We bring your right in here to Studio 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.360 thirty four. You can will say what's up to my man? 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:23.640 Ted Finn Junr. I got my man the Manimal Chris 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.000 He's given it's so hot that we sweat steam. We 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.040 got a big show for you on a Tuesday. It's 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.959 very interesting because we're gonna be talking about waiver wire 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.200 ads for a week fourteen. The interesting part, though, is 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.880 half the people that were listening last week are not 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.520 in the playoffs maybe, and so your competition maybe less 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.800 for the waiver wire Wednesday. But I will still give 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.520 you people at every position the most heavily added, guys 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.080 who I like and who I think are full gazing 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:51.840 who you need to forget about. I'll give you a 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:56.280 little bit of a hint. I got a guy that 0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:00.320 I'm gonna give you that literally is one percent owned, 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.240 and I think he could be very valuable and important 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.880 for you, especially if you know you're struggling with the 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.680 Patriots tight end that might be suspended for your playoff week. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.880 I'm gonna talk about what happened on Monday Night Football 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.800 last night. There is a lot to discuss. Okay, I 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:16.960 know we talked fantasy, and we talked about the stats, 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:18.639 but we gotta take a step back a little bit 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.320 and also talk about what we saw on Monday Night 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:27.000 Football and how ABC, ESPN, the NFL both try to 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.760 like look down on the physicality and the quite some 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.160 of the dirty plays and some of the violence, but 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.960 at the same time they're glorifying it. We'll get into 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.639 that a little bit later on, and if it is Tuesday, 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.919 we are going to get some more nominees for hashtag 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:45.480 Game of Inches. This is an addition for the playoffs. 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.720 There are some people that won and lost their playoff 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.520 spots in their leagues because of some very close plays, 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.440 and there was some you know candidates from last night's 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.679 game as well. We will also later on in the 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.239 show open up the phone lines and take your calls. 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.959 As you know, the number is eight four four eight 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.680 four three six eight seven nine. Later on in the 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.919 show we will answer your calls. The status over beat 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.040 cipher is strong and I know y'all are going to 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.400 the playoffs, so you still need a little bit of 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.959 insight from your boy. Speeds the spitting Statistician will also 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.760 take some questions from the YouTube live stream. So if 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.640 you like what you're seeing over there, hit that like 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.160 button right there. You can put a question or a 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.720 comment in the feed and my guy Chris the analyst 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.320 Venture will synth the size those and get the best 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.760 of the best a little bit later on in the show, 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.480 and uh, I gotta pull a question up as I 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.000 usually do on Twitter at Spitting Speeds if you want 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.040 to follow which Waiver Wire add do you like the most? 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.800 Is that Peyton Barber and Tampa in there for pop 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.480 Quiz and Doug Martin? Is it Mike Davis in Seattle? 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.680 Maybe he is the back to finally own in Seattle 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.040 for the Seahawks. Is it Marquis Goodwin who maybe had 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.040 a little bit of a bond with Jimmy g or 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.280 somebody else. Let me know when we come back, we 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.840 go around the league, we do Game of Inches, and 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.800 we talk about Monday Night football. Come on back?

You know what it 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.840 is is a little ones taking it back for you. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.200 I used to love the sticky fingers versus this song. 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.640 I used to sing it at bomb Mitzvah's back in 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.600 the day. It is Dane Martinez Speeds. It's betting statistician 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.080 holding you down on the Fantasy Freestyle of the Fantasy 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.520 Sports Radio Network. Listen, we got some news and notes 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:02.800 we gotta get to, and then I want to talk 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.200 a little bit about what we saw on Monday Night football. 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.880 And then we got some Game of Inches playoff edition. 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.560 And you know, Bovona is the one over there, the 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.039 manimal down in the Fantasy Pit of misery. He is 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.680 going to be making our final decision there. It is 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:21.520 on our week thirteen Game of Inches. All right, So 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.760 Ryan shays here, the linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:30.920 been diagnosed with a spinal contusion. They're saying though, that uh, 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.479 he will not need surgery and that he continues to improve. 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.839 He will, however, stay in a Cincinnati area hospital for 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.039 a second night tonight. I gotta tell you this is 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.839 good news. That was very scary when you saw it. 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.120 When you saw it, it it was obvious that he was 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.040 trying to get feeling and see movement in his lower 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.320 extremities and it did not happen. You saw the reaction 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.799 of some of his teammates. You saw as they asked 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.640 even you know, after halftime, there was really no update. 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.120 They were being very tight lipped about it. I was 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.400 very worried. The news we were going to hear was that. Unfortunately, 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.760 Ryan Shazier still did not have that movement, but he 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.680 does have some movement in his legs right now. That 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:12.520 is incredible news, and a spinal contusion is something a 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.719 lot better than the alternative they're actually saying. You know, 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.600 guy like Tommy Maddox had this exact injury in the 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:22.040 past and only missed actually one game, So the outlook 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.360 is actually a lot brighter than you would have thought 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:28.719 about twenty two hours ago as it related to Ryan Shaysier. 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.080 It was, however, a very scary injury. That was not 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.440 the only scary hit or scary injury that we saw. 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:40.320 Joe Mixon is in the concussion protocol. Vontes Perfect went 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.479 down as well, And let me tell you something came 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:47.560 out today. Juju Smith Schuster got a one game suspension 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:52.200 because of that hit. I'm gonna tell you something. I think, honestly, 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.200 if Juju did not like stand over him and taunt 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:59.640 him and flex over Vontes perfets pretty much prone body 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.880 when he was almost knocked out. I would say, no, 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.080 he shouldn't get a suspension. I would have said no, 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.479 he shouldn't have even got a penalty. I actually thought 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.480 that that was a legitimately clean crackback block from Juju. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.680 Smith Schuster was kind of the perfect time, perfect angle 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.800 and he didn't see it coming, but then going overboard 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.040 kind of like staring over him and taunting him. That 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.680 I think is what got a one game suspension. The 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:29.080 Bengal safety George Iloca also got a one game suspension 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.960 for his hit on Antonio Brown. He was trying to 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.400 take a b out. Let me tell you how much 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.520 I know that that was the case. He wasn't even 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.880 focused on the play. The pass actually hit him in 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.680 the shoulder. If he was aware of what was going on, 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.920 he would have had a pick. He was going like 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.960 a heat seeking missile trying to take out Antonio Brown. 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:53.200 Georgie Lacola, he also got a one game suspension, should 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.920 have had an interception. Um Also Gronk appealed his suspension. 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.840 The appeal uh was her today, but the suspension is upheld. 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.280 Gronk will in fact miss Week fourteen Monday Night Football 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.600 against I do believe the Miami Dolphins. They say, um 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.800 a couple of injuries. To talk about practice reports in 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.840 terms of Thursday Night football, you know we always get 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.240 the real practice reports tomorrow for all the games on Sunday. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.440 Interesting to note though, as it relates Thursday Night football 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.080 the Saints and the Falcons Marcuts marshall On Lattimore returned 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.440 to practice. Remember he's been out with that ankle injury. 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.840 He returned to practice on a limited basis. I think 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.840 that's important because you know someone's got to try and 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.000 cover Julio Jones and then also mark Ingram. Though mark 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:39.959 Ingram did not practice today, that downgraded from limited work. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.160 He did get in yesterday. So keep an eye on 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.200 mark Ingram. I think they could be just managing his reps. 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.520 You know how teams do that from time to time, 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.920 especially on the short week. But keep an eye out 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.800 on what happens with mark Ingram moving forward. If not, 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:57.120 then oh my goodness, Alvin Kamara even more usage, even more, 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.760 a bigger share of the pie there. I'll give you 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.480 my view for Thursday Night Football a little bit later 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.360 on in the week before we get there on Thursday. 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:06.719 But let's talk a little bit more about what we 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.480 saw last night Monday Night Football. I told you, I 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.400 told you yesterday on this show before the game started. 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.559 I said, this was a very physical matchup. I said 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.520 that there was maybe a bounty out on some players. 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.719 I said that last night, and by the way they 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.160 were head hunting with Antonio Brown, I don't think I 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.520 was that far off you saw, and all the more 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.040 reason to use the trick. I told you that I 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.280 thought they were gonna go after Levian Bell. I said 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.440 James Conner would have been a guy to own, but 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:37.720 instead it turns out that Giovanni Bernard could have been 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.600 a guy that you could have picked up yesterday and 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.560 now is in prime position. Remember, Jeremy Hill is already 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.079 on I R. Joe Mixon has likely a concussion. It 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.280 is gonna be a race against time for Joe Mixon 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.720 on a short week, and if not, fire up Giovanni 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.600 Bernard as a very interesting play against the Chicago Bears 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.679 next week. A very interesting DFS play as well, and 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.320 I thought it was very interesting about like this rivalry 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:04.880 they asked Big Ben. He was just like, yo, it's 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.400 AFC North football. But he as they also said, when 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.839 they play the Ravens, they expect a good, clean, hard 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.360 for physical, grind out matchup. When they play the Bengals, though, 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.200 they have concern for the health and safety because of 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.679 dirty plays. And boy did it come out like that again. 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.480 But here's what I gotta tell you. If they are 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:29.280 frowning on this, then why did every single commercial break 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.880 when they were coming back on Monday Night Football? It 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.719 was like, remember the time when they injured Ben Roethlisberger. 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.920 Remember the time when they injured Kenny Anderson in the 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.679 early eighties, Remember the time they had to put in 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.760 a new rule because Ryan Shazier led with the crown 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.280 of his helmet and concustant injured Giovanni Bernard. They were 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:54.000 like disappointed in it, but glorifying it at the same time. 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.640 That's like remember when ESPN used to do that segment 0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.360 like oh he got jacked up? They were glorifying and 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.559 looking down their nose at it at the same time. 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.000 They gotta decide which way they want to play it. 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.480 Is this a battle of gladiators that they want to 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.640 pump up and understand there's gonna be some violence or 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.680 is football a different game now they're like, oh my god, 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.959 this game is so hard hitting. Oh my god, this 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.080 game is so rough. Me and Tony were talking about 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.000 it last hour. It's football. That's the way it's supposed 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.920 to be, as long as it's clean, right, So which 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.280 way is it? The NFL cannot have it both ways. 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.600 I gotta tell you something. The Steelers look like a 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.560 stacked contender when you have Martevis Bryant and Jujuice Smith 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.920 Schuster and Antonio Brown and Levian Bell, and you give 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.280 Ben Roethlisberger, a veteran quarterback who understands where you're trying 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.840 to blitz from where you're trying to scheme. If he 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.320 can identify the matchup, if it's the good matchup with 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.240 Martevis Bryant or Antonio Brown or killing it and going 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.600 to Levy on Bell, there are some good options there. 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.360 And look at the Steelers schedule for the rest of 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.440 the season. They only have one more road game. Everyone 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.440 talks about, Oh I love the Steelers at home. There's 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.240 only one more road game. They are ten and two 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:05.200 right now. They have home games against Baltimore against the 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:09.000 Patriots and against the Cleveland Browns. Their only road game 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.560 is at the Houston Texans. The Houston Texans are currently 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:17.079 in the NFL against the pass and can be had. Um. 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.240 We were talking last hour about, you know, maybe using 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:24.880 Jimmy Garoppolo against the Houston Texans as a DFS quarterback 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:28.080 this week. I think Ben can do a little bit 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.200 of work. And he's got Cleveland, Houston home against Baltimore 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.440 and then the New England Patriots. This ten and two 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.160 team can very easily be thirteen and three with a 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.960 buy and teams coming to Pittsburgh where we all know. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:43.800 And that week fifteen matchup against the New England Patriots, 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.839 oh boy, that could be for home field advantage in 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.840 the a f C and it's in Pittsburgh. Just remember 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.760 at the beginning of the season I had Pittsburgh in 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.160 the Super Bowl. We shall see. And the last thing 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.800 I'll say about this is, Um, the week started with 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.240 me picking against the home dog and getting it wrong. 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.040 I said, the week might end with me picking against 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.000 the home dog and getting it wrong with Pittsburgh. Steelers 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:08.280 did win that game, but it was a five and 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.800 a half point spread. I said, I like Pittsburgh to 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.160 win that game. I said twenty. It was twenty three twenty. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.599 That was right in the line. So what we're gonna do. 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.000 You're gonna hold me accountable. Guys next week when I'm 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.760 talking about my home dogs on my UM Friday show, 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.840 remind me that I really want to go with these 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.520 home dogs. It is a trend that does, in fact continue. 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.000 Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna open up the 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.400 phone lines right now. We're gonna open up the phone 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.520 lines if you have questions at eight four four, eight 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.000 four three six eight seven nine. We're gonna get you 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.080 ready and willing and able to continue to win in 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.560 the playoffs. So we're gonna do though. Also, I'm gonna 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.319 give you my waiver wire ads. We're gonna talk a quarterback, 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.160 running back, wide receiver, tight end. There are people being 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.760 added frequently in a lot of leagues. I gotta let 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.680 you know my take on them before waiver wires run 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:57.920 a little bit later on, and then we will get 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:00.559 to your calls. And then later on in this show, Chris, 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.120 you're also ready to decide a game of inches winner. 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.080 There are some people that lost their playoffs spot because 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.840 all the inches. There are some people that got into 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.000 the playoffs because of inches, and we are going to 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.360 break them all down before we get it started. Though, 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:17.719 let me tell you real quick before we go to 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.160 break um. There's some quarterbacks out there. Josh McCown is 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:25.560 only owned. Okay, this guy has Denver, then New Orleans, 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.280 then the Chargers. Okay, not the best matchups, but Josh 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:33.720 McCown is quarterback seven right now. Case Keenum only six owned. 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.640 He needs to play well for them to hold onto 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.520 a one seed in the NFC. Aaron Rodgers, Okay, a 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.400 lot of people we were talking about this last week. 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.440 But if he comes back into weeks fifteen and sixteen, 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:48.960 he's got Carolina tough defense. Then he's got Minnesota tough defense. 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.320 I don't know if I go on the Aaron Rodgers train. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.480 I do, However, like Jimmy Garoppolo this week. Some people 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.840 are asking me questions about quarterbacks. I love Josh McCown 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.280 in weeks fifteen and sixteen. This week, though, I like 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.080 Jimmy Garoppolo. He is six on. You can get him 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.920 this week for a matchup against the Houston Texans, and 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:09.760 if you're in the playoffs, it's all about this week. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.000 I like Jimmy Garoppolo this week as a waiver wire 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.280 quarterback ad I'll tell you who I like it some 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.600 other positions, and we'll start to answer your calls when 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.160 we come back. It's the Fantasy Freestyle on the award 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:26.800 winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

If you're listening to live on iHeart Radio, 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.840 Tune In Radio, the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app, or 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.160 if you're watching live on YouTube. I'm happy to have 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.040 you as part of the stats over beat Cipher. Which 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.880 man speeds the spitting statistician. I told you before we 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.600 went to break that some of the quarterbacks I like. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:33.040 I like Josh McCown. He is quarterback seven number now 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.640 right now? Can you believe that he is ahead of 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:41.360 like Drew Brees right now? Josh McCown is ahead of 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:45.440 Drew Brees right now. Okay, I understand they have Denver 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.560 this week, but after that in New Orleans and the Chargers, listen, 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.560 I think if you need a quarterback, Josh McCown is 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.560 definitely viable. Let me tell you a little bit about 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.520 these running backs though. Here are some of the most 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.320 heavily added running backs. I'm gonna give you uh five 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.280 or six of them and my thoughts on them. The 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.000 first one is because of what happened on Monday Night football, 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.000 I think you need to consider Giovanni Bernard. Giovanni Bernard 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.680 is only percent owned. Joe Mixing is in a race 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.480 against the clock to be cleared of the concussion protocol. 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.400 Usually they missed the next week. And remember he's got 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.880 a short week because of Monday Night football. Jeremy Hill 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.440 already on I R. I think this means this backfield 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.600 is gonna be all Giovanni Bernard. Giovanni Bernard a pretty 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.520 interesting cheap DF that's play. He's only earned in thirteen 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.560 percent of leagues. I say, go out and get Giovanni Bernard. 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:33.159 He is my number one ad out of like the 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:37.200 you know, low owned guys left so far at the 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.399 running back position. I also like Mike Davis. I like 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.800 Mike Davis. I said it last week. I said last 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.520 week I thought Mike Davis was the best option for 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.879 the Seattle Seahawks. But here's the thing. They're playing Jacksonville 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.120 this week, and Jacksonville has started to styiny even running back, 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.240 so it may not be the best idea this week. 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.240 But I do think Mike Davis is the best option 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:01.120 in Seattle, and he is only eight percent owned. I 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.960 still think he might be worth a flex play next week, 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.560 even against the Jacksonville Jacks. You can go out and 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.720 get Mike Davis. The next guy is Peyton Barber. Here's 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.600 the idea on Peyton Barber. Though I told you on 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.399 Sunday's Lineup Block Live that everything I said about a 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.320 pop quiz Jaquis Rodgers, you could insert Peyton Barber. When 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.119 I broke the news of him being the starting running 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.760 back on Sunday Fantasy Lineup Block Live. But here's the thing. 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.800 I don't like him anymore. It gets crowded, right, Doug 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.000 Martin might be back. If Doug Martin is back and 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.600 it's him and Jocquas Rodgers and Charles Simms and Peyton Barber, 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:36.280 then I don't like it. But if there's still no 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.359 Doug Martin, I think they might give Peyton Barber a chance. 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:41.800 He had twenty three carries, he had four targets. That's 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.800 the workload you kind of like. That might continue, but 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.720 only if Doug Martin is still out. Remember he has 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:50.760 been concussed, but he's been out for a week or 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.040 two already. He might come back, and that would temper 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.520 my expectations on that. A couple of other guys that 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.080 are pretty still heavily owned right now, they're at sixty 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.240 sixty five percent owned. But if it is worth the 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.359 check to see if you can grab Kenyan Drake. He 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.200 killed it against that Denver defense. He went twenty three carries, 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.040 a hundred twenty yards and a touchdown. He is available 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.359 in thirty of leagues. As he's available in your league, 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.400 go out and get Kenyan Drake as the last man 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:18.040 standing for Miami. It looks like Damian Williams will continue 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:21.200 to miss action even though they's got an extra dat 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:24.040 away because they got Monday night football against the New 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:27.320 England Patriots. Rex Burkhead is only owned in sixty percent 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.800 of leagues a third of leagues. You can go out 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:32.760 right now and get Rex Burkhead. Rex Burkhead had a 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:36.360 hundred three scrimmage yards and two touchdowns last week. I 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:39.560 think Rex Burkhead they've sort of streamlined their committee in 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.879 New England and it is uh, you know Dion Lewis 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:46.560 in early downs and it's Rex Burkhead out of the past. 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:50.000 And also listen, if there's no Rob Gronkowski, it's gonna 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.760 be even more Rex Burkhead. I go find out if 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.440 Rex Burkhead is available in your league, and if he is, 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:58.000 and especially if it's a PPR league, go out and 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.679 get Rex Burkhead. I like him as an be too 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:04.520 easily this week with no Rob Gronkowski. Also, Theo Riddick 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.399 is only owned in of leagues, and if there's no 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:11.359 Amir Abdullah, I think he's viable at wide receiver. The 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:14.959 guy I like My number one ad is Marky's Goodwin. 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:17.399 He's only owned in thirty two percent of leagues. It 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.000 look remember I told you I got it wrong last week. 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:21.520 I thought he was only a deep guy, that he 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.679 wouldn't have chemistry with Jimmy Garoppolo. He put it in 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.600 my eye, Jimmy Garoppolo. He went eight for ninety nine 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:29.960 with Jimmy g last week. But there was some intermediate routes, 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.280 some short routes. I think he is definitely viable. Remember 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.040 we talked about um, they're facing the Houston Texans. I 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.919 like attacking that matchup. If you don't have Marky's Goodwin available, 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:44.720 what about Listen, Jermaine cursest owned over half of leagues. 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:46.720 You can get Jermaine Curse. This is a guy who 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:48.960 has had ten plus targets in his last two weeks 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:51.480 in a row. And I just told you Josh McCown 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:55.120 his quarterback seven. I understand they're playing the Denver Broncos 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.359 and that's never really a past defense you want to attack, 0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:59.640 but Jermaine Curse has been doing it the last couple 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.479 of weeks. There's D D. Westbrook out there. I'm starting 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.360
