1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: On today's NFL Fantasy Live podcast, we take a look

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: back at the Monday night between the Bears and Cowboys.

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: What's out well for one team? Well, that's usually what

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: happens in a football contest. Also, we played fantasy scout

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: players were keeping an eye on over the final weeks

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: of the season to see how their draft position on

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: a shake out for next year. Plus, there are still

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: nuggets to be gained by visiting the waiver wire. All

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: that and more on today's NFL Fantasy Live. How many

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,800

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: help you. This is interesting. Look, maybe you had a

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: bad beat. I know, Fabs, You've got a ton of

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: tweets from a lot of folks that had bad beats.

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: But check this one out. We did a little digging.

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: We found out if Eagles tight end Brent Sell it

20
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: hadn't slid down at the tent in the final seconds

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: of Sunday's game against the Lions, over twelve percent, well percent,

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: the NFL dot Com fantasy players who started Nick Foles

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: and lost would have won and advanced to the next

24
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: round and twiste. Yeah see, this is the kind of

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: stuff to make fantasy owners upset. Now in reality, players

26
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: love this. I mean, this is a kid's dream. You

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: go out there, play because slid. Yeah, but you know

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: this is hey, smart football. Play Let me play run out.

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: You don't want any your players to get hurt, maybe

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: on an instance. So twelve percent, if that was the

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: bad beat our condolences all right to the Munday nighter

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: out in the Windy City. That number eighty nine finally

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: getting retired at halftime for my kid, Tony Romo Matt

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: four to first quarter, Cowboys first possession, Romo hits wide

35
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: receiver des Brian fret Away, didn't seven nothing, cowboy's work

36
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: and cashes in second quarter. Now tide at seven, third

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: and goal four bes. Josh McCown keeps it himself, little

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: up helicopter right there, seven yard touchdown fourteen seven bears.

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: If you started McCown pole thirty nine fifty two, thirty

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: nine point five points, here you go. Cowboys ensuing possession

41
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: tight end Jason which the game not enough and went

42
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: forward and how about seventeen seconds left in the half

43
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: Bears on the Cowboys twenty five. You think you've seen

44
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: great receptions from al Sean Jeffrey all season, Well you have,

45
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: And here's another one. One of my favorite things about

46
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: this pass from McCown to Jeffrey on the replay, Brandon Marshall,

47
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: you can see him when when he watches Jeffrey secure

48
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: the catch, he looks right at his feet and then

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: you see a smile come across his face as he

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: realizes he's growing up the catch. And now watch his

51
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: head go down to the feet, like, oh yeah, there

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: they are, and I got bought. Al Sean Jeffrey, I mean,

53
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: just making a mess of fantasy teams going up against him. Here,

54
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: there's a big one right here for four twenty three

55
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: and a half points. We set it prior to the

56
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: season that Mark Tressman would be good for Matt Fote.

57
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: He certainly was. In the first week of the playoffs.

58
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: You see the total numbers there, Josh McCown three hundred

59
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: forty eight pass yards, five touchdowns, one rushing alshon Jeffrey

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: the eighty four yards in a TV. It felt good

61
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: about Brandon Marshall double digits there with the one hundred

62
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: yards for ten points, and even though he only threw

63
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: for a hundred and four yards, Tony Romo the three

64
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. You see it right here. Sixteen points. That's

65
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: not bad. Could have been a lot better. It's not terrible,

66
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: but if you think about it, the fact that this

67
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears defense is so bad that they had no

68
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: other option but to run the ball. Of course, to

69
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: Marco Murray, he capitalized on this bad front seven Tea.

70
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you saw a lot of the tweets

71
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: as well as I got a handful of them. Should

72
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: I start Josh McCown or Tony Romo Josh McConn or

73
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: Tony Romo and name brand? Of course you go Romo

74
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: against this Bears. The last week I had Acount ranked higher.

75
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: He was my seventh rand quarterback last week. But last

76
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: week I told people on this show start Josh McCown,

77
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: even over a guy like Russell Wilson, and I got

78
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: a little backlash. They went after you. They they're kind

79
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: of hiding right now. I haven't heard anything. Mcdown has

80
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: been one of the best quarterbacks in fantasy football. Did

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: you know over the last four weeks, this guy is

82
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: right up there at the top among quarterbacks and fantasy points.

83
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: He has been spectacular and he's going up against the

84
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: Browns this coming week. Obviously, we got to keep an

85
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: eye on this situation mccutler and with McCown because Mark

86
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: Tressman has said and McCown has said, once Jake Cutler

87
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: is healthy, he is the starting quarterback. It's like a

88
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: quarterback handcuff situation. One thing that it doesn't matter, Akbar.

89
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: One thing that doesn't matter is Alshan Jeffrey. You'll start

90
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: him whether it's Cutler or whether it's mccowny. It doesn't

91
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: matter what the temperature is. It doesn't that if they're

92
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: in the dome. It doesn't matter if Brandon Marshall, Jay Cutler,

93
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: Josh McCown, whatever those variables are. You play Alshon Jeffrey.

94
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey is making a case for himself now, especially

95
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: going for the two thousand fourteen. For thals of those

96
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: fantasy owners that are like me, they're sitting out now scouting.

97
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: This is a guy that you should be watching because

98
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: he has just risen up the draft board for two

99
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen. He's a stop. What about de Marco

100
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: Murray fads moving forward the rest of the playoffs. I

101
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: love him. He's playing the Packers this week. You want

102
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: to talk about the Bears can't stop the run, neither

103
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: can the Green Bay Packers. And you want to talk keepers.

104
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: To Marco Murray is making a case for being a

105
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: very solid keeper. He has stayed healthy this season for

106
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: the most part, and if you look at this kid's

107
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: numbers over the last four weeks, he has been spectacular.

108
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: A true featured back, the first good one since when

109
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: Emmett Smith in Dallas. I might say, oh, I gotta

110
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: go after Mary and Barbara the third like that man

111
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: run for a half second Tony Romo against the Packers

112
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: next week, again you see just a hundred past yards,

113
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: but the three touchdowns spread it around as well. Going

114
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: up against the Packers next week, I gotta believe you

115
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: feel good about starting to Well, here's the thing. I

116
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: think that when you look at what the way Mark

117
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: Treston is gonna handle this situation, they're gonna have a

118
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: little bit more of a balance attack going against the

119
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. They had to the game plan dictate

120
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: that you exploit this run defense, so they dialed up

121
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more run plays than they did passing plays.

122
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: So I think Tony Romo is a guy that you

123
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: still can have faith and confidence in playing him forward.

124
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: Now as soon as he puts up a stinker, one stinker,

125
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: you're done with him. Yeah, And you mentioned Mark Trustman,

126
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: and I know you meant Jason Garrett and Bill Callahan,

127
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: and that I think also hurts the dynamic a little

128
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: bit of the Cowboys. This who's calling the plays. You

129
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: see Jason Garrett with that card in his hand, you know,

130
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: you see Bill Callahan all animated up in that booth.

131
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: It's certainly not look fantasy versus reality. It's a little

132
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: disconcerting the way things are working in Dallas in reality.

133
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: If you're a Cowboys fan like me, you woke up

134
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: very sick. And if you're a Bears fan like me,

135
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: you know Bill Callahan is happy because he he made

136
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: his point to Jerry Jones exactly. Now, let's get you

137
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: caught up on all the latest news from around the league. Money,

138
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: thank you, we will give you the fantasy impact on

139
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: the latest news Adam Ran, Molly Carem here with you,

140
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: and we pick it up in Money's hometown of Chicago.

141
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: Despite the success of Bear's backup quarterback Josh McCown, Chicago

142
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: head code Mark Trussman says Jay Cutler is in no

143
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: danger of losing his starting job, so there's no change

144
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: in the plan. You know, we'll see what Jay is

145
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: this week. He'll be under you know, he'll have to

146
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: be released by the doctors, and when Jay is ready

147
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: to play, he'll be playing. Adam. With the way this

148
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: Bears offense is playing, are you all concerned about Cutler

149
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: returning to the lineup. Not too much, because Jay Cutler

150
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: was playing very well before he went out. The only

151
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: part that really troubled me is when he played in

152
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: that game against the Detroit Lones. I felt that if

153
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: the Bears had stuck with Josh McCown there, they would

154
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: have eaten the Lions in that game, would have probably

155
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: been in line to win the NFC North. So he's

156
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: so good. Mccount is so good that I would want

157
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: to see him continue to go out there and play.

158
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm just not sure that that's what Mark Tressing wants

159
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: to do. But they need to make sure that Jay

160
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Cutler is completely healthy before they put him out there.

161
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: But either way, both good options. When you have all

162
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: Shon Jeffery and you have Randon Marshal, Matt Forte, all

163
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: those big names, anybody's going to be successful. Moving on

164
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: here some Shannahan against more quarterback news in d C.

165
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: Coach Mike Shanahan says he will consider shutting down quarterback

166
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin the third now that they've been eliminated from

167
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: playoff contention. Take a listen, you got your franchise quarterback.

168
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: You want to make sure going into the off season

169
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: that he's healthy. Then he goes through a full off

170
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: season program. And that's why I didn't say he was

171
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: a starter. So that's just something to back on back

172
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: in my mind thinking about right now, and I'll let

173
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: you know in the next couple of days exactly what

174
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: I thought. Can you make sense of this for me?

175
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: If kirk Cousins is to play, does he have any

176
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: fantasy value? He would certainly this week of going up

177
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Falcons, who went into last week giving

178
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: up a ton of fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. So

179
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: kirk Cousins is shown in the past that he can

180
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: play very well when given the opportunity, and maybe the

181
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: Redskins want to take a chance to have Kirk Cousins

182
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: go out there and play, and you know what, they

183
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: gave up one of those draft picks of the St.

184
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: Louis Football Club, maybe trying to get one back. If

185
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: kirk Cousins goes out and plays really well, well, now

186
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: you have a bargaining chip for a team that needs

187
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback team like the Houston Texans, And also maybe

188
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of insurance for your fantasy team if

189
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: your starter is sitting the rest of the playoffs. Yeah,

190
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: if you get into a situation where if Aaron Rodgers

191
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: didn't come back, or if he didn't trust who you

192
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: have as a starter because of the batchups Kirk Cousins,

193
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: there will be some matches where you can play. NFL

194
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: media insider Ian rapp Report reports Adrian Peterson will not

195
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: need surgery on his sprain foot, though he is in

196
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: a precautionary walking boot. The Vikings will know more when

197
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: Peterson attempts to run later in the week. Adam, there's

198
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: a chance he plays this week, but if he doesn't go,

199
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: is Toby Gerhard the best replacement he certainly is. Of course,

200
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: he's had a little bit of a hamstring issue himself,

201
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: so you don't know how healthy he's gonna be. But

202
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: Gerhard is shown in the past and when he's given

203
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: the opportunity to play, he plays very well. All right,

204
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: here's some other fantasy news and notes we just want

205
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: to run through quickly. Get you guys caught up. Percy

206
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: Harvin dealing with that hip. He's still day to day.

207
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: Looks like we'll have more information on Wednesday. Reggie Bush

208
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: with the calf, also day to day. Aaron Rodgers, he's

209
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: going to be reevaluated on Wednesday. We'll get you the

210
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: late on that. In Jordan, Todmin will start if Maurice

211
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: Jones Drew cannot play on Sunday. Adam the big one,

212
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: of course being Aaron Rodgers, because if he returns and

213
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson, his value goes right back through the roof.

214
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: He was having such a fantastic year and you know,

215
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: if if he comes back, then you've got a guy

216
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 1: who you can ride through the playoffs the rest of

217
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: the way for sure. Adam, good stuff, Thank you for

233
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: this week the Coach of the Week Howners goes to

234
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: Fabs here because you made a gutsy move. You went

235
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: against a Colts defense that's been suspect all year long

236
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: to bypass Giovanni Bernard, and you started Shane Vreen, and

237
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: I was really freaking out about this. Do I start Bernard?

238
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: Do I start Vrene? I went with Vreen because he's

239
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: been the hotter player in this offense. And I love

240
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard, but a lot of times he's all or nothing.

241
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: And I knew Maverene was gonna see a lot of

242
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: the backfield touches just because this is a guy who

243
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots really trust as a pass catcher. And Ben

244
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: Jarvis green Ellis is still very much in the mix,

245
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati and we see Verreen, the guy is like

246
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: starting a wide receiver at running back. Let me tell

247
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: you when I saw that that pick with Varen, and

248
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: that thought, boy, I've got a chance to win here,

249
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: because when you look at Varen, he didn't really have

250
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: any data prior to the told you suggest that, yeah,

251
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: this is the better pick over Giovanni Bernard. Especially the

252
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: fact that that backfire was so alto. It could have

253
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: been Bolden, It could have been a Lagar blunt game.

254
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: It could have been you know, the brain game. It

255
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: ended up being him. If you knew since he was

256
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: going to do it through the air, you could have

257
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: let me know, because I would have started Andy Dollan

258
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: Bemis in the NFL am League. Who did you start?

259
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: Burned me again? We'll talk about the quarterback. Bernard is

260
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: a guy that I just have a lot of backfield

261
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: depth and a lot of guys with very similar value.

262
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm probably going to start Geo this week against the

263
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. He had two touchdowns against them earlier in

264
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: the year. Again, I just thought Verene was going to

265
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: see more guaranteed touches that he still put up a

266
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: big game against him. He had fourteen fantasy against them,

267
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: and I mean, with all the pub that he was

268
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: getting in reality and in fantasy, that to me was

269
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: the better pick. But as a coach, he made a

270
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: good move. You went with your gut. You went with

271
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: something that was good, and it was solid enough to

272
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: beat me. It was aggressive and it worked out. And

273
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: before we move on here, I just want to say

274
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: you were a casualty of injuries. Though. Yes I was

275
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: wel Reggie Bush, you had to put there. I didn't

276
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: have a chance, No, you didn't. Like I always say,

277
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, there's a lot of luck involved. Okay,

278
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: So for your quarterback, you have Tom Brady this week.

279
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: Can you start him against that Miami secondary on the road. Well,

280
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: I tell you this is another one. I'm gonna be

281
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: sweating this one. I'm playing at him rank this week,

282
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: and i gotta go Brady or I've got to go

283
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick. Now, Brady has not put up great numbers

284
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins in the past. He's been sort

285
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: of inconsistent, whereas Kaepernick has got a great match up

286
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay. I'd probably gonna go with Kaepernick if

287
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: he has said I had to start my lane up

288
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: right now, but I've got another four or five days

289
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: to make the final decision. I like Kaepernick this week.

290
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: The tam Bay Buccaneers are allowing an after right around

291
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: eighteen fantasy points per game the quarterbacks. Kaepernick is a

292
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: guy who's been inconsistent. He hasn't been as good as

293
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: we thought he was gonna be this season. But when

294
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: the matchup is right, Kaepernick can put up fantasy points.

295
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: You know, at bar, I may have to consult you

296
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: most decisions. Let me have helped me out here, Let

297
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: me help you. Said, Colin Kaepernick can't put up big numbers,

298
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: And that's the truth that we seem that atta Kala Kaepernick.

299
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: But when you look at the more consistent quarterback between

300
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: the two, it's been Tom Brady. He's giving you twenty

301
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: plus points in the last three weeks here, and I

302
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: know he doesn't have a ground kowski. But here's one

303
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: thing to remember about Tom Brady. It's getting close to

304
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and you know how he warms up towards

305
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Tom Brady's money. Kaepernick makes

306
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: me a little nervous too. I know you down played

307
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: in the meeting emotional wind cross country trip. We'll see.

308
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,280

Speaker 1: is back right after this. The weather in Week fourteen

459
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: wasn't kind of many players, and with the playoffs in

460
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: full gear, We'll take a look at which dudes on

461
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: the waiver wire you can pick up to bill the void.

462
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: Maybe you're out of the championship run, don't worry. He's

463
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: still much to learn, young Patawans. Yeah, that's right, Paddawans.

464
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: We'll tell you which players to keep an eye on

465
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: as the season winds down. Big points came from unexpected

466
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: places in Week fourteen. Should you chase the points? We'll

467
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: tell you which top performers you can trust as NFL

468
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live rolls on, Paddawans. That's right, our man Christian

469
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, pulling back the curtain. He likes him

470
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: some return of the Jedi. I don't know what events.

471
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: I didn't even know what it meant. I can't even

472
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: spit it out him, so discomboti Star Wars Wars, here's

473
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: the of course I do. But Jedi, come on, Jedi

474
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: is like six out of the six, all right? Maybe

475
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: fourth thought of the six? Here we got Adrian P.

476
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: Pterson says that he is going to play if he

477
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: is active. Do you start him this week? Really? Well?

478
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: You know what really? I mean? Look, the question is

479
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: is a legitimate question. Think about it. He's got a foots.

480
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: But listen, they're not in the playoff, right, I mean

481
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: they're done. I mean you mean to tell me that

482
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: you want to risk getting Adrian Peterson somehow and extending

483
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: this injury. This is something that you really got to watch.

484
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: You want to risk the same way. Listen, the same

485
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: way we had to watch that same thing with Reggie

486
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: Bush and his calf injury is the same thing you're

487
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to watch for Adrian Peterson. And I have

488
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: a hard time bench and Adrian Peterson rank you want

489
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: to break the tie there, boy, I am gonna have

490
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: to play him. I've gotten it. But in one league

491
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity for me to play him because I

492
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: have somebody like Bobby Rainey going and there is an

493
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: instance where I might switch it up at the last moment.

494
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: But for the most for the most part, you don't

495
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: have a great number of running backs to choose from,

496
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: and by the way, are are very only in Repports

497
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: says that there is still a chance that Adrian Peterson

498
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: will play. I do want to point out Akbar and

499
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: our experts league at Adrian Peterson, so you know, maybe

500
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: a little residual effects there's like I'll bet h Continuing

501
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: with our fantasy headlines, you take a look here Percy

502
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: Harvin still day today. Decision will be made Tomorrow Wednesday,

503
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: and that's up to you, fantasy owners, whether or not

504
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: you want to give him. Ago Reggie Bush day to

505
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: day thought he was gonna go against the Eagles, reaggravated

506
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: that calf in the pregame warm up portion going into

507
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: that Eagles contest. Aaron Rodgers again, another Wednesday reevaluation will

508
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: let you know whether or not he is going to start.

509
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: That certainly changes the value of Jordie Nelson, James Jones

510
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: and all of those in that Packers offense. Not to

511
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: mention todman Uh in place of Maurice Jones Drew who

512
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: we know for that hammy in the Thursday nighter against

513
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: the Texans. Here you go, injury recap flop for Peterson,

514
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: me for Jonathan Stewart, the calf of Reggie Bush and

515
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: the concussed Lamar Miller and Wes Welker. Bad news to

516
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: Rob Bronkowski, a c L and mc L. So he

517
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: will not be back until next year. So here we go,

518
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: waiver yer, waiver wire spit it Smith replacements for Robert Griffin,

519
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: the third at quarterback. Uh, you want to get a

520
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: start of their fabs, I do. Kirk Cousins would get

521
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: the start if r G three is declared inactive or

522
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: doesn't play because of this injury. Now Ryan Tabanehill would

523
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: be the first guy then to talk about. But if

524
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: you're really in a deep league, I like this matchup

525
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: for Kirk Cousins. The Atlanta Falcons have given up the

526
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: fourth most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and guys,

527
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: we have seen Kirk Cousins come in and play extremely

528
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: well when he's been given an opportunity. And listen, some

529
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: people out there might say, well, it's a real risk

530
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: to play a quarterback like Kirk Cousins in the second

531
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: week of the fantasy postseason. I say, no, it's not.

532
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: You've seen young quarterbacks put up big numbers all season long.

533
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: We saw Nick Boles come up and do it. We

534
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: saw I'm gonna go to Jason Campbell. Guys, I know

535
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: the Bears points allowed to quarterbacks isn't high. It's because

536
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: their run defense is so bad. But this is not

537
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson to Marco Murray, Eddie Lacy, those backs that

538
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: have strung together back to back to back to back

539
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: to back to back hundred yard games against the Bears defense.

540
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 1: You've talked about Ris Obanih, which is a nice uh

541
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: fill in, and I know you're gonna get to that

542
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: in a minute off bar, But Jason Campbell has put

543
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: up three d and three touchdowns versus the Pats, two

544
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: hundred sixty two yards three touchdowns against the Ravens, and

545
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: two hundred seventy three yards and two touchdowns against the

546
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. Those are pretty good defenses that he

547
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: did that damage too. Well. Yeah, I mean, you think

548
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: about the fact that we saw what Tony Romo had

549
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do to this defense for the Chicago Bears,

550
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: and is just too tempting when that defense is just

551
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: staring you right in the phase and saying abuse me.

552
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the running back position. We

553
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: already talked about the potential sideline for Adrian Peterson. Here's

554
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: some potential replacements. Toby Gerhardt rank, Yeah, you look at him.

555
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,239
Speaker 1: The only way that I would play him in your

556
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: lineup is if Adrian Peterson does not give it ago.

557
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: Because it's one thing to trust Adrian Peterson to be

558
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: like you know, and he might go he might not.

559
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: But Gerhardt it's a totally different animal. And but he

560
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: has shown in the past that when he has the

561
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to play, he plays very well. So if he

562
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: was gonna be the number one d all buy is lonesome,

563
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: then I would give him a start. So if it's

564
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: not the handcuff, the backup for Adrian Peterson, you have

565
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: to look elsewhere. Abar those four names up there, any

566
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: of them jump out at you, you got another play? Well, no,

567
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: it's Chris Obaniah for me. The fact that Willis mcgahey

568
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: took a shot to the head in the late in

569
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. So of course we know that the

570
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: NFL is very serious about you know, their concussion protocol.

571
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: But Chris Obaniah should be getting a lot of the

572
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: carries for the sense. Excuse me for the Cleveland Brown

573
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: and going up against the Chicago Bears, because they're the

574
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: worst right now in the league. A hundred and fifty

575
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: seven yards per game allowed this season. That is bad.

576
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 1: And I know that Obaniah is sitting there eating all

577
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: of the traditional mills, Fou Fou and Goosey Sup. Just

578
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: saying I can't wait to get a piece of the

579
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. Let's go to explain to you it's a

580
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: Nigerian thing. You wouldn't even understand them right before the segment,

581
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: and Lacy is out this week. James Starrs is a

582
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: top fifteen running back. Get him all right. Let's go

583
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver position and our wide receiver potential

584
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: waiver wire replacements for Wes Welker. That's a lot of

585
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: double us. You see the names there, Jericho Contree, Crabtree,

586
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman called Darryl Patterson Edelman fat? How about that one? Huh?

587
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: How is Edelman not owned in more leagues right now?

588
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: This guy is widely owned, and I don't get it.

589
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: He has been fantastic ten plus Fantasy points in each

590
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: of his last three games, and now Rob Gronkowski out

591
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: for the season, more opportunities in the passing game. Tom

592
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: Brady clearly trust this kid more than he trust Danny

593
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: Amendelar a lot of targets weekend and week out. How

594
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: has he not owned more offer? I don't get it.

595
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't get it. That's head scratching right there, head scratcher,

596
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: all right? Let's go to somebody else. Well, for me,

597
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: it's Jericho Contre. I mean, the Steeler's wide receiver right

598
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: now has been on fire. Really think about it. He's

599
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: continues to be Ben Roethlisberger's main to main guy to

600
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: go to in the red zone. He's got now nine

601
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the season and he's been that guy. So

602
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: if there's somebody that you want to overlook and think

603
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: about it, Ben Roethlisberg has been hot. So he's gonna

604
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: find Jericho Contree twelve receiving touchdowns in the last seven

605
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: ROLL games this season. I like Jericho Contre to fill

606
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: in for the Westwoker especially, you got burned like I did.

607
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: All Right, it's okay. Also for Darryl Patterson up there,

608
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to him a little bit later, but

609
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: also a viable option this week if you got to

610
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: replace Wes Welker to the tight ends and potential replacements

611
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: for Rob Gronkowski. You don't see any new England Patriots

612
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: up there. What you do see is a host of

613
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: other options. Ladarius Green in San Diego again fourth most

614
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: panis fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends this season.

615
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos but I'm gonna start with Dennis Pitta,

616
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: and certainly it's been a theme on this show, it

617
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: has been a theme in the preseason, and it's gonna

618
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: be a theme here in the Fantasy playoffs because Joe

619
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: Blaco having lost his favorite weapon in the off season

620
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: and Kwon Bolden really has been searching all season long.

621
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: It's not Tory Smith, it's you know, and it really

622
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: is Dennis Pitta that seems to be the safety valve

623
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: that he's looking for in the red zone when he

624
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: gets flushed out of the pocket when he has to

625
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: climb the pocket. And now that he's healthy, and we

626
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: saw Sunday he certainly is healthy. Got the targets, got

627
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: the receptions, got the touchdown, got the points. I'd feel

628
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: very comfortable playing him the remainder of the season, even

629
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: though the Baltimore Ravens matchups look a little bit tough

630
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: on paper, and those numbers are going to continue to improve.

631
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: And if you cannot get Dennis Pinna, I would recommend

632
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: you go out and get Chuck Clay, who had his

633
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: best game of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and

634
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: if you look at it, he's had at least ten targets.

635
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: In his last two games he scored at least eight

636
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: fantasy points and three of his last four games. And

637
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: this is a guy who can do so many different

638
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: things on the field for the Miami Dolphins. He's not

639
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: that traditional big tight end who's just out there as

640
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: a blocker, but he can do so much more. They

641
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: can let there's a reason why he wears that number

642
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: forty two. They can put him up all over the field.

643
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: And so this has been a valuable guy for Ryan Tannehill,

644
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: who has continued to progress in his second season. Fabs Akbar,

645
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: let's say both of those guys are available in the

646
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: waiver wire. You more comfortable with Pitta or Clay. For me,

647
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: it's Charles Clay. I love Charles Clay and the way

648
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: he plays. I mean, he's just a talented guy. Pitta

649
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: is the guy in the red zone for Joe Flacco.

650
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: He was a hero in the postseason last year, comes

651
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: right out of the gate and has a big fantasy game.

652
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: I just love the One reason why I would just

653
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: disagree with that just because obviously Pitter is just now

654
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: getting back into the swing of it. Charles Clay has

655
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: been there. He's been evolving, and he has a little

656
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: bit more versatility because they can utilize them in different

657
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 1: areas and in their passing shows. I have the match

658
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: up as well. You gotta think about with Baltimore down

659
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: the stretch and what they have to deal with another

660
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: tight end to look out for Delaney Walker if he's

661
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: able to come back this week against Arizona. Oh man,

662
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: that's a great matchup. I guess the point is, even

663
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: if you think maybe your fantasy playoff run came to

664
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: an end because of an injury, there are still viable options,

665
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: believe it or not, right now available to you on

666
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, and getting the right lineup has never

667
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: been more important with the playoffs in full swing. We

668
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: will answer some of your most pressing questions next on

669
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. We made a list and we checked

670
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: it twice, and now we're going to discuss some of

671
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: the most asked about players coming up out of Week fourteen.

672
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: And Michael Fabian, don't we begin with you. You're asked

673
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: this on Twitter. Is Roddy White a safe flex play

674
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: in the playoffs? He has really started to re emerge

675
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 1: as the guy that we've known over the last several seasons,

676
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: especially in a PPR league, He's been very, very good.

677
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: And yes, I do think Roddy White is now back

678
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: to being a flex starter. I don't know if I

679
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: trust him Adam as a one or two at the

680
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: wider seaver position, as a three or a flex absolutely

681
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: in standard leagues. He's really starting to recover from that

682
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: injury that had hampered him for the pretty much the

683
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: entire season. But now he's playing really well and he's

684
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: a guy you gotta get into your line. It is

685
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: Washington this week, so great match and very good match.

686
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: Moving on, Adam Rank, would you drop Bobby Rainey for

687
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: Shane Vereen. Both these guys have potential to winning your matchup.

688
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: That's tough. I really like this league that he's in

689
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: where Shane very it is still available on his waiver

690
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: wire that has this kind of options. But Shane Veren

691
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: is a better player than Bobby Rainy. Yes, I would

692
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: rather have Shane Vereen this week going over Bobby Rainy,

693
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: but I would not discount what Bobby has done over

694
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. He's been very consistent and

695
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: I understand the matchup against San Francisco forty Niners will

696
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: be a little bit more difficult this week, but not

697
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: enough to keep me from playing him. He still emerges

698
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: kind of a flex option out there. He's playing so well.

699
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: He's one of those rare guys who get the majority

700
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: of the carries each and every week. And I like

701
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: that about him. And he's gonna have a good game

702
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: against if you. If there was one way to attack

703
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners and the Seattle Seahawk showed this.

704
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: He just run at him. As good as they are,

705
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: you can actually run on that team. Moving on here,

706
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: this one to you, fabs. Is it okay to keep

707
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: Dennis pit A for the playoffs? If the answer is no,

708
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: tell me a good free agent please. He looked like

709
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. Safety. Dennis Pitta is a talented tight end.

710
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: Last year he was seven in Fantasy points at the position,

711
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: and people forget it's sort of out of sight, out

712
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: of mind. He was a postseason hero for that team

713
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: on their under the Super Bowl and an eventual championship.

714
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: He comes back and I was dead wrong. I said Stasher,

715
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: but don't play him. He did not see a limitation

716
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: in snaps. He had a very solid game. Double legit

717
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: fantasy points scored a touchdown. And what I like most

718
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: about Pitt Joe Flacco loves throwing him the football in

719
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: the red zone. He loves it. Dennis Pitter will be

720
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: a top ten fantasy tight end in Week fifteen and

721
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: week sixty. Target at him. Yeah. And one of the

722
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: reasons we really liked him coming into this season was

723
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: with an Kwan Bolden now going to San Francisco, Dennis

724
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: Pitter was going to slide into be that safety valve

725
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: near the goal line, which is he's shown in just

726
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: one week. But he's the guy who's gonna be now

727
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: Kaepernick safety blanket. Okay, Adam, this is for you. I'm

728
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: officially finished with Spiller hashtag for me once. Shame on you.

729
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: I almost like that almost the story of my life.

730
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: I almost blocked this person if they would have said,

731
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm starting CJ, You're gone. You're dead to me, because

732
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: you know what in fantasy Spiller is, he's that guy

733
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: who ruins your He's like the guy who comes to

734
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: the holiday party and ruins it for you. He gets

735
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: all out of control. You think he's a cool guy,

736
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: but then he gets there, he gets he gets a

737
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: couple of Belts and him, and then he's ruining your

738
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: fantasy team. As you see right there, he scored just

739
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: one touchdown in his last seven games, and everybody's like

740
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: when but he had one called back last year. Those

741
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: don't count that. You don't get fantasy points for the

742
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: ones that are called back. So he had nothing for

743
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 1: you last week. Keep this guy on the bench, don't

744
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: even have him on you don't even I don't even

745
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: want to see him. And because Week thirteen he lit

746
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: it up, and then week fourteen, you can't mind. Jacksonville's

747
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: defense against the run over the last four weeks has

748
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: been really good. So you see that matchup against the

749
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: jackson you're like, oh, I'm gonna start t J. Spiller

750
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: not so fast? This next one? Here fast? What's up

751
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: with t Y Hilton? Will he bounce back? Now? What's

752
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: up with t Y Hilton? That's what I want to

753
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: know too, because I've had starting him in the last

754
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and he's done nothing positive. Note here,

755
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: He's got a good matchup this week against the Houston Texans.

756
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: Now on paper doesn't look great, but the last time

757
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: he played Houston, he had a couple of touchdowns and

758
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: he has five and three career games against Houston. Now,

759
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: last year it was Derek Rodgers who had a big

760
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: game levon Brazil. But listen, I'm not touching those guys

761
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: with a ten foot poll in the fantasy postseason, I

762
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: still start Hilton. I think he's more of a low

763
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: end two or a high end three. But Andrew Luck

764
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: has got to re establish the connection with Hilton. He's

765
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: also been better on turf that he has been on

766
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: the grass, too, So I still have faith in Hilton,

767
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: not as a one, maybe as a low end two,

768
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: but he strikes me as one of those complimentary players.

769
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: He's great when Reggie Wayne's out there getting the focus

770
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: of the defense, but when he's a guy who's asked

771
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: to go out and care, it's kind of like when

772
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: Devin Hester was a receiver. He's it's not the way

773
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: he Heardever, he had two really good games after Wayne

774
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: got hurt, and then his numbers right now, the defensive

775
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: coordinators have been able to look at that offense and

776
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: see what the Cults are going to try to do

777
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: with him, and they've been able to game plan against it.

778
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: And now the teams are starting to game plan against

779
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton. He's just a non fact. Yeah, and

780
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: just seventeen catches in his last four games to back

781
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: up that point. They're all right, moving on here, Derreck Rogers.

782
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 1: Is he for real? Now that t Y Hilton isn't

783
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: really getting it done, it's hard to play it. It's

784
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: it's one of those situations where you'd be chasing fantasy points. Now.

785
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: One of these guys in Indianapolis is going to re

786
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: establish himself as the top guy. And this is somebody

787
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: might be looking for for next year. But when it's

788
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: in the fantasy playoffs, I'm not gonna trust him. I'm

789
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: not gonna trust Brazil. These are guys that just keep

790
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: an eye on, see what they do, and then maybe

791
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: next year when you're going through your fantasy draft looking

792
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: for some sleepers, they could be guys who can pick

793
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: up an ant. Then, yeah, favorable matchup Sunday against the Texans,

794
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 1: but we're not expecting to eat TD. You just and

795
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: trust guys like this in the second week of your

796
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: fantasy postseason or the first week eight all right, I'll

797
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: give it a shot, but not in week now when

798
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: the pressure is on do or diet. Okay, this one

799
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: for you. Fabs. What do you suggest in your fantasy

800
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: football super Bowl? If your studs like Peyton Wilson when

801
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: coaches rest them before the playoffs, well, stay educated. Make

802
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: sure you're seeing hey is John Fox saying he's taking

803
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: arresting his starters? Is he not? Is that not a

804
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: concern that we have to really worry about. But also

805
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: be smart and make decisions off the waiver wire to

806
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: back yourself up. If Russell Wilson's your quarterback or Payton

807
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: your quarterback, make sure you have a solid backup in

808
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: case of a worst case scenario. Because there are some

809
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: matchups you can look at it right now. You don't

810
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,479
Speaker 1: have to wait and pick up guys off the waiver

811
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: wire for week sixteen. That week, go ahead and pick

812
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: them up now. Be confident in your team and make

813
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: sure that you have a backup plan in case these

814
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: guys are arrested for the Patriots, right for the Saints

815
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: to keep it interesting, so these guys have to keep

816
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 1: playing for him. It's all still close. It's all close,

817
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: and you've put up a good point. How do you

818
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: stay educated? Maybe watch one of there's a website called

819
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: NFL dot com. I heard this pretty good lash Fantasy

820
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: I would check that out as well. Also some columns

821
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: written by some talented men. All right or not, there's

822
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: always more to learn. We're talking to the top players

823
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: you should be scouting in prep for championship run. When

824
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live returns Thursday, it's an a s C West

Speaker 1: It is never too early to start your preparation for

829
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: two thousand fourteen, and we are going to tell you

830
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: where to start. Maybe it's a keeper league. Maybe it's

831
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: just prepping for the draft next year because the playoffs

832
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: didn't work out so well. I'm prepping for the draft

833
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: job for We still love you, alright. These some of

834
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: our top players to watch as the two thousand thirteen

835
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: season winds down. FABS, give us one and give us

836
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: an idea of what we're looking for with the player

837
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: I want to talk about. Bent Bentate has seen the

838
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: featured role for the Houston Texans this year because Arian

839
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 1: Foster has been out, but he's a free agent coming

840
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: up and I really think he is gonna end up

841
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: leaving the Houston Texans and maybe going to Cleveland brown

842
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: So I want to see his durability. I want to

843
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: see if he can continue to carry the football and

844
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: carry the load be a featured back at the National

845
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: Football League level. And I also want to see what

846
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: he can do in terms of catching the football out

847
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: of the backfield. Again, I think this is going to

848
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: be a very good fit for the Cleveland Browns, who

849
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: don't have a running back. Michael Lombardi love Bent and

850
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: Tate coming out of Auburn. This is a guy who

851
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: could end up being a more valuable keeper than you

852
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: think because of that potential featured role with a new team.

853
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: All Right, Fads, I'm gonna stick with the running back

854
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: position and go to a split carry situation in Arizona.

855
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: Richard menden Hall Andre Ellington. The thing about Ellington, though,

856
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: is he's been wildly productive and wildly more productive than

857
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: Richard menden Hall. So three things I'm looking for. You

858
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: mentioned with Bent durability, and that's because he's missed time

859
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: this year. He's slight, He's not the biggest back, and

860
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: that's why a lot of people think he'll always be

861
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: in kind of that third down or split carry role. Also,

862
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,479
Speaker 1: he's got a game against the Seahawks Week six team,

863
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: And remember when you're drafting someone, think about their division,

864
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: especially a running back going four times against the Niners

865
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks. Let's see if Bruce arians likes to

866
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: use him out of the backfield catching a lot of passes,

867
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: and also want to keep an eye on touches versus

868
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: menden Hall. Is it going to continue to be a

869
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: split carry situation? Or because menden Hall first in the

870
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: league on ten plus carry's twenty two percent of the

871
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: time when he touches that ball, is he going to

872
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: continue to get more and more touches as the season progresses,

873
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: and that in turn, like this could be another Giovanni

874
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: Bernard situation. You have Ben Jarvis Greenelli's getting touches and touchdowns,

875
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: but Bernard's still wildly productive. I see and envision the

876
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: same sort of thing for Andre Alington. Well, you know

877
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: one guy I'm looking at is Cordarrell Patterson. Cordell Paterson's

878
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: the situation is a prime situation when you think about

879
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: the fact that he's playing for the Minnesota Vikings, and

880
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 1: they don't really have and it whide was eiver and

881
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: they don't have to have an it quarterback. So you

882
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: look at that situation that they can get that quarterback

883
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: situation of ironed out. Then all of a sudden, now

884
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: they have this wide receiver situation. He can be that

885
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver. Think about it. The three things

886
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking as can he get the target the last

887
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: next couple of games here I want to see, especially

888
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia, will he get the targets? And that means

889
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: that the offensive line, the offensive coordinator, everybody is in

890
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: single making him the guy. And then route diversity, which

891
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: areas can he line up and can he line up

892
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: at your ex position? Can you line up at the

893
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: slot and make position plays like he did right here

894
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: out of a screen making a little screen play right

895
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: here and showing that he does. He's very good at

896
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: catching the ball at the point of attack and being

897
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: physical off the line of scrimmage. So he's got to

898
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: be able to make plays from the line of scrimmage.

899
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: And that's against press coverage. All Right, two rookies and

900
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: a player that's perhaps given an opportunity to shine in

901
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: a feature role. How about you rank where we're going.

902
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta keep an eye on these veterans. And

903
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a look at Tom Brady and what

904
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: he's got left going on to the rest of the season.

905
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: I have him in a keeper league, and I have

906
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: a decision to make because it could be very possible

907
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: that he's without Rob Gronkowski next season. And where is

908
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: he going to look for his targets? Who is he

909
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: gonna be targeting as we go down the stretch. Is

910
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: it gonna be Julian Edelman, Is it gonna be Danny Amendola.

911
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: Who is he gonna go for? And more importantly, what

912
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: do they do in the red zone? Is this a

913
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: Shane Vereen takes the ball? There's Lagarrett Blunt take the ball.

914
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be the guy who's going to be counted
