1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Most valuable commandity I know of his information.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you agree on five dollars?

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 3: This is a rale up happy.

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: You're saying that humans need fantasy to make life bearable.

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 4: Humans need fantasy to be human.

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: My goodness, misspeak Kisa, prone, bets, relentless, refusing to give up.

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 4: All right, hit that horre very. Bless theirs.

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,960

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: one questions. I am so happy to be joined by

13
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Fantasy pecs.

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: Aw, Samantha, Thank you for having me. Thank you for

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 3: having me after one of my most brutal Fantasy days

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: of the season.

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 4: I might need some therapy today.

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: I was literally just going to ask where I botched

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: the name of the podcast, Fantasy Flax. How was your

20
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: week eight? Because my week it was not great, So

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: I was hoping to hear that your week eight was good,

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: at least a good week.

23
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 3: You know what, there were some silver linings I will

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 3: find some silver linings.

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 4: But as a Bengal.

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 3: Fan, we were We had a nice little reality check

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: or reality check. Actually, I was so conflicted watching the

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: game because I mean, I was down my room for

29
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 3: the Bengals, but I'm also went to I went to

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: college at Western Kentucky, which is where Mike White is from.

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: So in any other scenario, I would have been rooting

32
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: my butt off for this guy, because you know, I

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 3: watched him there the Hilltoppers. But it was pretty disappointing there.

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: And then obviously the buzzkilled Monday with Derek Henry on

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: my Scott Fish Bull team, who last week I jinxed it.

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: I finally started talking about how good of a season

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: I was having. I was like thirteenth overall, Well, thirteen

38
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 3: was an unlucky number, apparently, had I already had Lamar

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: Jackson and Mark Andrew on by this week.

40
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: And then Derek Henry gets hurt.

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: So my SFB Fish Bowl aspirations they're fading quickly here.

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: Samantha, I was that was the first question that I

43
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: was going to have for you, was about your Scott

44
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 2: Fish Bull team, because I don't know anyone that's made

45
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: it that high up so that is awesome.

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: Well, in twenty eighteen, like I had my greatest fantasy

47
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: team in three decades of play in fantasy was my

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen scott Fish Bowl team.

49
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 4: I went undefeated.

50
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: I literally was the top scorer in the regular season

51
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 3: by like two hundred points, and I was thinking that

52
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: this team was almost going to be as good as

53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 3: that team. So yeah, it was pretty deflating.

54
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: Today, that's awesome. I mean I am not doing super

55
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: hot in scott Fish. I would I would say that

56
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: last year. I don't know if it was beginner's luck,

57
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: but I did pretty well. Like I think I only

58
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: had one or two regular season losses. So I got

59
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: the first round by and then I lost in the

60
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: second round.

61
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, if I remember correcting, did you have to

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: like a first number one overall pick in your draft

63
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: or something.

64
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 4: That I have never talked about your Scott Fish Bull

65
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 4: draft somewhere else.

66
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: I had the number one pick this year, Okay, wasn't

67
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: as exciting because of the number one third run reversal

68
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: and the number two I took CMC. So my season

69
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: has not been ideal.

70
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey went down a lot earlier than Derek Henry.

71
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, not an ideal. I had drafted Cuba Hubbard, which

72
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: obviously good but not great. And I just like a

73
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: lot of the guys that I took, I feel like

74
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: they were just they've been like unimpressive. Also, the number.

75
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 4: Reversal is interesting.

76
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: I'm not a huge fan of it, but I've done

77
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 3: it in other high stakes formats and stuff, so it

78
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: did come in helpful.

79
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: But I don't know why they did it.

80
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: They invented third round reversal to like counter react to

81
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: Ladanian Tomlinson during his greatness, but I feel like it's

82
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: no longer necessary, so I leave without the Scott Fish

83
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: to throw.

84
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 4: Some additional layer is in there to confuse.

85
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: Us, definitely an additional layer. And the scoring is all

86
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: so funky. I have Kyle Pits in that league, which

87
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: I got lambasted for taking Kyle Pits at four oh one.

88
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that that was that early for a

89
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: tight end premium league. And obviously the first couple of

90
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: weeks people were victory lapping a lot of in one

91
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: way or the other.

92
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 4: On Kyle Pittsy it is unfortunate.

93
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, the news of Calvin Ridley and his

94
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: mental health I mean, we obviously want him to get

95
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: himself right, but from Kyle Pitts standpoint, I mean, he's

96
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 3: gonna he's going to be a player that definitely, that's

97
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: going to hurt a little bit because there's a lot

98
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 3: more attention being paid to him if Calvin Ridley's off

99
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: the field. But man, I mean, Calvin Ridley a personal

100
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: issue again, It's like, you really hate to see that.

101
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: I'm glad he's actually has the support system to be

102
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: able to try to try to get that right. But

103
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: it's going to be interesting to see what that does

104
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: to Kyle Pits because I have some Kyle pitch shares

105
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: in some high places too.

106
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 4: And the first day of you know.

107
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: He did pretty good without Ridley in previous games, but

108
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: it wasn't the case yesterday.

109
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like where I had Kyle Pits, it

110
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: was like a go big or go home type league

111
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: where's not really going You're not really going safe in

112
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: scott Fish like that doesn't necessarily make sense.

113
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 3: You're getting blasted for taking Kyle Pitts there though, and

114
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 3: nobody's saying anything about the people taking George Kittle in

115
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: the same spot, and look at his durability concerns.

116
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: These are not new things.

117
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: I know.

118
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: It's so unfair like that, like, oh, everybody puts these

119
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 4: pressure on his picks.

120
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: And I feel like Kyle Pitts is one of those

121
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 3: people that you either got him or you were like

122
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 3: making fun of, like people that took him in spots

123
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: and like talking smacks and we'll see, we'll see.

124
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 4: I'm still all in on it.

125
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: A lot of smack talking in the fantasy space. But

126
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: let us just hop right into questions. So my first

127
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: question is what year did you start playing Fantasy? And

128
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: did you win your first time?

129
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: Goodness, I think we start scoring it on the advocates

130
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: back then. I'm old, Samantha, I'm old. No, we started.

131
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 3: I started playing Fantasy in nineteen ninety. Actually I was

132
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: in high school at the time, and we had to

133
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: score it by hand. I'll never I always tell the

134
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: story that, like I was literally in this doss computer

135
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: programming class. They were teaching us like all this outdated language,

136
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: and I got kept getting in trouble for scoring the

137
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: game by hand with the USA today, and I was

138
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: getting detention. And my mom, I mean, God rest her soul,

139
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: but like she really laid into me. She's like, you

140
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 3: better start paying attention to that computer class. You're never

141
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: going to make a dime off of this fantasy football stuff.

142
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: And here I was, I'm like, DAWs is outdated, and

143
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: I get paid to talk about football every week. So

144
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: I was like, Mom would be proud now. But yes,

145
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 3: it's been a long time. Things have changed quite a

146
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: bit for the better. But it was fun back then still,

147
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 3: So you know, the same premise of talking smack, beating

148
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 3: your friends watching football for a whole different reason. I

149
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: think all those things got on and now here we.

150
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: Are today and did you win that league? That was

151
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: my well back.

152
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 3: Then, I want all the time, And the reason is, seriously,

153
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 3: this is this is true, and most other commissioners of

154
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: that time will tell you the same thing as the

155
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: guy that spent four hours a week crunching it by hand,

156
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: the game, the scores of each game. I was so

157
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: dialed into the stats that and in the info it

158
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: wasn't readily available that I mean, it was an unfair advantage,

159
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: but one that I enjoyed.

160
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: I enjoyed the unfair advantage.

161
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: It lasted, But today informations everywhere, which is both good

162
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: and bad, is I guess it depends on if it's

163
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: good or bad information.

164
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:32,559
Speaker 4: I should listen.

165
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: Huh, fair enough, Well, that is very cool that you

166
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: won your first league. What are the best, worst, best,

167
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: and worst parts about playing fantasy football for you?

168
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: Well, I think the best part of playing fantasy for anybody,

169
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: it really is just the connection it gives you the

170
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: players and the games. And as a Bengal fan here

171
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati, I mean, it was good when I was

172
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: growing up as a kid. I mean, Joe Montana made

173
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: me cry a couple times in the Super Bowl. But

174
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: in the nineties, I mean, if it wasn't for fantasy

175
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: football discovering it, I might have lost being a fan

176
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: of football.

177
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: The Bengals were terrible.

178
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: And I think the best part is how it connects

179
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 3: the fans to the game and fans to each other.

180
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 4: I mean you and me.

181
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: We meet here because of this great world, and I

182
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: mean hundreds of friends that I've met since I've been

183
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: working in professionally since two thousand and three. And I

184
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: will say that the worst part of it is sometimes

185
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: it also for the same things that are good, it

186
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 3: creates bad things.

187
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: I mean shamefully.

188
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: I mean I've got a couple friends of mine that well,

189
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: I thought they were friends, but like you know, as

190
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: a commission in leakus, it just like screw you out

191
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 3: of like a hundred bucks. It's like I'd rather not

192
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 3: pay that two hundred dollars I owe you and stop

193
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: being your friend. It's like those are the disappointing things,

194
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: or you know, even just seeing people like treat other

195
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: people in not nice ways in general.

196
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 4: Like you know, I think.

197
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 3: Sometimes people take it a little too serious, like you

198
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: should not be involved in a lead where you cannot

199
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: afford to lose the money want. But it's like, you

200
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 3: know what it is meant to be fun, so when

201
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 3: you let it start rolling in your day or.

202
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: Or the way that you are with other people.

203
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 3: I think we all have seen the negative side of

204
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: Fantasy Potball.

205
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. I think when you're playing in leagues with

206
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: people like it, save that crazy competitiveness and maybe toxic

207
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: masculinity for when you're playing dfs and you like that's

208
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: like that's like for that. I think that when you're

209
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: actually playing leagues, you have to remember that you are

210
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: playing with people and generally you know those people. Yeah,

211
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: the way to success is not like just screwing people

212
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: out of trades and things like that, because it is

213
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: about relationships. In my opinion, I think it's all about relationships.

214
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 3: My cost Potato Football League. This is like we're in

215
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 3: our twenty first season. There's like a couple of my friends,

216
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: they don't even live in the same city anymore. That's

217
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 3: the one time of year they come into for the game,

218
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: and or not for the game, but for the draft,

219
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: and you know, we're all sitting there together, and that's cool.

220
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: There's hometown leads, there's hometown experiences. Now, I will say

221
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: that as much as I enjoy hometownlings, I do enjoy

222
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: all the online stuff too, because there's a lot more

223
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: people because of those tools that I've gotten to compete against.

224
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 3: It never would have been possible years ago.

225
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really really cool just to meet and connect

226
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: with so so many people from It's just even Scott

227
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Fish who was on this twenty one Questions last week.

228
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: He is literally the reason that I've connected with so

229
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: so many people. So that kind of connection is really

230
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: really great and invaluable and really fantasy for me is

231
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: the way that I got into football at all. Now

232
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: I really do feel like I'm a fan of the game,

233
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: but I didn't get into it the traditional way where

234
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: I loved the Bengals or the Patriots or anything like that,

235
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: and then found a way into fantasy.

236
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 4: That probably better for.

237
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 3: You, though, because you don't have the bias of your

238
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 3: favorite team or your least favorite team, because it's not

239
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: just a Bengal fan. I hate the Stealer, right, It's

240
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 3: like it's built into me naturally. Now I know you're

241
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: dating a Browns fan right put out on Twitter, and well,

242
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: I still agree to come on the podcast for that.

243
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: But you know, the Browns are right up there with

244
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: the Steelers. Samantha's like, we don't really like Browns fans,

245
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: but we feel at least we can relate to Browns

246
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: fans because sort of like Bengal fans are like lovable losers.

247
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 3: You know, it's been a long time. The Steelers, they

248
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: win stuff and talk a lot of smacks, so they're fans.

249
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 4: We don't like them. We don't like them.

250
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: Well, so I do not like the Patriots, I would

251
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: say if I did, like, I do have a little

252
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: bit of an anti Patriots bias because I grew up

253
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: in Rhode Island, which I was actually a Yankees fan

254
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: growing up, so I could not like anything Boston, and

255
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: like that was the Yankees fan.

256
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 4: I could get that.

257
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: I was the same way, but like I sort of

258
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: got a man crush on Grounk like early days, and

259
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: it's really manifested itself over recent years. But like so

260
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 3: I routed it once once he got more involved, like

261
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: I started reforms. I'm not a Patriots fan, but I'm

262
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: not a.

263
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: Hater, so I will say the boyfriend was insufferable. Yesterday

264
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: after the loss of the.

265
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: Brown's don't like losing to the steel Is just as

266
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: much as I didn't like losing to this stewers.

267
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: Is Bengo fan didn't want to talk about it, but

268
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: then like at some point he was yelling about like

269
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: how Miles Garrett never gets holding calls, how everyone's cheating

270
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: and there's bad.

271
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 5: All right, Well, jumping into the actual football stuff, We're

272
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 5: going to kick it off with a quick segment called

273
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 5: the burn Buck, which is of course a mean girls reference.

274
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: As fantasy managers, it's so easy to have recency bias,

275
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: especially if a player has burned us, either due to

276
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: injuries or a bad week. So I'm going to run

277
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: through five players, and I'd like you to briefly tell

278
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: us how confident you are in that player moving forward,

279
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: or if they are in your burn book. So the

280
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: first player is Trevor Lawrence. I thought this was going

281
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: to be a solid game for Tila against Seattle's defense,

282
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: which has had been allowing these six months passing yards

283
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: going into that game. It was pretty much a dud

284
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: for Lawrence. He completed thirty two of fifty four for

285
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty eight yards, one touchdown, win, interception.

286
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: He was drafted as a fringe top twelve quarterback but

287
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: has only finished top twelve twice. So are we maybe

288
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: a year or two early on Lawrence as a fantasy

289
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: asset and it's he kind of in the burn book

290
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: right now.

291
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was disappointed too, Like you, I was expecting

292
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 3: a little more out of Jacksonville coming out of the

293
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 3: bye But I'm not an Urban Ira fan. I've never

294
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: been an Urban Ira fan, and I certainly was skeptical

295
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 3: of this experience just based off of all these other

296
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 3: great college coaches that have failed before him. But Trevor Lawrence,

297
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: I mean to me, it was hard to believe coming

298
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: out of the bye week, how dysfunctional this offense looked

299
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 3: I mean, it was brutal, and it's not all his fault.

300
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 3: Receivers are dropping things and the James Robinson injury is.

301
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 4: Only going to create more obstacles for him.

302
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 3: Luckily, it doesn't sound like that's a season ender, but

303
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: it could be a couple of weeks. Here what the

304
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: wash and sea with news develops as a week ago,

305
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 3: But just looking ahead for Trevor Lawrence, I had to

306
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: make this decision honestly because I've got him as a

307
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: backup in this league. Were have Kyler Murray and I'm

308
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 3: looking at the options here next schedule over the next

309
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: five weeks.

310
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 4: Sam, He's got Buffalo next week. That's the word.

311
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 3: One of the worst matchups for a quarterback at Indy

312
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 3: San fran Atlanta not too bad, then at La Rams

313
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: no plus matchups too brutal over the next five all

314
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 3: those other factors like I don't know if it's going

315
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 3: to turn around.

316
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I think maybe this is next.

317
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 3: Year that maybe we see t LOL come into his own.

318
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: I guess I do agree that I was pretty down

319
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: on the Jags because of urban Meyer going into the season,

320
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: and just like I just felt they weren't going to

321
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: be that like zero to hero team that I think

322
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people were pumping them up. As that said,

323
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: I did think that Trevor Lawrence was talented enough to

324
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: kind of overcome some of those obstacles.

325
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: They lost two weapons too, I mean DJ Shark, big

326
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: loss there and then Travis Etm. We never really got

327
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: to see what he was going to be in this offense.

328
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, they do play a pretty weak division, so

329
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: you have that going for you. But I think he's

330
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: gonna really have a hard time being a top twenty

331
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: QB here at twenty twenty one.

332
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: Agree, So I think he is going to the burn

333
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: adjacent book, at least for me. Yes, next you're going

334
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: into we're going to talk about Terry McLaurin. He's just

335
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: been really unpredictable this year, like he is this year's

336
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: DJ Moore, though DJ Moore has turned into last year's

337
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: Djmore a little bit too. But just three catches for

338
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: twenty three yards this week? Are we burning him? As

339
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, a wide receiver one high and wide receiver two.

340
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: I feel it's not totally his fault because the offense

341
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: is dysfunctional, but in the end, it's only results that

342
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: matter for him.

343
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 4: You're right.

344
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 3: You're right, and I do think that it's been disappointing

345
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: and it is concerning. I mean, you're talking about the

346
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 3: season low three catches, as you talked about just seven targets.

347
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: He's failed to get double digit PPR points in three

348
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: of his last four games, so that is a concern.

349
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: But I think you hit it on the head. For

350
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: me is it's not all his fault. Taylor Heineke has

351
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: looked a little rough here, Antonio Gibson, He's not been

352
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: one hundred percent. There's something clearly wrong with him. I

353
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 3: know he's on your list too, But for me, this

354
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: bye week comes at a good time.

355
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 4: For Terry McLaurin.

356
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: I know he took him off the end of your report,

357
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: but just that extra week maybe maybe with that and

358
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: there is some optimism that then a week, you know,

359
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 3: next couple of weeks, maybe Ryan Fitzpatrick comes back. I mean,

360
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: that's two be determined. That could definitely give him a

361
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: boot because Taylor Heineke just not getting it done. But

362
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: I'm still in on him as at least as a

363
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 3: wide receiver. Too high end the target volumes there. We've

364
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: seen him do it before, so I'm sticking. I'm sticking

365
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: with it, but definitely a good time for a bye

366
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: week and hopefully a strong finish for the Washington wide out.

367
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: You know. Steeking of Taylor Heinekee. This was one of

368
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: my worst fantasy lineup manager decisions that it made all week.

369
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: I started Taylor Heineke over justin fields in a league

370
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: where like rushing quarterbacks get a ton of points, and.

371
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 4: I get to kick yourself on that one.

372
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: I was so annoyed. This is a league where I

373
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: lost Russ and like it's a sixteen team league. No

374
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: one likes to trade in that league either gamers are

375
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: tough man tough and it's it's deep benches, like we

376
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: have like ten bench spots, so like no one's available

377
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: on waivers, is my point. So I mean, yeah, I

378
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: mean it was actually that decision, and that was unsure.

379
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: Fitzpatrick already in that league or you just gotta because

380
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: I mean I think he might not be starting in

381
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks.

382
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: I think Fitzpatrick is rostered in that league and in

383
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: like an ir so you might only be able to

384
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: get like Davis Mills, and even then, like that's that

385
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: made absolutely all right. Moving on to Javonte Williams. So

386
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: he is one of those like fantasy darlings, maybe a

387
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,239
Speaker 1: little bit more on like the dynasty side. But as

388
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: much as we all seem to want it to be

389
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: Javante season, I'm just not sure it's going to happen

390
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: this year. He's finished better than Melvin Gordon twice for

391
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: Fantasy for two weeks and has only out snapped Gordon

392
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: once all year, So right now it's looking like a

393
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: fifty five to forty five split. Is Williams kind of

394
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: in your burn book? And are you just kind of

395
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: writing this off to he's the next year asset?

396
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 3: I still think he's going to have a chance here.

397
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: And it's interesting because you're you're in Bronco land out there.

398
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 3: I mean, what's what's I mean? Is everybody pumped up

399
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 3: about him in your part of the woods there just

400
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: from a Bronco standpoint as fantasy owners are, or is

401
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: it just the fantasy universe that thinks it's happening because

402
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. To me, he passes of the eyeball tests,

403
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 3: he checks a lot of boxes, but until Gordon's out

404
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: of the mix, it's not going to be an injury.

405
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 4: Maybe the trade deadline. I don't know that.

406
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: I mean a trade deadline is today Tuesday, I should say,

407
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 3: when you know. This podcast is out and hit. So

408
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 3: there aren't a lot of rumors out there that would

409
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 3: be interesting. Though the Broncos are pretty much done, why

410
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: not let Wyke's got in Tennessee pick up the phone

411
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 3: and talk to talk to them about Melvin Gordon. That'd

412
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 3: be a win for him and be a win for Williams.

413
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 3: But eleven touches per eleven point two touches per game,

414
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 3: eleven touches this week, and the problem is Gordon's find

415
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: his way to the end zone. He's got five touchdowns

416
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 3: to his two, and both of them are fumbling the football.

417
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 3: That's the biggest concern. I don't think you can count

418
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 3: on Williams just yet, but I do think coleheartedly that

419
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 3: he's a guy that could win Fantasy League still this year.

420
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 4: So I'm old onto him and not getting ready to

421
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 4: on the cheap.

422
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 3: And I think he's a guy that, if things go

423
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: as I expect, could push to be in my top

424
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 3: twelve at running back in twenty twenty two.

425
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 4: So I'm still on board here.

426
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: I'm just pumping the Brakes a little bit on how

427
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 3: much I'm getting him into the lineup right now.

428
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, two things. So one with the sentiment of the

429
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: Broncos Country I a friend of the podcast, Benjamin Albright,

430
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: who is on Broncos Country today on KOA eight fifty,

431
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: He has been telling me he drafted Gordon over like

432
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: two rounds before Williams or something like that. And yeah,

433
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: so he is all in on Gordon. He was the

434
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: whole time saying that that was the plan, that the

435
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: plan was for them to go into like a sixty

436
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: forty split this season, and it's just a next year

437
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,479
Speaker 1: thing that they're going to use Gordon for the final

438
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: year of his contract. And it's just that, like they

439
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: don't play football in the way that is most beneficial

440
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: for us as fantasy man.

441
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 3: Well, you have to wonder as the Broncos really get

442
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: out of the mix though, and it's not too far

443
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 3: from happening, is they really are? Just there're seasons over,

444
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 3: like what's the benefit other than maybe saving mileage? I

445
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 3: guess you know the tire, you know not. But it's

446
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 3: like Melvin Gordon is like why, I mean, what what

447
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 3: good is it? I would say late in the season

448
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: when the chips are down, the Broncos are out of it,

449
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 3: they're going to get I think that you'll see them

450
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 3: give William some long looks there. That's that's my thought.

451
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 3: I was just my own personal thought. I mean, it's

452
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 3: nothing that I have inside connections.

453
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 4: Stupid.

454
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: I don't think the Denver coaches. I mean, they're so terrible.

455
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: It's like this clearly is that well No, I mean

456
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: you just have to watch the game and you're like, gosh,

457
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 3: this guy is a person that can come in and

458
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: electrify this offense.

459
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 4: It's struggling right now. I don't know. Right now, you

460
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 4: can't put him in your lineups.

461
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: He's still finding his way into my rankings though, on

462
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 3: a weekly basis as a fringe top twenty five RB

463
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: and on some teams that is started worthy. So uh,

464
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: in the spots I have him, I'm pretty deep. So

465
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 3: he's just sitting on my bench like a you know,

466
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 3: just waiting for him to come out at the right time.

467
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: Samantha, I uh yeah. And the second thing I was

468
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: going to say is I literally filed this the whole

469
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: Gordon to the Titans thing just to one of my

470
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: editors this morning. I was like, who.

471
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 3: Says no, Well, it was rather Marlon Mack or you know,

472
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 3: Adrian Peterson or Melvin Gordon.

473
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean, ekly, like your season's over and they're already

474
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: in the trading mood, right, like sending Von Miller to

475
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: the ram Rams.

476
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 3: Like the Rams, they don't have any draft I don't

477
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 3: even have draft picks left. It's like the Rams that

478
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: make every trade, but all these other teams it's like

479
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: they can't fill these needs.

480
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: So I literally was like, I can't believe they even

481
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: have draft picks to give himway this.

482
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: Point, it's like you think they're on like twenty twenty

483
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: seven by now, it's like maybe they had a second

484
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: round or next year.

485
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'm still holding on to luck that Williams.

486
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm still holding on to hope that Williams will kind

487
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: of be one of those stars in the fantasy playoffs.

488
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: But for now he is sitting on my bench.

489
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 3: I will say this because there are people panicking. He's

490
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 3: a Bilo guy. So if you could put some cheap

491
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 3: ball offers out there to especially those Williams owners in

492
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 3: your leagues with losing records right now, they need instant gratification.

493
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: They can't afford to wait.

494
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: So that's those are the types of traits that wins

495
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 3: fantasy leagues agreed.

496
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: All right. The next guy we're going to talk about.

497
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: You already mentioned him, Antonio Gibson. It has been rough

498
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: for Gibson managers over the last three weeks. Over that span,

499
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: he is RB thirty nine and half PPR, obviously recovering

500
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: from this shin injury, which at first I didn't think

501
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: was going to be a big problem. I know that

502
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: sounds weird because like, of course it's a big problem,

503
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: but he said, you know, it's not a big deal.

504
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 1: He got twenty carries in that game right after it

505
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: came out that he had that shit injury. So I

506
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: was thinking, oh, like, he's just going to play through

507
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: it just a fleshmood. But obviously he's being hampered by

508
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: it at this point. So is he in your burn

509
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: book right now until he gets healthy or how do

510
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: you feel about him right now?

511
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really hard to endorse as a fantasy starter

512
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 3: right now.

513
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 4: And I think.

514
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: Some of the things we talked about with McLaurin hold

515
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 3: true to him, right, I mean, heinike struggled. I think

516
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 3: for me, the biggest thing is I was really anticipating

517
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 3: that the Washington football team and that defense would be

518
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 3: pretty elite.

519
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 4: Coming into the season, and although they.

520
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 3: Looked better the last couple of weeks, they're just not

521
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 3: controlling the games as much as I would like to

522
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: have seen. So what that's leading to is more passing

523
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: down work, and with this injury, that's led the door

524
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 3: to the Kissick getting that action. But I mean, looking

525
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 3: at him, I mean Jared Patterson led Washington with eleven

526
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: carries yesterday. I mean that tells me that it sounds

527
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,239
Speaker 3: as the game flow situation. But RB thirty five and

528
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 3: once again another guy he's failed to hit double digit

529
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: PPR points in three straight game, so you're an athletic

530
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: player way back into his lineup.

531
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 4: I loved Gibson coming into the season.

532
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 3: Actually, I was really moving him up my board in

533
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 3: those late August drafts, and I couldn't get my hands

534
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 3: on it because he was getting gobbled up so early

535
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 3: in those drafts, and it wasn't by choice. But now

536
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 3: I'm sort of like thankful that I missed out a

537
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 3: little bit on how much I actually liked the guy

538
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: at that point of the draft season. So I really

539
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 3: hope he gets his shin healthy and this offense can

540
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 3: get a little healthier because I think he is a

541
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 3: special player and just needs the right system and scenario

542
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 3: for it all to come to light here on the

543
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: fantasy stat sheets.

544
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. He was the guy that I was

545
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: fairly high on. I don't think I necessarily reached for him,

546
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: but I was fairly high on in terms of the

547
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: articles I was writing about him, and I do think

548
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: it is just a matter of one. Losing Ryan Fitzpatrick

549
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: very early in the season, I think put him and

550
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: hurt the whole team into like you said, with the defense,

551
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: putting them in negative game screen doesn't really favor a

552
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: lot of rushing. And then three, of course, the injury,

553
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: which is unpredictable like that. Those things just happen. So

554
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,959
Speaker 1: it's a series of unfortunate events for Gibson managers at

555
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: this point. But I am still very convinced that he

556
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: is an extremely talented guy that will at least be

557
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: an asset probably down the road. All right, our final

558
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: guy in the Burden Book segment is going to be

559
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee. This should have been the Higbee game, the

560
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: Monster game, but he just caught three of three targets

561
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: for twenty five yards and finished as tight end twenty three. Obviously,

562
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford and Cooper Cup are just like the hard

563
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: eyes emojis to each other, and it's a little bit

564
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: difficult for some of these other guys. Hasn't scored a

565
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: touchdown since Week five and has two scores all year.

566
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: Are we burning Higbee as a usable tight end one?

567
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 4: Well, the problem is who we replace him with? Right?

568
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 4: I mean we're all frustrated. We are.

569
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: I mean I had him a lot of DFS lineups

570
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: yesterday and so I think we all expect it to

571
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 3: better in the matchup against the Texans, But it seems

572
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 3: like Higbee when the matchups come, they're just so hit

573
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 3: or miss. But again, it's like what am I comparing against.

574
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: I don't think this is a guy that's a top

575
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 3: eight tight end for me in many weeks, but he

576
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 3: is a tight end one. And when you get to

577
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 3: the back end part of that, it's roll the dice,

578
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 3: take your chances.

579
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 4: I'm with you.

580
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 3: I think this is Cooper Cups offense and everybody else

581
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 3: that gets any production out of it is going to

582
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 3: be pretty inconsistent. And I think too with the Rams.

583
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: You know, if they have it their way, they get

584
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 3: a lot in these games so much, and now with

585
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: another weapon in this defense laden games, they're going to

586
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 3: be hopefully with the lead and pounding the rock a

587
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 3: little bit. So game flow is sort of hurt a

588
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 3: little bit here as well in some cases. So Higbee's

589
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 3: a friends tight end one to me, I don't think

590
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 3: that's changed really all season.

591
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to change the rest of

592
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 4: the way.

593
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah's your point. It is a health gape, and it's

594
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: very difficult. You're like, oh, well, he's definitely on top.

595
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: Twelve guy, We'll name twelve guys that are better. I know,

596
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: you really can't at this, Saint. It's really tough. I mean,

597
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: for even this week I picked up Tanyan off waivers things.

598
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 4: It was looking good for a minute.

599
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: It was looking good for a minute. You're right, and

600
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: unfortunate obviously season ending and you get cj Uzama.

601
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm either going to have three veges for

602
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 3: ninety seven yards or two touchdowns or he won't even

603
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 3: get targeted.

604
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: But I mean I picked him up this week too,

605
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: and of course like this is the week I pick

606
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: him up and start him, and it was a disappointing week,

607
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: but such as the tight end position. Next up here

608
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: in the Fantasy Flex is our elite entry segments, where

609
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: I am going to dive into the price six app

610
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: to build some entries. I'm going to identify some markets.

611
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: I like you both your own CHRISTI centuries and all

612
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: of us have a little fun and make some money.

613
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: So today I'm going to look at four week nine

614
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: quarterback plays on prize picks. So the first minute that

615
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: I like, I know you're going to cringe is Mike

616
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: White over two hundred and forty five and a half

617
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: passing yards on the road in Indy. I get it.

618
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: This probably seems like a massive overreaction to the Jets

619
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: somehow pulling off an upset against the Bengals. But White

620
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: actually looks quite good. You know. He completed thirty seven

621
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: of forty five passes for four hundred and five yards,

622
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: three touchdowns and two interceptions in his first NFL Star.

623
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: That is nothing to sneeze that given how Zach Wilson

624
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: has looked. I mean, it's the same exact team, but

625
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: Wilson hasn't put up nearly that production. He had nine

626
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: more Fantasy points and then Wilson has had all year.

627
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: It's definitely his job. Until Zack Wilson gets back, I

628
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: don't think we'll see any Joe Flacco sprinkled in there,

629
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: and he gets a plush Week nine matchup against the

630
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: cult secondary, which has been very exploitable this season. The

631
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: next play that I like is Mac Jones under two

632
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: hundred thirty five and a half passing yards on the

633
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: road in Carolina. I am going to just keep it

634
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: rolling with Mac Jones unders. He went well under the

635
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: two hundred forty, the two hundred and fifty five mark

636
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: last week, and I think he's going to go two

637
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five against Carolina. The Panthers have been

638
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: super solid against the pass, and they finally have steph

639
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: On Gilmore going. So this team is allowing the second

640
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: most passing yards all year. It's a one hundred and

641
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: eighty nine, second only to the Bills. Jones would have

642
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: gone under this number in three of the last four games.

643
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: The only game that he would have hit the over

644
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: two hundred thirty five would be the one against the

645
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: Jets where they blew up for fifty four points, which

646
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: I think is unlikely against Carolina, so I am going

647
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: under there. Another one I like is Jalen Hurts under

648
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifteen and a half passing yards at

649
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: home versus the Chargers. This is a tiny number, I know,

650
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: and the Eagles are coming off of a huge blowout

651
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: win over the lowly Lions, but almost none of that

652
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: had to do with Jalen hurts performance. In fact, we

653
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: actually saw Gardner Minshew in this game for the first time,

654
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: which should concern fantasy managers. Hurts pass for just one

655
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: hundred and three yards in the effort on fourteen attempts,

656
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: and has gone under two hundred yards in four games

657
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: this year, three of the last four. In fact, this

658
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: week the Eagles face the Chargers, who are allowing the

659
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: fifth fewest passing yards her name at two hundred and

660
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: three point one, so I think this easily goes under

661
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: in my opinion. The last one that I like is

662
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan under two hundred and sixty five and a

663
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: half passing yards on the road versus the Saints. Just

664
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: when it looked like it was starting like the Falcons

665
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: who were getting things going turning things around on the

666
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: passing game, Ryan definitely came crashing back down to Earth.

667
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: He had just one hundred and forty six passing yards,

668
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: one touchdown, and two interceptions against the struggling Panthers that

669
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: were just lit up by the Giants. It also looks like,

670
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: unfortunately he's going to be without Calvin Ridley for the

671
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: rest of the year, who's dealing with some personal issues,

672
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: which I think is really going to hurt Matt Ryan

673
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: in terms of just passing production. So I am going

674
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: to go under two hundred and sixty five and a half. Also,

675
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,959
Speaker 1: the Falcons face the Saints, which they have been somewhat

676
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: exploitable against the past, but are keeping games super low scoring,

677
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: averaging just eighteen point three points per game. So just

678
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: don't like Matt Ryan and the Falcons in this game,

679
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: all right. That is our elite entry today, going with

680
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: Mike White over two hundred forty five and half passing

681
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: yards on the road in Indy, Mac Jones under two

682
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: hundred thirty five and half passing yards on the road

683
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: in Carolina, Jalen Hurts under two hundred fifteen and a

684
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: half passing yards at home versus the Chargers, and Matt

685
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: Ryan under two hundred sixty five and a half passing

686
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: yards on the Road versus the Saints. As a reminder,

687
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: you can mix Matt Fantasy points to make your lineups

688
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: is super spicy, mix them with player props, do whatever. Also,

698
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: moving here on twenty one Questions with Dan Klaskins. All right,

699
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: that'll do it for the burn book. Our next segment

700
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: is called full send or that's cap. So full send

701
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: is kind of a it's not necessarily a ski reference,

702
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: but maybe an extreme sport reference. You are going full send.

703
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: We're jumping into the fire pit, like going head first, whatever,

704
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: sending the trick. And then that's cap. Obviously the opposite.

705
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: It's not real, it's a mirage or whatever. So I'm

706
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: going to give you five players whose values are on

707
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: the rise, and I want to know, are you sending

708
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: it on this player or is that cap So our

709
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: first player is Mike White, who is a guy that's

710
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: close to your heart. I know this is probably a

711
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: wild overreaction after just beating your Bengals thirty seven of

712
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: forty five for four hundred and five yards, three touchdowns

713
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: and two interceptions. That is nine more fantasy points than

714
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson has scored all year. Are you going full

715
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: send on White as the Jets QB one and a

716
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: potential streamer in you know, two quarterbacks super flex leagues.

717
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think in those formats, certainly he's gonna be

718
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 3: somebody who gonna look at this week.

719
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 4: But it's just a short tournament.

720
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: I mean, Zach Wilson is the guy you don't spend

721
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 3: the number two overall pick. But it was funny, Samantha,

722
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 3: and I'll age myself badly here, but I remember Bengal

723
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 3: game back in the early nineties. The Bengals of that

724
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 3: season were actually two and oh they were looking pretty good,

725
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 3: and they're playing the Packers, and they had this quarterback

726
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 3: Don Mkowski, the magic Man, And I was even playing fantasy. Actually,

727
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 3: I had Don Mkowski on my fantasy team that day,

728
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 3: and sure enough Mkowski gets hurt and this guy comes

729
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 3: out of nowhere on the bench and it leads them

730
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 3: on this huge comeback. And the Bengals, who were two

731
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 3: and oh at the time, they would I don't think

732
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: they won another game that season after they blew the

733
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 3: lead that day because this guy named Brett Farv came

734
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 3: on and I swear to god I watched it live.

735
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 3: I'll never forget it. And suddenly this Brett Favre guy

736
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: just took over the world and the rest was history.

737
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 3: Well that's what it reminded me of yesterday is I

738
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 3: was watching this game, I kept saying, this is Brett E.

739
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 4: F and far all over again. This is I mean,

740
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 4: I'm looking at this right now.

741
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 3: Bill Gates tweets is thirty seven completions are the most

742
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 3: by any player in his first career start in NFL history,

743
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 3: Like no player in their first start has done it.

744
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 3: So and as I mentioned at the top of you know,

745
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 3: I am in Western Kentucky. That's where I went to college,

746
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 3: and that's where he went to college. Show its root

747
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 3: and form, But I mean the reality of it is

748
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 3: Zach Wilson's going to be the quarterback here again in

749
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks.

750
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 4: I think we saw enough yesterday. We're not going to see.

751
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco starting any games barring injury here, So that's

752
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 3: a good thing for Jets fans, I guess. And this

753
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 3: week matchup against the Colts, this is a defense that

754
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 3: doesn't really scare me. They have a lot of injuries

755
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 3: right now, especially in the secondary. So Mike White certainly

756
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 3: a player for Week nine, but if you're counting on

757
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 3: him for like week eleven or beyond, I think, you know,

758
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 3: you have to not really count on it, because that'd

759
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 3: be wishful thinking in my eyes.

760
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: Fair enough, I think we are just going full send

761
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: on the next couple of weeks. But it is a

762
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: little concerning given that was a way better performance than

763
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: anything we've seen from Zac Wilson so far. But hopefully

764
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: Wilson can get over the you know, rookie jitters and

765
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: you know, improve as the season progresses. All right, The

766
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: next guy we're going to talk about is Michael Pittman junior.

767
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: He is having one of the quietest year two breakouts,

768
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: which I think maybe partly because He's on the Colts,

769
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: which is just not the sexiest offense necessarily four touchdowns

770
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: in the last four games, with two scores last week.

771
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: He is currently wide receiver two and half PPR this

772
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: week with one game left to play. As we are

773
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: recording this, are we full send on Pittman season as

774
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: a guy that you know could put up high end

775
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver two, possibly low and wide receiver one numbers

776
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: rest of season.

777
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 4: I am full send on this guy and I was.

778
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 4: I was pretty high on him before the season.

779
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 3: I had him at one point five or six spots

780
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 3: ahead of the expert consensus rankings over at Fantasy Pros,

781
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 3: where you know I'm always updating my ranks, and I

782
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 3: mean you said it, I mean career best ten catches.

783
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 3: What I really like is, uh, you know, the fact

784
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 3: that he's with the deep balls, right, I mean six

785
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 3: catches from twenty plus yards. I mean that's only ninth

786
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 3: most the NFL, but a fifty seven percent can test

787
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 3: to catch rates on deep targets this season, So he's

788
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 3: going up. He's making the place. He's got the frame,

789
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 3: the build. They like him in the red zone. Double

790
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 3: digit PPR points now in six of his last seven

791
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 3: and three of those contests he's eclipsed twenty PPR points.

792
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think it's all good for Michael Pittman.

793
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 3: What helps him is that great defense, not that I

794
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 3: just referenced there for HINDI, I mean, the defense isn't great.

795
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 4: So I think there's gonna be a lot of shootouts.

796
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 3: Now Carson Wentz has to stop trying to throw left

797
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 3: handed passes. But and you know t Y Hilton, this

798
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 3: guy's not going to hold up. So and then yet

799
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 3: in Paris, Campell's already lost for the season. So all

800
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 3: these things point to Pittman being the man. I think

801
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 3: he's going to finish at least in the top fifteen

802
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 3: and PPR leagues by the season's end if he stays healthy.

803
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: I'd love that take. I actually was high on him

804
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: last year. Obviously, injuries and a number of things kind

805
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: of made it a somewhat disappointing year one. So he

806
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: was a guy that I was certainly targeting. And yeah,

807
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: as you mentioned with t Y Hilton, he just it's

808
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: a real shame that he can't stay healthy injury. Obviously

809
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: we're all rooting for him. Yeah, so it looks like

810
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of one of those things that he's just

811
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: kind of one of the last men standing. And it's

812
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: not just that he's like just has the opportunity. He also,

813
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: like you said, has the talent and the frame and

814
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: everything like that. So I am really excited to watch

815
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: him play this season and beyond all right, the next

816
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: guy we're going to talk about, another Jet, another Michael too.

817
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: Three Michaels in a row. Michael Carter currently RB one

818
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: and half PPR with one game left to play. He's

819
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: finished as a top thirty running back for Fantasy in

820
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: all but two games this year, and top twenty four

821
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: and three straight, which is pretty good considering how poorly

822
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: the Jets played and the kind of game scripts that

823
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: they've put themselves in. So are we going full sent

824
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: on Carter is a viable RB two rest of season?

825
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: Or is trusting any Jets running back cap?

826
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 3: I think it's another full send for me, right, And

827
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 3: I got to admit, I mean I was pretty in

828
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 3: on Carter during the draft season as well. There was

829
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: times when he got a little pricey with the ADP.

830
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 3: It was it was tough to get your hands on him,

831
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 3: but then it sort of plummeted. It again with late

832
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 3: in the draft season, and that's where I got what

833
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 3: up shares. I think of the sixteen season long teams

834
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 3: and yes I have that many.

835
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 4: Wow, I'm trying to cut it down to be low ten.

836
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 4: But it's hard telling people now.

837
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 3: It's hard telling people now, but in their sixteenth season

838
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 3: longs not even counting all the best balls, which you

839
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 3: know I have dozens as well. In there's sixteen season

840
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 3: long leagues. I believe I've got Michael Carter literally on

841
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 3: at least eight or nine of those teams. And the

842
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 3: thing is, now, he's what we wanted. His bye week's over,

843
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 3: he's ran. It's his involvement in the passing game that's

844
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 3: exciting to me. He ran thirty two pass routes on Sunday.

845
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 3: That was third among all running backs over the last

846
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 3: two weeks. Only DeAndre Swift has won run more routes

847
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 3: at the position. And you look at the targets over

848
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 3: that span twenty three fourteen times on Sunday. That's not

849
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 3: obviously sustainable there. But to me, here's we're seeing the talent.

850
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 3: I mean, twenty four touches, one hundred and seventy two

851
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 3: total yards. He's going to score touchdowns. I really like him.

852
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 4: Plus I don't think enough people are talking about it.

853
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 3: I haven't watched that entire game yesterday, but has banged

854
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 3: up in injuries that they've had. The Jets offensive line

855
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 3: is improving here. They're opening up holes and I don't

856
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: know who the quarterback is going to be, but that's

857
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 3: going to look like. But Michael Carter, he's here to stay.

858
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 3: Is this team's running back for the rest of this

859
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 3: season and beyond.

860
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: I think I love that I had him in. I

861
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: think I'm in six leagues season long, which is I

862
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: know Paul Tree, Yes, well, no, that's.

863
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 4: How it starts there, Samantha.

864
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 3: Once you go from two to three and then you

865
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 3: get to six, I go, Okay, that's how they suck.

866
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 4: Yet next year I'm saying, I'm saying.

867
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I have him in. I think I drafted

868
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: him in like four or six leagues. And one of

869
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: the good things is, yeah, I got him in the

870
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 1: tenth round of one league, two rounds after Tray sermon,

871
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: which we're not going to talk about that, but yeah.

872
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: I mean, what's great about a guy like that is

873
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: that you have no real like expectations for them, because

874
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: when you're drafting them that kind of late You're you're

875
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: thinking like, oh, well, hopefully he breaks out exactly. So

876
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean the trace sermon when I will say hurt.

877
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: But I think that Michael Carter maybe I had lower

878
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: expectations for him, and I am happy that I have

879
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: held on to him in most of these formats. So

880
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: I am full send on Michael Carter. The only thing

881
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: is that I got burned last year. At the beginning

882
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: of the season, I went a little heavy on Michael

883
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: p Ryan, as I thought was a good sleeper and

884
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: obviously not quite so. Uh.

885
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 3: This the difference is the draft stock though, right, I

886
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 3: mean Carter was a pretty high end talent. I mean,

887
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 3: you know, pretty coveted. I will say, you hit one

888
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 3: good point on the head you held onto him, And

889
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 3: I see it happen too often that owners they get

890
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 3: on these players, and then sometimes you have to make

891
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 3: moves with injuries and buys. You're forced innit these things,

892
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 3: of course, and we understand that, but a lot of

893
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 3: times people are just making cuts because they're not patient.

894
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 4: Enough, especially when you draft. Everybody loves drafting.

895
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 3: Rookie running backs, but very few, very few want to

896
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 3: sit around and wait it out like you need to,

897
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 3: because it doesn't happen overnight.

898
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 4: It takes them some time.

899
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 3: And we're going to see with Michael Carter the calendars

900
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 3: turn November, and I think he's going to really reward

901
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 3: those that had that patience, as I think that's going

902
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 3: to definitely be the case.

903
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: Love to hear it all right, one more running back

904
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: Boston spot. So I just want to say I personally

905
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: apologize to every single person that I told that Honey

906
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: Gainwell was must start this week. Obviously just painful, painful

907
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: to watch. They all ended up. So Boston, Scott, Jordan Howard,

908
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: and Kenny Gainwell all ended up with about the same

909
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: number of carries, but it was Scott and Howard that

910
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: both found the end zone twice. So are we going

911
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: full sent on Scott? As Miles Sanders backup, And this

912
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: is kind of like a follow up, like are we

913
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: just like done with Kenny Gainwell because he's the guy

914
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: that I had been pumping up as like a waiver

915
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: wire target for a number of weeks and I don't

916
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: know what was happening pregame. I think I saw a

917
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: couple of things like Josh Holantino, who writes for the Athletic,

918
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: who's their beat writer. Yeah, that was saying like he

919
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: was not warming up with like the first steam and everything,

920
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh God, like something's wrong, it's

921
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: in it. It was, so I started to the problem.

922
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 3: I think part of the problem yesterday was sort of

923
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 3: like that Jaguars Seattle game.

924
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 4: I thought the Lions after what they did with the.

925
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 3: Rams the week before, and I thought the Lions actually

926
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 3: had a chance to win that game yesterday.

927
00:42:58,360 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 4: So as I was.

928
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 3: Projecting Kenny game, well, I was thinking that the game

929
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 3: flow would have the Eagles either down or in a

930
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 3: close game, and that wasn't the case.

931
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 4: So here's the thing.

932
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 3: I can't go full send on any Philadelphia, any of them.

933
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 3: I mean, there's not a player on the team I

934
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 3: can say that about right now. And the running situation

935
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 3: and particularly I mean you talk about, yeah, they all

936
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 3: had the same number of carries, but that's misleading because

937
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 3: game we only had one carry in the first half.

938
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 3: Twelve of his thirteen carries came on the final two

939
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 3: drives of a game that was already well decided. So

940
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 3: you definitely can't do that now. Boston Scott Samantha, I Bill.

941
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 3: Remember we saw glimpses of him in previous seasons to

942
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 3: where he was a fantasy force in the playoff time

943
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 3: and particularly a couple of years ago, and so he

944
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 3: can get it done. I just don't think this offense

945
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 3: can sustain it. And to be honest, the thing that

946
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 3: scares me most about the Eagles because I've got some

947
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 3: shares in some some pretty big places with Jalen Hurts,

948
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 3: and you better have a backup plan because Jalen Hurts.

949
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 3: Fantasy managers there are going to have to probably pivot

950
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: later in this season. As we saw Gardner Minshew come

951
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 3: in here. I mean it was a blowout, but I

952
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,720
Speaker 3: mean I don't think this organization is all in on Hurtz.

953
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 3: And by the time we get to the playoff time,

954
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 3: if this is your fantasy quarterback who right now is

955
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 3: that you know most of us are ranking inside the

956
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 3: top five or six each week, you might get benched.

957
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 3: It might be Gardner Minshew time in Philadelphia. And that's

958
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 3: a very real problem.

959
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: That is one major thing. This is like a perfect

960
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: case study of the fifurcation between actual football and fantasy,

961
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: where Jalen Hurst is the guy that we're like excited

962
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: about for fantasy. He is my QB one in scott

963
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: Fishball and a QB one in a number of places.

964
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and yeah, I mean he's putting up numbers.

965
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: It's a lot of garbage time numbers, and it's not

966
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: He's not showing a lot of development in year two

967
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: as a passer, which is actually concerning given that he

968
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: might get bench this season. So yeah, I am feeling

969
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: less and less confident about him, even like Dallas Godter,

970
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: I thought that it was he going to be like

971
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: a high end tight end one with zach Ertz gone,

972
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: so that's not necessarily happened. And yeah, just this passing

973
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: game doesn't have a lot of life. I'm not sending

974
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: it on any of the Eagles running backs at this point,

975
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: so I'm with you there, all right. Our final guy

976
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: is going to be pet Friar Mush So I know, sorry,

977
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: I know it's a touchy subject after yeah.

978
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 4: Like tight ends.

979
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: Okay, I love this guy, baby Gronk Eric Braun inactive.

980
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: He finished with four catches on seven targets for forty

981
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: four yards and found the end zone. Again. I love

982
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: the guy. I mean, I think he's got a great

983
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: build and great pedigree and everything like that. Do you

984
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 1: think that he is a viable streamer for fantasy purposes

985
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: or do you think that's kind of just cap because

986
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: Ericy Braun was out.

987
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 4: No, I think he is.

988
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a full send. I'm hitting

989
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 3: the send. I'm trying to send all the way here.

990
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 3: I think definitely, as we talked about, the landscape and

991
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 3: of the position is pretty weak this guy. To me,

992
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 3: the snap share was still a little puzzling yesterday. I mean,

993
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 3: he's still shared some time with some backup tight ends

994
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 3: more than I like to have seen there. But if,

995
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 3: and this is a big if in my eyes, a

996
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 3: big ben holds up for the durvation of this season.

997
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 3: I do believe that you're talking about a fringe tight end,

998
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 3: you know, probably a high end tight end too here

999
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 3: and certainly in dynasty leagues. This is a player that

1000
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 3: is going to be a pretty hot commodity of this offseason.

1001
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 4: So it's been a great year.

1002
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 3: I think success will continue and you'll see him inch

1003
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 3: his way up.

1004
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 4: The rankings each week.

1005
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: So I agree. I think he's a guy that obviously

1006
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: benefits from Juju being out to kind of some of

1007
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: those more short yardage targets could go to him, and

1008
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, if he keeps playing the me he's playing,

1009
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: I would hope to see that snap crout increase with

1010
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: or without Eric Ebron healthy. All right, Dan, well, we

1011
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: have eight more rapid fire questions and we will get

1012
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,720
Speaker 1: you out of here as soon as possible. So question thirteen,

1013
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: Name one player you just cannot quit so or you

1014
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: always find yourself making excuses for so last season that

1015
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: was Levista Channel for me. I have I have gotten

1016
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: off the Lewiska Channel train obviously as everyone has. I

1017
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: don't want to be the last person on that train

1018
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: going off the cliff. But maybe, like for me, that

1019
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: might be Joe Mixon. So who is that for you?

1020
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah? You know, it's hard to come up with just

1021
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 3: one because then I have so many teams. But I

1022
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 3: will say I will say that I always always probably

1023
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 3: Overseell Chase Edmonds, and even coming end of this season,

1024
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 3: like I was so convinced, and.

1025
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 4: I did finally score a touchdown this week, so that

1026
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 4: was nice to see.

1027
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 3: But I feel like that offense and his the way

1028
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 3: he fit, like his style could.

1029
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 4: Lead to like Marshall Falk like production.

1030
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 3: So uh, I've got a lot of shares of them

1031
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 3: and PPR lets, let's just say that. And it hasn't

1032
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 3: been terrible, but it hasn't really hit that ceiling yet

1033
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 3: and for this year is doing better than last year

1034
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 3: because this will be the second straight year I've gone

1035
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 3: in on Chase Edmond.

1036
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a difficult it's a frustrating situation obviously

1037
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Well, scary situation this week. I thought he

1038
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: was really banged up during the game, but he ended

1039
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: up coming back, so hopefully he's not the shoulder issue.

1040
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 4: It was sort of holding it a little funny there.

1041
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's feeling good. But then, yeah, we keep

1042
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: seeing James Connor get so much of.

1043
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 4: The goal, all the touch, all the touch shows.

1044
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: Super frustrating for fantasy, But I understand the enamor with

1045
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: Shase Edmonds. All right. Predict when the Bengals will win

1046
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 1: their next Super Bowl?

1047
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 3: Wow, you know, it's interesting because it's been a long time.

1048
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 3: They've never won a Super Bowl, so when they win

1049
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 3: their next one will be when will they win any

1050
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 3: super Bowl? But I mean, I definitely think that Joe

1051
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 3: Burrow is a guy that can get a team to

1052
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. I don't know if they're going to

1053
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 3: be able to do it this year. I think there's

1054
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 3: still some growth to do as a football team. But

1055
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,280
Speaker 3: I like to think that, you know, these next few years,

1056
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,919
Speaker 3: you're talking about just this receiving corps. I mean even

1057
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 3: Tyler Boyce wrapped up through twenty twenty three. They're offensive

1058
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,280
Speaker 3: lines young, and the thing is they have it unlike

1059
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 3: some of these teams.

1060
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 4: Sam they've turned around by giving up their draft picks.

1061
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 3: And when we talk about the Rams and you see,

1062
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 3: you know a lot of these teams mortgage.

1063
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 4: At the Bengals.

1064
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 3: They have all their draft picks, they have all these

1065
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 3: great young players. They're all locked up on rookie contracts.

1066
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 3: So the window is now in the NFL. It just

1067
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 3: takes getting a few rite more pieces. So hopefully they

1068
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 3: can make those places. But we'll go twenty twenty four.

1069
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 4: How about that?

1070
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: I like that. That is optimistic but not too crazy.

1071
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: What are the Bengals' biggest needs that they need to

1072
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: fill in this year's draft class.

1073
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 3: Well, they're really hurting for a pass rusher right now.

1074
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 3: And Joseph out of Texas A and M was looking

1075
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 3: the part all training camp.

1076
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 4: A lot of my friends that are beat writers, we're

1077
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 4: looking at that.

1078
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 3: And you know, he got hurt in the first preseason

1079
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 3: game right in Dury sack Tom Brady, and so I'd

1080
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 3: love to see them address that in their draft.

1081
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 4: Obviously.

1082
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 3: I think you never have enough offense alignment, especially when

1083
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 3: you got a franchise quarterback. And you know, I think

1084
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 3: those are the two biggest needs.

1085
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: Give us one Bengalspire, who you think is underrated for fantasy.

1086
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think a lot of people are

1087
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 3: giving up a little too quick on Tyler Boyd right now.

1088
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,919
Speaker 3: I've seen him at the waiver wire being dumped out

1089
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 3: there in a lot of leagues, and I think he's

1090
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 3: still worth bench pot in the twelve team league, particularly

1091
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 3: if you see any injuries to Chase or Higgins. But

1092
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 3: Chase's numbers are not sustainable right now. His target share

1093
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 3: is gunn a lesson. We actually had James Rapene, who

1094
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 3: covers the team on our Serious XM show this week.

1095
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 3: It's like a long time friend of mine, and he

1096
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 3: already said he's like, look for Boyd and Higgins to

1097
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 3: have better games against the Jets, And that's exactly what happened.

1098
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 4: I to say, Chase isn't special in the league and

1099
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 4: still the alpha there.

1100
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 3: He certainly is, but I do think that there is

1101
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 3: a positive regression there coming for especially Tyler Boyd and

1102
00:50:58,120 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 3: the target window.

1103
00:50:58,760 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 4: Show he was dumped in league.

1104
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 3: I think he could still be a handy by a

1105
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 3: week filler and maybe a low end wide receiver three

1106
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 3: on PPR format.

1107
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: Was Joe Flacco ever elite? Yes or no?

1108
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 3: No, But you don't have to be a lead to

1109
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 3: be a super Bowl champion with you know, football is

1110
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 3: a team sport, eleven on eleven. It's one of the

1111
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 3: reasons I love it. Everybody does their part, everybody has

1112
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 3: their role, and Joe Flacco certainly has had a long career.

1113
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 4: In the NFL.

1114
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 3: So now that said, you know, I think there could

1115
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 3: have been a lot of quarterbacks that could have won

1116
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 3: a super Bowl with that team. He did with Baltimore

1117
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 3: that year, but that's not a question.

1118
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: I think it was elite for maybe a couple of games,

1119
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: but we'll give him that. Who should a manager's top

1120
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: weaver at be this week?

1121
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 2: Hmm?

1122
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 3: That's interesting because I do think it is needs based.

1123
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 4: For sure, but.

1124
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 3: Judging by the way Twitter is going today, it might

1125
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 3: be a very well be Adrian Peterson all this stuff here.

1126
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 3: You know, we'll have to wait and see how that

1127
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 3: situation develops. But for me, I'm definitely going to look at,

1128
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 3: you know, running backs always the position that I cover

1129
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 3: it on the waiver and I'm sure Boston Scott wasn't

1130
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 3: scooped out there in a lot of shaller leagues. I

1131
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 3: think he's worth picking up. We talked about him today,

1132
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,439
Speaker 3: so I'm putting some attention on.

1133
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 4: Him for sure.

1134
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: Any interest in Jeremy McNichols, no good to hear that was.

1135
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned about this Titans backfield becoming some

1136
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: kind of a committee though, like not like a fun committee,

1137
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: more like a Ravens esque committee where there's a lot

1138
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: of veterans that are no fun for fantasy. So you know,

1139
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,720
Speaker 1: if they signed Adrian Peterson and Marlon Mack or something

1140
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: like that and have minicholes, they could all be just

1141
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: kind of fantasy.

1142
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 4: They could definitely attack it like that.

1143
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 3: I do think it's interesting because if you're asking going

1144
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 3: back to the waiver wire, pick up the week, I

1145
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 3: know a guy out there in almost every league at

1146
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 3: Taysom Hill is somebody that really interested me. Because we

1147
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 3: know what rushing quarterbacks can do and how they can

1148
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 3: help your football team. And I think I don't know

1149
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 3: if it's the best man for the Saints, but it's

1150
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 3: pretty definitive that it's his job now for the entire season.

1151
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 3: So I'm going out there, especially if I'm a Jalen

1152
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 3: Hurts owner. That's a good stash and a player that will.

1153
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 4: Have qued up where needed.

1154
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 1: Obviously a huge bummer about the Jamis Winston News last

1155
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,280
Speaker 1: night and this morning. So yeah, Taysom Hill is definitely

1156
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: going to be guy that I am targeting. Give me

1157
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: one player who you think is primed for a big

1158
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: fantasy season next year.

1159
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 3: Well, Javonte Williams was a guy that we sort of

1160
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 3: teed up there before, and I certainly, as I told you,

1161
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 3: I really envisioned him and him as a back end

1162
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 3: RB one next year when he's in the Melvin Gordon

1163
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 3: list backfield. I think we'll see enough at the end

1164
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,280
Speaker 3: of the season to see that. And then I also

1165
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 3: think I was really high on him. We haven't seen

1166
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 3: a lot of it, but I'm really excited still about

1167
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 3: Terrence Marshall. I know as a rookie he's had this

1168
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 3: concussion now and Robbie Anderson's sort of been in the way,

1169
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 3: but I think that he's got the right skill set.

1170
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 3: It's in that offense to really take a step forward. Still,

1171
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if we're going to see it all

1172
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 3: the way this season, but I'll be keep my eyes

1173
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 3: on that for sure.

1174
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: I love that because I, like I said, I didn't

1175
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: grow up a fan, really, but I have adopted the

1176
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: Panthers as my de facto fan. Nice whatever. So just

1177
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: imagine if.

1178
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 3: They get to Shaun Watson, which is a strong possibility

1179
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 3: for next season. You know, those receivers with the right quarterback,

1180
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, they could be off the hook. Good.

1181
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would not say Sam Darnold is the right quarterback.

1182
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: A little for the future, A little bit disappointing. How

1183
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 1: many attempts would it take you to make an extra point?

1184
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 3: Well, actually, I've recently tried these, because I know my

1185
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,240
Speaker 3: high school football We are not high school football games

1186
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 3: every week, so we were messing around a few weeks ago,

1187
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 3: and actually I actually thrilled one through. So we don't

1188
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 3: think it would take me too many attempts. It depends

1189
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 3: on how much I stress and how much would evolve.

1190
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: That is super impressive that it's not in my skill set.

1191
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: I am very athletic at certain things. I mean I

1192
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: do lots of sports, but I'm really good at balance

1193
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: sports and individual sports. I never played a team sport

1194
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: in my life.

1195
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 3: Like, well, you know, taking a football is a lot

1196
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 3: harder than it looks, but an extra points not too far.

1197
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: I think you could do it, so it would be

1198
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: really ugly and it would probably take you one hundred tries. Finally,

1199
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 1: if you had one cardinal rule to tell someone just

1200
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: getting into fantasy this season, what would it be?

1201
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 4: Have fun?

1202
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 3: I mean that's what it's all we really, I mean,

1203
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 3: we all like winning money, don't care yourself and sometimes

1204
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 3: I mean I've definitely been in games where I lost.

1205
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 4: I didn't have had all this money right there.

1206
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 3: But have fun, man, because that's what it's really all about,

1207
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 3: you want to. I've gotten to the point, honestly, where

1208
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 3: with as many teams as I have, I mean, it's

1209
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 3: easy to do.

1210
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 4: But I don't even look at live scoring on Sundays anymore.

1211
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,919
Speaker 3: I literally just sit down and I watched the game,

1212
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 3: and you know this guy over here is I mean,

1213
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 3: there's certain teams of mine that I've root for a

1214
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 3: little bit, but it made it is so much more.

1215
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 4: Fun to me.

1216
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 3: It's like, just watch the games, enjoy and they don't

1217
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 3: last long, so have fun. That's my number one advice.

1218
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: I agree. I don't watch live scoring either, Like, I

1219
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: can't get wrapped up in that either. It's just even

1220
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: six teams overwhelmed me. And I passively know which players

1221
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: I have on each team and stuff. But like, and

1222
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: you know players, if you have a lot of shares

1223
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: of them and a lot of exposure to them, you

1224
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: of course are rooting for them, but a lot it

1225
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:32,879
Speaker 1: doesn't matter.

1226
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 3: Only It's like I tell people all the time. It's

1227
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 3: like it doesn't matter if I'm rooting for this team

1228
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 3: or that team. I mean, it's going to happen, right,

1229
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 3: Just sit back and enjoy it. Just enjoy it, enjoy it.

1230
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: I agree, one hundred percent. All right. That will do

1231
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: it for this round of twenty one questions with our
