1
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: At least he's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: Williamson on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson. It's

4
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: time for the Fantasy Football Focus. And this being Wednesday,

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: my days are screwed up this week. Yeah, it's not

6
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: only the by Like you usually have the Tomlin press

7
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: conference on Tuesday. That didn't happen. I was up all

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: night Sunday, so that wasted Monday for it. Like, I'm

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: just completely discombobulated here. Like I texted Labs Bob Labriola

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: right before the show and I'm like, hey, um, it's Wednesday.

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: Do you want to come on or not. I'm like,

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: you don't have to, Matt and not. It's a bye week.

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: Take take the week off and see. You know he said, okay,

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: But I didn't never even dawned on me until I

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: got in here, like, oh, today's Wednesday. Yeah, so I

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: would the same way. I sat down, like, do we

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: labs today? You know? I think it's Wednesday? Right, they're

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: all running together anyways, start going around the league here,

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: who's practicing? Who is not? Okay, Chris Jones back at

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: practice for the Kansas City Chiefs, and you might say, well,

21
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: that's not fantasy relevant. It is for their defense. I mean,

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: he the guy that kind of makes their defense go

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: and they play. Uh where they playing this week, I'm

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: not certain of that. Tennessee. They are playing Tennessee. They

25
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: need him against Derrick Derrick Henry. That's a that's a

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: that's a big get back for them. If I mean

27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: he's on the Cam Heyward level of defensive linement. I

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: mean he's one of the top five defensive tackles in

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: the league. They're allowing six points seven yards per play

30
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: without without that's huge, that's unbelievable. Yeah. Yeah, usually a

31
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: team like leads a league if you're right around six. Yeah,

32
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: that's massive. Uh. The Chargers signed Andre Roberts. Yeah, I

33
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: saw that. I assume he's a returner. Yeah for a while,

34
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't run out and grab him. But if he's

35
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: going to be active on game days for them, if

36
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: he's the return guy, it might be in the mix.

37
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: Maybe he goes over like a Josh Palmer who has

38
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: been the three. I hope he's an NFL receiver. Yeah, yeah,

39
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: I hope it's not an indication that Williams isn't healthy. Yeah,

40
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: I there, Bye week comes in a nice spot for that,

41
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: and they'll call him to get rested up a little bit.

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: That's the one that just killed me last week. He

43
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: I think he probably shouldn't have played, probably shouldn't have

44
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: and and he did. Um. I think I got four

45
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: points out of him. He almost scored and then he

46
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: fell and laid on the ground for about five minutes.

47
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: After that, he looked like he was hurt. Yeah, that

48
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: he was just a killer. Um. Speaking of defensive players,

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: Whitney Merciless was cut by the Houston Texans earlier this week.

50
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: He's found the home already, that is with the Houston

51
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. Yeah, he's kind of like a

52
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: not quite as good as those guys, but like when

53
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: ingraman Stin we're picked up. They've been around the block,

54
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: they're they're good players. They probably don't want to play

55
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: him a ton of snaps. Darius Smith's been out for them,

56
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, that makes perfect sense. I mean, go to

57
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: a contender and maybe help him out. Yeah, that's that's uh,

58
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: giving them a guy that at least has a little

59
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: bit of a pass rush. They play Washington this week.

60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure Houston is a lovely city and all, but

61
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: if I'm Whitney merciless, I'm like, I'm much rather be

62
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: a packer than detection right now. You know what. I

63
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: sometimes these guys a total change of scenery. Be like, whoa,

64
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: things are brightening up in my life. Uh. Sammy Watkins

65
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: with the hamstring injury, did not practice on Wednesday. We'll

66
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: see what happens with him or Sean Bateman is back though,

67
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: so maybe they don't rush Sammy Watkins back. Um gets

68
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: crowded with him there. It's the story of his career.

69
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: It's a story of s Yeah. I mean he's they

70
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: got a fair amount out of him by his standards.

71
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: Earlier in the year when Bateman was out. Um, we

72
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: talked about this the other day. Bateman to me is

73
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: borderline fantasy relevant. You know, I wouldn't mind having them,

74
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: but he not Watkins wasn't really I mean, he wasn't.

75
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: If he has the Watkins role, he's not really relevant. No.

76
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: I mean they probably still throw a ton they need.

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Brown is an injury history. I mean, he'd

78
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: get a real bump if something like that happened. But

79
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: I think next year is the time down Bateman. Yeah,

80
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm not running out to grab a third receiver out

81
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: of Baltimore. Which one they want to throw the football

82
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: five times a game? And even the Duvernades of the

83
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: world play. Yeah, you know, the other guys are gonna

84
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: get run. Washington released Dustin Hopkins. They're going with Chris

85
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: Blewett as their worst the former the former kicker. Right,

86
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he was still NFL worthy erpins. He

87
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: was twelve or fourteen on field goals, ten of twelve

88
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: on extra points. Um, he missed a field like a

89
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: forty three yard or on Sunday. It just goes like

90
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: those twelve or fourteen on field goals is pretty damn good.

91
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. It's not like Bluett has this awesome

92
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: track record. You know, I can't believe he became available.

93
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: You know, he's been available forever. Um Again, we taught

94
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: it this a ton too. It's just people need to

95
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 1: appreciate what Boswell brings, the stability and the reliability. Every

96
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: year there's six or seven teams. It seems like it's

97
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: always the same teams as the Chargers that are just

98
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: like searching desperately for kickers and they never really find one. Yeah,

99
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: you don't want to start down because you know, if

100
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: you're blew it, he's one miss kick away from blowing

101
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: it right, you know, That's that's the thing. I mean,

102
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss kicks and you're not as comfortable with

103
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: your holder and your snapper. And Okay, he has one

104
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: bad game, he's gone to have a fourteen. I don't

105
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: know what the exact numbers. That's got to be above

106
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: eight percent kickoff is bad. I mean I don't, I

107
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: don't know, but who knows. But the Tavis Murray did

108
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: not practice on Wednesday for the Ravens. We were just

109
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: talking away Ravens receivers. If one of those old guys

110
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: gets out of the way, are you interested? No? Yeah,

111
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: I mean it's because activate it again. Yeah. We've seen

112
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: games here where they just don't run them. No. No,

113
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean they don't trust any of their backs. In

114
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: my opinion, be nice to get one out of the equation.

115
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: Their backs are now complimentary players as opposed to being

116
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: yeah cogs. I mean this past week they had four

117
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: guys that I think had eight or nine carries, including Lamar,

118
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: like that. They ain't gonna get doesn't help you at all, right,

119
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: and they won huge and they ran um all game. Uh.

120
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Nick Boyle returned to practice for the Ravens. He's not

121
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: Fantasy relevant in terms of the past catcher, no, but

122
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: he's important to them and he also helped. Have you

123
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: know we've already seen that. Uh you know it's it's

124
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: a two man passing game in Baltimore. This kind of

125
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: freeze that up even a little bit more. Yeah, yeah,

126
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: because he's gonna see a lot of staff. He's the

127
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: guy who's he's the blocker him and uh, what's his

128
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: favorite recard? The three pound fullback. I mean, those guys

129
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: will play a lot of snaps in this offense and

130
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: won't catch them any passes, which is great, and they're

131
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: not in the way. Curtis Samuel with the green injury,

132
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: did not practice on He's done thing. Can't count on him,

133
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: and they could really use them right now too. They

134
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: gave him good money. You're getting nothing out of him.

135
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: Here's a bad one. Ricky Seals Jones with a quad

136
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: injury didn't practice on Wednesday, and you might say, well,

137
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: it's Ricky Seals Jones. In the last two weeks he's

138
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: had nine catches for yards in a touchdown. He runs

139
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: every route. Yeah, I mean he is. They don't ever

140
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: pass block him. I mean back he runs a route.

141
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: He's like the number two wide receiver. There's not many

142
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: receivers or tight ends. You can say that about Terry

143
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: McLaurin did not practice Wednesday. He's got a hamstring. That

144
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: teams in a bad spot. To Antonio Gibson with the

145
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: shin did not practice on Wednesday. I don't know if

146
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: he'll ever practice Wednesday this year. Yeah, I don't. He's

147
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: another one. McLaurin without hamstring may not practice again this

148
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: year on Wednesday. They just rested. That team is in

149
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: a bad spot. I mean they can't rely on the defense.

150
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: Quarterback is out and it's again. If it's Patrick coming back,

151
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: isn't going to just right the ship and they'll be

152
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: great again. They could be in for a long year. Uh.

153
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, with an ankle injury, had not practice. I

154
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: know you had the question for one of your teams. Yeah,

155
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: I got too many receivers and they're all about the same.

156
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: A B to me is I've kind of dedicated myself

157
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: that he is going to be in my lineup every week.

158
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: I'd be shocked he doesn't play, but we'll see you.

159
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: But he is compromised. Tyreek Hill with that quad injury,

160
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: did not practice on Wednesday. He came back. He was

161
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: in and out of the game last weekend. He came

162
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: back into the second half, damn him and did well.

163
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: Did well. I caught a touchdown. But he's gotten through it.

164
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah about this, the Colts designated Quentin Nelson. Yeah, it

165
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 1: was great news for the tailor owners. Yeah, I'm not

166
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: all he needed for Frank Right to give him the

167
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: football more than ten times a game. Yeah, I can't

168
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: believe that they won't. But it's hasn't happened. Right, whence

169
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: his value in the football like that offense isn't so

170
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: bad anymore. You know, Hilton again is hurt. I'm sure

171
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: here good bring him up. Yeah, he was next to

172
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: t Y. Hilton did not practice. He's got a odd Uh.

173
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: We know Paris Campbell's now on I are with a

174
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: broken foot. So Pittman's a starter. Pittman's a starter. Hilton

175
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: probably plays next week. Yeah, I mean it doesn't break

176
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: my heart that I owned no shares of Hilton, but

177
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: he played pretty well. This past week. Yeah, if I

178
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: own Hilton Hotel stock so be much happier. Davis Mills

179
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: will start against the Cardinals in Week seven. No, Tyrod Taylor,

180
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't have defense a right. I mean, that's a

181
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: fantasy nightmare. It's Cooks and nobody else. Um. I don't

182
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: know what I would do about the Michigan kid. He's coming,

183
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: He's back, He's coming back. News. Wait on the list though,

184
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean I probably come with four or fifth receivers

185
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: that start over half. It's five weeks. Yeah, yeah, he's

186
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: roster bill Yeah uh, Tyree Jackson designated for return from

187
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: Inja preserved by the Eagles. He's a tight end. They

188
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: just got rid of zach Ertz and Godard might not play.

189
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: They like to play a lot of two tight end sets,

190
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: and as you mentioned, Goddard may not play this week,

191
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: but they have a twenty one day window to activate

192
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: put him on the active roster, So that doesn't mean

193
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: he's automatically no going back in and he's not fantasy relevant.

194
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: You know, I would love I mean I don't really

195
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: own him, but I mean Goddard, he need They need

196
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: to get him on the field now with Art's out,

197
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: because he could really jump up a tight end rags. Yeah,

198
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: well tending. It's very precipitous from the top. Not hard

199
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: to get over all of the guys right now. Darius

200
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: Slayton with the hamstring, practiced on Wednesday. Any interested in

201
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton. I don't think Tony's gonna play. I think

202
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: Shepherd's a fantasy starter at this point. Kwan Barkley did

203
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: not practic. I don't think he's gonna play. Uh, Tony

204
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: did not practice. I'm not seeing anything here on Jones

205
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: and that offense were really bad this week, but he

206
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: would come off in a cushion and they played a

207
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: good team. I think the Giants offenses maybe more fantasy

208
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: relevant than they are in real life. Yeah, but Slayton's

209
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: not big for me. No, I don't think I think

210
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: Shepherd's staying Panthers this week. Panthers are gonna looks like

211
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna start stuff on Gilmore. Yes, I did just

212
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: see that at times. I think their defense pretty good. Yeah,

213
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: it's not a bad defense pick up. Yeah, they're they're

214
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: a good streamer this week. Perhaps we mentioned the case

215
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: Keenum Baker Mayfield News. Do you have any interest in

216
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: case Keenum this week on the Bys. No, I mean,

217
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll get to I think the first

218
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: one fourteen points. When Case Keen, you had to start

219
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: one case Keenum or Teddy Bridgewater Teddy, I'd go with

220
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: Teddy to Teddy has better weapons, better weapons, better player. Yeah, yeah, Teddy,

221
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could do better. There's gonna be many

222
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: games this year where Denver goes in and has a

223
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: better quarterback. No, like two or three, right, Yeah, it's

224
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: not gonna be. This is warrants at all. And Judy

225
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: should be back soon for them to his side. Note

226
00:11:52,240 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: he's not playing, he's available. Yeah. Uh. The Lion promoted

227
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: Geronimo Allison to their active roster. Yeah. I saw that

228
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: they're searching for a second receiver. Yeah, they've had some injuries.

229
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: Just get a little bit of a track record. It's

230
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: definitely the best team in the league to get plucked

231
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: up and maybe impact. I mean, because the receivers are terrible,

232
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw Laton games. I mean again, we're not

233
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: he's not fantasy relevant yet, not yet. But but there's

234
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: an opportunity. I could see a path. There's a very

235
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: good path. Yeah, yeah, I mean all the other guys

236
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: that they're playing are like either first or second year guys. Yeah,

237
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: he's at least been, you know, been around the block

238
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: a couple of times. Tyrell Williams done nothing for them

239
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: even know if he's active yet. I don't know what

240
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: his story is. I thought maybe he's a trade deadline

241
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: guy or I don't know who. Dawson Knox, Yeah, this

242
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: is kind of a bomber. Surgery Tuesday on his broken hand,

243
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: make tight end crop even thinner. Yeah, he's probably up

244
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: for at least three to four weeks, if not longer

245
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: through a touchdown pass or two point conversion after breaking

246
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: his hand. Yeah, exactly. And I guess I read something

247
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: about Alan was trying to call the player. I told you,

248
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: you told me that. Yeah, he's like kill kill kill,

249
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: And they did it anyways, and he kind of shot

250
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: put it the ball into. But I was convinced Knox

251
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: was a fantasy starting tight end as of about a

252
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: week or so ago. And now you gotta wait on him.

253
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: That position is really thin. Yeah, it's just getting more

254
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: thin by the day. Um, I think it's about it

255
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: for the big news. Oh, I didn't realize the Patriots

256
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: placed Chase Win a bitch on injured reserve at the

257
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. They play the they play the Jets this week.

258
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if they blow them out. Yeah, I

259
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: don't know if they blow anybody out. I mean they

260
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: struggled against Houston and um, what's his face? They're running back.

261
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: Harris's questionable too. I think we talked about this yesterday

262
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: and the fantasy portions Monday. Steven I would make sure

263
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: Stevenson is in your league again. He's catching path is.

264
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Harris is fighting something too. They want to run the ball.

265
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: They want to play small ball, you know, So yeah,

266
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: keep an eyeing that stuff. This is the time of year.

267
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm really looking just give me a long shot running back,

268
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: you know, like the Patterson kid in Washington. I'm thinking

269
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: about picking up just because that was I don't I

270
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: thought about doing that. And here's the thing with with

271
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: picking up Patterson. When Gibson was healthy, he was still

272
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: splitting time with mckissic. Oh yeah, right, right, Patterson is

273
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: not as good as Gibson, ipso facto mckissic is going

274
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: to be the guy. They'll give him more to kiss

275
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: probably probably, but Patterson, Patterson, he'll get, He'll get eight carries,

276
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: maybe catch a pass in Mkissic will get twelve carries.

277
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: That's the thing with some of these running backs, like

278
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: the Browns are a perfect example. So Hunt and Chop

279
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: are out great, everyone's gonna pick up Johnson this week.

280
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: I get that, or even Collins last week, Like, but

281
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: you're still going to check the box and be like

282
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: he didn't do much good for on your bench for

283
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: a two week stretch. Or Herbert in Chicago, or you

284
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: know some of these guys the k C situation, Like

285
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: I know, it's desperate times and anybody that plays is

286
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: worth having, But you pick these guys up they have

287
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: a two week window to produce. You don't play them

288
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: either week, and then you wasted your time picking up

289
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: you know right right, Like my son was asking me,

290
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: like should I pick up Johnson? I'm like, if you're

291
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: gonna start and pick him up, you know, because he

292
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: doesn't have are if you're playing somebody's on, if you're

293
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: gonna block somebody else from picking him up and that move,

294
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: He's like, I have second pick on the waiver wire.

295
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick him up and try to trade him

296
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: at school before kickoff on Thursday. Well if you do that, great,

297
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: But where if the guy you're playing this week has

298
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: no running backs and you just sit there and laugh

299
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: at him? With him, what are you doing with Seattle

300
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: is calling? There's no news there either, no DJ Dallas.

301
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: They're tough to get. That's the thing problem with West

302
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: Coast teams like San Francisco, the Rams, Seattle, Espec, Shellie.

303
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: It's like Seattle, they might as well be in white.

304
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: It's like they're twelve time zones away from us. I know,

305
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: like when we were doing just last week leading up

306
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: the game is making you crazy. It's like we're ever

307
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: going to get a practice report from these guys, right,

308
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a million miles away, and so you

309
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: just don't know. Um, it makes it tough. Um. Anyways,

310
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: let's go over some real uh I'm looking here on

311
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: the road to world Renee Miller did a seven NFL

312
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: dfs bargains this week. We'll do our dfs for lineup

313
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: later in the week. Here she thinks that toa is

314
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: a bargain against Atlanta this week. It's all about the opponent.

315
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: I and they don't run the ball. So I was

316
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: impressed with how two have played in London. I often said,

317
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't expect two to come back and be a

318
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: huge upgrade overset he was, Lott was and ball comes

319
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: out quick. You look kind of twitchy, you know. I mean,

320
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: so we'll see, I mean, Gasecki and Waddle. We're gonna

321
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: get all the passes right now. They have a lot

322
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: of injuries to receiver. He better be pretty cheap in DFS,

323
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: so I would imagine he will be. There are other

324
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: others to consider, Matt Ryan and Niel Jones. Sad think

325
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: mc ryan is kind of sneaky too. I mean, I

326
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: guess that game has sneaky shootout. I want to I

327
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: want to know our our Miami's corner is going to

328
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: play in this one, right right, That's a big deal.

329
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: That's a big deal. Absolutely, you would you rather start

330
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: to Matt Ryan, Daniel Jones or I'm not even gonna

331
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: say the two guys in tomorrow night's game? What about

332
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: Sam Donald against the Giants? Do you have Donald scheduled nearby? By? Chance?

333
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: I can get because I was just I haven't read

334
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: it yet, but I was just looking at an article

335
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: of Players the Trade and Players the Trade four and

336
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: they had this big right up about Donald as a

337
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: trade four guy, and I think it's all based on

338
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: his schedule because he's been really bad the last two weeks.

339
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: But McCaffrey's coming back. I think they have a very

340
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: favorable schedule. They play the Giants this week, then they

341
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: have the Falcons, the Patriots at home, it's not bad,

342
00:17:54,400 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, Washington at home, the Dolphins, the Panthers, I'm sorry,

343
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: the Falcons again. Then they play the Bills, then they

344
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: play the Bucks. Say for the next five or six weeks, Yeah,

345
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: the next next few weeks, he might be okay. Yeah,

346
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: Like I have him on my roster as a backup

347
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: by Brady thinking Donald's I'm done with this guy. But

348
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: then I'm thinking he still runs a little bit. Yeah,

349
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: as long as he's not like he was like even

350
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: last week, thought drop. He ended up still getting like

351
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: twenty points that he still produces even when he plays bad.

352
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: So he's a little more useful than just watching the

353
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: eyeball test would help. And McCaffrey is so good for

354
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: quarterbacks you're losing. Dump it to him. He takes it

355
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: sixties like great. The good news on the McCaffrey front

356
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: is that they put him on ir before their game.

357
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: Has two more games after this one, this one and

358
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: one more, right, Yeah, yeah, it's not too bad. Yeah,

359
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: it's on the horizon. Running back. She has Khalil Herbert

360
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay. I don't know about that. Michael Carter.

361
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: Michael Carter against New England. I think he might start

362
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: being the guy in New York. He's score touchdowns on

363
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: the ground. They were no, they were, yeah, they were

364
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: his last two games though. He's got an Indian zone. Yeah.

365
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: But when we were just talking on the oiler segment

366
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: used by Weeks to get your young guys incorporated in

367
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: the offense or whatever, he could turn the corner as

368
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: making a useful fantasy contributor going forward. Her other guys

369
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: to consider Stevenson, Yes, Chris Evans, Miles Sanders. I can't

370
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: go with Chris Evans and DFS yet this week. Yeah.

371
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I like Evans, but there's no path to

372
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: more than five touches. No, no, no. Miles Sanders was

373
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: another one on that by low list because he's done nothing.

374
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: Their schedule's kind of fun coming up. Yeah, I'm sure

375
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: you can get him for nothing. At receiver. She has

376
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle against Atlanta I think that Atlanta Miami game.

377
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: Don't know he's gonna be cheap though, because he's been

378
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: catching like a ton of plasses. He's getting peppered. She

379
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: also has Alan Lazard against Washington. I guess I mean

380
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: Washington's defense is not something to fear. You play your

381
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: guys against Washington, h Sterling Shepard. Yeah, he's getting peppered

382
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: with targets. Oh yeah, yeah, super solid. Allen Robinson. I

383
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: guess that's a dart throw. Yeah. They don't throw the

384
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: ball much and they don't move to football. He's done

385
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: nothing wrong, but he's I mean, he better be dirt cheap,

386
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: which I'm sure he is as well. I mean they're

387
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: they're playing Tampa, so yeah, fourth quarter, Yeah, they'll be

388
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: the corners, aren't That One's not bad? We should think

389
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: about that maybe for Friday. Nico Collins, Chris Moore. It's

390
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: get a little slash or either one of those two guys.

391
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: We talked about Collins a little bit. Yeah, they better

392
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: be really cheap. Probably still too early on that. DeVante

393
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: Smith Okay, I mean he's not terrible. Okay, No, he's good.

394
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: He's a keeper. He's not the one that should get

395
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: a lot of targets. Ricky Seals Jones once again on

396
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: the value sheet there. We had him in the lineup

397
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: last week. He's better for Fantasy than his name value

398
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: would give. You make you indicate uh zach Ertz with

399
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: the Arizona. I don't know if I'm right. Yeah, I

400
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: mean I think there's a I think there's a nice floor.

401
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: They didn't trade for him. They didn't trade for him

402
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: not to use him. But there's just so many malice

403
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: to feed. I'd like to see the game first, Yeah,

404
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: before I'm actually investing in that. She also been there

405
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: a little over a week. They played Thursday. She also

406
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: has Mike Kisiki and Cole Command. Everybody's has Cole comment

407
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: on their cheap Kaseki shouldn't be cheap, but I I don't

408
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: know what he cost, but he's a getting. It's all

409
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: him and Wattle. Yeah, I mean, those guys are very valuable.

410
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: She apparently likes that Falcons apparently, So either that or

411
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: everybody's undervalued, because I think there could be sneaky points

412
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: in that one. Ridley comes back, Pitts is coming off

413
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: his best game, Old Man Ryan's coming off of a

414
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: bye to his back. So yeah, I'm kind of interested

415
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: in that game. On defense, she has Green Bay against Washington.

416
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: Washington's got so many injuries. I like, I actually like that.

417
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: Like that you got a young quarterback out there throwing

418
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: the ball for a little bit. Yeah, that's a good one.

419
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: And then Arizona against Houston for obvious reasons. Yeah, that's

420
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 1: that's cheating. That's not that's that's not a bargain by

421
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: any They might be the number one defense to start

422
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: this week. They might be the most expensive. Yeah, yeah,

423
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't really count, but yes, yeah, we'll put together

424
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: our DFS lineup Friday. A lot of practice supports pay

425
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: attention to tomorrow though, of course it's this is a

426
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: rough week. This is you know, we talked. We talked

427
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: about this a little off the air the other day.

428
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: When you're drafting, I don't look. I don't believe that

429
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: you either don't look at the bye weeks at all.

430
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes I know some people that draft and just take it.

431
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: I'll take once you make your first couple of picks,

432
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: if it's a tie between a couple of guys, you'll take.

433
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: They take the guy who's off the same week as

434
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: their first couple of picks. I'll just take my lumps

435
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: that week, get it over with and deal with it.

436
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm only one re draft lead with all my buds,

437
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: and we nine. I have six starters on buy. I

438
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: got a b Brady. I'm assuming you only have like

439
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: eight starters, eight or nine? Yeah? Right? Uh? What's his face? Gibson,

440
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: McLaurin and two Lions, Hawkinson and Swift. It's like my

441
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: whole lineups and week week nine. I think I'm just

442
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: gonna live with it and get punched in the face

443
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: in week nine and you know, throw whoevers out there

444
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: and hope they hit a couple of long ones and

445
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: happen to survive it. But in the meantime, everyone's starting

446
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: garbage this week, and I have nobody on buy, you know,

447
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: so I'm like, Okay, this is a bad one for me.

448
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of guys off in that Week nine.

449
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: This one's huge though, in terms of the number of

450
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: teams off. Obviously the Steelers and Cowboys a lot of

451
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: big yeah. And what I'm trying to do is the

452
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: Chargers are I mean taking not to Pittsburgh's a great fantasy,

453
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: but you've got Johnson, Claypool, Harris, it's pretty clear. Now

454
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: we know where the ball is going. Um, and you know,

455
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: now you can even look at Friarmouth as a potential,

456
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: especially in today's tight end market, right right right, might

457
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: be a top twelve guy on down the road. Any

458
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: chance Ebron gets traded, I don't see. They're gonna be

459
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: too competitive and they're not gonna be punting on players,

460
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, somebody would have to bowl them

461
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: over with a you know, hey, we'll give you a

462
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: fifth round draft pick. Say I might do it for

463
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: like a fifth or it's just to reclaim that what

464
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: you've already missed, but it would be really nice. I

465
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: don't see anybody doing that for Eric Ebron, Like he

466
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: would have been fine for Arizona, like a Green Bay

467
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, I don't see that, you know, I

468
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: don't we have to be a contender. It would be

469
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: good for fire Mouth. I'm just thinking for fantasy. I

470
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be fine anyways. Yeah, I think right

471
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: now they're kind of like even split for the year.

472
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: For the year, but last week it was like fifty

473
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: snaps for firemen and gentry and is going to be involved.

474
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: But this is a blocker. Yeah, I think he's running

475
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: under ten routes this year something like that. He's out there,

476
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: he's a block, he's there the block. But yeah, so

477
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: if you have to punt on a I've gone back

478
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: and forth on that. Sometimes it's okay to it's if

479
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: you get a deep bench, all right, I'm gonna miss

480
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: two guys here. I'll just plug these guys in. That's fine. Yeah,

481
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: but you know, I mean what I'm trying to do it.

482
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: I guess it depends on If I'm in a deeper league,

483
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: that's not such a bad. If you're in a super

484
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: like a twelve team or fourteen team league, punting on

485
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: one week is yeah, because it's just one loss. It's

486
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: one loss, yeah, as opposed to if you're in a

487
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: ten team league and there are guys available off the

488
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: waiver ward, you can fill your lineup up with. Yeah.

489
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what I'm trying to do and it's not working,

490
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: is all you guys that are really lean this week.

491
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: I got guys you can use from my bench. Someone

492
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: that doesn't have a Week nine by. That's only like

493
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: the only criteria is like you's got a Week nine by,

494
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: I can't help you. But that's gonna be an ugly situation,

495
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: but you can also get a little more value out

496
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: of those guys that your train. Oh yeah, right, Like

497
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: you don't have a running back this weekend, there's nobody.

498
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: Here's this guy. You know, he was gonna blower my phone.

499
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: Odell was officially questionable game time decision and that's that's

500
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: who he is. You starting any Browns? No Johnson I had,

501
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: I had their kicker and I cut him. Yeah. I

502
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: wasn't even want to deal with that. And it's like

503
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: this is too good. I gotta do it. You start

504
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: in a Broncos. Let start. You're gonna start Sutton fans? Yeah, yeah,

505
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: maybe Williams, especially on a bye week. I'm a little

506
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: frustrated with Williams. I thought by now he would be

507
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: taking over the lead role. But Gordon is not bad. Yeah,

508
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: that's the problem, and they need one of the You

509
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: need one of that. You need Gordon to get hurt.

510
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: Take him out of because I don't think you're going

511
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: to trade him at this point. No. I thought it

512
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: would happen already if they did, right, I don't I

513
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: Marlon Max getting traded either. That was the other one

514
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: that was rumored. Jedison him too. Yeah, I took a

515
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: chance on him for a while, hold on to him

516
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: for a week. I had just Shaun wants him for

517
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, just for that type of dude,

518
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: total swing for the fence, type of player, you know,

519
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: that is what it is. I've been carrying like Saint

520
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: Saints receiver Michael I'm been Yeah, I've been caring Michael

521
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: Thomas all season. At some point he's gonna be back.

522
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be very happy. No, I think he could

523
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: have a big year, but we'll see. That's the way

524
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: it goes. And that's gonna do it. For the show today,
