Speaker 1: the big points of Week one, things that we have

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: big questions of about games that could really go big

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: for fantasy games that might not be quite as big,

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. I also will do a

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: quick recap of the final episode of Hard Knocks, just

20
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,760

00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: our grand thoughts on this season. Maybe the the future

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: of the show as well. But before we do all that,

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are focused on it and Zeke at Akabo

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: and his money, the Giants are focused on football and

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: you know thing, I I'm very prepared there there. The

00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: to say. Oh, that's funny. That is funny. I will

31
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: say this though. It is funny, isn't it with I

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: tweeted this yesterday too, Like Zeke already leads the league

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: in air yards going back and forth from Dallas to

34
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: Cabo repeatedly. Uh yeah, how many times did he fly back? He,

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: in theory, probably got a ton of freak there at

36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: least three different trips to Cabo, right, and he's racking

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: up on this frequent fire miles. Man, I'm telling you,

38
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: can you back in the airport at that that nice

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: like straw hat on totally vacation. But by the way

40
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's like he's in great shape, that he's

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: in great chair. It's like, okay, yeah, I don't know

42
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: if you If you guys saw the Dirk Novitsky tweet,

43
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: which he tweeted something to the effect of, uh, you know,

44
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: I landed at the airport. I saw all these cameras

45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: and I thought, man, I still got it, and then

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: I realized they were all there for Zeke. So uh Dirk,

47
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: who's a very funny follow on Twitter as well. All right,

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: we gott play to talk about. So let's do some news. Well,

49
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: we already alluded to it, and by now you probably

50
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: already know about it. Ezekiel Elliott is back in camp,

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: I guess, well, back in the fold, I should say,

52
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: with Dallas Cowboys. He sets a record to become the

53
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: highest paid running back with a ninety million dollar deal.

54
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: It's a six year extension, ninety million dollars. Fifty million

55
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: of that is guaranteed. Uh, you know, I don't know

56
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: the whole structure of it. For our purposes, it doesn't

57
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: really matter. What's important is that he is back, So

58
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: fabs everybody who kept the faith and who drafted Zeke

59
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: early and who just kind of waited this thing out.

60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean we I know, we all expected him to

61
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: be back. But I also though there was some nervous

62
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: moments in the last few days or so. But everybody

63
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: who was patient, you have been rewarded now, right, dude,

64
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: no question about that. And I feel like this is

65
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: what we were telling people the whole time. He was

66
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: going to be back. Worse case scenario maybe miss a

67
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: game or two. Best case scenario is what we're looking

68
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: at right now. I don't know that Zeke really needed

69
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: training camp or preseason. He's not going to get a

70
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: lot of work in preseason anyways, so um, fire him

71
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: up as normal and if you ended up getting him

72
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: anywhere past the fourth overall pick, you've got to be

73
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: smiling right now. Yeah, it's it's definitely. It was one

74
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: of the situations where I felt like the consensus was

75
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: the deal was always going to get done. It's just

76
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: unfortunate that we had to watch the air quotes, drama

77
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: and Zeke unfold. But yeah, just super annoying. But obviously

78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: we're all glad to have Zeke back and we don't

79
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: have to worry about it too much. So what do

80
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: you do with Tony Pollard? Now? I mean, listen, if

81
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: you if you have Zeke and Pollard's on your roster.

82
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: Depending on what's on the waiver whire, you may or

83
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: may not keep him, and I'd hold him for a

84
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: week or two unless a hot free agent comes comes

85
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: a rolling, which is very likely week one. It always happens, right, Yeah,

86
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: I think Zeke will probably play a slightly limited role

87
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: week one, like twenty to snaps. I think I saw

88
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: it was the kind of the report this morning. You

89
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: might play a few more than that. But Tony Pollard

90
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: is not gonna have much weekly value, Nope at all.

91
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: There's the handcuff, now, Zeke is. Zeke is the hammer

92
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: piece there. Man. I feel like we should start like

93
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: putting together a list like an in Memorium of all

94
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: the Ezekiel Elliott handcuffs that like get like you know,

95
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: it was Tony Pollard and Rod Smith and Rodford Morris.

96
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: We should go there like it's like the oscars in

97
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: Memorium segment they do. We should just do one of

98
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: those for all the potential Ezekiel Elliott handcuffs. Um more

99
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: running back moves still in the NFC East, Jake Gruden

100
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: says that the Washington offense will go through Darious guys

101
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: when we're talking about what happens on the ground here.

102
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: Uh fabs, I mean, I don't know. I mean I

103
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: guess people were sort of worried maybe about what Adrian

104
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: Peterson was going to do. But I feel like this

105
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: one was sort of cut and drive from the beginning

106
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: that as long as Darius Guys is healthy, he's Juan

107
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: Peterson kind of showed up out of necessity last year.

108
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: Paris Guys seems like he's going to be the guy there,

109
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: and which is something that again I think we we

110
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: we can all agree on. We've agreed on at the

111
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: entire preseason. I mean, the Redskins offense doesn't have a

112
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: lot of great fantasy options, but Darius could be the

113
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: best one out of the group. Um. I talked with

114
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: him yesterday. He says he feels great, and I believe

115
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: he's ready to handle. Maybe not a featured backsload like

116
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: Zeke is going to see her say Quan, but he's

117
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: gonna get enough carries to be productive and I would

118
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: confidently start him as a flex this week. Yeah. Yeah,

119
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: they have to run the football, Marcus, they have to

120
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: run the foot. I have major and Marcus, I know

121
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: you feel the same way. I've major concerns about guys

122
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: this year. Trent Williams will not be there. Uh. This

123
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a bad team. Although there's taught

124
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: that he might be back sooner rather than later, I

125
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 1: don't know how much stock we put into that. Um

126
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, I know the Angelo hall Our, our new

127
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 1: colleague here at NFL Network, UH is sort of saying

128
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: he could be back within a couple of weeks. But

129
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: I feel like we haven't heard anything from Trent Williams himself. Yeah,

130
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: Trent Williams has been pretty clear that he's he's not.

131
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: He didn't show up to the to the Redskins facility today. Um,

132
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: I don't think Darius Guys is the offense is going

133
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: to run through guys. I mean, Chris Thomps is gonna

134
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: be involved in those third down snaps and we'll just

135
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: see how it goes. But I'm kind of ware. I

136
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: think guys, it's a solid flex play this week. Yeah,

137
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: but I just think he's going to get the majority

138
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: of the looks out of that backfield whether or not.

139
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: Obviously CT is there and he's going to be utilized.

140
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, it's not gonna be a true featured

141
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: role situation. But he's going to get enough work where

142
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: I feel like he's going to surprise some people this

143
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: season in terms of his his usage in fantasy lineup.

144
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: And I do agree. I mean, I think he is

145
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: the guy on that roster with the most fantasy upside.

146
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: You know you're not gonna find it at quarterback. You

147
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: know you're gonna struggle to find it at wide receiver.

148
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: I guess there's Jordan Read if he can stay healthy

149
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: and on the field. But but Darius Guys is the

150
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: guy that has sort of the highest ceiling. Uh there

151
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: in in Washington. Uh. Andy Reid talking about Lashawn McCoy

152
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: and how that backfield is going to break down his

153
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: comments we shall see, Graham. Is this is this Andy

154
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: Reid just kind of being coy and sort of playing games?

155
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: Or are they really Do you think they're really trying

156
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: to figure out how this is gonna work between him

157
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: and Damian Williams. I don't think even Andy Reid knows

158
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: how the rotation will work right now. I think I

159
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: think we should expect Damian Williams to be the starter. Um.

160
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: But again, like we talked about on Monday, like Andy

161
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Reid doesn't think Lashawn McCoy is done in that matters,

162
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: So for me, I'm kind of expecting Dame to be

163
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: the one aid to McCoy's one. B Um. I don't

164
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: think McCoy will get probably more than like fifteen touches

165
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: week one, and I'm not putting him in any of

166
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: my lineups and spots that I have him in, but

167
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm obviously I think this is him the way the

168
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs use their running backs and the way the Rams

169
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: used Todd Gurley or like the for two one and

170
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: two things I'm looking for in Week one in terms

171
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: of running back us has a player's value ever flung

172
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: from one sort of end of the special for another

173
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: more quickly than Damian Williams. I liked Williams as a

174
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: potential breakout candidate this season because of what we saw

175
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: last year's small sample size. I get it doesn't have

176
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: a lot of wear and tear in his body, and

177
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: Andy Reid almost always produced really strong numbers going back

178
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: to his time in Philadelphia. But now one of those

179
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: running backs who did produce strong numbers in Philadelphia with

180
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: Andy Reid has kind of thrown a wrench into the

181
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: whole mix. And now I'm at a point where I

182
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if Leshan McCoy leads that team in

183
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: Fantasy points. Among running backs, it's an odd dynamic. It's weird.

184
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny too, because you talk about people

185
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: whose values have swung wildly throughout this this offseason. Uh,

186
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: you know the Sean McCoy, Damian Williams, I think fall

187
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: into that court category. Duke Johnson was another one who

188
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,599
Speaker 1: was sort of buried in Cleveland, gets the Houston and

189
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: he's kind of free. Now. Two things it just kind

190
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: of show is how fungible running backs are and how

191
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: much how fragile they can be. I mean, literally one

192
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: move can change their value cataclysmically. And I mean these

193
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs backfield has the widest range of outcomes among like

194
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: backfield trios. I mean I could see both. If one

195
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: of these two guys takes the job out right, they

196
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: could both finish this, you know, one of the two

197
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: could finishes an RB one or both could finish outside

198
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: the top twenty. If it ends up being a true

199
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: time share. It's just a frustrating situation. But I hope,

200
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: I for my purposes, I hope Damian Williams takes the job.

201
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: Can I can I just selfish applaud the use of

202
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: the English language that fungible, cataclysmicky. We can't even say

203
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: that word, but both funds again, scare it come on, cataclysmically,

204
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: got it fungible and cataclys It's early here for that

205
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: kind of language. But I mean, well done. I will

206
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: say this that like I hadn't heard the word fund

207
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I knew the word fungible, but I had

208
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard it quite as much as I have

209
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: in the last couple of days when people are talking

210
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: about running back round English major or something in college finance,

211
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: actually finance to right us, that's what it works there.

212
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we were in the middle of the segment

213
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: and I just noticed your shirt and I had to Yeah,

214
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know what. I had to refrain myself from

215
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: busting out. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure, like you know,

216
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: for those of you who end up seeing some of

217
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: the video clips of this, you will probably see it.

218
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: But it is. It's the It's the road to war.

219
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: Never forget uh T shirt with the Buffalo Bill's logo

220
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: and and Antonio Brown's hair and Juan mustache. Remembering the

221
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: hour or so your laptop was kind of covering it.

222
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: At first, it wasn't in my eyeline, but it's quite

223
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: remember the hour or so that Antonio Brown was a

224
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo bill, which really was one of the greatest hours

225
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: in football Twitter history. I think that was the point

226
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: where he blocked me on Twitter because I had really

227
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: rapped him on the air about going to Buffalo. That

228
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: the end man. So yeah, otherwide receiver news, this is

229
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: the time when we start getting these unofficial depth charts

230
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: coming out. A lot of times they were put out

231
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: by team's PR departments and not necessarily in strong consultation

232
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: with the coaches themselves. But there are a couple of

233
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: things that are sort of noteworthy about some of these

234
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: early ones. One Kenyan Drake listed as the starting running

235
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: back on the Dolphins unofficial Week one depth chart. Dante

236
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: Pettis listed as the number one receiver on the forty

237
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: niners unofficial Week one depth chart. Does any of that

238
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: surprise either of you guys right now? Not in particular.

239
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we all kind of expected Pettis

240
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: to be the number one, and I know we all,

241
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: I think we all kind of agree that call. Shannon

242
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: was just trying to motivate Pettis this what with all

243
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: of his hyperbole this this offseason. I still like Deebo.

244
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: Samuel Marky's good one his stashes though. I mean this,

245
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: they get the Bucks week one, Bengals week two. It's

246
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: kind of a good start for them. We'll kind of

247
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: have to see how this rotation works out. Yeah, I'm

248
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: not sure I like Pettison week one. Yeah, um, I

249
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: don't like any of guys. I just think that this offense,

250
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: Kevin Coleman is to me the most attractive one. But

251
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, odd stat I remember from last season was

252
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: that the Buccaneers defense they got wrecked by slot receivers

253
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: all year long, but guys who were split out wide

254
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: did nothing against them. Honestly, I remember a couple of

255
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: games where people had wide out's posted and projected to

256
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: have great numbers against the Buccaneers, but unless it was

257
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: a slow receiver, those wide receiver projections didn't really pan out. Yeah.

258
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: M G. Stewart there the Buck slot corner um. He

259
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: was like literally one of the three or four worst

260
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: cornerbacks in the NFL last year. So yeah, you know,

261
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: I've sort of been torn. I've been going kind of

262
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: round and round on forty Niner receivers. I don't. I

263
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: don't think I have a lot of them on on

264
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: any of my rosters. I know, I think I took

265
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: a couple of shots to Deebo Samuel uh kind of

266
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: late in draft season just because but you know, I

267
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: don't really know what to make up. Someone might pop here, man,

268
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I think someone's gonna pop here. They

269
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: have to have it too, besides Kittle, I mean you

270
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: think so right? Uh, you know, I know there was

271
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: talking that you know, Trent Taylor was a guy to

272
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: kind of keep an eye on, but he's not a

273
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: hundred percent healthy right now, and I think Jalen hurts

274
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: a little bit banged up right now. Well, so you

275
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: know that things are think are in flux there in

276
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: San Francisco and that wide receiver corps. So there you go.

277
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: That's pretty much everything you need to know. Well, it

278
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: is officially week one. We are what about thirty six

279
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: hours maybe from from well hours from now, we will

280
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: be well into the first game of the season, games

281
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: that actually matter. We will start off with the Packers

282
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: in Chicago against the Bears, continuing the oldest rivalry in

283
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: professional football and Uh. That actually leads me to some

284
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: some of the big questions of the week. And the

285
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: first one and one that I have seen a lot

286
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: in my Twitter mentions and I'm sure you guys have

287
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: seen as well. Aaron Rodgers against the Bears. Right, it

288
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: is sort of that that unstoppable force against the immovable object,

289
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: if you will, right, everybody looks at Aaron Rodgers and

290
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, chances are if you drafted him, you took

291
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: him fairly high relative to other quarterbacks there, and you

292
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: believe he's your starter weekend and week out. But he's

293
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: going against a defense that last year was historically good

294
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: and one that expects to be good again this year.

295
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: Maybe not historically good, but still pretty darn good. They

296
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: held Aaron Rodgers to less than thirteen and a half

297
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: points the last time they met at the end of

298
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: last season, and so it just sort of begs the question, FABS,

299
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: if you've got Aaron Rodgers on your roster, you're probably nervous,

300
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: are you Are you bold enough, are you brave enough

301
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: to keep him in there against the Bears? And do

302
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: you maybe look somewhere on the waiver wire for a

303
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: streamer this week? So I also keep in mind. In

304
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: the game before against Chicago he had twenty four Fantasy points. Uh,

305
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: in the game where he got a little bit banged up.

306
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: I will say that you guys can't agree with me

307
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: or disagree with me. Outside of Patrick Mahomes and maybe

308
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, must start. Quarterbacks don't exist anymore. They don't

309
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: They absolutely, they absolutely do not exist anymore. I would

310
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: start Jamis Winston this week over Aaron Rodgers. I would

311
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: start Lamar Jackson over Aaron Rodgers. Uh. And people have

312
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: that combination, the whole must art quarterback thing outside of Mahomes,

313
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: maybe Watson, luck is gone. It doesn't exist. So you

314
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: can play the matchups now. Don't be stupid. Okay, if

315
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: you've got Aaron Rodgers and your backup quarterback is say,

316
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, Philip Rivers, you're playing Aaron Rodgers. Uh. Matt

317
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: Ryan this week is another great example. I hate his matchup,

318
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: it's awful, so I have him seventeenth this week. There's

319
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: no such thing as the must dart quarterback for the

320
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: most part, so don't be afraid to sit big name guys.

321
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: And you're gonna see a lot more of that this season.

322
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: But Rogers will be in most lineups. But it's not like, oh,

323
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: it's Rodgers, I have to play him. It's not like

324
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: that anymore. Well, go ahead. I think it just speaks

325
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: to the replaceability of the position, right, I mean if

326
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: I took Aaron Rodgers in the six round of your draft, uh,

327
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: and you're you're seriously considering benching him in Week one

328
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: at home against the Bears. I mean, just it just

329
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: speaks to like what we talked about, Mark, because like

330
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: just how replaceable quarterbacks are, and these start one quarterback leagues. Yeah,

331
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: and like you know, you mentioned Matt Ryan at Minnesota.

332
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: That's another one that you know, that's the limit that

333
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: I have in some leagues this week is is what

334
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: I want to do with Matt Ryan starting in Week one?

335
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: You mentioned Patrick Mahomes is generally being a guy a

336
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: weekend and we got you can feel confident in but

337
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: he's got the Jaguars. He was bad, right, It was

338
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: just that doesn't even seem to be a short thing.

339
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: Which is really funny. We're talking about, you know, three

340
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: of the top five or six quarterbacks in fantasy football

341
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: right now, and they're all staring down the barrel of

342
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: really bad matchups. This week. And so you know, while

343
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: you may have drafted those guys with some confidence that

344
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: they could be your your number one every week, Uh,

345
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think. I don't think we necessarily

346
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: thought far enough had to look at week one and

347
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: be like, oh no, what am I gonna do? But uh,

348
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's a thing that we have

349
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: to worry about. Um. We sort of touched on this

350
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: before Graham mentioned uh about his feelings about about Shady McCoy,

351
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously he also mentioned selfishly that he's

352
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: hoping it stamid what it was. But fabs, I mean,

353
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: if you are kind of making that distinction between Lashawn

354
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: McCoy and Damian Williams this week, are you just are

355
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: you maybe sitting it out this week just to see

356
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: how this thing shakes out? Or are you willing to

357
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: dive in and plant your flag with one of these things?

358
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: So here's the I wouldn't be surprised if if when

359
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: of three scenarios happened, because like, we've never been in

360
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: a situation where we've had to guess which Andy Reid

361
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 1: running back will be the feature path because it's always

362
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: been McCoy or Westbrook or or you know, Hunt whatever

363
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, whatever the scenario is. So I wouldn't be

364
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: surprised if McCoy starts and Williams ends up splitting the workload.

365
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Williams starts and McCoy gets burned. Uh.

366
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: It's it's one of those things where we have to watch.

367
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: But I would tell you this, he was a second

368
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: or third round pick in drafts. Williams was before the

369
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs added McCoy, So some people out there are gonna

370
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: have no choice but to start him. And even if

371
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: he was going to be the guy this week, it's

372
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: still not a great matchup on the road against the Jaguars,

373
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 1: So I would temper my expectations. It's it's a bad spot.

374
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: It's a bad spot if you if you have shares

375
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: of Damian Williams, because he's never really benefeatured back. We

376
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: saw him succeed last year, small sample size, But now,

377
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, the ki's presence in that offense

378
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: just absolutely throws confusion, uh into which one of these

379
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: two backs is going to be the leader? Uh? And

380
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: maybe there won't be a leader. This could be a

381
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: fifty split I'll say I'll be shocked if I if

382
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: Damian Williams gets like fewer than twelve touches in week one,

383
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: and because he should be involved on the main back,

384
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: involved on passing down. So I'm sticking with him. And

385
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: as a you know, as a PPR plane. You mentioned

386
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: you most likely don't have another option, but you took

387
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: him in the second or third round if you drafted

388
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, like four days ago. Yeah, for me, he's

389
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: a flex starter, but you probably drafted him as a

390
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: one or two, right. Yeah, It's amazing how quickly things

391
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: changed over a weekend, that sort of thing. Uh, since

392
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: we're talking a little bit about the Chiefs and that

393
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: match up against the Jaguars. Uh, Tyreek Hill, who I

394
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: know a lot of us drafted as a number one

395
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He starts off and is likely going to

396
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: be locked up against Jalen Ramsey in this first week,

397
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: and you know it's very possible that Ramsey kind of

398
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: shadows him all over the field. Does that change how

399
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: either of you feel about Tyreek Hill? I mean, I

400
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: feel like it's hard to see him, but you know,

401
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: how do you think about it? Yeah? That'll be super

402
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: super interesting, Right, So Jalen Ramsey is typically a boundary

403
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: cornerback is not going to slot. But there have been

404
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: a few reports out that have said Ramsey's going to

405
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: travel into the slot, where with Tyree Hill, where Hill spends, Like,

406
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Hill's basically fifty boundary and the slot receiver.

407
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: I I absolutely think that Jack should allow Ramsey to

408
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: follow Hill into the slot. Um. But I mean this

409
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: is Tyreek Hill with Andy Reid who constantly gets moved

410
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: all over the place. And for me, I mean you

411
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: have to keep him in your lineup as a top

412
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 1: ten Yeah, last year seven targets for catches sixty one yards.

413
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: It takes one play. That's that's right. He is not

414
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: a player you're sitting. It's just, yeah, he's not a player.

415
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: You're saying. No player has maybe Julio Jones, but no

416
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: other receiver has weak tilting upside like Tyreek Kill does. Um.

417
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: Does this Does this bode well though? For Travis Kelsey

418
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: if he's staying. I mean, obviously Jacks were kind of

419
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: sneaky bad against tight ends last year because their corners

420
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: are so good. Um. And I mean obviously they'll be

421
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: without Telvin Smith this year too. Yeah, I mean every

422
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: week is a Travis Kelsey week. Though that's true that's

423
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: had a hundred yards against them last season. That's pretty fair.

424
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking at some games that potentially could be the

425
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: fantasy gold mine of the week, especially if you're looking

426
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: maybe to stream some guys, or if you just happen

427
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: to have a lot of these guys on your roster.

428
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: I listed three. I'm I'm curious to get your thoughts,

429
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: whether or not you agree, disagree, or if there's maybe

430
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: a game somewhere that I'm missing. Uh Arizona against Detroit

431
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: just because I think that the Cardinals defense, well I

432
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: don't think. I know that Cardinals defense is not going

433
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: to be good this year, which means the Lions can score,

434
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: which means, in theory, the Cardinals are gonna have to

435
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: keep moving the ball and pushing the ball to kind

436
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: of try and stay in the football game. Uh Niners

437
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: at Tampa Bay because neither one of those defenses looks

438
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: like they're gonna be very good this year. And then

439
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: Indie at the Chargers, Well, they have pretty good defenses,

440
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: but they all also both have pretty good offenses, so

441
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: I could see a lot of fans points being accumulated

442
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: there any one of those three games jump out to you, guys.

443
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: So Detroit's uh, top players on the offensive side. Not

444
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: talking about Matthew Stafford. He's a two QB league guy. Uh,

445
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: And that's about it. But carry on, Johnson, this is

446
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: a really good matchup kJ. I mean, last year the

447
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: Cardinals gave up five yards of carry over twenty five

448
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: fantasy points a game. They're running backs, and then you

449
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: know Kenny Golladay, you know Patrick Peterson, he ain't there,

450
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: So Holiday is another player that I feel like could

451
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: end up putting up nice wide receiver two numbers this

452
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: week for your fans. So not only not only did

453
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: the Cardinals not have Patrick Peterson, who suspended for the

454
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: first six games in this season, their number two cornerback

455
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: Robert Alfred broke his leg in the preseason. They're down

456
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: to Tremaine brock Byron Murphy and Chris Jones their top

457
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: three corners this week, and those guys have no chance

458
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: against Kenny Marvin Jones. Yeah. You know it's funny too,

459
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: because I have kind of been on record that I

460
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: like Dolladay's talent, I didn't necessarily love his intentional output.

461
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: But this is a eight start for him. PFF is

462
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: projecting him to be covered by Chris Jones, who's played

463
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: like two games in the NFL. It's it's an amazing

464
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: spot for this offense. Uh as for that San Francisco

465
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay game. Like, I feel like this is an

466
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: opportunity for us to sort of figure a little more

467
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: out about Jimmy Garoppolo and this Niner offensive the whole. Like,

468
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: I feel like we have sort of pinned down the

469
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: running back situation, but as we talked about with Dante

470
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: Pettist at the wide receiver spot, a lot of injuries

471
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: there and just this general questioning of who Jimmy Garoppolo is. Graham,

472
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: I think this is our chance to kind of get

473
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: a look against a bad defense and start to figure

474
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: out maybe what we're dealing with. Oh yeah, I love

475
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: everything on both sides of this game. Um, both teams

476
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: are going to be. Both teams, over the last couple

477
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: of years have been one of the fastest playing offenses

478
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: in the league, meaning they get in between They've been

479
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: top ten in terms of pace in in their seconds

480
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: between snaps. So we're gonna get a lot of play

481
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: volume here. We've got two shaky defenses, and we've got

482
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: the Bucks most likely throwing on their of their past plays.

483
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's it's just a perfect Week one set

484
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: up for both sides to go off here. Um. Like

485
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: I said, I like everything in this game. It's it's

486
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: really hard to find a bad avenue into this game. Yeah,

487
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: and Jamis I have him ranked very highly this week.

488
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: I have him seventh. Uh looking at last season's data,

489
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: which is unfortunately what we have to look at when

490
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: you're uh doing Week one projections. This this Niners defense, Uh,

491
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: they gave up the most passing touchdowns, the third most

492
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: fantasy points to quarterbacks on the road. So I think

493
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: Jamis is gonna thrive. Obviously we're into Evans and Chris

494
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: Godwin the backfield. Who the heck knows what's going to

495
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,719
Speaker 1: happen there? But O. J. Howard. And then when you're

496
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: talking about the Niners, I mean Garoppolos, you know he's

497
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: a sneaky two QB league play. I like Coleman because

498
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay couldn't stop the run last season. I'm not sure. Obviously,

499
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: Kittles and must start. I don't know about their wide receivers.

500
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: I think that's something that we're gonna have to keep

501
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: tabs on in terms of the target share. Uh. As

502
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: Graham mentioned, there's a few guys they're banged up, so, um,

503
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: it should be a fun game. It should be a

504
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: high scoring game. And Chris good Chris god I was

505
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: just gonna say, Chris Godwin has an amazing matchup Williams Slot.

506
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's one of it's one of the

507
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: three best matchups to have this week. I am watching

508
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: oddly enough to see how they used dari Ogan. I

509
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: got him as like kind of a last round pick

510
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: on a couple of teams. And you know, I feel

511
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: like a guy who is a passing down back on

512
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: a potentially bad team that's going to throw the football. Yeah,

513
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: maybe there's maybe there's an option back to god When

514
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: the Niners gave up fifteen touchdowns to slot receivers, he's

515
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: gonna eat. I know, dude, I have so many shares

516
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: of Chris Godwin. If he if he is an absolute bust,

517
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: it potentially begins this week. Hopefully the the offensive lion

518
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: Tampa is not as bad as it looked during the preseason. Um,

519
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: I know that the Niners front seven isn't quite as

520
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: good as what we saw with Cleveland, but many they

521
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: just destroyed. The Bucks offensive is not gonna be good

522
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: this year. But you mentioned the Niners front seven is

523
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: just not it's not scary. It's not quite as scary. Uh.

524
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: That Charger Charger a cult game. Um, maybe not what

525
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: we thought it was gonna be a couple of weeks ago,

526
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: and we thought maybe Andrew Luck was going to be playing.

527
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: But there are still some some noteworthy players on both sides.

528
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we know all about the Charger offense. Even

529
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: though they're going into the season obviously without Melvin Gordon. Um,

530
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, they still have plenty of weapons there. The

531
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: Colts have some talent at the skill position. Guys, I'm

532
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: sort of torn. I feel like this could go one way.

533
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: It could go either way, right, there could be a

534
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: whole lot of fantasy points that could be not as

535
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: many fantasy points. But it's one that I think if

536
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: you have players on either side of this, I feel

537
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: comfortable taking a chance on them this week. Oh yeah,

538
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean Austin Neckler is in a fantastic spot at home,

539
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: favored against the Colts. Colts front seven is very good,

540
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: very talented. Um didn't give up a ton of rushing

541
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: production last year, but Eckler is going to be super

542
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: involved in the passing game. I think this is a

543
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: pretty good spot in general for the Chargers side. Yeah, um,

544
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: the hunter Henry is obviously a guy that we love.

545
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 1: Keenan all back from the ankle injury. Uh, Eckler that situation,

546
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see sort of how that shakes out.

547
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: We all expect Eler to be more of the guy

548
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: than Justin Jackson. I'm interested to see how many touches

549
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: Jackson actually gets out of that backfield. But Eckler, Okay,

550
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a must start, but he's

551
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: a pretty damn good start this week, no question about that.

552
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: On the flip side, all the question marks are in

553
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: Annapolis because Andrew Luck has retired and Jacoby Brissette is

554
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: now uh the quarterback there like a guy like t

555
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: Y Hilton. I mean, I'm afraid of of Hilton because

556
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: there's a good chance that he's going to be shouted

557
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: by Casey Hayward and he's not catching passes from Andrew

558
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: Luck anymore. It is Jacoby Brissette and a couple of

559
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: years ago we did see t Y Uh, see a

560
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: real decline in his reliability from a fantasy perspective. Uh,

561
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: the tight end position. Who can you trust? Can you

562
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: trust either one of Doyle or remember last season when

563
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: Ebrun and Doyle were both on the field, He runs

564
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: targets were cutting a half and Doyle had a great

565
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: rapport with Brisette two seasons ago. Uh. And then we're

566
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: looking at Marlon Mack. I say he's a flex starter

567
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: this week, right because the volume should be there, but

568
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: game script could be an issue. A lot of questions

569
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: that we have to find out about in that Colts offen.

570
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: That's a good point about Mac. That's one thing I'm

571
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: super interested to see, Like if the if the Colts

572
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: get down this week, it is Mac or is it? Right?

573
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: And I feel like, you know, that was the name

574
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 1: that I don't think we talked about, but he did

575
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: start to creep up in my mind a little bit

576
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: when things changed, right, Like part of my waiving the

577
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: flag for Marlon Mack was that the Colt would be

578
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: winning games and he would sort of be the closer there.

579
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: If it turns out that, you know, they are not

580
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: the same team and they're not going to win, you know,

581
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: ten or twelve games this year. Then suddenly, if they're

582
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: throwing the football, Niheim Hines comes back into play sort

583
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: of like it was last year. Uh, the fantasy waste

584
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: lands of the week, the the games that may not

585
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: be quite so filled with fantasy production. I had three

586
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: of them here. Baltimore against Miami not so much that

587
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, I expect. You know, look, Baltimore's offenses is good.

588
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: It's fine. They're planning a bad defense, but they're also

589
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: going to run the football a lot, which doesn't necessarily

590
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: conducive to putting up thirty thirty five points a game.

591
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: You know, Miami is not gonna be very good going

592
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: against a good defense. Cincinnati against Seattle, the Bengals are

593
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: sort of a black hole. Really. I mean, if you

594
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: believe in Joe Mixon or Tyler Boyd, maybe there's something there.

595
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: But that Seattle defense got a lot better recently by

596
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: adding jadeveon Clowney. We'll see how many snaps he plays.

597
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 1: And again, the Seahawks run the football a lot. There,

598
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna be kind of a slower paced team. Buffalo

599
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: and the Jets got a good defense in the Bills

600
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: against a Jets team that should be better this year,

601
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: but I don't see them as necessarily a Jugger dot

602
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: coming right out of the gate here. How are you

603
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: guys viewing either of these games? Is there any other

604
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: one that that looks like it's going to be kind

605
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: of slow with fantasy production, So Miami, I don't know

606
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: that there's a player on that roster you can start

607
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: with any kind of confidence. Kenyan Drake that Baltimore's defense,

608
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if game script becomes sort of what we project,

609
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: he may catch a few passes out of the backfield

610
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: in the second half and that could be his saving grace.

611
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: But I think balt Lamar Jackson is a tremendous start

612
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: this week. The Dolphins are a mess right now. Their

613
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: defense a lot, the most rushing yards to visiting quarterbacks

614
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: this season ago we know what Lamar Jackson likes to do.

615
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram is a great start this week. Dolphins can't

616
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: stop the run. They didn't stop it last season, and

617
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: again that team is a disaster. That that is a

618
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: rebuilding team. The moves that they made uh signal a

619
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: rebuild and the Ravens defense now that the Dolphins offensive

620
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: line is worse without Laramie Tunseil and Ryan Fitzpatrick. We

621
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: all know that there are times where if it's Patrick

622
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: the wrong team multiple times in the game. I wouldn't

623
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: be surprised if the Ravens defense scored more points than

624
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: any single Dolphins offensive skill position player. And I also

625
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: have Mark Andrews on that tight en one two borderline

626
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: very interested to see what his snap count is and

627
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: what his target chair is. This is just a perfect

628
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: spot for both Jackson and Ingram. The Dolphins front seven,

629
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: outside of first round pick Christian Wilkins, lack some talent.

630
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: They definitely lack a little bit of talent. Um you

631
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: mentioned the Seahawks game. This is a get off spot

632
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: for that defense. Oh yeah. The Bengals offensive line is

633
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: might be without their their starting left tackle Corty Glenn

634
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: who's in concussion protocol. They're starting center putting Well in

635
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: a starting spot. Billy Price couldn't start in a starting

636
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: spot on on the front seven, or excuse me, the

637
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: front five both Zicki, Ansa and Clowney you're gonna play

638
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: week one. This is just a monster spot for the Seahawks.

639
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: D Carson Um I absolutely love the Seahawks this week. Yeah,

640
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean I think definitely on the field if they win,

641
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: and I just think that you know it, there will

642
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: be guys who could produce there. This is not necessarily

643
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: going to be just a bonanza of fantasy production. But

644
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: you're right Chris Carson, who also about one of the

645
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: biggest fantasy risers, biggest a DP risers in the off season. Um,

646
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: this is gonna be his chance. Where do you have

647
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: Carson your ranks this week? Uh? He is, And I'm

648
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna look it up for you right now. I believe

649
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: I have him right around twelve or thirty. I have

650
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: him eleven, Okay, so he's he's uh and end of

651
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: the end of the twelve team RB one list, I

652
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: might have him in like the top eight or ten. Yeah,

653
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: this is just such a good spot for him. That's great.

654
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean he's must start. We've got you know who

655
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: I love this week is Dalvin Cook. I've got to

656
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: Cook in my top five this week. Yes, Falcons. Falcons

657
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: front seven is given up the most receptions to running

658
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: back for like four straight seasons, three straight seasons and

659
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: four NET as well. I have four NET ranked highly

660
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: as well, So Carson had eleven. I think it's pretty

661
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: strong yeah, uh yeah. I love both those other guys

662
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned as well. This week, I think they're gonna

663
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: be solid Buffalo at the Jets. I just I have

664
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: a feeling this this will be the start of the

665
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: cold Beasley era in a lot of ways. Um you know,

666
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: I just see a lot of you know, short, medium

667
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: targets to him this week. I don't see this being

668
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: a particularly high scoring game either way, but I think

669
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: if you are a PPR fan, uh you have that.

670
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm also curious just to watch what happens with the

671
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: Bill's backfield. I don't know that I would take a

672
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: chance on on either of the guys back there this week,

673
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: But this is a game that I'm sort of watching.

674
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: It's weird. I feel like we're treating Week one now

675
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: like preseason games, trying to figure out how how a

676
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: lot of one breakdown. It sort of is honestly like

677
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: two things to think about though, with the Bills running

678
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: back or two asition is like, yes, Frank core is

679
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: never going to die, but Devin Singletary is so much

680
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: more talented at this point in his career than Gore.

681
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: And you know how often is t J Yelleden gonna

682
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: play me if Devin Singletary is gonna be playing on

683
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: passing downs and third downs, than what is yelled in

684
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: the role going to be. Actually think that we are

685
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: all expecting this kind of to be a three man committee,

686
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: But I could really see Devin Singletary taking a hold

687
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: of this backfield pretty quickly because it's pretty destitute behind him. Yeah,

688
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing that there's just you know,

689
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: they have three guys, but it's not neither one of

690
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: them at least right now, is one that you get

691
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: super excited about. But why not go with a young guy? Yeah?

692
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: What do you think of Josh Allen this week? Quarterbacks loaded? Man?

693
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: I know it's a good spots, you know, I mean,

694
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just fifteen or sixteen other guys want

695
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: to play over ahead of him. I'm just I'm also

696
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: curious whether or not teams or how much attention the

697
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: Jets are going to pay to him running the ball. Now,

698
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: it's like, do you do you keep a spy on

699
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: him just to make sure he stays in the pocket

700
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: and forcing him to throw the football. Last year when

701
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: he ran and got all those are it caught a

702
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: lot of people by surprise. This year, the words sort out.

703
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: Let's not forget too that this Jets defense is going

704
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: to be pretty pretty much improved this year too. I mean,

705
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: this is not the same bad Jets defense. Added they've

706
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: got some good players now. Yeah. Uh, streamers this week,

707
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: of course, quarterback tied in defense are the primary spots

708
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: where where people are streaming players this week. Uh. Any

709
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: streamers fabs that jump out to you with a quarterback position, Yeah.

710
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, UM good matchup here against Atlanta. Uh. They

711
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: give up more points to home quarterbacks last season than

712
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: any other team in the entire league. Cousins has has

713
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: been dropped as a QB two across the board, so

714
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: I do like his matchup. It's so hard to like

715
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: just label the dude streamer um Lamar Jackson. I don't

716
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: consider him a streamer. He's a streamer, and but that

717
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: people drafted him to be their QB one either, so

718
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: he's something that I would also have in my lineup.

719
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. I don't know that he's a streamer, but

720
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: people didn't drop their QB one, so he is another

721
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: player that I feel like needs to move up and

722
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: to your starting lineup. We mentioned at the top of

723
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: the show, Matt Stafford. You don't have to, I mean

724
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: very rarely are you're actually gonna stream a quarterback week one.

725
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: But Stafford is just in the absolute nuts situation against

726
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: the Cardinals this week. He just scares me, dude, Yeah,

727
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: just scared. Get this this. This feels like a week.

728
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: It's hard to pinpoint your Matt Stafford weeks. This feels

729
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: like a Matt staff If Stafford does not go off

730
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: this week, it is not gonna it's not gonna bode

731
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: well for his season long objections at all. Yeah. So

732
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: that Matt Stafford is kind of the one that I

733
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: had really been focusing on for the last few days,

734
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: just because against that that Carol or that the Arizona defense. Uh,

735
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: it feels like they were they were sneaky tough at

736
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: home against quarterbacks last season, but they also had Patrick Peterson.

737
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's a difference. He's kind of good. Uh,

738
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: tight end, I feel like you know that because tight

739
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: end is so kind of wide open right now. Maybe

740
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: there are some streamers. I don't know, Graham, if you

741
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: have something that you you kind of kept an eye

742
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: on this week. Yeah, I only put up one in

743
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. Column this week and his Darren Waller, Um, yeah,

744
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: there's not too Yeah, there's just not any good streamers

745
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: um right now. But Waller against the Broncos. Look, the

746
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: Broncos have a very talented defense, but they're kind of

747
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: quietly top six in PPR points per target allowed to

748
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: tight ends last year and after a b the Raiders

749
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: target distributions pretty pretty much wide open. If you want

750
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: to get crazy, you can go Tyler Eiford. Do you

751
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: want to get crazy? Right? I mean no, A J.

752
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: Green and uh Gamescript could see them throwing the ball

753
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: in the second half, you could go Ifort. It's actually

754
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: a pretty good call because the Seahawks have a pretty

755
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: bad I mean, like they're not going to be that

756
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: great against tighten covers this year with time. And Jordan

757
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: Reed is also in concussion protocol, so if he's out

758
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: Vernon Davis For those who are desperate, I mean, look,

759
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: I know that the thing that guys didn't seem excited

760
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: talking about screaming no, you're right now. And the thing

761
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: about Iffort, right, the reason people stay away from Ifford

762
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: is because of the situation. Right, But he's not hurt now,

763
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 1: he's healthy now, So I like the call quite a bit. Actually,

764
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm not. Actually I think I would play him over

765
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: Waller frankly. Yeah, I mean, so he's he's healthy, he's

766
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: available now. So you know, your fears don't mean anything

767
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: at the moment, because we know when he's on the field,

768
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: he gets targets and he's productive. Excited about two is

769
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker and he was a late round pick. A

770
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: lot of people have that what have you done for

771
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: me lately? Mentality? Listen, the dude is going to get

772
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: a lot of targets. Man, as long as he's on

773
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: the field and he's a percent now, he's going to

774
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: get a ton of targets in that offense, whether it's

775
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: Mariota or Tannehill throwing in the football. Arthur Smith is

776
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: the new OC there. He's been the tight ends coach

777
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: there for a long long time. He and Delaney Walker

778
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: have a very good relationship. He's going to be a

779
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: big part of that offense. Uh. Any thoughts too, will

780
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: dis Lee in Seattle? Yeah, I looked at that. Um,

781
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: that's like, you know dfs like just Dart throw Well.

782
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: They cut Jacob Allister, who every single preseason pops and

783
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: then does nothing during the actual preseason game and then

784
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: at Dixon's on I R so well dis Lee though

785
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: he's coming off that terrible knee injury. Yeah, I mean

786
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: that's that's a concern. But man, the Bengals were bad

787
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: against tight ends last year. The Seahawks don't really have

788
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: a number two receiver right. Weirdly, DK Metcalf is like what,

789
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: ten days removed from having knee surgery and he's supposed

790
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: to play this He supposed to play this week. Um,

791
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 1: I mean medical technology, my friend, the advancement, and Metcalf

792
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: is actually actually just part robot. He really is an avenger.

793
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: He could he could well could have adamantium in his

794
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: He very well could be an avenger. Uh. Defensive streamers

795
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: this week, I know, like you know, if the Cowboys

796
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: are out there, I feel like they're the number one Seahawks.

797
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks are a number A good option for you if

798
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: they're out there as well. There are some good Broncos.

799
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Broncos, right? I mean,

800
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: like I mean, Derek Carr, he's got a lot to prove.

801
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 1: Broncos could be a streamer. The Jets and the Bills

802
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: both could be streamers. They could stream, you could stream

803
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: them against each other. You know who's super super sneaky

804
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: this week if the Seahawks and Cowboys are gone, is

805
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: the Browns at home? Oh dude, Titans? But do you

806
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: think so I dropped him to be my Okay? I

807
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: always thought that they were kind of they were sneaky

808
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: defensive draft pick for me as well. But I think

809
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: if they're out there, if they're out there, get them. Yeah.

810
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: I know. I just put them up in my column

811
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: because I noticed they were like un something like that. Wow.

812
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: Uh point four percent owned, So they're still available and available.

813
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: That's insane to me, especially with the matchup against the Titans. Yeah,

814
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: that's uh. If they're out there, man, go get the Browns. Man,

815
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: go get that Browns defense. Uh. Yeah. So those are

816
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: some of our streamers there. I don't know if there's

817
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: any other guys that that you guys really love this week,

818
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 1: that that you want to kind of promote or anything

819
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: of that, but I felt like, you know, that's that's

820
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: a pretty good start for week one. Um, now to

821
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: the questions, because you know, I know that you guys

822
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 1: all have questions out there. I put out the call

823
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: through the NFL Fantasy handles. So I got a handful

824
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: of tweets here that we can go through and uh,

825
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: you guys can give your thoughts. Uh. Some guys that

826
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: we sort of mentioned at the top of this segment here,

827
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: uh Fantasy for Life asking who to start Matt Ryan

828
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: against the Vikings or Kyler Murray against Detroit. I mean fact,

829
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: I see you sort of squirming already because I know,

830
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean, typically it's gonna be Matt Ryan, but the

831
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 1: Viking Stevens is just it's very good for you and

832
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: especially on their own turf. I'm going Kyler Murray, all right, Okay,

833
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: So Graham, Kyler Murray or Jamis Winston in week one? Yeah,

834
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: I gucsually think I might have this call in a league.

835
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: Dam Um, oh god, I've got I've think James is

836
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: so much higher than Kylor. I don't know. I think

837
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: it's Jamis too, just because of the matchup and how

838
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: many passes, how many attempts I think you have this week.

839
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it's Jamis. Uh Alan Robinson or

840
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: al Shan Jeffrey and a half point PPR al Sean

841
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: come on, mans Washington. They could hammer the Redskins. I

842
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: don't all Sean just like I can never trust him.

843
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: I get I get the matchup. I just I can

844
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: never I could never trust him. But the thing is,

845
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: I could never trust Allen Robinson either. I'm laughing because

846
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: I feel like that was sort of the preseason consensus

847
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: on al Shan, Like that's the name that just didn't

848
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of talk, good battering different because

849
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: people is kind of like he's you know, he's he's all.

850
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: He's not bad, He's not al Shan has the better

851
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: matchup and he has Carson Wentz better quarterback, better matchup.

852
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: All Right, I can go with that. So how point

853
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: ppr al Sean Jeffrey there Um we mentioned the Chiefs backfield,

854
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: so uh Daniel Rosen asking he should he flex Damian

855
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: Williams or Duke Johnson. Duke Johnson Duke for sure, Duke

856
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: Duke could play like I think. I think people will

857
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: be surprised when they see Duke play like seventy the

858
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: volume alone, dude. I mean, I I don't think he's

859
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: gonna leave the field they I did. Look, the Saints

860
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: were really tough on on pass catching running backs on

861
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: their home field last season, but this is not so

862
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: much about the matchup because this could be a high

863
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: scoring game and it's all about volume, I mean, just

864
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: opportunities you want, yes, even if the matchup is bad,

865
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: you want avenues in his high scoring game. Yes, ye yeah,

866
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: I think you know. I think what we'll see this

867
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: year is a reminder of what Duke Johnson was. Like

868
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: I loved him coming out of the U, right, and

869
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: he just ended up in a bad situation. And I

870
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: think hopefully this year will be the reminder of what

871
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: he was and what he could be. My initial rankings,

872
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: I have you know in that Josh Jacobs, David Montgomery

873
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: sort of Austin Ekeler area. Alright, so he's in your

874
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 1: lineup this week, Isaac wanted to know this. This seems

875
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: more like a flex, like a weird not a weird flex.

876
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: But like I'm I'm bragging a humble brag about his

877
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: lineup than anything else. Looking for his RB two in

878
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 1: a PPR league. His options are mark Ingram, DeVante Freeman,

879
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: or David Montgomery. Really, dude, that's a humble brag, right,

880
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: Like these are your options. So here's here's what's funny

881
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 1: about that. I have Ingram at fifteen three minutes sixteen

882
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: in Montgomery seventh. So like, I don't know, get it,

883
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: hard boards start throwing darts. I mean ingram for me,

884
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: but I mean, dude, they're all three very good room.

885
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: Probably just because the double digit you're sorry to top

886
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: two touchdown upside in that game. I think he's seriously

887
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 1: going to go off. But yeah, it's a great problem

888
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: to have. Yeah, so that also makes me wonder who

889
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: his RB one is. Right, it's gonna be like, you know,

890
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: one of the ZI. Sometimes I feel like people just

891
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: love to tweet there because they want to show you

892
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: how they just want to look how good I am.

893
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy quietly mentioned you know, how good they're their their roster.

894
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: Another DeVante Freeman question RB two. DeVante Freeman against the

895
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: Vikings or Austin Eckler against the Colts. I think I

896
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 1: tend to lean toward Freeman there. I would too, Yeah,

897
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: I would to Freeman's there's a lot of good running

898
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: back places this week. Freeman's top ten guy. I have

899
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: a feeling that DeVonta Freeman's gonna catch a lot of

900
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: balls this week because they want to just slow down

901
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: that that Minnesota pass rush a little bit. And so

902
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: I think that means a lot of screens, a lot

903
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: of dump offs to Devonte Freeman, just to you know,

904
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 1: try to give him Matt Ryan a little bit more

905
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: time to keep him up right a little bit. Um

906
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: Tomer wanting to know in a two quarterback league, he's

907
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: already starting Russell Wilson, and so he wants to know,

908
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: does he go Mit Rubisky or Ben Roethlisburger. Uh, yeah,

909
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I guess I'm going Roethlisberger. I'm just

910
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: not a big fan of Cherubisky. I'm just not a fan. Um,

911
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: I would go big Ben there. I don't love it, though,

912
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: do not love it. Yeah, Trubisky has a huge, huge

913
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: range of outcomes. I know every literally every single and

914
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: also keep in mind two right last season when he

915
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: had the big games, he ran for you know, thirty

916
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: or four yards, got into the end zone, and I

917
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: almost feel like Rubisky needs that to to have a

918
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: big week. He needs to be able to have some success.

919
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: I'm on the ground I might lean if it's big

920
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: Ben verst Rubisky. I might lean dru Whisky because I

921
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: think the Patriots in Bill Belichick know that they're not

922
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: gonna let you juice Miss Schuster beat them. Steelers are

923
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: on the road. Uh tough road spot week one. I

924
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: think i'd lean rubisky all right? Uh great about that?

925
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: Last one? A couple of Bay Area running backs a

926
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: flex option in a PPR league for Adam. He wants

927
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: to know Josh Jacobs or Tevin Coleman Jacobs, but I

928
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: do like Coleman Jacobs. Alright, alright, cool. So those are

929
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: a handful of question. You know, you can always tweet

930
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: us at NFL Fantasy, or you can tweet in the

931
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: of US individually. I guess you could send it to

932
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast handle, but there are a whole lot

933
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: of podcasts here, and so you may not get the

934
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: answer you're looking for from the person you're looking for, so, uh,

935
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:34,919
Speaker 1: you know, be warned. Um. Last episode of Hard Notch

936
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: for this season aired on Tuesday night, and uh, just

937
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: a couple of quick takeaways as we kind of wrap

938
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: this thing up. First Off, Josh Jacobs is real. He

939
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: actually showed up. They they fonted him and everything. I

940
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: think he mumbled some words even Uh, so he's a

941
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: real person. It took five episodes for us to confirm that,

942
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: but Josh Jacobs does exist, So hallelujah. For everybody who

943
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 1: drafted him. Now you know that he is a real

944
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: corporeal entity, uh and can actually care the football. Uh.

945
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: Just about all the guys that they profiled this season

946
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: kind of got cut, right. They talked about Luke Wilson

947
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: he got cuts. Clan Doss he got cut, Jason Cabinda

948
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: he got cut. Brandon Marshall, the linebacker, not the wide receiver,

949
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: got cut. This it's got a stunk in that respect.

950
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 1: Like usually you get guys to root for, like one

951
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: of them makes the team, but not this year. Um.

952
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: But the biggest question for me because the one thing

953
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: we talked about was that it seemed like the Raiders

954
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: sort of had a lot of creative control over this show. UM.

955
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: I was kind of expecting to see executive producer Mike

956
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: Mayock at the end and the credits. Um. It makes

957
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: me wonder whether or not we've sort of seen the

958
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: last of Hard Knocks, as we know, because if other

959
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: teams watched this, right, and so you know that whoever

960
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: gets picked next year is gonna kind of wanted to

961
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: be the same way. They're not gonna let people like

962
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: we didn't see in We didn't see any of the

963
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: one on one meetings when they were cutting guys. The

964
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: only one we saw, I think was the the Jason

965
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: Cabinda meeting. But normally they take you in the room

966
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: and they you know, the coaches is talking is talking

967
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: to the players and and kind of telling him that

968
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, hey, you know, I know it's a tough decision.

969
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about this, we gotta cut you. We didn't

970
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: see any of that, And I just wonder whether or

971
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: not this is gonna be kind of the norm, and

972
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: whether or not the inside look in teams that we

973
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: got for Hard Knocks is kind of done. Yeah, I

974
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: think we just got so much access to the Browns

975
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: last year. I wonder if that's like maybe just heavily

976
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: weighted in our minds. Maybe it all also, I mean

977
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: and honestly never made sense to be like, I kind

978
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: of always felt bad, like that's one of the player's

979
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: worst moment, I was getting cut having this dream, especially

980
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: the guys that are like U D f as Um. Yeah,

981
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely it's one of those things that like

982
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: it's captivating TV, but at the same time, it's always

983
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: hard to watch it is. It is a low moment

984
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: personally and professionally for these guys. Uh, and we were

985
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 1: always kind of taking in behind the scenes. So I

986
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, overall, it was not the season

987
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,919
Speaker 1: that I thought it was going to be on Hard Knocks. Yeah,

988
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: it's just flatlined. It's just a flatline. I didn't even

989
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: watch last night. I had a million other things going

990
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 1: on work, work related. But I just felt like they

991
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: should have been on Hard Knocks the season that they

992
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: went to Las Vegas. That would have a little bit

993
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: more intriguing. I would think that the league will kind

994
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: of give them a would have given them a pass

995
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: just because of the move and the chaos there. Although

996
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: they finally mentioned Las Vegas at the very end of

997
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: this last episode. Uh, they finally mentioned that, oh, by

998
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: the way, the Raiders moving to Las Vegas next year.

999
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: It was like a footnote sort of thing. I'm like,

1000
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: that's kind of a big story. But I don't know. Anyway,

1001
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: So we made it through another episode, another season of

1002
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks. I'm sure, you know, eight nine months from

1003
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: now will be eagerly anticipating who the team next year

1004
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: is going to be. Uh, we'll see whatever. Anyway, whatever

1005
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: that's it. We are done. We have finally made it

1006
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: all the way through this slug. Like I said at

1007
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: the top of the next time we talked to you,

1008
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: there will have been real, meaningful football played. It is

1009
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: exciting to know. So we appreciate you always downloading and listening,
