1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: Goal Steelers Nation Radio. We are back. I'm Dale Lawley

3
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: here with Matt Williamson here on the Drive, brought to

4
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: you by FedEx and Word. Here for the playoffs, the

5
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: Steelers postseason, and it is time for the fantasy football focus.

6
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: Matt and I will pick we'll pick the lineups here

7
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: for Saturday's just Saturday. We're doing right now, right because

8
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: Saturday's games. Maybe we could preview these games a little

9
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: bit too, you know, if this will help us do

10
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: that focus on what we're expecting and whatnot. Um. I

11
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: feel for the Raiders. I think I've mentioned this earlier

12
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: in the week. They had to play the latest game

13
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: and overtime on top of that, and they have to

14
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: fly here and they you know, to this neck of

15
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: the woods, and they're just happy to be in the playoffs,

16
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: no question about it. I Mean, if you ask the

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: Steelers would you play Friday or the first game in

18
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: tim Buck two, they would have said yes. But still

19
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: they're getting a little bit of the short end to

20
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: stick on red. They were at home for that game

21
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: though it's not like you know, they had to travel,

22
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: which really stun but Um, so we'll look here. We're

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: entering the NFL. Uh single entry five dollar double up

24
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: for Saturday's games. Um, we get the Bills at. We're

25
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: looking at defenses, the Bengals at, the Patriots are, and

26
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders at. I'm really fond of the Bills. I

27
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: don't love their chances to win this game, but I

28
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: I put a couple of bucks on them to win

29
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with the I think rookie quarterback at

30
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: his first playoff game. Yeah, I mean defense is pretty

31
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: darn good. Um, it sounds like it's going to be

32
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: cold there. I mean, no kidding, um, but not crazy weather.

33
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll be wind and things, but I don't

34
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be extreme snow or rain. The difference

35
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Raiders is seven dollars. I

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: don't hate the Raiders. I think look at sacks they're

37
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: gonna get, They're gonna get, they're gonna get to the quarterback. Yes,

38
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 1: you know their Bengals allowed fifty sacks this year. Yeah.

39
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: Last segment we talked about and Burrows aggressive. Oh yeah, yeah,

40
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't value the football as much as you think

41
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: for accurate game manager style player. He puts it in

42
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: harm's way. There's no doubt. Um. We mentioned, you know,

43
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: last segment that TJ needs to be awesome for the

44
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: Steelers to win that game, nex Crosby, Crosby and Doc

45
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: Way and and that the line was great against the Chargers.

46
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's better than they rushers. Yeah, that's their

47
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: key to victory too. I think they're gonna lose, yeah,

48
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But can they get four

49
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: or five points? Yeah? I think that game may be

50
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: a little more of a shootout type, although the quote

51
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: weather is gonna be cold there as well, Um, so

52
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: you're being you'd be counting on the sacks, whereas I

53
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: think the Bills Patriots game will be a little more

54
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: low scoring. I'm fine with. What about the Bengals though?

55
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: Do you like the Bengals, Trey Hendrickson? They're more expensive

56
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: than the Raiders, though, weren't there only two or four

57
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: hundred dollars twenty bucks? If you think that, you think

58
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals are going to win. They're not a great

59
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: tackling defense, which I think is a problem against Jacobs obviously,

60
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: but that might come into more of the running back

61
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: selection as opposed to defensive selection. Car does value the football, Yeah,

62
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: I say, I don't think he's gonna be willy nilly

63
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: with it or anything, but you never know. I prefer

64
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: the it's weird. I think the Bengals win, but I

65
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: think I'd rather start the Raiders. D Yeah, because the

66
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: past all said and done, it's only seven dollars. I

67
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: think we start the Bills. Okay. I was going to

68
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: suggest start the Raiders if we need if we have

69
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: extra money. I mean, I don't know that we're gonna

70
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: need seven hundred dollars. I think just looking at some

71
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: of the prices. I looked this stuff over last night.

72
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: We went over yesterday in the show. Uh, you want

73
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: to look at tight ends next? This is where see,

74
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: here's where you save money because the most expensive tight

75
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: end in Saturday's games is Darren Waller. I prefer Knox.

76
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: They're number one against tight end. I mean they have

77
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: all those strong safety types Hunter Henry Dawson. Knox is Hunter,

78
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: Henry is forty five hundred, CJ is Zoma. I don't

79
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: know how the Bills are against tight ends ranking wise,

80
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: their second, there, first and second tight end teams in

81
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: the league. Playing in everybody can have Waller in the lineup.

82
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: Then that your DFS experience is probably don't look at

83
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: those numbers, get scared and start with Waller and then

84
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: build their team around because he's cheap to I mean,

85
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: he's not seven thousand dollars. Yeah, yeah, it seems like

86
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: he should be. I mean, he's gonna be chalky if

87
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: you're playing this again, we're in a double up here. Yeah,

88
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: we just gotta finish in the top half of the

89
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: of the fact that the rest of the world has

90
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: him too just doesn't hurt us, right, Okay, I'm fine

91
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: with it. Hundred for Darren Waller, we can live with that. Uh.

92
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: At quarterback, Josh Allen, I get it. Joe Burrow seventy. Strangely,

93
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: I heard a stat that I don't know the number,

94
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: but Allen hasn't put up great numbers in freezing temperatures.

95
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: You know, you have one thinks he's frum Buffalo. He's

96
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: a big, strong guy, but I guess he's a California boy,

97
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, and it just is not lit it up

98
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: on in cold well. I don't expect him to him.

99
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: I mean Patriots are second. Uh. Burrows seventy three hundred.

100
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: Derek Carr fifty eight hundred Mac Jones. Okay, one of

101
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: my face ever new Fantasy out analysts is a guy

102
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: named Dwayne Dwayne McFarland. He did a lot of work

103
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: on his own and Pro Football Focus just hired him.

104
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: He's the one that does all the utilization reports, you know,

105
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: route run, you know usage all that. And I heard

106
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: him talking today and he said Brady's his number one

107
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: quarterback for the weekend, and Burrows too, and they're gonna throw,

108
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: They're gonna throw. Yeah. I don't have any problem plugging

109
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: Burrow and I don't care if he gets sacked. He's

110
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: never gonna calm down. I mean, he's never gonna not

111
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: take chances. I mean, and I think the Raiders will

112
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: score enough to keep them yeah, right right, interested in

113
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: continuing to school. No, I think Burrows a really good

114
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: start this week. I totally agree on that. By the

115
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: same token, that's why I don't start the top running

116
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: back in the board, mit Joe Mix Raiders. The Raiders

117
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: are thirty against opposing running back and I get that,

118
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they'd like to run the ball, but

119
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: the passing game has been so successful for them. And

120
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 1: you know, Jacobs is sixty and contrary of popular belief,

121
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: Mixon doesn't play every snap, right, I mean he'll come

122
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: out in situations. Who's for Jacobs? Okay? Damien Harris is Okay,

123
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 1: I went single Tarry then single Tarry is at fifty hundred.

124
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be pretty chalky, I would imagine,

125
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: But I mean he is the every down back now

126
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: how snaps? I mean every situation, he's the top option.

127
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Remonderie Stevenson is all right, some j p rhyan is

128
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: or throwing a lot. Ryan might be a decent flex

129
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: type guy. Is it too not chocky? But is it

130
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: too expensive to go single Tarry Jacobs? Well, we can

131
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: find out. We'll plug it into sea. That leaves us

132
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: fifty five, leaves US one dollars to fill three wide

133
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: receiver spots in a flex. Okay, I like that combination.

134
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: But we went expensive on defense and tight end already. Yeah,

135
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: that's my concern. I'm not super expensive. Went we went

136
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: upper class on the quarterback too. Yeah, we got to

137
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: know him, but let's see what the receivers looked like

138
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: here before we Uh. It wouldn't break my heart though,

139
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: to downgrade to the Raiders. The or Knox. Jamar Chase

140
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: is seventy hundred. We can't afford that, and he didn't

141
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: do well against here. He didn't. The Raiders are actually

142
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: fifth against opposing wide receivers. Digs is seventy five hundred

143
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: Patriots or third against opposing wide receivers. Money renfro is

144
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: sixty Bengals, although he didn't do much again in the

145
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: seven the first matchup. Tee Higgins is sixty two hundred.

146
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: It's pretty cheap. That's not bad. Jacoby Myers is five thousand.

147
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: A big drop off here. Now, this is so I

148
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: might like Tyler Boyd if he's Tyler, I kind of

149
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: like that. That's not bad. The middle of the field.

150
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: Kendrick Borne is forty four hundred. I don't like any

151
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: of those Patriots receivers. Emmanuel Sanders is forty three. Cole

152
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: Beasley is Za Jones at four thousand. I would say,

153
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: how about Day Jones or Gabe Davis. Gabe Davis is okay,

154
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: uh aglart hundred, Isaiah Mackenzie thirty hundred, Brian Edwards at

155
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: um anyone else? Dost not really anybody that I would

156
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: look and see, Yeah, that's a that's a real value.

157
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: I think those are the guys. Boyd's my favorite. Yeah,

158
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: let's plug him in. Now, what's that leave us for? What?

159
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,599
Speaker 1: Two spots hundred for two receiver fifty six hundred average

160
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: for two receivers and a flex. What if we zid

161
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: we could go Za and Tee Higgins like that, Hey Jones,

162
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: that leaves us with then for the for the flex spot,

163
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: that's not bad. That would get that would get us

164
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: renfro for the flex. We just miss out on on

165
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: the top running back. So if we if we go actually,

166
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: if we go with the Raiders defense over the Bills, yeah,

167
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: we might be able to afford a top. We could

168
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: get Mixing or Digs or some one of those guys.

169
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: Because our flex. Let me see what that. I don't

170
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: dislike that at all, but that gets a seventy three hundred,

171
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: which would get us Mixing. Okay, I like Ren forro

172
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: Verse Mike Hilton too, but they didn't use it the

173
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: first time. It wasn't Let's look, look, I'm not gonna

174
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: put a ton of stock on what happened the first

175
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm not either because it usually does on the list

176
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: of me. But you can get you could get mixing

177
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: at were talking about our flex. For our flex, you

178
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: could get Renfro at six and we could plug the

179
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: Bills back in on on the kind that you can

180
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: get Damian Harris. He's a good player. Stevenson's fighting some

181
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: stuff too. You can get Stevenson at Dawson knocks p

182
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: Rhyan Bolden. I mean we almost have to, Yeah, which

183
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: one do you prefer? Is this what it comes down to? Financially?

184
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: Here is it? We go with Renfron Bills Verse Raiders

185
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: and mixing? Yes, m hm, mixing? Uh? In the first

186
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: game against the Raiders, where's that game at? Well, he

187
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: didn't play, didn't he He didn't play. There's game scripts

188
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: where mixing could be just okay. The last two games

189
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: for him that he played in against Baltimore in Kansas City,

190
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: he tested him last week six targets and eight targets.

191
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, yeah, I mean so he's so he

192
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: had thirty one and a half points from fifteen point

193
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: six points um Renfro last month. I don't dislike the

194
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: Raiders either. Yeah, I don't know that whatever that gap

195
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: is from. Well, you say Renfro didn't do much the

196
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: last few games he's ever he'said thirteen, twenty point six

197
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: and sixteen point nine. But do we want renfroze A

198
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: and Waller. That's the problem. I don't love that part

199
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: of it, So I guess I and I. I don't

200
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: think the Raiders are that much of a gap behind

201
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: the bills. I think that that money is a little skewed,

202
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: that it's too much. But I would like to have

203
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Renfro in lineup. I think he's gonna have a very

204
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: good game, But I think I think I'll go mixing. Well,

205
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: you could get Renfro, you could. You could pivot, go

206
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: with mixing and instead of Higgins, have Renfro. But but

207
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:33,239
Speaker 1: Higgins we got, we got a nice boyd Higgins Burrow. Yeah,

208
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think I like the original better

209
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: than that. Could we get Renfro instead of Z with mixing?

210
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: We do. Let's put mixing and the Raiders D in

211
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: there mixing for the original decision the Raiders D. That

212
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: leads us with an extra two dollars here. Could we

213
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: turn Waller into Knox and Z into Renfro. I don't

214
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: know if that's gonna do it, because he's Knox. Is

215
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: only six hundred dollars cheap. I was thinking it was

216
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: more than that. That doesn't do it. Okay, how's this curious?

217
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: I'm fine with the original then any Waller, we have

218
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars left over, but we thought many guys

219
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,599
Speaker 1: to pick from. Dude, I mean we could use the

220
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: Patriots defense instead instead of the Raiders. Bills might score forty. Yeah.

221
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: I feel better about the Raiders. Best day is a

222
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: really good day. Yeah. And if that happens in this one,

223
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: I think the I don't know if the Bengals are

224
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: putting forty up on the Raiders, I don't think so. Okay,

225
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. So what we got here? We

226
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: got Burrow. We got Burrow at se Singletary at fifty

227
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: d I like that, Josh Jacobs at six hundred. We

228
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: get the three best running backs. Yeah, we have three

229
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: best running back So I mean we're gonna Tyler Boyd

230
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: at a wide receiver, Tee Higgins at wide receiver, z

231
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: A Jones at wide receiver for four thousand, Darren Waller

232
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: at fifty seven hundred, Joe Mixing at the Raiders defense.

233
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: I like it. I mean that Bengals, I mean, there's

234
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: no way around it. In the four games late, but

235
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: we're heavy in the Bengals passing game against the defense.

236
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of Las Vegas and since like

237
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna know, coming out of that first game makes sense,

238
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: but we'll still have Singletary going against a Patriots defense.

239
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: It's not been good against a run and he catches

240
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: some passes and he doesn't leave the field much. I mean,

241
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: they've really dedicated themselves a Singletary, which, yeah, I think

242
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm rocking it in before you do. Just one thing

243
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm curious about. I'm not going to change it. But

244
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: Zay Jones's recent Fantasy production he's been He's been tremendous.

245
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: Is that's curious what the numbers were. He didn't go

246
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: off last week necessarily, but if you look at his

247
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: before that was really good. He's getting targets. Yeah, even

248
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: last week he got he got eight targets last week,

249
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: even with Waller back, right. That's that the kind of

250
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: thing I was I was thinking about since week four,

251
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: te actually since week twelve really where it started. He

252
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: got seven targets against the Cowboys, uh, five against Washington,

253
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: seven against Kansas City, nine against Cleveland, eight against Denver,

254
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: ten against Indianapolis and eight against the Chargers. He's the

255
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: number one receiver, I think, Rent Well I'm talking about

256
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: they're not They're Renfroze. Numbers have gone down. They have

257
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: now Waller's back, which puts a little bit of a

258
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: wrench into it. But no, you're not wrong. I mean

259
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: he finished, he only had one, he only had one touchdown,

260
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: which is the flying ointment um. But forty seven catches

261
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: for five seventy six yards, and most of that was

262
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season. I mean he's

263
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: really turned on since Ruggs accident. For sure. They finally

264
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: figured out, hey, we can use this guy, and he's

265
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: been there. Their top, their most targeted guy, because if

266
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: you look early in the year two targets, he didn't

267
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: get a single target against the Steelers in week two

268
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: one target, one target, two targets, zero targets, one on target,

269
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: got four against the Giants, three against Kansas City the

270
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: first time, two against Cincinnati when they played in that game. Uh,

271
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: then he got and then all of a sudden in

272
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: week twelve seven, they finally figured out week from week

273
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: twelve on this forty seven catches for five forty six

274
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: yards is really all from week twelve, everyone start doubling

275
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: Renfro and you know, right, no, I lock it up.

276
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: I think we would if I told you right now

277
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: that Day's gonna get seven targets. I think he's worth

278
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: the money. Yeah, you know, you know, maybe if he

279
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: gets if he gets five for sixty yards, it's worth

280
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: it's worth the money, right, he's our cheapest guy. Yeah,

281
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: and he probably won't be highly used, is the beauty

282
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: of it? Probably not right, right, like Waller will be

283
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I'm sure Renfro will be highly used. If

284
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: you yeah, um, would you rather have in this in

285
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: that game? Renfro or Boyd? I think he's better. I don't.

286
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with, but I mean, yeah, I'd rather

287
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: ren Fro on my football team. All I know is

288
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: that I do believe. I think that the in the

289
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: first game showed it. Um, the Raiders are going to

290
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: do whatever they can to make sure the Chase doesn't

291
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: beat them. And and if that's the case, Higgins and

292
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: Boyd are gonna see a lot of targets. The thing

293
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: about the Raiders too, is they're the most predictable defense

294
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: in the league. They're the only one that's dedicated to

295
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: the Seattle cover three. Keep everything in front of you.

296
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: You know they're they're not gonna give up the deep

297
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: ball to Chase, and they're gonna come up and tackle.

298
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: If he catches eight balls and you know they comes

299
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: up and tackle in front of him, that very well

300
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,239
Speaker 1: could happen. He certainly could have a big game. He's

301
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: a phenomenal player, but the defensive style to me is

302
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: more boyd. Yeah, you know what I mean? I agree.

303
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: I agree. Let's take a look here at some player

304
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: news we get into this here. Um, it's Thursday, folks,

305
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: They're starting to matter. Mike Evans with the hamstring upgraded

306
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: to a full participant in thurs Day's practice. That's uh.

307
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: They need him bad in one of the Eagles. I

308
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: think I'd travel sleigh on him. I'd traveled two guys

309
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: with him. It could be a big gronk game. I

310
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: would give him the the Davante Adams Cravens treatment without question. Uh,

311
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hills an easy game for the Bucks. I don't

312
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: think so either. Tyreek Hill was limited again today. He

313
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: looked bad the last three song, like in pain and

314
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: really struggling out. I mean, I just they kept showing

315
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: the replay of him trying to come across the formation

316
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: down by the goal line. Yeah, pre snap, but he's

317
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: just pulling up. He can't even run. Yeah, he's got issues.

318
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: If you get a little COVID, he'll right right. I

319
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 1: say that jokingly. But Mark Caboli from the athletic similar

320
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: athlete to Tyree, Yeah, similar, he had COVID. Yeah. The

321
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: next week, we're in Los Angeles going to the Chargers game,

322
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: and I was already up in the press box. He's

323
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: walking into the stadium just strolling, just strolling on in

324
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: towards Achilles. That. I know. I'm not making fun of Mark,

325
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: but I mean, that's craziness. There beens And I actually

326
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 1: heard a study with with I can't remember the doctor's name,

327
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: but he was on against Serious NFL and he talked

328
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: about how COVID is. They're finding that COVID has affected

329
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 1: people in their joints and ligaments. I mean, one thing

330
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: we do know is it affects everyone differently. We saw

331
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: this firsthand the last time these teams played, when we

332
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: weren't sure this time of the week because Tyreek could

333
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: play this ELSA and it's all we talked about all

334
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,239
Speaker 1: week and Tyreek struggled in that game. Did it hit

335
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: him harder than it does some other people? Like Cam

336
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: Newton said that last year, like it killed me, you know.

337
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett said that last year, Lamar it hurt bad.

338
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I mean if maybe, if

339
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: you're the elite elite of athletes, Tyreek, Miles Garrett, Cam Newton,

340
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, it hurts you more than others. And market

341
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: finally tuned. Yeah, yeah, it's a little different than your Yeah, exactly.

342
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: One little spark plug isn't quite up to speed, right,

343
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: Who knows? But I mean I know he's not if

344
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: he's limited again tomorrow? Yeah right, right? Right? Is he

345
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: a decoy? Right? Right? And I bet he dresses right?

346
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: But how much does he play? And what how do

347
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: they use them? Yeah? You figured that out in the

348
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: first quarter and then said, okay, we don't need to

349
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: double him, you know, we can doublet. Miles Sanders with

350
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: the hand injury was limited in practice. It sounds like

351
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: it they're optimistic. Jacoby Myers was listed his question is

352
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: officially listed as questionable for the game against the Bills

353
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: that Saturday, So those designations had to come out today. Oh, yeah,

354
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: that's not a Thursday practice, right. Damien Harris also listed

355
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: his question. Well, yeah, they're flying to Buffalo. I assume

356
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: they fly to Buffalo. They have to imagine, right, Yeah. Uh,

357
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: Damian Harris officially questionable. Um so Therey Stevenson stuff. He

358
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: has no designation. Um it's a fantasy nugget though. I

359
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: mean Stevenson, if he's the guy, could be pretty cheap

360
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: for dfs. Yeah, you know, assuming seven head injuries scare.

361
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: Memmanuel Sanders has no injury designation. I don't know if

362
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: he's a starter anymore. I don't know. I don't think

363
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: he can. Um. Najia Harris didn't practice today, but Mike

364
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: Tomlins said he's going to practice tomorrow. Don't worry about that, folks.

365
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna play. In fact, the Steelers may not have

366
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: a single player on their injury report this week. Wow,

367
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: getting at the right time. Yeah, we have a good conversation,

368
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: including getting Jujuicemth Schuster, Right, what about Juju as a

369
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: fantasy player this week? But I don't even know if

370
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: he's going to be on the list. I wonder how.

371
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: I just want to know what he costs, right, I mean,

372
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: because you said this and I don't disagree. Maybe he

373
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: only play his snaps. Maybe, I mean you might play

374
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: start to finish. Yeah, if he's like not a knee,

375
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: or he may be like three thousand dollars. Yes, he

376
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: might not even be. You might be able to really

377
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: get some some studs in your line up to get

378
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: you and they play Sunday. We'll do that line up tomorrow.

379
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: We might need to look into that. You might look.

380
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: I'll do a search for Juju and see how much

381
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: he costs. Just four past is for thirty five yards

382
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: for three thousand dollars. He was worth it all on

383
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: the end zone. Yeah. Yeah. Is this a DFS role

384
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: that they don't change their totals. They start whatever they

385
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: open at, that's what they stay at. That's one of

386
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: the flaws or one of the things that you can exploit. Well,

387
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: it's something that you definitely keep an eye and that

388
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean not when I'm usually when I'm reading through

389
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: the lineups, I don't mention the guys who are on

390
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: I R because they're not gonna play well. In this case,

391
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: guy's coming off of I R. We feel if we

392
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: feel like he's gonna play, if they act, they'll they don't.

393
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: They'll they would probably wait until Saturday to activate him

394
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: before they leave. But if they do well, and or

395
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: if I have a pretty good feelings, just say, if

396
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: you're a practice and he's going I'm playing, well, you

397
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: get a chance to talk to him. But right right, yeah,

398
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: and you could probably get an inkling of from watching

399
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: practice if there's a chance he plays or not for

400
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: our purposes, um, you can double ark Bucks Cliff Kingsbury

401
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: saying that J. J. Watt returned to practice on Thursday

402
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: but was very limited. Yeah. I got the impression he

403
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: might only play ten snaps if he play, if he

404
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: dresses at all, Well, I could tell you Juju was

405
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 1: not very limited, right right, right? You know he just

406
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: he practiced. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he practiced. That's good stuff,

407
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, Mike. Then in fact that Deante Johnson said

408
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: he looked good out there, so yeah, looks smooth. I'm

409
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: not sure that that injury is going to be had

410
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: a big setback next day, I mean upper body stuff.

411
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. This one's interesting. The Bucks signed John

412
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: Brown to their practice squad, did they really interesting? Maybe

413
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: not for this week, maybe next week. He's not bad

414
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: veteran that would GI up speed pretty quick. Interesting. Yeah,

415
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: that's fun to keep an eye on. Ronald Jones remains

416
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: sideline for Thursday's practice. I don't think it is either

417
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournett. Um, there's good news on him yet, is there.

418
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: They said he returned to action, but I don't know

419
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: how much action. Very vague, yeah, Tee Higgins. Uh. Zach

420
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: Taylor saying he will be active for Saturday's wild card

421
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: game against the Raiders. Nothing wrong with him. I mean

422
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: he had a flip that dropt up, but he's gonna play. Um.

423
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: Very strange note, but you mentioned that John Brown thing.

424
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: This is not at all fantasy roll. Did you see

425
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: Eric Weddle signed with the Rams. Yeah, he's a play

426
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: in two years. It wasn't good when he did play. Yeah, alright,

427
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: they're in the same draft. Yeah, I know, I know

428
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: nobodies in the same draft, and everyone loves a guy,

429
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: but just odd. Darryll Williams limited again today for the Chiefs.

430
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: We think c is playing. Huh uh. They're saying he's

431
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: still uncertain. Okay, I got the impression it was more

432
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: likely than unlikely. In fact, he officially did not participate

433
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: in Thursday's practice. We know that already. Uh yeah, do

434
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: we have a chief's practice report, then all they must be.

435
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking about again. I'm looking here at on road

436
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: to where I can look at this. I mean, I

437
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: know neither one of us are a huge fans, but

438
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: Hill with a Hill with a heel and if he's

439
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: out and Williams is, I mean they're a little shorthanded

440
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: at them a little bit. Yeah, I mean I also

441
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: might consider, since there's a fantasy segment, wonder a Pringle

442
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: cost to Pringle and Juju might be real cheap. Yeah.

443
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: Here here's their official injury report. Darryll Williams limited with

444
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: a toe fly. There was Hilaire with the shoulder, did

445
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: not practice. M cool. Orlando Brown has a calf. He

446
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: was a full participant, Willie Gave with a risk full,

447
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill with the heel limited, Travis Kelsey with the

448
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: hip full. Okay, Um, I don't think they listed Yeah,

449
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: they did list him yesterday. Okay. So c H and

450
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: Tyreek are the ones to watch and that everybody else

451
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: practiced and full for them. So but those I said,

452
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: Darryll Williams was limited, but we probably think he plays right,

453
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: but can he Toes are bad for especially for a

454
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: running back. Really bad, right, I mean if it's if

455
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: it's a turf toe, I mean, give it a go

456
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: and see what happens. And all of a sudden, now

457
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: you got Derek were trying to protect against t J One. Well,

458
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: if we're gonna be talking fantasy is the third segment

459
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: of the day is Gore somebody that's also on the

460
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: cheap two. I used him as a flex defense. I

461
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: used him as a flex last week. Um, I he's

462
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: he's the only healthy back. He had like a fifty

463
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: yard catch against the Steelers the first time. I mean

464
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: he's not bad. No, he's not. He's not bad. Yeah,

465
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: but if he's the only healthy back again, he's the

466
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: only healthy back. Yeah, against the Steelers in cheap that

467
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: might be a fantasy move to make. Yeah. Um. Chase

468
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: Edmonds with ribs said he will be active for Monday

469
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: evenings wild card game against around Rams. That's one like

470
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: today was their first day where they have to announce

471
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: anything Wednesday for them. Yeah, so that's the one to

472
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: keep in mind. James Conner will be a game time decision.

473
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: According to Cliff Kingsbury, you definitely want one without the

474
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: other there, Um, let's see here looking, I don't seeing

475
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: a whole lot of injury news. I just say, I

476
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: think you mentioned the other segment, we haven't had any

477
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: COVID news. Teams seem a lot more injured going or

478
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: a lot less injured going into Week one of the playoffs.

479
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. Everybody at this time of the

480
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: year is banged up a little bit. Yeah, I mean,

481
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: you could probably list three quarters of your roster was

482
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: something that they're playing. You're not in doubt there to

483
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: play these guys. And I don't know, we're certainly a

484
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: handful of teams that didn't have to strain last week either.

485
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: Bengals might be on one of them that had that advantage.

486
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: You know. It'll be interesting to see for sure. But uh, well,

487
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,879
