Speaker 1: here they very well maybe Frank let me in first
Speaker 1: place after this week. I hope you're right, because I
Speaker 1: got I got the ticket you got to take. You're right,
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. Eric Young, how are you, my friend?
Speaker 1: I'm doing well, boys, I'm doing well. A great night
Speaker 1: here in Nashville. Was out at a pred's charity event,
Speaker 1: even though Greg Sussman didn't believe me when I told him.
Speaker 1: Um watched a little bit of the highlights today. Interesting
Speaker 1: game Dallas is uh in full uh implosion mode. Pretty wild.
Speaker 1: It's funny because Frank, as promised, I texted you. I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, like what happened in the n x
Speaker 1: T League And He's like at a charity event. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I'll tell you. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. I'm like, these crazy mofos fought at a
Speaker 1: charity event like they're gonna get fired. And then when
Speaker 1: I texted you are today tell me the story? I
Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute, he's at a charity event,
Speaker 1: because why he won't He's not able to like text
Speaker 1: right now, and he's like, you're an idiot. He didn't
Speaker 1: say that. That's when he I kind of wish that
Speaker 1: he did say that because that would be hilarious. But yeah,
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, things are lost in translation when it
Speaker 1: comes to texting. Very hard to read sarcasm, very hard
Speaker 1: to just pick up on, just random things when it
Speaker 1: comes to texting. So, bad job by you, Greg, not
Speaker 1: a great job by me. Sorry, but not a great
Speaker 1: job by me. But now I'm gonna turn it to
Speaker 1: you and hopefully get a great job by you. Because
Speaker 1: we have talked about it all week long in this show,
Speaker 1: Frank has answered this question four different ways one, two, three,
Speaker 1: four probably not true, close to it, four different ways.
Speaker 1: So now I turned my attention to you all and
Speaker 1: e y as well, and who answered it as well?
Speaker 1: I got one flex spot left, guys, and I need help.
Speaker 1: Who to start? Do I start my man ball leave?
Speaker 1: Where do I go with Alexander Madison? I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: do out to say why in a moment, Patrick Laird
Speaker 1: or Emmanuel Sanders. I am all four of those guys
Speaker 1: as somebody I can flex. I don't know which one
Speaker 1: to start. We have the poll up on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: BFF Twitter right now, and the leading vote getter Greg's
Speaker 1: actually a tie seen Emmanuel Sanders and Alexander Madison So
Speaker 1: as I said, I'm not going to start Alexander Madison
Speaker 1: because as we found out, they there wind is blowing
Speaker 1: or something out there. We're not gonna start Alexander Madison
Speaker 1: because Dalvin Cook was left off the injury report for
Speaker 1: this weekend, which means he is not expected to be limited.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be full bore. He's gonna go and do
Speaker 1: his thing. And even though I want all of the
Speaker 1: carries in that Minnesota backfield, no doubt, if Dalvit Cook
Speaker 1: is not even be limited, he's not questionable, not probably,
Speaker 1: not doubt, no, none of that. He's that's just off
Speaker 1: the injury report. He's gonna play. There's normal workload and
Speaker 1: lead by human mictory. I hope, Greg. We now have
Speaker 1: a new leader in the poll. And you have to
Speaker 1: listen to the poll because if you are a man
Speaker 1: of the people, we are the show of the people.
Speaker 1: We are all of that. That is true. So you
Speaker 1: have to do what the poll says. Thirty three percent
Speaker 1: say you have to start Alexander medicine. Sorry, buddy, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna do that. Come on, I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 1: We'll see says that. We'll see on today's show. There
Speaker 1: were a lot of the games yesterday, which was great.
Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time breaking down the games. Today,
Speaker 1: we'll do all the games that we missed. It would
Speaker 1: be great. Um, you can go all that kind of
Speaker 1: like the leftovers, right because we haven't done in half
Speaker 1: the games like leftovers. Get it? Sure, you go ahead
Speaker 1: and play and play the sound white if you want
Speaker 1: to prepare, daddy, that's fair. I can't do that. Well,
Speaker 1: we've got we got time throughout the break. Didn't get
Speaker 1: your fill from the waiver wire. The BFFs has your leftovers?
Speaker 1: Watch this, never mind, give me a whole lot of it.
Speaker 1: We had a whole slate, all the leftovers, a whole
Speaker 1: plate boom leftovers to get to. So let's begin with
Speaker 1: arguably the game of the weekend, the New England Patriots
Speaker 1: hosting the Kansas City Chiefs. Everymatch of the a f
Speaker 1: C Championship game from a year ago. That one was
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, this one is in New England. E y,
Speaker 1: My question to you, which running me you can only
Speaker 1: start one from each team? Which running back do you
Speaker 1: want to start from the Chiefs? And which running back
Speaker 1: do you want to start from? The camp from the
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. Judging by last week, and it's gonna
Speaker 1: be James White. Um, but I'm staying strong on this,
Speaker 1: just like I've been all year. The Patriots running back
Speaker 1: it's a mess. Every year. Everyone wanted to tell me
Speaker 1: in the offseason that Sony Michelle was the unequivocal number
Speaker 1: one running back, was going to carry the ball, was
Speaker 1: going to score a pilot touchdowns. Well that hasn't happened
Speaker 1: because that's not what the Patriots do. Um. James White
Speaker 1: had a hell of a game. Seemed like there were
Speaker 1: times when he was the only guy on the field,
Speaker 1: the only guy that Brady could see. Last week. Um,
Speaker 1: so that that would be my my vote. Uh. But
Speaker 1: I mean it's a dart pro just like it's always been.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go with McCoy. I think he's going
Speaker 1: to be the starter. But I do have a sneaky
Speaker 1: suspicion about Darwin Thompson. Frank, the same question to you,
Speaker 1: my friend. Actually have Darwin Thompson rank the highest of
Speaker 1: the Chiefs running backs so far? Damian Williams did not
Speaker 1: practice again yesterday. I haven't seen the Chiefs practice for
Speaker 1: yet for the for today, but I would be very
Speaker 1: surprised if Damian Williams is good to go in Week
Speaker 1: four teen. Darryl Williams has already been ruled out, so
Speaker 1: I will take Darwin Thompson as well as Shawn McCoy.
Speaker 1: Has been inactive over the past month or so. He
Speaker 1: has seen a limited workload and perhaps they've been saving
Speaker 1: him for a game like this, But personally, I feel
Speaker 1: like Darwin Thompson is in play for double digit touches
Speaker 1: here in this game against the New England Patriots. And
Speaker 1: then on the other side, I think James White is
Speaker 1: what he has been all season long. Greg he is
Speaker 1: a flex. He had a bunch of work last week.
Speaker 1: They were trailing for a lot of last week. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that that's going to be the case. I
Speaker 1: have Sony Michelle rank the highest of the Patriots running backs.
Speaker 1: This week. You can run on the Kansas City Chiefs,
Speaker 1: and I think that they will try to do just that.
Speaker 1: Remember the playoffs Crade that was That was a game
Speaker 1: where Sony Michelle scoreda I believe it was three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: That Chiefs a lot of Sony Michelle, a lot of
Speaker 1: going all more into this game on the other side

Speaker 1: the fanatic. This is Sports Grade. Get all the grid. Well, well, well,
Speaker 1: welcome back to the Fantasy best Friends Forever live on
Speaker 1: the Sports Great TV Network. Greg Sussman scooting his way
Speaker 1: back to his side of the table. You stay over there, Greig, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's go. We're talking about the Chiefs and
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Before we hit the break, we did the running, Max, Frankie,
Speaker 1: do anything else you want to mention, specifically when it
Speaker 1: comes to the wide receivers. I know you're all mohamedsan
Speaker 1: New for a while, he hasn't really done anything. The
Speaker 1: same with Philip Dorsett, my man Ben Watson's being useless.
Speaker 1: It's been all Julian Adam and the only guy that
Speaker 1: you can trust in that New England offense. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would say the only three players that I really want
Speaker 1: to trust in this spot is Julian Edelman, Sony Michelle
Speaker 1: as a loan RB two, and James White as a
Speaker 1: flex option. Uh. Tom Brady, if you're playing super flex leagues,
Speaker 1: I think he's a He's an okay QB two. I
Speaker 1: want to like the Chiefs in the spot, Greg, but
Speaker 1: this just seems like a normal, like the best get
Speaker 1: right spot possible for the Newlight Patriots where they've lost
Speaker 1: two games in a row, tough games against the Ravens
Speaker 1: and the Houston Texans. They come back home, it's the
Speaker 1: Patriots at home in December. Belichick is he's gonna figure
Speaker 1: something out for this game. So I want to like
Speaker 1: the Chiefs from a betting perspective, I can't do that.
Speaker 1: And when it comes to Patrick Mahomes and the Chief's offense,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes hasn't necessarily been great. You have throwing just
Speaker 1: one touchdown in back to back games. One of those
Speaker 1: games was in Mexico, then the other one was a
Speaker 1: blowout against the Oakland Raiders. So he didn't really need
Speaker 1: to throw the ball all that much, but he has
Speaker 1: thrown only one touchdown or less in four of the
Speaker 1: last six games. With that being said, you shouldn't have
Speaker 1: bench Deshaun Watson last week. You're not gonna bench Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes this week? This week? Uh no, OK, maybe I
Speaker 1: should rank a little bit closer though. Just want to
Speaker 1: know and don't overthink things too. Like there's someone in
Speaker 1: the chat, for example, asking us if they should be
Speaker 1: benching Tyreek Hill for Zach Pascal. Like, yeah, I like
Speaker 1: Zack Pascal, but Tyreek Hill. We saw it last year
Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots. I mean he can win
Speaker 1: you a week on one play. I mean the guy
Speaker 1: can have a seventy five yard touchdown at any given time.
Speaker 1: So yes, it's a tough matchup, but that type of
Speaker 1: upside from Tyreek Hill, I personally can't get away from it.
Speaker 1: Alrighty the Tyree Tyreek Hill, Haroin, Patrick Mahomes, Parrot, Travis Kelsey,
Speaker 1: all guys that we can start here. Uh this week?
Speaker 1: When comes to running Max, well, it's a little bit
Speaker 1: more if he's certainly on the Chiefs side and the
Speaker 1: Patriots side. As we started breaking down this game. Let
Speaker 1: me move on, Frank. We mentioned the Chief's obviously in
Speaker 1: the a f C West, the Denver Broncos also in
Speaker 1: the a f C West. Denver matches up uh this
Speaker 1: week against the afore mentioned Houston Texans and last week
Speaker 1: e Y Cortland Sutton. Didn't matter who is on it
Speaker 1: didn't matter who's throwing the ball. He is pretty to
Speaker 1: be a wide receiver one all season long. Is the
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one this week for you? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: mean he's been a wide wide receiver one pretty much
Speaker 1: all year, even with poor quarterback play. Um. That was
Speaker 1: the call of mine in the off season. I said,
Speaker 1: Sutton is going to be the number one. They're drafted
Speaker 1: as many number ones as you can, and him and
Speaker 1: Lucke looked like they had a good connection right away.
Speaker 1: Sutton is going to be a number one wide receiver
Speaker 1: for many years. I believe in the NFL I have
Speaker 1: Sutton as a high end wide receiver to this week, Greg,
Speaker 1: but it's just semantics at that point. I think if
Speaker 1: you own Courtland Sutton, you're using him. Obviously the Texans,
Speaker 1: this was a team that we were actually targeting past
Speaker 1: catchers against him. They've been much better against wide receivers
Speaker 1: over the past month, allowing the third fewest Fantasy points
Speaker 1: to wide receivers during that span. It's not enough to
Speaker 1: scare me off of Courtland Sutton. He had a great
Speaker 1: game last week. He had the two touchdowns. I want
Speaker 1: to see more than five targets personally, but he's one
Speaker 1: of these guys where, uh, it doesn't matter what the
Speaker 1: matchup is. I mean, Courtland Sutton is that good. He
Speaker 1: did it against Casey Hayward last week. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: he can do it against anybody. Frankly, here, Greg Royce
Speaker 1: Freeman banged up for the Denver Broncos, but looks like
Speaker 1: he is still going to play. And over the past
Speaker 1: three weeks, Philip Lindsay fifty percent of the Snapps Royce
Speaker 1: Freeman of the Snaps. Lindsay is getting a lot more work,
Speaker 1: a lot more carries, and um, the Houston Texans are
Speaker 1: allowing four point five yards carried to running backs this
Speaker 1: year and the most receptions. So I think Philip Lindsay,
Speaker 1: while you know he hasn't been great recently, he's still
Speaker 1: seeing a solid workload and I think you should continue
Speaker 1: to trust him as an RB two. Greg have you
Speaker 1: noticed that there was a Jeff can you take me?
Speaker 1: Hi man? Yeah, it was awesome. It's crazy. It was pumped.
Speaker 1: I was pumped. It was great. It was Drew Lock
Speaker 1: honestly been practicing with Jeff Hireman for a while and
Speaker 1: then you got the ball. He saw that last night
Speaker 1: with Chicago. By the way, um, I foret the guy's name.
Speaker 1: Now he got all these passes there stream tight end
Speaker 1: o j p Holtz that guy, Yeah, yeah he did.
Speaker 1: He didn't do that at the factual statement, Gregg, he
Speaker 1: caught passes last night. By the way, speaking of as
Speaker 1: you started last night, I don't want to get you
Speaker 1: much into this because I have a lot to do.
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller, oh man, anybody that you started in that
Speaker 1: game last night, for the most part paid off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I would have wanted more than David Montgomery.
Speaker 1: You can't get greedy. But you know, losing the fumble
Speaker 1: that obviously ended up affecting fantasy totally. Didn't have any
Speaker 1: targets or receptions, so that sucked. But twenty carries for
Speaker 1: eighty six yards. Pretty good game. Zeke was great. Amari
Speaker 1: Cooper ended up coming through. As tell people yesterday, you know,
Speaker 1: little iffy, and going into the fourth quarter, I texted
Speaker 1: Frank and like the third quarter, man, you now this
Speaker 1: one great job, And he's just like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: he hit some, but I'm still winning at Jason Witten
Speaker 1: and Cooper's coursing touchdowns dropped into his bread basket. That's
Speaker 1: tunk um Mecha. Gal showed up. Alan Robinson was great,
Speaker 1: Anthony Millers got a touchdown, was amazing. All the Fantasy
Speaker 1: relevant players were very good. It's really interesting because the
Speaker 1: one major change and they highlighted on the broadcast last
Speaker 1: night that they've changed with true Whisky used his legs
Speaker 1: war and ever since he's done that, it's been totally
Speaker 1: different offense. Yeah, he entered last night with eighty rushing
Speaker 1: yards total on the season. He had sixty three rushing
Speaker 1: yards last night alone with a rushing one. Why they stopped,
Speaker 1: I think he was scared because of the shoulder injury
Speaker 1: that happened on a scramble play where he was, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to pick up some yards with his legs and
Speaker 1: he ends up trying to reach out and hurt his shoulders.
Speaker 1: So I think whenever you see an injury like that happened,
Speaker 1: it's always like in the back of your mind until
Speaker 1: I guess now he's healthy and feels all right running again.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, if he's gonna start to run
Speaker 1: like this, he's back in that you know, super flex
Speaker 1: quarterback territory. We'll find out Mr Bisky, who the real
Speaker 1: one is into the coming weeks and we go over
Speaker 1: the Houston side of things in this game, Frank, you
Speaker 1: mentioned to me you wanted to start will Fuller over D. D. Westbrook.
Speaker 1: So I throw that over to Eric Young. Would you
Speaker 1: rather start this week? E Y will Fuller or D. D. Westbrook?
Speaker 1: Who geez, that's a tough one, um, with the quarterback
Speaker 1: situation in Jacksonville. I mean, I think Shark is the
Speaker 1: only one that you can really really trust. D D.
Speaker 1: Westbrook was a guy that we all thought was going
Speaker 1: to have maybe career year with reception and stuff that
Speaker 1: we saw that preseason game with him and falls. I
Speaker 1: can't remember how he catches he had you double digit catches,
Speaker 1: I believe it was. But I think, uh, in this situation, Um,
Speaker 1: if you need the points, I go Fuller. If you
Speaker 1: need a more steady option, you go Westbrook. But I mean,
Speaker 1: in my case, I would probably start Fuller this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it is a close call here, Greg that
Speaker 1: we have to make in the pit league, deciding between
Speaker 1: d D and Will Fuller as one of our flex options.
Speaker 1: H d D did catch it touchdown last week with
Speaker 1: with Gardner Mitchew back in the game there and he
Speaker 1: caught a two point conversion from him as well. But
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos secondary has actually been letting up some
Speaker 1: fantasy points recently. They have allowed four touchdowns to wide
Speaker 1: receivers over their last three games. They have allowed to
Speaker 1: one yard receivers during that span as well. So I
Speaker 1: don't think that you should be worried about Hopkins obviously,
Speaker 1: but I think that there's a chance that assuming he's healthy,
Speaker 1: it's all that Fuller was, you know, limited again all
Speaker 1: week with a hamstring. Assuming he's healthy and good to go,
Speaker 1: I think this could be one of those better games
Speaker 1: for Fuller, and he should have had a touchdown last week,
Speaker 1: you just ended up dropping it. I think if you're
Speaker 1: playing a PPR league as well, Duke Johnson is a
Speaker 1: sneaky lower and flex. They talked about that on the
Speaker 1: broadcast last week while they were playing the Patriots. How
Speaker 1: the Texans wanted to use Duke Moore as a pass catcher.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what he did. He had six targets and
Speaker 1: a receiving touchdown last week. And it is easier to
Speaker 1: throw to the running backs than it is to run
Speaker 1: against this Denver Broncos defense. Let me go with D
Speaker 1: D Westbrooks game. DDU westbrook and the Jacksonville Jaguars are
Speaker 1: at home this week. Taking on the chart of four
Speaker 1: and eight verse four and AIGs, not one. Not what
Speaker 1: I'm interested in except for fantasy purposes. Eu I mentioned
Speaker 1: the only guy he really trusted that wide receiving corps
Speaker 1: is DJ Shark. With Gardner Minshew starting, I think that's fair.
Speaker 1: Thank Leonard four Netts. Obviously you're rolling with him on
Speaker 1: the other side. Can you start, Frank? Can you go
Speaker 1: with big Mike Williams this week? Um? Where's Austin Eckler
Speaker 1: and your ranking? I think those are the two biggest questions,
Speaker 1: because you know what you you know when you're gonna
Speaker 1: start Melvin Gore and you know you're gonna start Keenan Allen.
Speaker 1: So where do you have both Mike Williams and Austin
Speaker 1: Ekeler rank this week? Yeah? So I have Mike Williams
Speaker 1: coming off his one yard game as my wide receiver
Speaker 1: forty three. He's right in this mix with a bunch
Speaker 1: of other options that I kind of like but don't love,
Speaker 1: with Cole Beasley, d D. Westbrooks in this mix, James
Speaker 1: Washington really good matchup against the Cardinals, Emmanuel Sanders, your boy,
Speaker 1: Greg uh and then Hollywood Brown and Terry McLaurin. So
Speaker 1: this is, you know, the wide receiver for flex territory.
Speaker 1: That's where I have Mike Williams for this week. And
Speaker 1: then when it comes to the Chargers running backs, I mean,
Speaker 1: how can you not like them? The Jaguars have just
Speaker 1: been shredded by running backs all season long, and they
Speaker 1: have a lot of really really big games. So I
Speaker 1: have Melvin Gordon as my RB eight and I have
Speaker 1: Austin Ekelers my RB twenty one, so he is a
Speaker 1: low n RB two in this matchup. We'll get you
Speaker 1: watch thoughts on those players when we come back. We'll
Speaker 1: continue going through all the games from Sunday, So stick around.
Speaker 1: A lot more coming your way. That's ey E's Frank,

Speaker 1: Com millionaires are made before you get the break. I
Speaker 1: told you we're gonna get. Eric Young's thoughts of both
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler and Mike Williams. You why what do you
Speaker 1: think of these guys? Mike Williams showed up last week finally, Um,
Speaker 1: maybe one of my worst calls of the offseason. I mean,
Speaker 1: just terrible. I had him way way up my board.
Speaker 1: I have him on a lot of my teams. Um,
Speaker 1: so last year was last week was was a bit
Speaker 1: of a catch your breath and and not look so dumb.
Speaker 1: But uh, I just don't know. He has been very inconsistent,
Speaker 1: so I would probably put him right over Frank Is
Speaker 1: saying in your wide receiver three flex spot maybe, Um,
Speaker 1: but Eckler, I like he's been good. Gordon is the starter,
Speaker 1: but Eckler is gonna get his carries. And then Jacksonville
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to stop running backs all year, So
Speaker 1: I'm starting Eckler for sure. Greg. I don't know why
Speaker 1: they don't just throw those you know, basically jump balls
Speaker 1: to Mike Williams more often. Right, it seems like whenever
Speaker 1: they throw them to him, he does come down with
Speaker 1: that play. So I don't know if it's you know,
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers not having the arm strength to do so
Speaker 1: or the confidence to do so in Mike Williams. But
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I mean, this offense should really just
Speaker 1: be Mike Williams, Keen Now and Hunter Henry in the
Speaker 1: passing attack and a little bit of Austin Ekeler and
Speaker 1: then obviously with Melvin Gordon and Ekeler as the running backs.
Speaker 1: But the target chair has just been so inconsistent for
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. And how about this, Greig. It's week fourteen.
Speaker 1: He still does not have a touchdown. It's been a
Speaker 1: long time. We knew that touchdown regression was gonna hit
Speaker 1: after he had ten touchdowns last year based on his
Speaker 1: targets share, But I mean, god, this has gone so
Speaker 1: far the other way. It's been really bad honestly for
Speaker 1: Mike Williams all season long, for those drafted on him
Speaker 1: and just waiting with a positive reggression to come, don't.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry you asked me, Frank during the break,
Speaker 1: which these quarterbacks away I start. So let's get into
Speaker 1: quarterback we haven't spoken about yet, and that east Jameis Winston.
Speaker 1: Winston is at home this week facing all against Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 1: I leave Marlon mack is back for Indianapolis. Yes, Matt
Speaker 1: Martin mcmaman on the injury. I'd expected to be on
Speaker 1: a pitch count. Either he'll be ready in a rock,
Speaker 1: which means you've got to get him back in your
Speaker 1: line up. T Y Hillen, we don't know if he'll
Speaker 1: play a in the season. And Frank, you were telling
Speaker 1: me yesterday you were talking about Paris Campbell, and my
Speaker 1: buddy reached out to me Earliday he thinks Paris Campbell
Speaker 1: could be a league winner. Why are people so high
Speaker 1: on Paris Campbell going in two week fourteen? Well, there
Speaker 1: was a lot of hype around Paris Campbell in the
Speaker 1: NFL draft. I mean, this is a slot receiver who
Speaker 1: was explosive after the catch, and you know the Colts
Speaker 1: were really hyping him up throughout sprint, throughout the training camp,
Speaker 1: throughout preseason as well. And they need pass catchers on
Speaker 1: this team, right like they have to throw the ball
Speaker 1: to someone outside of Jack Doyle and Zach Pascal. I
Speaker 1: don't know that t Y Hilton is going to play again,
Speaker 1: but we have, you know, been very fond of slot
Speaker 1: receivers the past couple of years for fantasy football. Greg
Speaker 1: and I think that there's an opportunity here for Paris Campbell.
Speaker 1: The schedule upcoming for the Colts is a very good one. Obviously,
Speaker 1: facing the Bucks this week would just allow a ton
Speaker 1: of fantasy production to wide receivers, so that would actually
Speaker 1: be part of the leftover waiver wire segment that we
Speaker 1: normally do. But if you have a dead roster spot
Speaker 1: on the end of your bench, Paris Campbell is someone
Speaker 1: that I would look into adding right now what we're
Speaker 1: talking about the past game here. I like Zack pascually.
Speaker 1: He's inside my top thirty six. He's a wide receiver
Speaker 1: three going up against the Bucks. He just had ten
Speaker 1: targets last week over a hundred yards. The Bucks allow
Speaker 1: the most fantasy points, the most receptions, and most targets
Speaker 1: to wide receivers so far this season. Love Love Love
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle as well. Uh, the Bucks allow the third
Speaker 1: most fantasy points two tight ends, and we know Jack
Speaker 1: Doyle's targets share is going to be there. I don't
Speaker 1: know that Marlon Mack is definitely a start his first
Speaker 1: game back here. I think that he is on a
Speaker 1: pitch account. He's not matchup. It is a tough match matter.
Speaker 1: I think he's more of a higher end RB three
Speaker 1: flex RB two, I'd rather use Austin Ekeler and a
Speaker 1: match up against the Time. That's fine, that low RB
Speaker 1: two territory. If I had Marlon Mack, I'm certainly starting
Speaker 1: over all my schmucks. Yeah, that's fine. But so I
Speaker 1: have Marlon Mack RB twenty eight for example, just ahead
Speaker 1: of him, I have James White, Benny snell Sony Michelle.
Speaker 1: I don't think any of that is egregious, Okay, I egregious? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fine. Um, I was gonna say, so, where did
Speaker 1: you have pass? Where do you have Zach Pascal ranked
Speaker 1: this week? And where do you have Paris Campbell rank
Speaker 1: this week? I'm not gonna put Paris Campbell right back
Speaker 1: into my lineup right away. I kind of want to
Speaker 1: see what he does this week and how much he plays,
Speaker 1: what his snaps look like. But I do have Zack
Speaker 1: Pascal at wide receiver threty three, just ahead of Will Fuller,
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones, and Curtis Samuel. Okay, e y, Zack Pascill
Speaker 1: certainly startable without t Y Hilen, I'm not doing the
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell thing until I see him back. As you said,
Speaker 1: even in a great match up against Tampa Bay. What
Speaker 1: do you think of this wide receiving corps for Indianapolis?
Speaker 1: And Pascal's look good? I mean and and for me,
Speaker 1: I mean that's uh he's a mustar. Tampa Bay hasn't
Speaker 1: been able to stop any wide receiver. Um, Pascal is
Speaker 1: the number one there right now? Why Hilton is out?
Speaker 1: B set has played really well. I'm certain Pascal all
Speaker 1: day long. And I do have a sneaky feeling about
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell. I mean, that's somebody that they really liked.
Speaker 1: He was drafted pretty high, a guy that in the
Speaker 1: offseason I remember reading stuff about him being the one
Speaker 1: that will eventually replace t Y Hilton. Uh So, I
Speaker 1: mean it could be a super sneaky play this week,
Speaker 1: super sneaky play if you are desperate, UM at that spot.
Speaker 1: Let me go to the other side here with the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay buccaneer. If he talked about it, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's off the air on there yesterday, right, But how
Speaker 1: good Chris Godwin and Mike Evans v been of all
Speaker 1: top three wide receivers this season. Last pair to do
Speaker 1: that work West Welker and Randy Moss back and oh come,
Speaker 1: I'm man. He tweeted that out as well. If you
Speaker 1: missed that stat you got those for Tampa Bay. But
Speaker 1: that's not the question, right. The question is what you
Speaker 1: do at the running back position where Rojo has not
Speaker 1: been freed. Peyton Barber was back, and they just roll
Speaker 1: with whoever arians feels like rolling with. It doesn't really
Speaker 1: seem to be logic. Um Rojo missing Bliss pick up
Speaker 1: and that was for him. This past Sunday, Peyton Barber
Speaker 1: got in the mix, scored a couple of touchdowns. Do
Speaker 1: you feel safe or comfortable starting either of them? No?
Speaker 1: I do not feel comfortable starting either one of those
Speaker 1: running backs. It wouldn't surprise me if Ronald Jones gets
Speaker 1: back in the mix this week. Peyton Barber for me,
Speaker 1: more of a lower n RB three, more RB four,
Speaker 1: probably more so if you do start two flexes, He's
Speaker 1: more in that realm as a second flex. But you know,
Speaker 1: you can run against the Colts here twenty one and
Speaker 1: run defense DV away. But again, I just don't feel
Speaker 1: great about who's going to see the workload for the
Speaker 1: bucksh Someone was asking us about Jameis Winston earlier. I
Speaker 1: like Winston. He is my QB eight on the week. Here.
Speaker 1: You know, for all the turnovers that he has, the fumbles,
Speaker 1: the interceptions, he has seventeen or more Fantasy points in
Speaker 1: nine of his last ten games. UH Indianapolis has allowed
Speaker 1: exactly two touchdown passes in three straight games. So I
Speaker 1: think that there is a safe floor for Winston there
Speaker 1: this week. And Greg, you highlighted Mike Evans and Chris
Speaker 1: Godwin how great they've been. They've just been inconsistent. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's you have the big upside for Godwin and Evans,
Speaker 1: but you also have a big downside for both of
Speaker 1: these guys. You're not not going to start them, but
Speaker 1: you do have to realize there is a lot of
Speaker 1: volatility when it comes to these two wide receivers. Well,
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do with that, right you have
Speaker 1: to start them because they can easily win you the week. Obviously.
Speaker 1: The only thing that I do wonder is one, is
Speaker 1: it great? Prettydict who would go off when? And then
Speaker 1: we'retining what we do about it next year, right like,
Speaker 1: because I don't want it too far down because it
Speaker 1: is a Friday. But these two guys they finished the
Speaker 1: top three is or close to it. They both be draft.
Speaker 1: There's number one wide receivers next year in fantasy football,
Speaker 1: Should they be? I think that they should. I mean
Speaker 1: a lot will depend on who the quarterback is. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's going to be Winston again heading
Speaker 1: into next year, but if if it is Winston, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is someone who just likes to wing the ball around.
Speaker 1: I mean he's a lot like Ryan Fitzpatrick, where he
Speaker 1: just throws the ball with reckless abandon and a lot
Speaker 1: of times he's throwing the ball down the field and
Speaker 1: those are gonna go to Mike Evans. And you know,
Speaker 1: they've schemed ways for Chris Godwin to get open playing
Speaker 1: the slot more this year, and that's a very valuable
Speaker 1: spot to be in in this offense. So I think
Speaker 1: that they should both be wide receiver ones asked for
Speaker 1: this week, I referenced this chart from Graham Barfield yesterday.
Speaker 1: Over the last eight weeks, you could see where the
Speaker 1: Colts are allowing more fantasy points, whether it's outside wide
Speaker 1: receivers or slot receivers. And over the past eight weeks
Speaker 1: they are twenty six against out outside wide receivers and
Speaker 1: they are fifth best against lot receivers. So this should
Speaker 1: be a better game for Mike Evans. I hit the
Speaker 1: best game in the a f C. Let me hit
Speaker 1: the best game in the NFC. San Francisco four Niners
Speaker 1: in New Orleans take on the Saints. It's the game
Speaker 1: we've certainly had to market on our calendars for quite
Speaker 1: a while. San Francisco looked good against Baltimore. I'll have
Speaker 1: to be just as good, if not, bet we'll have
Speaker 1: to be better. Actually lost to Baltimore. We'll have to
Speaker 1: be better in New Orleans here on Sunday. So let
Speaker 1: me you know how great San Francisco's defense is, right, So,
Speaker 1: knowing that fact, e y, I gotta throw this to you.
Speaker 1: Are you hesitant to start anybody on New Orleans outside
Speaker 1: of Michael Thomas and almacamara? That includes Drew Brees? If
Speaker 1: you have a better option eric at the quarterback spot,
Speaker 1: do you start them over Drew Brees? Yeah? I mean
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is like in a lot of UM quarterbacks
Speaker 1: this week, it seems is the kind of the pump
Speaker 1: bake position, like where you're like, do I start them?
Speaker 1: Do I not start them? Do I start someone off
Speaker 1: the waiver wire that has a better matchup? Um? This
Speaker 1: is something that I think a lot of people me
Speaker 1: and would have been doing this year, and that's juggling
Speaker 1: streaming quarterbacks. That's definitely been a thing, um that's been very,
Speaker 1: very prominent in fantasy football in the last couple of years. Uh.
Speaker 1: It's a thing I experimented on a couple of my
Speaker 1: teams this year, is picking a quarterback super super late
Speaker 1: and then just trying to coddle together with matchups or
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Drew Brees could fall into that category
Speaker 1: this week because of how good the San Francisco defense
Speaker 1: has been. Um, I do believe that New Orleans is
Speaker 1: going to play angry. And it's hard for me to
Speaker 1: go against Drew Brees. He has been such a good
Speaker 1: and such a productive quarterback for so long. But if
Speaker 1: there's someone sneaky, maybe a Ryan Tannehill against Oakland, Uh,
Speaker 1: someone like that, I mean, you maybe start him over him.
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's gonna be sneaky, man, I
Speaker 1: don't want to. I have Breese QB eighteen. I'm right
Speaker 1: there with you, Greg. I have Jacoby Brisset ahead of it, absolutely,
Speaker 1: have Ryan Fitzpatrick ahead. Absolutely Baker may feel absolutely Arnold
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill I am worried about Drew Brees as well.
Speaker 1: And do you have you know who met Ryan? Huh yeah,
Speaker 1: just barely. Yeah. But it is a tough spot here
Speaker 1: for Drew Brees. And that doesn't mean, you know, you
Speaker 1: don't use Michael Thomas. I like Jared Cook quite a
Speaker 1: bit because of his usage. He has at least seven
Speaker 1: four yards or a touchdown in four stree games. Like
Speaker 1: just because Drew Brees, we expect to have a tougher
Speaker 1: game here. You know, even if he throws you know,
Speaker 1: to fifty and two or you know, to fifty and one,
Speaker 1: you know, that can be a hundred yards to Michael Thomas,
Speaker 1: that can be sixty seventy yards to Jared Cook, and
Speaker 1: you know, fifty to sixty yards for Alvin Kamara. These
Speaker 1: guys could still get there's even in a tougher matchup
Speaker 1: against the San Francisco forty niners. So I'm not going
Speaker 1: away from Thomas Kamara or Jared Cook, but I think
Speaker 1: that this is a tougher spot for Drew Brees since
Speaker 1: he's returned from injury greg a lot like Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: He is QB sixteen and Fantasy points per game. So
Speaker 1: not really showing massive upside. Not exactly. We're on looking
Speaker 1: like I said Drew Brees, Davis Murray as well, not
Speaker 1: in my lad of this week against San Francisco, but
Speaker 1: the forty niners and we have thirty seconds left. Why
Speaker 1: I want you to simmer on this and we get
Speaker 1: back to the break. You know, I asked you yesterday,
Speaker 1: had some time he most Alfrida, Heaven Coleman. They're all startable.
Speaker 1: Maybe this week you have to start one. Which one
Speaker 1: would you start? Think about that? Way on it, Let
Speaker 1: it simmer and answer it when we come back. You're
Speaker 1: on the b FS. Are you ready for the nation's
Speaker 1: first and only, free, twenty four hour network dedicated to
Speaker 1: you the betting and fantasy sports enthusiast. Sports Grade will
Speaker 1: provide you with a real time content, statistics and gaming
Speaker 1: intelligence unlike anything you've ever seen before. Located both in
Speaker 1: the heart of New York City and inside the FanDuel
Speaker 1: Sports Book at the meadow Lands, Sports Grade is live
Speaker 1: eighteen hours a day, here to serve you the fanatic.
Speaker 1: This is Sports Grade. Get on the grid right. You've
Speaker 1: had your time to thing about it, so now let's
Speaker 1: see if you have an answer the question of course,
Speaker 1: which if any San Francisco running back do you want
Speaker 1: to start this week? Eric Matt Brina where he most
Speaker 1: Keevin Coleman all expects it to be active on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Very similar situation to the New England Patriots. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: a great situation for a running back. Uh. Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 1: has always been the guy that kind of running back
Speaker 1: guru um gurus. Running backs are always productive in this offense. Uh.
Speaker 1: So me, I'm just gonna go with Tevin Coleman. He's
Speaker 1: the starter. I believe that he'll have the most carries.
Speaker 1: I know Mostard had more last year and or last
Speaker 1: week and went off and had some massive game. But
Speaker 1: I believe you just got to follow the money and
Speaker 1: follow who is in the starting position, and I believe
Speaker 1: that's Tevin Coleman. All right, Greg, Here's where I have
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners running backs ranked this week.
Speaker 1: Matt Brita RBT eight, he most Art RB forty, Kevin
Speaker 1: Coleman RB forty two. Played opposite of what I said,
Speaker 1: but not just complete the opposite. They're all mixed together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like hedging my bed, Like, how do you rank
Speaker 1: these guys this week. Nobody knows who they're going to use.
Speaker 1: I want to like Matt Breed of the most because
Speaker 1: you know he he's been on ice for a while.
Speaker 1: It seemed like he was ready to go last week.
Speaker 1: They're specifically saving him for this game. They said they
Speaker 1: wanted him to be for this game against the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints, and I think that you know, while Raheem
Speaker 1: Mostart is very explosive, I think Matt Breeda is the
Speaker 1: most explosive of all three of these running backs. But
Speaker 1: the wise exactly right. This is a profitable position for
Speaker 1: fantasy Kyle Shanahan running back specifically in the San franc
Speaker 1: offense behind that offensive line, But as of now, we
Speaker 1: don't know who it's going to be, and we likely
Speaker 1: won't know until you know the for the second quarter
Speaker 1: of this game, it's gonna be a hoth hand approach.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that you know all three of these guys
Speaker 1: are gonna get carried early on in this game, and
Speaker 1: it's whoever is performing the best early in this game
Speaker 1: is going to be relied on the most. Your guess
Speaker 1: is as good as mine. I know that that's not
Speaker 1: what people want to hear. Greg but it's a tough
Speaker 1: situation to figure out. I think Matt Breed is the
Speaker 1: US explosive of the three. I'll take him, let's say
Speaker 1: Breeding as well. You said to me yesterday or in
Speaker 1: this morning, Frank that Emmanuel Sanders in a good spot
Speaker 1: because he can just see that at the slot. That
Speaker 1: mean Deebo Samuel is not in a good spot potentially
Speaker 1: facing off against Marshawn Latimore. I don't want to bet
Speaker 1: against Diebo Samuel because he's been awesome in the past
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and he's been doing it without seeing
Speaker 1: massive targets either. You know, last week you just saw
Speaker 1: four targets and had that catch basically on top of
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters where he lost him. So giving us a
Speaker 1: little bit of a reminder here that he's not just
Speaker 1: a yak wide receiver. He can actually make plays down
Speaker 1: the field. But but Marshall Lattimore returned last week on Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: he has more time to get ready for this game.
Speaker 1: Dievo Samuel plays mostly on the outside. I believe that
Speaker 1: he is going to see Marshall Latimore a lot in
Speaker 1: this matchup. So if you can get away from Lattimore,
Speaker 1: I have him outside of my top thirty six. That's
Speaker 1: something that I would look into doing. I want to
Speaker 1: like Emmanuel Sanders, greg, but we don't really know how
Speaker 1: healthy he is. He hasn't seen a lot of targets
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. But the way to attack
Speaker 1: New Orleans is through the slot. So I think of
Speaker 1: all of the wide receivers on the San Francisco side,
Speaker 1: I think that Emmanuel Sanders has the best matchup here. Well,
Speaker 1: I agree, the best matchup, but like you said, we
Speaker 1: haven't seen him healthy. We haven't. The usage hasn't been great,
Speaker 1: we haven't seen him dominated by any means. I can't
Speaker 1: do it either, Frank, I'm not. It's a risky proposition. Sure,
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't love it. All right, let
Speaker 1: me move on to another game here. Let me get
Speaker 1: to let me in a Sunday night where it's Seattle
Speaker 1: and the Rams, because the question that I've gotten e
Speaker 1: y a lot, and I mentioned this way too much
Speaker 1: this week about Dalmond Cook and Alexander Madison. But I'll
Speaker 1: follost to you. Can you start with Shot Penny and
Speaker 1: Chris Carson this week? Oh man, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think you can I don't feel like I would trust
Speaker 1: Penny enough. Um. It's even hard when I'm even saying it,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think Chris Carson, obviously you can trust.
Speaker 1: This is a team that wants to run the ball.
Speaker 1: He's going to start. But I don't feel like in
Speaker 1: a playoff situation like this, in a in a position
Speaker 1: where I need points and I know that a guy
Speaker 1: is going to get opportunity, I just don't know if
Speaker 1: it's going to be there for Penny. He's the backup.
Speaker 1: He's going to get less carries than Carson um, and
Speaker 1: it just everything has to fall right for him to
Speaker 1: have a big day, right. We talked about this on
Speaker 1: Tuesday at The Night Football. It was basically between Chris
Speaker 1: Carson Rashan Penny. Carson came out as Penny scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown late on Monday night. Can you do it? I'm
Speaker 1: with you. I man, it's it's tough. I think that
Speaker 1: you can do it, but I don't really feel great
Speaker 1: about it. I do have Chris Carson's in my RB
Speaker 1: four teen high end RB two based on the workload
Speaker 1: he has seen all season long, seeing right around twenty
Speaker 1: touches more than twenty touches per game on a weekly basis.
Speaker 1: This is a tough matchup against the Rams. They are
Speaker 1: very good against the run, and since they've got Jalen Ramsey,
Speaker 1: they've actually been good against the past too, you know,
Speaker 1: outside of that game against the Baltimore Ravens, because nobody
Speaker 1: can stop the Baltimore Ravens. But I do have Shot
Speaker 1: Penny as a mid RB three as a flex option.
Speaker 1: Is my RB three be one? He saw fifteen carries
Speaker 1: last week. He actually saw more targets than Chris Carson.
Speaker 1: They both had four carries inside of the red zone.
Speaker 1: Both had two carries inside of the five yard line.
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny has carved out a roll. Now if the
Speaker 1: Seahawks fall behind Greg, they're gonna have to throw the
Speaker 1: ball more. They're gonna get more DK Metcalf and more
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett involved here. But ultimately they are fourth in
Speaker 1: the NFL in rushing percentage. They want to run the football.
Speaker 1: That is basically how this team is constructed right now,
Speaker 1: which is so sad because we are being robbed of
Speaker 1: seeing like prime Russell Wilson. If you get Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: just the play calling that jamis Winston gets like that
Speaker 1: would just be insane from a fantasy perspective. But the
Speaker 1: long answer is, yes, you can do it. I don't
Speaker 1: know that I would want to. Penny is an RB three,
Speaker 1: He is a flex option. I agree he's in that
Speaker 1: mix with all these guys we've been talking about this week.
Speaker 1: Have in my head of Bow, I have in my
Speaker 1: head of Darwin Thompson ahead of a layered ahead of
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson. I don't know that, Darwin to us in Man,
Speaker 1: Damian Williams officially ruled out for this Sunday. Obviously, darro
Speaker 1: wives on I r I was ranking this assuming the
Speaker 1: whole time that Damian Williams was out. I don't know, Man,
Speaker 1: I think I like so you would put would high. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's something that I'm going to wrestle with. Okay, on
Speaker 1: the other side, specifically with the Los Angeles Rams, we
Speaker 1: talked about Cooper Cup. All Right, you know he's Cooper Cup.
Speaker 1: It's fine. Robert was actually really really good over the
Speaker 1: past few weeks. Ever since he missed that one game,
Speaker 1: he's been really good since coming back. Randy Cooks we
Speaker 1: talked about earlier on Monday. He's not He's just not there.
Speaker 1: He's fallen by the wayside compared to Cooper Cup and
Speaker 1: compared to Robert Woods. Any issue just mentioning him this week, Ey, No,
Speaker 1: just because of his former play. The reality is that
Speaker 1: he hasn't been getting it done for weeks and weeks
Speaker 1: and so bending him. I mean that wouldn't be a
Speaker 1: surprise to me. Um. It also wouldn't be a surprise
Speaker 1: to me that he has, you know, five catches for
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifteen yards in a touchdown. Uh. That
Speaker 1: this is who Brandon Cooks is. This is who he's been. Like,
Speaker 1: I understand last year there was a lot more volume.
Speaker 1: Jared Goff was better the off I of line but
Speaker 1: was better. The running game was better. The Rams were
Speaker 1: a better team, especially offensively. They're struggling this year. Uh.
Speaker 1: And Cooks, I just believe Jared Goff is good in
Speaker 1: the time to throw the deep balls and that's that's Uh,
Speaker 1: that's Cook's game. Yeah. I can't fool around with Brandon
Speaker 1: Cooks in the fantasy playoffs. Greg, I agree that it
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if Brandon Cooks gets back involved in
Speaker 1: this game. I don't think that the Seattle Seahawks secondary
Speaker 1: is very good. I think that you can actually throw
Speaker 1: on them. I do like Cooper Cup and Robert Woods
Speaker 1: as wide receiver twos this week. They're both inside of
Speaker 1: my top twenty heading into Week four teen. It's actually
Speaker 1: a better matchup for Cup going up against these slot
Speaker 1: defenders in Seattle. So I do like him more than
Speaker 1: I like Robert Woods. But the volume has been there
Speaker 1: for Robert Woods, and I love Greg. I love Tyler
Speaker 1: Higbee again this week, it doesn't look like Gerald Everett
Speaker 1: is going to play, and he is my tight end nine.
Speaker 1: He is a top ten tight end for me. Last
Speaker 1: time these two teams faced off, they combined for fifty
Speaker 1: nine points and Tyler Higbee and Arld Everett combined for
Speaker 1: nearly two hundred receiving yards against the Seahawks. The Seahawks
Speaker 1: allow a ton of fantasy production to opposing tight ends.
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph just had a touchdown last week against his team.
Speaker 1: I think Tyler Higbee is in another prime prime spot here, Greg.
Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee certainly in a good body, more and more
Speaker 1: a part of the offense here for Los Angeles in
Speaker 1: recent weeks. Let me continue on, Frank, let me get
Speaker 1: try to hit a few more games, and that brings
Speaker 1: me to Arizona, where the Cardinals are hosting the Pittsburgh Steels.
Speaker 1: Did Schuster James Conner have once again been ruled out
Speaker 1: this week for Pittsburgh. I thought Hodges gets another start
Speaker 1: against Arizona. I think one of the biggest questions we have, Frank,
Speaker 1: is can you start Vans McDonald for Pittsburgh. So I
Speaker 1: have Vance McDonald as my tight end twelve, So I
Speaker 1: think the answer is yes. He's a streaming tight end.
Speaker 1: And I know that there have been a few, a
Speaker 1: very select few tight ends that haven't shown up against
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Tyler Eiffer comes to mind. There might have
Speaker 1: been somebody else as well, But look at what Tyler
Speaker 1: Higbee just did last week against this Cardinals defense. And
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, they've acknowledged that. I've actually
Speaker 1: read a few articles this week about how they want
Speaker 1: to get Vance McDonald wing, and they know that this
Speaker 1: is a really good matchup for him. Hell oh, j
Speaker 1: Howard even went off against this Arizona Cardinals defense. So
Speaker 1: I think that you can stream Vance McDonald in this
Speaker 1: spot here, Greg, I think him and Mikeasecki are really
Speaker 1: the streaming tight ends that I'm looking at heading into
Speaker 1: Week fourteen. I do like James Washington as well. He's
Speaker 1: developed a rapport with Doc Hodges and this Arizona Cardinal
Speaker 1: secondary is just absolutely brutal. I like Benny Snell as
Speaker 1: a high end flex option as well. And this pains
Speaker 1: me to say, Greg, I have Kyler Murray in a
Speaker 1: few leagues, I would try my hardest to get away
Speaker 1: from him. The two games that he has really really
Speaker 1: struggled this year, the Saints and last week against the Rams,
Speaker 1: he struggles under pressure. The Pittsburgh Steelers have the average
Speaker 1: the most pressures per game in the NFL, and they
Speaker 1: are third in total sacks. I think Kyler Murray is
Speaker 1: in for a really really tough spot here. They're good,
Speaker 1: They're they're different. Is legitimately good um, and I think
Speaker 1: it's not a great spot. I totally agree with Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray is a good enough spot. You have a Kenyan Drake, though.
Speaker 1: I feel like, I mean, with this offense, they're they're
Speaker 1: going to have short passes, They're they're going to try
Speaker 1: to move the ball. They're going going to have a
Speaker 1: ton of opportunity to move the ball in this defense
Speaker 1: because that's what this team wants to do. They want
Speaker 1: to run a ton of plays. Drake's the starter there,
Speaker 1: which is bizarre for me to say, even out loud.
Speaker 1: I have them in a few places and I'm likely
Speaker 1: to start him this week. But I am worried about
Speaker 1: because the defense has been very, very good. Yeah, Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake just played of the snaps. But you're right e
Speaker 1: why the Pittsburgh Scheelers allowing under four yards for carry
Speaker 1: to opposing running back so far this season, So it's
Speaker 1: it's a volume play versus a bad matchup, and you
Speaker 1: really you've got away that yourself. But I think that
Speaker 1: he is in the mix of a high in flex option.
Speaker 1: He's still seeing a lot of targets. The workload has
Speaker 1: been there. They fell behind last week. He still had
Speaker 1: thirteen carries, but eight percent snapshare for Kenyan Drake. It's
Speaker 1: really hard to get away from that as a flex option. Alrighty,
Speaker 1: let me anything else on this game for you before
Speaker 1: you want um. You know is Washington. People are gonna
Speaker 1: have questions about Christian Kirk. I think he is a
Speaker 1: lower end wide receiver. Three people wanted to trust him
Speaker 1: last week against Jalen Ramsey and the Rams that did
Speaker 1: not work out. I don't know that it's gonna work
Speaker 1: this this week either. Pittsburgh all around. Their defense is good,
Speaker 1: They're gonna get pressure. I think that's gonna force Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray to have to get the ball out quicker. That
Speaker 1: doesn't bode well for Christian Kirk, who has a higher
Speaker 1: average depth of target. He sees more targets further down
Speaker 1: the field. Greg, you mentioned during the break that Corey
Speaker 1: Davis is a sneaky start this week. Potentially you want
Speaker 1: to go on record with that. Uh yeah, I told
Speaker 1: you during the break, Greg, so you didn't really have
Speaker 1: to bring it up on the broadcast. But we will
Speaker 1: talk about Corey Davis here. Because A J. Brown is
Speaker 1: dealing with a calf injury. I think A J. Brown
Speaker 1: should be good to go, but pay attention to this
Speaker 1: here if he can't. I like Ryan Tannehill because you
Speaker 1: can throw against the Oakland Raiders. Their defense does not
Speaker 1: get pressure. Their secondary is very bad. If A J.
Speaker 1: Brown cannot go, Ryan Tannehill is gonna have to throw
Speaker 1: the ball to somebody. Joannod Smith hasn't been involved. Adam
Speaker 1: Humphreys hasn't been involved. A J. Brown has been his guy.
Speaker 1: If A J. Brown is out or is limited in
Speaker 1: any capacity, I think that Corey Davis can have a
Speaker 1: sneaky game. This is more of I'm throwing that out
Speaker 1: there for deeper leagues, you know, those you know in
Speaker 1: your twelve team leagues, you know, just randomly pick up
Speaker 1: Corey Davis and trust him as a wide retiev three.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying in DFS, salary
Speaker 1: is very low, and in deeper leagues, if you need
Speaker 1: to play, just pay attention to that whole situation. When
Speaker 1: A J. Brown, obviously Derrick Henry, your boy e WI
Speaker 1: is gonna do Derrick Henry things, which is always very
Speaker 1: very good for fantasy owners. He's been fantastic this week.
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill clearly a start um as he has been
Speaker 1: for the last several weeks. Say loud, say proud, Greg,
Speaker 1: he has been. Ryan Tannehill is certainly a start for
Speaker 1: the Oakland side. You're starting Darren Waller and Josh Jacobs
Speaker 1: man playing the race a separated shoulder or something kind
Speaker 1: of crazy. Yeah, yeah, I don't mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: even if he does play, I don't know how effective
Speaker 1: he's gonna be pretty banged up. Oakland is on on
Speaker 1: just the vicious slide, and the tennanty Tennessee Titans are
Speaker 1: going the other way. They seem to get a little
Speaker 1: bit better and better offensively each week. This defense has
Speaker 1: been sneaky good all year. Uh, the Oakland Raiders are
Speaker 1: in for it this week, that's for sure. Alright, two
Speaker 1: more games, frank on Sunday, with just a minute ago,
Speaker 1: You're New York Jets at home taking on e t s.
Speaker 1: Take it on the Miami Nolphins. Frankie, what do you got?
Speaker 1: I do like Ryan Fitzpatrick as a DFS quarterback. I
Speaker 1: like him as a stream as well. If you are desperate,
Speaker 1: obviously you're using Davontae Parker. Laird is a lower and
Speaker 1: flex option. On the other side, Levy on Bell pay attention.
Speaker 1: He has an illness if you own pick up Blal
Speaker 1: Powell as well. I love, love, love Robbie Anderson this week.
Speaker 1: He is a low and wide receiver too for me,
Speaker 1: Greg And with Washington Green Bay with five seconds left, Uh,
Speaker 1: start all the running backs. You know he's e y,
Speaker 1: He's frank good luck in the playoffs. Will do it
Speaker 1: all again next week. Well, are you ready? For the

Speaker 1: Alexander Medicine. Sorry, buddy, I'm not gonna do that. Come on,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that. We'll see, we'll see on
Speaker 1: today's show. There were a lot of the games yesterday,
Speaker 1: which was great. We spent a lot of time breaking
Speaker 1: down the games. Today, we'll do all the games that
Speaker 1: we missed. It would be great. Um, you can call
Speaker 1: that kind of like the leftovers, right, because we haven't
Speaker 1: done in half the games like leftovers? Got it? Sure,
Speaker 1: you go ahead and play it, play the SoundBite if
Speaker 1: you want to find it. Prepare Danny. That's that's fair.
Speaker 1: I can't do that well. We got time throughout the breaker.
Speaker 1: Didn't get your fill from the waiver wire. The BFFs
Speaker 1: has your leftovers. Watch that's never mind, give me a
Speaker 1: whole lot of it. We had a whole slate, all
Speaker 1: the leftovers, ahole plate boom, leftovers to get to. So
Speaker 1: let's begin with arguably the game of the weekend. The
Speaker 1: New England Patriots hosting the Kansas City Chiefs are rematch
Speaker 1: of the a f C Championship game from a year ago.
Speaker 1: That one was in Kansas City, this one is in
Speaker 1: New England. Why my question to you which running me?
Speaker 1: You can only start one from each team? Which running
Speaker 1: back do you want to start from the Chiefs? And
Speaker 1: which running back do you want to start from? The
Speaker 1: camp from the New England Patriots judging by last week,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be James White. Um, but I'm staying
Speaker 1: strong and that's just like I've been all year. The
Speaker 1: Patriots running back it's a mess. Every year. Everyone wanted
Speaker 1: to tell me in the offseason that Sony Michelle was
Speaker 1: the unequivocal number one running back, was going to carry
Speaker 1: the ball, was going to score a pilot touch ounds.
Speaker 1: Well that hasn't happened because that's not what the Patriots due. Um.
Speaker 1: James White had a hell of a game. Seemed like
Speaker 1: there are times when he was the only guy on
Speaker 1: the field or the only guy that Brady could see
Speaker 1: last week. UM, so that that would be my my vote. Uh.
Speaker 1: But I mean it's a dart throw, just like it's
Speaker 1: always been. And I'm gonna go with McCoy. I think
Speaker 1: he's going to be the starter. But I do have
Speaker 1: a sneaky suspicion about Darwin Thompson. Frank the same question
Speaker 1: to you, my friend. Actually have Darwin Thompson rank the
Speaker 1: highest of the Chief's running back so far. Damian Williams
Speaker 1: did not practice again yesterday. I haven't seen the Chiefs
Speaker 1: practice for yet for the for today, but I would
Speaker 1: be very surprised if Tammy and Williams is good to
Speaker 1: go in week four teen. Darryl Williams has already been
Speaker 1: ruled out, so I will take Darwin Thompson as well
Speaker 1: with SEW McCoy has been inactive over the past month
Speaker 1: or so. He has seen a limited workload and perhaps
Speaker 1: they've been saving him for a game like this, But personally,
Speaker 1: I feel like Darwin Thompson is in play. For double
Speaker 1: digit touches here in this game against the New England Patriots,
Speaker 1: and then on the other side, I think James White
Speaker 1: is what he has been a season long Gregg. He
Speaker 1: is a flex. He had a bunch of work last week.
Speaker 1: They were trailing for a lot of last week. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that that's going to be the case. I
Speaker 1: have Sony Michelle rank the highest of the Patriots running backs.
Speaker 1: This week, you can run on the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: and I think that they will try to do just that.
Speaker 1: Remember the playoffs, Creig that was That was a game
Speaker 1: where Sony Michelle scored. I believe it was three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs a lot of Sony Michelle
