1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, everybody, It's Thursday, November seventh, twenty twenty four.

2
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, where apparently we

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: all have the same shirt. Be your rand MG Marcus Grant,

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: joined by Michael Florio and Lakwan Jones. I don't even

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: know where to go with that. I was gonna like,

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: this is like an audio show, Like I can't be like, hey, look,

7
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: we're all we like, we're not even wearing the same

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: shirt today.

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: I thought we did though, I thought I had that shirt.

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: Okay, for those of you who can't see, which is

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: pretty much all of you, I am wearing a colored

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: polo shirt with like stripes of black and white and brown.

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: If you watch Thursday's episode of NFL Fantasy like, you

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: know exactly sure I'm talking about. This is way too

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: much conversation about a shirt we got to play to

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: talk about on the show today. We all have our

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: big calls for Week ten, but let's get started with

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: some fantasy headlines. And this one seems to kind of

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: pop up out of nowhere. Trevor Lawrence dealing with the

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 1: shoulder injury, unlikely to play this week against the Minnesota Vikings,

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: and there is some rumblings that he could be out

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: for an extended period of time, maybe even the rest

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: of the season. In the short term, though, the attention

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: turns to Mac Jones as the starting quarterback for Jacksonville.

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 1: What does this mean for the rest of the Jacksonville

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: pass catchers? If it is Mac Jones this week and

27
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: going forward.

28
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 3: It's definitely not great, clearly like it would be a

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: downgrade at the quarterback position. But like for this week

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 3: in particular, the Vikings have allowed the most fantasy points

31
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: for game to wide receivers. They play a lot of

32
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,639
Speaker 3: zone coverage. Brian Thomas Junior has the third most yards

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: against zone coverage. That I would still start Brian Thomas Junior,

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: And because of the tight end position and the state

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: of it, you probably can get away with still starting

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: Evan Ingram. Like I have one team where I have

37
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: Ingram and Kada and that's an easy decision. But most

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: fantasy managers, I don't think, have that that option in

39
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: that position. So if you need to continue to start,

40
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: at least take a I'm going to start Evan Ingram

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: this week and see what he gives me type of approach,

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 3: I think that is fine. All of the secondary options

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: are are gone for me though I want no part

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: of them. And I think this even hurts the running

45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: backs as well, because teams are probably like, you're the

46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: Vikings this weekend. You're probably like, let's see Mac Jones

47
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: beat us, let's keen in on this running game. But

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: I think that the two ones that I say, stay

49
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: and play, and I will say, I think we do

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: have a Mac Jones fan on this podcast.

51
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Wait you are? I forgot you're a Mac Jones guy.

52
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: I forgot about that.

53
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say I'm a Mac Jones guy, but I

54
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: would say I'm a Trevor Lawrence hater. Like I just don't.

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: I just don't see it. I just don't have the

56
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: lens that everybody has with Trevor Lawrence. I can literally

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: go on a rant right now of how bad this

58
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: guy is and he's not living up the standards. But

59
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: my opinions don't matter much when it comes to that.

60
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: But Mac Jones, I think overall he's served like he

61
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: was great his rookie year. I mean, we had fantasy

62
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: relevance with Da Mario Douglas, we had fantasy relevance with

63
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: the run game. I mean, I think mac Jones picks

64
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: up you know whatever Trevor Lawrence put down. I mean,

65
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: it's not that far of a lift, but it's just

66
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: it is what it is. At this point, I.

67
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Don't think I realized you had such strong feelings against

68
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. This is today.

69
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: I'm one of those guys that believed in him that

70
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: one year after the year at the Urban Meyer and

71
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: was all in on fantasy. And then he burns you,

72
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: and then it's like, you know what you're I'm.

73
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: The hatefo X.

74
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: You'll you'll never ever ever have my support again.

75
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. He is definitely he has

76
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: not been the guy that we thought he would be

77
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: coming out of Clemson. I don't know that I have

78
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: strong feelings one way or another about Trevor Lawrence at

79
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: this point. He's sort of just a guy. I think

80
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: it's nothing against him.

81
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: It's more so the people that defend him is my

82
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: real problem.

83
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Like come on, Also, there's a huge gap between being

84
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: a mac Jones guy and a Trevor Lawrence hater, Like

85
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: that's a that's a that's an I just remember the.

86
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: Videos, like Lakwan posted a video this this season being

87
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: like go trade for mac Jones.

88
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: I did.

89
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

90
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: I think I had to back up that he is

91
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: a back Jil fan.

92
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, and we have the same last name.

93
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: What are we doing here?

94
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: Come on?

95
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: I got We're the ones.

96
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: Lakwan and McCorkle Jones, just together forever. It's that's great.

97
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Let's get to some of the week ten calls, if

98
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: you know mine. We will start, as always with Club Dub,

99
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: the nine quarterback we think is gonna be the top

100
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: score for the week. Quen, You've been spicy the last

101
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: couple of weeks with your Club Dub because I think

102
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: last week you had a defense if I'm not mistaken,

103
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: and this week you have a defense. What what?

104
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: What?

105
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: What's happening here?

106
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 2: I had the wrong defense, I said, commanders, but it

107
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: ended up being my rams, which you know, slapping the

108
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: face to me. But I'm going with the Lions this week. Yeah,

109
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: you're right, it was a big w for us. But

110
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: all I'm gonna say is, at least with the Lions,

111
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: they have a takeaway in every single game this season,

112
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 2: So therefore you're going to be able to stack on

113
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: the standard points you start off with. And I don't

114
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: think this is going to be you know, a game

115
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 2: where they let up a bunch of points. This is

116
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: going to be a game where they can attack that

117
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: that old line and get some sack production and possibly

118
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: create some takeaways. They just traded for another pass rusher,

119
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: so therefore they're going to be filling that void that

120
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: they had so far with that sack production. So I'm

121
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: looking for them to light it up this week, all.

122
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: Right, So we're going with the Lions defense. You know,

123
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: the rank makes the point on Fantasy Live that you know,

124
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: we talk about them being an indoor team, but they

125
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: went to Green Bay last week in the elements and

126
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: shut down the Packers. So at this point they're just

127
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: a good team. Like that's all there is to it.

128
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: With the Detroit Lions.

129
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: It's just their quarterback. Yeah, and Texans' own line is trash.

130
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of a Lion. You're staying in the NFC

131
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: North for your club, dub pick Floria.

132
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: This was the easiest decision of the week for me

133
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: because I think Justin Jefferson is going to go absolutely

134
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: crazy this week. I liked it even more when Trevor

135
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: Lawrence was playing and I thought the Jags might put

136
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: up some mood of a fight on the other side,

137
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: but it doesn't matter. The Jaguars have allowed the most

138
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 3: production through the air this year, most fantasy points to quarterbacks,

139
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: fourth most too wide receivers. I think Justin Jefferson is

140
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 3: just going to do whatever he wants, have a field day,

141
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 3: gonna show off the shiniest chains you'll ever see in

142
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 3: your life, probably go for a buck fifty and a touchdown,

143
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: something like that. I just expect a huge day out

144
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: of him in this matchup. So he's always safe, he's

145
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: always a must start, but this week in particular, I think,

146
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna get a big day.

147
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: All right, that sounds good to me. My one of

148
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: my bold predictions for the week was that there're gonna

149
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: be three LSU receivers in the top five. I think

150
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase after Thursday night, I think Justin Jefferson. I

151
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: was gonna say Brian Thomas Junior, but that was for

152
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: the switching quarterbacks. So maybe now I'll just pivot to

153
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: Mike Maligue neighbors or something like that.

154
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 3: But I think my bold prediction was kind of similar

155
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: to yours. I was like, Thomas is gonna go off,

156
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: but he's gonna have the second best game in that wood.

157
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Now now with a new quarterback, I don't

158
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: know that I could really reach that far forward, although

159
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: my club dub is maybe a little bit of a reach.

160
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just wish casting and vibe, but I'm saying

161
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey right, because they've waited all this time to

162
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: get him back into the offense. They were waiting until

163
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: they felt like he was perfectly healthy. And we know

164
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan likes just to see McCaffrey go off. I mean,

165
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: when he had the touchdown Street going, Kyle Shanahan went

166
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: out of his way to try and keep it going,

167
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: like just forcing the issue. So this seems like, you know,

168
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: hey man, you know, I know Christmas is coming around again.

169
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: This is like Ralphie getting the Red Rider gun, like

170
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: we gotta make this thing happen, right, Like, I just

171
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: feel like they're going to force feed Christian McCaffrey and

172
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,559
Speaker 1: give him loss with to opportunities catching the football against

173
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: a bad Bucks secondary, Like most likely it's probably not

174
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna have it. But I just had this. I just

175
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: have this weird vision in my head of Kyle Shanahan

176
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: just going out of his way to do things for

177
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: stem C.

178
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: Uh well, yeah, Ralphie and also almost shot his eye out.

179
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: Who's the saying Kyle Shanahan didn't metaphorically almost shoot his

180
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: eye out this week too by like trying to force me,

181
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, like I said of like, hey man, this

182
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: pretty kittle thing is working. Let's just force feed Christian

183
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: mccatt like you know, they're parallels here. Man.

184
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: Do you think he's nervous that CMC is fregilely?

185
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: You might be right? Must be Italian? Be Italian ta

186
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: red flag the player to beware of. And uh, look

187
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: what do we have to We have to downgrade him

188
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: to Mitsubishi Marv. I saw that floating around Twitter this week.

189
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I think we might have to have that

190
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: conversation about that. But huge red flag on him, man.

191
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: And look this Jets defense man. As much as the

192
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: crazy Jerry Shore storyline they got going on, that defense

193
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: still remains intact, very difficult, you know against wide receivers

194
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: top five few is fantasy points for a game two

195
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: wide receivers and looking at Marvin Harrison's track record can't

196
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 2: be trusted. Man, DDE has the really really highs or

197
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 2: they really really loads it's like boom or bust with him,

198
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: and I don't think I could test him this week,

199
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 2: So I will have my expectations in order and look

200
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: to other wide receivers that have higher ceilings because we

201
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 2: came to a bank on vy him. Dude have five

202
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: targets last week. That's not something that it's like a

203
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: lock going into every single week with Marvin Harrison and

204
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: the targets that he is getting forced fed. He's not

205
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: catching him, man, He's catching less than fifty percent of

206
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: his targets in the last five games. And look, we're

207
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: in the back end of the fantasy season. We need

208
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: some trusted players in our lineups.

209
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been rough. Low key Kyler Murray has been

210
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: one of the bigger disappointments in the fantasy season, but

211
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: Marvis and Harrison Junior is up there as well, and

212
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: it feels like he's sort of floated under the radar

213
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: in terms of being disappointing because we've kind of focused

214
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: our frustrations on a lot of other people there. Yeah,

215
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: Oyer last week, Patrick Mahomes was good, right, he gave

216
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: me like twenty four points. Most of the season he's

217
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: been Patrick Meh Holmes and it looks like you were

218
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: expecting him to go back to that this week.

219
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, I understand, he's coming off his two best

220
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: fantasy games of the season. There's a reason to feel

221
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: good about him and excited and all of that. But like,

222
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: let's not forget that he had the best matchup a

223
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: quarterback could have last week, and that really is what

224
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 3: I think led to him having such a big Fantasy day.

225
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: I am hopeful that Mahomes the rest of the way

226
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: maybe can kind of be what we were hoping to be,

227
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: build off of these last two games and becoming every

228
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: week starter again. But until he proves to us that

229
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 3: he is not matchup dependent, I think it's okay to

230
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: get away from him in tough matchups, which is what

231
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: this is. The Denver Broncos. They have allowed the six

232
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 3: fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. That is, after getting absolutely

233
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 3: torched by Lamar Jackson and the Ravens last week. The

234
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: most offenses can't do what Lamar and the Ravens do.

235
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 3: I like, I'm hopeful that de hop and everything helps

236
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 3: elevate this Chiefs offense, but considering the matchup, but considering

237
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 3: that he struggled against them last year, one passing touchdown,

238
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 3: three interceptions in two games against them. I would try

239
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: to play it safe and get away if you have

240
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 3: another option.

241
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four season continues to be a study in

242
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: production in real football versus fantasy football, because Mahomes, by

243
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: all the metrics, is still performing at a high level

244
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: for the actual Chiefs, just not for your fantasy team.

245
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: So I think it's just something to sort of keep

246
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: in mind. My beware this week is a guy who

247
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: I think can still give you a decent number, and

248
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: that's Joe Mixon. Just because of the way he's being

249
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: used in the Houston offense. I think that is enough

250
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: to sort of mean to sort of keep him in

251
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: your lineup. But the matchup is not a good one

252
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: against the Detroit Lions coming up this week. It just

253
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: they have been so good against running backs all season long,

254
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: and you know, I think what wins the day for

255
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: mixing is just the potential for volume that he's going

256
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: to get a lot of carries. There's really nobody else

257
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: to threaten back there. He will get some targets as well,

258
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: but I do think you sort of lower your expectations.

259
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been good for pretty much one hundred

260
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: rushing yards in every game. I don't know that he

261
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: gets there this week. Hopefully the targets and the catches

262
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: sort of save the day a little bit, and if

263
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: you can find the end zone, then that gives you

264
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: a decent number. But I don't think this is going

265
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: to be the same level of Joe Mixon games that

266
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: we have seen all year long, so you probably got

267
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: to start him. I can't imagine you can get away

268
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: from Joe Mixon, but just sort of timper your expectations

269
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: against the Lions. This week. It's time to drive your line.

270
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm presented by the all new hybrid Toyota Camry. Finish

271
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: things up with the Snorelas our favorite Week ten sleeper.

272
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: Who are we sleeping on?

273
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: Lakwan Uh Darnah Mooney? He seems to be a guy

274
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: that he falls in that tier where you have to

275
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: fight to get him in your line. I was just

276
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: based on he was a dep guy to begin with,

277
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: Like we didn't really have this season on the table

278
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: for him. Like it wasn't on my Bengo card that

279
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 2: Darna Mooney would be a y receiver that averages fifteen

280
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: Fantasy points for a game or He's top ten in

281
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: targets like this dude has been phenomenal. With Drake London

282
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: banged up, when Kyle Pitch banged up with a hamstring,

283
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 2: they were both limited this week. I think Darnall Mooney

284
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 2: can explode on this Saints defense, who are also banged

285
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: up with that secondary, And like these are division games,

286
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: this is where games they get weird to get funky,

287
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 2: and I think Darnell Mooney is like one of those

288
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: guys you kind of have to shift into your flex

289
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: or your wide receiver two position this week.

290
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Darnell Mooney has just been straight up good

291
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: like all year long. Literally did anybody saw that coming?

292
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean we were all like Grandma cookies because we

293
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: were all seriously like Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and like

294
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: seriously like Darnell Mooney was the meme of like Jason

295
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: Momoa trying to sneak up on Henry Cavill, like that

296
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: was that was Darnell Mooney this year. We just did

297
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: not see that one coming. I'm so are we all

298
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: going nuts? Because we're all sort of like gravitating down

299
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: to Carolina for things now, Like this feels like it's

300
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: going to blow up in our faces, but it seems

301
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: kind of fun the moment.

302
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: I have hope that it is not going to blow

303
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: up in our faces because the last two games and

304
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: my snorlax Is exavierly get the wide receiver from the

305
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: Carolina Panthers. But in the last two games, Bryce Young

306
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 3: has played better and has taken, in my opinion, a

307
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: little bit of a step forward, especially if you watched

308
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 3: last week and didn't. Just like box score scout, he

309
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: had a long pass down the sidelines that should have

310
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: been caught that was dropped. He also had another one

311
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: that went through like Leget caught it, but the defender

312
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 3: then just ripped it away from him and it went

313
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: down as an interception despite being an absolute dime from

314
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: Bryce Young. But the reason I'm excited about Lee get

315
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: thirteen Fantasy points in two straight games, a touchdown and

316
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: two straight each of those With Bryce Young, he runs

317
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 3: about seventy percent of his routes out wide, and now

318
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 3: he gets the Giants, who if you just looked at

319
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: the yards, they don't allow it. They haven't allowed a

320
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 3: ton so far, but they've allowed the highest passer rating

321
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: in the NFL to out wide wide receivers. Terry mclaurins

322
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 3: cooked them last week, So yeah, if you're going a

323
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: little bit deeper for a sleeper at wide receiver this week,

324
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 3: four teams on by Lee Get is a name that

325
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: I like.

326
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: If you want he had really not see can go

327
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: jayl But I do think there are better days coming

328
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: for Carolina pass catchers for sure. I'm gonna go with

329
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: de Andre Swift, who the surprise of a lot of people,

330
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: and by a lot of people, I mean me. I

331
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: think he's at a top ten amongst fantasy running backs

332
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: this year, which I did not think was going to

333
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: be a thing. We're not talking about Rashaun Johnson. We

334
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: haven't talked about Rashawn Johnson in weeks because Swift has

335
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: taken over pretty much everything in that backfield. And I

336
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: know the Bears offense the last two weeks has not

337
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: been great. Caleb Williams is scuffling. We talked about that,

338
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: I think earlier in the week. This feels like a

339
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: chance for Shane Waldron to hashtag establish it right. You're

340
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: going against a Patriots run defense, which is in the

341
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: bottom part of the league in terms of stopping the run.

342
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: They just have not done a great job at all.

343
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: Why not start with the run. Why not get DeAndre

344
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: Swift going and use that to open things up for

345
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: your quarterback and then move from there. This is not

346
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: going to be a high scoring game between these two teams.

347
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't think game script is going to be an

348
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: issue if somehow it is. We know Swift can still

349
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: catch the ball out of backfield, so he can still

350
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: be out there regardless of the situation. But this feels

351
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: like a game where we see Swift early and often,

352
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: just try to get something forward moving for the Bears

353
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: and then hopefully Kayleb Williams can turn it around and

354
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: pick it up right after that. That was Drive Your Lineup,
