1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Wow, everybody, It's Wednesday, October thirtieth, twenty twenty four. Welcome

2
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, where we've accepted the

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: idea of the family costume. Your man, MG. Marcus Grant,

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: joyed by Michael Florio and Lakwan Jones. I know Halloween

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: is here. Any what have you figured out your costume

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: for this year? Yeah?

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: I went to a party on Saturday and we went

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: costume shopping on Saturday morning. Bad decision, don't do that,

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: So me and my wife ended up going as I

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 2: was a red solo.

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: Cup and she was a pongball. Okay, all right, all right, Lakwan,

12
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: any ideas of what you are dressing up as?

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 3: If anything, I'm doing a deep cut where you know,

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 3: I'm a man eating shark, but I'm gonna go find

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: like a basically like a swimming diving gear and b

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: Samuel Jackson from Deep Blue Sea when he get seen

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: by the track.

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: That is a deep cut. But I look forward to

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: seeing photos. Does that go with your family or is

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: this just like you're yes, No, I.

21
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: Went rogue because they were no costumes left, so I

22
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: kind of was on your God.

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: As for me, I'll be wearing a onesie. I'm going

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: to be Tigger. We're doing a whole winning the pood things,

25
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna be in a big tiger outfit.

26
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: It looks warm.

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: That's the best thing I got to say about it.

28
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: So anyway, we got a lot to do on the

29
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: show today. We're gonna preview the week nine Slate also

30
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: give you some fantasy hot takes, as we always do,

31
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: but let's start with some fantasy headlines. There was a

32
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: lot of movement happening earlier in the week. The trades

33
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: continue around the NFL, the Carolina Panthers moving on from

34
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson. They just get him in the offseason. Now

35
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: they ship him over to Baltimore and basically a pick

36
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: swap between the Panthers and the Ravens. So, I mean, look, Florida,

37
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: we all love Deontay Johnson. He's like your favorite fantasy analysts,

38
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: favorite wide receiver. He is now in Baltimore. What does

39
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: this mean for Johnson and the Ravens offense. It means good.

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: Things for Lamar Jackson, who gets another weapon at his disposal.

41
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: He could continue to spread.

42
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: The ball around.

43
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: I don't love it for the individual pass catchers though,

44
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: because Jay Flowers and Rashan Bateman were already there and

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: there's talks that they might remain the top two options.

46
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: Who knows.

47
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: I think if you trade for Deontay Johnson, you have

48
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 2: plans of getting him involved there, but then there's two

49
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: tight ends. This puts Look, this is the now on

50
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: the coffin for Isaiah Likely's fantasy value. I would say,

51
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: but like Mark Andrews, now becomes a lot.

52
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: More touchdown dependent.

53
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: I think you could still start him. Flowers and Zaiya

54
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: and Deontay Johnson, I think are probably in that wide

55
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: receiver three or flex range until we see otherwise. Because

56
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: I do believe that Deontay Johnson, who gets open at

57
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 2: a very high rate, is going to see targets. I

58
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna get him just to make him

59
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 2: a backup option or.

60
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: Something like, Oh, Isaiah Likely, we'll always have week one.

61
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: On the other side of things, Lakwan, what does this

62
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: mean for the Carolina Panthers offense.

63
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: Well, they do lose, you know, an Alfa wide receiver

64
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: out of their offense, but they still have some young

65
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: talent over. I mean, you guys, Xavier really get and

66
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 3: then you have Jalen Coker, who's been buzzing on anasty

67
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: streets you know, the last twenty four hours. But the

68
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 3: only problem is that this is not a great offense

69
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: that the proline Panthers have put together. I mean, I'm

70
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 3: really worried about, you know, going out there and being

71
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: bullish on the Jalen Koker, who's still you know, is

72
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: trying to find his way into these offense. But he

73
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: did look good with Bryce Young connecting with him, and

74
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: we did get news that Bryce Young it's going to

75
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: be starting this week, so hopefully they can build some

76
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 3: chemistry there. But it's going to always worry me of

77
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: having any of these guys in my starting lineups. You know,

78
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: with Bryce Sjung at quarterback, just based on there's not

79
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: really much touchdown upside. There's not much upside in the

80
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: passing offense. And then you know you have Chuba Hubber,

81
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: who's a productive running back and be able to get

82
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: the things done, but we have not seen him shine

83
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: with Bryce Young back there at the starting quarterback position.

84
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: Went back and watched a lot of that game last

85
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: week for the Panthers against the Broncos, and man, it's

86
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: just they're struggling to get guys open. Some of it

87
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: obviously has to do with the defense they were playing,

88
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: but man, you's just just not a lot of open

89
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: receivers in that passing game for Bryce Young. Speaking of

90
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who have been having their struggles, Anthony Richardson now

91
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: going to the bench for the Indianapolis Colts. Joe Flacco

92
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: named the starter for the foreseeable future. Look, Florio, I

93
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: don't know for starting Joe Flacco, but we're super excited

94
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: about the Colts wide receivers start them all, right, Like

95
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: even Alec Pierce at this point, not Alex Oh.

96
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alec Pierce still remains just very boom or bust.

97
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: I think Josh Downs is the biggest winner here. I

98
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: think Michael Piman Junior is a win. You know, Michael

99
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: Piman Junior has played three games with Joe Flacco, double

100
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: digit Fantasy points in all three, even though one of

101
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: them a lot of the production came from Anthony Richardson

102
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: before he got hurt. In five full games with Anthony Richardson,

103
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: single digits in every single one of those games, I

104
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: think Flaco is a better fit for the style of

105
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: offense they are trying to play the you know, like

106
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: be accurate and we'll pick up yardage short and slowly

107
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: move our way down the field, which is not what

108
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson is built for.

109
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: I have a lot of thoughts on the benching of

110
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, but that is for a different time. Yeah,

111
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: it's for a different time and a different show. I know.

112
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: The internet was a buzz with thoughts on how this

113
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: benching was going to other issues in the AFC south

114
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: over to Houston Stefan Diggs when they torn ACL he

115
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: is going to be at for the remainder of the

116
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty fourth season, LaQuan. It has not been a

117
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: great fantasy year for CJ. Stroud. Now he's gonna be

118
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: without Stefan Diggs for the rest of the year. He's

119
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: with me without Nico Collins for at least one more week.

120
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: How much are you downgrading Stroud now? A lot?

121
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 3: Now? Man, losing Diggs was like the nail and the

122
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 3: call for me for CJ. Stroud to have upside every

123
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: single week. I mean, look, you lost Joe Mixon early

124
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: in the season. He comes back, it's great that he's back.

125
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: Then you lose Nico Collins and now you lose Stefon Diggs.

126
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: I don't know if all that weight can be put

127
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: on Tank Dell to make CJ. Stroud back to that

128
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 3: fantasy QB one that we know he can be. It's

129
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: just that too many nicks and dings to this offense

130
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: where I don't think that he's going to go out

131
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 3: there and light it up like we know he can.

132
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, losing Stefan Diggs was heartbreaking for me

133
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: because man wide, receivers are dropping like flies. But you're

134
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: taking a hit at c J. Stroud when he's most

135
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 3: likely your best quarterback on your roster right now.

136
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, one of the things with CJ.

137
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: Stroud is air yards. He was a big air yards guy.

138
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: Last year. He was taking shots downfield, averaging about two

139
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: fewer air yards per attempt this year versus last year.

140
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: Now he's lost the two guys, at least temporarily, the

141
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: two guys who were the top targets. I mean about

142
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the targets were funneled through Collins and Diggs.

143
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: Now we know no Digs the remainder of the season.

144
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's a good player, but there's

145
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: only so much he can do with the guys that

146
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: he's going to be left to work with for the

147
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: next future. Let's get to our Week nine previews. Two

148
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: teams on by the Steelers and forty nine Ers get

149
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: the week off. So definitely some pieces, especially wide receiver

150
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: tight end, missing for a lot of fantasy managers this week.

151
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: But we'll start with Thursday night preview. We mentioned CJ.

152
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: Stroud the Texans heading to Metlive Stadium to take on

153
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: the Jets. You can see that eight to fifteen pm

154
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: Eastern on Amazon Prime Florio. Look, it has not been

155
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: great for the Jets offense. They went out and they

156
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: added DeVante Adams, still hasn't really improved. Do you still

157
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: believe in the combination of Adams and Garrett Wilson.

158
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're so uber talented. But and I spoke

159
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: about this on Fantasy Live a bit as well. I

160
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: really love it for Garrett Wilson because we are now

161
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: seeing him play in a role that I think is

162
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: great for fantasy purposes, because like, just look at what

163
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: the Patriots in the two games against them. In the

164
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: first game, eighty three percent of his snaps Christian Gonzalez

165
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: was just shadowing him. This past week when they played

166
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: two snaps, he was on him. So we are seeing

167
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: DeVante take away that defensive attention. It is allowing Garrett

168
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: Wilson to move out wide and in the slot, and

169
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: I think it is going to lead maybe not as

170
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 2: much volume, but a lot more efficiency and just better

171
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: fantasy results than we were getting early in the season.

172
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: And DeVante, look, I think you have to practice patients here, right.

173
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: I know he knows the quarterback, but it is a

174
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: new offense, it is a.

175
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: New team all of that.

176
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: The more games that they get to play together, the

177
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: more I think we will see him look like Davante Adams.

178
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: I just have this feeling and this is just as

179
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: no stats vibes that this is gonna be a Devonte

180
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Adams game that you know, last week he had Aaron

181
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: Rodgers out here talking to you know, like, I don't know,

182
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: channeling bane like I've been in the darkness, You've just

183
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: adopted it or whatever. This just feels like a game

184
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: where he just tries to force feed Devonte like fifteen

185
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: targets and then if they win, he's gonna say something

186
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: snarky after the game. I have no actual war and

187
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: dark I have no stats to back this up. It's

188
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: just a feeling I have about the Jets this week.

189
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: Uh Lakwhan Rams at the Seahawks. A big game for

190
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: both these teams. Everybody in the NFC West sitting on

191
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: four losses right now, so it's still incredibly wide open.

192
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: But the Rams look like they're getting hot at the

193
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: right time. I'm gonna ask you about running backs though,

194
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: which of the two kws do you want this week?

195
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: Kyron Williams or Kenneth Walker. Try to be Try to

196
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: be objective, please, sir. I will not We're going man.

197
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This dude only

198
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: knows the end zone. Man.

199
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: Eight touchdowns so far this season. I understand that.

200
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: You know.

201
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: kW. On the other side, Kenneth Walker has been productive,

202
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: but they cannot figure out if they want to run

203
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 3: the ball or throw the ball. It's back and forth, man.

204
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: But I love watching this Seahawks offense fall apart. It's

205
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: like watching a very good show for the first time,

206
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: Like the Office. Their sniff snap, snip, snap, back and forth.

207
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: They want to run the ball or not if they

208
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: want to use him. So therefore, I'm going to go

209
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: with what's been consistent in this run game, and it's

210
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 3: been Kien Williams finding the end zone being involved, sprinkled

211
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: in the passing game as well, and this Rams offense

212
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 3: is near good health. We are the most dangerous team

213
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 3: out the West, and we already know how Matthew Stafford

214
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: is going to go out there and put them in

215
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: the end zone as well.

216
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: I think you said you're watching a good TV show.

217
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: I thought you could say one that fell apart, so

218
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna talk like, you know, Dexter was

219
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: great at the start and by the end we're all like, Okay,

220
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: that's no.

221
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: It's like I love watching them fall apart. It's like

222
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: watching your favorite, you know, TV show.

223
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: Got it all right, entertaining, all right, I see, I see,

224
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: I see how you're going there? All right? Lions at

225
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: the Packers. The other big divisional matchup, this one in

226
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: the NFC North. Looking more and more like Jordan Love's

227
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: not going to be available for this one. It was

228
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: Malik Willis taking the QB one snaps on Wednesday. So Florio,

229
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 1: can you start a Packers receiver without Jordan Love on

230
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: the field.

231
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 2: I don't think so, not ideally, at least maybe if

232
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: you're in a pinch or something like that, which the

233
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: timing couldn't be worse, because this is a fantastic matchup

234
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: for the Packers. Receivers lines struggle against slot receivers. That's

235
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: where Jayden Reid operates. They play a lot of man

236
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: Romeo Dobbs has been their man coverage beater this year,

237
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: but Malik Willison is two. He started three games, well,

238
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 2: two starts, one touchdown, passing each one hundred and twenty

239
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: two yards and one two hundred and two in the other.

240
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: There's four wide receivers and a tight end vying for targets,

241
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: so just not enough production to go around. And I

242
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: can't tell you with any sort of confidence like this

243
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: is the guy they're going to go to if you

244
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: have to start him. Reid is my favorite, followed by

245
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: Dobbs this week, but yeah, I don't love them.

246
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was trying to try to figure out how

247
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: to make Romeo Dobbs a sleeper and put him in

248
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: the column this week, and I just I can't. I

249
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: couldn't really figure out a good argument for it because

250
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: there's just so much inconsistency there, especially if it's not

251
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Love one. It's hard enough with Jordan Love on

252
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: the field to figure it out. Without Jordan Love, it

253
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: feels nearly impossible to try to decipher Dolphins at the Bills.

254
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: I should have let Florio talk about this one st

255
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: that you talk about the Rams. In fact, you know what,

256
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna switch it up and I'm gonna change

257
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: this anyway. So Dolphins at the Bills, Florio, you have

258
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: said repeatedly on this show that how the secondary is

259
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: the strongest part of this Bill's defense. It's hard to

260
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: throw on them. Two is back. We were super excited

261
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: about what that means, but it didn't really mean a

262
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: lot for Jalen Wattle. How much do you need to

263
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: see something from Waddle this week? If you want to

264
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: keep starting him.

265
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: I think you really need to see something out of him.

266
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: And then when they played in Week two, and remember

267
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: I know two, that's the game where Tua got hurt,

268
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: but that happened late in the game, he had four targets,

269
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: four catches, forty one yards, and you look at his

270
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 2: game log. Week one was lovely one hundred and nine

271
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 2: yards five catches. All that he is fewer than fifty

272
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: yards in every game since week one. He has two

273
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: games three games all year with more than five targets.

274
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: Like Wattle is not a mustard option. He is far

275
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: from that. In fact, I think he's more like a

276
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: wide receiver three flex. We know the upside that he

277
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 2: brings every week. That is what's keeping him in play,

278
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: because nothing he has done from week two on would

279
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: make you want to start this guy.

280
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: In this matchup. And I keep saying we like the

281
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: idea of Tua in fantasy more than the reality of Tua,

282
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: and I think you're starting to see that spread itself

283
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: around Tyreek Hill. We're still okay with Jalen Wattle needs

284
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: to actually, I think, perform before we can start to

285
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: trust him again.

286
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 3: All right, ben Roe benchro.

287
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: There it is Cowboys at Falcons, Lakwan, Can we actually

288
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: keep starting Dak Prescott at this point?

289
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't be looking to start him this week

290
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: if I can get away from my wood And it's

291
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: honestly looking at this whole offense as a hole for

292
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: the Cowboys. They don't really have a run game to

293
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: support this offense. To take the pressure off for Dak

294
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: to go out there and try to play hero ball.

295
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: I mean Honestly, this Falcons defense, they haven't been really

296
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: you know, allowing much fantasy points to the quarterbacks. To

297
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: his position. Only Hurts and Bakers were able to put

298
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: up twenty plus fantasy points, and a lot of that

299
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 3: was supported by having a strong run game. This Cowboys

300
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: offense is ranked dead last when it comes to rushing

301
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: yards per game. They're not on the positive side of

302
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 3: having a productive offense. And this Falcons defense they pretty scary,

303
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: you know, every other week. But I feel like this

304
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: may be the game that you want to sit Dak

305
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 3: Prescott just based on the lack of production of this

306
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: Cowboys offense.

307
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the Cowboys offense right now. It's short

308
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: run to Dalvin Crookerrico dawdle uh, throw a CD Lamb,

309
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: throw to CD Lamb, maybe convert the first down or not,

310
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: and then punt. I mean that's pretty much it's it's

311
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: throw a CD Lamb, throw to Cede Lamb, maybe throw

312
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: to someone else. But that's kind of the whole Cowboy offense.

313
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: Time to talk about some sleepers for the week, LQ.

314
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: Who you got.

315
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to Denver with de von Vley. He's a

316
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 3: huge sleeper for me this week just based on the

317
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: Ravens defense, they allowed the highest pass EPA to wide

318
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: receivers line up in the slot, and that's primarily where

319
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: Veyle plays. And look, their Ravens defense are allowing a

320
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 3: lot of completion percentage tds and yards per tenth when

321
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 3: it comes to wide receivers in the slot. And look,

322
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 3: he's come along as bo Nicks' most reliable target, I

323
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: mean Josh Reynolds on IR now. So he steps up

324
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: as a guy that could potentially play a huge role

325
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: in this game because we know we could pass. On

326
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 3: the Ravens defense, they have allowed the most completions of

327
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: twenty plus yards as well, and he's creating a lot

328
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: of separation in the high rate and bo Nick's completing

329
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 3: eighty percent of his passes towards him, So he's giving

330
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: off huge sleeper vibes this week.

331
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: All right, So dvn vele, I get to know that name.

332
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: When we said a whole lot this year, who's your

333
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: sleeper this week? Florio, I like.

334
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: Bo Knicks, who I'm not sure if he even I'm sorry,

335
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: that's the next question I like get in this one.

336
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: Who is a sleeper?

337
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: And I know we touched on the Panthers a little bit,

338
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: but no Deontay Johnson there anymore. Someone is going to

339
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: have to catch the ball, and I think they're for

340
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: round wide receiver is one that not only is their

341
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: best pass catcher and who should step up, but I

342
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: believe the Panthers have incentive to try to prioritize and

343
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: get him the ball as much as possible.

344
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: So while he is not someone that I think you need.

345
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: To like plug into your lineups with confidence or anything

346
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: like that, he is someone that I want on my

347
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: roster because he brings upside the rest of the way.

348
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: And look, I always.

349
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: Love watching a young quarterback and wide receiver kind of

350
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: build chemistry together. I'm hopeful that that could happen in

351
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: Carolina with Bryce Young and leeget.

352
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: I certainly hope. So I also kind of like Jalen

353
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Cocher as a deep sleeper this week for the Carolina Panthers. Meanwhile,

354
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: on the other side of things, I like Derek Carr

355
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: with some sleeper vibes this week. He is expected to

356
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: be back for the New Orleans Saints after missing a

357
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: couple of weeks with an oblique injury. Couldn't come at

358
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: a better time for the Saints. They have been struggling

359
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: offensively since those first two weeks of the year. They

360
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: have had ten points or fewer in back to back games.

361
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: They've had fewer than fourteen points several times over the

362
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: last six weeks or so. Look the card not necessarily

363
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: a guy who's going to light it up in terms

364
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: of overall passing yardage, but should be able to get

365
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: in the end zone a few times against a Carolina

366
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: defense that started bad has been bad all year long.

367
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: These teams played earlier in the season, and Carr had

368
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,119
Speaker 1: over twenty fantasy points in that one through three touchdowns.

369
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: I think he can do something similar again this week.

370
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: All Right, we still have a few more games to

371
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: get through, plus some hot starts and some hot takes

372
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: as well. That's coming up after the break. Here on

373
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show, it's time to see who

374
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: will deliver. Presented by Uber Eats. These are the guys

375
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: that we think are going to eat this weekend and

376
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: who you like this week Lakwan.

377
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: The aras pointe enough for lad McConkey Man. I love

378
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: the adjustments that the charges made out of the buy

379
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 3: because honestly, the pass increase game. The game has been wonderful. Man.

380
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: They went from the first four games of averaging twenty

381
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: two pass attens for a game. Coming out of the buy,

382
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 3: they're up to thirty five pass at ten per game,

383
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 3: which is making lab McConkey be a valuable wide receiver

384
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: one in this offense. Man. He's been a top five

385
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 3: wide receiver in Fantasy and points per game with fifteen

386
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 3: points per game. And the Browns right now they're allowing

387
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: the top five defensive points to points per game to

388
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: wide receivers. To wide receivers line up outside and in

389
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 3: the slot, there was a lot of mismatch opportunities for

390
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 3: Lad McConkie this week against his Brown defense.

391
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: Do love Lad McConkie and great to see him getting

392
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 1: that post by rookie bump that you see for a

393
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: lot of players. So, Floria, you sort of let slip

394
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: who you're going with hot starts this year. About to

395
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: explain yourself at this point it.

396
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: Is bow Nicks and like, look, I'll copy from you

397
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: and rank sign me up as a bowl leiaver here

398
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: because what he does with his legs one separates him

399
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: from a lot of other quarterbacks and fantasies. He is

400
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: four rushing touchdowns this season, five games with at least

401
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 2: twenty five or more rushing touchdowns, which is a three

402
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: hundred passing yards right there.

403
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: He also has some.

404
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: Games with like over sixty rush so the ceiling is

405
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 2: very high. Coming off his best game as a passer

406
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: with two hundred and eighty four yards and three touchdowns.

407
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: Now he gets the Ravens, who have allowed the most

408
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 2: passing yards and touchdowns, third most fantasy points per game

409
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 2: to quarterbacks. I would play him over a number of

410
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 2: big name quarterbacks this week, like Jared Goff being one

411
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: of them.

412
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: Bo Nicks one more passing touchdown than Jaden Daniels has

413
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: so far this season. Yeah, I mean one less Hell Mary,

414
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: though one less Heill Mary. That's true, That's absolutely fair

415
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: for me. I'm gonna go with Josh Downs. And we

416
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: like Josh Downs anyway. He's sort of been the Colts

417
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: receiver you could count on regardless of who's that quarterback.

418
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: But now we get a quarterback upgrade with Joe Flacco

419
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: taking over for Anthony Richardson, and so that's even more

420
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: reason to be excited about Josh Downs. We have seen

421
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: a heavy target share for him over the last few weeks,

422
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: and the routes he tends to run sixty percent of

423
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 1: his routes are within ten yards of the line of scrimmage.

424
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: It is those short and intermediate routes that have really

425
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: killed the Vikings this year. I mean, Brian Flores's defense

426
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: has done a great job of putting pressure on quarterbacks.

427
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: They're also giving up a lot of yards and catches

428
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: to wide receivers. And this feels like with Joe Flacco

429
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: standing back there and throwing darts that Josh Downs is

430
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: ready to really take off. Look, I know we like

431
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, Floria said, pretty much everybody except Alec Pierce,

432
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: the Josh Downs. I think a name it should be

433
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: in a lot of lineups coming up this week, that

434
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: was Who Will Deliver, presented by Uber Eats, where you

435
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: can get the best deals on game day food all

436
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: season long, the official on demand delivery partner of the NFL.

437
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: Order.

438
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: Now back to some more games on the Week nine

439
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: slate Broncos at the Ravens. And so you heard Florio

440
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: talk about bo Knicks as a start for you, Lakwan,

441
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: what has to happen for you to put Bo Nicks

442
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: in a lineup this week.

443
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: I just love everything. Since he's gone back and forth

444
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: with Sean Payton, he's been playing great ball at eighteen

445
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: fantasy points per game. But a lot of success has

446
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 3: come from that old line being one of the best

447
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: in the NFL. I mean, there's been a couple of

448
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: games where they've had some clean sheets of where he's

449
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 3: not getting sacked and he's able to moon walk out

450
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: of that pocket and there's rushing upside there. So more

451
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 3: so you're looking at this Ravens defense. They don't have

452
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 3: a lot of pressures their bottom of the table, so

453
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: I don't really have any worries of bout Nicks getting

454
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 3: off of his game. I expecting to keep playing good football,

455
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 3: keep getting the get down in the pocket and getting

456
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 3: some fantasy points for a lot of fantasy managers this week.

457
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: Clean sheets bottom of the table that they're not playing

458
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: this game at Old Trafford. Okay, let's let's calm down

459
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: a little bit there, all right it, Yes, I caught

460
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: them all Lauria about Sunday Night Football, Colts and the Vikings.

461
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: We've talked about Anthony Richardson, We've talked about Josh Downs,

462
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: those look at the other side of things, Florio. TJ.

463
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: Hawkinson trying to get back and play. He missed, He's

464
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: missed all of this season after recovering from an ACL tear.

465
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: Was close last week, couldn't quite get on the field.

466
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: If TJ. Hawkinson plays, Are you confident enough to start

467
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: him this week? Uh? Me, personally no.

468
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: But before I go into Hawkinson that you mentioned Josh downs.

469
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 2: His quote was that he was asked if he played

470
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: with Richardson again. He said, at the end of the day,

471
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: Joe's like forty years old.

472
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 1: Made me cry. TJ.

473
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 2: Hockinson, I wouldn't because he's only literally yesterday Tuesday, the

474
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: twenty ninth was nine months removed from when he had

475
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: the ACL surgery, and we always hear that nine months

476
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: is the mark where players can really start letting loose

477
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: and be and like getting back to it again. So

478
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 2: I'm always questioning, like, is it going to be Russ

479
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 2: Is he gonna be on a snapcount? Will it take

480
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: him a little bit of time to get fully reacclimated.

481
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: It's a new quarterback. All of that, You've gone eight

482
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: weeks without him already.

483
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: What's one more like?

484
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 2: My approach with this is to practice patience, but I

485
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 2: know we are not on the same page.

486
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, Yolo, let's go. I've been waiting all day

487
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: for Sunday night. We're starting to start TJ Hockinson this week.

488
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: I didn't look. I think everything you said actually has

489
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: some merit to it. I just feel like, yeah, like,

490
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: let's get him in there. I'm ready to go. I'm

491
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,479
Speaker 1: ready to go. That's it Monday. I Football Bucks at

492
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, Lakwi. Can you finally start Patrick Mahomes yes? Weekend.

493
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 3: Man, this is gonna be a blow up game for

494
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes. I mean, honestly, having the support from DeAndre

495
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 3: Hopkins is gonna help as well. But quarterbacks this season

496
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: have been having fantasy uh career season highs against his

497
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: Bucks defense. I mean, you look at Kirk Cousins blow

498
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: up game, Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels all season high fantasy

499
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 3: performance from these guys, and I think Patrick Mahomes fits

500
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: that bill to be one of those guys this week

501
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 3: to go up there and put up some points.

502
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we didn't really see much from DeAndre Hopkins last week,

503
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: but Mahomes still did enough to put up his first

504
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: nineteen point fantasy game in a while, so he's it

505
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: seems like things are happening. Things are coming around. The

506
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: matchup is really good for Mahomes this week, so we

507
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: can get excited about it. I have a lot. Look,

508
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: I have a roster with Gino Smith and Mahomes. I've

509
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: been riding Gino. I'm gonna make the switch this week.

510
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: I have the same situation that I'm doing the same thing.

511
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: You out there, you go. We will have more of

512
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 1: the nine previews on Fantasy Extra on NFL Plus. We'll

513
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: be sure to check that out. It's time to drive

514
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: your lineup, presented by the all new hybrid Toyota Camry.

515
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: Time for hot takes. M kwan get spicy on us,

516
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: will you?

517
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 3: Oh, we're going hot man. I'm going to Jacksonville Duvall

518
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 3: for Parker Washington having a top fifteen wide receiver performance

519
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: in his second career start, because he's going to be

520
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: fitting the bill, fitting the part ins a plug and

521
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: play slot wide receiver. With Christian Kirk basically shut down

522
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: for the season, the Eagles man there allow on the

523
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 3: most eighth most Fantasy points per game t to wide receivers,

524
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: and they've have allowed eight touchdowns to the slot wide

525
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 3: receiver position. So I'm going to go out there and

526
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 3: put in Parker Washington to have a big blow up

527
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 3: game this season.

528
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: That is red hot, top fifteen finishes, red yes, less,

529
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: all right, Florio, get spicy, my. I mean that's a

530
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: hard one. I mean that's the topper.

531
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 2: Really, But I think Calvin Ridley runs wild this week

532
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 2: and in the second half of this season, starting with

533
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: this week against the New England Patriots. You saw what

534
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: he did last week, but don't overlook the fact that

535
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: in the two games prior to that he had eight

536
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 2: and nine targets. So eight nine to fifteen targets in

537
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: his last three games combined.

538
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: The Patriots are in.

539
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 2: The top ten and fantasy points per game allowed to

540
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: wide receivers. They've allowed the third most yards on deep passes,

541
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: and we know really could win downfields. But it's not

542
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 2: just this week I'm excited for. He has the best

543
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: wide receiver schedule the rest of the season, with games

544
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 2: against the Vikings, the Commanders twice I'm sorry once, the

545
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: Jaguars twice, the Bengals, the Colts. Like he could make

546
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: up for his slow first half with a huge second half.

547
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: I said is the first quarter targets. He got them,

548
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: and he prospered, complaining and he got it, got it

549
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: right for me. We talked about Patrick Mahomes finally being

550
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: a start. I'm telling you that Patrick Mahomes this week's

551
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: gonna have his first twenty point fantasy game since last Thanksgiving.

552
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: It's been that long for him. I mentioned the nineteen

553
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: points he had last week against the Raiders. Now has

554
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: maybe an even better matchup against the Bucks secondary that

555
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: has been torched all seas long. Maybe this is the

556
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: week we see DeAndre Hopkins fully integrated. You talk about

557
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: post buy rookie bumps. They're figuring out how to get

558
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: Xavia Worthy more involved in this offense as well. Patrick Mahomes,

559
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: he's playing good football, it just hasn't translated into good

560
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: fantasy football. I think this is the week you see

561
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: it finally look more like the Patrick Mahomes you probably

562
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: spent an early round pick on. So there it is.
