1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show presented by

2
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Draft Kings. Here's your host, Marcus Grant. What is up?

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: presented by Draft Kings. It's me and your man MG,

5
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant. Still masking and socially distancing when and where necessary,

6
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: and we have made it through another Sunday of NFL

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: and fantasy football. So we are here to sort of

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: look at the aftermath of that. On this Monday, we

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: had plenty to talk about. We'll dig through some of

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: the top waiver wire picks for the coming week, and

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: we'll look at some guys who have sort of been

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: up and down and we'll figure out what we know

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: about them, whether we know it, whether we think we

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: know it, or whether we have no idea what some

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: of these guys are going to do. Some of your

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: highs and some of your lows from fantasy as welcome

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: me checks for Joyants as she always does on a Monday,

18
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: and plenty plenty more to talk about. But before we

19
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: do any of that, we'll talk to our faithful producers,

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: Senior Edward L. Murphy, Esquire and Uh Murphy. I know

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: the Giants don't make you happy, but they do play tonight,

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: and what are your expectations for them? And what is

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: a pretty tough matchup. I'm glad you asked I could.

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: I could give you the exact format of what will

25
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: happen tonight, So you guys don't even watch the game,

26
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: because it's gonna happen. The Giants are gonna stay close.

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna be with this team. You're gonna see a

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: lot of graphics about how the Giants have, you know,

29
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: beating Brady twice in the Super Bowl, this, that, the

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: other thing. It'll be close in the third quarter, fourth quarter,

31
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: and then you will see the Daniely Jones turnover, probably

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: caused by Evan Ingram somehow because he seems to be

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: the one, uh you know, throwing interceptions up in the

34
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: air for the defense that get um or something like that.

35
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: So and then we'll they'll lose the game by one score.

36
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: I believe the Giants have like eight losses by in

37
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: the most losses this year been by eight points of les.

38
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: So they're gonna lose again a game they could have won,

39
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: and they will be a one win team going forward,

40
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know what, the Giants game their

41
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: best effort, but the Bucks are a little bit better.

42
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: And that's just been the story of the season. So

43
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: spoiler alert for everybody. Uh, just just know what's coming.

44
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: I would think that at least in some perverse way,

45
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: there's there's less pressure as a fan to watch when

46
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: you sort of feel like you know what's going to happen. Though,

47
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: um totally. I mean you you look for progress, obviously.

48
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: I want to see Andrew Thomas play better, obviously. I

49
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: want to see Danil Jones not turned the ball over. Obviously.

50
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: I want to see Darius Slade maybe become a true

51
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: number one, and just some defensive pieces as well. Dalvin

52
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: Thomason is playing really really well this year, so you

53
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: want to see some guys do do well. But it's um, yeah, overall,

54
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: you just kind of like lost the drive, lost the

55
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: energy towards the team. It's just, um, it's just kind

56
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: of a sad story that it's worse almost being like

57
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: one score away. I'd rather almost get blown out, like oh,

58
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: they're just totally done this year. To be like that

59
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: close to winning a bunch of games US decent teams,

60
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: it's super frustrating. I can totally imagine. Well, at least

61
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: hopefully you have some something good to eat and drink

62
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: to at least, you know, keep your spirits up during

63
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: this one. So uh yeah, well we will see how

64
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: it turned out tonight. Of course, we will have a

65
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: Monday Night preview a little bit later on in this show.

66
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: And to help me with that and plenty more on

67
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: today's show, it is the one and only Kimmy Checks

68
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: and Kimmy, you didn't have such stressful times yesterday. The

69
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs sort of a care of business. To no one's

70
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: surprised against the Jets. They took care of business yesterday,

71
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: So imagine it was a pretty chill sunday for you.

72
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: It's always a chill Sunday when you're Kansas City Chiefs fan.

73
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: PS I see the sign behind you. Happy birthday to

74
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: your mom, Happy birthday the mother of Marcus Grant. You

75
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: have awesome son who I get to chat fantasy football

76
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: with every week. So happy birthday to you. Yeah, thanks mom,

77
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Happy birthday. If you weren't born than I wouldn't be here.

78
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: So much much love, much love to my mom and

79
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: to all moms out there. Just we'll just throw it

80
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: out there generally all right, let's start this off with

81
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: some fantasy headlines, shall we. There some big things that

82
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: happened on Sunday, maybe the biggest of which is Dalvin

83
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Cook going absolutely Ham just went kaboom on that Packers

84
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: run defense. An enormous day, four total touchdowns, over two

85
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: hundred scrimmage yards for Dalvin Cook. He finishes the day

86
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: with over forty points. That just missed out on the

87
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: fifty point mark. So the question becomes, though, I mean,

88
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: we know how good Dalvin Cook is. We know that

89
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: he's going to get the ball a lot. But if

90
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: you had to pick somebody for the rest of the season,

91
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: who would it be Derek Dalvin Cook or Derrick Henry.

92
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 1: I love how you you put the two of them together.

93
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: Those two guys were one running back, it would be

94
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: game over for the NFL. But if I had to

95
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: choose between Dalvin Cook and Derrick Henry just for the

96
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: rest of this season, I'm gonna rock with Dalvin Cook.

97
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: You can't not look at that game from yesterday and

98
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: have any doubt in your mind that he is one

99
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: of the best running backs in the National Football League.

100
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the times we've talked about

101
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and him having some regression going into the season.

102
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: Now it hasn't been as bad as a lot of

103
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: us had thought, but I think that Dalvin Cook can

104
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: be a lot more productive for the rest of the season,

105
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: especially looking at their strength of schedule moving forward. So

106
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook keeps cheffing it up, keep going kaboom. As

107
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: Marcus Grandson, I agree, I'm gonna I'm gonna lean toward

108
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook here, partially because all things being equal, Dalvin

109
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: Cook catches the ball slightly more. I mean, he's missed

110
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: some time, so, like you look at the reception numbers

111
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: and it doesn't seem to be that big of a disparity.

112
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: I think it's fourteen catches for Cook versus tin for

113
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. But factor in that Dalvin Cook did miss

114
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: some time with an injury, so that impacts it a

115
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: little bit. But I think he's a little bit more

116
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: of an efficient pass catcher than we're used to seeing

117
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: from Derrick Henry. And so I think, all things being equal,

118
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: knowing that both teams want to get their respective running

119
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: backs involved in the in the game in general, I'm

120
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: gonna lean with the guy that catches the football a

121
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: little bit more. Look, I have made my feelings about

122
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: PPR well known on this show, but we are living

123
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: in a PPR world, so you might as well take

124
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: advantage of the loophole, uh and go with the guy

125
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: that's going to catch the ball, and that is Dalvin Cook.

126
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: So uh, we'll see if he keeps this going. But

127
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: a huge day and also a reminder to start your

128
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: running backs against the Green Bay Packers. So any forty

129
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: Niners running backs that you have on your roster, consider

130
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: firing them up for Thursday night. Speaking of the forty Niners,

131
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: it was not a good day for them on Sunday. Sorry, sorry,

132
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: you know it's fine. Uh. You know, the the Niners

133
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: are not playing well. They're certainly beat up. That's not

134
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: necessarily an excuse, but they were lit up by the

135
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: Seahawks and in particular DK Metcalf, who had just a

136
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: huge game against San Francisco on Sunday, a hundred and

137
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: sixty one yards on twelve catches and a pair of touchdowns.

138
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: And right now as we sit and record this show,

139
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: your number one overall fantasy wide receiver is Tyler Lockett.

140
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: Your number three fantasy wide receiver is DK metcalf So

141
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: let's just let's just put it to a vote right here.

142
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: If you had to pick a Seahawks wide receiver for

143
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: the rest of the year, is a D K or

144
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: is it Tyler Lockett? Who you got? Yes? All of

145
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: them because we don't really know. But if I if

146
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: I absolutely had to think, I feel like I'm gonna

147
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: say DK metcalf on this one, just because I do

148
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: think there has been a little bit more consistency. Now.

149
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: The reason why Tyler Lockett's creeps into that conversation of

150
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: having the most fantasy points as a wide receiver this

151
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: season is because he'll go up and put almost, you know,

152
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: a forty five point fantasy game, but then I'll have

153
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: another game where he'll gets eight fantasy points, but those

154
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: forty five fantasy points completely weigh it out. Whereas whereas

155
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: DK Metcalfee is a little bit more consistent going that

156
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty point game that we've seen. Now, this was

157
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: the most targeted game of his career. Yesterday when they

158
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: were going up against the San Francisco forty niners. He

159
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: had fifteen targets. We could read a stat line a

160
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: hundred and six to one yards two touchdowns. He was

161
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. But if I had to choose from here

162
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: on out going forward, I do think that it's baby Lebron.

163
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: They said it himself. I think it's gonna be DK

164
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: Matcalf on this one. But I just want to say

165
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: one thing really quick. It's kind of related, kind of not.

166
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: This is just my luck. Last week I went up

167
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: against somebody in fantasy who had Tyler Lockett, and then

168
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: this week I went up against someone who had Dalvin Cook.

169
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: So either way it goes. I just always go up

170
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: against everyone who has like the beast Fantasy player of

171
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: the year. So that is like that is like the

172
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: worst feeling ever in fantasy, where you just know that

173
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: if a guy is having a big day, chances are

174
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: you're playing against him. And I'm not even looked at

175
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: the score. I'm just I'm I'm just I'm just taking

176
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: an l on that one. I'm just not even firing

177
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: up the end. Today, I was I was terrified to

178
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: go through my lineups and see how many times I

179
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: was playing against Dalvin Cook. And actually I think I

180
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: dodged any Dalvin Cook bombs yesterday, So uh that that's

181
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: a plus for me. As for this the Seahawks conundrum.

182
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm with you on ongoing DK Metcalf, and I flashed

183
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: back to what I was saying back in the summer,

184
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: where if you were picking both these guys, are picking

185
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: between both of these guys. I didn't think there was

186
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: necessarily a wrong answer, but I think I was more

187
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: on the Metcalf side simply because of what you talked

188
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: about the consistency and the safe floor from week to week.

189
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: You look at what Metcalf has done on a weekly basis.

190
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: Aside from last week's game against the Cardinals when he

191
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: just had twenty three receiving yards and it was pretty

192
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: much shut down by Patrick Peterson, Metcalf has had ninety

193
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: two or more receiving yards in every single game this season,

194
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: so he has been the picture of consistent. See. It

195
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: also helps that he's a great deep threat with a

196
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: quarterback in Russell Wilson who throws maybe the best deep

197
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: ball in the NFL. So that is kind of a

198
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: match made in heaven. Tyler Lockett, you love those huge

199
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: blow up games. You love when he does things like

200
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: he did last week going off for two hundred yards,

201
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: but then he follows it up with thirty three yards

202
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: and that has generally been the m O for him

203
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: in his career. So I like roller coasters. I like

204
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: them an amusement parks, So I don't like them on

205
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: my fantasy football team. And so for that reason, I'm

206
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna stay with DK Metcalf. But again, I

207
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: don't think there's really a wrong answer. If you have

208
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, you're feeling pretty okay about what you're getting

209
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: from him so far this season. Okay, the Dolphins surprised

210
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: everybody and certainly surprised Jared Golf and the Rams. That

211
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense went out and just ball. They got you

212
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: twenty fantasy points. They had uh some turnovers, they scored

213
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns, and really just helped the Dolphins

214
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: boat race the Rams on Sunday. But it was also

215
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: a question of what happened to Jared Goff. I mean,

216
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: he just looked miserable, He struggled in the pocket, he

217
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: threw interceptions. How worried should we be about him right now?

218
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: You know? I think we've been worried about Jared Goff

219
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: for a few weeks now, especially in terms of fantasy football.

220
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: But it was kind of cringe worthy to watch him

221
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: yesterday because regardless of us just being fantasy football enthusiasts,

222
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: we we like the NFL, we root for all of

223
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: the players, and to see him in that situation where

224
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: he was just getting pummeled by that defense, it seems

225
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: like he didn't have a lot of good connections with

226
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: his receivers. You could tell that the coaching staff was

227
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: incredibly upset with him as well, And it just kind

228
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: of goes to show that Jared Goff, he really is

229
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: a streaming quarterback in terms of fantasies, and you need

230
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: to be careful of these matchups that on paper could

231
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: look really enticing. But then we go out and look

232
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: at this scenario that happened yesterday. I don't think any

233
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: of us fantasy analysts were going out telling people to

234
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: start the Miami Dolphins defense against Jared Goff. Instead, we

235
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: were saying that you want to maybe fade to uh

236
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: because of at Aaron Donald and that Ram's defensive situation.

237
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: So a lot of head scratching and kind of raising

238
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: eyebrows for Jared Goff. I think that at best he's

239
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: a streaming option. I think they're lucky that they have

240
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: a bye this week. But then they go on to

241
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: face Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, and if they

242
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: want to stay competitive in that match, Jared Goff really

243
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: needs to make sure that he understands what his offensive

244
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: scheme is, and for us fantasy managers, we understand that

245
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: that is not going to be the game to start him. Now.

246
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm very curious if other teams are going to look

247
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: at what the Dolphins did and try and and duplicate

248
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: that as much as possible. They brought a lot of

249
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: pressure golf, turned it over four times, two interceptions, a

250
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: pair of fumbles lost, was sacked the number of times.

251
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: It just was not a good day all around. And

252
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, they do have the buy to sort

253
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: of regroup and then on paper the week after that

254
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: is what's a good matchup against the Seahawks. But you

255
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: wonder how Pete Carroll may scheme things up to try

256
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: and come after Golf a little bit, and even after

257
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: that the matchups aren't great. They go to Tampa Bay

258
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: to face the Bucks. They've got the forty Niners, who

259
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: will see how hell they are. The Cardinals are right

260
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: after that, and they've been pretty tough on quarterbacks, so

261
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: you're right. I think you know, Jared goff Is is

262
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: kind of a streaming guy. He had a nice little

263
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: stretch in the middle of the season, but the last

264
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: three weeks he's been below seventeen points in each of

265
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: the last three games. So now it's it's a situation

266
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: where I think Jared goff kind of goes back to

267
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: your fantasy bench and maybe you stream him when the

268
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: matchup is right and you see what's gonna go on there. So,

269
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: speaking of disappointments, let's talk about some guys that maybe

270
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: let folks down when we didn't expect that to happen

271
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: on Sunday, And the first one is Jonathan Taylor and

272
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: j I mean, I think we're still waiting for the

273
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: big breakout Jonathan Taylor game. I mean, a lot of

274
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: folks were hyped about him, especially going to Indianapolis behind

275
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: that offensive line, and we have not had the great game.

276
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: We thought maybe it would come against the Lions and

277
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: their run defense, which is not very good. But it

278
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: seems like every other cult except Jonathan Taylor scored a

279
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: touchdown on Sunday. Um, I mean, is it time to

280
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: push the panic button? Have we gone past that time?

281
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: With Jonathan Taylor. I mean, how are we feeling now?

282
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: I feel like we bought up Jonathan Taylor quite a

283
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: bit this entire season, and we keep saying no, no, no,

284
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: He's still the lead back in that offense. So just

285
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: keep on keeping on, just hang on tight. But I

286
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: think now is the time to fully hit the panic

287
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: button and and consider is Jonathan Taylor a must start

288
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: each and every week? Now? You talked about the Detroit lines.

289
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: That was a beatabule Detroit run defense. But Jonathan Taylor

290
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: he only managed two yards per carry against them, and

291
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: he didn't do well with the passes that were sent

292
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: his way either. Now, it was funny every single time

293
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: I saw the stat line and the score go up

294
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: in that game on red zone, I kept looking. I

295
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: was like, no, is it is it Jonathan Taylor? What

296
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: number is that? And it wasn't him at all. Now

297
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: I do have a share of Jonathan Taylor, and now

298
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: maybe it's the moment to put him out on the

299
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: trade block and see what I can get in return,

300
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: because the stat lines that he's putting up, it's just

301
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: not worth it for me, especially as I look ahead

302
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: for the fantasy playoffs. You know, little run we have

303
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: going in a few weeks to keep him in my

304
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: starting lineup. This has been really frustrating. And Jonathan Taylor

305
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: and DeAndre sw if you know, who were playing against

306
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: each other on Sunday. Coincidentally enough, they were considered the

307
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: top two running backs in this draft class, with Clyde

308
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilary close behind them, and c h has honestly

309
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: been the best of the three so far. Uh, It's

310
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: it's just sort of baffling. And I know there are

311
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people who are are tape eaters right

312
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: now who are kind of combing through Jonathan Taylor's carries

313
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: this year to trying to figure out what exactly has

314
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: gone wrong so far and what might be fixable. And

315
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: I know probably chief among them are Frank Rank and

316
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: Nick Sirianni there in Indianapolis trying to see how they

317
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: can get their young running back on track. But it

318
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: is starting to be concerning. And and you know, here

319
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: we are about halfway through the season. You have not

320
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: gotten the return on investment you had hoped for from

321
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, and it is fair to wonder whether or

322
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: not it's going to happen this year. We'll talk a

323
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: little bit more about j T later on in the show.

324
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews another one who had sort of a rough Sunday,

325
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: And yeah, I did have a little bit of concern

326
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: going into this game that maybe Andrews might not have

327
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: a great matchup against the Steelers, but figured the way

328
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: he gets targeted in that that Baltimore offense and maybe

329
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: he could sort of make up for it and volume.

330
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: That was not the case. And Jimmy, he's had a

331
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: couple of really down games. I mean, is this was

332
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: this just a matchup that was bad or is there

333
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: something bigger that we should be concerned about. I mean,

334
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: I really do think it's just the matchup, because if

335
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: you look at the tight end position, who else are

336
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: you going out there and starting over Mark Andrews on

337
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: a week to week basis. Now you talk about the volume,

338
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: we are so used to Lamar Jackson getting Mark Andrews

339
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: the ball, especially down in the red zone and him,

340
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, emphasizing on that and scoring. I think this

341
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: was an off week. Again, he said he's kind of

342
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: had a few games where he's not been so hot.

343
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: But you have to look at the tight end position

344
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: and really ask yourself, is it worth it? Having Mark

345
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Andrews on the bench. The answer is absolutely not. I agree. Uh,

346
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, and I think I flashed back to that

347
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: game a few weeks ago. It was a Monday night

348
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: game where he had a couple of drops, and then

349
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: it was kind of a big deal. And even at

350
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: that time I sort of said, you know, the reason

351
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: people freaked out was because it was an island game

352
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: where everybody was watching. If Mark Andrews has a game

353
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: with multiple drops and it happens in the middle of

354
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, six games on a Sunday morning, Uh, then

355
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: people don't necessarily pay attention to it because you're not

356
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: seeing every play. And I think on the whole, Andrews

357
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: is still one of the top tight ends in fantasy football.

358
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: And you're right, You're not gonna find a better, more

359
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: consistent option out there, you know, unless you you have

360
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: a George Kittle, you know, when he's healthy, if you

361
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: have a Travis Kelsey, even a Darren Waller. Uh, you know,

362
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews still slots in with those guys, because what

363
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Go and play what Moiley Cox?

364
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean, what about what are you gonna do? You know,

365
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: hope that Eric Ebron comes through with another touchdown each

366
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: and every week. So this wasn't great, But I don't

367
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: know that I'm really freaking out about it. You just

368
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: kind of chalked this up to the Steelers defense and

369
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: you move on. So one last this big disappointment, and

370
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: this sort of has to do with your Kansas City Chiefs,

371
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: Levan Bell, who we all thought was going to get

372
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: some measure of revenge on the New York Jets, and

373
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. The Chiefs didn't really need him. I mean,

374
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: they didn't run the ball a whole lot. They didn't

375
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: really need to run the ball a whole lot. But

376
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: even when lev got his hands on the ball, was

377
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: just not very effective. Um, I don't know what to

378
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: make of this? Is what do you? What do you?

379
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: How are you feeling now about Levian Bell after what

380
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: happened on Sunday? Well, I think it's a disappointment because

381
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, even on our Sunday Fantasy show, we're saying,

382
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: absolutely start c e h, absolutely start lead Bell. This

383
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: is gonna be a fun revenge game. Andy Reid is

384
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: going to dish out a plate a petty It's gonna

385
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: be amazing. But then the Kansas City Chiefs decided no, no, no,

386
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: this is going to be a passing ball game because

387
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: the Jets were actually pretty good at trying to shut

388
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: down the run. And then it was funny. Patrick Mahomes

389
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: made a quote this morning. He was like, you know,

390
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: it felt really good to show the world that we

391
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: could still dominate the passing game as well as well.

392
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't think anyone was worried about Tyreek

393
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: Hill and Travis Kelsey and all the other amazing receivers

394
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: we have on that team, but in terms of leve Bell,

395
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: it was disappointing. And and this is why I kind

396
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: of was questioning why people were freaking out about Clyde Edwards,

397
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: a layer, and lead Bell being on the same team,

398
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: because leave Bell just wasn't productive when he did get

399
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: the ball, and that's kind of the same scenario of

400
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: what he did when he was on the Jets. By

401
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: no mean, is that is that a slight or is

402
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: that shade against him and and his his his ability

403
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: to be a productive running back in the NFL. But

404
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: he's not as good as people may have thought, especially

405
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: in terms of fantasy football. So I do think that

406
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: this continues to solidify that c H is the lead

407
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: back in that offense. I think we're going to see

408
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: games where lady On Bell can have an opportunity to

409
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: really run the ball and showcase his speed and why

410
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City did pick him up. But this was surprising,

411
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: but it also kind of wasn't because if you look

412
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: at a stat line from when he was a Jet,

413
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: he wasn't as productive as all the hype. Kind of said,

414
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: it's been a long time since we've seen Levian Bell

415
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: have one of those huge blow up games. It's been

416
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: a long time since we've seen him break a long run.

417
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: Then I I, you know, I'd have to go back

418
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: and dig, but it's been a long time since he's

419
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: had like a twenty yard run. So you do start

420
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: to wonder whether or not we have seen the best

421
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: of Levian Bell come and go. At this point, I

422
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: still think there will be some decent games to come

423
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: for him. But I think if anything, if you have

424
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire, you do feel a little bit better

425
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: about his status within the Chiefs offense. Both these guys

426
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: are still gonna get snaps, They're still going to get touches.

427
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: Because I think that was Kansas City's plan all along.

428
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: It's sort of changed when Damian Williams opted out at

429
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: the start of the season, but I think we kind

430
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: of got back to that. But c h is the

431
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: lead back there in Kansas City. But Love bell Man,

432
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: that was not at all what we were expecting to

433
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: see against the Jets on Sunday Okay. Today's show is

00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: by castrol Edge. As always on my day, we do

441
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: check marks the spot. We pick three guys and Kimme

442
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: checks gives us her thoughts on what is in store

443
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: for them in the future. So there are three eyes,

444
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: three running backs that had particularly big days. And so

445
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: now I'm going to ask you for your level of

446
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: confidence on a scale of one to five, one being

447
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: the least confident, five being the most confident. How confident

448
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: are you in these guys actually having success going forward.

449
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: So let's start with Niheem Hinds. And we talked earlier

450
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: about Jonathan Taylor. In fact, we're gonna talk a lot

451
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 1: about this Colt back field today because it's just as

452
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: kind of a head scratcher for me. But now he

453
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: behinds had the big day, just sixty two total yards,

454
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: but he had a pair of touchdowns. He also had

455
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: a pretty phenomenal gymnastics round off in the end zone

456
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: after he scored one of his touchdown, so props to

457
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: him for that. But on a scale of one to five,

458
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: how confident are you that this is the real deal

459
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: for Niheim Hinds? Can I do? Can I? Can I

460
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: do a two point five? I feel like this is

461
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: the right It's give in a bard between one and five, Like,

462
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: come on down, Bob, I'm gonna go with the two

463
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 1: point five on this one, because, like we said, we

464
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: still think Jonathan Taylor is a lead back in that offense.

465
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: Right Maybe no, we don't know. It's so confusing. And

466
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: this is the hard part because the hem hines he

467
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: had fifty seven scrimmage yards with no touchdowns over the

468
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: last two games, but then he had those two receiving

469
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns in fifty four receiving yards yesterday. So the inconsistency

470
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: is too much for me to try to figure out.

471
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: I love his gymnastics and the fact that he can

472
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: flip once he does get into the end zone, but

473
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: it's not happening often enough for me to go above

474
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: a two point five. The Colts said that Frank Reich,

475
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: the head coach, I think the offensive recording to Nick Sirianni,

476
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: said before the season that there could be a game

477
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: we're not hem Hines will have ten catches. Now it

478
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: didn't happen on Sunday. Only had three receptions, but two

479
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: of them in the in the end zone, And so

480
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: I think there's always going to be a role for

481
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: him in this offense. But I don't think you're going

482
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 1: to see this sort of production consistently from him. So

483
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: I would say that, you know, I'm making it too

484
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: I guess for me, my my level of confidence. But

485
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: it was a nice week for nahem Hines for anybody

486
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: who started him, which I'm pretty sure is essentially no one.

487
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: Uh So, so good luck getting it going that happened

488
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: again in the future. Um. Meanwhile, Zack moss In Buffalo.

489
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: He had a two touchdown day as well for the

490
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: Bills and there when over the New England Patriots, which

491
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: to the frustration, but probably not surprised if anybody who

492
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: started Devin Singletary, because that's Singletary's lot in life. But

493
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: after what you saw from Zack Moss one to five,

494
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: how confident are you that this was the breakout game

495
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: we've been waiting for. This is one that I'm a

496
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: lot more confident in, and I want to give him

497
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: a four. I've had Zack Moss on my bench for

498
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: a while now because I've been really waiting for these

499
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: breakout performances in these breakout games, and he has been

500
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: quietly incredibly productive this entire fantasy season. He had two

501
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns yesterday eighty one yards, and though he did

502
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: finish with your rushing yards van Devin Singletary, we do

503
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: have to pay attention to his touch down upside, scoring

504
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in the last five games played this season,

505
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 1: whereas Devin Singletary, he's allergic to the end zone for

506
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: so for that touchdown upside alone, I like Zack Moss

507
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: and I'm giving him a four for the rest of

508
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: the season. One thing that I put out on Twitter

509
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and after, you know, Zack Moss had his day,

510
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people were sort of saying, well, Zack

511
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: Moss is, you know, he's a better running back than

512
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, And my response was, I don't know necessarily

513
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: that that's the case. He's a more valuable fantasy running

514
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: back than Devin Singletary because he does score touchdowns, like

515
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: I continue to maintain that Devin Singletary still needs three

516
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: forms of I D in order to enter the end zone.

517
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: So in that respect, Zack Moss is going to be

518
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: the more valuable guy. But Singletary is still very effective.

519
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: He just tends to do his work between the twenties

520
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: and it takes a big play for him to get

521
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 1: in the end zone. So I think both of these

522
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: guys are good. I think the Bills are going to

523
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: continue to use them very effectively, a sort of a

524
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: thunder and lightning duo. So I say that, you know,

525
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: this is I think a good thing for Zach Moss.

526
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see what performances like this, And

527
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't just completely toss s Deevin Singletary away. I

528
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: think he's a good running back. I just wish they would,

529
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, throw him a bone every once in a

530
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: while and let him score a touchdown. The guy does

531
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,479
Speaker 1: a lot of good work, uh, you know, let him

532
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: get a treat every so often, all right. So on

533
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: the other side of that game was Damien Harris for

534
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, and Harris, for the second time

535
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: this year, went over a hundred rushing yards in an

536
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: offense that seems to still be kind of scuffling and

537
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: trying to figure things out. How confident are you from

538
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: one to five that Damien Harris might be the answer

539
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 1: back there. I'm going way lower on this one than

540
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: I was with Zack Moss. I'm going with the two

541
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: because you guys, we understand, do not ever trust a

542
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: New England Patriot running back, right, do not ever trust

543
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: a New England Patriot running back. I swear Bill Belichick

544
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,239
Speaker 1: like he wants to die. He wants to kill all

545
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: of our fantasy dreams because he understands that we're in

546
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: this conundrum every single season. Now again, this was the

547
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: second kind of really breakout game for Damien Harris, and

548
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: he has emerged as the Patriots leading backfield rushing option,

549
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: but we need to manage the workload expectations because Cam

550
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: Newton is still rushing the ball, and Cam Newton is

551
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: rushing the ball while also rushing it and getting into

552
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: the end zone. So, yes, Damien Harris has been great.

553
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: We could read the stat lines, we can make arguments

554
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: that you should start him each and every week, But

555
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: my trust level is still out of two because we

556
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: we know with Bill Belichick and the running backs who

557
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: played for the Patriots, it's going to constantly be a

558
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: circular rotation of one guy has a great week and

559
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,239
Speaker 1: then the next week it's a whole different guy. So

560
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with my two on Damien Harris. I think

561
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm slightly more confident. I'll give it a three. Uh

562
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: maybe if I have a full belly of three and

563
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: a half. But because I think that he is he's

564
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: the guy that shows the most juice of anybody in

565
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: that backfield. I mean, we sort of know what James

566
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: White is. Rex Birkehead is kind of a nice fill

567
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: in when they need to and you can do a

568
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: lot of different things, but I do think at some

569
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: point they want a guy that they feel like can

570
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: be a consistent workhorse back or something close to it,

571
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna be Damian Harris. I think

572
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: he's I think he's ready to push Sony Michelle out

573
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: of a job whenever Michelle is back healthy and ready

574
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,239
Speaker 1: to play again for New England. So I do think

575
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: there is an element of concern. There's always I mean,

576
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: Bella tricks can always rear their ugly head once in

577
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: a while, and I do think at some point Cam

578
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: Newton is gonna continue to run the football because that

579
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: makes this offense more dynamic, especially if they can't throw

580
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: it consistently because of their pass catcher situations. So there

581
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: are concerns, There are reasons to be a little bit

582
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: skeptical of of Damon Harris, but I think he's sort

583
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: of the best back that the Patriots have right now,

584
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: and so for that reason I am I am slightly

585
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: more confident. I'm not ready to go all in. I'm

586
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: not ready to push all the chips into the table

587
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: for Damian Harris is yet, but I am feeling a

588
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: little bit better about what I've seen. I mean, while

589
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: for the rest of you out there, if you guys

590
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: want to vote on which of these guys you feel

591
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: the most confident in going for it. You can go

592
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: to Kimmi Checks his Twitter page at twitter dot com

593
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: slash kimmy Checks. You can vote there and let us

594
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: know your thoughts on which are these running backs you

595
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: think has the most staying power Beyond weekend, It's Monday,

596
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: so it's time to talk some waiver wire picks as

597
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 1: we head into week nine of the NFL season, and

598
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: it's always getting a little bit harder to kind of

599
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: dig through some waiver wire options as well, and uh,

600
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: we got a few out here. Will show the board

601
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: up there real quick for the folks watching the show.

602
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: And at the quarterback spot, Drew Lock, who engineered that

603
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: nice comeback for the Broncos against the Chargers. He's up there.

604
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: Derek Carr another option this week if you're looking to

605
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: stream quarterbacks at the running back spot. If you've got

606
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: some depth and you can wait, Malcolm Brown's a good

607
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: option even though the Rams are on by this week,

608
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: so just keep in mind you won't get to use

609
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: him right away. D J Dallas, Jamachael Hasty. At some

610
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: point you take a shot, maybe the two Colts and

611
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: Nihim Hines and Jordan Wilkins. Your wide receivers Marvin Hall,

612
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: especially depending on how serious the injury to Kenny Golladay

613
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: is this week, keep an eye on that. Mike Williams

614
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: another guy who is out there and getting some throws

615
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: from Justin her at the tight end. If you're looking

616
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,719
Speaker 1: to stream there, Jordan's Aikins for the Texans is an option.

617
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: And for the constrem of defense. Uh, there is the

618
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: Washington football team that could be out there and a

619
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: nice option for you. They take on the Giants next week,

620
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: so that's one to keep an eye on. But let's

621
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: go back to the running back spots. People are always

622
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: thirsty for fantasy running backs. DJ Dallas had a couple

623
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: of touchdowns against the forty Niners on Sunday. Chris Carson

624
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide did not play. Now it looks like Carson

625
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: might be able to come back next week. He was

626
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: sort of fifty fifty for Sunday, but Hide might be

627
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: a bit of a longer situation. Anything about what you

628
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: saw from DJ Dallas that would get you intrigued about him,

629
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: it was an intriguing performance. I think he finished yesterday's

630
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: game with twenty two fantasy points right around there, which

631
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: is impressive because I don't think DJ Jallas was a

632
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: name on your eyes list this season long as a

633
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: guy who could be productive in fantasy football. Now, he

634
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: did account for eighteen of the team's twenty eight rushing attempts,

635
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: and though he was a crazy efficient in terms of yards,

636
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: he did uh what, he was able to get into

637
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: the end zone on a one yard touchdown late in

638
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, which helps clinch that victory for the

639
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. But I think the thing here that's really

640
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: impressive and something that we should continue to pay attention to,

641
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: especially with Chris Carson and Carlos Hide still on the

642
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: fringe of plane with those injuries, is that he did

643
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: get involved in the passing game and he was able

644
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: to convert on all five of his targets into reception.

645
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: So kind of an impressive performance and a guy who

646
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: you know deservedly gets to be on the waiver wire

647
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: list this week. I will say that I sort of

648
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: shied away from recommending DJ Dallas this week in part

649
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: because I thought the Niners defense would put up maybe

650
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: more of a resistance than it did, but also because

651
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: I expected to see more Travis Homer in there. But

652
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: this was a really heavy usage for Dallas this week,

653
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: so that, I guess kind of gives me more confidence

654
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: going forward just in case there are more injuries that

655
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 1: we could see a lot of DJ Dallas on the field.

656
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: But even if Chris Carson is back, A lot of

657
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: people pointed this out that uh Dallas could step in

658
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: and sort of play that role that ra Shot Penny

659
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: had in years past, which is not a bad place

660
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: to be. You know you're gonna get on the field,

661
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna get some opportunities. So again, if you have

662
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: some wide receiver or some running back issues this week,

663
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: and look, keep in mind the Browns UH and the

664
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: Bengals are off, so that means you know, Kareem Hunt's

665
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: not available. That means that you know Jeoe Bernard or

666
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon aren't going to be available for you. So

667
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: there are going to be some teams that need running back,

668
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: So d J Dallas could be an option for you

669
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: if you were hurting at that spot. The other one

670
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: is Drew Lock at the quarterback position, and I went

671
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: into this past week thinking that he could be a

672
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: sleeper against the Chargers. Uh As the meme says, not

673
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: gonna lie. They had us in the first half. Like

674
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: at halftime, I was like, this is not working out

675
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: at all. He ended up rallying in the in the

676
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter especially, and ended up with a an eight

677
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: team point day, which for extreaming quarterback I think is

678
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: not a bad day this week. Now he it's the Falcons,

679
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: I would think that if you were streaming a quarterback

680
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: this week, Jimmy drew Lock has to be on your radar.

681
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: Drew Luck has to be on your radar. Which is

682
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: why it's crazy to me that he's only rostered and

683
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: two percent of NFL dot com leagues. I double checked

684
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: that this morning because I was like, no way, just

685
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: two percent, And yes it is two percent of NFL

686
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: dot com leagues. Now, speaking of that matchup, going up

687
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, they've given up the most fantasy points

688
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks this entire season. But this isn't the only

689
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: week where he does have a favorable matchup. After he

690
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: goes on and he plays the Falcons, then the Broncos

691
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: go on and take on the Las Vegas Raiders, who

692
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: are giving up the eighth most fantasy points to quarterbacks.

693
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: So drew Lock absolutely a valuable streaming option. I think

694
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: it was really impressive to see what he did with

695
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy and Dave Shawn Hamilton's yesterday. He found those

696
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: connections with his receivers. He plays with swaging confidence as well,

697
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: which is really fun. And you can tell that he's

698
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: not afraid of throwing the ball, which in terms of fantasy,

699
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: that's absolutely what we want. And another thing to note

700
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: this week, and these guys aren't necessarily super fantasy relevant,

701
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: but the Bengals, the Browns, the Eagles, and the Rams

702
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: are out on a by So if you do have

703
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: any of those quarterbacks who are starting for you, Drew

704
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: Lock is someone who's definitely available and out there on

705
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: most waiver wires, and you can go ahead and pick

706
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: up and stream. I think Drew Lock is You mentioned

707
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: that the schedule look coming right. They've got the Falcons

708
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: and they've got the Raiders h so there there are

709
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: some opportunities to get Drew Lock on the field. I

710
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: think the other part of it is you mentioned that

711
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that are on a buy, So if you

712
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: have Carson Wentz, right, you're you're not gonna have him

713
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: available to you. But there are also some other quarterbacks

714
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: that people might start that don't have great matchups. I mean,

715
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: Drew Brees has to deal with the Buccaneers in Tampa.

716
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: That's not particularly a great matchup on paper for him. Uh.

717
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if you're starting at quarterback

718
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: at this point, but you know, even on the flip side,

719
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Rodgers, I don't know if you're scared

720
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: or not about him against the forty nighter defense, but

721
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: that's one to kind of keep in mind. So there

722
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: are some some matchups that might kind of give you

723
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: pause this this week coming up. So Drew lock should

724
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: be on the radar there. Uh, if you were, if

725
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: you have a top waiver claim priority this week, where

726
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: are you using it? You're gonna like this because it's

727
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niner and I'm gonna go with

728
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: Jim Michael Hasty. Now, I know he didn't have any

729
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: crazy performance yesterday at twenty nine rushing yards, but he

730
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: did get a chance to go into the end zone.

731
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: But I like him and I want to grab him

732
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, especially because of that matchup. Next week,

733
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: the forty Niners go on and they take the Green

734
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: Bay Packers, who earlier in the show we said you

735
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: want to start all of your running backs against the

736
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, because they're not so great as a

737
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: run defense. Another part of why I like Hasty this

738
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: week is because Jimmy G he struggled yesterday. Right there's

739
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: still a lot of conversation that he's still dealing with

740
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: that high ankle sprain. And even when you saw him

741
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: wind up to throw the ball yesterday, you could see

742
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: that he was hurting, and that's why his receivers and

743
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: guys even like George Kittle, did not play well whatsoever.

744
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: So I do think they're gonna look to run the

745
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: ball a lot more to kind of help alleviate some

746
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: of that pressure from Jimmy G. So in that case,

747
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: I think Hasty goes and he steps right on up.

748
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: I like Jamchael Hasty as a top pic. I would also,

749
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, maybe get Zack Moss uh, give him a try,

750
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: just because I think he's got maybe some longer staying

751
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: power as well, after what we saw on Sunday from

752
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: him in that Bill's offense. A couple of quick notes.

753
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: One I misspoke I wanted to correct. It was almost

754
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: twenty points for Drew Lock. He had nineteen point eight

755
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: fantasy points. So that was a big plus there, and

756
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: other thing news from Ian Rappaport tweeted just as we

757
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: were speaking. Just now, Kenny golla Day is expected to

758
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 1: be out this week and he's considered week to week

759
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: with a hip injury that happened on Sunday. So if

760
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: you are looking for wide receiver help, Marvin Hall might

761
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: be a name to remember. He stepped up and had

762
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: over a hundred receiving yards on Sunday for the Lions.

763
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: So that's just something to sort of keep in mind

764
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: if you need some help at the position coming up

765
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: this week. You might be watching this show on YouTube

00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Game Day on Sunday's We all streamed there

771
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: on that channel. Plus we have plenty of other things

772
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: that are should be of your interest. If you like

773
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: fantasy football or if you just like us, which is

774
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: one of those things is acceptable, so we would appreciate it.

775
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: They'll like and subscribe and enjoy all the goodness that

776
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: we put up there, all right, So after watching the games,

777
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: I came up with three general statements and what kind

778
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: of pass through these and figure out what we know,

779
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: what we think we know, and what we have no

780
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: idea about? And every Sunday, if you follow me on Instagram,

781
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: I do the things I learned where I kind of

782
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: pick and choose some some interesting things that came out

783
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: of the Sunday games. But this these are some things

784
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: that I am not completely sold on. So let's just

785
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: start because we've been talking a lot about Jonathan Taylor

786
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: and this Colts back field today. So Jonathan Taylor is

787
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: still the lead running back in Indianapolis. Do we know that?

788
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: Do we think we know? Or do we have no idea?

789
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: We we think we know because you heard us talking

790
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: earlier about Naheim Himes. We also mentioned Jordan Wilkins very briefly.

791
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: We really don't know what's going on in this backfield

792
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 1: and it's a complete mind cluster and I don't even

793
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: know how to go forward with it. So Marcus, I

794
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: think we know that Jonathan and Taylor is still the

795
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: leaved back in Indianapolis. What are your thoughts here? I

796
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: think we know it too. I am I'm closer to

797
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: we know that it is, but certainly his production has

798
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: not been such of a lead running back, and I

799
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: don't know if if it's just still him kind of

800
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: getting used to the blocking scheme and the offense here.

801
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: I know that for a lot of rookies, the one

802
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: thing they will tell you the difference between college and

803
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: the NFL is just the speed of the game. So

804
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the thing that Jonathan Taylor

805
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: is still getting used to. I still believe that he

806
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: is the lead running back in Indianapolis. The production just

807
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: hasn't matched. Now, if we continue to have these sorts

808
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: of production struggles, then we may have to revisit this

809
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: because we might start consistently seeing more of Jordan Wilkins

810
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: and Niheim Hines. I don't know how long the culture

811
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: going to and can stay with this, especially because they're

812
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: still certainly in the thick of things in the playoff race.

813
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: So you know, he is still the lead running back

814
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, But there are reasons to

815
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: be a little bit worried about him, all right. Cam

816
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 1: Newton was driving the struggle bus for a couple of weeks,

817
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 1: and I even told my spooky story on Fantasy Live

818
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 1: over the last week that uh, you know, I can't

819
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: imagine starting him, especially in this match up against the Bills.

820
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do and he would haven't

821
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: ha An okay day he had eighteen Fantasy points, you know,

822
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: not not a lot of big numbers, but certainly enough

823
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: to kind of keep you afloat. So after seeing that

824
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is going to be okay, do we know that?

825
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: Do we think we know or do we have no idea?

826
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: I'm still in this middle. I think we know type

827
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: of situation, but I'm leaning a little bit more we

828
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: know on this one because Cam Newton, he's still a

829
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: valuable quarterback and I don't think he's on the drop

830
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: of the list just yet. Maybe he truly is a

831
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: streaming quarterback instead, which should be no surprise because in

832
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: a lot of NFL drafts this season he would have

833
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: been taken as a QB number two, so he's already

834
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: a streamer. I think there's tons of upside with Cam Newton.

835
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: This is what we saw earlier on in the season

836
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: when he first debuted as a New England Patriot, where

837
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: he continued to run the ball seat he just ran

838
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: it into the ends of you guys are looking at

839
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: the reason why I say he has upside, the fact

840
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: that he is so elusive in the pocket, the fact

841
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: that he can run the ball and score himself. I

842
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: think this is why we think we know he's going

843
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: to be okay. So I'm a little bit more positive

844
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: on this one than I was with Jonathan Taylor. I'm

845
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna tell you that I have no idea what we're

846
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,919
Speaker 1: gonna do with Cam Newton. I mean, look, I think

847
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: what we saw yesterday was sort of refreshing. It was

848
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: nice to see him go out and have a decent

849
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: fantasy game. But even then, the numbers weren't pretty for

850
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, and this one that the passing yards wasn't huge,

851
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 1: the rushing yards was just okay, and he had the

852
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown which sort of kept him afloat. And I

853
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: fear that this is sort of what it's going to be.

854
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Julian Edelman had knee surgery. We're not sure

855
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: how long he's going to be out right now, and

856
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: kill Harry wasn't available. The Patriots offense as a whole

857
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: just seemed to be a mess. We're trying to figure

858
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 1: out the running back situation earlier with Damian Harris. So

859
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: what happened was sort of nice, but I don't a

860
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: hundred percent know that we're going to get good Cam

861
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: Newton games on a regular basis. So I look, I

862
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 1: have rosters where I have him, and I haven't dropped

863
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: him yet, but I'm also kind of hesitant to put

864
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 1: him in my lineup because I just honestly don't know

865
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: week to week, all right, one last one, Philip Lindsay

866
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: is the Broncos running back to trust do we know?

867
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: Do we think we know or do we have no idea?

868
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I really don't know. I don't know

869
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: at all, because what's going on with Melvin Gordon as well.

870
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon has still been decent production wise as a

871
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,959
Speaker 1: fantasy running back this entire season, but then here comes

872
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay and then here's my lovin Gordon, and then

873
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: it's a crowded backfield all over again. I don't know

874
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: why Melvin Gordon just attracts himself to crowded backfields. He

875
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: does it all the times. First it was the Chargers,

876
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 1: now it's the Broncos. I have no idea in this situation.

877
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay, he's great. We saw then he had almost

878
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: a hundred rushing yards. He had eighty three and a

879
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: touchdown yesterday against the Chargers. But I I, my men

880
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: have burned me so many times in my life, Marcus,

881
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: I really I don't know what to do anymore. This

882
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: is turning into what I feared it would be, and

883
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: which is basically a way of saying like, I don't know.

884
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: I have no idea who the Broncos running back to

885
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: trust is going to be. Because Philip Lindsay was very

886
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: good in his first two seasons. You're talking about an

887
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: undrafted guy who had a thousand yards and back to

888
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: back years. So it just seemed implausible to me that

889
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon was going to come in and Philip Lindsay

890
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: was going to vanish completely from this offense. And I

891
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: think that's what we saw yesterday against the Chargers. So

892
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is still going to get his snaps in

893
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: his touches, but so is Philip Lindsay. And my fear

894
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: the whole time is that this could turn into a

895
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,959
Speaker 1: hot hand situation, which is not going to be good

896
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: for anybody in fantasy because you just aren't gonna know

897
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: from week to week. So I think both of these

898
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: guys are startable, especially depending on the matchup. But I

899
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: don't think we're ever going to have any real clarity

900
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: as to who is going to be the lead act

901
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: there in Denver, So good luck. That's all I know.

902
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: So there we go. We will hopefully keep tuning in

903
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: and finding out things that we know. Is we get

904
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: a little bit closer to the end of the fantasy

905
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: regular season and the meantime, last election, millions and voters

906
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: were unable to cast their ballots. Why No Game Plan

910
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: the show, Eddie told us what's gonna go down on

911
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football between the Buccaneers and the Giant. So

912
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: we have a general idea of how that contest is

913
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: going to play out, but that let's get a little

914
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: more specific as we deal some fantasy football type knowledge here.

915
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: We'll start on the Buccaneer side. Chris Godwin had finger surgery.

916
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: We know he's out this week. We'll keep an eye

917
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: on what his availability will be going forward, but it

918
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: does mean that Mike Evans and Scottie Miller take a

919
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: more prominent role, presumably in the Buccaneers passing games. So

920
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: if you have to pick one between Evans and Miller,

921
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: who you got, Marcus, we need to go back to

922
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: the last segment where it was I know, I think,

923
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: I know, I don't know at all, because again, why

924
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: do we have all of these cut num drums and

925
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: all these these same guys on the same team splitting time?

926
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: But if I had to choose one, I am going

927
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: to rock with Mike Evans on this one. I think

928
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 1: there's a little bit more consistency for him, and weeks

929
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: two through five I think he averaged nineteen point five

930
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy points in that stretch, so really good numbers. However,

931
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,479
Speaker 1: I do have shares of Scottie Miller and my League

932
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,760
Speaker 1: of Record, and I need him to score twelve Fantasy

933
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: points tonight, So if he could do that, that would

934
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: be incredible. But for tonight's matchup and rest of the season,

935
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: I'm rocking with Mike Evans. Oh, you feel better because

936
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Scotty Miller here. Scott Miller came for

937
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: the for the Buccaneers. Look, I think that the Giants

938
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: are going to pay particular attention to Mike Evans and

939
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: just it's it's his his production has been so inconsistent.

940
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: They are using him occasionally down near the goal line,

941
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: They're not using him so much in between the twenties.

942
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 1: That seems to be where Scotty Miller is making hey,

943
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: especially with Chris Godwin not available. And let's one, let's listen,

944
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: let's exercise the notion that he's just some slot receiver.

945
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: I mean, millerd is a guy who's playing outside and

946
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: doing pretty well. Now. He may move to the slot

947
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: occasionally because Chris Godwin is not available, but I think

948
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: he's a guy who can excel, and especially with though Godwin,

949
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be more of a

950
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: Scotty Miller game tonight as opposed to Mike Evans. All right,

951
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: let's move to the backfield because Ronald Jones is having

952
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,479
Speaker 1: a good year, it seems. But then Leonard Fournette shows

953
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: up and starts taking food off of his plate. So

954
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: the Giants run defense and not particularly great. But between

955
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: Rojo and for Nette, who would you roll with Rojo?

956
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: It's Rojo? You hear that boxing bell, it's Rojoe beating

957
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: down Leonard for NET. Because he is still the number

958
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: one back in that offense. We understand that it's going

959
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: to be really close to a fifty split, sometimes the

960
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: sixty forty split. But regardless of Ronald Jones is still

961
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: the number one running back in that offense for Tom

962
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I'm rocking with him.

963
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: You cannot sway me on this one. I am going

964
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,479
Speaker 1: to agree with you and go with Ronald Jones here.

965
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: I still just believe in him, and I think that

966
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: the bucking are still want to make him their primary

967
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: back now. They do like working in LETTERD four NET.

968
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: So he's gonna get his opportunities, and I wouldn't be

969
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: surprised if he had some good production today. But I

970
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: still want the guy that is ostensibly the starter and

971
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: ostensibly going to see most of the snaps and the

972
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: types there, and for me, that's Ronald Jones. So I'm

973
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: gonna stick with Rojoe here. Alright, one last one, we're

974
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: gonna flip to the giant side of things. I would

975
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: imagine they're going to have to throw the football to

976
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: stay in this one. The Bucks defense is very good.

977
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: But the top two wide receivers on this Giant's roster

978
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: are Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepherd. So if you were

979
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 1: forced to pick one of them, which for the purposes

980
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: of the segment, you are, uh, Slayton or Shepherd, who

981
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 1: you got? I'm gonna go with the glass man Sterling

982
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: Shepherd on this one. I know that he is very

983
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: injury prone. I completely understand this, and I also understand

984
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: that for both of these guys. It's a really tough

985
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: matchup tonight, going up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who

986
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: are number eight against opposing fantasy wide receivers. So it's

987
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: gonna be tough either way. But Sterling Shepherd, he missed

988
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 1: four games earlier this season, and then he came back

989
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: and got six receptions for fifty nine yards and a

990
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: touchdown up against the Philadelphia Eagles. You see how I'm

991
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: running In that game right there, you could tell his

992
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: absence was missed and that Danny Dimes missed his receiving

993
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: option in Sterling Shepherd. So because of that, I'm gonna

994
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: rock with him in today's matchup. I'm gonna lean towards

995
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 1: Slayton here just because he seems to be the target

996
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: leader on this team, and it does seem like he

997
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: and Daniel Jones have a pretty good rapport with one another.

998
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: Now it's it's not a great matchup. I'm not going

999
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: to pretend like either one of these guys is gonna

1000
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: get you a huge outing. It would be a surprise

1001
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: to me if that happens. But I'm gonna say Slayton

1002
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: here because he's getting nearly seven targets a game. But again,

1003
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm not excited about either option for for this one.

1004
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: You know, we didn't ask because I don't think you

1005
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: mentioned it on Sunday, what was the smoked meat of

1006
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: the week at at Costa checks? Oh, at Costata checks,

1007
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: because we do every single weekend. This week we decided

1008
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: to do homemade wings, so we got twenty wings. We

1009
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: may wings. We I swear we need to have Trigger

1010
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: sponsor this show because I have become a total trigger

1011
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: grill fans. We fired them up on the trigger. We

1012
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: did a normal grilled wing, then we did a Kentucky

1013
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: bourbon karaoke wing, and then we did a homemade buffalo wing.

1014
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,439
Speaker 1: So Marcus once all of this COVID madness is done

1015
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,280
Speaker 1: and it is safe when we are not in mass

1016
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: You and your mom, whose birthday is today, and the

1017
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: entire family everyone can come to Costa Day Checks and

1018
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: we will have a smoked meats barbecue party. Absolutely totally

00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: down for that sounds great all right in the meantime

1020
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: for us. Still, that is it. We are done. We
