Speaker 1: Why ladies and gentlemen, And with that we weogle you
Speaker 1: inside of Studio thirty four. This is the BFFs. He
Speaker 1: is Frank Staville. I am Greg Susman. What's happening to Frankie? Hey,
Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday to your buddy. Crazy game last night between
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Giants. I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people either suffered some bad beats or hold out some
Speaker 1: miraculous victories because of that late flurry from Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: Zacher It's it was a crazy one. Didn't affect any
Speaker 1: of your playoff matchups, did not. I think any of
Speaker 1: my playoff matchups last night now didn't affect me either.
Speaker 1: The worst one that happened was us unfortunately going down
Speaker 1: to Jim Day the night before. It's very bad, but
Speaker 1: I'm sure many people suffered some bad ones last night.
Speaker 1: I was getting lot. Mike Florio in our home league
Speaker 1: says quote, I'm quit in this league too much, flukey bleep.
Speaker 1: I don't repeat any of that, but yeah, he was
Speaker 1: up I think thirteen or fourteen going into the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter of that game, just going against Carson Wentz Super
Speaker 1: Flex League four point passing touchdown, and uh yeah, I
Speaker 1: think at that point Carson Wentz had a hundred fifty
Speaker 1: yards and a fumble lost, ends up throwing for a touchdown,
Speaker 1: throws for another touchdown on the last play of the game.
Speaker 1: It's especially bad because Boston Scott ran the ball down
Speaker 1: to the two miles Sanders had another rushing attempt, a
Speaker 1: chance to punch it in there, and then of course
Speaker 1: the Giants just do Giants things and leave zach ERT's
Speaker 1: wide open. But some bad beats gratty, some real bad ones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you watched the game from an NFL perspective, were
Speaker 1: just the fantasy perspective last night? Um, I would say
Speaker 1: most of the time, I'm watching games from a fantasy perspective.
Speaker 1: But it's a menially. I'm a Giants fan. You are sorry,
Speaker 1: and I want them to lose and I want Chase Young.
Speaker 1: Did you find yourself rooting for the Giants? Totally? Man
Speaker 1: Eli Manning, things are going green. In the first half,
Speaker 1: it was fun, you know, and then the second half
Speaker 1: of the Eagle's come back. I'm just sitting there very
Speaker 1: stoically on the couch and Judy is just like like
Speaker 1: nervous screer for the Eagles, Like we all know how
Speaker 1: this end. You're fine screaming. If you've watched the Giants,
Speaker 1: a Knicks or Jets game, you know how these things end.
Speaker 1: So anyway, it's fourth and one, right, So actually, I'll
Speaker 1: go back a little bit further. It's fourth and three
Speaker 1: on the Giants own thirty and they pumped it away.
Speaker 1: I heard a lot of people calling out Pat Shermoy
Speaker 1: like how do you not go for it? Like what
Speaker 1: are you doing? What are you playing for? Me, you're
Speaker 1: on your own thirty. I get it fine, next drive that.
Speaker 1: Of course it went three and out obviously, but um
Speaker 1: minute half left. The Eagles are on their own forty five.
Speaker 1: There's forty seconds left. It's fourth and one. You remember this, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's fourth and one, Doug Peterson joke. Peterson sat there
Speaker 1: with his place sheet covering his mouth, and Pat Shermer's
Speaker 1: out there like looking around, like what do I do?
Speaker 1: Because there's forty seconds left. It's fourth and one on
Speaker 1: the eagles own forty five. Shermer's petrified to call on
Speaker 1: time out at with forty seconds left, he gaves dog
Speaker 1: Peterson goes for it. Doug Peterson he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: go for it because if he doesn't get it, giants
Speaker 1: had their ball on their own forty five. Dog Peterson's
Speaker 1: like looking at the plate collocks like it's even I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna sit here, go bring my mouth. I thinking,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll just got over time cover his mouth,
Speaker 1: covered his mouth. So what does past Sherman do? Frank,
Speaker 1: He's what's the difference? He calls the time about with
Speaker 1: nineteen seconds left, there you go? Why not? So at
Speaker 1: that point they pugged it away dermer Niels and then
Speaker 1: Giants never get the ball back. That's genius. Genius. So
Speaker 1: I have thought a lot about this exact argument with
Speaker 1: Jet fan Jeff, and he said that Sherman me the
Speaker 1: absolute right decision of when he called the time out,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what I got any think it's like
Speaker 1: an arguable point? Like I was like, oh, this guy's
Speaker 1: eighty eight, he's a loser coach. Kind how you feel
Speaker 1: that Adam Gates right? Like he's just he played scared,
Speaker 1: he got out coached by Peterson, like even a mistake. Sure,
Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. He played it right? How did you?
Speaker 1: How can you play it right? Because if he calls
Speaker 1: a time out with forty seconds left, Peterson ghost for it. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well if he goes for then he doesn't get it
Speaker 1: and the Giants win or have a very good chance
Speaker 1: of winning. If he then punched the ball, the Giants
Speaker 1: at the ball back, but the stupents a touchback on
Speaker 1: the punt whenever Giants at the ball on their own
Speaker 1: twenty with thirty seconds left. Sounds great, But he thought
Speaker 1: that he was perfect. Was he forced Peterson to punt
Speaker 1: the ball? Well, he wanted to go for it. Why
Speaker 1: why didn't he go forward at that point? Well, if
Speaker 1: Peterson won't call the time out, then he would have
Speaker 1: had any time. The playbook gets closed. And now, well,
Speaker 1: I don't care if they I don't care if they
Speaker 1: go for it's it's fourth and one of the Giants
Speaker 1: make one stop. They have a really chance of winning
Speaker 1: the games. So you're afraid of overtime that you don't
Speaker 1: think the Giants can be one stop? You can judge
Speaker 1: me one stop. You think they don't get the ball
Speaker 1: in overtime like like, but there's a coin toss, right,
Speaker 1: It's like it's like a coin toss. Why would I
Speaker 1: do the Chiefs and Patriots in the playoffs and the
Speaker 1: stats and Rams in the playoffs. It's a coin choice, goes.
Speaker 1: But you just thought, if you're upset about that, how
Speaker 1: can the Giants stop the Eagles on one play on
Speaker 1: fourth and one? He well, I thought they were gonna
Speaker 1: punt it, he goes. Then he made the right call
Speaker 1: because he's forcing the punt it. Then we went around
Speaker 1: and around like this and a lot of name calling.
Speaker 1: He thinks he's a genius. Well, you can't be that
Speaker 1: much of a genius if you're a Jet fan. I've
Speaker 1: learned that the hard way, Greg. But ultimately, look doesn't
Speaker 1: matter that the outcome for the Giants is ultimately what
Speaker 1: you want, isn't it. I mean you want it's the
Speaker 1: chase for chase. You gotta you gotta keep it up great.
Speaker 1: You gotta keep losing games. Here. We know that the
Speaker 1: Bengals are most likely gonna have the top pick. You
Speaker 1: want to lose that game anyway. I mean, regardless of
Speaker 1: the coaching decisions. I don't think Pat Schremmer is gonna
Speaker 1: be back. Dave Gentleman probably gonna be back. Start prepping
Speaker 1: yourself for Ron Rivera. Greg, it's gonna look. It's gonna
Speaker 1: look great in the in the beach, it's gonna look
Speaker 1: great in Big Blue. It's gonna be great. So I'm
Speaker 1: excited for that. Yeah, so we we shall see what
Speaker 1: happens with the New York Giants. I don't think that
Speaker 1: Pat Schremer is the answer. Greg. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: open up the phone lines for anyone who is watching
Speaker 1: listening right now live. I want to call in, let
Speaker 1: us know about your your miraculous victory. You're bad beat
Speaker 1: whatever it might be, because I have a lot of
Speaker 1: people tweeting at me from yesterday that like the top
Speaker 1: seeds in their fantasy football playoffs got eliminated. We have
Speaker 1: to change everything to a free play Why don't we
Speaker 1: just play road tistory Foo bull at this point three
Speaker 1: four seven seven six seven four. If you had a
Speaker 1: big win or a bad beat, we want to hear

Speaker 1: eighteen hours a day here to serve you the fanatic.
Speaker 1: This is Sports Grade. Get all the grade. Yeah, feel
Speaker 1: the baby, point your fantasy vffs fright stand are here.
Speaker 1: We're We're one. Talk to you as well. Frank, find
Speaker 1: out what's scored on in your life, the problems, your needs,
Speaker 1: your wants at all, Frankie, if you need to redo,
Speaker 1: do you need to redo from this past week? Lots
Speaker 1: lots of crazy beats, man, a lot of people talking
Speaker 1: in the chat about how they barely want how they
Speaker 1: managed to pull it off. It's just look, Look, this
Speaker 1: is why we say this about the fantasy football playoffs.
Speaker 1: Right when you have a head to head element, all
Speaker 1: you've gotta do is get into the playoffs. You never
Speaker 1: know who's gonna show up. You know, Christian McCaffrey not
Speaker 1: showing up when you need a most or whatever. Like,
Speaker 1: crazy things happen. Players get hurt mid game. We saw
Speaker 1: that a lot this week. Mike Kevin scored a touchdown
Speaker 1: but got hurt. Josh Jacobs doesn't suit up because of injury.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of crazy things that happened. All
Speaker 1: you have to do is get into the dance, Greg,
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs, and then anything can happen when
Speaker 1: you have that head to head element. From a fantasy
Speaker 1: football perspective, up, Greg, do you think that all leagues
Speaker 1: should be changing to an all play format so that
Speaker 1: you know there there are no bad beats there are
Speaker 1: no losers in fantasy football, Greg Frank like, there's always
Speaker 1: gonna be people that complain about something, Right, So I
Speaker 1: go on Twitter day, I see a bunch of fantasy
Speaker 1: analysts complaining about, Oh, well, I had this bad beat happened,
Speaker 1: I had this happen. Look, you know what comes with
Speaker 1: the territory of playing in a head to head format
Speaker 1: in the fantasy football I mean, this is like what
Speaker 1: I was saying before the break. If you don't want
Speaker 1: to suffer these bad beats, then play rotissory fantasy football, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's supposed to be the mark of the
Speaker 1: best fantasy player. Right. Fantasy baseball roto leagues, they accumulate
Speaker 1: all the stats from the course of the season and
Speaker 1: the best team ends up winning. If that's how you
Speaker 1: want it to be, then why don't you play a
Speaker 1: roto football league, right? Or playing the high stakes leagues?
Speaker 1: If you're playing the NFC, I'm playing in an NFC
Speaker 1: playoff right now. The top four teams from the league
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the season, it's the top record,
Speaker 1: and then the re highest point scorers after that make
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and then it's a free for all. Whoever
Speaker 1: accumulates the most points from weeks fourteen to sixteen wins
Speaker 1: the league. If that's how you want your league to go,
Speaker 1: then it's perfectly fine. You need to set that up
Speaker 1: before the season starts. You know what the rules are
Speaker 1: going into your fantasy playoffs. You can't complain once it happens.
Speaker 1: Do you see people complain when they win by zero
Speaker 1: point one and these things even out? Craig and I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are gonna say no, but
Speaker 1: this always happens to me. You know what the head
Speaker 1: to head element is in fantasy football. Stop complaining about it,
Speaker 1: or change it before the season even starts. It's just
Speaker 1: it's frustrating me that people are. You know, they're always
Speaker 1: gonna complain. Well, let's take defenses out of it, let's
Speaker 1: take kickers out of it. There's too much of a
Speaker 1: luck element. I mean, all right, why don't we just
Speaker 1: completely change the way we play fantasy football, Greg, so
Speaker 1: that we can appease everybody. You just kind of like
Speaker 1: my get off my lawn, old man moments, sounds like,
Speaker 1: why what do you think about? This? Made it? He
Speaker 1: made it. He's the I T technician himself, Eric Young.
Speaker 1: So I'm usually pretty good with this stuff. I'm I
Speaker 1: consider myself not smart, but but very clever. Um realizing
Speaker 1: that I have never had my laptop service ever, never
Speaker 1: wiped anything off of it or cleared anything off of it,
Speaker 1: and I've probably had it close to ten years, so
Speaker 1: it might be time. Well, we just thought Frank actually
Speaker 1: ey this week, So yeah, I didn't shut down my computer,
Speaker 1: so I mean, maybe that's what it needed. I think
Speaker 1: it's it's past that my internet should be very good
Speaker 1: and it's not. It doesn't have the strongest single. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I drop out when I'm on this show. But uh,
Speaker 1: I'm in full agreement with with Frank. Like everyone knows
Speaker 1: that the rules are clearly stated before you draft, before
Speaker 1: the team is loaded in. You know it. There is
Speaker 1: no advantage or disadvantage for any one person. It's completely
Speaker 1: even across the board. Crazy stuff is going to happen.
Speaker 1: Look at I know I've shared this story on the show.
Speaker 1: I got beat in the semifinals by a player named
Speaker 1: Barrock Cartwright. Who is that you ask exactly? So, I
Speaker 1: mean crazy stuff happens. I mean pen tight ends unnamed
Speaker 1: tight ends cat touchdowns this week during the playoffs, it's
Speaker 1: a wild game. It's chaos, it's it's it's crazy. If
Speaker 1: you want real craziness, try fantasy hockey. This comes with
Speaker 1: the territory Greg there, it's fantasy football. We study it
Speaker 1: year round. We you know, taken as many stats as
Speaker 1: we possibly can to give ourselves an advantage here, but
Speaker 1: ultimately you can only do so much. Like there, there's
Speaker 1: a skill factor, there's a luck factor. You know, as
Speaker 1: much studying as you're going to do, even the best
Speaker 1: fantasy players, even the people who study more than anybody else,
Speaker 1: are going to suffer bad beats because of a luck factor.
Speaker 1: And that's going to happen in the head to head element.
Speaker 1: And I don't have a problem if you want to
Speaker 1: change your to an all play element once you get
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, that's fine. You know, discuss it in
Speaker 1: the off season if that's the route that you want
Speaker 1: to go down. High stakes leagues like I mentioned the NFFC,
Speaker 1: that's how they play out. It is probably the fairest
Speaker 1: way to play fantasy football. I won't dispute that. But
Speaker 1: for everyone who is crying today about oh well, I
Speaker 1: had the most points all season long and then I
Speaker 1: suffered a bad beat in the playoffs. Who cares that
Speaker 1: happens in the head to head elements. So ultimately, Greg, uh,
Speaker 1: I don't have any you know, pity for anyone who
Speaker 1: might have lost that way. I don't feel sorry for you.
Speaker 1: This goes back to a bigger problem which we probably
Speaker 1: shouldn't get into, just in society today, where everyone's gonna
Speaker 1: cry about, you know, things that they don't like, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and get their way about it, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, participatient trophies and all like. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go down that rabbit hole, Greg, But
Speaker 1: this is part of a bigger problem where everyone just
Speaker 1: is trying to be in control. Sometimes you can't be
Speaker 1: in control, Greg. Things are gonna happen that are you know,
Speaker 1: outside of your control. And again that's that's my that's
Speaker 1: my game, Marans. You get off my law and rant
Speaker 1: segment of the day here, Greg, thank you, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. You're welcome. You're welcome, right, You're you're welcome.
Speaker 1: That was great. Um, can we move on whatever you
Speaker 1: want to do. I just want to look some waiver wires, man,
Speaker 1: like I'm in my playoffs e Wise and his playoffs.
Speaker 1: You're in his playoffs. I can't hear anymore. Get off
Speaker 1: my law on rants. I need to know what quarterback
Speaker 1: I can started this week because my man, Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: is in San Francisco and I'm finally jumping off the bandwagon.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm finally jumping on the bandwagon. Greg, No, Richard Sherman.
Speaker 1: Isn't this the time to to appreciate Matt Ryan. They
Speaker 1: throw the ball more than anybody else in the NFL.
Speaker 1: You're really gonna turn your back on him now that
Speaker 1: there's no Richard Sherman. Yes, isn't this the time that
Speaker 1: you would want to use Matt Ryan? No, You've been
Speaker 1: the Matt Ryan guy. You can't turn your back on him. Now,
Speaker 1: watch me all right? What happened to loyalty? Man? There
Speaker 1: is no loyalty advantace football for I can say you lose.
Speaker 1: There's no crying in fantasy football either or I thought, So,
Speaker 1: who are your options? You let me know. I'm glad
Speaker 1: you bring that up. So the top two options I
Speaker 1: believe on most waiver wires or either minshue Mania where
Speaker 1: Ryan fits Magic. I would love a little fits Magic
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You know, both have a really good
Speaker 1: matchups this week. I believe both have really good matchups
Speaker 1: in Week sixteen also so fits magic and you're riding
Speaker 1: into a playoff victory. You've got a giant this week
Speaker 1: in the Bengals. A week later and then for the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars with Minshu Mania, you got Gardner Minshoe this
Speaker 1: week in Oakland. You follow that up in week sixteen,
Speaker 1: you're facing off in Atlanta. To solid it out to
Speaker 1: solid spots for these quarterbacks, Frank Yeah, I think both
Speaker 1: are definitely in play and streams that. It just comes
Speaker 1: down to how far do you want to go. There
Speaker 1: are a bunch of quarterbacks with tougher matchups this week,
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of the times when we
Speaker 1: get this far into the fantasy football playoffs, we tell
Speaker 1: people Greg go with the players that got you there.
Speaker 1: But you also have to take the matchup into account.
Speaker 1: If it's a really bad one, you I want to
Speaker 1: get away from that player and look Aaron Rodgers is
Speaker 1: at home against the Packers. Typically he plays against the Bears.
Speaker 1: Typically he plays better at home, but the Bears have
Speaker 1: been very tough on quarterbacks all season long. Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: is at home against the Rams. The Rams have a
Speaker 1: really tough secondary. They've been really you know, strong against
Speaker 1: quarterbacks since they have acquired Jalen Ramsey. So you know,
Speaker 1: those are two examples where you might want to go
Speaker 1: in a different direction. And I think it makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense that Gardner Minshew did not look great
Speaker 1: last week against the Chargers. The Chargers also a tough
Speaker 1: matchup for Kirk Cousins in Week fifteen, but the remedy
Speaker 1: for that is going up against the Oakland Raiders secondary.
Speaker 1: They are very, very bad, Greg. You know, they're amongst
Speaker 1: the league leaders in points allowed against quarterbacks this season.
Speaker 1: They have allowed thirty passing touchdowns this year. They have
Speaker 1: also allowed the most twenty plus and forty plus yard
Speaker 1: receptions so far this season. And then the Giants defense. Look,
Speaker 1: we saw that secondary collapse late last night against Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz and Fitzpatrick now playing back to back games in
Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium, He's making plays with his legs. Their defense
Speaker 1: is terrible, so that's gonna lead to volume for him.
Speaker 1: So I think both of these quarterbacks are in play.
Speaker 1: E Y, I'll bring it up to you Gardner meets
Speaker 1: you at the Oakland Raiders or Ryan Fitzpatrick at the Giants.
Speaker 1: Which one do you favor? I probably would leave. Uh,
Speaker 1: Fitz Magic, He's some of that that that has been
Speaker 1: good in the last few weeks. Um, this is it's
Speaker 1: funny that this comes up and I have to make
Speaker 1: a decision between Ryan Tannehill and Fitz Magic. I got
Speaker 1: them both. Um, I think I'm gonna start Tannehill because,
Speaker 1: like he said, he's been great. Go with who you want.
Speaker 1: I want to win with Ryan Tannehill as my quarterback.
Speaker 1: He's looked great. Titans look great playing Houston. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a wild game. Let's go Titans. You gotta go
Speaker 1: with Tannehill. Gianehill. Manage your boy, and he's hot. Stick around,
Speaker 1: he got running backs, wide receivers, sit has be a
Speaker 1: lot more coming your way. Here the BFFs. Are you

Speaker 1: out Pluto five seventeen. Frank E y Greg, We're going
Speaker 1: over the waiver wire for the quarterbacks. Anybody else out there?
Speaker 1: Frank quarterback wise, you don't like min show, you don't
Speaker 1: like if it's magic. I saw that Mitchell Churbisky over
Speaker 1: the past five weeks QB five in fantasy points per game.
Speaker 1: It is a tougher matchup against Green Bay. I don't
Speaker 1: think that he has played himself into QB one conversation,
Speaker 1: but I think if you're playing a super flex league
Speaker 1: or a two QB format, that Mitchell Starbinski has played
Speaker 1: himself into there. He has exactly three passing touchdowns and
Speaker 1: three of his last five games. We just saw him
Speaker 1: rush for a career season high sixty three rushing yards
Speaker 1: this past week against the Cowboys on Thursday Night Football.
Speaker 1: So Cherbinski is playing better. And I think you could
Speaker 1: say the same thing about Drew Lock. Again, he's on
Speaker 1: on the QB one discussion, but in a two QB
Speaker 1: format going into Kansas City, they have been better against
Speaker 1: the past. But Drew Lock is playing well. He just
Speaker 1: through for three yards and three touchdowns against the Texans.
Speaker 1: So if you were struggling for that second quarterback and
Speaker 1: you had Drew Lock, I think that he has played
Speaker 1: himself into that super flex conversation. Greg, I know that
Speaker 1: you have the decision to make between Gardner Minshew, Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1: I believe it's a one quarterback league, so Drew Brees
Speaker 1: is available in your league, but maybe just between Minshew
Speaker 1: and Fitzpatrick, who do you favor between those two? For me,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'll leave Fitzpatrick. I just feel like he's
Speaker 1: all like he's just gonna he can provide touchdowns on Sunday.
Speaker 1: I don't think Gardner mish you can do that. Um.
Speaker 1: I know it's interesting because both quarterbacks are potentially with
Speaker 1: out their top weapons, right DeVante Parker has that concussion.
Speaker 1: DJ Shark heard his hamstring. I believe, so both these
Speaker 1: guys are in a tough a tough spot. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just seem to trust fits Patrick a little bit more,
Speaker 1: but very even. I think that makes sense, especially because
Speaker 1: you know the Jaguars are gonna try and get Leonard
Speaker 1: four Nett more involved. While Patrick our LAYERD and Savior
Speaker 1: did play two of the snaps and had nineteen touches
Speaker 1: this past week. Greg Um, the Dolphins are not a
Speaker 1: good running football team, and I think that they want
Speaker 1: to throw the football, and the way to attack the
Speaker 1: Giants is by throwing the football. And you know, the
Speaker 1: Giants have been better against the run Leonard Williams has
Speaker 1: helped stop the run as well still start getting sacks.
Speaker 1: You know, I could have told you that as a
Speaker 1: Jets fan, but ultimately, um, I think the way to
Speaker 1: attack the Giants is throwing the football and considering the
Speaker 1: Dolphins can't run, the volume will be there for Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Minshew In the Jaguars, they are
Speaker 1: probably going to try and get Leonard for Net a
Speaker 1: little bit more involved than the Dolphins will try and
Speaker 1: get their running backs involved. I just realized that if
Speaker 1: I think Fitzpatrick, I could actually start him and Patrick
Speaker 1: Laird all Dolphins. Baby, nothing ever went wrong with a
Speaker 1: Dolphins stack. Also, e y, shout out to your man
Speaker 1: Davantae Parker Man. He made it this far, but it's
Speaker 1: not looking good for him this week. He just suffered
Speaker 1: a concussion. So hopefully Alan Hearns or Isaiah Ford can
Speaker 1: step up. Well you know, do you do you have
Speaker 1: a beat on another Dolphins wide receiver. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's a that's a dart throw. I mean it literally
Speaker 1: could be anyone. I would have liked to say, uh,
Speaker 1: Preston Williams, but he's not playing either. Um, so yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a. It's a bit of a dart throw there
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver pit position. If Parker doesn't play, um,
Speaker 1: I mean he should just take my approach and know
Speaker 1: that concussions aren't real and play anyways. Let's not do that.
Speaker 1: So the other thing, besides the Miami wide receivers Frank
Speaker 1: that are down, Mike Evans is not expected to play
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. He spoke a little bit
Speaker 1: about this yesterday, which means, well, Jamis Wisen is gonna
Speaker 1: find somebody else that throws you outside of Chris Godwin.
Speaker 1: You mentioned O J. Howard on yesterday's show, or any
Speaker 1: of these wide receivers that could be worth picking up
Speaker 1: and as us said, made a dart throw at Yeah.
Speaker 1: So justin Watson and Brashad Perriman, they're going up against
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions here, and the Detroit Lions have been
Speaker 1: a very bad defense all around, stopping the run against
Speaker 1: wide receivers, and Chris Godwin's is gonna see an upticking targets.
Speaker 1: We know that O J. Howard the snaps have been
Speaker 1: up for him, but you know how that goes. You know,
Speaker 1: as soon as you start to buy into O. Jay Howard,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Cameron Bray and vice versa. We know
Speaker 1: that Jamis Winston, assuming he's healthy, hopefully he is good
Speaker 1: to go. It sounds like he is going to be
Speaker 1: good to go playing through that thumb injury. He actually
Speaker 1: throw the ball. They can't run the ball effectively out
Speaker 1: there in Tampa. So I am interested in both Brashad
Speaker 1: Perriman and Justin Watson. You know, I tweeted out earlier
Speaker 1: today Drink that the red zone target leaders from Week fourteen, Greg,
Speaker 1: And according to Pro Football Focus, Justin Watson had six
Speaker 1: red zone targets this past week for the Tampa Bay Bucks.
Speaker 1: Someone actually tweeted me asking who the hell is Justin Watson.
Speaker 1: So he was a fifth round pick last year for
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Bucks. And if you check out his
Speaker 1: player profile or page, he's someone that actually tested out
Speaker 1: very well in the combine. He's He's another one of
Speaker 1: these my Kasecki types, Greg, where I fall for the speed, score,
Speaker 1: the burst ability, the catch radius. He's a bigger wide receiver,
Speaker 1: but he only played on of the snap for the
Speaker 1: Bucks here, Greg, and he out targeted Burshot Perryman. He
Speaker 1: had more receptions. He had fifty five yards. He had
Speaker 1: all those red zone targets and he scored a touchdown.
Speaker 1: If you want to look in house for Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: I think you can do that because of the matchup
Speaker 1: with the Lions, and personally I prefer Justin Watson over Burshot. Perryman,
Speaker 1: you're out of your mind, all right? Let they go
Speaker 1: out to you, Jersey John, he's on the line. What's happening, John? Hey,
Speaker 1: what's up? Guys? How you guys doing doing? What's going on? Good? Um? So,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys still do the fantasy
Speaker 1: court grievances here on the show. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've had anyone uh recently. Well, I have one for
Speaker 1: you guys. Um okay, So last week I was the
Speaker 1: On'm the first seed in the UH in my in
Speaker 1: the league, and so I the per per, the commissioner.
Speaker 1: The first seed goes up against the lowest seed. I
Speaker 1: guess that's how it is in most leagues. I haven't
Speaker 1: by normally, but yeah, okay, and and so yeah, so
Speaker 1: there was no body, so I had to play last
Speaker 1: week automatically, and so um this week this week, it
Speaker 1: seems like, you know, I made it through the first
Speaker 1: week of the playoffs, and then this week it seems
Speaker 1: like I'm up against the it's actually the third seed, UM,
Speaker 1: and the second seed, which is the commissioner, is up
Speaker 1: against the last the last seed for this week. I
Speaker 1: hope I explained that correctly, UM, And so my grievances,
Speaker 1: it seems like that that that change was made for
Speaker 1: this week to benefit him for this week, because the
Speaker 1: matchup that I'm up against, UH this week is up
Speaker 1: against you know, Christian McCaffrey and Aaron Jones and all
Speaker 1: these top last players. And the matchup that he has
Speaker 1: next this week, he's up against somebody who lost Mike
Speaker 1: Evans and Vante Parker. Now, this could be this may
Speaker 1: not be his fault. This may just be the bracket
Speaker 1: style playoffs where you played the last seed the lowest
Speaker 1: seed last week, and then the team that moved on
Speaker 1: maybe an upset on the other side of the brackets
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, So this is something that you
Speaker 1: actually have to establish before the season, whether or not
Speaker 1: your league recedes the playoffs. And this is something that
Speaker 1: we talked about, Greg when you were bringing up your
Speaker 1: Fantasy football playoff matchups. You need to establish this before
Speaker 1: the season. If you recede your playoff seeds after the
Speaker 1: first round of the Fantasy football playoffs, then the highest
Speaker 1: remaining seed will still play the lowest remaining seed. But
Speaker 1: if you do play bracket style, then you basically have
Speaker 1: all the seeds already laid out before the playoffs, and
Speaker 1: you know what the matchups are going to be based
Speaker 1: on whoever advances. So it'll be you know, all right,
Speaker 1: you were the one seed, you played the lowest seed,
Speaker 1: but in the next round, you're gonna play whoever wins
Speaker 1: between the two and the five, or you know whatever
Speaker 1: it might be there. So that's something that your league
Speaker 1: needs to establish beforehand. I don't know if they did
Speaker 1: that or not, but if they did and the commissioner
Speaker 1: is still changing it, then yeah, I think that's where
Speaker 1: you would have have a gripe with that. Okay, so
Speaker 1: we just to add a little bit to that, because
Speaker 1: I did understand all of that. But the thing is
Speaker 1: last week, before the end of the before the end
Speaker 1: of the week, the playoff week. Last week he did
Speaker 1: mention that the um that it would be a receding
Speaker 1: uh type of playoff bracket in a way, and so
Speaker 1: I should still be up against the lowest seed as
Speaker 1: of right now. Yeah, if you've received your playoff matchups,
Speaker 1: then you should be playing the lowest remaining seed. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's how I've always done. I mean, I'm the
Speaker 1: commissioner in my home league, and that's what happened, uh
Speaker 1: this week. I mean, the one and two had their
Speaker 1: bye weeks. I just set up my playoff matchups before
Speaker 1: we we came on the air here, Greg, and the
Speaker 1: number one seed is facing the lowest remaining seed, which
Speaker 1: is the five seeds, so they actually upset somebody and
Speaker 1: and now they're facing the one seed. So look, if
Speaker 1: that was established in your league, then I mean you
Speaker 1: gotta bring that up with your commissioner and have everyone
Speaker 1: else kind of speak up in your league too, because
Speaker 1: that's obviously not right. Yeah, it sounds like commission the
Speaker 1: commissioners trying to uh take advantage and and give himself
Speaker 1: a favorable matchup. Right, Okay, all right, thanks a lot
Speaker 1: of guy that you know. That's the verdict that I
Speaker 1: was trying to hear. You go give you the verdict.
Speaker 1: That's what we're here for. We're obviously you're helping my man.
Speaker 1: All right. Let me get back to the waiver wire, Frankie,
Speaker 1: and we hit the wide receivers and any other wide
Speaker 1: receivers outside of the Floridians they want to grow out
Speaker 1: and grab. Oh yeah, So I didn't really speak about
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns versus Isaiah four. But if you if you
Speaker 1: do want to, Albert Wilson's going back to Albert Wilson here.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna look at the snaps and the targets
Speaker 1: from last week, and Alan Hearns and Isaiah Ford were
Speaker 1: up there in terms of targets and snaps from last week.
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns had established himself as the wide receiver too
Speaker 1: for this team without Davonte Parker if he can't go
Speaker 1: because of the concussion, it looks like Alan Herns will
Speaker 1: be the wide receiver one again in a really good
Speaker 1: matchup against the New York Giants. So that's it for
Speaker 1: the Floridians. I would probably favor Alan Hearns and then
Speaker 1: Justin Watson uh and then Brashot Perryman Isaiah Ford in
Speaker 1: that order. But a J. Brown, Greig, I mean, and
Speaker 1: I'll let I'll let you know e y talk about J.
Speaker 1: Brown here. The phenomenal one. Look, we've been talking about
Speaker 1: this guy for a month. I don't understand why his
Speaker 1: ownership percentage is only twenty five percent. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't play in those leagues. He's owned in all
Speaker 1: of my leagues. But for whatever reason why his ownership
Speaker 1: percentage is way too low. He has been a little
Speaker 1: bit inconsistent. You know, he hasn't put together two big
Speaker 1: fantasy games in a row. But he just reminded us
Speaker 1: what his upside was last week, and he goes up
Speaker 1: against the Texans where he should be able to have success.
Speaker 1: I mean, e y, why are people sleeping on your boy?
Speaker 1: A J. Brown? I feel like it's it's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's that early season biased. You know, it's it happens
Speaker 1: in in all fantasy sports, I feel so. You know,
Speaker 1: people are very dialed in. You know, you're hyped about football.
Speaker 1: Part way you start to lose and you kind of
Speaker 1: like you kind of make a decision of what teams
Speaker 1: are good and what teams are bad. And the Titans
Speaker 1: were bad. They were a bad, bad football team with
Speaker 1: very poor quarterback play. And that literally changed overnight when
Speaker 1: they started Ryan Tannehill. A J. Brown is what everyone thought,
Speaker 1: including me. Corey Davis was going to be and he's
Speaker 1: a wide receiver that should be owned and should be played.
Speaker 1: They're getting it done. He's a beast and his scoring
Speaker 1: touchdowns every single week. Trust A J. Brown. Also, just
Speaker 1: check to make sure Zach Pascal isn't available in your
Speaker 1: league because he's been great in the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect Hilton back running backs, tight ends and
Speaker 1: Davis is next. Are you ready for the nation's first

Speaker 1: is Sports Grade. Get all the grid, alright, final one
Speaker 1: a minute, fifteen minutes so or so. Over the show,
Speaker 1: Greg Frank hanging up all right, we had the wide receivers,
Speaker 1: Zack Pascal. A J. Brown obviously that there out that
Speaker 1: you go out and get him, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: Oh your boy, Darius Slayton Greg against the Dolphins. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was. He was targeted down the field as well,
Speaker 1: so he saw a lot of those air yards. Eli
Speaker 1: still got a little something left in that arm. Where
Speaker 1: would you rank Darius Slayton amongst this grouve, Greggy, you know,
Speaker 1: if we let's take Zac Pascal out of it, because
Speaker 1: I think he's like in a group of his own,
Speaker 1: he's probably already owned in your league. Between A. J. Brown,
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, the Bucks, Darius Slayton, and I'll even throw
Speaker 1: Russell Gauge in that mixed considering the injury to Calvin Ridley. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I don't like Russell Gauge's match up against
Speaker 1: San Francisco and Rose. It's been really I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't want Russell Gauge there. Um, I think that for me,
Speaker 1: you take Pascal and you take A. J. Brown out
Speaker 1: of it, because they're too far and away about everybody else. Sure,
Speaker 1: I think in the case of Darius Slayton's both everybody else,
Speaker 1: both Tambily guys, both Miami guys. I say slat it
Speaker 1: is probably next. I think that's fair. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: he's on the field, he's playing in their three wide
Speaker 1: receiver sets. It's it's him and Sterling Shepherd on the outside.
Speaker 1: It's Golden Tate in the slot. Slayton just saw eight
Speaker 1: targets last night. Targets here forty percent of the air
Speaker 1: yards they didn't go to in the in the second
Speaker 1: half for reasons I can't explain. It's you know, it's
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. But I would agree with you.
Speaker 1: I would put Darius Slayton ahead of all those other guys,
Speaker 1: and then I would again, I would rank it Hearns, Watson, Perriman,
Speaker 1: and then Isaiah Ford. Uh e y. How would you
Speaker 1: rank the Floridian wide receivers assuming there is no DeVante
Speaker 1: Parker and we know there's no Mike Givns. Uh. I'm
Speaker 1: just terrified of the other Miami guys. I think if
Speaker 1: I was forced to trust one of them, it would
Speaker 1: be Alan Hearns because I've seen him do it before.
Speaker 1: Um Ford, I don't even know. H Wilson was a
Speaker 1: bit of a sleeper before the season, but hasn't done
Speaker 1: a whole lot. I don't Earns showed up here and
Speaker 1: there about the season. Uh. It's sad for me, um
Speaker 1: seeing Parker go down to this. Uh. Past that. Jeez,
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. It. Watson in in
Speaker 1: Tampa kind of showed up this week. No, no, Mike Evans,
Speaker 1: and apparently Jameis Winston is the worst real life quarterback
Speaker 1: and the greatest fantasy quarterback of all time. I would
Speaker 1: say that's fair. It's a weird thing. Four touchdowns, three interceptions, touchdowns,
Speaker 1: the best whatever. He continues to get it done for fantasy.
Speaker 1: Uh maybe not for the Tampa Bay Bucks though. Let
Speaker 1: me move on to the running backs. Let's get them involved.
Speaker 1: Frank and of course number one running back. If he's
Speaker 1: out there, he's gotta be DeAndre Washington and Rahee Moster, right,
Speaker 1: both of these guys we saw dominate this past weekend.
Speaker 1: We'll see if Josh Jacobs doesn't play, we'll see what
Speaker 1: Matt Rita's role is imagined. Yesterday he mostart doun the
Speaker 1: snash for San Francisco. If those guys are out there,
Speaker 1: they gotta be your top two. Yeah. Yeah. Rahee Mostard,
Speaker 1: I would say, is like Zach Pascal at the running
Speaker 1: back position. He's a tear of his own in my opinion.
Speaker 1: I saw this tweet from our buddy Nick Ercolano shout
Speaker 1: out to Nick Big Dog's gotta eat sixty seven percent
Speaker 1: of the snaps for Raheem Mostart over the past two weeks,
Speaker 1: six of the forty Niners running back touches one percent
Speaker 1: of their red zone carries and of their running back touchdowns.
Speaker 1: So I think rahee Mostart has pushed himself into running
Speaker 1: back to territory. He is the guy to own in
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners backfield. And then I do
Speaker 1: like Adrian Peterson as well, but I've got to put
Speaker 1: DeAndre Washington ahead of him because I don't know that
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders are gonna rush Josh Jacob's back. I mean,
Speaker 1: they need this guy for their future obviously. You know,
Speaker 1: they've lost three in a row. They're kind of falling
Speaker 1: out of it here, and that matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Man,
Speaker 1: you know, someone asked me this last night, would I
Speaker 1: dare consider starting Washington over Robert Woods in a PPR league?
Speaker 1: And the answer is yes, if Jacobs can't go. The
Speaker 1: Jaguars just allowed almost three hundred total yards and three
Speaker 1: touchdowns two Chargers running backs this past week. They are
Speaker 1: that bad. And if if Jacobs can't go. DeAndre Washington
Speaker 1: is the guy, so yeah, I think he's just a
Speaker 1: notch Bill overheam most of my opinions. Totally totally agree.
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson is next for me, given the Darius Guys
Speaker 1: is gonna be out probably for the year of this
Speaker 1: m c l injury. So I agree an ap the matchup,
Speaker 1: it's fine against Philly. It's not great, it's not terrible,
Speaker 1: it's fine. And maybe you know, Bill Callahan wants to
Speaker 1: run the football, so I think it's nothing wrong with
Speaker 1: going with Adrian Peterson. Patrick lair Ma, man, uh, you're
Speaker 1: talking about him before against the Giants. That's good too.
Speaker 1: I wanta measgue what Boston Scott did last night against
Speaker 1: the Giants. He played really really well, mixing with Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders and j J I had a huge second half.
Speaker 1: We'll see that Jordan Howard's available next people. Boston Scott,
Speaker 1: you why would you think at his performance last night,
Speaker 1: what could he do this weekend? Yeah? And I feel
Speaker 1: like this is kind of what Philly has been all year, right,
Speaker 1: Like we're thinking that Sanders is gonna break out week four,
Speaker 1: Week five, that doesn't really happen. Jordan Howard looks amazing,
Speaker 1: which I mean, I don't think anyone would have predicted. Uh,
Speaker 1: Darren sprawls there, now they got Scott and a gi
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's a mass fantasy wise, you're just
Speaker 1: kind of guessing. Um. In a couple of my leagues,
Speaker 1: I had been leaning on Sanders and he's been okay,
Speaker 1: not what I thought he was going to be. That
Speaker 1: offense is a bit of a letdown. Uh. And I
Speaker 1: feel like when Alshon Jeffrey isn't in the lineup, especially
Speaker 1: him and DeShawn Jackson, the offense just sputters. And I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna lean more on the running game because
Speaker 1: of the wide receivers they have left there. But I
Speaker 1: mean it is even more of a dart throw than
Speaker 1: New England. I feel at this point, there's so many backs,
Speaker 1: and I mean, each week, take your take a guess
Speaker 1: because I don't have any idea what's gonna happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's a chance that Jordan Howard could be back
Speaker 1: in week fifteen as well. It's a good matchup going
Speaker 1: up against Washington. We just saw what Aaron Jones did,
Speaker 1: had a monster game against him. But I'm with e
Speaker 1: y here Man This is a tough one to figure out.
Speaker 1: If Jordan Howard is out of the mix, then I
Speaker 1: think Miles Sanders is still in that RB two territory
Speaker 1: and then maybe you you bump Boston Scott up to
Speaker 1: a flex option. But he did play well last night,
Speaker 1: you know, ten carries for fifty nine yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: He had six targets. But I think a little bit,
Speaker 1: a little bit of it was fool's gold to Greg
Speaker 1: because Boston Scott was dealing with those cramps. You know,
Speaker 1: if he was healthy, does Boston Scott get all those snaps?
Speaker 1: And then I think once he started playing well, they
Speaker 1: just you know, kept going back to the hot hand.
Speaker 1: But ultimately, if Miles Sanders is healthy for that entire
Speaker 1: game last night, do they really give Boston Scott this
Speaker 1: many snaps? I do question that. I completely agree. We've
Speaker 1: been doing this Peters something for a while. You've called
Speaker 1: it out. It looked like Miles Sanders was really taking over.
Speaker 1: It was like three straight Maks a row snaps. And
Speaker 1: then of course I rank him inside my top twelve.
Speaker 1: Greg and Doug Peterson's like, we're gonna make you look stupid.
Speaker 1: It wasn't nearly effective in the first half Scott obviously
Speaker 1: in that second half, Um you imagined on our show
Speaker 1: shot here Chris Thompson in that same game against Philadelphia
Speaker 1: with no Darius Guys, you I just assume you expect
Speaker 1: the old Chris Thompson back played all these third downs. Look,
Speaker 1: he just led the team in targets and receptions a
Speaker 1: week ago. With Washington, we know Dwayne Haskins doesn't necessarily
Speaker 1: want to push the ball down the field and take chances.
Speaker 1: He wants to throw short passes. He wants to check
Speaker 1: it down to his running backs. And Washington will likely
Speaker 1: be playing from behind against Philadelphia next week. It's really
Speaker 1: hard to say at this point because the Eagles have
Speaker 1: been so so so bad. I don't know that you
Speaker 1: can really expect him to play with a lead against
Speaker 1: anybody right now. But I would expect Chris Thompson to
Speaker 1: be involved. So if you are in a deeper league,
Speaker 1: in a PPR league, I think that the targets end
Speaker 1: receptions will be there for Chris Thompson. Let's move on, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: into the tight end position where he doesn't feel as
Speaker 1: gross as normal. Is that fair to say? That's probably
Speaker 1: It's probably pretty gross. Um Mega said, he's out there,
Speaker 1: he's facing off against the New York Giants, speaking you're giants.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to cover tight ends. It's just
Speaker 1: a multiple times last night. So still saying, because like
Speaker 1: he's out there, and yet you weren't happy with last week,
Speaker 1: go right back to him? Is that something you're doing, Greg,
Speaker 1: I don't know Jack Doyle? Alright, so you're going back
Speaker 1: to Jack Doyle, which you should do. I mean, don't
Speaker 1: get scared off of Jack Doyle if you let you
Speaker 1: down last week. Um yeah, Look, Kasecki, I thought last
Speaker 1: week was gonna be a good matchup against the Jets.
Speaker 1: He didn't come through there. So look, when we talk
Speaker 1: about these streaming tight ends, it's a lot of these
Speaker 1: guys look like they're in good spots and normally, you know,
Speaker 1: it seems that way. But that's why this position is
Speaker 1: so hard to figure out. You never really know who's
Speaker 1: gonna show up. I will throw O. J. Howard in
Speaker 1: that mix because the snaps have been up for him.
Speaker 1: The targets were there last week once Mike evanst Mike
Speaker 1: Evans is out, Yeah, and look they're gonna throw They
Speaker 1: just can't run the football on Tampa Bay. So I
Speaker 1: think O Jay Howard is back in that mix, and
Speaker 1: then e y, I'll throw a few names your way.
Speaker 1: Ian Tom is going up against the Seattle Seahawks, who
Speaker 1: have been shredded by tight ends all season long. If
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews can't play, it's it's a short week here
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. I think Hayden Hurst isn't play against
Speaker 1: the Jets. Lamar Jackson likes to throw to the tight end,
Speaker 1: and then David and Joku against the Cardinals. They are
Speaker 1: that bad against the tight ends. So between Thomas and
Speaker 1: Joku and Hayden Hurst, you know which streaming tight end
Speaker 1: would you lean towards? Here? You A if Andrews does
Speaker 1: and play, I think I'm gonna go with Hurst. A
Speaker 1: lot of times we see on Thursday they simplify the
Speaker 1: game plan because it don't have as much time to prepare.
Speaker 1: We know Lamar Jackson likes throwing to the tight ends. Uh,
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst, if Andrews even suits up, might might be
Speaker 1: above those guys because we don't know what we're going
Speaker 1: to get. I can't trust Baker Mayfield or David and
Speaker 1: Joco hasn't played football in weeks. Um, So yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: out of that group. I would go hayden Hurst, and
Speaker 1: I think even if Andrew's plays, that's the guy that
Speaker 1: I would lean. Ian Thomas is interesting. I think he's
Speaker 1: gotten it done before when when Olsen isn't available, but
Speaker 1: that was with a different quarterback. Alan. I feel like
Speaker 1: that run is it's is over. It's all about Tyler
Speaker 1: Higbee for me. Man if Gerald is out again. Tyler
Speaker 1: Higbee's a wide reserve, a tight end one. He's in
Speaker 1: that conversation. He's been amazing over the last two weeks
Speaker 1: since Rams team has changed their offense. We talked about
Speaker 1: it yesterday with Cooper Cup seeing less snaps. For me,
Speaker 1: Tyler Higby is going to be that guy at the
Speaker 1: tight end position if he is out there and available.
Speaker 1: Um um, this is really why a little bit. I
Speaker 1: like Ian Thomas against Seattle. Seattle has obviously known uh
Speaker 1: to not be great against the tight end. If Greg
Speaker 1: Olson's out ones again, I like Thomas here uh this
Speaker 1: week against Seattle. UM like the Joker too his Arizona.
Speaker 1: They know how to cover tight end. So hayden Hurst
Speaker 1: to Baltimore guys their last for me on this list. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be last for me. I probably would still
Speaker 1: put Hayden Hurst a head of David and Joku, just
Speaker 1: because in Joke didn't play enough snaps. He didn't run
Speaker 1: a lot of routes last week, only ran nine routes
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns in his first game back from injury.
Speaker 1: But it likes to throw the volts of the tight
Speaker 1: end there in Baltimore and if Mark Andrews is not there.
Speaker 1: We saw Hayden Hursts make a big play sixtyard touchdown
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills, and that was in a tougher
Speaker 1: matchup last week. The Bills typically are really really strong
Speaker 1: against tight ends, So I do like Hayden Hurst. I
Speaker 1: probably would take Ian Thomas ahead of him, just because
Speaker 1: the matchup is a great one. The Seattle Seahawks allowing
Speaker 1: the second most fantasy points to tight ends and Ian
Speaker 1: Thomas coming off a game where he just had ten targets.
Speaker 1: It's dependent on Greg Olsen not playing, obviously, but I
Speaker 1: don't think that they're gonna rush greg Olsen back at
Speaker 1: this point. Greg Um and Tyler Herbie, Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. He's only twenty two percent owned. You
Speaker 1: gotta pay attention and see if Gerald Everett is going
Speaker 1: to play here, it might not even matter. Heggbie has
Speaker 1: really established himself here and I think he has been
Speaker 1: a big factor for why Cooper Cuff snaps have been down.
Speaker 1: Greg They're running more twelve personnel, they have more tight
Speaker 1: ends on the field. You know, they have those tight
Speaker 1: ends on the fields mostly because they want to run
Speaker 1: the ball more with Todd Gurley. We're seeing that workload
Speaker 1: up for Girley the past couple of weeks. But Higbie
Speaker 1: is doing a lot as a receiver now, back to
Speaker 1: back games with over a hundred receiving yards here in
Speaker 1: this offense, and the offense is playing well, so I
Speaker 1: don't really see why they would change anything as long
Speaker 1: as they are are playing this good. Moving on to
Speaker 1: the defense I mentioned, see the Seattle Seahawks do struggle
Speaker 1: against tight end, but Kyle Allen also sucks, So I
Speaker 1: like Seattle's defense. As a streamer this week against Carolina,
Speaker 1: I think you go back to Phillies defense. You know
Speaker 1: they're beat up, but they're facing off against Washington. Uh
Speaker 1: and Frank and You've been talking to me all week
Speaker 1: long about Kansas City Chiefs defense. Yeah, look, we spoke
Speaker 1: up Drew Lock earlier, but it is tough to still
Speaker 1: go into Kansas City. That's gonna be allowed raucous crowd there. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, this is a divisional matchup. These tend to be,
Speaker 1: you know, closer games, and I just think that, you know,
Speaker 1: the Chief's defense is actually playing pretty well. They played
Speaker 1: pretty good against the the New England Patriots a week ago,
Speaker 1: and I think at home they will have an advantage
Speaker 1: in their favorite likely playing with a lead here in
Speaker 1: this spot, so we'll get some more dropbacks from Drew Lock,
Speaker 1: which could lean to more Saxon turnovers here for the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. I also throw the Cleveland Browns out there.
Speaker 1: I've been riding them the past couple of weeks, and
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray has been interception prone the past couple of weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're actually benching Kyler Murray potentially in the league. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have a super flex league where I have to
Speaker 1: decide who to bench between Garoppolo, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: We spoke up Ryan Fitzpatrick earlier. Garoppolo is playing well.
Speaker 1: Good match up against Atlanta. I might actually end up
Speaker 1: benching Kyler Murray here in the semifinals. Right there you go,
Speaker 1: e y, what do you have going on this week?
Speaker 1: What are your matches looking like? Oh? Yeah, in the
Speaker 1: lead him up against Uh, forget about it for ghazis.
Speaker 1: Um I really like my team. Um, I think I
Speaker 1: might have a weird place where I have Hunter, Henry
Speaker 1: and Kasaki. Um So, it's like, do who do I start?
Speaker 1: Which way do I go? That's a difficult one. Hurts
Speaker 1: uh losing my man Davante Parker. But I've got McLaurin,
Speaker 1: I've got Golden Tate, I've got a bunch of guys there.
Speaker 1: Um So I gotta make some decisions and a bunch
Speaker 1: of running backs all time to be a fantasy football person.
Speaker 1: We'll all make decisions together as a group, as a unit.
Speaker 1: That's a PFS do and will help all of you
Speaker 1: watching out as well. Very young, have a fantastic restue
Speaker 1: you man get like a Waivers. We'll do it all
Speaker 1: go tomorrow. We are you ready for the nation's first
Speaker 1: and only three twenty four hour network dedicated to you,

Speaker 1: book at the metal Lands Sports Create, He's live eighteen
Speaker 1: hours a day. He just serve you the fanatic. This
Speaker 1: is sports grade, get off the grid. So what what
Speaker 1: here's what you miss on the BFPS Doug Peterson. He
Speaker 1: doesn't want to go for it because if he doesn't
Speaker 1: get it, Giants had their ball on their own forty
Speaker 1: five Petersons like looking at the plate clocks like, wa,
Speaker 1: it's even I'm just gonna sit here covering my mouth
Speaker 1: if thinking, all right, let's just cut over time just
Speaker 1: cover his mouth, caver his mouth. So what does Pat
Speaker 1: Sherman do, Frank, what's the difference? He called time out
Speaker 1: with nineteen seconds left? There you go? Why not? So
Speaker 1: at that point they pugged it away dermer Niels and
Speaker 1: then Giants never get the ball back. That's genius, genius.
Speaker 1: So I have thought a lot about this exact argument
Speaker 1: with Jet fan Jeff, and he said that Sherman me
Speaker 1: the absolute right decision of when he called the time out,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what, I I didn't think it's like
Speaker 1: an arguable point. Like I was like, oh, this guy's
Speaker 1: an eighty eight. He's a loser coach. Kind you feel
Speaker 1: that Adam Gates right, like he's just he plays scared.
Speaker 1: He got out coached by Peterson, like even a mistake. Sure,
Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. He played it right? How did you?
Speaker 1: How can you play it right? Because if he calls
Speaker 1: a time out with forty seconds left, Peterson ghost for it. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well if he goes for then he doesn't get it
Speaker 1: and the Giants win or have a very good chance
Speaker 1: of winning. If he then punched the ball, the Giants
Speaker 1: at the ball back lets the stup was a touchback
Speaker 1: on the punt whenever giants at the ball on their
Speaker 1: own twenty with thirty seconds left, sounds great, But he
Speaker 1: didn't thought that he was perfect? Was he forced Peterson
Speaker 1: to punt the ball? Well, he wanted to go Why
Speaker 1: why didn't he go forward at that point? Well, if
Speaker 1: Peterson won't call the time out that he would have
Speaker 1: had any times in the playbook gets closed and now,
Speaker 1: well I don't care if they I don't care if
Speaker 1: they go for it's it's fourth and one of the
Speaker 1: Giants make one stop. They have a really chance of
Speaker 1: winning the games. So you're afraid of overtime that you
Speaker 1: don't think the Giants canna be one stop. You can
Speaker 1: judge pep one stop. He thinks they don't get the
Speaker 1: ball in overtime like like, but there's a coin toss, right,
Speaker 1: it's like a coin toss. Why would I do all
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Patriots in the playoffs and the stats
Speaker 1: the Rams in the playoffs, it's a coin to us.
Speaker 1: He goes, But you just thought, if you're upset about that,
Speaker 1: how can the Giants stop the Eagles on one play
Speaker 1: on fourth and one? Who? Well, I thought they were
Speaker 1: gonna punt it? He goes. Then he made the right
Speaker 1: call because he's forced in the punt it. And we
Speaker 1: went around and around like this and a lot of
Speaker 1: name calling. He thinks he's a genius. Well, you can't
Speaker 1: be that much of a genius if you're a Jet fan.
Speaker 1: I've learned that the hard way, Greg. But ultimately, look
Speaker 1: at it doesn't matter that the outcome for the Giants
Speaker 1: is ultimately what you want, isn't it. I mean you
Speaker 1: want it's the chase for chase. You gotta you gotta
Speaker 1: keep it up, You gotta keep losing games here, we
Speaker 1: know that the Bengals are most likely gonna have the
Speaker 1: top pick. You want to lose that game anyway. I mean,
Speaker 1: regardless of the coaching decisions. I don't think Pat Schremmer
Speaker 1: is gonna be back. Dave Gentelman probably gonna be back.
Speaker 1: Start prepping yourself for Ron Rivera. Greg it's gonna look
Speaker 1: it's gonna look great in the in the base, it's
Speaker 1: gonna look great in Big Blue. It's gonna be great.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for that. Yeah, so we we shall
Speaker 1: see what happens with the New York Giants. I don't
Speaker 1: think that Pat Schremer is the answer
