Speaker 2: your host, Chris Raybon and on this show. We're gonna

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: run through our top five at every position, discuss players

24
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: were high and low on, and we'll throw out the

25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: player props for each position. Here to break it down

26
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: with me, one of the top fantasy rankers and projectors

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: in a game, the odds maker, Sean Kerner, Sean, what

28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 2: is good?

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: What's up?

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 4: I had a really good week two one like about

31
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 4: eight units overall, but had a really good week. Definitely

32
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 4: unfortunate to see the Nick Chubb injury. That was such

33
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 4: a bummer last night. But yeah, how are you doing?

34
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: Doing good? Had a good week to shout to my

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: boy Tank Dew that got a oh yeah, tripled off

36
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: the prop I bet on him. But yeah, it's interesting

37
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: interestingly too, so lot lots to talk about, some interesting

38
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: usage trends and whatnot. But yeah, hopefully Chubb is good.

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: A lot of a lot of a lot of injuries.

40
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: Rough week, yeah, department.

41
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: But let's start a quarterback. Who are your top five

42
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: quarterbacks for week number three?

43
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 4: So right now, I have Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen,

44
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson, and Justin Herbert yep.

45
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: Same top fire me. Let's go right into who.

46
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 3: Are you high? Here we go. Gino Smith.

47
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: You know, he's at home against the Panthers, and he's

48
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: my QB eight for some reason, east yards all the

49
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 4: way down at keep fourteen right now, which is kind

50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 4: of weird.

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

52
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 4: You know, Gino did have a nice bounce back game

53
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: last week at the against the Lions, you know, through

54
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 4: for three hundred and twenty eight yards two touchdowns. You know, Jackson,

55
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 4: Smith and Jigba is only going to get better as

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 4: the season goes on. So I think Gino's value will

57
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: only continue to sneak up, you know, as long as

58
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: all three receivers are healthy. So I'm continuing to vest

59
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: and Gino Smith and the Panthers defense are going to

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: be without top cornerback jac Horn for a few games.

61
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: Shack Thompson's also out, I believe, so it's an easier

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 4: matchup on paper. And yeah, I'm going back to the

63
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 4: world Gino Smith this week.

64
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: That's interesting. I actually do have him at fourteen. Looking

65
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: at why. I think it's because the Panthers played pretty

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: good past dy On Well for two weeks in a

67
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: row now, but they have Carter down so that it

68
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: might be pulling to that. But yeah, I have him

69
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: at fourteen for now, but yeah, you know, I think

70
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: that people kind of overreacted to the tackles being out

71
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: like these weren't like all pro tackles. They were great

72
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: second year tackles for Seattle, but you know, they they

73
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: were replaced when I thought they had a really good

74
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: game plan against the trade. So I may move him up,

75
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: but yeah, he's my fourteen for now. I am high

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: on a couple of guys. Kirk Cousins is my QB.

77
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: He's KEP nine in ECR. And listen, man, this Charger

78
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: d I don't know what's going on with it. On paper,

79
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: they have talent, but this defense just gets just blasted

80
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: every single week somehow, some way. So you know, I know,

81
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: Brandon stay Seed is getting hot, but Kirk Cousins has

82
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: been balling, and now that he has Jordan Addison to

83
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: kind of win against man coverage, I think that this

84
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: Viking's team is going to continue to rely in the past.

85
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: You know, Madison was horrible and that in that Thursday

86
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: night game, so I mean, and you know, obviously went

87
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: through some things after too, which was uncalled for. But

88
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: I think this this Viking offense is kind of built

89
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: to throw the ball still, you know, and they haven't

90
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: really been able to run it even with some of

91
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: those bigger formations, but it's been working. Cousins has six

92
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 2: touchdowns this year, already leads the league. He's completing seventy

93
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: three percent of his passes, averaging over three hundred and

94
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 2: fifty yards a game. So you're facing the Chargers, Yes,

95
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: sign me up all day. And Russell Wilson I actually

96
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 2: have him as a low end stream rock QB eleven

97
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: right now. He's QB nineteen in ECR. And my thing is,

98
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: you know, going against Miami, I think Miami is going

99
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: to be able to uh score some points and and

100
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: put some pressure on this this uh, this Denver offense.

101
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: But also you know you saw Marvin mim start to

102
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: get involved. Now you got Judy, you know he was

103
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 2: he played every snap, but he really didn't seem fully healthy.

104
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: So now he'll have a week back. Uh. And I

105
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: think with all these receivers, you know, Johnson made some plays.

106
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: Who else was there? Humphrey you know, made a player too,

107
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: So I think the receiving game is decent. And you

108
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: know he was thrown downfield a little more, so I

109
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: think he should be in that streamer consideration and what

110
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: could be a shootout this week?

111
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, where'd you have him ranked again?

112
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: I'm eleven right now?

113
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 3: Eleven?

114
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah I haven't.

115
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 4: That's one of the guys have a yeah, I have

116
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: in QB seventeen. You know, if Anthony Richardsons out, he'll

117
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: move up to QB sixteen. But haven't had as much

118
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 4: time to you know, sharpen my projections.

119
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, I was.

120
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 4: I was encouraged to see Marvin Mims finally get involved,

121
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 4: and like you said, Judy's back. I am a bit

122
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 4: concerned with Greg dolcich out. I mean they got zero

123
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: production from the tight end position. Yeah, Troutman didn't have

124
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 4: a single catch. But either way, if they're you know,

125
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 4: throwing it to mems deep and Judy's culture one hundred

126
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 4: percent next week, I could definitely make the case for

127
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 4: Wilson being more of a high end.

128
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: QB two this week. For sure.

129
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: You long, I'm long.

130
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 4: On Justin Fields at Kansas City. He's all the way

131
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 4: down to my quarterback ten. So you know, I'm sure

132
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 4: anybody that drafted him, you know I have him in

133
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 4: some leagues, was not expecting him to be like a

134
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 4: fringe QB one two on any week really, but he's

135
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 4: had a rough start and is the QB sixteen on

136
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 4: the season through two weeks. You know, he only rushed

137
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 4: four times for three yards last week. That's really the

138
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: red flag for me. You know, I'm sure he's gonna

139
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 4: bounce back and you know probably you know, more of

140
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 4: a low end QB one going forward, but he's just

141
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 4: gonna have to get better.

142
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

143
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 4: You know, the Chiefs defense got a huge boost, you know,

144
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 4: resigning Chris Jones bringing him back, So this is gonna

145
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 4: be a tough spot where he's gonna have to drop

146
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: back and pass a little bit more. I don't know

147
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 4: if he's a top five option right now. So he's

148
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 4: he's moving down my rinks quite a bit.

149
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's still holding the ball and it's Tuesday, Tuesday,

150
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: he's still holding the ball in a pocket. Look at

151
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: the three open receivers. I don't even know, Like what

152
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: is it is? It is it Getsy and Eberflus who

153
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: are just like trying to because like the one thing

154
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: is they're not designing runs for him and he seems

155
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: not to want to scramble, like, so is it are

156
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: they trying to fit a square peg in a round hole,

157
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: or do they kind of know this guy can't really,

158
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: like like they're just trying to make him play like

159
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: a real quarterback because he's so bad. I don't know

160
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: what is going on. I know, I know he's been

161
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: missing open receivers, but I also know he looks completely different,

162
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: like he looks like he's scared to run because he

163
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: was told not to or something.

164
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 4: So I don't know which is the biggest concern for fantasy,

165
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 4: but yeah, it's probably it goes both ways. He just

166
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 4: looks like he takes way too much time and has

167
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 4: dropped back, so he kind of invites pressure when he

168
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 4: does that, and then he makes it he just makes

169
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: it tougher on himself when yeah, like he should be

170
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 4: tapping into his rushing up side. He's not really a

171
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: pocket passer. So I'm sure they'll figure it out, but

172
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 4: right now it might take a few games to get there,

173
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 4: but definitely a very concerning start for Justin Gianz.

174
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: And the Chiefs defense looks good. I mean, yeah, yeah,

175
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: he hailed that Lions offense to you know, twenty points,

176
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: and then they hailed at Jacksonville offense to nine. So

177
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: at this rate, they're gonna shut out the Bears. Yeah

178
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 2: for kidding, So yeah, Fields with my QB thirteen. So

179
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: I'm right with you, it's out. Yeah, without the without

180
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: the rushing. I mean, you know, rushing is pretty sticky.

181
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: So like you have to kind of pay attention to

182
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: the fact that his his running numbers are way down.

183
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 2: That's now were two games in. At some point, You're right,

184
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: they have to just say the hell with it. But

185
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 2: ntil they do fringe fringe QB one. Uh. For me,

186
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: it's Derek Carr, He's the QB twenty and ECRs my

187
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: QB twenty seven.

188
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

189
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: You know, again, he's losing. He'll always lose, like a

190
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 2: snaper or two to Taysom Hill. And I just, you know,

191
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: looking at him yesterday, struggled again on Monday night, just

192
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 2: I felt like he should have had more better numbers

193
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: than he did. So, you know, it's it's kind of

194
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 2: hit or miss hit with him. I just he's kind

195
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: of he's just kind of like another Andy Dalton to

196
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: be like, you know what I mean, He's gonna be

197
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: fine for the Saints. They have a good defense, but

198
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: fantasy wise, not really seeing it for him. So I

199
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 2: wouldn't even I wouldn't try to start him in a

200
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: QB two league, even if you know, even if I could,

201
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: I would try to find a streamer. This week. I

202
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be a pretty well scoring game between

203
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: them and the Packers. So and he's on a road.

204
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: Uh so yeah, okay, what what you got for the problem?

205
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: Did we split last week? I think both one?

206
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, we had some good lines that you're like,

207
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 4: uh yeah, Schultz was right off, Yeah, the Schultz is

208
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 4: over by a half yard or yeah, yeah, yeah, damn, Okay,

209
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: I have a very ugly one. But I think it's

210
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 4: critical setting these Bengals projections right now. So assuming Joe

211
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 4: Burrow's out, what are you projecting for Jake Browning's passing yards?

212
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna give you two fourteen and a half

213
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: that's my line.

214
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: I have him at two thirteen, so I'll go under.

215
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: It's been it's been tough for them to throw the ball,

216
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: even with Burrow, So I'm not gonna you know, I mean,

217
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: unless there's like they just get way behind. Uh you know,

218
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna project him for a huge number because

219
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on down the field with them.

220
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: It just seems like it just almost It's Burrow almost

221
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: looked a little reminded me a little of like Russell

222
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 2: Wilson at times. It's just like he just wouldn't throw

223
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: it to certain parts of the field anymore. I don't know,

224
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: but so I don't think it's anything to do with

225
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: the receivers, but his Ram team, they're gonna play a

226
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 2: lot of his own. But I think the Bengals will

227
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: probably try to run a little more and keep the game,

228
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: keep the game close, so you have to have to

229
00:10:59,320 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: go under.

230
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 4: But it's going to come down a game script. Yeah, yeah,

231
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 4: for sure. And that that really lowers like t Higgins

232
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 4: projection for me. We'll get to that later. And Browning

233
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 4: he's more of a running quarterback, so wouldn't shock me

234
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 4: if he scrambles quite a bit again, you know, even

235
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 4: lowering the passing output even more.

236
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: So. Yeah, this is rough blow for the Bengals receivers. Yeah.

237
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I think Jamar Chase is out of my top five.

238
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, like maybe outside of the top ten.

239
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, he's borderline.

240
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 3: It's close.

241
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: It's going to depend ye how much how many passing

242
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: yards we ultimately land on for Browning, but more memories

00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: your top five.

256
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: So I have Christ McCaffrey, Tony Pollard, b John Robinson,

257
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 4: Derrick Henry, and Austin Eckler in there for now. But yeah,

258
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 4: it was a rough week two for the top five

259
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 4: because obviously Eckler mess and then we have the injuries

260
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 4: to both Barkley and Chubb. It seems like Barkley might

261
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 4: try to play Thursday, but I'm assuming with the short

262
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 4: week they're gonna hold him out, so he's I'm not

263
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 4: projecting him yet.

264
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's I think that's his games Okay, I mean,

265
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: why would you play him on a short week.

266
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: You know, against the Niners at San Francisco.

267
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 2: Doesn't doesn't add up? Yeah, I got McCaffrey, Pollard, b

268
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: Jon Robinson, Kyen Williams number four, and Josh Jacobs five.

269
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 4: Nice who Yeah, well, let's let's go with my boy,

270
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: Kyrien Williams.

271
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: He's my running back nine. So you're much much higher

272
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: on him than me.

273
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 4: And you know, again, nine months ago, I was high

274
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 4: on him when I thought the Rams were supposed to

275
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 4: be trading cam Akers.

276
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 3: So here we go again.

277
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 4: But I think Kieren Williams is here to stay and

278
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 4: mcveigh's actually leaning on him now. Finally, Kien played ninety

279
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 4: five percent of their snaps last week. He also saw

280
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 4: a nineteen percent target rate, which is something I've been

281
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 4: keeping an eye on because Stafford typically has him been

282
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 4: targeting his running backs past couple years, and I just

283
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 4: think it's because he hasn't had a good pass catching back.

284
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 4: And I considered Kyroen maybe the second best pass catching

285
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 4: back from last year's class, So that was really good

286
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 4: to see he had the six receptions along with just

287
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 4: having every snap on early downs, every snap on the

288
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 4: goal line. So he's like a true workhorse back and

289
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 4: the Rams offense is just clicking right now without Cooper

290
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 4: Cup so it's probably going to be even better once

291
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 4: he returned. So as of now, yeah, I think Kien

292
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 4: Williams is an RB one And we'll see what happens

293
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 4: with cam Akers, Like if they trade him away, are

294
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: they gonna bring anybody in? But if this keeps up,

295
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 4: Kyron Williams is absolutely an RB one.

296
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

297
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 2: I think Sean McVay he just plays his guys right,

298
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's like, Okay, Pukah's ball and he's gonna play.

299
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: Tutu's playing. Williams is playing like I just think he

300
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: I saw a quote from him saying like we needed

301
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: to get back to like stop being reactionary on offense

302
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: and just get back to what we wanted to do,

303
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: and it just seems like he's doing that. You know,

304
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: It's like he's got the young guys out there, because

305
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: even a guy like you know, Van Jefferson, who you

306
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: would think would be ahead of two Tuka, you know,

307
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: he's losing stats too, it's just like whoever's playing well,

308
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: uh McVeigh, I don't think he has any problem playing

309
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: them even though they're young. So yeah, I think Kyron

310
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: he's he's the next toime girl Like yeah, right, I mean.

311
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 3: Not to excited over here.

312
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: I mean shit, I mean that's what.

313
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: That's what? Right?

314
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, And yeah, like I think I remember McVeigh this.

315
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: This might have been a couple of years ago. He

316
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 4: was saying like he just likes having overcurse back. It

317
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: makes it easier for him the game plan. I think

318
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 4: at the time it was a dig against Darryl Henderson

319
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 4: if I remember, right, But he is said in the

320
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 4: past like he likes just having over course back. He

321
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 4: doesn't want all these like different role players. So yeah,

322
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 4: I think McVeigh does want, you know, a guy like

323
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 4: Kyron's to dominate the snaps.

324
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think part of it is, you know,

325
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: that offensive line was shaky last year. I think this year,

326
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: you know, you want to be able to go with

327
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: some tempo and keep the like have a back on

328
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: the field that could play run and pass, and I

329
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: think Acres just couldn't do that, Like they just really

330
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: didn't like to play him. In a pass game, So

331
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: now if you're trying to hurry up and you want

332
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: to throw the ball like Acres is kind of like

333
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: a non entity. So I think that's why Kiren gets

334
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: to play every down. But yeah, I love kyroon this

335
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: week too. Who else you got?

336
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: Oh?

337
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 4: I also love you know, Zach Moss right now at Baltimore.

338
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 4: He's my RB twenty four. He played all but one snap,

339
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: and the snap he didn't play, there was no running

340
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: backs on the field, so neither backup Deon Jackson or

341
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: Jake Funk played a single snap. So as of now,

342
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 4: Moss is you know, low end RB two. He's getting

343
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 4: the volume and in fancy volume is king uh. And

344
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 4: he had a decent game, you know, he rushed for

345
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: eighty eight yards and a touchdown, also caught four balls.

346
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 4: So it's still unclear what's gonna happen with Jonathan Taylor

347
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 4: once he's elderly to return in week five, so I'm

348
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 4: not sure if Moss has like long term value, But

349
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 4: as of now, at least for like week three and

350
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 4: week four, Zach Moss is getting like every touch and

351
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 4: should be like a low end RB two.

352
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's rby ten do you have R twenty four.

353
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: I mean, what am I supposed to do. He's not

354
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: he's not going off, he's not coming off the field.

355
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 3: You know.

356
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: Last week actually I was like a lot higher on

357
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: him because I figured I was, like, Dean Jackson played

358
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: so bad that he's probably gonna come and be the

359
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: future bag. But like now, yeah, I have like like

360
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: two carries for the for Jackson and like one for fun.

361
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think, yeah, maybe the matchup and again,

362
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 4: member the famous quote by Abe Lincoln, don't judge anybody

363
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 4: by their fancy projections on Tuesday morning, So I'll probably

364
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 4: be closer to your RB ten if I'm being honest.

365
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 3: But I know ECR was really low on him.

366
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: Again, I'm not judging because everybody's yeah, probably just rolling

367
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 4: over last week's projections. But yeah, I just think it's

368
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 4: weird to say it, but Zach Moss is a legit

369
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 4: RB two.

370
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 3: Maybe a high end one. And we've never really been

371
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: able to say that before.

372
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, like when you come off an

373
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: injury and you were out like for a month, and

374
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: then you immediately play every snap like this is Kayen

375
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: Williams all over again. It's like not the same coming

376
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 2: off an injury. But it's like the sign is there

377
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: like that that they're not feeling these other backs.

378
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 3: And yeah, the other guy bit horrible in week one. Yeah,

379
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: and Hole got hurt.

380
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: Who looked good, but he got hurt. So I think

381
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: that's another reason, like they would have probably gone like

382
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: Moss and mixed in some Hole, but he's on i R.

383
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think you know, snaps are a key

384
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: for running backs. But yeah, I totally agree on Moss.

385
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: I'm going Jerome Ford and the one that probably ECR

386
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: just hasn't caught up to. He's RB twenty five. Yeah,

387
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: but I have him RB thirteen and another guy who

388
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: I expect to be a feature back with Nick Chubb

389
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: out and you know, he looked really good. I mean

390
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: that that reverse field run where he went what is

391
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: like sixty nine yard run. I think it was nice

392
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: last night. Loved it. Now Tennessee is a tougher matchup

393
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: for running back to the only reason I don't have

394
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: him in the top ten. But I do expect him

395
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 2: to handle about seventy five percent of this backfield and

396
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 2: that's still going to be valuable Cleveland. It's still probably

397
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: going to be a run heavy team going forward, So

398
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: Jerome Ford for me, and he's averaging over four yards

399
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: after contact for his career, so that's always something you

400
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: like to see because Cleveland they can run black again,

401
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: tougher matchup. But yeah, like like forward this.

402
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 4: Week, Yeah, I saw somebody complaining about is like recent

403
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 4: or his like upcoming schedule for the next few games.

404
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 4: I'm like, it doesn't matter, Like he's he's gonna be

405
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: seeing a ton of touches. I'm not too worried Abou

406
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 4: appear strong or Hassan Hall behind him. He could command

407
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: like a similar role as Nick Chubb. In the meantime,

408
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 4: I think they might call in like you know, Cream

409
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 4: Hunt or maybe trade for cam Akers. So maybe long

410
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 4: term Jerome Ford might not be an RB two, but

411
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 4: at least for this week, he's absolutely like a high

412
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 4: end RB two.

413
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, and also Jerome Ford is better than

414
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: cam Akers, I think, and oh yeah, yeah right. I

415
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: mean even if those guys come on, it might just

416
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 2: still be for like a backup role. Yeah, who you

417
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: will on.

418
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 4: So I'm low on Breis Hall against the Patriots, He's

419
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 4: my RB thirty seven. I think ECR is still pretty

420
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 4: high on him. You know, he came crashing on to

421
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 4: earth flast, but he only ran the ball four times

422
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 4: for nine yards, didn't see a catch. But the most

423
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 4: concerning development for both, you know, Hull and Dalvin Cook

424
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 4: was Michael Carter took over as the pass catching back,

425
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 4: So Michael Carter took most of the third down work

426
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 4: and all the two minute offense. So that's that's just

427
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 4: really bad news for Hull and Cook, who are now

428
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 4: essentially splitting early down work on a Zach Wilson led offense.

429
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 4: So that's that's just not gonna be good for Fancy

430
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 4: in the meantime. Obviously, Briest Hall's talented enough to maybe

431
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 4: break off a big run or two, but as of now,

432
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 4: like he has to be treated as more of like

433
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 4: a low end RB three flex unless you know, that

434
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 4: was just a blip on the radar with Michael Carter's usage.

435
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: So very low on Breesehall this week. And I'm also

436
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: low on Khalil Herbert, which I hate to say because

437
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 4: I do love the talent, and I'm conflicting thoughts on

438
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 4: Herbert based on the last week because you know, Dante

439
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: Foreman was a healthy scratch, which didn't make this more

440
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 4: of a two way committee. I mean, it was pretty

441
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 4: much a split between Herbert and Roshawn Johnson. However, the

442
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 4: Bears offense, like we mentioned with justin fields, just couldn't

443
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 4: get anything going. So it's gonna be tough to trust

444
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 4: either back until this offense gets back on track. And

445
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: since this is going to probably be a trailing pass

446
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 4: heavy game script, I do lean towards Roshawn this week

447
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 4: because he has been more involved in the passing game.

448
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 4: So Khalil Herbert's out of my RB three flex range,

449
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 4: but going forward he might, you know, move up because

450
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 4: if this is a two way backfield, you know, both

451
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 4: of these backs might be able to write some value

452
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: going forward.

453
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I mean, Chicago's just a mess right now.

454
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 2: The pecon is bad. They're gonna be you know, they're

455
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: not They're not getting leads everything, They're not gonna be

456
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 2: confirmed on third downs. Everything's just bad. So yeah, it's

457
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: it's tough to trust anybody in that offense. For me,

458
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 2: it's Jerick McKinnon who I'm low on. He's RB forty one.

459
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: This guy just hasn't been getting touches this year. He

460
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 2: got one touch in the first game. And then he

461
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: got four touches in week two. So now you're playing

462
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 2: a team where you're a double digit favorite against the Bears.

463
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: So this is not a McKinnon game script. So and

464
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even touch him as a flex, even in

465
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: a deeper league if I could help. But he's already

466
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: fifty about ten spots lower than the ECR.

467
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, that's not the ideal game script for him.

468
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 4: And if you don't like any rush yards, three catches

469
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 4: for twenty yards by all means, play Jack McKinnon.

470
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got his. I think it's under seven hundred

471
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: and a half or something like that or for his

472
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: total yardage this season. So that's looking good. Oh yeah,

473
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: but okay for the prop, we gotta go to Breese

474
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: Hall here. This is this is ridiculously tough. And you

475
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 2: know the line isn't run blocking very well either. I mean,

476
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 2: Preeste Hall, that big run he had, he had more

477
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 2: yards after contact than I think he had total in

478
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: that first game, So just not much before contact. Thirty

479
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 2: six and a half rushing yards for Breeze.

480
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 4: We go, oh damn it, I have thirty five again,

481
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 4: a lean oleen under here. That's a good line.

482
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 2: Though, yeah, I mean can you can't. I don't think

483
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: he can really project them from more than nine carries

484
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 2: right now. It's tough.

485
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 3: Nope.

486
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 4: How many receptions do you have him for? That's the

487
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 4: concern in my opinion, Like I can't give more than

488
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 4: one and a half.

489
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have n't just over one catch his way

490
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: down in the past game. I don't know if that

491
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 2: was part of it. I know they were getting vone out.

492
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: But you know, if he's gonna come off the field

493
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 2: on pass downs and he relying on like design screens

494
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: and and things like that.

495
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 4: He's the He's the ultimate bet on talent RBF flex

496
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 4: I've ever seen my entire life, because the usage isn't there,

497
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 4: but the talent is.

498
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's it's been up and down.

499
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: I mean, he saved this his his UH line in

500
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: Week one with that big run, but you saw the

501
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 2: red flags because you know, outside of that run, you

502
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: really the whole run game really got nothing. So yeah,

503
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 2: he's he definitely has proven he can break these big plays,

504
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: but when they're not there.

505
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 4: And he got gassed on that right that should have

506
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 4: been a touchdown, but he got gassed. It was like

507
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 4: that Dobbin's run last year where you knew he wasn't

508
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 4: one hundred percent.

509
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, happened a few times. I think happened at Ford.

510
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 2: It happened to Mike Evans. I think like a lot

511
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 2: of guys have been getting caught from behind, uh this year.

512
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 2: But all right, so you're going under all right, wide receiver?

513
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 2: Who you got top five?

514
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 4: So I have justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill, I'm on ros

515
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 4: Saint Brown, Keenan Allen baby number four, and then Stefan

516
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 4: Diggs just my placeholder at wide receiver five every week.

517
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: Yep, I got Jefferson Hill, Keenan Allen third four and

518
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 2: uh and digs five. Yeah, mon Roy, I know he

519
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 2: was just cramping a little bit. I don't know where

520
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 2: he is.

521
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 4: Toe is cramping, which isn't good, Like it could be

522
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 4: like a turf toe situation. Yeah, definitely something in a monitor.

523
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 4: So I'm not I'm not factoring that in yet. That's

524
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 4: why he's my wide receiver three. But are you downgrading

525
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 4: him a bit because of that?

526
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

527
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: Just just for now, just knocking.

528
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

529
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 2: The first game he played every snap. The second game

530
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: he only played about just over seventy percent. So I

531
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: kind of taking the average of those that having like

532
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 2: high eighties in terms of snaps this week gotch so

533
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: we know more so, yeah, he's a little further down.

534
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: He's like wire receiver eight from me who are high.

535
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: On I'm high on two two out Well he's my

536
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 4: wide receiver twenty eight. And you know, Pooka Nikkou is

537
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 4: getting all the love and rightfully so, I mean, what

538
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 4: an incredible start. Like I said, he's essentially Cooper Cup

539
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 4: plus right now, so you know, I have no reason

540
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 4: to fat him really, but I just think two two

541
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 4: has been under the radar because he's been solid too.

542
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 4: You know, he ran ninety eight percent of the routes

543
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 4: last week. He's seen a twenty three percent target rate

544
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 4: this season with a with an eight out of fourteen

545
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 4: point six, so he's getting those valuable downfield targets and

546
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 4: just have to imagine defense will start putting extra resources

547
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 4: and trying to slow down Pooka, which could free up

548
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 4: to two even more so. Of course this is all

549
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 4: coming at the expense of Tyle Higbee. But as of now,

550
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 4: like I think, you know, Pooka Nikou is obviously a

551
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 4: must start, but I think to two could be like

552
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 4: a high end wide receiver three right now, I think

553
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 4: we can trust him at this point. And the other

554
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 4: guy I'm high on is a former ram In, Josh Reynolds.

555
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 4: You know, he's my wide receiver thirty seven right now,

556
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 4: And last week I noticed I was like twenty pluss

557
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 4: higher than him than ECR. But it seems you know,

558
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 4: he's the clear number two receiver for the Lions right now.

559
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 4: He's you know, averaging an eighty percent routes run rate.

560
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 4: He's seen a twenty percent target rate in both weeks now,

561
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 4: he's had two big games now and like we just mentioned,

562
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 4: you know, Aman Rock could be dealing with the tow injury.

563
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 4: If he's ruled out or limited in any way, you know,

564
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 4: Josh reynolds projection is going to go up even more.

565
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: So I think as of noubt, you could treat Josh

566
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 4: Reynolds as a low end wide receiver three.

567
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 3: And even when Jamison Williams comes back, I don't.

568
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 4: Think he's just gonna get demoted like he could be

569
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 4: what everybody had this imaginary Jamison Williams role being.

570
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: It's Josh Reynolds.

571
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 4: So I like him short term obviously, and even long term, Like,

572
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 4: I don't think Jamison Williams is going to command the

573
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 4: number two role when he comes back. I think Josh

574
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 4: Reynolds is playing well enough he can keep this job.

575
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Williams's best case scenario at this point is the

576
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 2: number three and that even that is pushing it based

577
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: on what we've seen at him so far, right, because

578
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: I mean, Jones hasn't done anything, so he could jump him.

579
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 2: But you know, Raymond, I mean, I don't know if

580
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: Jamison is better than Kobie for Raymond, you know, for

581
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 2: what they I mean, for what they give the team

582
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: in terms of the speed. Yeah, so, uh, mar jumping

583
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: Marvin Jones would be his best shot and that would

584
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 2: be the third.

585
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 3: Which isn't saying much at this point.

586
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh yeah, And I agree, I got to to

587
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: he's in early projections to too. Is my wide receiver

588
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: nineteen so uh high here uh and yeah, totally agree

589
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: on Reynolds as well. I think people just don't really

590
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 2: aren't really noticing that he's that that, you know, one

591
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: of those top receivers for the Lions, and he's kind

592
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: of separated from from all those other guys, Marvin and

593
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: Raymond and Whatnotuh. For me, I'm high on Pooka Nakula.

594
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: First of all, he's still the wide receiver fourteen in ECR.

595
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: I have him wide receiver nine, uh. And I mean

596
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 2: there's a case he should be wide receiver like two.

597
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, this guy is just and we've

598
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 2: and this is you know, it's not just about it

599
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: is about Puka, but it's also about you know, this

600
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: offense and Sean McVay and effort, because we saw Cooper

601
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 2: Cup go from like a very good receiver to a

602
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 2: guy that was like leading the league in catches every year.

603
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: And now Pooka, you know, first week ten catches on

604
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: fifteen targets, second week fifteen catches on twenty targets. That's

605
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup numbers. They're using them just like Cooper Cup.

606
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 2: So you know, we would have Cooper Cup ranked like

607
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: one or two every week. So I think Pooka deserves

608
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 2: to be in the top ten already and potentially even

609
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: higher than that. And I also am high on Zay Flowers.

610
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: He's my wide receiver eighteen. He's a wide receiver thirty

611
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: in ECR. Really like what I've seen out of Zay Flowers,

612
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: who he was always a guy for me. I thought,

613
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: you know, rookie Wise and mad I didn't wasn't Nakua.

614
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: But I do like I did like Flowers as a

615
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 2: guy who I thought, could you know, produce right away.

616
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: He's playing ninety percent of the snaps, he's been targeted

617
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 2: on twenty four percent of his routes, and he's getting

618
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: a carrier to each game. So I really like Zay Flowers.

619
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 2: And Odell Beckham got banged up, so we'll see yea,

620
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: you know he could be her. And but also this

621
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: Baltimore team, you know they're they're gonna they're playing a

622
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: little more wide open on and spread on offense. So

623
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: you know, I know Mark Andrews is back, but I

624
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: don't think that's really gonna affect Flowers. And he's clearly

625
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 2: ahead of Bateman and Aguar and all these other guys

626
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 2: as well. So I really like, really like Flowers. I

627
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: think he's gonna continue to show out.

628
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Puka, I mean I don't have him that high,

629
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 4: but he's gonna be my player prop.

630
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: So we'll dive in on that later.

631
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 4: But just projecting him right now is fascinating because it's

632
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 4: like he almost can't set his production high enough, but

633
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 4: there is a limit and we'll try to get that

634
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 4: in our player prop segment.

635
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: All so, I'm low on T Higgins.

636
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 4: You know, he's my wide receiver thirty two right now,

637
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 4: That's that's where I feel comfortable putting him if Burrow's out.

638
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 4: But you know, the entire Bengals offense takes a massive

639
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: hit if Burrow is out and Jake Browning's under center.

640
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 4: I think Higgins probably takes the biggest hit, and maybe

641
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 4: in like the wide receiver three sits start discussion, Like,

642
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people are going to be

643
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 4: asking should I play him this week? But he you know,

644
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 4: he has a high a US fourteen point one this year,

645
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 4: so I would imagine the Bengals don't want you know,

646
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 4: Browning pushing the ball downfield. They're probably going to figure

647
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 4: out ways to get the ball on Jamar Chase's hands probably,

648
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 4: and then you know, I'm guessing probably target Tyler boyd

649
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 4: Irv Smith underneath a little bit more than Higgins. So

650
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 4: I'm very concerned about Higgins's value this week. Again, he's

651
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 4: my wide receiver thirty two, and Terry mclaorran he's my

652
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 4: wide receiver thirty three bounce back with a with a

653
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 4: pretty solid Week two. He caught bypasses for fifty four

654
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 4: yards in a tuddy, but that all came in Sam

655
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 4: Hill's career best game, throwing for nearly three hundred yards.

656
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 4: We probably can't bank on this offense, you know, throwing

657
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 4: for more than two hundred and fifty yards most weeks.

658
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 4: So when you look at mccorran's underlying usage, it wasn't great.

659
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 4: He's still under an eighty percent routes run rate, so

660
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 4: I have to wonder if he's not one hundred percent

661
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 4: from the toe injury yet. And he only has a

662
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 4: seventy seventeen percent target rate on the season. So I

663
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 4: think you could still argue Johan Dotson might be the

664
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 4: more valuable receiver going forward. It's too early to say,

665
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: but I don't think you know, Terry mclaurran is just

666
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 4: the alpha in this offense as he used to be,

667
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 4: So I'm a little bit lower on him. I still

668
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 4: think he's like a low end wide receiver three. But

669
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 4: you know, temper expectations based on last week's game.

670
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have both of them well outside like not

671
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: even wide receiver threes. Buffalo has been excellent against wide receivers,

672
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 2: the third few with yards through two weeks. So Dotson

673
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: is also a kaya well and like both of them, Lauren,

674
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 2: I have you know outside that that wide receiver three range.

675
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 2: I would prefer, you know, even in twelve teamers to

676
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: go elsewhere, and you know, in what's a tough matchup.

677
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: And still don't think we know enough about how to

678
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: kind of conflict project that he's gonna throw for a

679
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: ton of yards each and every week. So yeah, tough

680
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: tough matchups. We but I agree with mcwaaran too. And

681
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 2: Dotson is, you know, playing more snaps than McLaurin, so yep,

682
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: but mccaarran did have a nasty touchdown catch.

683
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 4: Phenomenal receiver, don't get me twisted. Yeah, but they're both,

684
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 4: they're both lejit.

685
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so hit me with the problem.

686
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 4: Okay, So we're gonna do Pooka Naku's total receptions. Uh,

687
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 4: this is like impossible for me to set.

688
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

689
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 4: I think five and a half would be too low

690
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 4: at this point, and I think six and a half

691
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 4: like might be fair, but that's insane.

692
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna just set it at six on the

693
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 3: dot over.

694
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: I mean he's got fifteen and ten. I mean over

695
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 2: you could have probably gone into like you could have

696
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: kind of been ten and a half before I even

697
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: thought that's fair enough.

698
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 4: I mean, what do you think is probably like six

699
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 4: and a half then maybe six and a half under

700
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 4: minus one thirty something like that.

701
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 2: Yes, potentially up to seven and a half.

702
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 4: I mean it's tough, you know, it's and it is

703
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 4: half to start scheming up to slow him down though,

704
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 4: now yeah, but.

705
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: I mean it's just really you know, when they against

706
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 2: zone defenses, it's like you can only scheme so much. Now,

707
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: if you want to go man coverage, then that could

708
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 2: change things. But you know, the NFL plays majority zone, right,

709
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: and that's why Cooper cup every week, Like you know,

710
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 2: you knew he was getting the ball, just couldn't sow

711
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: him down. So I think is gonna kind of the same.

712
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: His his A dot is it's under ten yards. I

713
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: believe it's like nine point three, So he's getting you

714
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: know those high percentage high percentage looks like to to

715
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 2: he's probably a little more volatile week to week just

716
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 2: because he's going a little more downfield with it. Uh,

717
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean Hooka's Cooper Cup until proven otherwise

718
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: after this point. That's it's a mix of talent and

719
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 2: and uh and being in this offense and and cut

720
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: being out. It'll be interesting when Cup gets back.

721
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 3: That's. Oh, yeah, that's gonna be interesting. Yes.

722
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 4: And does Tyler Higby have any hope right now?

723
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

724
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: I mean he kind of is what he is. You know,

725
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: he'll catch you know, probably three to five balls mostly,

726
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: will we get in the end zone. That's that's that

727
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: That's what will determine his value as a reminder. The

Speaker 4: but I have Travis Kelcey, TJ. Howkinson, Mark Andrews, Evan Ingram,

737

Speaker 4: and Dallas Goddard.

738

739
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, those guys right there.

740
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think Waller, you know, with Saquon out

741
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: and going against like a pretty und I mean, the

742
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 2: only thing is they have good linebackers and safeties. But

743
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: somebody's got a yeah for the Giants. But who are

744
00:34:59,160 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 2: you high.

745
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 4: On, Believe it or not. I'm high on Dalton Schultz.

746
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 4: He's my tight end thirteen. But you know, he bounced

747
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 4: back with a solid week two cut four passes for

748
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 4: thirty four yards.

749
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 3: He saw his.

750
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 4: Routes run rate fall a bit, you know, it's down

751
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 4: to seventy percent, but we'll take a tight end, you know,

752
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 4: averaging around eighty percent routes run rate. But more importantly,

753
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 4: he saw his target rate jump up to eighteen percent,

754
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 4: which is what I had projected for him going into

755
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 4: the season. But the Texans offense itself looks to be

756
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 4: just more pass heavy and fast paced than I think

757
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 4: we anticipated.

758
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 3: So you know, CJ. Stroud almost through for four hundred yards.

759
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 4: I don't know if we could bank on that most

760
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 4: weeks or again the rest of the season, but either way,

761
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 4: I think we do need to bump up the passing

762
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 4: offense in general, and Schultz could benefit from that. So again,

763
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: he's not like a sexy play by all means, but

764
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 4: I think he's back up to that high end tight

765
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 4: end two status.

766
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: Now.

767
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still have him a little lower. I have

768
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 2: him tight in nineteen, so I'm probably more lyne. I

769
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 2: do have for thirty four yards the exact amount he

770
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 2: had last week, but yeah, I'm higher on like the

771
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 2: receivers seem to be getting some love, like, yeah, Robert

772
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 2: Woods even as you know, playing a little better than expected,

773
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: Tank Dell. I love to see it. And and Nika's

774
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 2: balling out too, so.

775
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nico's doing good too.

776
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, I have I have point three points separating

777
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 4: my tight end twelve to my tight end twenty. It

778
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 4: just kind of defines the state of the tight end

779
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 4: two right now.

780
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough. It really is tough. I am high

781
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 2: on Sam Laporta. He's my tight end six. He's in ECR.

782
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 2: Love it, and really it comes down to snaps. You know,

783
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: he's been playing just over eighty percent of the snaps

784
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: and you know that's for a tight end that that's

785
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: excellent and He's caught five balls in each of the

786
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: first two games, sixty three yards last game, thirty nine

787
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 2: yards in week one, so he's averaging, you know, five

788
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 2: catches for just over fifty yards. He hasn't gotten to

789
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 2: the end zone yet. I think that come that will

790
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 2: be coming soon. So yeah, there's not many tight ends

791
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: I see that are more reliable than the Porta, just

792
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: based on his usage. And another guy who kind of

793
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 2: is flying under the radar, zach Ertz, is kind of

794
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 2: just bavying zach Ertz. I know he's coming off the injury,

795
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 2: but they've been using him over eighty percent of the

796
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: past snaps as well, eighty three percent through two weeks.

797
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 2: So he's my tight end number ten. He's a tight

798
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 2: end eighteen in ECR. And this is a game where

799
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 2: you do expect Arizona to get down against the Cowboys

800
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 2: and have to throw it, and you know how tough

801
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: it is to throw on the outside against the Cowboys

802
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 2: with Gilmore and Digs and those guys. So I think

803
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 2: ERTs could have another high volume a week.

804
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

805
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 4: I know, that's been pretty crazy to see because you

806
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 4: know they spent that second round pick on Trey McBride,

807
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 4: last year and at my comp for McBride was like

808
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 4: a lesser version of Dallas Goddard. He does have a

809
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 4: ton of upsides, so it's been kind of weird that

810
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 4: they're just rolling zach Ertz out there is like the

811
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 4: lead tight end. But yeah, I know that too. Like

812
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 4: he's definitely in play, is like a high end tight

813
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 4: end two right now.

814
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I starved him. I think he's end

815
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: because like I see, you know, there's like these like

816
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 2: Friar Moose and and Djoku's and like these guys are

817
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: in offenses that just are like where's like Art is

818
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 2: in a terrible offense, but like he's he's the like

819
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 2: he's the number one guy in this offense.

820
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.

821
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, technically Brown should be the number one,

822
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 2: but just because because of the way volume works, you know,

823
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 2: Brown is doing a little more downfield if he stays healthy,

824
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 2: I would I would say earths them and catches right,

825
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 2: not maybe not yards, but definitely catches right who you.

826
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 4: Oh boy, man, I am low on Gerald Everett. Let

827
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 4: me tell you he's he looked good too, But yeah

828
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 4: he's talented, don't get me wrong, but not playing he

829
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 4: kind of need to be on the field to get

830
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 4: you know, projected receptions in my model. So that's not

831
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 4: good because you know, last season he benefited a ton

832
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 4: from just Kean Ellen and Micha Williams missing a ton

833
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 4: of time, but also Dael Parham was you know, out

834
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 4: for I think like ten plus games. So Parham has

835
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 4: been eating into his role so far, and this week

836
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 4: it was more of a three way committee. Stone's smart

837
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 4: was mixing in more so. Everett only had a thirty

838
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 4: four percent routes run rate. I don't know if that

839
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 4: was injury related. That would make sense if it was,

840
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 4: but I haven't seen anything. So that is very very

841
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 4: bad news for Gerald Everett. There's no way he could

842
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 4: provide tight end to numbers with that kind of usage.

843
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 3: So we'll see.

844
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 4: I think it could bounce back to fifty sixty percent

845
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 4: this week, but either way, you just cannot trust him

846
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 4: right now. There's way better options. Again, if zach Ertz

847
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 4: is available and you're hanging on to Gerald Everett, you know,

848
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 4: drop him immediately. But yeah, like way down on Gerald

849
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 4: Everett this week.

850
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, Parham and him was the three

851
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: percent different in terms of the routes per per dropback

852
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 2: through two weeks, not great, Uh for me. It's Jake Ferguson.

853
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 2: He's still the tight end fifty eight in ECR. And

854
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 2: you know, we had high hopes for him, thought he

855
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 2: was gonna take over that Schultz row. But the Cowboys

856
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: just don't seem to be involving the tight end too

857
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 2: much in their offense. Through two weeks, Ferguson has run

858
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 2: around on fifty percent of the dropbacks, Hendershot thirty three percent,

859
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 2: and Schoonmaker nine percent. So you know, at fifty percent

860
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 2: uh routes run rate, that's he's my tight end thirty

861
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 2: one here. You know, it's just this is the Ceedee

862
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 2: Lamb Show. And if he couldn't really do anything with

863
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: Cooks out last week, and Cooks could still be out,

864
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 2: but uh, you know, it's kind of clear the Cowboys

865
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 2: what they're gonna do. They're gonna get like their guys

866
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 2: turping and and in Tober and those guys involved. I think,

867
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: if you know, if Cooks is missing, that's that's what

868
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 2: it seems like. I was, So, yeah, Ferguson way down

869
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 2: for me.

870
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's a good call. And he bailed people

871
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 4: out with that touchdown. But also on the other side,

872
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 4: like Maaker score a touchdown too, he's starting to see

873
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 4: more playing time. I'd be worried about him potentially just

874
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 4: seeing more playing time going forward because he is a

875
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 4: rookie and he missed a ton of camp with that

876
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 4: foot injury. So this could turn into an ugly three

877
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 4: way committee real fast.

878
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 2: All right, tight end, let's go with Let's go with

879
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 2: Sam laporter because I think that's that's an interesting one,

880
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: you know, for him being is he going to be

881
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: a fringe tight end one or is he going to

882
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 2: be a must start? And I think there's going to

883
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 2: be a debate. I have him as a must start,

884
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 2: So I'm going to put his receiving yardage over under

885
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 2: at thirty nine and a half a half a half

886
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 2: a yard higher than his season low.

887
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 4: I wrote down thirty eight and a half for proof

888
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 4: right there.

889
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 3: Now.

890
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 4: I don't, I do not. I do not want to

891
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 4: be betting against Sam Laporta at any point. So you

892
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 4: know I'm gonna have to go over here.

893
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I should have ready to hire.

894
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 3: You have to know who you're talking to.

895
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that I would have said Kincaid

896
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 4: would probably still outproduce him in fantasy this year, but

897
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 4: at this point it's Sam Laporta is the top rookie

898
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 4: tight end in fantasy absolutely because yeah, kin Kaid's you know,

899
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 4: splitting work with Dawson Knox, and Laporta has just I mean,

900
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 4: the usage is good.

901
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 3: He's looked great.

902
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 4: I knew he was going to be good, but they

903
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 4: they drafted him to catch passes.

904
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 3: He's not blocking.

905
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 4: That's not his thing. So yeah, no, he's looked solid.

906
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 4: I want to continue investing in him. Great line, by

907
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 4: the way, but I'll take the over.

908
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 2: All right, all right, so he got got at least

909
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 2: I got you to take an over a. Yeah, but

910
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 2: not that might be.

911
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 3: Yeah.

912
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see what is he he? Yeah, he's blocked.

913
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 2: He's had eight pass blocking snaps through two weeks five

914
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 2: and week one three last week, so and he's he's

915
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 2: actually graded out very highly as a pathwalker. Oh, run

916
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 2: bock and he's been solid. But yeah, he's had forty

917
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 2: six run blocking STAPs. He's just every down tight end

918
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 2: at this point. It's not yeah, you know, he's just

919
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 2: doing it all so like it, like it. And this

920
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 2: is that time of year where I think you know,

921
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: like some of the like consensus is going to be

922
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 2: down or on the rookies just kind of easing them

923
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 2: into the rankings. So I like, you know, this week,

924
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,600
