Speaker 1: should call between the two full hawks, the high hair

26
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: thing going on. I'm going Cowboys Niners. It's gonna be

27
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: how bad the Cowboys defense is. And actually I want

28
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: to see how bad the Niners defensive. Interesting great fantasy game.

29
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: I like Chargers Cardinals. That's like vanilla pudding after you

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: had a great dinner. It's Monday night nightcap after a

31
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: great Week one, and I think it's a matchup a

32
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: good two good teams and then a lot of fantasy

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: reil events in Chargers Cardinals, especially when you look at

34
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, his Bolo Keenan, Allen Keenan, Michael Floyd, keep going,

35
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: Andre Ellington, Let's do it, Patrick Peterson as well. All right,

36
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: let's talk about your top headlines for today Tuesday. NFL

37
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: Networks Albert Brere reported that Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes

38
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: Welker was suspended four games as he violated the league's

39
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: policy on performance enhancing drunks. Welcome responded to the Denver

40
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: Post saying quote, I'm as shocked as everyone at today's news.

41
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: All Right, his fantasy impact on the Denver Broncos. Well, actually,

42
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: actually it's gonna be his real life impact on the

43
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Right. Uh. They score less points, they get

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: less yards, They pretty much are less efficient on the

45
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. And here you go a

46
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: little chart for you to guys to look at here

47
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: with Wes Welker third team games, a smaller sample size

48
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: without three games, but you see it. Their points per game,

49
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: yards per game, passing yards per game all down when

50
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: Wes Welker is not but still pretty good. Yeah, you'll

51
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: take that all right. Um, In terms of Wes Welker

52
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: not being there, he's gonna be gone for four games.

53
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: It could be a blessing in disguise for him because

54
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: he was dealing with concussion symptoms as well. But it'll

55
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: certainly mean more touches for the Thomas brothers to Marius

56
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: and Julius. But who's that secondary weapon in that Broncos

57
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: offense is gonna benefit the most? You gotta go Emmanuel Sanders. So,

58
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders is a guy who was really good in

59
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: that third preseason game, had a couple of touchdowns and

60
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: seemed to have a nice report. He's a different player

61
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: though than Eric Decker. He's more of a vertical threat.

62
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: He gets behind the defenses and makes plays like this.

63
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: I also think that Wes Welker should still be drafted

64
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: in fantasy. He's just later. Uh. And if you drafted

65
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: we later, you shouldn't drop him after the tenth rounds.

66
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: After the tenth round, still take a chance that I'm

67
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: as your fifth wide. It's gonna reference one thing. We

68
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: showed that full screen, and we showed the weeks fifteen

69
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: through seventeen in the small print. Yeah, most scoring is

70
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: down a week's fifteen through seventeen. When is that? That's

71
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: December football? Whether it's different, everything's different. So I don't

72
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: know that his impact is that huge, This Peyton Manning guy.

73
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: Peon Elliot, Well, we'll get back to the Pitton Mann

74
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: effect in just a moment. But Ellie, I want to

75
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: pick your brain a little bit here. Uh, Emmanuel Sanders

76
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: or Andrey Caldwell, who's the better fit in that slot position? Well,

77
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: I've heard a little bit of talk of well, Emmanuel

78
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: Sanders isn't a slot receiver. Yeah, I think I has

79
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: eighteen career starts. Can we really define what his career is?

80
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: I think they can move him around anywhere they want

81
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: to think he's that type of player. I would absolutely

82
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: take him over Andre Caldwell, and I agree with you.

83
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: I think he is a must have in fantasy. If

84
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: you can get him, you need to get Emmanuel Sanders.

85
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: All right, So you're gonna take uh Welker later? Obviously

86
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: you still hold fourteenth round round there you go, all right,

87
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, Look if I can play Devil's advocate for

88
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: just a moment here. Pitton lost Derek Decker in the

89
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: off season, he loses west Welker for four games in

90
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: the start of the season. Is it at least feasible

91
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: to argue that Enny's value is gonna be hurt here?

92
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: Or is he just a juggernaut that just keeps strucking off?

93
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's feasible, but he wasn't gonna do what

94
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: he did last year. Again. I meant passat yards fifty

95
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: touch is not gonna happen in back to back years.

96
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: It may not happen ever again. And then let's remember

97
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning went through times in Innnapolis where Marvin Harrison

98
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 1: was injured or Reggie Wayne was out, and he still

99
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: found guys to put up numbers. I mean Austin Collie.

100
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: You think Austin College was a great wide receiver when

101
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: he played with Peyton Mannie, he was very very good. Yeah,

102
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: the year Dallas Clark got hurt, I think Jacob Tammy

103
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: caught sixty nine balls in like ten games exactly. Here's

104
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: the one possibility, the one where I would agree with

105
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: you is Wes Welker is a good little five yard

106
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: in seven yard al gay. That means that you can

107
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: get the ball out quickly if you're not holding the

108
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: balls long, less chance for injury. And when you're dealing

109
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: with the thirty eight year old quarterback, you have to

110
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: at least think that way. So that might be the

111
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: one area where I think Wes Welker could affect this

112
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: team for next surgeries as well. One big hit away.

113
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: I guess all quarterbacks are one big hit away, but yeah,

114
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: especially for a thirty year old quarterback with four next surgeries,

115
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: A little bit of pause for concern, all right, let's

116
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: go to Atlanta Falcons. Running back Stephen Jackson reaffirmed to

117
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: fans on Tuesday he will be playing on Sunday, even

118
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: though he missed out on all four preseason games he

119
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: Falcons at home versus the Saints. Some managers trotting him

120
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: out there as a flex play fabs. Is this a

121
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: smart play? Is it gonna pay profits? Not? Based on

122
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: the numbers. If you look at his numbers, especially recently

123
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: in September games, he has not performed well, didn't find

124
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: the end zone very often in the month of September.

125
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: I just don't trust him. All right. Let me ask you, guys,

126
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: So what do you consider a lot of touches for

127
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: running back in the season? A ton a ton of

128
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: touches on Okay, this guy's got two thousand, nine ninety

129
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: two touches in his career. That's about eight and a

130
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: half times what you just said was kind of touches.

131
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: That is a lot of tread man. So basically, is

132
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: he even worth a flex play twelve team league? I

133
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: think probably he's gonna be utilized as a flex starter,

134
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: maybe a fourteen league for sure. Ten team league. I'm

135
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: giving you the revenge of the nerds. I like that.

136
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: I like that. All right, that's your top headlines. Let's

137
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: kick it over to Molly and Marcus James. Thank you

138
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: so much, Molly Carram alongside Marcus Grant and for those

139
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: of you procrastinators out there were guilty as well that

140
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: haven't drafted yet. Marcus take us through some guys that

141
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: they should target in their flex spat and let's begin

142
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: with Darren Sprawls. He had the most receiving TVs and

143
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: yards amongst running backs over the past five years. Is

144
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: he taking points away from Shady? I don't think he is.

145
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: I think because both those guys can play on the

146
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: field at the same time, that's going to help Darren

147
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: sprawls value. It's not going to hurt Lashawn McCoy's value. Look,

148
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: Sprowls is a guy who when you looked at him

149
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: on your roster when you draft him, he's got that

150
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: RB designation next to his name. But more than anything,

151
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: he may be as much of a wide receiver as

152
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: anything this year. And I think when you talk about

153
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: where the production is going to come from or who

154
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna take away from, you're looking at all those

155
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: targets that Deshan Jackson had last year that he left

156
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,239
Speaker 1: behind when he moved to Washington, And so don't fear.

157
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: If you drafted McCoy and you have and you're worried

158
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: about scrolls, don't worry about it. I don't think it's

159
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: going to be an issue. And he's gonna be a

160
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: PPR machine real quick. He's going in the eleventh round.

161
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: That seems a bit lately, Yeah, exactly, all right, we

162
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: head to the Motor City now, Joyce Bell lead the

163
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 1: lines and rush t D's last season with eight isn't

164
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: he a great value? They're going in the eighth round.

165
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: He's a fantastic value. And I don't even know that

166
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 1: he lasts to the eighth round in a lot of drafts,

167
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: simply because he and Reggie Bush were almost co number

168
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,679
Speaker 1: one running backs last year, and I think that division

169
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: of labor is going to be even more equal this year.

170
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: Bell is not a guy you're putting in as an

171
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: RB two unless maybe Bush somehow goes down with injury

172
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: and Bell takes those those touches. But as a flex option,

173
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: I love the guy, especially because he's gonna catch passes

174
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: out of the backfield in a in an offense that

175
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: is the past happiest of all the offenses in the league. Yeah,

176
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: no question. Moving on to kendall Right, he had ninety

177
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: four catches and a thousand, seventy seven yards. Can he

178
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: build on that because it seems like Justin Hunter is

179
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: really on the rise there. I think you can. I mean, certainly,

180
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: ninety four catches, that's nothing to sneeze at. And I

181
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: think a lot of people don't pay attention to Kim

182
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: the Hunter. I know the Titans aren't the sexiest team

183
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: out there, but this is a guy who makes a

184
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: lot of catches. He's a PPR monster and having just

185
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: a Hunter. If Hunter can step up the way a

186
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: lot of people, myself included, think he can, that means

187
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: a lot of attention is going to be focused on

188
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: the other side of the field. As long as Jake

189
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: Locker can stay healthier, they can get some sort of

190
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: consistency at quarterback. I like kimdall right a lot. Where

191
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: are you taking him? I'm taking Kida right probably is

192
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: a six maybe seventh round guy. Alright, Moving on to

193
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd. You mentioned Detroit having a pass first game,

194
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: so does Arizona. So he seems to just have a

195
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: ton of upside there. He absolutely does. And Gil brandt

196
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: our godfather here at the network. He loves Carson Pulver

197
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: to have a five thousand yard passing season. Those balls

198
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: have to go somewhere. And I think Michael Floyd before

199
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: the year is out, maybe even at the start of

200
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: the year, is going to take over for Larry Fitzgerald

201
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: as the number one option in that Cardinals passing attack.

202
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: Started to come on great at the end of last season.

203
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: A guy who's great after the catch as well. I

204
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: think Michael Floyd blows up. Yeah, he was tenth in

205
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: the NFL in yards for catchy. He was really the

206
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: story of the preseason there in Arizona. You got one

207
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: more X guy for me? I do Franklin Delano Gore

208
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: get him? I wonder why. Good matchup this week? Pretty

209
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: good Dallas, Dallas defense. Yeah, that's the guy you want

210
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: to plug in your line up as a flex option. Yeah,

211
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: plug in play, no question. Good stuff, Marcus, thank you.

212
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we're all about Michael Fabriano. Starts and

213
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: sits this week. You may have drafted some stunts, but

214
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: can you play them in their opening debut? Will reveal

215
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: them as NFL Fantasy Lives girls, I'll stay with us. Hey,

216
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm Major Green, Uncle Down Patterson, I'm Antonio Brown. I'm

217
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: just Sean Jackson. You should have draft me on your

218
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: fantasy team because you know I scored a lot of

219
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: points every every weekend. Because I'm gonna get your most

220
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: points every week. Y'all seen what I did last six games,

221
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: have seen you know I blew up and even when

222
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: I don't get you good points, I'm gonna come back

223
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: to the week after and get your smoke point. Don't

224
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: forget that. Tomorrow, NFL Fantasy Live takes a road trip

225
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: to Seattle. Will be live from Century Link doing our

226
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: opening kickoff preview and even talk with Michael Robinson on

227
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: NFL Network. That's pool Kim Eastern one game to send it.

228
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live and all this week

229
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: we're asking fans to help us set a world record

230
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: as we get back to football. Upload a picture of

231
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: yourself wearing your team's jersey to NFL dot com slash

232
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: back to Football on Friday and help us break the

233
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: record for the most jersey photos in an online album.

234
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: Mine is ironed and ready to go, and you guys

235
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: can guess what it is Giants. Hey, we've got another

236
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: two teams to focus on here. Since we're back to football,

237
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: let's preview the opening kickoff game, and boy is in

238
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: a good one. The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks hosting

239
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. It's a rematch of the fail

240
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: married Gentleman, and we've got two stead quarterbacks in this one,

241
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: both in fantasy and reality. Who's going to have a

242
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: better game, Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson. I'm gonna go

243
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson on this one. I just like his

244
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: mobility and what he offers. Their fabs and that Packers defense,

245
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: I just don't trust them. They have a decent pass rush,

246
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: but I think their secondary can be had. And again,

247
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: the rushing quotient gets to me here, because if the

248
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: Packers do get a little bit of a pass rush,

249
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson can get outside of the pocket, maybe pick

250
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: up thirty five yards rushing. For you, there's an extra

251
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: three and a half points, just like that. You know,

252
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: I love stats, right? All about stats? Last year, the

253
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: Seahawks allowed eight touchdown passes at home eight sixteen interceptions.

254
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is a guy you have to play He's

255
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. You gotta play them. But you've really got

256
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: to temper your expectations in this contest. If the Seahawks

257
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: defense is even a third as good as they were

258
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: last year at home, this is a brutal matchup. Yeah.

259
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: But that being said, we've talked about it before. Don't

260
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: get cute you drafted Rodgers to your starter. We don't

261
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: know the Seahawks defense is gonna be great yet. We

262
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: think they are. But it's a new season. You do

263
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: not sit Aaron Rodgers. Wait until week three or four

264
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: before you start looking for trends and matchups. Yeah, and

265
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people forget that. Russell Wilson finished the

266
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: eighth amongst quarterbacks and fantasy points last season. That's pretty good. Alright,

267
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: moving on, we've got some pretty good running backs here.

268
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: Let's move to the backfield better and a Marshal Lynch

269
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: or Eddie Lacey. I'm going with beast mode. I'm gonna

270
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: throw skittles out onto the field. I am going with

271
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: Mr Lynch. Now here's the reason why. Okay, it's the

272
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: Sea defense. That defense again. Now, Elliott said, we don't

273
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: know if it's going to be as good as it

274
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: was last year, but you can project that it's going

275
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: to be extremely tough, especially in Seattle. And I'm not

276
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: down on Lynch. Everyone seems to be down on him,

277
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: worried about his workload. Not me. I'm starting and I

278
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: love him. I'll play him. I'm going Eddie Lacy. Look,

279
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: last time they played in this game, Aaron Rodgers got

280
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: sacked eight times in the first half. How do you

281
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: diffuse that by running the football? Have you seen Eddie

282
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: Lacy play lately in the preseason? Pretty darn good? Should

283
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: he be called baseball now? All right, there's so much

284
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: a fantasy firepower in this one. Who's going to be

285
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: the highest scoring receiver? Guys, I'm going Randall Cobb. I

286
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: think Randall Cobb is really a matchup problem for any

287
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: team because the Packers offense can move him around. He

288
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: can play outside, he can play in the slot. I

289
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: get it. The Seahawks secondary is very good. I think

290
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: it's gonna affect Jordy Nelson and more than Randall Cobb.

291
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has one touchdown passing this game, and I

292
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: think it's going to number eight team. See I disagree.

293
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Jordy Nelson. I know he's

294
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: probably in to be seen a lot of Richard Sherman,

295
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: but Nelson is definitely Aaron rodgers first target in the

296
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: passing game. I like Cobb. I think it's gonna be

297
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: fantastic this year, but again, this matchup is just tough.

298
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm going with Nelson, excited to see Cobb out their

299
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: healthy for looking forward to that. All right, let's take

300
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: a look at Mr Fabiano or Hall of Famer's projections

301
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: for this one. FABS walk us through it here. Well,

302
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: I am very, very very scared of this Packer's offense.

303
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: Very That's why I don't have Rodgers having a big game.

304
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: Lacy Cobb decent games, Jordy Nelson will be the best

305
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver there. And see, I just think Russell Wilson

306
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: has a far better matchup. I love Marshawn Lynch. Seahawks

307
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: defense puts up third team. All right, Elliott, let's see

308
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: what you got here, my friend. Okay, I think the

309
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: Packers are gonna mostly run the football. That's why I

310
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: think Eddie Lacey is gonna have a big game. I

311
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: think the Packers scored two touchdowns in this game. Eddie

312
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: ac and Raundle Cob That's why I haven't at fourteen points.

313
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: That's not a hundred forty yards eighty yards in a

314
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: touch for Seattle Russell Wilson. I like a little bit

315
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: of rushing yards, and I've got Seattle defense with a

316
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: good nine point game, not quite as high as you.

317
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: I think the Packers is gonna be a little conservative.

318
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: Facts cannot wait for this one. Make sure to set

319
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: your lineups today. Thanks guys, good stuff. Coming up next,

320
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: we talk fantasy sophomore stars who will break the curse

321
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: of the sophomore slump and break out for fantasy owners

322
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: this season. Did Monty Ball or car Darrel Patterson make

323
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: the list? Also, the Whole of Fame or Michael Fabiano

324
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: returns to tell you which wide receivers you should start

325
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: in which to sit in Week one. That's next. Come

326
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: on back, all right, Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live.

327
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: It's one of the most popular fantasy columns in existence.

328
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: We're talking about Michael Fabriano startom sit Them column. Every week,

329
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: Fabs writes an article on nfl dot Com slash starts

330
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: sit on which players he believes are good star arts

331
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: in which you need to sit for your fantasy team

332
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: each week. So let's get right into it. Week one,

333
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: startom sit them. We're gonna start talking about wide receivers, Mike,

334
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: if we can, Let's talk about about Victor Cruz and

335
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: Salsa King Giants versus the Lions on Monday Night. Victor

336
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: Cruz starter sit. I am starting Victor Cruz. I know

337
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: he had a terrible season in two thousand and thirteen,

338
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: but he likes playing in September. Eight touchdowns in his

339
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: last nine games in this month, averaging right around. I'll

340
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: hunt into receiving yards per game in those games. And

341
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: last year the Lions allowed the third most fantasy points

342
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: to wide receivers. I don't like Eli Manning, but I

343
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: like Victor Cruz. Have you seen enough improvement from Eli

344
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: Manning in that offense? Man That offense has looked rough

345
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: this preseason. I understand that, But a wide receiver can

346
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: still score well from a fantasy perspective, even if his

347
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: quarterback doesn't. All right, very good. Vincent Jackson Tampa Bay

348
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: in a tough matchup versus Carolina v Jacks starter SIP.

349
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: I am starting him, and this is a really tough matchup.

350
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: But Vincent Jackson loves to play at home, and he

351
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: producers at home, a touchdown and fighting his last six

352
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: games in Tampa Bay, including a touchdown in the last

353
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: three games consecutively in Tampa Bay. So I'm playing Vincent

354
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: Jackson this weekend against the Panthers. How fun is it

355
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a see Josh McCown throwing to these big boys.

356
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: They got these these basketball big dudes like Mike Evans

357
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: in there as well, So it's gonna be done some

358
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: big targets. Vinza Jackson will be his favorite. Josh mccam

359
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: might be a little sleeper pick as well. All Right,

360
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson Washington on the road at Houston, who has

361
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: much reprouved defense with Jadeveon Clowney, start or sit the

362
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: former colt there. I am not a fan of DeShawn Jackson,

363
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: not only in this game, but for the entire season

364
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: at least. Compared to his two thousand and thirteen numbers,

365
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: sixty plus receptions once in his last five games, and

366
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: the Texans allowed the fourth few with fantasy points to

367
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers last year. And how about this, Jackson only

368
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: has one touchdown in his last four road game games

369
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: against the a FC. We go deep with the stats here.

370
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: James love it. I just drafted him last night. I

371
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: don't love that stat. Sorry that the Baltimore at home

372
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: versus the Bengals. Tori Smith start or sit? I am

373
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: sitting Tori Smith. I do not like this match against

374
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: the Bengals. In his last five games against Cincinnati, he's

375
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: averaging thirty two yards and he's always scored one touchdown.

376
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: Those do not vote well for Tory Smith's production this weekend.

377
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: A little bit of surprising call here, right though, for

378
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: Tory Smith, because he has the number one in the

379
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore often the Bengals defense is really good, so I

380
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: don't think this is a surprise at all. All right,

381
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: here's a look at some of your other startrooms and sidhoms,

382
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: and of course you can catch the entire UH column online,

383
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: but we'll get to that in a bit. How about

384
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: we talk running backs? Now, let's do it, and Fabs,

385
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: I know you like a guy that's gonna be playing

386
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: against Chicago. We've got some eye opening stats regarding that Chicago.

387
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: What's mighty Chicago defense? Yeah, no longer the monsters of

388
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: the Midway, the monstrous in terms of not so good monsters.

389
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: H Bears rush defense NFL worst in If you look

390
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: at those yards per game, the hundred yard rushers obviously

391
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: jumps out ten times and gave up under yard run.

392
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: They gave up the best and only good fantasy performance

393
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: of Ray Rice last year. C J. Spiller Buffalo on

394
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: the road versus the aforemention Chicago Bears. He's an eternal

395
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: sent for me, but FABS, I like the matchup and

396
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: he's healthy. The Bears allowed the second most fantasy focus

397
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: the running backs last year. Twenty two rushing touchdowns allowed

398
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 1: last season, second most in the National Football League. Hey,

399
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: if you're gonna start C. Spiller, you gotta start him

400
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: against a very weak run defense, and that's what the

401
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: Bears are. I'm playing him. I'm not saying he's a

402
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: one or two flex starter to go with c J.

403
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: The one thing that you should keep in mind, uh

404
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: one third of his games last year he scored less

405
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: than four points. So also had that ankle all season long.

406
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: Very true. I'll back him up here. I like him.

407
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: You've been on him all off for the Jackson two

408
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: is a good players of Shirts because he's gonna see

409
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: the goal line work all right, Arian Foster again the

410
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: Texans at home versus Washington. The Redskins not so good defensively,

411
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: namasty or no on Foster. I am playing Arian Foster,

412
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: and I know I've been down on him, but that's

413
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: for the entire season. Be guess we didn't see much

414
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: of him in the preseason, but the Redskins allowed the

415
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: fourth most fantasy points to running backs last year, and

416
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: Foster just said this week that he fears wonderful physically,

417
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: which is good news for fantasy owners, especially if you

418
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: have Foster on your team. Play him this week against

419
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: the Redskins. It's a very very good matchup. Maurice Jones

420
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: Drew makes his debut for Oakland the Raiders on the

421
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: road versus the Jets. A tough matchup. Start or sit

422
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: m j d. I'm sitting him. I don't like this matchup.

423
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 1: What happens when a rookie quarterback plays, Defenses load up

424
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: the box to stop the run, which means Mortgage Jones

425
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: here is gonna see a lot of eight man fronts.

426
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: And he's rushed for sixty or a fewer yards six

427
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: times in his last seven games. In September, Again, we

428
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: go d appear with the stats of the National Football League,

429
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 1: m j D's are risk well plus. I mean, I

430
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: think if you also consider the fact that running a

431
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback out there, that's what I'm saying that that

432
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: is a big time disadvantage stardom. Sit him. You see

433
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: him here, Maurice Jones, Drew, Stephen Jackson, Trent Richardson. I'm

434
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: aut Bishop Sanky, a guy that you've been hiding. But

435
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: don't wait what he's not starting. Sean Green's the guy

436
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: there and until Bishop Sanky takes over that role, which

437
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: I think eventually he will, he's a risk, alright. Michael

Speaker 1: quarterbacks to start and sit. So you play Tony Romo

452
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: against that forty Niners defense. And no, it's not Valentine's Day,

459
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: off a bit towards the latter end of the season

460
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: last year, but that is not to turing you. I

461
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: love Giovanni Bernardi has got one full year of experience

462
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Extreme versatile, a guy who

463
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: can catch fifty balls out of the backfield, give you

464
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: fift scrimmin yards. And I know people are worried because

465
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hills in there. Maybe he's gonna lose some goal

466
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: line work, but he lost gold line work last year

467
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 1: up in Jarvis green Ellis, but not all of it.

468
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: You still saw Geo in some red zone packages. I

469
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: think he is a complete back and a guy that

470
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: if you drafted, start them with confidence. He's breaking out.

471
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: Love it. Marcus Us had a crush on Cordarrel Patterson

472
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: and he wasn't afraid to tell the world about it.

473
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: If you saw yesterday show, Cordell Patterson was on and

474
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: there was a whole lot of fantasy Manlob I'm about

475
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, we really are. It's like a Paul

476
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: McCartney and Michael Jackson sort of thing. Look when when

477
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: North Turner got to Minnesota, the first thing he said

478
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: was he immediately put ten plays in the playbook for

479
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: Corderol Patterson. That guy everybody excited. So far, everything we've

480
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: seen from him in the preseason hasn't given us any

481
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: reason to back off of that. He is going to

482
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: be the undisputed number one wide receiver there for the Vikings,

483
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: and you gotta love the fact that they're gonna find

484
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: ways to get him the ball as a runner as well.

485
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: The opportunity is going to be there. There's so many

486
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: reasons to be excited with. Yeah, listen, I'm not a player.

487
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: I just crushed up. Yeah, yeah, that happened, alright, Elliott.

488
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen burst onto the scene last year, and he's

489
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: not slowing down this year, my friend, No, I don't

490
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: think he is. I mean, while we're talking man love,

491
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: when don I just give a little love for Keenan Allie.

492
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: Hey slow start in the Chargers offense last year for

493
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, slow start period of the season, and then

494
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: he turned it on. I was talking with Rank in

495
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: the newsroom and we can't believe how many people are

496
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: just kind of snoozing on this guy. I mean, everyone

497
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: thinks that Keenan Allen is gonna be decent this year,

498
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: But how good this guy can be. I think you

499
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: can be definitely in the top thirty players in fantasy

500
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: football this year. He's Philip Rivers clear number one. And

501
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: if you do that as a rookie. When you look

502
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: at the history of rookie Wade receivers that had great years,

503
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: these are some of the best players in NFL history.

504
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: All upside, we are very excited about that. Moving on FABS.

505
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, who under the radar a bit last year,

506
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: but he was one of the best rookies in terms

507
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: of production, had an awesome summer the Texans, and you

508
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: expect that to continue. He had eight ow yards, he

509
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: didn't score many touchdowns, only had two. But we see

510
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: that trend of second year wide receivers breaking out. Last year,

511
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: five second year wide receivers had over a thousand yards.

512
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: I think Hopkins is one of those guys in two

513
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen. Let's face if the Texans are likely

514
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: when be coming back from deficits throwing the ball out

515
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: in the second half and one. Patrick's not that bad guys.

516
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not a terrible intelligent It's not going

517
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: to be now, at at least not anytime, not anytime soon.

518
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: Mallett needs to learn the playbook. But I really do

519
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: like Hopkins. And Andre Johnson is not twenty five years

520
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: old anymore. I mean, this is your twelve for him.

521
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: You're twelve, yes, good point? All right, Marcus, Let's get

522
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: to my guy. Let's do Eddie Lacey. I drafted him

523
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: with the number two pick in two drafts our NFL

524
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live and nfl A And please tell me why

525
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: I'm a very wise woman because you drafted Eddie Lacy.

526
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: That's why you're a wise woman. I mean that among

527
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: other reasons, but you you like that. And he's gonna

528
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: have a huge year this year. Look, he was so

529
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: great last year as a rookie and he's been a

530
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: lot of his work. Aaron Rodgers was out of the

531
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: lineup and teams were really scheming to stop the run.

532
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: Now Rogers is back, hopefully a healthy group of wide

533
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: receivers to go along with him. That means you can't

534
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: stack the box against Eddie Lacy. Plus, I love the

535
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: fact that the preseason he was calling himself Moss because

536
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: he says his hands are so great. Now. I don't

537
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: know how Packer fan feels about him preparing himself to

538
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: Randy Moss, but you got a little the fact, let's

539
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: dude is confidence in his hands and what he can

540
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: do catching the football. Eddie Lacy is going to have

541
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: any enormous season. I say, be your own guy, but hey,

542
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: that's just me, So no sophomore slumps here. We were

543
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: really feeling the love today. We should maybe all have

544
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: an auto pick in my Fantasy Live draft taking Eddie

545
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: lay before you. There you go, Okay, I see what

546
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: you did there. Thank you guys, so much good stuff.

547
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: Let's go from sophomores to sleepers and give it to

548
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: Adam Rank for his Week one sleepers. Hey Adam, Hey everybody,

549
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: Adam Rank here and every Wednesday I provide eleven sleepers

550
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: who can help you win your week. It's a little

551
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: column I like to call Ranks eleven. You can check

552
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: that out at NFL dot com. But right now, what

553
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: do you say to me giving you three? All? Too bad?

554
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it anyways. We're gonna start with Mark Ingram. Yes,

555
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: Saints running back is leading off Ranks eleven this week.

556
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: I understand your hesitation here because you know it's the Saints,

557
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, the team that scores the most fantasy points

558
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: and yet has the fewest reliable fantasy starters. And listen,

559
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: the Saints running backs are the biggest defenders. But we

560
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: can't ignore what Ingram was able to do during the preseason.

561
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: Dude looked explosive, and dare I say it, He's gonna

562
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: live up the expectations. So go ahead and get him

563
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: in your lineup and feel safe about it. My next sleeper,

564
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: it's Carson Palmer. Yes, there was a time not too

565
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: long ago when Carson and I would kicking in at

566
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: Guahu's and Saint Clementing eating fish talk
