Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Monday, October twenty first, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, where we're wondering
Speaker 1: if you could spare a healthy wide receiver to me.
Speaker 1: Your man MG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael Florio and
Speaker 1: Lakwan Jones Fellows.
Speaker 2: At least two of you. At least you two.
Speaker 1: Got to celebrate NFL wins, So congratulations on that.
Speaker 2: My team literally got smoke.
Speaker 1: I think it might have just given up another weird
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes scramble.
Speaker 2: I don't absolutely love to see it. I'm sure you do.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you do. I mean Florida for you.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not officially wrapped up, but it seems
Speaker 1: like the division's kind of wrapped up for the Bills
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I would have traded it in for a Mets win,
Speaker 3: but Marcus and the Dodgers and all that. Yeah, the Mets,
Speaker 3: the Mets and Jets season kind of ended at the
Speaker 3: same point, and that leads to the Bills kind of
Speaker 3: having the division wrapped up. But yeah, congrats, I guess
Speaker 3: and all all that good stuff, you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean, Like you all honestly like the Mets
Speaker 1: had a great season. They they made the Dodgers sweat
Speaker 1: a little bit. I would tell you I woke up
Speaker 1: early on Sunday morning with a weird pit in my stomach,
Speaker 1: was nervous, couldn't eat much, but happy.
Speaker 2: You know, job's not.
Speaker 1: Done, but we're moving on and at least gave me
Speaker 1: something to wash that nasty forty nine Ers game out
Speaker 1: of my mouth with, because that was that was awfulndous awful.
Speaker 1: We got a lot to talk about. We will have
Speaker 1: our biggest takeaways from Week seven. Still two more games
Speaker 1: to go. We have a doubleheader on Monday night with
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Bucks, also the Chargers and the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: so two more games to finish out the week.
Speaker 2: Will have some waiver wire stuff and we'll.
Speaker 1: Start getting into our mid season awards because we have
Speaker 1: hit the halfway points of the fantasy regular season. You know,
Speaker 1: having seventeen games is sort of weird mathematically, but it
Speaker 1: does mean fourteen weeks in the regular season. There's a
Speaker 1: nice breaking point after Week seven there. But let's get started,
Speaker 1: as we always do, with some fantasy headline. So it
Speaker 1: was bad on the field for the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 1: They got thumped by the Kansas City Chiefs in a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl rematch.
Speaker 2: It was bad on the field. It may be getting
Speaker 2: even worse. Brandon Ayuk left the game.
Speaker 1: Afterwards, Kyle Shanahan said they fear it is a torn
Speaker 1: acl Now, as of the time of us recording this show,
Speaker 1: there is no confirmation on that. But that was not
Speaker 1: a good looking injury to his lower leg. Ended up
Speaker 1: being carted into the locker room, and it could be
Speaker 1: that he is finished for the season. I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask this for Florio because I feel like Lakwan is
Speaker 1: going to have too much voice, seriously, too much gleea.
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna ask you this question. But look,
Speaker 1: we don't know when Christian McCaffrey is coming back. Auk
Speaker 1: might be gone for the year. Deebo had an illness
Speaker 1: apparently yesterday that kept him off the field.
Speaker 2: Should we start to panic about this forty nine ers
Speaker 2: offense for fantasy?
Speaker 3: No, No, it stinks if you have Brandon Nyuk. It's
Speaker 3: even worse if you know you invested in him early
Speaker 3: in the summer when he was going as like a
Speaker 3: borderline first round pick. But he has one big game
Speaker 3: all year. Every other game less than fifty receiving yards.
Speaker 3: Kittle is still out there. Deebo is still out there
Speaker 3: once he gets over this illness. We already know Juwan
Speaker 3: Jennings could fill in nicely. They even got the rookies
Speaker 3: involved a bit yesterday and Ricky Piersoll and Jacob Cowing.
Speaker 2: So I'm not Patton.
Speaker 3: Look, maybe the forty nine ers aren't going to be
Speaker 3: what they were last season, which is when they kind
Speaker 3: of gave us a league winner at every position, But
Speaker 3: if you have those other pieces of the forty nine
Speaker 3: ers offense, I'm not panicking or freaking out or anything
Speaker 3: just yet. Brandon Nayuk, it was a down year from
Speaker 3: the start. I hope for Speedie recovering and he's back
Speaker 3: next season. But I think this hurts Brandon Ayuk managers
Speaker 3: a lot more than it does the forty nine Ers
Speaker 3: as a whole.
Speaker 1: Well, we saw George Kittle still have a nice game
Speaker 1: yesterday for Fantasy six catches for ninety two yards. You're right,
Speaker 1: at some point, Deebo sam he was going to be
Speaker 1: back and they're not going to be facing a Steve
Speaker 1: Spagnolo defense every week. I will say that as a fan,
Speaker 1: I had a bad feeling about this. When Steve Spagnolo
Speaker 1: during the week was super complimentary of Brock Purdy and
Speaker 1: out here saying like, oh, he has no weaknesses, That
Speaker 1: to me was the epitome of the enemy speaks softly
Speaker 1: and carries a knife like Spags with some sort of
Speaker 1: wide receiver or something out here. So maybe the result
Speaker 1: was not super surprising when it was all said and done.
Speaker 1: Over to Cleveland, where Deshaun Watson left the game with
Speaker 1: a non contact injury. It has been confirmed that he
Speaker 1: has torn his achilles. He will have surgery. His season
Speaker 1: is over.
Speaker 2: Mcwan. We did see Nick Chubb come.
Speaker 1: Back and he got back in them zone and that
Speaker 1: was really great, really fun to see. We saw Cedric
Speaker 1: Tillman step in and have a nice game for fantasy,
Speaker 1: But I mean, are we believing in Tillman? Is there
Speaker 1: anybody there that you still count on besides Nick Chubb?
Speaker 4: Cedric Tillman is a nice WI replacement at Ormari Cooper
Speaker 4: will shift off the Buffalo. But David Nijok, who's really
Speaker 4: the only pass catcher we can put our hat on
Speaker 4: to say, yeah, we could put him in starting lineups
Speaker 4: and he might put some type of product out there.
Speaker 4: But when you look at Jerry Judy, it just feels
Speaker 4: like he's checked out of his frustrations. They're gone through,
Speaker 4: you know, multiple quarterbacks right now, you know, with DTR
Speaker 4: and Jameson Winston, Like who knows, you know, moving forward,
Speaker 4: if Jerry Judy is going to be valuable. But when
Speaker 4: you look at David Nijoku, he's the only one getting
Speaker 4: this offense any type of spark to be able to
Speaker 4: go downfield and create some scoring opportunities. He's a big
Speaker 4: body target, so therefore, if it's DTR, if it's Winston,
Speaker 4: they'll be able to check out him in the end zone.
Speaker 4: So I definitely feel as though, like I could only
Speaker 4: trust David Najoku moving forward, and that kind of puts
Speaker 4: Superman Nick Chubb in that because he had that touchdown.
Speaker 4: But before that, the production was really nasty for fantasy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very interested to see what the quarterback plan is
Speaker 1: going to be. H I know yesterday people were saying
Speaker 1: it looks like it could be DTR. But he also
Speaker 1: suffed a finger injury, which is why you saw Jamis
Speaker 1: Winston get in late in the game, actually led them
Speaker 1: to a touchdown right near the end of that game.
Speaker 1: So I think it should be Jamis. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people feel like it should be Jamis. We'll
Speaker 1: see what this what direction Kevin Stefanski's I mean, look,
Speaker 1: Jamis was made inactive. He came in because he was
Speaker 1: the emergency quarterback on Sunday.
Speaker 3: The irony of them demoting him because fans were cheering
Speaker 3: his name in games, and that's the only Browns quarterback
Speaker 3: that throws a touchdown.
Speaker 2: Crazy, I mean, Brown's gonna brown. That's a pretty much
Speaker 2: still ball man. I don't know why people doubt him.
Speaker 2: He could still ball. Put him out there.
Speaker 1: If nothing else, I think he just gives you more
Speaker 1: hope in that offense, and they've had all year long,
Speaker 1: So I don't know why you wouldn't give him a shot.
Speaker 2: But we'll see what.
Speaker 1: We'll see what directions the fancy and the Browns decide
Speaker 1: to go in.
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at some of the week's top scores.
Speaker 1: Everybody howled when the Steelers were making a quarterback change,
Speaker 1: but Russell Wilson gave you almost twenty five fantasy points,
Speaker 1: a parent passing touchdowns, a rush touchdown as well. Jamiir
Speaker 1: Gibbs doing jamiro Gibbs things one hundred and sixteen rushing
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns, four catches for forty four yards
Speaker 1: thirty two points for him.
Speaker 2: I'm on Ross Saint Brown.
Speaker 1: It was Sonny in Minneapolis and the sun God showed
Speaker 1: out twenty five point two points, eight catches, one hundred
Speaker 1: and twelve yards in a touchdown.
Speaker 2: David Joku, we just talked about him.
Speaker 1: Sint Jexes for seventy six and a score that's good
Speaker 1: for twenty three points six. Will Lutts made four field
Speaker 1: goals and three extra points for the Broncos seventeen points there.
Speaker 1: And the Broncos defense going back to Thursday night, just
Speaker 1: obliterating the Saints. They scored a twenty eight fantasy points there.
Speaker 1: Let's get to our biggest takeaways though from Week seven. Lakwan,
Speaker 1: what did you see that you think we can build
Speaker 1: on going forward?
Speaker 4: Looking at the Titans offense, I mean, I honestly feel
Speaker 4: that Mason Rudolph gives the pass catchers the best chance
Speaker 4: to be fantasy relevant. I mean, you avoid some of
Speaker 4: the bonehead mistakes, the turnovers, and plus he you could
Speaker 4: take the veteran approach here with Mason rudolp he has
Speaker 4: a lot of football behind him. So therefore, moving forward,
Speaker 4: there's guys that you see like Chicaquo the tight end
Speaker 4: over there, or you even see the reverb the revive
Speaker 4: of Calvin Ridley. But more so, he's not going to
Speaker 4: be turning the ball over as frequent on the Titans offense,
Speaker 4: and he's also converting on third down. He's throwing the
Speaker 4: ball away. He's not trying to play hero ball. But
Speaker 4: it's a matter of trying to figure out moving forward,
Speaker 4: do we put Will Levis back in there, or which
Speaker 4: fantasy pass catcher could we honestly trust, you know, week
Speaker 4: to week. But that's soon to be told, you know,
Speaker 4: moving forward. But I think Mason Rudolph just gives this
Speaker 4: offense a spark that they desperately needed.
Speaker 1: It's definitely a style change, right because Will Levis is
Speaker 1: good to throw yolo balls, which sometimes leads to hilarity
Speaker 1: thanks and sometimes it leads to some hilarious outcomes. Mason
Speaker 1: Ruolph's is very much going to be conservative. He's going
Speaker 1: to check down. It was why when I like Tony
Speaker 1: Pollard going into the week anyway, it was a reason
Speaker 1: I got really excited about Tony Pollard in that opportunity,
Speaker 1: even though you know he didn't really happen.
Speaker 2: It was just a game for Pollard.
Speaker 1: So I almost say, now will Levis, they're saying week
Speaker 1: to week with that shoulder injury, So we'll see what
Speaker 1: happens coming up in Week eight, Florida.
Speaker 2: What did you learn from this week?
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph doesn't seem like a conservative guy to me.
Speaker 3: I learned that George Pickens is the breakout I think
Speaker 3: is coming here. And this is something that I doubted
Speaker 3: him this week because of the matchup, and that was wrong.
Speaker 3: But coming into the season, I was like, I want
Speaker 3: George Pickens on my fantasy teams, and it was because
Speaker 3: we thought Russell Wilson would be the quarterback. Last week
Speaker 3: Week nine, second most targets, second most yards, his first touchdown.
Speaker 3: It was his best passer rating when targeted air yards.
Speaker 3: But I went back this morning and I watched all
Speaker 3: of his deep targets from this season. The difference is
Speaker 3: that Russell Wilson will just put more air under it.
Speaker 3: It's not like Russell Wilson went out and balled out
Speaker 3: on those deep balls or anything like that. Like one
Speaker 3: of them hit the Jets defender. First, another one, George
Speaker 3: Pickens made a phenomenal side line grab. The difference though,
Speaker 3: is like Justin Fields puts a lot of velocity and
Speaker 3: it's more of a line drive, and it's harder for
Speaker 3: Pickens to make those adjustments in air or something like that,
Speaker 3: whereas Wilson is like, yeah, I might underthrow it, but
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you a chance where you could legitimately
Speaker 3: come to a full stop potentially and just go up
Speaker 3: like it's a rebound in basketball and in one on ones.
Speaker 3: In those situations, I do think George Pickens will win
Speaker 3: more often than not. So maybe still a little bit
Speaker 3: boom or bust, but the arrow is certainly pointing up
Speaker 3: for George Pickens right now.
Speaker 1: Which again it sort of brings us back to where
Speaker 1: we were, say in August, when we were drafting Steelers,
Speaker 1: it was with the idea that Russell Wilson was going
Speaker 1: to be the starter and he was going to elevate
Speaker 1: all those pass catchers. Yes, we like Justin Fields and
Speaker 1: we assumed he was going to play, but we also
Speaker 1: I think sort of knew that Justin Fields was going
Speaker 1: to be good for the Justin Fields managers and maybe
Speaker 1: not for anybody else who was invested in the Steelers offense.
Speaker 1: Speaking of quarterbacks in Kansas City, Patrick Mahomes isn't a thing.
Speaker 1: But Kareem Hunt is watching that game yesterday between the
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the forty nine, or they understand with the
Speaker 1: Niners secondary had a really good game, but it was
Speaker 1: another week where Patrick Mahomes struggled to generate anything offensively.
Speaker 1: Finished the day with one hundred and fifty four passing yards,
Speaker 1: two interceptions, no touchdowns. Another game where Patrick Mahomes gave
Speaker 1: you less than fourteen fantasy points.
Speaker 2: It's been a struggle for him.
Speaker 1: In fact, he has not reached seventeen fantasy points in
Speaker 1: a game this season. They aren't able to get the
Speaker 1: ball downfield really to any of their wide receivers. Noah
Speaker 1: Gray was the leading pass catcher for the Chiefs on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and now Jujus Smith Schuster has he left with a
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. He's already been ruled out for this week's game.
Speaker 1: So what little they had to help catch the football
Speaker 1: not going to be there. In the meantime, Preem Hunts
Speaker 1: had a couple of nice games, back to back rushing
Speaker 1: touchdowns against the forty nine ers on Sunday went for
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards in a score of the week before.
Speaker 1: Curious to see what happens if we see more Sama J. P.
Speaker 3: Ryan.
Speaker 2: We'll see if Clyde Edwards Laire is able to get
Speaker 2: back in there.
Speaker 1: But for now, very much the Kareem Hunt Show, which
Speaker 1: in the year our Fantasy Football Lord twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: I did not think I would be saying out loud,
Speaker 1: there we are. We as I mentioned, are hitting the
Speaker 1: midway point of the fantasy regular season. Felt like it's
Speaker 1: a good time to give out some awards, so we
Speaker 1: will start. Because I've learned my lesson fellas, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to end the show with the downer award well
Speaker 1: and with a positive award, so right now we'll do
Speaker 1: the downer. And that's the biggest disappointment. So lakwan for
Speaker 1: the first seven weeks of the season, who has broken
Speaker 1: your heart?
Speaker 4: Don't kinkaid man Floria. I don't know if you got
Speaker 4: to get on the phone over there to see what's
Speaker 4: going on to get hit the ball more. But it's
Speaker 4: more so a disappointment and the halfway mark based on
Speaker 4: a mixed bag of why we're disappointed. It's like the
Speaker 4: cost that we pay for him in drafts. We know
Speaker 4: he's uber talented, he's getting the vine, but he's just
Speaker 4: not getting the yards. He's not getting the touchdowns. Like
Speaker 4: we know this dude could be the focal point of
Speaker 4: this Bill's offense, even though we understand they have this
Speaker 4: new identity as a low pass volume offense. Josh Allen
Speaker 4: still doing Josh Allen things, but it's like it's not
Speaker 4: happening for Dunk and Kate on the week to week basis,
Speaker 4: And it's like you probably missed out on some tight
Speaker 4: end opportunities to trade them, but again, tight ends were
Speaker 4: down bad in the fantasy streets, so there's really no
Speaker 4: way you could probably get that trade off to begin with.
Speaker 4: But you're not going to bench him because again he's
Speaker 4: getting the Viume. I can't see myself benching a tight
Speaker 4: end that's getting twenty percent of the target share. So
Speaker 4: you're just kind of just stuck with him. You're just
Speaker 4: sitting with him. But there is hope. Back to back
Speaker 4: weeks he did have season highs of receiving yards, so
Speaker 4: hopefully he could build on that in the back end
Speaker 4: of the season. But yeah, real nasty work right here.
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting, and you know, Florda, you might
Speaker 1: be able to speak to this a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Last year they funneled a lot of those targets through
Speaker 1: just a couple of guys. It was Stefan Diggs and
Speaker 1: Dalton Kink. This year feels like Josh Allen spreading the
Speaker 1: ball out a little bit more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think part of it is that we overestimated
Speaker 3: that Kincaid can be team's number one. I'm not sure
Speaker 3: he can be, but I think Amari Cooper is gonna
Speaker 3: open up so much for everything else. Teams going against
Speaker 3: the Bills are like, if we take out the middle
Speaker 3: short middle of the field where Kate and Shakir operate, well,
Speaker 3: we can stop this Bill's passing attack. That all changes
Speaker 3: once you incorporate Amari Cooper more into the offense.
Speaker 1: I think, at least all right, keep it going, though,
Speaker 1: Who is your disappointment so far?
Speaker 3: Team wide award to the only undefeated TEAMFL.
Speaker 2: I know their.
Speaker 3: Fans aren't disappointed right now, but if you like Marcus,
Speaker 3: you just touched on Mahomes perfectly, Like bo Nicks has
Speaker 3: more Fantasy points than he does right, Like that's where
Speaker 3: we're at.
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones has more.
Speaker 3: Fantasy points than Patrick Mahomes right now, Travis Kelcey is
Speaker 3: averaging less than nine fantasy points per game forty one
Speaker 3: yards per game. He does not have a touchdown. The
Speaker 3: two Chiefs that I think we could have really relied upon,
Speaker 3: in Isaiah Pacheco and she Rice.
Speaker 2: They're gone.
Speaker 3: We don't know when, if at all, either one of them,
Speaker 3: and add Marquise Brown to that, if they're coming back,
Speaker 3: but then Xavier Worthy's been insanely boom er bus. There's
Speaker 3: no Chiefs wad receiver you could start with any sort
Speaker 3: of confidence right now. Travis Kelsey's disappointing, Patrick Mahomes is disappointing.
Speaker 3: Kareem Hunt is their best fantasy asset right now outside
Speaker 3: of their defense. That is how far we have fallen
Speaker 3: with the Mighty Chiefs offense look best team in the league,
Speaker 3: super Bowl favorites, probably gonna win their third in a row.
Speaker 3: I get all of that, but for fantasy this team
Speaker 3: is a nightmare. It is abysmal, and if you covered
Speaker 3: up their names, they'd all be on the waiver wire.
Speaker 2: Outside of Freaki, no.
Speaker 1: Percent, And people have asking me I'm sure they're getting
Speaker 1: the questions too, can you drop Patrick Mahomes And at
Speaker 1: this point I think the answer is absolutely yes, because
Speaker 1: he's just the name pretty much at this point.
Speaker 2: Or trade not for me. My big disappointment is Sam Laporta.
Speaker 1: And I mean this is a guy that was going
Speaker 1: off the board as the first side end in pretty
Speaker 1: much every fantasy league, or at least the vast majority of.
Speaker 2: Them, and scrolling, scrolling, scrolling.
Speaker 1: Right now he is the tight end nineteen and that
Speaker 1: might be even higher than you would have thought for
Speaker 1: a guy like Sam laport just one game with double
Speaker 1: digit fantasy points, just one touchdown, has not had sixty
Speaker 1: receiving yards yet in a game.
Speaker 2: Sure we thought Jamison Williams is going to make an impact,
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: Think we thought it was going to be this impactful
Speaker 1: what he has done both for the Lions and what
Speaker 1: he has done to Sam Laporta. It's getting harder and
Speaker 1: harder to start him every week, even in a year
Speaker 1: where tight end production is down. Sam laporter really has
Speaker 1: just been one of the major disappointments. And with the
Speaker 1: Lions playing well and Jamison Williams playing well, I don't
Speaker 1: see it changing any time soon, all right, So those
Speaker 1: are disappointments. We will get to the Happier Award coming
Speaker 1: up after the break. We'll also have the waiver Wire
Speaker 1: stick around for more of the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at this week's waiver wire options. Floyda.
Speaker 2: Who should we be looking at this week?
Speaker 3: It's a good quarterback week if you need one. Sam Darnold.
Speaker 3: I don't know why he's still available in over forty
Speaker 3: percent of leagues. Drake May has been bawling out since
Speaker 3: he got the starter. Gig Tua Tongue of Iloa is
Speaker 3: set to return to practice with the hopes of returning
Speaker 3: to games this week, and then Jamis Winston. They said,
Speaker 3: dtr not sure if he will be able to play
Speaker 3: or not in this upcoming week. Tyrone Tracy Junior was
Speaker 3: still the lead back even with Devin singletary back. Tank
Speaker 3: Bigsby just continues to run so well that he needs
Speaker 3: to be added right now. Ray Davis a lot of
Speaker 3: it came late, but he still has played really well
Speaker 3: these last two games. Alexander Madison remained the lead runner
Speaker 3: even with Zamir White returning. Tyler Algier is one injury
Speaker 3: away from being an every week must start. Plus he's
Speaker 3: kind of got owned standalone value and Daranis Johnson is
Speaker 3: the past catching back as long as Travis Etn is sidelined,
Speaker 3: then a couple of packers Romeo Dobbs and Dontavian Wicks.
Speaker 3: You want pieces of packers passing attack. Ricky Piersoll him
Speaker 3: and Jawan Jennings are going to have to step up
Speaker 3: for the forty nine Ers now, Trey Tucker, someone's gonna
Speaker 3: have to get volume there for the Raiders too to
Speaker 3: at well, getting a lot of volume with the big
Speaker 3: guys sidelined Alec Pierce, Damario Douglas, don't overlook what he
Speaker 3: has done with Drake may Hunter Henry especially, do not
Speaker 3: overlook what he did in London this past week. And
Speaker 3: then a couple of deeper tight ends Lakwan's boy, John
Speaker 3: new Smith and Sanders is getting volume from Andy Dalton
Speaker 3: in the Panthers offense.
Speaker 1: Hey, team, that's right, Bucky Roggs way back, but as well, Laquid.
Speaker 1: If you are you know, if you're spending a bunch
Speaker 1: of fab or you got your top waiver priority, who are.
Speaker 2: You looking at this week? From that list?
Speaker 4: There's a lot of guys. Drake May honestly is that
Speaker 4: top priority at the quarterback position for me, just based
Speaker 4: on how he's been playing back to back games when
Speaker 4: nineteen and twenty fans, he points he's playing better than
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes right now, and that sounds crazy to say
Speaker 4: for a rookie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some more awards as we
Speaker 1: get to our mid season Fantasy awards. Most Valuable Player
Speaker 1: I said be ended on a little bit of a
Speaker 1: happier note there. So who is your MVP at this point,
Speaker 1: lakwan Joe Mixon.
Speaker 4: I mean he's shown up and showed out in every
Speaker 4: game he's played full, twenty six plus Fantasy points in
Speaker 4: every game he's played in a full and I cannot
Speaker 4: be more happier for him because he makes this Texans
Speaker 4: offense still dangerous even without their top playmaker in Nico Collins.
Speaker 4: Just look at how he's moving right now. This is
Speaker 4: the quickest and the fastest we've probably seen Joe Mixon
Speaker 4: play like. He just looks like a completely revised running
Speaker 4: back right now. I mean, he's playing great. This is
Speaker 4: the best start he's had fantasy wise in his career,
Speaker 4: so hopefully he keeps it going because he's definitely looking
Speaker 4: like a top three running back this season all ranks.
Speaker 1: So we got a veteran running back for one MVP
Speaker 1: candidate Florida. Who is your most valuable player? Jaden Daniels
Speaker 1: And it would have been so much.
Speaker 3: Sweeter had he not got hurt and I could come
Speaker 3: out here and say he was the fantasy QB one.
Speaker 3: He is the fantasy QB two right now, behind only
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson. But if you have Jaden Daniels, you did
Speaker 3: not pay that Lamar Jackson price. You didn't pay the
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson price or the Kyler Murray price. You waited
Speaker 3: and got him probably as a borderline QB one, maybe
Speaker 3: even some of you took him as your second quarterback.
Speaker 3: Now he is an every week must start, gonna win
Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year, it looks like, and every week
Speaker 3: he just continues to amaze. Doesn't matter the matchup, nothing,
Speaker 3: He is getting the most out of this offense. And
Speaker 3: just please be okay, Jade, and my fantasy team really
Speaker 3: need you with the Commanders really need you and all
Speaker 3: of that. But yeah, getting a QB the potential QB
Speaker 3: one at around like nine price that that puts him
Speaker 3: in the running for MVP.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, and it's funny because you talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, you didn't pay the Lamar Jackson price. But
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of people and it's not really
Speaker 1: a surprise who both who had both Lamar Jackson and
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels Because you could go early and get Lamar
Speaker 1: and maybe if you wanted to just sort of, you know,
Speaker 1: kick the tires, you could get Daniels a little bit later.
Speaker 1: And so now a lot of people sort of have
Speaker 1: this weekly dilemma of who do I start in which
Speaker 1: case I might trade one of them, probably trade Jason,
Speaker 1: try Daniels, but trade one of them for sure, because
Speaker 1: you don't want this headache every single week.
Speaker 2: My MVP.
Speaker 1: Going back to the veteran running back, well, Dereck Henry,
Speaker 1: who we all.
Speaker 2: Wanted this to happen. We all wanted him in Baltimore.
Speaker 1: We got our wish, and usually when we do, it
Speaker 1: goes sideways on us.
Speaker 2: This has not been the case.
Speaker 1: You see that the twenty two point six Fantasy points
Speaker 1: per game so far this season, he has scored at
Speaker 1: least one touchdown in every single one of the Ravens games.
Speaker 1: Of course, he plays on Monday Night against the Buccaneers
Speaker 1: will try to keep that streak going. But as good
Speaker 1: as he has been so far this year and right
Speaker 1: now he leads the NFL and rushing yards. The thing
Speaker 1: we know about Derek Henry is that he gets better
Speaker 1: later in the season. When the weather gets colder in
Speaker 1: November in December, he gets tougher because you have dbs
Speaker 1: making business decisions. When they see El Tractorcido coming around
Speaker 1: the corner with the football, you see him with one
Speaker 1: of those nasty, vicious stiff arms that turns into a
Speaker 1: meme at some point later on in the season. Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry has been everything we wanted him to be, and
Speaker 1: somehow I feel like he hasn't even reached the ceiling yet.
Speaker 1: Eight rushing touchdowns, one receiving touchdown. We talked about him
Speaker 1: maybe reaching twenty. That is very much still in the
Speaker 1: cards for Derrick Henry in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: So those are all the players that we are loving
Speaker 1: through the first seven weeks of the season. Now let's
Speaker 1: talk about one of our favorite moments from the past week.
Speaker 1: And as we were scouring the interwebs to find a
Speaker 1: moment we loved this season. Turns out it takes place
Speaker 1: with Mike Florio's Buffalo Bills, where the rookie steps in
Speaker 1: actually help the veteran Keon Coleman kind of explaining what
Speaker 1: he was doing by kind of pointing some things out
Speaker 1: to Amari Cooper. You tell him what to do on
Speaker 1: the touchdown on his touchdown, n man, cause you know
Speaker 1: the play. I just helped him confirm it.
Speaker 3: That's how it was. It looked like there was some
Speaker 3: kind of communication between YouTube though before for the staff.
Speaker 2: As name of the game, you never can get fine
Speaker 2: off over communicating. Make sure everybody doing what they need
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: You gotta love ke On Coleman, right, I mean the
Speaker 1: Florida I know, I'm sure Bills fans absolutely love keonk
Speaker 1: and just for not for just what he does on
Speaker 1: the field, but just for who he is as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and watching this game as closely as I was,
Speaker 3: I was like, at this play, I'm sitting there like,
Speaker 3: i'mara doesn't know what he's doing right now, and then
Speaker 3: three seconds later I'm like, oh, he knows to catch
Speaker 3: a touchdown. Though, I love the line that that Keon said.
Speaker 3: I also tweeted out yesterday because remember after Week one,
Speaker 3: everyone was like, how did how did the NFL let
Speaker 3: the Chiefs get Exavier Worthy? I tweeted out, how did
Speaker 3: the NFL let the Bills get key On Coleman? Because
Speaker 3: he went for one hundred and twenty five yards and
Speaker 3: he only had a touchdown? Like, great person and a
Speaker 3: good player as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a whole lot of fun. I mean
Speaker 2: it looked Lakwan like.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you know, you're just you're the new guy, right,
Speaker 1: you need somebody to help you.
Speaker 2: I didn't matter how old or young they are. You
Speaker 2: just sometimes you just need somebody to kind of help
Speaker 2: you go better.
Speaker 4: In response by Keon Coleman too, basically covering, I'm like, nah,
Speaker 4: you know to play. He's like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 4: You just I just confirmed it for him like that.
Speaker 4: That was such a solid veteran.
Speaker 2: Move right there. I love that.
Speaker 1: So congrats to Keyon Coleman and Amari Cooper and the
Speaker 1: Bills offense. Looking forward to seeing what they have in
Speaker 1: store for us for the rest of the season. But
Speaker 1: that's a good place for us to sort of put
Speaker 1: this one down for today. That is It's we are done.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Show presented by Uber Eats. You know the drill, Tell
Speaker 1: two friends to tell two friends, rate review and remember.
Speaker 1: Deadlines are great. I love the wishing sound they make
Speaker 1: as they rush by. We say, take care of yourselves
Speaker 1: and we would talk to you tomorrow. WO No, I
Speaker 1: don't know.
