1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Thursday, September twelfth, twenty twenty four.

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show where we're just

3
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: happy not to be on IR s Mey your man,

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: m G.

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and Lakwan Jones.

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: Happy Week two it is officially here.

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: Get started later tonight with the Bills and the Dolphins

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: from South Florida and fellas we talked on Wednesday show

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: with Cam Wolf about the Dolphins running back situation. We

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: know that Raheem Mostert has already been ruled out. Von

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: A Chan is a game time situation, game time decision

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: as he deals with an ankle injury Florida. I will

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: start with you simple question. If a Chan plays, is

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: he a must start on Thursday night?

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: Yes?

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean who are you going to play over him?

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 3: That brings the kind of upside that he can bring.

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I last season, in the first game he

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: played the Bills, he killed them. And I know speed

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: hurts all defenses, but this Bill's defense in particular really

21
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 3: has struggled against speed.

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: In the past.

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: The only way is if like we get a report

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 3: like he's on a heavy snap count because even if

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: he's not getting his normal workload, his upside is so

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: high because he is so explosive.

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: One house call and he makes your weak.

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: So we know raheemos Whi's not playing Lakwan. You know,

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: we'll see what a chance status is for the game.

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: Would you play Jeff Wilson? I mean it's a Thursday night.

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: I ideally you have other options and if you picked

32
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: up Wilson off of waiver wire, is Wilson a guy

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: that you feel like you have to slide in your

34
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: lineup tonight?

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a person that had a lot of raheem moster,

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 5: so therefore I had to quick jump to go get

37
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 5: a Jeff Wilson. So I'm at the point now where

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,279
Speaker 5: I'm looking at my other running backs like I feel

39
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 5: okay secure, but I would like to get Jeff Wilson

40
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 5: in a flex not a flex.

41
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, it's a Thursday night football, but.

42
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: You know the rules.

43
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 5: But I definitely feel though if you're in a position

44
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 5: there is some upside here. He looked really really good

45
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 5: on those five rushing attempts that he had last week,

46
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 5: Like he looks fresh, he knows the system, and I

47
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 5: think they're a little bit more comfortable with him, Like

48
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 5: Campbell said yesterday on the show, where I feel like

49
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 5: they're just more so secured in this spot with Jeff

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 5: Wilson that he would likely get a larger lump sude

51
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 5: of touches with a chan possibly on a snap count.

52
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I look again for those who are uninitiated, and

53
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: El Kuan's talking about it, Eli Quan's talking about it.

54
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: If you have a guy on Thursday night, don't put

55
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: him in the flex, right having to be a running

56
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: back or a wide receiver. That way, when you get

57
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: to Sunday you have a little bit more flexibility. You

58
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: can come with another receiver, running back maybe tied in.

59
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: Put that person in the flex. Do not lock out

60
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: that spot on Thursday night. I would tend to maybe

61
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: not go necessarily with Jeff Wilson just because it's a

62
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: Thursday and who knows what you're gonna get. Hopefully, hopefully

63
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: you have better options, you have other options that you

64
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: can kind of go with later on in the week. Also,

65
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 1: the dolphin run defense or run blocking, I should say,

66
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: did not look great in Week one. That's a little

67
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: bit of a concern for me. So if you got

68
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: Wilson and you got to play him.

69
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: I get it.

70
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: If you have other options, maybe I think about your

71
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: other options in week two. Speaking of Week two, let's

72
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: get to some of our highs and lows for the week.

73
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 1: We will start off with club dub what's pet a time?

74
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: It was the guy who's guaranteed to score twenty five points.

75
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 2: Now we're just going big.

76
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna say who's going to be your top scorer.

77
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: Let's call it the top non quarterback score. So, La Kwan,

78
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: who do you like to get into the club this week?

79
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 5: I think Josh Jacobs is getting to the club man.

80
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 5: The matchup is just who juicy not to see him

81
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 5: up the top of the leader boards. I think there's

82
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 5: gonna be some heavy lifting, you know, going up against

83
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 5: this Colts defense who allowed over two hundred yards to

84
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 5: Detexans and Joe Mixon. So I feel like there is

85
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 5: some also PPR upside here because I don't see the

86
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 5: Packers really asking Malik Willis to do much. It might

87
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 5: just be a couple handoffs and a couple of dump alls.

88
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 5: So there's some PPR upside for Josh Jacobs as a

89
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 5: pass catcher. I'm looking north of twenty five touches, so

90
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 5: big week for Josh Jacobs.

91
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think the Malik Willis factor has to

92
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: be included there. I know they're not ruling out Jordan

93
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Love just yet, but I mean, look, we're gonna go

94
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: from Hey. It could be six weeks too. Hey, man,

95
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: he might start in week two. Like, I'm not.

96
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: Really that thing look nasty man, Like, No, I'm not.

97
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: I'm not really.

98
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 4: It's gamesman ship, right, it's gotta.

99
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: Be it's gotta be one hundred, it's got to be games.

100
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm ready coach those of you. Malik Willias, You're like

101
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: really man, Like you can't just commit to me at

102
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: least for one week?

103
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: Like what are we traded for me? Like? What are

104
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 2: we doing here? What are we doing?

105
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: Uh?

106
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: Florida? Who do you like to go big in week two?

107
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: Look?

108
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: This guy?

109
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: He's he's tall, he's bearded, he talks about football. His

110
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: name is Cooper so to Lakwani's Matt Harmon, But Cooper

111
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: Cup that's who who.

112
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 4: Look.

113
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: I he was my answer last week, and I was like,

114
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: why you change it? Like twenty one targets last weekend?

115
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: Lakwan could speak on this better than anyone. But in

116
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: the first month of the season last this year, when

117
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup was out, it felt like half of the

118
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: passes each game went to Pooka Nakua. It feels like

119
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 3: that's going to be Cooper Cup's role until Pooka comes

120
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: back and he plays out wide in the slot, both

121
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: left and right.

122
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: He could do it all.

123
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: We know that he looked like vintage Cup again last week.

124
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: I truly believe.

125
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's fantasy value shot up more in

126
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 3: Week one then Cooper Cups.

127
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 4: I'm seeing people on Twitter be.

128
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 3: Like, would you rather have Amanra Saint Brown or Cooper Cup,

129
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase or Cooper Cup? Like he is back into

130
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: that elite, elite first round water Sea.

131
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: It took one week.

132
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: He is gonna go off this week and what I

133
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: think could be a high scoring game against the weak

134
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 3: Cardinals defense.

135
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 4: So, Matt Harmon, Cooper Cup, you are up.

136
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: Oh, if you're beardy, if you're beady, You're Matt Harmon.

137
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: That's all there is to I'm never gonna live this down.

138
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I I'm glad people are big on

139
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup again, and I'm glad we're all back on that.

140
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: But let's pump the brakes on this whole, like I'm

141
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: on Rod Jemmark, Like they can all eat, we can

142
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: all be happy with all these guys.

143
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: It's been one week. Let's let's settle down a little bit.

144
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm big on the Buccaneers this week against the Lions,

145
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if they win the game. I

146
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: think Detroit wins the game. But I am big on

147
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: the Bucks offense having a good week. And I'm really

148
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: big on Chris Godwin. We saw what he's doing back

149
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: in the slot again. We saw Baker Mayfield distributing the

150
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: ball Godwin last week eighty three yards after the catch,

151
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: a big part of his game early in his career.

152
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: It looks like it's gonna be a big part of

153
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: his game this year as well. And last week, I

154
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: mean Cooper Cup did a lot of his work from

155
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: the slot.

156
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: He cooked Carlton Davis.

157
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: So David's gonna have another tough matchup this week with Godwin.

158
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: I think he goes big.

159
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: I think he finds the end zone at least once

160
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: in what's gonna be a really high scoring game.

161
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: So he's my guy that has a.

162
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: Huge, huge week for fantasy managers over to we're calling

163
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: the snore lax.

164
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: It is our favorite sleeper of the week.

165
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: And Claria bro lakwan, you went deep in your bag

166
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: on this one man, who is your sleeper?

167
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 2: And week deeper and dreamers, let's go de von Vley. Man.

168
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 5: I watched some tape last week going man just under

169
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 5: twelve fantasy points last week. And I know, Marcus, you

170
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 5: don't like the guys that are close to the line

171
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 5: of scrimmage. Man, but eight targets, eight catches, man, if

172
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 5: it's free in this for me, those are fantasy points

173
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 5: at the end of the day. And I think this

174
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 5: is what's gonna be on the agenda going against this

175
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh Steelers defense where a lot of their production was

176
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 5: allowed in the middle of the field, close to the

177
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage, because we had a guy named ray

178
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 5: Ray McLeod for the Falcons last week. Find some production

179
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 5: in the middle field with this linebacker coverage in the

180
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 5: back of dvs. And I think that's what's on par

181
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 5: for Devon Valley to be a guy that could just

182
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 5: be the security blanket and just get all those targets

183
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 5: and all those short catches. Because both Nick Saint stretching

184
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 5: the field man three point three yards per attempt last week, Like,

185
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 5: come on, man, this is the deep sleeper right here.

186
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: How was he not?

187
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: How is he not getting those same Villas Jones allegations?

188
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: He's a twenty six year old rookie, Like, how is

189
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: this not happening? Five ye six five? And we know

190
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: Sean Payton loves him some tall wide receivers. I'm sure

191
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: that has a lot to do with it.

192
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Now, this is a sleeper.

193
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Florio sleeper is more along the lines of like what

194
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: we're hearing a lot of this week. The Tyler Johnson

195
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: have his back. It's been dormant since I twenty twenty one.

196
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: It's back this week.

197
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: I love Floria for this.

198
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 3: We're going from one seventh round wide receiver to another. Uh,

199
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: but let's do it like Tyler Johnson. I will say

200
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 3: I like him. I picked him. I think I picked

201
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: him up in like six or seven leagues. This week,

202
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: I am putting my chips in on him. But it

203
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: depends on your options if you want to start him

204
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 3: or now. The reason I like him is because I

205
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 3: think he is better suited to replace Poka Nakua. I

206
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: think DeMarcus Robinson's role stays the same. He is the

207
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: wide receiver three who's gonna play the perimeters. I think

208
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna see Johnson like we did last week when

209
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: Puka went out bounce around. He played in the slot

210
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 3: a bit, he lined up as a tight end. At

211
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: times he played out wide, which is how they use Pooka.

212
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 3: They put him in positions where he could win after

213
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: the catch. And let's remember, this is a role in

214
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: the Rams offense that was valuable before Pooka even got here,

215
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: Like this was Robert Woods in the past. So if

216
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: you're running these routes for Sean McVay, you're or someone

217
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: that I am interested in for fantasy. I just want

218
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: to see it one week to make sure that it

219
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: wasn't just a pure in game thing. But like I

220
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: have leagues where I have to start this guy. So

221
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: if you're in like a ten team league, this isn't.

222
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 4: A sleeper for you.

223
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: But if you're in like a twelve team league with

224
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 3: three wide receivers and a flex, you're probably going a

225
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: little bit deeper if you have injuries or something like

226
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 3: I am on some teams, and that is where you

227
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 3: plug in Tyler Johnson.

228
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. I just said there was a Tyler

229
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: Johnson high when he was in Tampa. It sort of

230
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: went dormant. It is back, at least for one week.

231
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: We are so back. You know.

232
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: It's funny because, like you talk about comic books, right,

233
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: everybody's like you are you DC, are you Marvel?

234
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.

235
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: For a long time, I was the weird kid who

236
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: was reading Image comics off to the side, kind of

237
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: doing my own thing. So this week, while everybody's arguing

238
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson versus Tyler Johnson, I'm over here in the corner,

239
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: like reading the Kolbe Parkinson comic book. That's my thing

240
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: for the week, because we saw him get a lot

241
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,599
Speaker 1: of run last week, a lot of work in the

242
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: Rams offense, and look in the past. This reason we

243
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: love Tyler Higbee because he was getting a lot of

244
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: opportunity when he was healthy and making plays. Last week

245
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals, Josh Allen did a lot of his

246
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: work throwing the football up the seams, sort of in

247
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. That is where Kobe Parkinson

248
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: does a lot of his work. That's the soft part

249
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: of this Arizona defense. So look, Robinson's gonna get his

250
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: Johnson's gonna get his. Do not overlook Kobe Parkinson, especially

251
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: if you need help at the tight end position in

252
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: Week two.

253
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: I think he's got real sleeper vibes.

254
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: I picked him up in a couple of spots where

255
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: maybe I didn't like my tight end or I had

256
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: some injuries. I think he's gonna get some real opportunities.

257
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: Let's look now at the bounce back players, the guys

258
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: who maybe let us down in Week one but are

259
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: gonna revive themselves in Week two. And I love that

260
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: Lakwan is going with the Aria Stark of the NFL

261
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: for his Week two bounce back.

262
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 5: Bounce back season for a mom Ross Saint Brown, and

263
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people need to understand Sean

264
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 5: McVay locked hisself in a basement for months, limitted water

265
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 5: and food watching that playoff game. A mon Rod put

266
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 5: up one hundred and ten yards in that playoff game.

267
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 5: He ended up with three catches in thirteen yards.

268
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: In Week one.

269
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 5: Huge blow to fantasy managers. But you just got to understand,

270
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 5: you got to take that eld to the chin. I'm

271
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 5: going with the Bucks going up against the Bucks this

272
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 5: week where they allowed the second most receiving yards to

273
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 5: slot wide receivers last season, in the second most yards

274
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 5: after to catch per reception, where there's some wiggle room

275
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 5: because we know Mon gets busy after to catch. So

276
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 5: I think this is a matchup that a lot of

277
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 5: fantasy managers will be happy about.

278
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: A wide receiver has no name and he's just gonna

279
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: go out and slay against the Buccaneers defense coming up

280
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: this weekend. From your lips to the Fantasy God's ears,

281
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: because I know a lot of people are hoping for

282
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: big works from Aman raw Real from not a youngish

283
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver to a rookie wide receiver that we had

284
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: high hopes for in Week one Florida. It didn't happen,

285
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: but the hope springs anew in week two.

286
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's Milik Neighbors is going to explode

287
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: in week two. Week one, I know there wasn't the

288
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: volume that we wanted out of him, but he looked

289
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 3: the part he put up positive EPA. He's the only

290
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 3: Giants pass catcher that could say that he made some

291
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 3: pretty catches. And we're already hearing the New York media

292
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: be like, why are they not throwing to Neighbors more.

293
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: Why are they not getting him more involved. I don't

294
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 3: between that between the fact that they're gonna watch the

295
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 3: tape and see what Neighbors did last week. I expect

296
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: the coaches to adjust. And it could not come any

297
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: better time because the Commanders allowed the most yards and

298
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: touchdowns to wide receivers last year. They just got torched

299
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 3: for four touchdowns by receivers.

300
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 4: In Week one.

301
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: And then this is the craziest surprising part of all.

302
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones has a history of success against his team.

303
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 4: Sign me up from Elite Neighbors and we two.

304
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 2: No, I'm in. I'm on board.

305
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: I like Milik Neighbors just because the Commander's defense still

306
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: looks like it is a work in progress. I like

307
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is a sleeper this week, so I think

308
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: Leak Neighbors is gonna get a whole lot of work

309
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: poster this week. Man, he ran a ton of routes,

310
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: they moved them all over the formation. They just didn't

311
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: get him the ball enough. I think they're gonna they're

312
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: gonna fix that in week two. I'm going sort of chalky,

313
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: but I don't care. Dereck Henry is a prime bounced

314
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: back there.

315
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 2: I don't care.

316
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: It's a prime bounce back in Canada in week two.

317
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we were all sort of surprised, I think

318
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: a little bit to see Justice Hill get so much

319
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: work in week one. We all chalked it up to

320
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: game script. Game script's not gonna be an issue in

321
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: week two against the Raiders. I think the Raivers are

322
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: gonna go out, They're gonna score early, they're gonna score often.

323
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter, you're gonna see El Tractorcido pulling

324
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: the weight and then some to close out the ballgame.

325
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: So anybody who was sort of disappointed by the ten

326
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: point six points or whatever it was you got from

327
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, I think you can relax because this week

328
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of Henry, not quite as

329
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: much Justice Hill in the offense, and I think we're

330
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: all gonna be fine. There started the show joking about

331
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: us not being on IR but week one always seems.

332
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: To be a ton of injuries. This week was really

333
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: no different.

334
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: If we're giving out advice, Florio to first time fantasy

335
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: managers who suddenly find themselves dealing with a lot of injury,

336
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: what would you say to them, breathe, it's not over.

337
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 4: It's one week.

338
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: I know it stinks when your players get hurt in

339
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 3: week one, but everyone is going to have to deal

340
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: with injuries. This is why you know the waiver wire

341
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: exists and stuff like that.

342
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 4: Read Read our Sleepers.

343
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 3: Marcus puts out like, you can find options to plug

344
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: in and you're not going to replace Puka Nakua with

345
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: one player or something like that. But that shouldn't be

346
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: your goal. You just have to get by this next month.

347
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: Go two and two or something like that. Because every year,

348
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: at least in my I play in a lot of

349
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 3: leagues and typically that last playoff spot or two is

350
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: coming down to the wire.

351
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 4: But that there are teams that are sitting around five hundred.

352
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 4: So if you could just keep afloat while your star players.

353
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: Are hurt, I know it might be rough, you might

354
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: have some down performances and stuff, but it will be okay.

355
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 4: Things will get better when they get back.

356
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: And hey, this is why you take upside shots off

357
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: the waiver wire, because maybe you get something that hits

358
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: and you can plug them in right in that in

359
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: that lineup spot. Maybe not week one, that wasn't that

360
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 3: player unless you had like Isaiah likelier Dobbins on your

361
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 3: waiver wire. But every week is another chance for a

362
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: new breakout to hit on the waiver wire.

363
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: Anything you'd add to that look.

364
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 5: On, all I would just add is a strap in.

365
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 5: It's just the beginning, Manna.

366
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: This is nothing. I mean, that is a dooming blue

367
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: way to look at it.

368
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: But it's also true, right like it's week one, like

369
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: more guys are gonna get hurt. I think the upside

370
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: is that we didn't have in week one any major,

371
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: uh you know, season ending injuries. Everything turned out to

372
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: be a lot less severe than we initially anticipated. I mean,

373
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: we were all worried about Jordan Love. Uh you know,

374
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: we'll see how long he's out, but it's not as

375
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: bad as it could have been.

376
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: So this is a slap.

377
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 5: On the back of the neck compared to the punches

378
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 5: that are coming.

379
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, be thankful for that for sure. And uh you know,

380
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: we'll all roll with the punches and we will all

381
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: adjust together.

382
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: But stick with us.

383
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,240

384
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: to get you through the season. So that'll do it though,
