1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: Wow, it is Friday.

2
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: You know what that means.

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 3: It is time for another edition of the Stardom Cindam Show.

Speaker 3: the Kawan Jones who just likes giving his opinions on things.

Speaker 3: We are grateful for that as well. So look forward

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 3: through four weeks. I know it's been a frustrating fantasy year.

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 3: How how are you feeling about the Start Sit calls

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 3: so far?

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 4: Overall? Pretty good? Week two was not the best one

14
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 4: for me, but week three week bounce back. Week one

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 4: was solid all I mean, it was good all things

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 4: considered that, Like, we don't really know anything coming into

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 4: week one, but I will say Week four was actually

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 4: a very good one as well. But Week five, this

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 4: this one that we were about to talk about, is

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 4: the spiciest I've ever written. There is a ton of

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 4: big names that I'm look I might be wearing it

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 4: on the chin next week or I'm gonna be You're

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 4: not gonna hear me shut up, but I am talking.

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 4: I'm advising against a lot of big names.

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's start because I feel like quarterbacks

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: got a few of those big names in them. Who

27
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: are your starts and sits under center?

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 4: My starts are Jayden Daniels, even in a tough matchup

29
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 4: against the Browns must start option now. I think Jordan

30
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: love One is just a must start option with the

31
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 4: way he played last week. But also, sorry to Lakwan Rams,

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 4: Justin Fields is running again. And not only that, to me,

33
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: he just looks so much more comfortable in this offense,

34
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 4: and I think that's something that we forget, like he

35
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 4: wasn't supposed to start new team all of that. Brock Perdy,

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 4: who has gone off against the Cardinals in the past,

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 4: that defense doesn't scare me at all. And Gino Smith,

38
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 4: I've said it a lot this week. I think like

39
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 4: three or four touchdowns are coming for Gino this week.

40
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 4: And then the Sis. These these are some spicy names.

41
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 4: I have Pat Mahomes because he's just a name right now,

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray who really struggles against the forty nine ers

43
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 4: in his career, Joe Burrow, who has really struggled against

44
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 4: the Ravens as of late, and they are shutting everyone

45
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 4: down right now, You're a touchdown leader in Sam Darnold

46
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 4: against the Jets, Aaron Rodgers. I'm sitting both quarterbacks in

47
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 4: that game, and then Derek Carr as well. Those first

48
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 4: two weeks were fun. The last two weeks have not

49
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: been fun at all.

50
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 3: So I mean, let's let's just start with the headline.

51
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you mentioned that he is a name right now,

52
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes. Wow, how many where do you have him?

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: Right?

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: Does he still even sneak into your top twelve at

55
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: this point?

56
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 5: No? Straight out, no, no, no, real nasty.

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 4: I mean starting other quarterbacks on this sittem list before

58
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: I would start Mahomes.

59
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: Wow. All right, la Quan, how far down the list

60
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: do you have Mahomes?

61
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 6: He's definitely outside the top twelve, but top fifteen still,

62
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 6: like it's still Mahomes Like he's still good at football,

63
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 6: but fantasy right now, it's just hard to put him

64
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 6: in starting lineups when other quarterbacks are giving you higher ceilings.

65
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 6: So it's like, I get it. It just looks nasty

66
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 6: having him along the bench and having a guy like

67
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 6: Sam Darnold or a Gino Smith or a Baker Mayfield

68
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 6: and starting lineups over him. I mean, this is where

69
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 6: we're at now, though.

70
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I've got a team where I've got

71
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: Mahomes and Gino Smith, and without hesitation, I plug Gino

72
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: Smith in it, like didn't think twice about it, Like yeah, yeah,

73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: Geno against the Giants versus Mahomes against the Saints, all

74
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: good was not even a consideration At this point. You

75
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: mentioned Florio Jayden Daniels, the tough matchup against against Cleveland.

76
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: I think I said this to you earlier in the

77
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: week that this feels like the start of a real

78
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: training a real testing ground for him, right, because they

79
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: got the they've got the Browns, they've got the Ravens,

80
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: they've got the Steelers, they got the Bears in there.

81
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: If let's say he goes out and has a eighteen

82
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: to twenty point game against the Browns, like at this point,

83
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: that does that graduate him out of being in the

84
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: start Sitcollum at this point?

85
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wrote and literally the first sentence on the

86
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: Jade and Daniels section, I was like, yeah, after that,

87
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: if he is a good week this week, it's too

88
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 4: obvious for me to start to write it like on

89
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 4: the start top of each section, it says you won't

90
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 4: get obvious names if Jade and Daniels balls out this week.

91
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 5: He's too obvious.

92
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 3: Wow, this is where we are rookie season and he

93
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: has been like already graduating out of really graduating.

94
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Potentially five weeks into his NFL career, that

95
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: is wild.

96
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 4: Uh.

97
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: Let's move over to running backs. Who's your starts? Who's

98
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: your six?

99
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 4: I have Travis Etn and Josh Jacobs both as starts.

100
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 4: I know they haven't been living up to their fantasy expectations,

101
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 4: but they are in both great matchups. Naji Harris gets

102
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 4: so much volume, and the Cowboys struggled against the run

103
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: when they were healthy, now they are super banged up.

104
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 4: DeAndre Swift, who I know you like as well this

105
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 4: week Marcus and then Jerome Ford. The Commanders, as much

106
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 4: as they struggle against the past, are allowing explosive runs

107
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 4: at nearly twenty five percent, is by far the highest

108
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 4: rate in the NFL. And then my sis Zach Moss

109
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 4: because the Ravens have played four games and no running

110
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 4: back has a run of ten yards against them, Plus

111
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: they have allowed the fewest rushing yards in the league.

112
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 4: Devin Singletary, this is one that like the maybe volume

113
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 4: gets him into your lineup, But the Seahawks before they

114
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 4: played the Lions had been shutting down running backs Zamir White.

115
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 4: There is absolutely no chance you could start him with

116
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 4: any sort of confidence. And then the Chiefs running backs Hunt,

117
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 4: Steel p Ryan. I think if you have to start one,

118
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 4: it's clearly Kareem Hunt right now. But Saints are a

119
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: good defense, and I all three were involved still last week.

120
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: I still kind of want to take a step back.

121
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 2: If I can quan, how are you approaching the Chiefs

122
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: backfield at this point?

123
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 5: I'm not this week. It's in the matchup.

124
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 6: Like I feel like even with you know, you know

125
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 6: a lot of folks still having Carson Steely on their team,

126
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 6: but I think he's on punishment right now. You gotta

127
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 6: hold on to the ball like you can't be fumbling

128
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 6: out there as a rookie. So that's a bad look there.

129
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 6: So like Reem Hunt, I understand that, you know, he

130
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 6: had some good usage last week, but you're going against

131
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 6: the Saints on the ground, and that's not a matchup.

132
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 6: I feel comfortable putting Green Hunt in there with you know,

133
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 6: some a JP Ryan still out there trying to take

134
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 6: some PPR upside. So this is going to be an

135
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 6: ugly matchup for the Chiefs, like they had an ugly

136
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 6: match up the last three weeks. Like it's kind of

137
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 6: just what they've been right now. So I feel like

138
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 6: going out there trying to approach what they what they uh,

139
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 6: Kansas City Chiefs running back in your starting lineup, you

140
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 6: have to be really desperate.

141
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: H what Floory ask you about a running back that's

142
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 3: not on this list here but Romondre Stevenson, a guy

143
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 3: that a lot of us had hopes for. Now there's

144
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: saw that Antonio Gibson might start because Stevenson's putting the

145
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 3: ball on the ground. But the matchups against Miami is

146
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 3: so good. How are you feeling about about Remandre right now?

147
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: Look, it's hard to be like super optimistic given THENT

148
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 4: like what the talk is and everything, But I think

149
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 4: you give him one more chance more than likely, Like

150
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 4: it always depends on your options. But I have a

151
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 4: lot of teams that are in need of running back

152
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: help right now. So the matchup, to me, I think

153
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 4: keeps him in play. But I also think Antonio Gibson

154
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 4: is a sleeper this week, Like this is one of

155
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: those situations where I don't feel super confident with either

156
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 4: one because we don't know how the work will get distributed,

157
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 4: but the matchup is so good that if I need

158
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: to take a shot, I'm fine taking that one.

159
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 5: I am.

160
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that this talk about Antonio Gibson is just

161
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: chatter because I'm starting Remandre and I need him to

162
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: have a good week, so hopefully this is just something

163
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: to light a fire under him and it's nothing more

164
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: than that.

165
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: Floury and wide receivers. Who you got this week.

166
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 4: Not as maybe as spicy, but Deontay Johnson at the Bears.

167
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 4: I know it's a tough matchup. I don't care. I

168
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: think he is a must start right now. Amari Cooper

169
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 4: because the matchup against the Commanders is elite and his

170
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 4: volume is elite as well. Jayden Red and Dontavian Wicks

171
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 4: against the Rams, who have been torched through the air

172
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 4: this year. I also think Romeo Dobbs is a sleeper

173
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 4: in this one. Terry McLaurin against the Browns. I know

174
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 4: the Browns are a good defense. Terry is very good.

175
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: Jayden Daniels is very good. I'm willing to take a

176
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: shot on the talent there, and then Khalil Shakir I

177
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 4: think is just quickly becoming a must start option, such

178
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 4: a safe floor, and we're seeing more upside my sits.

179
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 4: I had DeVante Adams, but it doesn't look like he's

180
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 4: going to play t Higgins against the Ravens. I know

181
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: it's a little bit of a spicy call, but Burrow

182
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 4: has struggled and so is Higgins in recent games against them.

183
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 4: Keenan Allen just not enough volume last week for me

184
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 4: to get fired up for him. Jalen Waddle, I think

185
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 4: everyone can see why with that one. Jordan Addison because

186
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 4: Jets defense is elite, and Courtland Sutton the Raiders, for

187
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 4: as much issues as they have going on, they have

188
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 4: been really good at limiting outside wide receivers this year.

189
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm really you know, I don't I don't have Quurtland Sutton.

190
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: He's another guy that I'm trying to squint really hard

191
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: and try to find some sleeper value in.

192
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: But I can sort of get that one.

193
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 3: Quan, I want to ask you about about Tyreek Hill

194
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: because Jalen Waddle is on the sit list. I know

195
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 3: we were sort of saying that, man, it's hard to

196
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 3: get away from Tyreek Hill. See more and more people

197
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: tweeting about the fact they're going to put Tyreek Hill

198
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: on the bench.

199
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: Have you reached that point yet?

200
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 6: Yes, I personally don't have many shares, but I'm putting

201
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 6: them on the bench.

202
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 5: You just have to.

203
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 6: You can't go out there when you have guys that

204
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 6: you drafted in later round putting up more fantasy points

205
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 6: than a Tyreek Hill a first round investment, and may

206
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 6: feel like you got to just work yourself up to.

207
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 5: Go do it, But no, it's a bad offense right now.

208
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 6: Things are not working in Miami right now, and I

209
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 6: can't go out there and put a bad product in

210
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 6: my starting line I'm expecting each and every single weekend

211
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 6: now that he's going to have this bomb game.

212
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 5: Like we're not getting the Tyreek Hill that we've had.

213
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 6: Our expectations had to lower down a ton once he

214
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 6: moved to Skyler Thompson. Now they're on Snoop shout out

215
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 6: the Pro Bowl Snoop all supports. But that is not

216
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 6: an offense that I feel comfortable putting Tyreek Hill in

217
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 6: my starting lineups.

218
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: Florida.

219
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: And maybe this is a bigger conversation for another show.

220
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 3: But you know, screw it, I'm gonna ask you here anyway.

221
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: Guys like Khalil Shakir getting opportunities. You know, a guy

222
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: like Alan Lazard getting opportunities right now. He's a top

223
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: twenty wide receiver, Wandel Robinson a top twenty five wide receiver.

224
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: These are guys who aren't you know, like, look, you

225
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 3: have the elite guys at the top, right, we're we're

226
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 3: not worried about the Justin Jeffersons, the Chris Godwins, the

227
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: A'mon Ross Saint Browns.

228
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: Those guys are doing their thing. But are we gonna

229
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: start next year looking differently at some of these these

230
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: slot guys who sort of work underneath, who find spaces

231
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: and zones, those guys who generally speaking, we're not really

232
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: thinking of, We're not checking for them in like the

233
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: fifth sixth round. Are we gonna start sort of changing

234
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 2: the way we draft as long as offenses are continuing

235
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: to check down with their passing games.

236
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 4: Uh, it might like this year has been an awful

237
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 4: year if you went like heavy on wide receivers because

238
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 4: teams are passing less. Like the too high safety thing

239
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 4: is a legit problem for a lot of these offenses,

240
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 4: which leads to a lot of underneath stuff. A couple

241
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 4: of years ago, I started writing a slot article for

242
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 4: on NFL dot Com, and it was just like, these

243
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 4: are the guys that are consistently getting usage in the slot,

244
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: and these are the defenses that really struggle against them.

245
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 4: So maybe I don't think the fantasy community, though, is

246
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 4: going to change a whole lot. We're always going to

247
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 4: chase upside and slot receivers are more of a safe

248
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: floor type of thing. They're also players that like Wandell

249
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 4: has been very useful, but you can get him off

250
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 4: the waiver wire coming into the year. So maybe the

251
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 4: one I will say, you can call me a homer.

252
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 4: Khalil Shakir, I think is a little different because he

253
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 4: is the top target on his team, whereas Wandell is

254
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 4: number two, Alan Lazard is number two. So to me,

255
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 4: it depends a little bit on your role in your offense.

256
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: Oyay, yeah, I mean it's just it's the thing that

257
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 3: kind of struck me right, Like some of these guys

258
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: that we don't traditionally think of as really fantasy heavy

259
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: wide receivers are having some good seasons so far, I

260
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 3: don't wonder.

261
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: If it's gonna change things. We're slow to change. I

262
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: think sometimes in draft theory too.

263
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 4: What what are we gonna cause? Lakwan, you made dorsch Land.

264
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 4: What is Wandell's thing going to be?

265
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 6: Uh see, I've been trying to just think of other

266
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 6: things that can get Wandell, but like Wandel's world, like Disneyland.

267
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 6: I don't know, but I'm like trying not to be

268
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 6: so like high expectations on him week the week because

269
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 6: I kind of just want this to slow burn, to

270
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 6: just be consistent and then I can jump on it.

271
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 6: Because Greg Doors, we put all our stocks into that,

272
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 6: into that park, and now it's closed for me.

273
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 4: Hey, you just gotta reinvest in the slot receiver.

274
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 5: That's all. Yeah, there you go.

275
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: Wandale archipelago, that's what I archipelago.

276
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 3: It is a series of islands, you know, like what, Yeah,

277
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 3: what's the thing you.

278
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 4: Taught me yesterday?

279
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 5: You and Patrick Isthmus.

280
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: It is a strip of land with water on two

281
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: sides of it.

282
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: Did you know either of those?

283
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 5: Lakwan, absolutely not.

284
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: We were discussing isthmuses and peninsula's yesterday. In case for

285
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: those of you out there.

286
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: Who wonder what kind of stuff we talk about here

287
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: at the job, Like when we're not on shows.

288
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: We discussed land mass forms of land masses.

289
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I learned something new each day.

290
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: There you go, So archipelagos, isthmuses and peninsula's just look

291
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: them up. We'll get back to the matter at hand, though,

292
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: tight hands your starts and since for the week.

293
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 4: Jake Ferguson, who I think is just becoming a mustard

294
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: option right now. You know how bad tight end is.

295
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 4: He's the number two target on a team that throws

296
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 4: a bunch. And I would say the same about Dawnt Kincaid.

297
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 4: I know some people are like, he hasn't been having

298
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 4: great games. He's averaged eleven Fantasy points per game the

299
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 4: last two weeks. That is elite at the current state

300
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 4: of tight end. Brock Bow, I know the last two

301
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 4: weeks haven't been as fun as the first two weeks.

302
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 4: It doesn't erase those either, And with Devonte Adams out,

303
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 4: plenty of volume there Evan Ingram, because he is the

304
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 4: average double digit Fantasy points against him last year. He

305
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 4: has at least five catches every time he's played him,

306
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 4: and I saw some comments being like starting Evan Ingram

307
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: in his first game back. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't

308
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 4: realize you were the one guy that has a good

309
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 4: tight end in your league. And then at friar Mouth

310
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 4: showed us some upside last week, so that gets me excited.

311
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: And then the CITs these get me sad Mark Andrews

312
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 4: and Isaiah Likely, I don't see how you can start

313
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 4: them right now. And then Cole Comet Tyler Conklin tastes

314
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 4: him Hill to round it out.

315
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's rough.

316
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: I kind of want to believe in Tyler Conklin just

317
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: because I think the way to attack the Vikings is

318
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: just sort of underneath. I mean, they're gonna play a

319
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: lot of show coverage, They're gonna blitz a lot, so

320
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: maybe there's some space in there.

321
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: So maybe there's some room for Tyler Conklin.

322
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: Taysom Hill because you put him on the set list,

323
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: is gonna just like he's gonna go off.

324
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: It's just gonna happen.

325
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 4: I write it every time I have him as a

326
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 4: city like, You're just like he is not a tight end.

327
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 4: You are hoping for a rushing touchdown.

328
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I mean you're right, but it's gonna happen.

329
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 5: To receiving, you just hope for a touchdown.

330
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 3: So, Lak, you heard Floria talking about Evan Ingram people

331
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: being sort of indignant about starting him. Are you would

332
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: you be starting him if you have him?

333
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 6: Absolutely? I mean you drafted him. The guy that you

334
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 6: had filling in his role was off the waiver wire

335
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 6: and he's been giving you four points. You understand the

336
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 6: situation where we're at with the tight end situation, so absolutely,

337
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 6: you have to understand. His role in that offense is

338
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 6: very important when it comes to scoring touchdowns in the

339
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 6: middle of the field, security blanket for Trevor Lawrence and etcetera, etcetera.

340
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 6: He is going to be a weapon utilizing. It's a

341
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 6: great sign that he's practicing this week. Things are looking

342
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 6: to be okay for the most part. But if he

343
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 6: plays and he gets the okay, he gets the green light,

344
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 6: He's in my st any lineup.

345
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 3: I'm starting him, uh one, because like everybody else, I

346
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: need tight end help.

347
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: So the matchup is good.

348
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: I talked about earlier in the week about Trevor Lawrence

349
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: being a sleeper having an opportunity to bounce back this week,

350
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: so why not get one of his favorite.

351
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what my last two losses in my

352
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 6: leagues have been because the tight end like situation has

353
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 6: just been nasty. Like I've lost by like four points

354
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 6: or like seven points, and it's like, dude, you couldn't

355
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 6: just put up ten points and I could have got

356
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 6: this dub like right, like what's going on? Like seriously,

357
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 6: So you get a starting tight end who's a real

358
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 6: threat that has an actual silent target share, he's in

359
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 6: the starting lineup.

360
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so Evan Ingram definitely fits that category this week.

361
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: So I'm with Florio. Get him on your lineup. If

362
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: you got him, get him in your lineup, because I mean,

363
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: I don't know who are you going to start? Like

364
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 3: Eric Soalbert come on.

365
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 5: And Lacwan Jones off the street and Jeans, like what's up?

366
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: Start start Evidage.

367
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 4: Honestly, you might be a top ten tight end.

368
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 5: Not seriously, I'm.

369
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: So serious, dude. You know one catch for like fifteen

370
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: yards and you're very much in the running, so here

371
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 3: we go.

372
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 4: I feel like you might have to dye your hair blonde.

373
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 4: And John new Smith might not even have a good year,

374
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 4: like he just might fall into top five tight end that's.

375
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 5: What's so crazy.

376
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 2: Yeah right, Wow, craziness absolute.

377
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 4: If you can't tell, I'm really wanting to see you blonde.

378
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, seeing that, I'll take some of the hair comments

379
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 6: off of you to me.

380
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 2: Now. Oh man, all right, that feels like a good

381
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 2: spot for us to end.

00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: Unless you guys want to talk about, like I don't know,

00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,359
