1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast. Will we

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: explore some of the big money issues in the world

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: of sports on Michael Barr along with Damien Sassaur and

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: Rich Truman. Which you know what that means. You know,

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: it is the day of fantasy sports. That's the crowd

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: going wild here. Oh man, you know this is first

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: of all, this is a bad week for the buys.

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: This is really bad because you got Buffalo, Los Angeles,

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: the Rams, you have Minnesota out, and you have the

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Eagles out. You've got a lot of big names gone,

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: justin Jefferson gone. I mean, look, you know what's interesting

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: is because of all these teams I'm buy and they

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: have to go picking up people. What you're seeing or

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: guys like, for example, Alexander Madison getting dropped. You're seeing

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, kickers like Joseph getting dropped. You're seeing people

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: who actually are really good at their positions. But I mean,

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: with all these buys, and believe me, these are huge

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: teams that are going to buy, there's nothing else you

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: gotta do. You gotta let him ride. And so look,

20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: you should be keeping an eye on the waiver wire

21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: because if you do have some space on your bench.

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: You might get some you might find some nuggets there

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: and that, And especially I hate those leagues where the

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: bench is so shallow that Rich they gotta drop. These

25
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: guys were leaks. Pretty shallow. Yeah. And actually you mentioned

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: that I had a choice. I need a defense this week,

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: and I have a choice of dropping Madison or Derek Carr.

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna drop Derek Carr because I'm only gonna

29
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: play I have Joe Burrows my quarterback. I'm only gonna

30
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: play Derek Carr for one week, So the upside of

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: Madison is much better. You don't want to be dropping

32
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: the Eagles defense, do you, you know, I mean that's

33
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: a good defense. You know, you gotta hold onto them. So,

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: I mean, these are the questions that that fantasy owners

35
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: need to start, you know, kind of looking at. But

36
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be a

37
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: tough week to kind of generate points. And I mean Rich,

38
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike correct me if I'm wrong. But guys

39
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: like Russ Wilson, Matt Stafford, I mean, I mean they're

40
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: drops now, huh right, drops? I think they are. You

41
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: want Geno Smith over them? Right? I was so confident.

42
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: When I made this trade with Rich, it wound up.

43
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: The key component was Joe Burrow going to Rich because

44
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: at the time I had Russell Wilson. I'm like, not

45
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: a problem, I'm not worried, and oh my goodness, you

46
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: got Aaron Rodgers in return. It has been dismal this year.

47
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean, just look at Damien Metchall before. Just look

48
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: at all the quarterbacks that weren't ranked in the top level,

49
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: but the next level of a Brady Rogers, Russell Wilson,

50
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: Stafford all having read this year, Yeah, yeah, I mean, look,

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: they're they're there. I mean, it's amazing because this was

52
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be the year where you held off on

53
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: quarterback because it was so deep at the position. But

54
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly, I mean reality is is a shock

55
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: to the system. I mean, they're not right. So look,

56
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, just looking ahead to this week,

57
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: you know what what kind of catches my eyes? Just

58
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: how bad things really have we talked about Russell Wilson,

59
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: how bad things have gotten in Denver and now they're

60
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: facing my jettis here, So you know, I mean, I'm

61
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking for you know, potential, not a game

62
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: where you know the running game in Breecee Hall and

63
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just been unbelievable what's going on with

64
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: the Jets. But I mean, what are they doing Melvin Gordon?

65
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean, why is the tapis Murray running the ball?

66
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, what is happening in Denver? They can't get

67
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: the ball to Courtland Sutton. It's it's it's it's unbelievable.

68
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: I guess Ross is really injured. That can we stop

69
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: seeing Denver on primetime television? Their defense has been stout

70
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: this year and then and they're losing games because their

71
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: offense is not score Well, there's a real Thursday night

72
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: game this week. You got New Orleans Arizona. At least

73
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: he got some some fireworks going on. There's a change.

74
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: But I want to talk more about Denver. And I

75
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: always hate because you're always talking about a person's job.

76
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: But I'm sorry, Nathaniel Hackett. He's a brand new rookie coach.

77
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, man, you you've been coaching more like

78
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: Buddy Hackett because this is terrible. I don't know who

79
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: on that team, as you guys have been saying, is

80
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: worth now playing in Fantasy? How long did you play

81
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: that Buddy Hackett joke. I think I saw it's a mad, mad,

82
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: mad mad world a couple of days ago. But you're

83
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: not listen, Let's move off Denver. Nobody's playing any Broncos

84
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: unless you're desperate for like a third wide receiver. So

85
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: let's move on to some of the more potent fantasy.

86
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: Uh person, Well, well then let's do it. Let's look

87
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: at the high scoring game this week is, and if

88
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm reading this correctly, the Seahawks at the Chargers is

89
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: that that's got the highest point. That's what I'm gonna

90
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: make a good transition, because that's where I'm having a

91
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: couple of my value plays to the highest scoring game.

92
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: Like Damien said, I'm gonna go for the combination of

93
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: Gino Smith and Tyler Lockett going to run a quarterback

94
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: drap touchdown. Surprisingly, both teams played very low scoring games

95
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: the prior week. I agree. I think it's gonna be

96
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: a very high scoring game. Tyler Lockett last week two

97
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: catches for seventeen yards, two weeks before that a hundred

98
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: four and ninety one yards. I see the Charges putting

99
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: up a lot of points. I see the Seahawks having

100
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: to play come from behind, So give me the geno

101
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: Smith Tayler, locket Combo as a value play. Well, let's

102
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: talk about the injury to Key injury Marquis Brown. Yeah

103
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: that is huge. Yeah, so what happens guys? What how

104
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: do you fill in for Mark? Well, we should say

105
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: that's Arizona and DeAndre Hopkins is back this week. Bus

106
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: us a touch out, so that will be uh if

107
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: you have you know, he was drafted. I drafted him

108
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: both my leagues. I traded him and one of them.

109
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: So Michael sitch out for that. We're laughing before but

110
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: just before I already is here, before Rich came in here,

111
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: we noticed that Rich has been sitting there with DeAndre

112
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: Hawkins just quietly slatted him right into his roster. I'm like,

113
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: there's no way in hell he gets out of here

114
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: without mentioning DeAndre I did. I traded him in my

115
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: other league, which I kind of regret, but I love

116
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: him coming back though. Man, they need some help out there.

117
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and Kyla Murray is a shell of himself

118
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: without him, So I agree with you. I mean, look,

119
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, I mean if you just want to kind

120
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: of take a step back, I mean the Detroit Lions

121
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: playing at Dallas. You know, I'd like to see Jared Goff.

122
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: I'd like to see a mon rosst Brown. I'd like

123
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: to I mean, that's kind of my and I'll tell

124
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: you this. With two of coming back, it looks like

125
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: two was gonna play this week. Guys like Jalen Waddle,

126
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: you know you gotta move him up your boards again. Also,

127
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: he's been kind of quiet since he went down, so

128
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking at those guys. I mean, I

129
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: wonder what happens to most because most diret has really

130
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: taken on sort of lead back duties in Miami, and

131
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds be not existing. Dam Let's let's not ramble

132
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: to so many games at once. I mentioned Detroit, Detroit Dallas.

133
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: That's my other value play. Ezekiel Elliott goal from the

134
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: one pandof Elliott coming right pushing go on Fings in

135
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: touchdown Elliot. Oh god, really? Thirteen carries eighty one Y

136
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: watched for touchdown last week. I think the Cowboys are

137
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: gonna jump out to a lead. I think you're gonna

138
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: see a lot of Zeke. So it's another value play.

139
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: The two weeks before that, twenty two carries nineteen carries,

140
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: so he was getting the rock, Paul. It's a little

141
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: more effective on the long distance runs. But I can

142
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: see Zeke scoring a touch on the two from the

143
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: short end. So if you're saying that Dallas is going

144
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 1: to get out ahead, that means for the Lions, Sunra

145
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: is looking Mike get quick times. So touched down the chart.

146
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: Lions guess he's supposed to be back and uh playing

147
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: extremely healthy. Uh, keep an eye out for a chart

148
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: because there's a question mark about him also coming back.

149
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: But if he does come back as well, that you're right.

150
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: If Dallas my head, they're gonna be slinging the ball,

151
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: which rings in Jared Golf. And I know people are like, well,

152
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: I saw the game where you know, the Patriots like

153
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: really penned him. Now I think they're gonna bounce back.

154
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: So that that's my prediction of the week, Jared Golf.

155
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: If you really need a quarterback, I mean, you know

156
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: who I kind of like, I guess you know, if

157
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: you want to talk about value, I don't think it's

158
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: really value. But Romandre Stevenson on Monday Night, New England's

159
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: playing Chicago. I mean Chicago's really I mean they have

160
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: a good defense, but they've got no offense. And Bill

161
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Belichick has just been he has been exposing some of

162
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: these defenses. Sorry Jared, Sorry Detroit, but you know, at

163
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: the point is if the New England defense is gonna,

164
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, be playing at that level, I expect him

165
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: to run the ball well. I expect Romandre Stevens in benefit.

166
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: I believe someone in this room drafted him on both

167
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: their leagues or both of his leagues. Sure you and

168
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: if you and DeAndre Hopkins, you know what you talk

169
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: about a quarterback, and I'm sure a lot of people

170
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: are like, who Bailey Zappy for New England And hey,

171
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: if you're desperate, that could be a play. Well. I

172
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: mean the other guy who's really stepped up is Matt

173
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: Ryan in recent weeks, right, he threw the ball over

174
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: fifty times last week. I mean he's finally can getting

175
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: some points on the board. You know, if they can

176
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: block for him and get Jonathan Taylor back, I mean

177
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's possibility as the season progresses. Jimmy G looks good.

178
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's amazing we're talking about quarterbacks like Geno Smith,

179
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: Jimmy G and Matt Ryan. When you've got you know,

180
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: Russ Wilson and all these other guys, Matt Stafford just

181
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: they just don't look great. And Carson Wentz is out

182
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: for a few weeks also, right, So Tyler han Heineken

183
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: right exactly. You see any running backs out there, gentlemen

184
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: that hey, if you have one on the buy this like, hey,

185
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: I need a running back. Help me see anybody? Well,

186
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: I guess it's Kenyan Drake right that that's been the

187
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: big one. That a lot of people and pointing the

188
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: finger out and Latavias Murray up the middle. He's got

189
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: a scene bounces off a tackler in part the touch

190
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: of Lotus Murray. Look, I mean I picked up Latavius

191
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: Murray a few weeks ago because look I got a

192
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: glimmer of what he was doing in New Orleans. He

193
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: looks good, he looks real and look, I mean, you know,

194
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: Denver has got a lot of problems, man, So I

195
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: could see him. I could see him, you know, toting

196
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit more there. The team doesn't score, Damien,

197
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: you could take Lottavius Murray all you want. He's running

198
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: the ball. Well, he's going off at a six yards

199
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: per carry clip I'll take it all the day long.

200
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: I'll take sixty yards and with with an upset for

201
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: one touchdown and maybe a couple of catches out of

202
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: backfield Shore fight RB two. When when my best when

203
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: my best RBS run by Shore went up wide receivers again,

204
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm wiped out. Justin Jefferson going, oh, this is a

205
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: horrible week. Yes, I know the buys are you know

206
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: you have pay attention, but boy, when you got Buffalo,

207
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Minnesota and Philadelphia on the bye, you have

208
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: lost a lot. Well in my other league, I have

209
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: to said Josh Allen Stefan Diggs and Justin Jefferson. Yeah, yeah, Well,

210
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: I mean, guys, who are there, right, I mean, let's

211
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: talk about Tyler Boyd probably is there, Allen Robinson might

212
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: be there. Who's the other guy, Alex Pierce might be there? Um,

213
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds. I mean, not great options, but those are

214
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: the best thing. Just picked up Alec Pierce. He gets

215
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: a lot of targets at throws down the near sign

216
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: line looking for Alec Pierce touch down. Touch Downleck Pierce touchdown.

217
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: You got that last minute touchdown which helped ye. I

218
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: would have told you last week which I got knocked

219
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: out by the way them. Yeah he went against y. Yeah.

220
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: Well heck the Jets going in Lamboo Field, and I'm thinking, hey,

221
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: this is gonna be good. You got the pack is

222
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna take care of business coming off a loss. Also,

223
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, giants of you. I'm like, come

224
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: the heck on, and then I mean and and the Jets.

225
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: And I gotta give it up for the Jets. They

226
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: didn't just win, they beat him. Handing ten counter hand off,

227
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: goes pretty sad at the thirty right side touchdown, a

228
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: little counter inside hand off to priest Hall. We'll find

229
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: some Jet fans in the crowd. And does a Jet

230
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: sland be league? My goodness, I'm like, and I'm looking

231
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: at them like, well, I'm I'm done, And well, how

232
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: many teams are off? You said there were two hundred

233
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: deproximate teams and the guys in that league in the

234
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: suicide pool, So how many are left after the last week,

235
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: well before the green Bay has asked that they were thirty.

236
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: I was one of the thirties. So now about eleven

237
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: got knocked out, so we're down to like nineteen and

238
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking on the outside. Hello, because they're by the way.

239
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: There were a lot of people by the way on

240
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: the Chargers and I'm thinking, like, you guys are gonna lose.

241
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: And then boy and on the last minute the field

242
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: goal isn't that? So that's why they're more well, I mean, look,

243
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: we're in what week seven, so this is the time

244
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: of the year. Now, we're about halfway through, you know,

245
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: the fantasy season where you could really get a sense

246
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: of which defense are The defenses are good, right, which

247
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: which are good? And if you look at the divisions

248
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: which have surprised the upside, the NFC East in the

249
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: AFC East, there's some good defenses in both those divisions,

250
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: the Jets being one of them, right, and let's not

251
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: shake a stick at it. They looked really good. And

252
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: the ones that I think people thought were going to

253
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: be high scores the NFC West, I'm thinking about the

254
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: a f C West. Their defenses are Swiss cheese, you know.

255
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: So you know, it just tells a little something about

256
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, watching the maturation of these defenses as the

257
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: season progresses, and that kind of tells you everything you

258
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: need to know about your matchups. Before we put a

259
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: bowl on this, I have to ask about Robby Anderson

260
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: because he had to melt down the next day the

261
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: Antonio Brownish. Yeah, I'm like, what happened? And it's like,

262
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: is he uh, if you are really really looking for

263
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: a wide out, is he a pick up? I mean yeah,

264
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: he might be right at me. Rondell more back plane first,

265
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: back right. I mean they still be g green. They

266
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: have a lot of mounts and throws the arts all

267
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah. I don't know if you pick them

268
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: up necessarily here, but I mean, look, it's Robbie Anderson.

269
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: You know, he's in a new you know, new digs

270
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: do new things to people, right, It's got to learn

271
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 1: it first, So you know, maybe stash him away, you know,

272
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: you know we should do next week. We'll still be

273
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: a tease. I'm just coming up with. Now they'll be

274
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: week eight this season. How would the first round look

275
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: if we were drafting today? You know one that we

276
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: should do that one day, do a redraft next week?
