19
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: coming on again. Oh man, I appreciate it, and like

20
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: I said, anytime you guys need me, I'm available. James.

21
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: This NFL season has been a blast, but it's sure

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: he's humbling when players like Marvin Jones and Stefon Diggs

23
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: are proven me wrong. Well, I you know, I'm surprised

24
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: that folks weren't on the whole. Look, Marvin Jones's draft

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: price was skyrocketting the closer we got to kick off,

26
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, I was obviously extremely high on him.

27
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean even I think I think about four months

28
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: ago as soon as he signed there, and I just

29
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,639
Speaker 1: looked at the target share that he was walking into.

30
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I knew the talent level was there, I

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: knew he fit a role, and I knew he was

32
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: going to get the opportunities. It just it made too

33
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: much sense to me. Yeah, I remember you saying that,

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: and I was buying into it. But I just thought

35
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: he's going too high in his ADPs and I'm not

36
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: sure I can afford that. I don't know if it

37
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: makes sense to me, But man, I was wrong. Well,

38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, sometimes you gotta throw adp

39
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: out the window for guys that you like, you know

40
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: what I mean. So, and Marvin Jones was one of

41
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: those guys for me, I know I was reaching for

42
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: him in Round six, but you know, and I have him.

43
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: I have like seven teams and I have him on

44
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: every single team that man, and I love it. Well.

45
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: Injuries have been making me look bad too. We just

46
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: found out another one today with Dez Bryant having hairne

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: fracturing his knee. They're saying one to three weeks, but

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we know how these things can end up, right.

49
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: What's your take, James, Well, you know, I love the

50
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: coach speak of like, well, he's day to day. It's

51
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: like Adrian Peterson blew out his knee. Well he's day

52
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: to day. Look, I mean if you if you're saying that,

53
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: then I guess in a way, we're all day to day. Yes,

54
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: But I mean, come on, it's just it's ridiculous. There's

55
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: there's no way he's playing this week. And given his

56
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: history of injuries, why would you truck this guy out

57
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: even in three weeks. I don't get it. He is.

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: I thought he came back way too soon with that

59
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: with that foot fracture, and he kind of limped through

60
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: all of last season. I get the Dak Prescott is

61
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. But to bring him. But to bring

62
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: Dez along sooner than need be, and keep in mind

63
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: they did sign him to a pretty fat contract. Yeah,

64
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of

65
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: sense to me. I would just like to see him

66
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: sit out six to seven weeks, see where the Dallas

67
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys are at at that point, and if they're out

68
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: of it, forget it, sit him for the rest of

69
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: the year, bring them back fully healthy. Um. I really

70
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: hope Dez doesn't come back too soon. It's one of

71
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: these things that it just sounds like these are injuries

72
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: that are compounding on top of each other. So basically

73
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: he's day to day or his career might be over, right.

74
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't think his career is now. Look, the thing

75
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: the thing about Dez is that he is such a

76
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: tough guy. And I get it that he had a

77
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: foot fracture. Now he's got a hairline fracture in his knee,

78
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: but man, I mean we saw it. First of all,

79
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: he fractured the knee in the first quarter. The dude

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: came back and caught a touchdown. Has it been amazing?

81
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: It is so crazy, it's insane. So no, his career

82
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: is not over. He'll be good to go, and like

83
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: I said, I'd love to see him sit out about

84
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: six to eight and really get healthy. All right, let's

85
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: dive into our week four rankings, and what we're gonna

86
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: do is I see, we're gonna see where James is

87
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: compared to our expert consensus rankings. That's the combined rankings

88
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: from one hundred and thirty nine experts for a week

89
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: four We have rankings. No, you don't have rankings that here.

90
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: I was. I was looking for him because I really

91
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: like to see you know what you think that you

92
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: were right on so many things this preseason. But it's

93
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: not too late to jump in anyway. We have one

94
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine experts for week four. You can

95
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: follow along by point it open. Just go to our homepage,

96

Speaker 1: click on the week four rankings just under the yellow

97
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy Tools banner and you can see where it stacks up.

98
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: So we're gonna start out the quarterback position and our

99
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: expert consensus rankings. You know, it shows guys like Joe Flacco,

100
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: who's usually around seventeen eighteen all the way up at eleven.

101
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: So James, who's a guy that's kind of on the

102
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: Cusp this week of starters sit that you really like,

103
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: you know, I love the fact that you brought up

104
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. I think Oakland is really playing, or at

105
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: least from what I saw in Week three, they're playing

106
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: a little bit better. I know they've you know, Khalil

107
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: Mack has been you know, pretty much a non factor

108
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: on the defense. I just kind of think that's gonna change.

109
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: I know, Joe Flacco is still a very strong player.

110
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: There's no team that's given up more passing yards at

111
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: least at least from what I understand, than Oakland, and

112
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: that may have changed after the Monday Night game, but

113
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: going before the Monday Night game, no team had given

114
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: up more you know, passing yards than Oakland, and they

115
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: just looked abysmal in the secondary. But I think Joe

116
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: Flacco is, at least on paper, a very strong play.

117
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: I know, Dak Prescott just lost Dez Bryant, but just

118
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: considering the pace of play there against San Francisco, I

119
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: think San Francisco is still gonna be able to put

120
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: up some points. Dallas's defense is not great. I know,

121
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: at least on paper, they they've shown to be better

122
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: than they look like. But I still think personnel wise,

123
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: I think they're a little bit below average. San Francisco

124
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: is gonna put up some points, and I think Dak

125
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: Prescott and that Dallas offenses are going to have to

126
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: match score for score. So I think Dak Prescott at

127
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: number fifteen here at San Francisco, I think he's still

128
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: a pretty strong play. I know Eli Mannings got you know,

129
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: some name value, but I mean we're at the point

130
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: in the season now and even going back into last season,

131
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: where if you're playing anybody against Minnesota, I just don't

132
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: know you can do it, really honestly. I mean even

133
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: Cam Newton was stifled considerably against Minnesota, and we're talking

134
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: about one of the most consistent, one of the best

135
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: fantasy producers at the quarterback position. I like Eli Manning.

136
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: I came into the season saying he's a lot to

137
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: be a top ten guy. I still believe that. I

138
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: think he's gonna still push as a number five or

139
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: six fantasy quarterback to finish the season given the NFC East.

140
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: But I just think this week, I just don't think

141
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: you can play him on the road against Minnesota. I

142
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: already mentioned Flacco, but for me, there's two other guys

143
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: that really stand out Kirk Cousins at home against Cleveland. Look,

144
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: I know Kurt Cousins hasn't been great, but you know,

145
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: he does have some weapons, and he's at home. I

146
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: think definitely, I think it's a strong play, a top

147
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: ten play, And I think a lot of people are

148
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: probably gonna be scared off by starting, but don't hesitate

149
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: this week. It's it's the best matchup he can have

150
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: all season. I would totally one hundred percent agree with.

151
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: I do think though, that there is one trap game

152
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: out there, and I think it's Blake Bortles against Indianapolis.

153
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: A lot of folks drafted Blake Bortles to be there

154
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: every week starter. He looks awful. I mean, the bottom

155
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: line is, Blake Bortles looks horrendous. And I know Indianapolis's

156
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: defense is all kinds of banged up, but you know, again,

157
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: just look, they're gonna they're playing you know, overseas or

158
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. They're playing at some at a

159
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: crazy weird time. I just think it's gonna get off

160
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: to a slow start, you know. I think they're gonna

161
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: try to lean on the run game and the defense.

162
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: I just Blake Bortles is the top ten ranked quarterback

163
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: going into Week four. I just don't buy it. I

164
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: just think he's and I know the paper matchup looks good,

165
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: but I just cannot get around the fact of real

166
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: life football of the fact that Blake Bortles looks terrible. Yea,

167
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: and he really does, and I just can't buy in. Now,

168
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: one player that hasn't looked terrible is Matt Ryan. And yeah,

169
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: he's going up against Carolina's defense, but their secondary he's

170
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: not very impressive this year. And I get it they

171
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: have a really good pass rush, but whose offensive line

172
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: besides the Cowboys is better than the Falcons. I think

173
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: they'll be able to protect Matt Ryan, and I think

174
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: he'll have a surprisingly big game at home against Carolina. Well,

175
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: I tell you what, it's a great against the grain

176
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: DFS play if you want to go there. I know

177
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: that Matt Ryan should be had at a relatively good

178
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: decent value at the quarterback position, so I don't hate it.

179
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: I also think Trevor Simeon, who's down here, you know

180
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: in the you know, quarterback low end, quarterback two range.

181
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm i in that one too, you know, at Tampa

182
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: Bay what I've noticed on the Tampa Bay's defense is

183
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: that they want to try and basically stop the run,

184
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: and they're asking teams to kind of beat them through

185
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: the air, and teams have been obliging. So I don't.

186
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm from what I saw last week, and

187
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: even from week one, you know, people were saying, well,

188
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon, you know, he's not that great. I get it,

189
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: he's not, but his pocket presence, to me, has been

190
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. I really like the fact that he's able

191
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: to kind of dance around in there and still fire

192
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: short and intermediate range throws. He's not a great deep

193
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: ball thrower. I think we all understand that, but this

194
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: offense is geared for short and intermediate throws anyways, and

195
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: I think that's why Trevorsuman got the start and against

196
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. I'm not scared, man. I think he's gonna vastly.

197
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: I think he will be pushing top twelve production at

198
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: the position. James, let's jump over to running back right now.

199
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at these rankings and with all the

200
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: injuries that we have in some of these matchups this week,

201
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: it just makes me want to vomit. If not, if

202
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: I don't have a top twenty guy like I don't

203
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: want to play anyone. I think Melvin Gordon versus New

204
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: Orleans is an incredibly strong play. I think, look, I

205
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: really truly, honestly believe. I think Zekelly, it's going to

206
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: be your RB one in Week four against San Francisco.

207
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: They have a pension to be able to stop the run.

208
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: I think Zeke is starting to figure out the pace

209
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: of the game, speed of the defense. To me, in

210
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: week one, he was just trying to gain positive yards.

211
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: Whatever it was is just bill get positive yards and

212
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't like, hey, go look for the game breakers.

213
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: I feel like he's starting to start looking for those

214
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: game breakers now. And that's what we saw at Ohio State.

215
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: His patience and burst through the hole was special, and

216
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: I think we saw that in the preseason game against Seattle.

217
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: We haven't seen we didn't see in the first couple

218
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: of weeks. We started seeing a little bit more of

219
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: that in a week three. I think here in Week

220
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: four against San Francisco. Against Fan Francisco's not great and

221
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: they run so many plays. It just it's gonna give

222
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: Zeke more opportunities and clearly, good lord, he got such

223
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: a huge workshare in week three. Clearly the coaching staff

224
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: is comfortable giving him the rock thirty times. If I really, truly,

225
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: honestly believe he's going to be the number one overall

226
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: running back in week four with you, I have him

227
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: number one running back rest of the season, over even

228
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: over lady on Bell and all these guys who have

229
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: got off to better starts than is eqil Ellie. I

230
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: trust him. I trust his talent, I trust that offensive line,

231
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: I trust the schedule. Here's so many things going for him.

232
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: We talk about We talked about love Bell very quickly,

233
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: and I've been getting a lot of questions. Should I

234
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: start love Bell? Obviously? Look, obviously you're going to start

235
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: love Bell. First of all, Pittsburgh at Home for whatever reason,

236
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: whatever real or trend read I hate trends, but whatever

237
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: real reason, you have, real football reasons. Pittsburgh at home

238
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: is so much better than they are on the boat.

239
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know why that is, but it's true.

240
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: I think love Bell is a strong play. Now that

241
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: being said, look, I know he's the starter. What is

242
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous to assume that he's gonna get you know,

243
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty touches. I like. I see that

244
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: he's ranked number two overall in Fantasy pros this week

245
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: and week four. I just don't. I don't know, Like

246
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: for me, doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I

247
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: guess from a logical standpoint. Although Mike Tomlin has you know,

248
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: obviously leaned upon his running backs very very headly. Well,

249
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't get how you just cast aside D'Angelo Williams

250
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: and just say forget it and we're just going to

251
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: give left Bell the ball thirty times. I just don't

252
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: understand that. So I think he I think he'll be

253
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: a strong but I think he's fine. You have to

254
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: start him, there's no question. But is he a top

255
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: two running back this week? I don't buy it. That's

256
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: nuts to me. Yeah, it really is crazy. Mike Tomlin's

257
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: on the record saying we're going to see a lot

258
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: of him this week. But does a lot of them

259
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: mean like more than zero or does it like a

260
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: full slate? Right? So moving on down the list. One

261
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: guy that I am fond of this week. We saw

262
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson a little bit last week start to really

263
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: show why he was being drafted early. He had ten

264
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: carries for sixty nine yards. He's got a nice matchup

265
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: against Washington, and he's right thirty one right now. He's

266
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: a guy that I would not hesitate to start. Um,

267
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, gosh, it's so interesting hearing that you're so

268
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, gung ho. I agree. Look, look, I agree

269
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: you play him. But to say no hesitation, that's tough.

270
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean only because crow Well has gotten so much

271
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,599
Speaker 1: work that it's hard for me to see a scenario

272
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: where Duke Johnson is just out there getting a guarantee

273
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: twenty looks he is. Look, he's a talented player, and

274
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: that's clear. But the team also just, I don't know,

275
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, they love Isaiah Crowell. Look, I'm a

276
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: person that has been a crow Well fan since day one,

277
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: and even when they had Terence West as a third

278
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: round pick. I looked at the tape on Terence West.

279
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: I looked at the tape at Isaiah Crowell, and I said,

280
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: there is no possible way crow Well is going to

281
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: sit behind Terence West. There's just no possible way, just watching,

282
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: just looking at the tape and looking at the mentroables.

283
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: So I like crow Well. I've been on Isaiah Crowell's

284
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: bandwagon for a while. That being said, I mean, it

285
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: really should be more like a fifty fifty split, but man,

286
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: they are really favoring the crow So I don't know. Man,

287
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm just it's hard. Like I hope Duke Johnson does

288
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: well and I think he will absolutely outperform his thirty

289
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: one rank, but I guess I'm just not as confident. No,

290
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: I totally get that. And with Proel to me, he

291
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: just reminds me a lot of Mike Wallace in the

292
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: way that he has all those big plays. But you know,

293
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: if you look at everything outside of those couple big plays, Yeah,

294
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm just not very impressed. I'm not seeing it. I

295
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: hear you. No, I in Cleveland's offense is a mess anyways,

296
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I get it. Another guy, I want

297
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: to talk about Jamal Charles. What's going on with him

298
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: this week? Is he startable in Fantasy Spencer wear? With

299
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: Charles coming back, what do you do with these guys? Um? Yeah,

300
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: I think you start him again. Not with great confidence,

301
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: but you definitely definitely start him. He's been running with

302
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: the practice team or scout team, I guess is what

303
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: they've been saying for the past few weeks. But Andy

304
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: Reid is indicated that you know, j C should be

305
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: ready to go here in week four. The thing about

306
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: the thing about Jamal Charles is that he's a veteran, right,

307
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: and so like, how much practice reps does he really need? Um,

308
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's And he's also not a guy.

309
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: First of all, he's a guy that's been incredibly productive

310
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: on limited touches. Right, So even if he only gets

311
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen touches in the ball game, first of all,

312
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: that's not even really like that far off from what

313
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: he normally gets. Right, So he's been super productive with

314
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: limited touches. And I see that being the case again

315
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: here in week four. Um, can I throw one out there?

316
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: Let's do it theo riddick. I know that Dwayne Washington

317
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: was far more productive against Green Bay and is obviously

318
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: an athletic freak. For those of you who don't know

319
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: about Dwayne Washington, just look at his measurables. He is

320
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: an absolute freak. It's brightening, isn't it. It's he's huge

321
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: and he's fast. But that being said, I think his

322
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: knowledge of the playbook is extremely limited. The type of

323
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: plays that he was running off tackle, whatever it might be.

324
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: I just you know, I think he's limited in what

325
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: he in the plays that he can run. Jim bok

326
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: Cooter wants to throw the ball a lot. If that's

327
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: the case, THEO Ridick is the guy. Chicago is an

328
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: extremely good matchup with THEO Ridic And I just don't

329
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: I think THEO Ritic. I know he had a disappointing

330
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: Week three. I think in Week four, I think he

331
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: really comes back in a big time way. I really

332
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,239
Speaker 1: really like THEO Ritic this week. I think he's going

333
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: to be a top fifteen guy. I think he'll be

334
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: pushing for the top ten. That's pushing it. That is

335
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: pushing it. But I do like Riddick this week a lot.

336
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at it. He's gonna get ten carries.

337
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: That's what's been happening since Himerabdulla got hurt, and he's

338
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: already got sixteen receptions on the season. As far as

339
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm concerned, THEO Ritic might be the safest mid range

340
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: play at running back this week. You know, these guys

341
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: they could boom. He could boom and be a top

342
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: five guy even but that seems a little risky to me. Man,

343
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: let's pushing off. I agree, Like I said, he's a

344
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: top fifteen guy, I think for sure. I just think

345
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: it's like you said, like these matchups don't like, they

346
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: don't excite me. Man, Like Todd Gurley against Arizona, No,

347
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: thank you. David Johnson against LA that's a good matchup.

348
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: It's just again, I think we kind of have to

349
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: cap what he can do. Yeah, CJ. Anderson against Tampa Bay. Again.

350
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: I know Tampa Bay has given up points, but they're

351
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: dedicated to stop in the run. Look, there's I can

352
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: talk myself off of a lot of these guys. I

353
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: just but when I look at Theo Riddick and his

354
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: skill set against Chicago, I just I find it. I'm

355
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: finding it hard to convince myself that he's not gonna

356
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: get fifteen to twenty touches a game, Laura, in this

357
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: game a week four. All right, James, let's jump over

358
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: to wide receiver now. And I'm liking what I see

359
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: a lot better here. There's a lot of sneaky plays

360
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: that you could plug in late. And then some of

361
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: the top end guys also have some nice matchups. I

362
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: want to start with jameson Crowder. I already mentioned him

363
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier. He's a reception hog. He's going

364
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: up against Cleveland James. How do you like him this week? Yeah,

365
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's interesting. I'm surprised by how many

366
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: targets that he's getting there in Washington, considering they have

367
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: some really reliable guys. Pierre Garzone has absolutely fallen off.

368
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: It's DeShawn Jackson, Jordan Reed, and then James von Growder.

369
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: So I'm surprised. Yeah, you know, it's hard to trust

370
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: a guy who's never really done it, and I know

371
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: that he's been getting a lot of looks, at least

372
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: in the early part of the season, but gosh, it's

373
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: just it's hard for me to trust and undersized speed guy,

374
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: especially when they already have an undersized speed guy who's

375
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: better than him, and DeShawn Jackson and Jordan Reed too.

376
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm surprised by how little they've looked to him. So

377
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: do I feel like a change in the offense is

378
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: coming at some point? But I could be wrong. I

379
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm basing that off of totally, not off

380
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: the numbers, but just off of like common sense and

381
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: like how the offense was run last year. Yeah, he's

382
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: he is a superb rout runner. I mean, there's a

383
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: reason he's getting all these targets. But you're right, it

384
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: is hard to trust him when like him. Who's someone

385
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: in that range that you trust this week, in that

386
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: thirties to forty range. Yeah, gosh. I actually wrote about

387
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: Tarelle Pryor and told people not to pick him up,

388
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: and I apologize profusely for that. But here's the thing.

389
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: Before last week, he had a thirty percent catch rate

390
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: on the season and a thirty five percent catch rate

391
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: for his career. So he is to me, the skill

392
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: set wasn't there. I know, he's an athletic freak. And

393
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: that's what we saw is this guy is Cordell. He

394
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: looked like Cordell Stewart out there. I really like what

395
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: I've been seeing there. Devonte Parker to me is very

396
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: interesting too. Again, on the road against Cincinnati on a

397
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: Thursday night, you're kind of thinking, okay, well, there could

398
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: be a little bit of trouble there. But you know,

399
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: ever since he's gotten healthy, Devonte Parker has been an

400
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: unbelievably reliable wide receiver. And I know that. You know,

401
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: he's not a big name and I know everyone thinks

402
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: Miami's offense is a disaster, which it is, but that

403
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: being said, you just can't ignore the skill set, and

404
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: you can't ignore the opportunities, and quite frankly, you just

405
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: can't ignore the fantasy production. So I know it's not

406
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: a great matchup in the jungle there, but I don't know.

407
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: He's been so unbelievably consistent that it's hard for me

408
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: not this to If he's a flex player for you,

409
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: I just throw him out there and see what happened.

410
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: I went to another guy for me, Steve Smith going

411
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: against Oakland. Already mentioned Joe Flacco. They're gonna be throwing

412
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: the ball a lot. Steve Smith is gonna get those

413
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: those targets in. That's exactly what I'm looking for in

414
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: a flex player. I think whether it's he's so angry.

415
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: There was so much trash talk at the end of

416
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: at the end of Baltimore's last game, He's so he's

417
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: so angry, it was that's not a guy you want

418
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: to get angry either. One more wide receiver that I'm

419
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: really fond of this week is Kevin White, and I

420
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: feel like I'm talking about him every week. But if

421
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: you look at him. He's number fifteen in the NFL

422
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: in targets. He's getting a lot of looks. He's getting

423
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: more looks than Alshon Jeffrey, we know he has a

424
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: great athletic profile, and look, he's got to find himself

425
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. He's new to the league. This is

426
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: his rookie year. But it's a good matchup at home

427
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: against Detroit. Brian Hoyer is not a bad quarterback, and

428
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: I just think seeing him all the way down at

429
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: fifty one, that is way too low for me. I

430
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: would agree with parts of what you're saying. Brian Hoyer

431
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: is a bad quarterback, but for fantasy purposes, he's not

432
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: a bad quarterback. I know. I know a lot of

433
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: people are. We're worried about when Jay Caller went down

434
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: about oh Brian Brian Hoyer again, not a good real

435
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: life quarterback, that is true, but for fantasy purposes it

436
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. He feeds guys like Targets repeatedly. He is

437
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: not a hey, let me spread it around type of guy.

438
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: That's not Brian Lawyer. I gotta think Alsh Jeffrey was

439
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: dealing with an injury, you know, and that was kind

440
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: of a reason why I don't know. They were trying

441
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: to move them around a little bit on the field.

442
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: But you know you're right, Ryan Hoyer locked in on

443
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: Kevin White and just force fed him balls. Were they accurate? No?

444
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: Were they good targets? No, But it doesn't matter for

445
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: the purposes of fantasy. He was getting the targets. And

446
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: I have hundred percent agree with you. Seeing Kevin White

447
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: in the fifties to me makes no say. But when

448
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: you put Kevin White in the fifties, you're saying he's

449
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: not playable. That doesn't make sense to me. Even if

450
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: you were in a three wide receiver league, you're almost

451
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: saying he's not even a flex play almost. That's insane. No,

452
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: He've got Victor Cruz and Tavon Austin above him in

453
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: the rankings. That is nuts. Yeah, that's nuts. Come on, dude, No,

454
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: that's that's insanity. That is just I mean, Mike Wallace

455
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: is thirty foot No, I want no part of that. Nope,

456
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: I want no part of that at all. I mean,

457
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: Taj Sharp is a good player, but at Houston, Nope,

458
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: want I don't want a piece of that. Quincy and

459
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: Noon wall has been nice and everything, but at our

460
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: versus Seattle. No. Thanks, Yeah, it's like I mean, yeah,

461
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: so its just I mean, come on, you know, like

462
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: give me, give me some Kevin White chairs against Detroit.

463
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna it feels like it can be a high

464
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: scoring game, or at least the game that's gonna push

465
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: into the high twenties. Yeah. Man, Kevin White's gonna see

466
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: anywhere between you know, like seven to twelve targets. It's

467
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: given that target share against Detroit, it's almost impossible that

468
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: he's not a top forty wide receiver, if not a

469
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: top twenty wide receiver if he gets into the end zone. Yep, yep,

470
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: you're exactly right. You talked about Mike Wallace. And I

471
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: just want to say how crazy this thirty four ranking is.

472
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's not as talented. He's a talented

473
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: wider's here, but he's not as talented as Brichard Perriman.

474
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: And Perriman is getting just as many snaps and he's

475
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: ranked eighty two. It's just because of these touchdowns in

476
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: the first couple weeks, and it doesn't make that much

477
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: of a difference. It's going to regress and Haraman is

478
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: going to get more and more snaps. It's just crazy

479
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: too me. Yeah, you know, if you the thing about

480
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: what I consider when I consider a guy quote unquote

481
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: strong player whatever, I for almost every player, I almost

482
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: ignore touchdowns. I mean, there's certain guys like Eric Decker

483
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: who get like a ridiculous amount of shares in the

484
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: red zone. But other than those guys, you know what

485
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, when it comes to wide receivers, it's

486
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: just like, let me think about their offense and then

487
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: their target share and basically what does that mean, Like

488
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: high quality opportunities. That's basically what I'm looking at right, Like,

489
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: I don't even care how many touchdowns they've scored. Really,

490
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: and it's to your point, like, Okay, Mike Wallace sports

491
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: some touchdowns, but to us to basically assume that that's

492
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: the case moving forward, I think is not the right way.

493
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: And that's not the way I kind of look at

494
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers anyway. Touchdowns hardly correlate with future projections. It's just,

495
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's an amateur to imagine that it will.

496
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: I agree, James. Let's jump over to the listener mail bag.

497
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: I've got two questions from you, and then our next

498
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: guest we're gonna have some more questions for the listener mailbag.

499
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: First question comes from James in Idaho, and he wants

500
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: to know should I sell high on Blount, Marvin Jones

501
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: and Doors to find digs or are they are they

502
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: breakouts legitimate? First of all, it is amazing that you

503
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: have these three breakout guys in your team. Well done, Yeah,

504
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: well done, dude. Seriously, that's that's a pretty solid, pretty

505
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: solid back end of your roster. There's no question. I mean,

506
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: unless that's the top end of your roster, then your

507
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: team probably sucks. But but no, look, sell high on Blunt.

508
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: There's no question. Once Tom Brady comes back, he's gonna

509
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna fall by the wayside. It's a you know,

510
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: it's a pass heavy offense. Tom Brady doesn't really favor

511
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: la Garrett Blunt. They've been leaning on him exclusively because

512
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: they've had new quarterbacks to roll out and they're trying

513
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: to protect them some, which makes a lot of sense.

514
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: But I think once Tom Brady comes back, I don't

515
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't see Lagarrett Blunt. I mean, he's a matt

516
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: He'll be a matchup based flex play at best, but

517
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: he will not I repeat, he will not be a

518
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: top Well what is he right now? At top two

519
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: running back in the league? Like, No, that's not Lagarrett

520
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: blunt Man, So sell high on him. Marvin Jones is

521
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. I mean, what can I say? Look, Mark,

522
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: I love Marvin Jones, So no, I wouldn't sell high

523
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: on him. I think he's gonna I think he'll finish

524
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: the year as a top ten wide receiver. You want

525
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: to say, if you can sell Marvin Jones as as

526
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: a top ten wide receiver, then yeah, okay, that's fine.

527
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: You know, I don't mind selling off the potential if

528
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: you're getting that value back, Okay, that's fine. In terms

529
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: of Stefan Diggs, I really like him. I think he's

530
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: a very talented player. I was super high on him

531
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: coming out of Maryland. I know some of my colleagues

532
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: were not being said. I think last year Diggs was

533
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: not being utilized correctly. I think this year they're they're

534
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: moving him around a hell of a lot more, and

535
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: they're moving him around the formation, which is wonderful, which

536
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: is great, and I think that suits his skill set.

537
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: He's not the kind of guy that's going to always

538
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: beat you on the outside. That's just not his game.

539
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: But he's a great possession receiver, and I just and

540
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: I love the overall skill set, and I love the

541
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: way they're utilizing him in the offense. It's just the

542
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: quarterback place scares they'll live in. But Jesus adem me right.

543
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: So Diggs is a tough guy to sell. And if

544
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: you have him, if you can get a good part

545
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: back to maybe fill a roster hole, all right, do it.

546
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know if you're going to

547
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: get that guy, so I would shop him. See what

548
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: you can get, and if you can get good value,

549
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: do it. But overall, I like what he's doing in

550
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: the offense. Those are probably three of the top sell

551
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: high guys in the league. But I want to talk

552
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: about some of the buy low candidates. I already talked

553
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: about Kevin White. He's a major by low right now.

554
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to buy him in every league. I don't

555
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: own him, but I drafted him in a lot of leagues,

556
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: so that's not many leagues. Who's another by loo Candit

557
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: you like James Oh gosh, it's interesting, you know, like

558
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: somebody like Tyler to Lockett, I know has not been

559
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: doing great, and I don't know what kind of I

560
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of targets share he's gonna have

561
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: moving forward, but I know the talent is legit, and

562
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: the offense last year absolutely exploded as well in the

563
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 1: back half of the season, so I wouldn't be surprised

564
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: if we see something similar to that this year as well.

565
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's somebody that I would definitely target as

566
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: a buy low candidate. I'm buy low and Jordan red.

567
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: But Jordan Reid hasn't been in the end zone yet.

568
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: He's got one hundred and ninety yards sixteen receptions. He's

569
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: the same player he was last year. It's like we

570
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: talked about with touchdown regression. He's going to regress in

571
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: a positive way. He's gonna start picking up these touchdowns

572
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: and I like him a lot the rest of the season.

573
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: I can buy low on him right now. Yeah, that's

574
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 1: a great call. That's an absolute great call. And I

575
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: know somebody's probably not feeling too great about Jordan read either,

576
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: especially considering that he's not really a name, you know,

577
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: like people in fantasy at all. But it's not like

578
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: he's a name, all right, James, Well, that's all the

579
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: questions we have for you today. I really appreciate you

00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: you guys are listening and you want to send questions

606
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: to the listener mailbag, you can email me Bobby at

607
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros dot com or tweet me at Bobby Fantasy pro.

608
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: All right, the first question comes us from George in Tennessee,

609
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: and he wants to know he has Jimmy Graham, Dennis Pitta,

610
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: and Eric Ebron at tight end. Who should he start

611
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: this week? That is a good question. That's tough. You know,

612
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: m Graham has that pedigree, but he's probably the least

613
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: appealing choice to me. I know that, you know, people

614
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: associate a lot of value with that name brand, But

615
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: I do worry about his health. I worry about him

616
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: staying healthy coming back from that injury. And Russell Wilson's

617
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: injury has to be a concern as well, So he's

618
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: out for me. It comes down to Pitter Ebron, and

619
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think Pitt is the choice for me.

620
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: I feel like he's a more stable source of production.

621
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: He's going to have a more predictable target share going forward.

622
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: So he's the guy I target, which is kind of

623
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: insane considering where we were at at the beginning of

624
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: the season on all three of these guys. Yeah, Greg,

625
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: I agree with you. It's definitely Pitta this week. He's

626
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: number five in our ECAR and we've got Ebron down

627
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: at number seven. We have Jimmy Graham all the way

628
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: down at number twelve. The question I have for you, George,

629
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: why in the world are you carrying three tight ends

630
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: on your roster. I mean, I understand these are all

631
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: players that probably should be owned in every league. Maybe

632
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: not Graham. He did have the one nice week. There's

633
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: some upside there, so I can understand owning him. But

634
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: I would definitely cut down to one if I were you.

635
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: I can understand if someone wants to carry two because

636
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: I've got someone like Pitta Andy Bron, who were both

637
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, Ibron has some high upside and Pitt has

638
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: been solid, But you cannot carry three tight ends on

639
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: your roster. That's just wasting roster's base. In my opinion.

640
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: It might just be a situation where his team got

641
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: bit real bad by the injury bug and the league

642
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: gets so deep that there weren't viable running backs or

643
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: wide receivers to pick up. I mean that happens sometimes.

644
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: The problem is, like I said, you can really only

645
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: feasibly start one of these guys, maybe two if you

646
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: have a flex every week, So carrying more than two

647
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: is probably a mistake. Yeah, I would try to It's

648
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: probably late for this in the week, but I would

649
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: try to sell Jimmy Graham just based on the week

650
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: he had, and maybe someone in your league will buy.

651
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: But if not cut ties with him, it's not that

652
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: big of a deal. I mean, if he explodes, you

653
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: can write back to me an angry email, but I

654
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: don't think that's probably gonna happen. He was not very

655
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: good last year, and that was even before the injury.

656
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: You could sell any of them, really, Yeah, Yeah, you're

657
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: absolutely right. This is a really fun question. It's from

658
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: Mike and Oregon. If Kurt Warner, Brett Farve, Peyton Manning,

659
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: and Tim Tebow all signed tomorrow, in the NFL. Who

660
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: would be the best quarterback press this season? Wow, arena

661
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: back to me, I heard, I remember Farve Tebow? Who else?

662
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner. I'll just take Manning. He's

663
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: played the most recently, and you know, I mean we

664
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: saw him limp through last season, but he still got

665
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: through it and his team won the Super Bowl. So

666
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: I think he's the pretty obvious choice to me there.

667
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: I think Peyton Manning is way too smart to be

668
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: slinging the ball all around the yard, and Kurt Warner

669
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: is too. I mean, he's he's a big time thinker.

670
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: Brett far he's a smart guy. But when it comes

671
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: to playing football, you know he's gonna put up thirty

672
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: five passes a game. And it doesn't matter who signs him.

673
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: If he signed with the Los Angeles Rams and they

674
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: had all those horrible wide receivers they have, Brett Farr

675
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: would find a way to fantasy irrelevant. I mean, he

676
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: would just throw ball so much he threw up any

677
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: of interception. Sure, but you know he's staying on the

678
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: field and he's going to rack up those yards and touchdowns. Yep.

679
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: The classic gun slinger, right, Yeah, all right Brian from

680
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: West Virginia. He says, when I'm looking for the best

681
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: streaming wide receiver, what strategy shoot to employ? It kind

682
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 1: of depends on what your goal is with the streamer.

683
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: Are you just trying to get a solid source of

684
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, forward to seven fantasy points, because if you're

685
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: doing that, you just want to go after the guys

686
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: who were garnering the most targets from their quarterbacks. But

687
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: likely if you're streaming the wide receiver position, you're more

688
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: looking for that that big boom bust upside. You know,

689
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: that that potential for a huge week, catch a long touchdowns,

690
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Kenny Stills type. That's probably the way

691
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: I'd look at it. The one thing I would say

692
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: is you should try to exploit matchups maybe where you know,

693
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: second cornerbacks aren't as good as the top cornerbacks, and

694
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, maybe one receiver is going to receive all

695
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: the attention, like say Alan Robinson this week, and what

696
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: that might mean for Alan Hearns. But you know, Alan

697
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: Hearns is obviously Olwen. So you have to apply that

698
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: sort of thinking to worse offenses. Essentially, the guys where

699
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: the second and third wide receivers are going to be

700
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: available on waivers. To me, so much of it comes

701
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: down to game script and snap count. If you have

702
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: both those two things going for you. Even if your

703
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: name is Teddy Gain, who I think is a sneaky

704
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: play this week in deep leagues, just because he's on

705
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: the field so much more. He's on the field more

706
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: than funcious, And they're going to be passing the ball

707
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: a lot. I think they're going to put up a

708
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: lot of points. And you know, you could even take

709
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: away the names, you could take away a lot of

710
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: the athletic profile, and if you're streaming, I think you're

711
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: going to find plenty of plays with that. Now, obviously

712
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: you have that information with the athletic profile and the

713
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: names and the pedigree, so you might as well use

714
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: it to your advantage. But I think those are far

715
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: and away the two most important things. Yeah, fair enough,

716
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I don't know. It's so much of

717
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: it. It It just comes down to opportunity. Like you said today,

718
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: are they getting the targets? And that's what really matters.

719
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: The most one instance of this for me, I'll throw

720
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: a name out there is Michael Thomas. You know, the

721
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: Saints are going to play a lot of wide receiver

722
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: three sets. They're going to get San Diego, who's been

723
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: pretty bad against the past, even though they have read

724
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: on their team, Drew Brees is going to throw the

725
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: ball a lot. He's gonna be on the field. We

726
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: know that Michael Thomas is going to be on the

727
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: field in that game. Script Man, it's going to be

728
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: a high scoring game. So I love Michael Thomas this

729
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: week for that reason. Yeah. A guy that I was

730
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: looking at just earlier today as a very very you know,

731
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: deep streamer if you're desperate, truly desperate, is Andrew Hawkins

732
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 1: of the Cleveland Browns. They are going to be pretty

733
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: big underdogs this week at Washington, and Washington has been

734
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, fairly, they've been fairly susceptible, you know, to

735
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: the big play, and that does bold well for Terrell Prior.

736
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 1: But if if they start to key on Terrell Pryor,

737
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: that's going to give a little bit more space for

738
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: a guy like Andrew Hawkins to operate. Who's playing, you know,

739
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: in the stead of John Scorton and Corey Coleman, who

740
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: are both going to miss this game. I like that

741
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: call a lot, Greg I haven't heard anyone else use

742
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: that name, and it makes a lot of sense to me.

743
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: They're gonna be They're gonna be playing from behind, you

744
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: can be sure of that. And you know, maybe he'll

745
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: even catch some passes from Tarrell Prior. Oh, we can

746
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 1: only hope, all right. Next question comes just from Eric

747
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: in Louisiana, and he wants to know what's going to

748
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: happen when Charles comes back and now that leave on

749
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: Bell's back, what happens with Spencer Wear in d'angela Williams

750
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: value in fantasy? Yeah, where's an interest in case you

751
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: can envision a scenario where that Chiefs backfield just starts

752
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: to look like the Falcons backfield does. Now where kind

753
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: of both running backs get used interchangeably, as opposed to

754
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: a situation like New England, where you know you have

755
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: your la Garrett Blunt clear running plays and your James

756
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: White clear passing plays. I don't know, like I think

757
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: it really hurts Wear's value and Charles value because they're

758
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: both clearly good and they're both clearly going to play.

759
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: D'Angel Williams is a little bit more interesting. I think

760
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: that he becomes just a handcuff when Bell's back. I

761
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: think they're going to run Bell into the ground again.

762
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: The problem is that they might just run him into

763
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: the ground, like literally run him into the ground, hurt

764
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: him again. And that does make de'angelo Williams probably remaining

765
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 1: to be one of the elite handcuff backs in the league.

766
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: We could see some blowout games where DeAngelo Williams merits

767
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: some flex consideration, you know where you might look at

768
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: the game script or approximate the game script and determined that,

769
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, the Steelers should win this handily and eventually

770
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: they'll want to get Bell out of there. Yeah, it'll

771
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how those play out. Yeah, I

772
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: was thinking if the draft was today, where would I

773
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: take these guys? And I think back Charles Simms was

774
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: the top handcuff running back that was being drafted. He

775
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: was being drafted in the mid eighties, so we're talking

776
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: ninth round. If you're in a ten team league, I

777
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: would take either of these guys over Charles Simms. So

778
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: you got to hang onto them. There's no doubt about that.

779
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: As far as being a flex play, I would just

780
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: wait and see. I would wait and see what kind

781
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: of touches both these guys are getting once everyone comes back,

782
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,479
Speaker 1: But this week I think spencer ware startable. In fact,

783
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: I heard a report to Jamal Charles is almost definitely

784
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: not going to play. So if that's the case, spencer

785
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: where it's start worthy again. But when they do come back,

786
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: fully wait and see and maybe then plug him into

787
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: your flex. Yeah. I think you have to consider spencer

788
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: ware every week until we not only see Charles come

789
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: back and play, but play well. If Charles looks at

790
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 1: all dinged up or at all slow, then where it's

791
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: going to continue to merit more carries than he does.

792
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: And you know that that just means that where it's

793
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: going to hold value for a while. Nick from South

794
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: Carolina has me thinking with this question. He wants to

795
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: know Sterling Shepherd and Terrelle Pryor have been great so far,

796
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: but are they match up proof? Matchup proof is tough.

797
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's truly match or proof, but I

798
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: think that Sterling Shepherd is closer to that than Terrelle Pryor. Again,

799
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: like we talked about with wide receiver streaming earlier, targets

800
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: are a very important part of a wide receiver's production

801
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: then and they're there for Shepherd, or on the other hand,

802
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: has them now. But we do know that Josh Gordon

803
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: and Corey Coleman are eventually coming back, Barney just starting

804
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: to re establish himself a little bit, and their quarterback

805
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: play is probably going to be a little spotty. I

806
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: don't feel great about Terrell Prior maintaining this value. This

807
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: is probably a good time to sell him, especially if

808
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: he does have a big week on Sunday against Washington.

809
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, I prefer Shephard as more of a a

810
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: consistent source of fantasy points moving forward, not so much

811
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: with Prior. Now, if the draft was today, where would

812
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,959
Speaker 1: you take Shepherd? Has his stock improved a lot? Yeah,

813
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: I believe so. I mean, we were just kind of

814
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: waiting to see if it would happen, if it would

815
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: click with him, and it did. It's clear that, you know,

816
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: opposing defenses are keying on Odell Beckham Junior as well,

817
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: and that's definitely opened up space for Shepherd operate. I

818
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: think that, I mean, I wouldn't draft him super high,

819
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: but I think that he's probably in that fifth or

820
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: sixth round consideration for me. Yeah, I'm looking at his

821
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: targets right now. He has more targets than Handel Cobb. Well,

822
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: Cobb has been one of the biggest disappointments this season,

823
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Yeah, yeah, he really has. I like

824
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd a lot going forward. You guys all know

825
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: I was putting his horn during the preseason, and I'm

826
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: even more impressed with him than I thought I would be.

827
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: So Sterling Shepherd if you can get him in your league.

828
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: He hasn't made a lot of noise because he hasn't

829
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 1: been scoring touchdowns, but I think you could buy him

830
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: now and he's going to be worth more than his

831
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: value for what you'll have to trade. The next question

832
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: comes us from Michael in North Carolina, and he says,

833
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of depth, and I want

834
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: to trade it for stars. Who's going to be the

835
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: best rest of the season running back For me, I'm

836
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: just gonna take the chalk and go with David Johnson.

837
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: I think honorable mention is definitely Leavon Bell, But like

838
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: we talked about with the Angela Williams, Bell is an

839
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: injury concern. I think that David Johnson has proven that

840
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: whether the Cardinals are winning or not, game script independent,

841
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: he is just going to be a beast this year,

842
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,439
Speaker 1: active in the receiving game and the Russian game. He's

843
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: the pick for me. Yeah, I think David Johnson the

844
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: pretty clear choice for most people. I've been on the

845
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: Ezeko Elliott bandwagon from the beginning. I still think that he's,

846
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: if not the most talented running back in the league.

847
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: I think he's going to come into that and he's

848
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: just behind that great situation in Dallas where they've got

849
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: that offensive line. Their schedule is not very strong, and

850
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: so I think Elliot's going to end up being the

851
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: number one. In terms of who has the most value,

852
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 1: I think it's, without a doubt, David Johnson. So if

853
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: you can find a way to get David Johnson and

854
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: your team, I don't care if you have to trade

855
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, three mid chare players. If you have that

856
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: depth you're talking about, that is a great pickup. You

857
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: can really trust him. Yeah, those are always the types

858
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: of trades you want to make because giving up, you know,

859
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: three quarters for a dollar. With regards to Zeke, I

860
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: feel you on that. I think that he is going

861
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: to be very good moving forward. I have him on

862
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: a couple of rosters myself, but my concern with him

863
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: is that Alfred Morris is still there, that as defenses

864
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: maybe start to figure out Dak Prescott a little bit

865
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: more as the season progresses, that they'll start to be

866
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: able to stack the box a little heavier against the run.

867
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: So those are my primary concerns with Ezekiel Elliott. With

868
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: that said, he's talented enough and like you said, that

869
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: offensive line is good enough for him to, you know,

870
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: really make that happen. He could be the running back one.

871
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: And then finally, Brian from Oklahoma says, what in the

872
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 1: world should I do with this Vikings backfield and Falcons

873
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: back backfield? Where do you want me to start? I

874
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: actually think it's pretty easy with the Falcons backfield, to

875
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: be honest, I think you play both of them. For now.

876
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: It seems like both of them are being used in

877
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: running and passing situations, game script independent, which is very

878
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 1: important with the running back. And I mean, you might

879
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 1: be able to look at certain matchups and say, Okay,

880
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: the Falcons are a big underdog here. Maybe we'll see

881
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: less Coleman and more Freeman as a pass catcher. But

882
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like the Falcons are going to use

883
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: them that much. I think they're both you know, RB

884
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: two slash flex plays every week. The Vikings, that's tougher.

885
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: I think that it's fair to maintain you know, high

886
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: or high ish expectations for McKinnon. I mean, the opportunity

887
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: there is huge. He shouldn't be too script dependent because

888
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: he's active in the passing game. On the other hand,

889
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: that offensive line is a mess. You can't expect big

890
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: things for him against you know, good defenses. But I

891
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm still cautiously optimistic about McKinnon. I think that,

892
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 1: you know, he's probably worth playing this week. He'll probably

893
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 1: be worth playing against you know, middling to bad defenses

894
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: going forward. Asiata is just like a touchdown bingo play

895
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: to me, if you want to gamble on him getting

896
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: six points in a week, shirt play him. But those

897
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: aren't the types of players don't want to roster. Yeah, yeah,

898
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: I totally agree. You might as well pick up some

899
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: random fullback and just cross your fingers that he gets

900
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: a touchdown and it's the same same kind of thing.

901
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: It might be like John Kohen last week. Yeah, I

902
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: think McKinnon's clearly the best talent in that backfield. If

903
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: he was in a better situation. If he was on

904
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: virtually any other team. If you watch this guy play,

905
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,439
Speaker 1: he can be an RB one someday. He's very very good.

906
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: But what they have going on in Minnesota, where there's

907
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 1: playing these these tight games, Ozziada is going to get

908
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: a lot of carries because he fits into those circum stances,

909
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: whereas McKinnon's just kind of you know, he's a home

910
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: run hitter. He's a lot smaller of a player, and

911
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: they're playing these big, physical games, and I just don't

912
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: think he fits, especially behind that beat up offensive line.

913
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: So this week I'm not playing McKinnon. You guys all

914
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: know who listened to the show. I love Jeric McKinnon,

915
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: but against that defense, I'm just not sure, not so sure.

916
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: He's a great play at this point. Now the Falcons,

917
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: that's a completely different story. You hit the nail on

918
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: the head. Coleman's ranked number five right now in standard leagues,

919
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman's right number thirteen. You have to play them both.

920
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: They're both so good. That offensive line is second to

921
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: only Dallas, and it might even be first. That offensive

922
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: line is very good. So it's really exciting what they

923
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: have going on in Atlanta and I'm really curious to

924
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,919
Speaker 1: see how it's gonna play out the rest of the season. Yeah,

925
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,280
Speaker 1: getting back real quick to what you were saying about McKinnon,

926
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: You're right, it's easy for opposing teams to game plan

927
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: for him, and they're going to game plan for him

928
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: because he is that explosive talent. You know, every defense

929
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: a coordinator is going to know where Jack McKinnon is

930
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: on every snap if he's in the game, and you know,

931
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: if they're stacking the box against the run anyway, because

932
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford's the quarterback, then yeah, McKinnon's going to have

933
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: to really excel to take advantage of that situation, even

934
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: though the opportunity is large. So, Greg, you're doing so

935
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 1: well in our expert accuracy rankings right now, well I

936
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: want yeah, Well, you were number three going into the week.

937
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: You were top ten two consecutive weeks out of one

938
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: hundred and forty experts, which is just amazing. I cannot

939
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: believe you pulled that off. But now you're you're done

940
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: at what I think number twenty three, which is still

941
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: incredibly high out of one forty. So I'm excited to

942
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: hear what you have to say here. We're gonna make

943
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: some bold predictions for Week four. We're gonna make one

944
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: per position. I'll start us off just to give you

945
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 1: a taste of what we're looking for, or at least

946
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: what I have in mind for You can take whichever

947
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: way you want. Sure, I've already talked about this a

948
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: little bit with James co I have Matt Ryan just

949
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: obliterating the Panthers secondary. The Panther secondary is very bad.

950
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: Their pass rush is their strength. But I think that

951
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcon's offensive linemen, like we already talked about, I

952
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: think they can hold off the pass rush. And Matt

953
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: Ryan's playing great football right now. Julio Jones is more

954
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: healthy than he's been all season. I think he's on

955
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: his way to be in a top five quarterback again

956
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: this week against the Panthers defense. Yeah, I kind of

957
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: like the call. It's definitely bold. I you're right about

958
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: one thing. The way to attack the Panthers defense is

959
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: through the air. They're they're super stout against the run um.

960
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: You know, losing Josh Norman, while Norman was probably a

961
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: little overrated, that is a big blow to that defense.

962
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: And I could see a scenario where Matt Ryan does

963
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, towards those guys, but I don't know if

964
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: I bet on it, I definitely would not bet on it.

965
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: All right, So I got one for you because I

966
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: can't say that Julian Edelman will be a top ten

967
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: quarterback this week because he won't have quarterback eligibility. I've

968
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: got to, you know, slink a little bit lower hat

969
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: tip to my site partner sal Stefanili. With Julian Edelman

970
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: as a QB, that would be so great. But anyway,

971
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Travone Boykin is a top twenty quarterback. Now,

972
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 1: this really doesn't impact a lot of one QB leagues,

973
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: but you know, I gotta rep that two QB brand

974
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: and give a shout out to the guy who's probably

975
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: gonna play for Russell Wilson this weekend. That's how I

976
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: feel about it. You know, he's talented. I watched him

977
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: play and he seems like a guy that the more

978
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: snaps he gets, he can really fit into a starting

979
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: role in the NFL. Now, he's not going to be

980
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: any kind of top end guy. He'll probably be mediocre

981
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 1: if that, but I think he can start in the NFL.

982
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: He looked good. Yeah, I mean, this is more just

983
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: a call about me saying Russell Wilson isn't going to play.

984
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if Travone Boykin is actually that good.

985
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: But the Seahawks are the type of team kind of

986
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: like New England, where they just draft and play good players,

987
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: and they put players in situations where they're going to succeed.

988
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: And I could see that happening for Boyken this weekend.

989
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: You know, I will say this. Pete Carroll came out

990
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: today and said that Russell Wilson's perfectly fine. He's on

991
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: track to return week four, no doubt about it. I

992
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: don't trust him at all. He lied to us last week.

993
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: But Thomas Rawls, I don't trust this guy. No, you

994
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: never should trust any coach when they say stuff like that.

995
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no incentive for the Seahawks to play

996
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson this weekend if he's a all dinged up

997
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: and that division is such a mess, like Arizona is

998
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: the only good team there, but they're struggling, so there's

999
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: no need to rush Wilson back. They might as well

1000
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: see what they got on Trevone Boykan. Yeah, you know.

1001
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: And then the New York Jets have to prepare for

1002
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson just in case he plays, and that screws

1003
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 1: everything up for them. So I mean, that's the that's

1004
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: the game. So shit, that's the whole reason they say

1005
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Yep, I'm sure that that is happening.

1006
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: I like that call a lot. Let's move on to

1007
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: running back. I already talked about Ezekiel Elliot a little bit,

1008
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: but I think this week he's going to put up

1009
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: the top Fantasy game so far this season for a

1010
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: running back. I just love this matchup. I watched him

1011
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 1: play with so much more confidence last week too, and

1012
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: he is ready to just explode onto the scene. He

1013
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: has as much athleticism as anybody, and he's going against

1014
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: that San Francisco defense. I really like this a lot.

1015
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna get twenty five carries, maybe even thirty. Again,

1016
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: they love feeding him the ball and he's going to

1017
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: go crazy. I'm calling one hundred and eighty yards two touchdowns.

1018
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: Well like it. I hope you're right. I have him

1019
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: on a bunch of rosters, a good deal. All right,

1020
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: what do you go for us? I'm going to say

1021
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: that Kenyan Drake is a top twenty running back this week.

1022
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: And I know we saw Jgi score that winning touchdown

1023
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: and OT it was kind of a gimme though. And

1024
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: we know that the Dolphins aren't very enamored with Jhi E.

1025
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,320
Speaker 1: But you know, I just I think that Drake is

1026
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: the guy they want to play. They drafted him this year.

1027
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: The Bengals have been stout against the run in general,

1028
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: but running backs have been pretty efficient against them as receivers.

1029
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: And that's Drake's game. He's going to catch passes out

1030
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: of the backfield. I think that this is just an

1031
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: interesting spot for him where they may be playing from behind,

1032
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: they are underdogs against Cincinnati. Drake's my guy. I'm really

1033
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: curious to see what the Dolphins do with that backfield

1034
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: this week. Drake clearly was the best player there. Now,

1035
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: we all know NFL coaches don't always do what makes

1036
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: sense to us the fantasy expert, but you know, if

1037
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: they if they do what makes sense, Drake is gonna

1038
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: get fifteen carries and he's gonna be He's gonna be fine.

1039
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a solid running back and I could

1040
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: definitely see him in the top twenty. That's pretty bold,

1041
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: but I could definitely see it happening. Maybe it's not

1042
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,439
Speaker 1: bold enough. Maybe I should have said top ten, top ten.

1043
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: That'd be crazy, man. I would have had to put

1044
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: the PPR qualifier on there though. If that happened, you

1045
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: would have had me talking in like a really high

1046
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: pitched voice, because that would have been really excited about it. Well,

1047
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: we'll see. I'm gonna make the craziest call of the week.

1048
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: And that's really saying something after I'm saying is it's

1049
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: going for one eighty and two touchdowns. I already hit

1050
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 1: on Kevin White and why I like him so much.

1051
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: He's all the way down at number fifty one wide

1052
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 1: receiver in ECR, but he's gonna get so many targets.

1053
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:46,479
Speaker 1: He's gonna keep getting targets from Brian Hoyer. His athletic profile. Look,

1054
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: I love Alshan Jeffrey, but if we're talking athletic profile,

1055
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: Kevin White has a better one. He's just a better athlete.

1056
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: That's all it comes down to. They're going to Detroit.

1057
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a high scoring game. And I like

1058
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: Kevin White a lot this week. I like him so

1059
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: much that I'm projecting him to be a top ten

1060
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver this week. Yeah, I like that call, especially

1061
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: because Alshan Jeffrey is hurt, I mean, or questionable. At

1062
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: least he'll probably play, but you know, if he does

1063
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: have to leave the game, that's a really good opportunity

1064
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 1: for Kevin White in a potential catchup mode or potential

1065
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: shootout mode. Really with Detroit, you know, when we see

1066
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,760
Speaker 1: these wide receivers every week, who are you know, Terrell Prior?

1067
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: What was he ranked mid forties last week and he

1068
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: broke out and was the number two wide receiver. That

1069
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 1: kind of stuff happens every week, So it's just a

1070
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: matter of who it's going to be, and I think

1071
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: this week it's Kevin White. Yeah, I like that call.

1072
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: Mine's probably equally dubious, but I'm gonna go with Tyrell

1073
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: Williams will be a top five receiver this week. He's

1074
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 1: kind a real sweet matchup against the Saints. I might

1075
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: even predict that he does it again next week against Oakland.

1076
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: But he's the most prototypical receiver on the Chargers. Rivers

1077
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: throws to him a lot already, you know, as kind

1078
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: of an unproven rookie. That's proof enough for me to

1079
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: be honest, and you can see that trust there between Rivers,

1080
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: say Williams. The matchups are just really good. You know,

1081
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: New Orleans in Oakland. We saw what receivers have done

1082
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: to both of those teams in the first three weeks.

1083
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: It's it's time to jump on board the tyroll Williams spandwagon.

1084
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: If you haven't already, He's number twenty eight ECR and

1085
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: I have to admit it, Greg, when I saw that,

1086
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't believing it whatsoever. I'll be honest, though, I

1087
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: have not seen this guy play very often. You know,

1088
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: I've seen some highlights, but I haven't sat down and

1089
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: watched film. I don't know what to think of him.

1090
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: I know that Philip Rivers has made much more obscure

1091
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: people than him fantasy relevant. That's just what Philip Rivers does.

1092
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: The New Orleans Saint defense is so so so bad

1093
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 1: that I would not be the least bit shocked of

1094
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 1: him or someone even more obscure goes for top ten

1095
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver points. Oh yeah, it could be dontre Linman

1096
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: or even Travis Benjamin. I just like Williams because he

1097
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: is that more prototypical wide receiver. He's a little bigger,

1098
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: and I don't know he has looked good in the

1099
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 1: in the games that I've watched, all right, and then end,

1100
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: I know I was just talking down on Jimmy Graham

1101
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: because you know he was not the best tight end

1102
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: on that team. But I have Jimmy Graham as the

1103
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,720
Speaker 1: number one tight end this week just because I really

1104
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: like what I saw last week. Boykin was passing him

1105
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: the ball, and Russell Wilson, for whatever reason, doesn't trust

1106
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: him to pass them the ball. Jimmy Graham was lining

1107
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: up in the slot more often than he ever has

1108
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: in his career last week, and this might be a

1109
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: new thing that teams are going to have to adjust to,

1110
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: but until they do, I think he's a real good option. Yeah,

1111
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: he's had the injury problems and he's probably not going

1112
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: to last a full season. He's just probably not. But

1113
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: if you're betting on him to last one week, sure, yeah, yeah,

1114
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: I could definitely happen. They're going to New York. Fitzpatrick

1115
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: is not going to throw six interceptions. He's going to

1116
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 1: do a lot better than that, and I think Jimmy

1117
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: Graham is going to get the ball. So yeah, I

1118
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: could definitely see him being the number one tight end.

1119
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: This week. Once again, I'm not betting on it, but

1120
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: we're going bold predictions here, and he's the type of

1121
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: guy who could do that. Yeah, it backs up my

1122
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: trophone Boykin theory. I like it. I'm working together. Yeah. Well,

1123
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: and the Jets are really stout against the run, so Seattle,

1124
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: whether they like it or not, is going to have

1125
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: to pass to some extent. And when it comes to,

1126
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: you know, young or raw quarterbacks, you have to like

1127
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: those guys who are running the shorter or more intermediate routes,

1128
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,760
Speaker 1: and that's Jimmy Graham is the tight end. That's maybe CJ.

1129
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: Prosis out of the backfield, I mean, Doug Baldwin, Jermaine

1130
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 1: Cursel run plenty of lands, I'm sure, but I think, yeah,

1131
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: Graham's a good choice this week. I think until he

1132
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: proves that he's not healthy, you have to think that

1133
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: he'll be fine. For me, I'm going to say that

1134
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas not just finishes as a top ten tight end,

1135
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 1: but finishes as a top ten receiver in general. So

1136
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: out of white outs and wide receivers or white outs

1137
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: end tight ends, I'm gonna put Julius Thomas in the

1138
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: top ten. I think that the Jags are going to

1139
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,879
Speaker 1: take a page out of New Orleans notebook. We saw

1140
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: what Kobe Fliner did to the Colts last week, and

1141
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 1: this is a spot where I really like Julius Thomas.

1142
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 1: I think that it pays for defenses to keen on

1143
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson and try to take him away because he

1144
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: is such a safety blanket for Blake Bortles. Bortles is

1145
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: going to have to look elsewhere. Four receivers and against

1146
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: a bad pass defense. I think that Julius Thomas is

1147
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 1: going to come up huge. I've got him as a

1148
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: top three tight end, top ten receiver in general. This week.

1149
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm so nervous about anyone in that nine thirty game.

1150
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you're traveling all across the world and then

1151
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: you're playing at nine thirty in the morning. I have

1152
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: no idea how people are going to respond to this.

1153
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, the defenses might be sluggish and it might

1154
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: be like forty two to thirty nine or something crazy

1155
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: like that. Or maybe the offenses come out and their

1156
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: sluggish is really low scoring game. I have no idea

1157
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. But anytime you have a tight

1158
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: angle in up against Indianapolis, it's usually a good bet. Yeah,

1159
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: they're the worst against tight ends by football outsiders DVOA.

1160
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: All right, Greg, Well that's all the questions we have

1161
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: for you this week. I really appreciate you coming on.

1163
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: to see how some of these bold predictions work out

1164
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: for us. Yeah, I got my fingers crossed man. Thanks
