, I think it

722
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: gets better as well. He still leads the league and

723
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: touches inside the five has not converted any of them

724
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: to be touched on yet. I think the touchdowns will come.

725
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: There's a difference between saying we're worried about Jonathan Taylor

726
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: living up to the top five billing or even RB

727
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: one billing and like dropping him and people and immediately

728
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: go from one end of the the other, and it's like, no, no,

729
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: be patient. Still start Jonathan Taylor. But yeah, he's he's

730
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: more worried about him now than it was a couple

731
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and now he hines has been way

732
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: more of a thing in anybody anticipating it. Looks like

733
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: we don't have to worry about Marlon mac though he's

734
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: apparently on the trade block, so there's one less uh

735
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: opportunity for somebody to take some touches if not if

736
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack isn't there anymore. Still three more games left

737
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 1: on our slate for this show. It will start with

738
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: the Giants at the Saints. Um the Giants. You talk

739
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: about games that were hard to watch I watched Giants Falcons.

740
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: That was a really, really hard one to watch. Also,

741
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: I can't think of a team that has been more

742
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: confusing the first three weeks than the New Orleans Saints. Uh.

743
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: They blow out the Packers, they get locked down by

744
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: the Panthers, and they handle the Patriots. I don't know

745
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: what to make of them. I don't really know what

746
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: to make of this game. Please please help me out here.

747
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: I think one player you could stick with, at least

748
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: on the Giants of the Ball is Sae Kwon Barkley.

749
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: And I know that might sound kind of obvious, but

750
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: prior to last week, people were really concerned about Sae

751
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley and what to do with them. And now

752
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: you've got say, tough matchup against the Saints, who are

753
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: one of the best run defenses in football. But what

754
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: I like about Sae Kwon Barkley The snaps were there

755
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: in week one and two. Last week he had sixteen carries.

756
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: But but the thing that stands out seven targets. A

757
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: team high and right now, with Sterling Shepherd and Darius

758
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: Slayton dealing with hamstring injuries, Kenny Golladay in this weird

759
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup spot Like it was

760
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: Sae Quon and Colin Johnson that led the team in

761
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: targets last week, so I think you can expect like

762
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: at least five, probably even more targets for sake k

763
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: one again and given the state of the running back

764
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: position right now, which is not that pretty, um, sa

765
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: Kwan is an easy still you gotta like must start

766
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: him this week. I think. I do think last week

767
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: gave everybody a little bit more confidence. Plus, um, I

768
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: think over the course of the season, you're not going

769
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: to have Daniel Jones as the Giants leading rusher. If

770
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: you do, things have gone badly, even more badly for them,

771
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: uh than losing to the Falcons on the last second

772
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: field goal. Uh. Lions at the Bears. We started the

773
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: show talking about Alan Robinson and our concern especially with

774
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: the Bears offense uh being sort of a mess. But

775
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,959
Speaker 1: I would say that that makes me feel a little

776
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: bit more confident though about starting David Montgomery. I think

777
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 1: he's a guy that you have to have some more

778
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: faith in. I know last week wasn't good for him,

779
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't good for anybody wearing a Bears uniform, but uh,

780
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: they got to do something to take the pressure off

781
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback, whomever it may be. And Matt Nage still

782
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: has not committed to who that is, who that player

783
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: is going to be just yet, But whoever it is,

784
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: they got to do something to back off the pass

785
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: rush to just make life easier. And that might mean

786
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: getting the ball to Montgomery, whether as a runner or

787
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: just short throws out of the backfield. So, uh, he's

788
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: the guy that that I like coming into the season,

789
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: that I love the first few weeks of the year,

790
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: and I still think there's an opportunity for him to

791
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: have a good game against a pretty bad defense. Yeah,

792
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: I like, I still like David Montgomery. And again with

793
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: the running back position, and like, if you have David Montgomery,

794
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: like who are you sitting him for? Like I think

795
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: you had to continue to ride out with him? All right,

796
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. It is the Buccaneers at the Patriots.

797
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard, but Tom Brady, who

798
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks the Buccaneers, used to play for the Patriot. Yeah,

799
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: this might be this might be new news. He just

800
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: he was there. He got a cup of coffee. Uh,

801
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, got on the field every once in a while. Apparently.

802
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: Um dude, he's been great to start. Yeah, I I

803
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: because we already said we don't want any Patriots this

804
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: week if we could get away from them, So I

805
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: want to kind of use this time to be like

806
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: my bad. I was completely wrong for fading Tom Brady

807
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: in the Bucks offense this year, Marcus. I thought it

808
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: was risky because he doesn't run. He's up there in

809
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: age and there was and I thought the past catchers

810
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: were risky because there was a lot of them. It

811
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. They've all been great each week outside of

812
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 1: like one bad Mike Evans week. Tom Brady is ten

813
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns through three games. He's averaging well over three

814
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: hundred passing yards per game. Uh. He also led them

815
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: in rushing last week and scored a rushing touchdown. Like

816
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: this guy wants to do something, he's gonna do it.

817
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: He had a great game against the Bucks. I'm sorry

818
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: for doubting. You go start Tom Brady every week. See,

819
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: I feel like my NFL quarterback and career was doomed

820
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: the moment I first had a strawberry, and if I

821
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: was and had never eaten a strawberry, which I still think,

822
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: that's crap. You grew up near Watsonville. They have a

823
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: world famous strawberry festival. You're telling me that you are

824
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: forty four years old, you've never had a strawberry. I'm

825
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: not buying it. It's such a weird it's such a

826
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: weird thing, right, Like that's a common fruit. No, it's

827
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: not like I've never had I don't know or something like,

828
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: you know whatever, whatever. I'm just I'm not buying it.

829
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to some sleepers for the week.

830
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: Floria and I each have a pair. Who's your first one?

831
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: For me, it's Zack Moss. Lack Moss is a player

832
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: that was on the waiver wire and a lot of

833
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: leagues just a few days ago, and we thought Devin

834
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: Singletary was finally the starter. We were making jokes Marcus

835
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: that he no longer need three forms of I D

836
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: to fund the end zone. And then Zack Moss comes out,

837
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: has more snaps, has more carries, has more targets, and

838
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: looks really good doing so thirteen carriers for six yards,

839
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: called all three of his targets for thirty one yards,

840
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: and a t D. I think it's hard to say

841
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: that either one of these bills running backs. Is a

842
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: is a running back that you could start with confidence.

843
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: But right now, in a great matchup against Houston, I

844
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if down the stretch, like in the

845
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, if we're just seeing a lot of one

846
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: of these Bills running backs run out the clock. And

847
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: a week two that was Zack Moss that the Bills

848
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: used for that. So I think Moss is a sleeper

849
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: this week. You know, I think a big thing and

850
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: it is this play right here. You see a little

851
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: dump off pass for Zach Mossy scores that touched down

852
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: in the past. I feel like Josh Allen would have

853
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: taken that himself. So if this is what's gonna happen,

854
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: I think there's more for Zack Moss there. I'm gonna

855
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: go with the Bengals defense though, as my first sleeper.

856
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: They've got the Jaguars, as we mentioned on Thursday Night

857
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: Football on NFL Network, and the Jags offense has been

858
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: a mess so far this season. Trevor Lawrence tied for

859
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: the league lead interceptions with seven. He's generally running for

860
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: his life. Uh, They're not gonna just suddenly get better

861
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: over the next couple of days, Not to mention the

862
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: fact that the Bengals made life hard on the Steelers. Yes,

863
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: some of it has that Ben Roethlisberger is not the

864
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: player that he once was, but some of it is

865
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: just that the Bengals defense actually is something that you

866
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: can't trifle with anymore. So I feel like that's a

867
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: good opportunity if if you're streaming defenses, this is a

868
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: good streaming spot here. Yeah, stream against rookie quarterback. I've

869
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: been wrong about Trevor Lawrence to start the year as well.

870
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: He's been playing pretty rough. Uh yeah, you're next sleeper

871
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: you got. I'm going with Michael Carter here, another rookie. Um.

872
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: I look, last week they got shut out in Denver,

873
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: but Carter did see his snaps increased Tevin Coleman was inactive,

874
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: and then he led the Jets with nine carries. Uh,

875
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson only had three. Michael Carter also had three targets.

876
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: I don't love that Ty Johnson had five of them,

877
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: but he only caught one target for six yards. So

878
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: I think Michael Carter has looked like the better pass

879
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: catcher there as well. And it's I mean, we're three

880
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: weeks into the season, but it's kind of evident that

881
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: the Jets aren't playing for this year. They're looking to

882
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: build long term. Ty Johnson is a journeyman. Tevin Coleman's

883
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: towards the end of his career. At some point they're

884
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: gonna start just letting Michael Carter set set him loose

885
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 1: and just giving him more and more work. We're already

886
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: seeing it, slowly but surely. So. I think Carter is

887
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: a sleeper option this week. Like over ten touches and

888
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: two straight games. If you're getting a little bit deeper

889
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: for flex option, that that's pretty good use usage right there.

890
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: I do think at some point they're going to turn

891
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: this thing over to Michael Carter. We thought that last

892
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: year too, when they had some young running backs and

893
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: they still kept running like Frank Gore and stuff, and

894
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: it just didn't I love Frank Gore, but it just

895
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: didn't make sense. My other one, and I mentioned him

896
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier. Pat friar Mouth for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yes,

897
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 1: I know this offense has turned pretty much everybody into

898
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: a tight end. So if that's the case, why not

899
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: use the actual tight end. Um He's not getting a

900
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: ton of targets, but when you're streaming tight ends, if

901
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: you're needing help at that position, you don't necessarily expect

902
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 1: a ton of targets, but you do expect some down

903
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: near the end zone. And I think you're gonna see

904
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,720
Speaker 1: that with friar Mouth. If the Steelers can move the football,

905
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: which I mean I think they should be able to

906
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: h I think there's gonna be some opportunities there. And

907
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: I know, yes, yes, rookie tight ends they don't usually

908
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: do a whole lot, but if you're just talking about

909
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: a one game proposition, there's an opportunity for Friar Move

910
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: to make some play. So um, you know, I think

911
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: they said if you're streaming tight end, or if you're

912
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: just in a league where there isn't a lot on

913
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, friar Move is probably there for you.

914
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: And I think it's worth a stream this week. I

915
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,439
Speaker 1: like that call. He actually out targeted Eric Ebron last week.

916
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: And if the preseason and early season has been in,

917
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,080
