1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, So this week mac Weldon is sponsoring our

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: show and they sent me some of their smart design

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: premium fabric underwear, and seriously, I was amazed. Look, every

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: pair of underwear I've ever owned has been uncomfortable. I'm

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: always readjusting, and I just had to deal with it.

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: I never thought about going out and finding a great

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: pair of comfortable underwear because frankly, I didn't know anything

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: like this was out there. I just thought underwear was

9
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: a terrible clothing item to have to wear. So do

10
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,120

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: as always I'm here with producer JP Gale. Week six

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: over and it was an extremely rough one for me

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: and my rankings and also my bride. But week seven

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: is a fresh slate. We're gonna be joined by Scott

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: Pienowski of Yahoo dot com today to chat about some

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: week seven pickups and recap some of the important news

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: on him from week six. High Scott, thanks for coming

28
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: on the show. My pleasure always just couldn't talk some

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: football with you. Thanks guy. Yeah, we week six just

30
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: absolutely killed me. We had guys like Aaron Rodgers, Antonio Brown,

31
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: all kinds of other flops. Well, players like Jay Agi

32
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: and case Keenum and Terrence Weentz. She's just dominated it was.

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: It was really humbling for me. Yeah, I mean there's

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: some players in great matchups who didn't come through for us.

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: It looked like Russell Wilson was in a good spot

36
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, Alex Smith was in one of the better spots,

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: off to buy and it turned into a game where

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: it rained and they didn't throw any touchdowns. Obviously the

39
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: Steelers with Rocks getting hurt, they did almost nothing. And

40
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: also this is anecdotal. I haven't done any research on this,

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: but it sure seemed this way. I can't every week

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: there's going to be some odd players who score touchdowns,

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: but I can't remember as many players where you're like,

44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: he's still in the league, like it really has been,

45
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: still still playing NFL. You know, he scored a touchdown

46
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: one of the touchdowns the Steelers with Darius Sayward beck

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: who who probably looked at the best he's looked since

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: his calmbound work out with that touchdown. Vernon Davis was

49
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: a factor in the Washington game. It just seem like

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: all over the place there were players that you never

51
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: could have gotten to for fantasy. I mean, heck, the

52
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs farmed out a touchdown that done Terry Poe. There's

53
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: not even an offer. It was just one of those

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: days where you hope you fell into some Beckham, or

55
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: you hope you fell into maybe you needed to play

56
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: J J. I or I'm sure we'll probably talk about

57
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: him today. But it would just seemed like there's randomness

58
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: in every l week. And so I don't want to

59
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: say any week is strange in the sense that every

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: NFL week is strange in its own way, but it

61
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: just felt like maybe a little extra strangists in Week

62
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: six yeah, yeah, I totally agree. And you know I

63
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: was telling everyone Alex Smith was gonna have a big week,

64
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: and I stand by that. I mean, he was really efficient.

65
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: It just died didn't happen in the touchdown zone, and

66
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: that's because Spencer ware was. It was so ridiculous. I mean,

67
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: who would have thought he was going to get twenty

68
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: four carries when they're saying Tomalt Charles is going to

69
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: get all these carries? I mean, I certainly wasn't. Are

70
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: they going to stop giving them the ball? They can't,

71
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: can they? I think it's going to be a case

72
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: where both backs get regularly involved and the flow of

73
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: the game in the hot hand maybe or the way

74
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: a game shapes up is going to have a lot

75
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: to say with it. Now. In Sunday's game, a couple

76
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: of things that were hard to predict. The rain you

77
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: never really know with whether. I mean, Seattle was supposed

78
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: to have this awful storm and it didn't come to

79
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: pass and it didn't affect the playability of that game

80
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: at all. But the weather was a factor, and maybe

81
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs were hesitant to use Charles too much on

82
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: a wet field in that game. Was hard to predict

83
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: is that the Raiders offense didn't fight back. I mean,

84
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: they only scored ten points. If you wanted Alex Smith

85
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: in this game, you were probably thinking the high total.

86
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: A history of high scoring matchups in this series. I

87
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: generally don't take a game that when teams are playing

88
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: and you go to the history, I only care that's

89
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: the divisional matchup where you're playing twice a year. So

90
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: this is in the Oakland, Kansas City case. That's where

91
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: the history might have actually meant something to me. It

92
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: might have pushed me a little bit stronger on Alex Smith.

93
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: But I don't think anybody would have thought that the

94
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: Raiders would only score ten points, especially when they came

95
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: down and scored very early in the game and took

96
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: a lead. Amari Cooper was just about uncoverable for about

97
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: a half of that game. But just some things we

98
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: can't anticipate ahead of time, and I don't think the

99
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: Chiefs are going to necessarily go into games and have

100
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: a specific hard plan that they're not going to vary

101
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: from if the situation doesn't dictate it. In the case

102
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: yesterday they talked about sprinkling in Charles. That turns out

103
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: what they did, but maybe on a dryer field and

104
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: a team that the offensive lees, maybe they'll use Charles Moore.

105
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: If I had to go forward, I have to rank

106
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Where more because he kind of has the baton. He

107
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: scored too many touchdowns, He's been productive on an efficiency

108
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: basis all season. The only real problem with Where is

109
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: that he's fumbled a week two, week, three, weeks four.

110
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Part of that I can excuse because it was a

111
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: bad field in that Pittsburgh game. But he's played so

112
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 1: well all season I get to believe at minimum he's

113
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 1: earned about half of the work here. I almost wondered

114
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: if they can stick him out at receiver, kind of

115
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: like the Steelers you're doing with Levon Bell, because Where

116
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: has been really effective catching the ball to the backfield.

117
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: When you have a guy like Jamal Charles, you know,

118
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: there's a reason I have Jamal Charles ranked higher the

119
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: rest of the season than Where. Now. Next week, I'm

120
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: gonna have Wear ranked higher, obviously, but the fact that

121
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles, if he ends up getting fifteen carries a game,

122
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: could be the number one running back in football the

123
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: rest of the season. I just can't see ranking him

124
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: lower than Where. Who as good as he's been, he's

125
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: still kind of an unproven commodity. My guess, and this

126
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: is just a guess on my part, is that with

127
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Ars being twenty nine, he's thirty at the end of December.

128
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: He's got the two ACL blowouts. I think they're going

129
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: to be very careful about not overworking him, and they

130
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: don't have to with Where being an established player. Now,

131
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: they still have charcand Request, but they can do a

132
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: lot of different things because both of their primary backs

133
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: can catch the ball. Charles is an excellent receiver and

134
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: there was the thing where we weren't really sure if

135
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: Where could do that, but they made it a priority

136
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: to get him involved as a receiver in the preseason

137
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: and then what he does in that first week and

138
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: with the Chargers has been their whole season. They raced

139
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: out to a big lead, the Chiefs have to play

140
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: from behind, and where was actually the spark plug in

141
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: that game as a receiver? We weren't really positive that

142
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: was in the skill set, but he's shown a lot

143
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: of ability there. And one of the takeaways for me

144
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: for the Kansas City backfields, I've heard a lot of

145
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: people say, well, Andy Reid wants to use one back

146
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: to me, Andy Reid is a coach who's going to

147
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: use his talent and then form the scheme around it.

148
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: He's not going to be somebody. He's going to take

149
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: a scheme and just try to force it into whatever

150
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: talent he has on the roster. I think Andy Reid

151
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: is perfectly capable and skill. I mean, he's so great

152
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: after the buyer right sixteen and two. I wish they

153
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: had another we good point too, But I think Andy

154
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: Reid is going to find a way to make both

155
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: of these players viable week. And remember, in fantasy now,

156
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: there's so few bell cows anymore. There's like four or

157
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: five six guys who owned their backfields than a lot

158
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: of teams. And when we see Atlanta what they've done

159
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: with two different backs, and there's so many different teams

160
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: now that you're using multiple players, I don't think it

161
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: is a kill shot for Charles or where. So long

162
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: as they don't use West all that much, and so

163
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: long as this team is going to be a run

164
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: first team, I think they're both going to be fantasy

165
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: valuable for the rest of the season. Scott, let's talk

166
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: about Jagi and that Dolphins backfield. So Aaron Foster was active,

167
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: which I assumed meant he was going to get a

168
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: full load of carries. I mean, we saw this happen

169
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: several times last year. Obviously he's with a different team,

170
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: but boy was I wrong. A Giant went for two hundred.

171
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins just whooped the Steelers. I don't know if anyone

172
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: saw this coming, but I feel real bad about this

173
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: because I had Foster pretty high my rankings, and I

174
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: don't know it's a gia gonna have the job now?

175
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: Is he the top pick of the week. It's a

176
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: tricky call. I was talking about it with Brad Evans

177
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: on the Yahoo Pod earlier today and we didn't agree

178
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: on a ji E and I ended up being the

179
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: person defending him. And it's not a very comfortable position

180
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: because Miami all offseason told you they weren't sold on

181
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: a gi either. They drafted Kenyan Drake, they brought an

182
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: Arian Foster that many weeks. They've had several running backs employeed.

183
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean for a while Isaiah Peede was involved here.

184
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: He's since been cut. Damian Williams still gets involved from

185
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: time to time. So they've been reluctant to make a

186
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: ji any kind of a feature part of the offense

187
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: until yesterday, and it's just because he was so effective.

188
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: My meaning takeaway here is I don't trust Foster. He's

189
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: just too much tread on the tires, too much injury history,

190
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: too late in his career, So I don't have a

191
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: lot of faith there. But I think a Gis is

192
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: somebody who they're going to feel obligated to start. The

193
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: schedules is kind of tricky going forward. They have a

194
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: couple of tough rushing matchups. I wish they could have

195
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: the chief schedule where were they play what New Orleans

196
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: and Indianapolis. I think the next two weeks those are

197
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: dream matchups for running backs. But Miami has a tough

198
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: slate coming forward. So I just sound like I'm gonna

199
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: saying something different I said earlier on the pod. But

200
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: he's somebody I don't mind if I win a Jaye,

201
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to make him a priority where

202
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to win him. If you're

203
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to seize at the taste of what your

204
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: backfield looks like and how badly you need somebody. But

205
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm worried that the Dolphins sold on him. They told

206
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: us that consistently. They have a lot of options here.

207
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: The schedule isn't favorable, so I'm going to be careful

208
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: to make sure I don't overbid, and if I don't

209
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: get him, I don't get them. Yeah, I think that's

210
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: a fair way to put it in. You know that

211
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: means I'm probably not going to get him in my

212
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues, because you know someone is going to go crazy.

213
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: They see two hundred yards and they're gonna think, yeah,

214
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: he won the job. But you know what, I'm fine

215
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: with that. I'll save my fab and use it somewhere on.

216
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: One other thing, too, is that it's just the nature

217
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: that we look at every new waiver of a wire

218
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: and we see players who think, oh okay, there there's

219
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: five or six guys I want and that's it. I

220
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: can't find anybody after that, and I better get these

221
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: guys because after that it's just total skank sol Players

222
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: get hurt, roles change, players who we didn't think much

223
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: of come into value. It's just there's going to be

224
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: if you don't get a gie, you might think all

225
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: my running backs were sunk. There'll be somebody you want

226
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: a bid on next week. It may not even be

227
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: somebody who could identify right now. It may take two injuries,

228
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: it may take a radical change of philosophy. We've seen

229
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: a couple of offensive coordinators get fired this year. Things

230
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: are constantly changing. The waiver wire refertilizes itself. Just remember

231
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: that and don't feel like you need to go all

232
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: in if you're not sold on a player. I'm really

233
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: glad you said that, Scott. That's a right of the money.

234
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about three or four more running backs

235
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: here that I think could end up being real nice

236
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: fantasy players. Now, maybe not right away like a Gie,

237
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: but we'll see here in a minute. First, I want

238
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: to talk about his rams off. So it is so

239
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: odd what they're doing. Todd Gurley's terrible, and Kenny Britton,

240
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: Kase Keenham appear to be breaking out. I mean case

241
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: Genham broke the RAMS record. That's Kurt Warner, Mark bull

242
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: draw all these guys for most consecutive complete it passes.

243
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: It's just nuts. What's going on? There is this girly

244
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: slump reel or is he actually gonna bounce out of it? Well,

245
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: he get a little bad luck yesterday where it looked

246
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: like he had a touchdown, but then they had blown

247
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: the play dead because they were reviewing the previous play.

248
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: My main takeaway in this offense is I believe in Britt.

249
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: This guy who came into the League of twenty one

250
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: was a little bit immature, had some off the field problems,

251
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: bounced around a little bit, but he's how he's had

252
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: the ability and you look right now, he's a very

253
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: high catch rate and a very high yards per catch.

254
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: Usually it's one or the other. Either you're getting a

255
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: bunch of short passes you're catching a high percentage of them,

256
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: or you're making a lot of long catches, but it's

257
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: more of a hit or misplayer. You're more of a

258
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: like a Deshaun Jackson type player. Kenny Britt's actually getting

259
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: downfield and clicking with case Keame for whatever reason, and

260
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: he's got a very high market share in this offense.

261
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: When a team doesn't throw the ball as much, you

262
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: need somebody to dominate the ball in that offense. That's

263
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: what BRIT's doing. His yard of trolls have been very consistent.

264
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: He hadn't scored until Week six, but he gets the

265
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. I think he's a very vankable, high end

266
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: receiver three, or maybe even in deeper leagues, a lower

267
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: receiver too. But somebody, maybe the player we thought. I

268
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: know they're different styles the players, but maybe we thought

269
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin could be carried in this offense, could be

270
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: a factor. Maybe Kenny Britt in a little bit of

271
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: a different style because he works more downfield. Maybe he's

272
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: the bankable receiver that we thought the Rams had with

273
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin. You know, he's on piece for eighty receptions

274
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred yards. Obviously, I think that's going to regress

275
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. But you know, even if it doesn't,

276
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: I mean, even if it does quite a bit, he's

277
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: still probably a wide receiver three or a pretty consistent

278
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: flex start. So if Kenny Britt's available in your league,

279
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: he's one of the guys that I'm real interest in

280
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: grabbing this week. Until this week, but he's been giving

281
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: you consistent yardage. It's one thing if a guy does

282
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: nothing for four or five weeks and the nique gi right,

283
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: he was off the radar and then he had a

284
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: monster game. So it's kind of hard to know what

285
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: it means. Britt has clearly stamped himself as a viable,

286
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: important part of his offense and has played well just

287
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: about every week. And it's like, if you think of

288
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: it in DFS terms, seasonal fantasy is like a cash

289
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: game where we want consistency, we want projectable floors, we

290
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: want a guy who we know has a role week

291
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: to week. We can say those things about Kenny Britt

292
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: now one of those guys we can't necessarily say that

293
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: about his time Montgomery, who just came out of nowhere

294
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: this week with ten receptions. He was even running the

295
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield behind Eddie Lacy. Is he

296
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: a legitimate fantasy ad like Cameron Meredith clearly was last week?

297
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: Or is he bound to come back to earth. I

298
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: don't like him nearly as much, said do Meredith. I

299
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: want to make that clear. Of course, Meredith done it

300
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: two weeks now, so it's easier to say that. But man,

301
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: I think he's totally illgit and I would pay the

302
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: sticker on Meredith in a trade. You obviously can't pick

303
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: him up anymore in any kind of competitive league. But

304
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: here's the thing with the Packers. They need to build

305
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: trust in this offense. They need to build rapport in

306
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: this offense. We saw they couldn't do it last year

307
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: with Davante Adams. He's been a little bit better this year,

308
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: but still not somebody who can trust week to week.

309
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: It sounds like they have reasons to not want to

310
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: play Jeff Janis. He had a couple of catches late

311
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: in this game, but even though he's occasionally flashed in

312
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: the preseason, he had that really big game with the

313
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: El Mary's in the playoffs, they just don't want to

314
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: get him on the field. The tight ends have been disappointing.

315
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: I think Jordy Nelson, even with the five touchdowns, he's

316
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: been a little bit of a disappointment. His catch right

317
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: and yards per catch our way down Montgomery catches ten

318
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: and twelve targets. I know it only went for ninety

319
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: eight yards. They've used him in the backfield I think

320
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: for three straight weeks. The only buzz kill there is

321
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: he did lose a late fumble, so I don't know

322
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: how much that's going to affect his status in this offense.

323
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: But Green Bay on a short week, they have Chicago

324
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: this week, they can't really throw a bunch of new

325
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: things in this offense. The fact that Montgomery caught ten

326
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: of twelve passes and was on the field that much,

327
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: and it's built enough for poor With Aaron Rodgers, I

328
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: feel like that's going to translate to production in week seven.

329
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: I think he said to catch at least six passes

330
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: this week, and in any type of PPR format, again,

331
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: you'd like to see him get more than nine point

332
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: eight yards per catch. But I think he's going to

333
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: be a factor in Week seven. And I think he's

334
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: somebody that if you play in PPR scoring, you need

335
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: to take seriously as a free agent bid. And we

336
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: talked about Cameron Meredith. Obviously you can't pick him up.

337
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: I guess you can in forty percent of leagues, which

338
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: is just crazy too. Man, I don't play in any

339
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: kind of leagues like that. But he had eleven receptions. Again,

340
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: if the draft were today, where would you draft Cameron Meredith?

341
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: A low end receiver kind of what we talked about

342
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: with Britt, But I like him a little bit more so.

343
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: I guess he creeps into a solid wide receiver. Two

344
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: in part, remember Brian Hoyer three hundred yards of passing

345
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: in four straight games. It's funny how the Bears fell

346
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: into their best offense with all the guys getting hurt

347
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: where it got them away from Cutler and into Hoyer,

348
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: got them away from their backfield situation where Jordan Howard's

349
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: really their better player and he probably should have been

350
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: starting all along. In Meridus was a guy who wasn't

351
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: drafted any league that I was in, and was completely

352
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: off the radar. And you look at him, six foot three,

353
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifteen pounds or so. He looks the

354
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: part as a good route runner's physical, He's making a

355
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: lot of yards after the catch. He was athletic enough

356
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: to be a quarterback in college for two years, so

357
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: he's still learning the position, but he sure looks polished.

358
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: I watched every snap of his Week five tape against Indianapolis,

359
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: and I know he didn't see Bronte Davis a lot

360
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: in that game, but I thought it was terrific and

361
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: Hoyer is not. Even though Allstean Jeffrey has been productive

362
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: every week. He's not scoring touchdowns, but his yardage has

363
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: been fine. He's we saw him the old offense. Color

364
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: would force the ball to Marshall, would force the ball

365
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: to Jeffrey, and Howier's just to take him with what's available,

366
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: and that's Zach Miller. Fine, if that's Cameron Meredith, fine,

367
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: that's Eddie Royal, fine. Jeffrey was a perfectly fine player yesterday,

368
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: productive player. But I think Meredith is going to be

369
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: somebody we start, we kind of set and forget the

370
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: rest of the season. I also think the Bears is

371
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: gonna have trouble stopping good offenses that did throw up

372
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: a bagel for three quarters yesterday against Jacksonville. Because that's

373
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, Blake Bortles. What would it take for him

374
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: to actually play a good first half of football. I

375
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: guess that's out of the question. But I think the

376
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: Bear's gonna have a lot of high scoring games. We've

377
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: seen that the yardage in the volume has been there

378
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: for Hoyer for four straight games. I mean, he didn't

379
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: have a great yards per a tempt yesterday, but he

380
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: through forty nine passes. Cameron Meredith to me, I wish

381
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: he was on all of my teams. He's on some

382
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: of my teams. He's somebody I would trade resources to get.

383
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be, say, receiver twenty four,

384
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: receiver twenty five the rest of the way, somebody were

385
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: comfortable playing every week. I remember when Alan Robinson and

386
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton and guys like this. It came out

387
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: of the woodwork in you know, nobody really knew who

388
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,239
Speaker 1: they were. We didn't know how high their ceiling was,

389
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: and now they're legitimate wide receiver ones is this Meredith ceiling?

390
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: Can't he become a player like that eventually for Dynasty?

391
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: For Mints. I don't want to compare him to Robinson

392
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: because he was a second round pick and I think

393
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: he may have been a first round pick if he

394
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: didn't play with some bad quarterbacks at Penn State. So

395
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: Robinson was a guy I always liked. I mean, he

396
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: comps physically to Dez Bryant, and I think even though

397
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: he's gotten off to a slow start, he's the only

398
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: guy about fifty percent catch right and Bortles has been awful,

399
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: I still believe in Robinson. And no, Hilton's a guy man.

400
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: I know he didn't do that much Sunday Night, but

401
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: it seemed like he was runs by people every week.

402
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: So I think it's a little bit maybe too lofty

403
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: where I'm willing to go on Meredith. But I think

404
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: the Bears have a player here. I think he's going

405
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: to be their second best receiver for a long time,

406
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: and if Jeffrey were to go down, I think, look

407
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: look at the targets too, I mean double digit target

408
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: institution right weeks. We know how important opportunity is, and

409
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: it's not just opportunity, but he's been very efficient with

410
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: those targets and earning the trust of lawyer in this offense.

411
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: So all I want to say, I can't say you

412
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: compared them to two players who I think they're like

413
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: borderline all pros. I can't go that falls day, but

414
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: I do think I don't think he's a flash in

415
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: the pan. I think he's going to be fantasy viable

416
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: the rest of October, the rest of November, the rest

417
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: of December. I think he's going to be somebody who

418
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: and maybe to the point that we come back at

419
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: the end of the year and we look at like

420
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: the eight or ten waiver wire pickups or free agent

421
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: pickups who really swung seasons. I think Cameron Meredith has

422
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 1: an excellent chance to be on that list. Okay, so

423
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: this Baltimore backfield, it's just driving me nuts. I've been

424
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: tooting Kenneth Dixon's horn for so long and Tears West

425
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: just keeps looking like it a legitimate fantasy running back.

426
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: But I don't know is he gonna lose his Is

427
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: he gonna lose his chance now Dixon, or are they

428
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: gonna split carries or just West just um, you know,

429
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: run away with his job now. Well, at least a

430
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: couple of things have happened where they've they've kind of

431
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: trimmed the fat a little bit, where they cut four set.

432
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: They don't want to play Javorius Allen. He was a

433
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: productive pass catcher last year, and we have to take

434
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: I think the first game with Morden Wegg is the

435
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator, I think we have to take a

436
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: statement from that in West g twenty three carries in

437
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. So even though the yards per carry under

438
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: four and he hasn't been the most efficient back again,

439
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: having a baton is such a huge part of backfield

440
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: play and trying to figure the stuff out for fantasy.

441
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: I have to figure that. Unless West really falls all

442
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: over himself, I think he's going to be the guy

443
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: for an extended period of time. God, it makes me sad.

444
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: I want to see Kenneth Dixon out there. Man, Yeah,

445
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: me too. And you know, maybe the one thing that

446
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: could swing things is what encourages offenses to change is

447
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: when they have losing streaks, and this team, they somehow

448
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: got off to a three starter, although they probably should

449
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: have lost to Cleveland, they probably should have lost to Jacksonville.

450
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: Since then, they've lost all their close games. It's interesting

451
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: how they all six of their games really have been

452
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: in the balance this year, but they've lost three games

453
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: in a row. They felt obligated to change the coordinator.

454
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: And maybe West struggles in Week seven against the Jets.

455
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we know what the Jets defense is. They

456
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: stopped the run, they get thrown all over. Their secondary

457
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: is just a Bysmo right now, and I expect the

458
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals will exploit that tonight. But maybe West has a

459
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: poor game against this Jets front and they're forced to

460
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: look at Dixon. Then they get the bye week. So

461
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: if maybe we were Ablen should lose this game or

462
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: struggle on the ground, then you get a week to

463
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: think about it. Maybe Morning Leg then would feel more

464
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: comfortable seeing what Dixon could bring to the table. So

465
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: if you are a Dixon guy, I think you need

466
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: to wait out Week seven against the Jets, bad matchup,

467
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: and then Week eight with a bye, maybe that could

468
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: be the impetus for some change. This weekend. I was

469
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: so excited about the Packers Cowboys game, maybe more than

470
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: any other game this year, because I wanted to see

471
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: who Ezekiel Elliott was. He was going up against the

472
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: defense that was on pace for the best run defense

473
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: in NFL history. Obviously that's not going to keep up

474
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: with the Packers, but he shredded him one hundred and

475
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards. Is he the best fantasy player for

476
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. He's in that conversation. It's

477
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: interesting before the season, if we had talked and you'd said,

478
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, what's the top of my board, I would

479
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: have said, you know, you take Antonio Round first, you

480
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: take Odell Beckham, second, you take Julio Jones third. It's

481
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: funny how I'd be willing to take running backs now.

482
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: I'd be willing to take David Johnson or Levon Bell,

483
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, hoping that that Ben comes back after the bye,

484
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: or to take into Sekiel Elliott, these guys who are

485
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: very high efficient players, and the volume is there the

486
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: offensive line, he's just blowing holes open with the thing

487
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: with the Packers defense is their yards per carry as

488
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: low as it was and two point zero is terrific,

489
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: and that's what it was before. Yesterday was also built

490
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: on some really cream puff matchups. They weren't playing against

491
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: teams that had good running backs. I still think they

492
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: have a decent run defense, but Dallas is just going

493
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: to make a lot of people look back. Remember too,

494
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: they have a quarterback now and Dak Prescott who can

495
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: bring some mobility and a little bit of read option

496
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: and just a more multiple offense maybe. And I'd be

497
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: really shocked if they went back to Roma. I think

498
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: with this five at one start, they're obviously not playing

499
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: in weeks, and I think Prescott has to be the guy.

500
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 1: And I think Dallas she's just looking for a way

501
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: to submit at PR wise because they know they can't

502
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: make a change now. But Elliott, you could take him

503
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: as high as one. You could take him too, you

504
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: could take him three. I would take him over any

505
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: receiver right now, and it would just be a season

506
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: to taste if you liked, if you happen to like Belmore,

507
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: happen to like Johnson Moore. I think those are the

508
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: big three, kind of like how the receivers were a

509
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: big three before the season. I think those three in

510
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: any order would make sense in a redraft right now.

511
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: You know, I also love McCoy. He's been amazing, Lamar Miller,

512
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: he's been getting a ton of carries. I wasn't expecting

513
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: that in the DeMarco Murray. I mean, any of those guys,

514
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: I might take above Odell Beckham at number you know,

515
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: as the number three wide receiver. I also loved aj

516
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: Green in the preseason. Those were my top four players,

517
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: were those four wide receivers. And now I'd probably take

518
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: six running necks in the first round. It's crazy. I

519
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: apologize to McCoy. He should be in that group. I

520
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: think Murray, although I have no problem with him in

521
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: the middle of the first round, I think he's a

522
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: little bit behind the rest of those guys, just because

523
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't trust that off and I don't trust Mike Paularkey.

524
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: I know Murray has been great and you can catch

525
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: the ball too, and then Henry's really been no factor there.

526
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: But I do believe that McCoy Buffalo they do one

527
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: thing well. I mean, I don't really trust any of

528
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: the receivers, and you know, Charles Clay, if you need

529
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: five catches for fifty two yards and no touchdown. Charles

530
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: Clay can do that every week. But Tyrod Taylor to

531
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: throw the ball a lot. We know he can run,

532
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: we know they want to play good defense. They're gonna

533
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: get Darius back. I mean, as long as McCoy is healthy.

534
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: And of course that's the that's what you're you're risking

535
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: when you take any running back early because it's such

536
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: a high injury position. They touch the ball, they get

537
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: tackled by so many guys, and so you have to

538
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: play that game with the durability. And by the way,

539
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: anybody who owns McCoy, I think Mike Gilly Gillisley. I'm

540
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: not a big handcuff guy, but I think if you're

541
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: riding with McCoy, I think Gillisley has to be on

542
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: your roster. Six for sixty yesterday and a touchdown. I

543
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: know it came in garbage time and not much wiggle

544
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: at Gilliesli, but all this guy does make big plays.

545
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: If I'm McCoy owner in any league, and then even

546
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: if you're just in the league where you need a

547
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: high upside back up somebody you're not going to play.

548
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: You're looking for a plausible upside. I think Gillesley as

549
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: a guy should be on a lot of rosters. So

550
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: let's talk about Ladarius Green. You mentioned him when he

551
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: comes back. Is he Fantasy relevant? Like, there's there's three

552
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 1: guys at tight end that I like picking up this

553
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: with Jack Doyle, Vernon Davis, and Ladarius Green. Which these

554
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: guys do you like the most? Yeah? I would go

555
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: Doyle first, with Alan dinged up with man. I was

556
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: wrong about about the Indianapolis receivers. I thought Dorset was

557
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: gonna I know he's kind of a Hilton clone and

558
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: it's an odd fit for that offense. But I thought

559
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: once Moncrief got hurt, I thought Dorset just brobably Attrician

560
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: would have to get more touches and involvement. He's been

561
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: ineffective when on the field, and now he's dinged up again.

562
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: We know Andrew Luck close to the goal line, likes

563
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: those those big targets. He likes to throw inside the numbers.

564
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: Doyle nothing necessarily special about his game, but he has

565
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: a rapport with Luck Davis. I just wonder that they

566
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: have other options there. We'll see if they get read back.

567
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: We know they have Alliance game in the schedule, which

568
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 1: is always great for a tight end production. But I

569
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: think Doyle, now that Alan is thinged up, and now

570
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: that the Cults receivers are playing so poorly other than Hilton,

571
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a factor going forward.

572
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: And somebody even I'm in a couple of leagues where

573
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: you can flatch tight ends or you use two tight ends,

574
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: but even past that, I'm going to have him rank

575
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: in the top twelve this week. Speaking of tight ends,

576
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: I will watch this Patriots Bengals game, and Rob Gronkowski

577
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: is absolutely unstoppable. That game was so fun to watch

578
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: because the Bengals are just the nastiest, dirtiest team in

579
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I have nothing against the Bengals for

580
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: whatever reason, but when I watched them play, I always

581
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: find myself rooting against him, even if it's the Patriots.

582
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 1: In Gronk, it was awesome seeing him just tear them

583
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: up and talk trash after they were being so journey

584
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah another team. Yeah, the Patriots have set up their

585
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: offense to what Tom Burry does well at this part

586
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: of his career. He's not a great deep thrower, he's

587
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: not a great outside thrower. So what do they do?

588
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: They have the best tight end probably in NFL history,

589
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: in Gronkowski, they bring in Marklis Bennett, and they're all

590
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: sorts of creative with these guys, and they're just matchup

591
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: night Marris, you know, I mean, how do you cover Gronk.

592
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's any right way to cover them,

593
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: And if you want to devote all your resources to

594
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: Drap and Gronks, is going to be guys who are open,

595
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: especially Bennett. The big loser in this offense, I think

596
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: is Julian Edelman, who has done just nothing all season.

597
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: And even when Bradies come back and Ediman will eventually

598
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: we'll fit back into the scheme of things. But he's

599
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: never been a big touchdown guy. He's only played one

600
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: full season out of seven and eventually. I don't know

601
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: that they'll get DM Lewis anytime soon, but maybe he'll

602
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: play in December. We saw White was a factor out

603
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: of the backfield yesterday. A lot of mouths to feed

604
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: in this offense, but it starts with the two tight

605
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: ends seven. Gronkowski of course the number one tight end

606
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: in fantasy, and I think Bennett is going to be

607
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: startable most weeks, although he didn't have a great game yesterday,

608
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: call five his targets. But again they're trying to set

609
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: up an offense that fits to what the quarterback does well.

610
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: He likes to throw between the numbers. He likes to

611
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: throw the big targets, and you can't get two better

612
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: big targets than Gronkowski and then Martelli s Bennett. Yeah,

613
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: you're right, you know, James White looks really good. Yes, ready,

614
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: he did have the two touchdowns by I don't think

615
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: he's half the player Dan Lewis is, and he should

616
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: be back sometime soon. He's only owned in twenty three

617
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: percent of leagues. When he comes back, do you think

618
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: he steals a bunch of carries from from Blount? Or

619
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: is he just going to be a factor in the

620
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: receiving game and kind of be minimized by all those

621
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: other options The Prince I've heard from New England from

622
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: from a couple of sources, is that Lewis's rehab has

623
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: not been an accelerated pace and they don't expect him

624
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: back anytime soon. I wouldn't be surprised if Dan Lewis

625
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: did anything fansy relevant before December. That's a bummer, that's

626
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: a real bummer. I was kind kind of banking on

627
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: him in one of my big leagues. I'd love to

628
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: see it. I mean, I grew up in New England.

629
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: I got consider myself more of a fan of the

630
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: league right now than a fan of any specific team.

631
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: But you know, if I had to pick a team

632
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl, I'd picked the Patriots. But again,

633
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I just want I do for

634
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: a living. I mean, I just try to be agnostic

635
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: about everything. I mean, obviously Lewis was terrific when on

636
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: the field, and the Patriots and then they should resigned

637
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: him or I should say, extended him early last season.

638
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: You almost never see that. That's how impressed they were

639
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: with him a major injury. They have so many different

640
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: guys they can use. White is not the same player

641
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: that Lewis is when they're both one hundred percent. But

642
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: I just don't think Lewis is going to be a

643
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: one hundred pery. It may not even be this season.

644
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: That that's the stuff I'm hearing, And maybe I'd be

645
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: totally wrong on that. We know the Patriots, you know,

646
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: they'd sooner give out their their ATM PIN than they

647
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: would any injury information. But Lewis is somebody I'm not

648
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: as high on, just because I tend to just generally

649
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: my mindset with injuries anyway, when it's a major injury,

650
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: when it's an extended period they've been missing, I just

651
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: try to be careful when they come back. No. Another

652
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: running back that a lot of people have been writing

653
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: me about his DeVante Booker. I mean cg Anderson had

654
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: another rough stat line and Booker looked really good again.

655
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: Is it only a matter of time before he takes

656
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: over in Denver? I personally think cg Anderson looked really good.

657
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: He had a couple big carries called back. He's got

658
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: a great schedule coming up. I'm buying low on cg

659
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: Anderson right now. You make a great point. That's why

660
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: it's important to watch the game, says Anderson. Had two

661
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: terres perfect plays taken out by penalty, including a catching

662
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: run which was just as good as that catching run

663
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: we saw last night with Lamar Miller. I mean, just

664
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: a terrific touchdown and you hate to see it wiped

665
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: out in that Thursday game. But what makes me nervous

666
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: is Bookers look good every week and he's getting his

667
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: snap share has been going up. His share of the

668
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 1: offense has been going up weekend week out, and I

669
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: think not only is there a chance a Booker needs

670
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: to be owned, because not only is there a chance

671
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: he'd take over if Anderson got hurt, but I think

672
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: there's a chance he could beat out Anderson. So to me,

673
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: it's like a sixty to forty. I think they may

674
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: even go hot hand with it. Anderson, of course, looks

675
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: so great in that opening win over Carolina, but he's

676
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: had trouble get anything since then, although he did lose

677
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: the two big plays and Thursday game against San Diego.

678
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: But to me, I'm more on the Booker side of this.

679
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: I think Booker certainly needs to be owned. I'd be

680
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: looking more to acquire Booker or more to maybe get

681
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: off C. J. Anderson and am the other way around.

682
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: I see it. Totally see your point. And obviously we

683
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: want Gary Kubiak running backs, and at least it's not

684
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: a third running back who's pouring in on the work here,

685
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: because again, the NFL has changed so much, we don't

686
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: have as many bell Cows. It's not even the worst

687
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: thing in the world. If two guys get used, as

688
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: long as they don't you know, they don't use the

689
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: tight end a lot here. They're not giving the full

690
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: back touchdowns of I guess that happened in week one,

691
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: but at least they're not. It's not one of those

692
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: box scores like the Saints where you safe bought the

693
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,719
Speaker 1: ballgirl to score a touchdown. They want the pr director

694
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: to get red zone touches and the Broncos don't operate

695
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: like that. But I find myself more on the Booker

696
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: side of things. I really like him as a backup

697
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: running back, and the people who listen to this show

698
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: then know I love owning several backup running backs instead

699
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: of a backup quarterback or tight end, just because injuries

700
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: are bound to happen to running backs. You know, C. J.

701
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: Anderson probably has a thirty five forty percent chance of

702
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: getting hurt, even though he's seems like a pretty durable guy.

703
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: So with that being said, would you rather own DeVante

704
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: Booker is a backup? Or D'Angelo Williams or maybe a

705
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: guy like um Mad The names slip in my mind,

706
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: So one of those two, who who do you prefer?

707
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: Part of it's going to be need based, because I

708
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: think Booker might actually be playable in some deeper leagues

709
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: as you're waiting for him to pop. Where Williams, I

710
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: think it has no fantasy value unless Bell gets hurt.

711
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: And that's the big thing with how playable is some

712
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: of these backups. I mean, I thought before the season

713
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: that maybe Charles Simms would be a playable option, even

714
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: before you hope something happens to Doug Martin may I

715
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: hate the root for injuries, but was realistic the NFL,

716
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: it's just going to happen. It turns out Sims wasn't

717
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: that player. And then when Martin got hurt, he wasn't

718
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: even that good and he got hurt himself. You look

719
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: at tonight with the Jets, you know, is Powell how

720
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: much is he going to be used? He's kind of

721
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: taken over the receiving role from Forte and the Jets offense.

722
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: This is a bad Jets team. Maybe they'll be playing

723
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: from behind. So is Powell a flag? You know, kind

724
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: of an upside flex play as you're seeing if maybe

725
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: something happens with Forte down the line, when we compare Williams,

726
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: when we compare Booker, if I needed a player to

727
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: have some playable value in the meantime, I'd have to

728
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: side with Booker. But if you're just thinking who has

729
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: a better chance of being a difference maker, of being

730
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: a top five running back if the starter got hurt, there,

731
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: I have to side with Williams. I think Williams upside

732
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: is higher. I think Booker it's a better chance, a

733
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: better So the flour play I guess would be Booker.

734
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: If all you care about is the upside, all you're

735
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: trying to do is hit a home run. You're thinking

736
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: maybe week eleven, Week twelve, Week thirteen, this guy's gonna

737
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: win me into the playoffs, or will win me a

738
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: playoff game later in the season. There, it's when I'd

739
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: focus on Williams. Yeah, I'm thinking David Johnson scenario where

740
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: he took over last year and ended up being a

741
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: running back one. I mean, obviously he won a lot

742
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: of people their Fantasy championship, and I think Pal can

743
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: be a guy like that. He's got six point four

744
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: yards per carry when he's getting the ball. There's really

745
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: been no one better in the NFL, no one, right,

746
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: and you know, they've kind of backed off from the

747
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: heavy workload that Forte was seeing earlier in the season.

748
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: And even though Forte had the three touchdowns against Buffalo.

749
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: He's not a great short yardage runner and Paul it's

750
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: funny because he kind of has the same skills that

751
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: Forte has Beforete's also a running back over thirty. They're

752
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: using him less than the passing game. Yeah, Powell is

753
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: a guy who I'd be looking to acquire right now,

754
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: or I'd want to have stashed even if you don't

755
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: need to play him right away. I think he's an

756
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: excellent chance he'll be somebody who's fans relevant in the

757
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: second half of the season. And we know that Marco

758
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: Murray's had just a ton of carries in his career

759
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: and he's getting a lot this year. So if he

760
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: does go down and some knick knack injury, what kind

761
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: of running back does Derrick Henry look like to you? Well,

762
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: I think he'd certainly be featured, and he'd be featured

763
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: on a team that wants to run the ball. He'd

764
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: be featured on team with a mobile quarterback. He'd be

765
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: featured on team. I mean, there aren't many teams that

766
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: make the running games the priority. I mean most teams,

767
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's more about the passing, it's more about

768
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback. The Titans don't play that way. The Titans

769
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: play twenty five year old football, and it's worked out

770
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 1: great for Murray. We also saw how poorly he'd fit

771
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: Philadelphia's offense. I've really murrays twenty fifteen season, just that

772
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: awful season on not fitting into the offense in Philadelphia.

773
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: And you know a lot of it on Chip Kelly,

774
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: a lot of it on the Eagles in a regime

775
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: that's not even there anymore. But I think the bottom

776
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: line with Henry is that if Murray were to get hurt,

777
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: I think we could project fifteen to twenty touches, if

778
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: not more, going forward. And there just aren't that many

779
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: guys we can say that about. We saw him flash

780
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: in the preseason. He hasn't a much sense, but it's

781
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: hard to get in the flow when you're not getting

782
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: a lot of touches. And why would they take the

783
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: ball away from Murray? Murray has been so dominant anyway,

784
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: So again, it's a guy where you can't play Henry now,

785
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: and I think he can't even hold Henry's tape right

786
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: now against him. I think he's a very high upside

787
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: if Murray were to get hurt. Now to quiz Rodgers

788
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: thirty carries in week five. Now he was on the

789
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: buy last week. What happens in week seven? He needs

790
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: Martin to be off the field. It's I don't think

791
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 1: Rogers is going to have any value if Martin doesn't play.

792
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: But Martin, Martin has been hurt. Martin's get a history

793
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: of being hurt. And this is also a team, you know,

794
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: this is the NFC South. I think he's going to

795
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: be a really fun division because nobody can play defense, specifically,

796
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: nobody can play past defense. We know what Saints games

797
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: are generally like at home, but every team has a

798
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: below average past defense here. So I think we're going

799
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: to see a lot of long games, a lot of

800
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: extended games, a lot of games with high snap counts.

801
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: And would you like about Rogers is he can play

802
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: in different situations. He can play coming from behind, he

803
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: can catch the ball, and I guess I never thought

804
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: him as a high touch guy, but they certainly treated

805
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: him that way in week five. So I think he

806
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: needs to be owned because we have to take a

807
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 1: wait and see approach on Martin. Sims is on IR

808
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: so he's out of the picture, so they may have

809
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: to come back to Rogers. I don't think they really

810
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: wanted to use him anywhere here as much as they

811
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,439
Speaker 1: did in that Monday night game. But just there's nobody left,

812
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: nobody left standing in that backfield until we know Martin

813
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: is okay, I need to have Rogers as a lottery ticket. Yeah, yeah,

814
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: I definitely agree. Now, the final backfield I want to

815
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: talk about is this lion's nest. They signed justin force

816
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: set Zack Center actually looked pretty good. Washington's gonna come

817
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: back soon. What are you doing with this backfield just

818
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: in away from it? Yeah, I'm trying to It's one

819
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: of the worst run blocking units in the league. I

820
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: go to football outsiders for their adjusted line yards. I

821
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: think Detroit is twenty ninth currently in that stat And

822
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna get Washington back, which you know he does

823
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: what Center does. They're gonna get Theo Riddick back. Now

824
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: we know he's more of a satellite player and he's

825
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: not much of a runner, but he is a running back.

826
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: I mean, he is in the mix. And I just

827
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: think this is a team that when they get in close,

828
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: is going to try to throw for their touchdowns. We

829
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,959
Speaker 1: saw yesterday that's what they ended up doing Stafford gets

830
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: the four touchdowns, and they have some big targets. I mean,

831
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: Bolden is still a physical player who could score in space.

832
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 1: And eventually they'll get Ibron back and I guess they've

833
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: gotten Golden Tape finally effective again, although you know it

834
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: was a long way because those first five weeks, man,

835
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: they felt like he wasn't even on the field. But

836
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a team that's gonna want

837
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: to throw the ball, a team that knows it can't

838
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: run block, a team that knows it has no special runners,

839
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: no special make people miss guys in that backfield. I

840
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: know the Zac Center has been really interesting as a

841
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: preseason player, and he's kind of been a deep sleeper

842
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: somebody might have taken late in the MFL or just

843
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: do late in the Dynasty League just to wait and

844
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: see player. And so you saw a little bit of

845
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: production in week six. But I just don't trust the

846
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: offensive line. There's a lot of bodies here. I think

847
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: they want to throw the ball primarily, So to me

848
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: that that's gonna People have asked me should I bid

849
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: on Center this week. I'm not going to throw any

850
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: money at him. It looks like Tyler Boyd is her

851
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: passed Brandon LaFell for the Bengals number two job boysch

852
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: means he gets to line up opposite of AJ Green.

853
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: He's a talented young rookiere. You consider him as a waiver.

854
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: Read the question there and I talked about fading long

855
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: term injuries. Is do they ever get Eifford back? And

856
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: it's been a slow wait and see with him and

857
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: he still hasn't played. I mean, if I ever comes back,

858
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: I don't want any of their receivers other than Green,

859
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: but the fifer's off the field. I mean, I'll scored

860
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: two straight weeks. I'll be at the only and two

861
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: catches yesterday. Boyd a physical receiver, prossession receiver, somebody you

862
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: would think would have a role in this offense. Man,

863
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: they look ugly right now. I mean, Jeremy Hill's just

864
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: been a spare tire the whole season. And Bernard just

865
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: an ordinary player. And I thought he was maybe a

866
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: special player when he came into the NFL. He hasn't

867
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: looked like it. Yesterday. I earned this season and they

868
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: even tried him as a goal lineback if Foxbar didn't

869
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: work at all. But they need a second option they

870
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: can rely on. Maybe it could be Boyd. I do

871
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: think Andy Dalton has been underrated most of his career.

872
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: We know how great Green is, but you need more

873
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: than one option in this game, and teams are just

874
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: going to dare you to throw it to somebody else.

875
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 1: If I had to have one, I Boyd of the Fell,

876
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: and this is more of a strike against the Fell

877
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: than I applauded towards Boyd. But I guess the upside

878
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: of the unknown, maybe Boyd is ready to do more

879
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: in the second half of his rookie year. I would

880
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: side there, but I can't say I'm really high on

881
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 1: anybody right now in the Bengals offense after Green, Andy Dalton.

882
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: I remember this time last year we were talking about

883
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: him is the MVP in the NFL. I mean, we

884
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: didn't think it was going to happen, but he was

885
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: at this point last year. And this year that's Matt

886
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: Ryan again. He's surprised just against the Seattle defense, and

887
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: I was really low on him. Do you think he

888
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: can actually keep it up? Where is it going to be?

889
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: More like Andy Dalton last year? I think he's definitely

890
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna keep it up, And we thought a couple of

891
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: weeks ago. He got up to a great start, but

892
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: it's like, well, he's going to Denver, He's going to Seattle,

893
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: and want to see what he does there. And he

894
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: was okay at Denver and that's the toughest matchup in

895
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: football right now. And then he goes to Seattle and

896
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: was terrific. And again I talked about that division. There

897
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: are no good past defenses in the NFC South, and

898
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: I include the Falcons in that mix. So it just

899
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: there's going to be so many high scoring games. And

900
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: they have a couple of running back. One of the

901
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: best friends a quarterback can have for his fantasy value

902
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: is pass catching running back, and they have two of

903
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: them in Atlanta. Obviously, Julio is terrific. You he'd like

904
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: to see a little bit more out of Sanu, although

905
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: we did score a touchdown in Week six. But I

906
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: think the Falcons are gonna need to win games thirty

907
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: to twenty seven and Matt Ryan is a very look.

908
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: I was wrong on this. I'm sure wherever I ranked

909
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: in preseason, it wasn't anywhere near high enough. And I

910
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: tried to keep both feet on the ground for the

911
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: first four weeks when he was playing terrific and I

912
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: wanted to see him prove something in the next two games.

913
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: Well he's proven it to me. I thought, actually Atlanta

914
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 1: was the better team at Seattle. They should have won yesterday.

915
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 1: We all saw the past interference that Seattle got away

916
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: with at the end of the game. It feels like

917
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: Seattle still that game. But I believe in this Falcon's offense.

918
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: I believe in Matt Ryan, and I certainly believe the

919
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: NFC sout. They just can't play defense, they can't play

920
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: pass defense. I'm gonna want to attack those those games,

921
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: whether it's Sampa Bay, Atlanta, New Orleans. I mean, the

922
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: Carolina secondary is so awful right now. I think anytime

923
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: you can get involved in those teams in those games,

924
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a lot of points. You're gonna see

925
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: a lot of passing. If that is defense isn't look.

926
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: I know they have some some solid young players, but

927
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: it's a bad defense. I think their offense is so

928
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: good that they're legitimate Super Bowl contenders. I agree. I agree.

929
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: You know the last year, remember they got after that

930
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: hot start and they totally fell on their face. But

931
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: I believe in the Falcons team. I'm doing it again.

932
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm ready to kick the football. You know, Lucy's holding

933
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: it and I'm going to kick it. But it also

934
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: it speaks to who else can you trust in this division?

935
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Caroline is dead at this point. I don't

936
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: know how they come back from this one in five

937
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: start and Tampa Bay still got a lot of holes.

938
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: And the Saints, I mean, I don't know how you

939
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: can feel good about that team. That their offense plays

940
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: well at home, but that they really don't. They don't

941
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: travel well, they can't stop anybody on defense. I mean,

942
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: I think the Falcons are going to cruise to eleven

943
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,919
Speaker 1: or twelve wins, probably have the first round by and

944
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 1: will be one of the final teams. I mean, maybe

945
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: that game with Seattle, maybe a NFC Championship preview. We

946
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: may see those two teams again in January. Yeah, I

947
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: definitely agree with that. Now, finally, I want to talk

948
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: about Marcus Mariota back to back weeks as a top

949
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: five quarterback. I know we had great matchups, but do

950
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: you think there's could this be a breakout? Is he

951
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: maybe a QB one? Now? Yeah, I'd love I'd love

952
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: to say positive things. So Marrio because I'd love him,

953
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: and when he came out two years ago with Winston,

954
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: I always thought mariot it was a better player. I

955
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: would have drafted him. I thought Tampa Bay should have

956
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: taken him. But again we talked about it earlier when

957
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about Murray and Henry. This is a team

958
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: that wants to run the ball. There's smash ball. They

959
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: have such a heavy run pass ratio and some of

960
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: the stuff he got yesterday with flute game. Yeah, I

961
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: don't know how kenvil Wright get as wide open as

962
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: he did. It's funny how Right had such a big game.

963
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: I think Jelly ran fourteen pass routes or something like that.

964
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't even really involved that much, but

965
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: he was open all day that Browns were kind of

966
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: escorting him down the field. But I just feel like

967
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: the Titans the defense is actually not that bad. It's

968
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 1: another week division where maybe nine wins might might get

969
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: to the division title. Here. I think Tennessee is gonna

970
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: want to rely on a reasonable defense on a very

971
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: good running game, and Mario just won't get the volume.

972
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna need to get very lucky with a touchdown

973
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: efficiency because he's ever going to get the volume that

974
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: some of these other quarterbacks yet, so I like him

975
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: a lot better in real life than I do for fantasy.

976
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: I almost forgot to talk about one of the most

977
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: important questions of the week is Everyone's not everyone, but

978
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people are picking up a streaming defense.

979
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: I think it's real ugly. This week. I only see

980
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 1: one defense. I like, who do you like to pick

981
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: up as a streamer? Well, I mean the first thing

982
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: we do well, at least the first thing I do

983
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: when I look at the streaming defenses that I want

984
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: a team at home, and then I want a team

985
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: against an offense that I don't trust. So maybe somebody

986
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: dropped the Bengals defense. They should probably held in a

987
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: lot of leagues, but they got destroyed against the Cowboys,

988
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: and then they didn't play well yesterday. So I would

989
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: first look to see if the Bengals were available. That

990
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: may not be an option to people. For the Titans

991
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: at home Andrew Luck, they can't seem to protect him,

992
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: He's taking a lot of sacks. I think there's actually

993
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: some value there. I don't really want to trust the

994
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: Packers a short week that that makes me a little

995
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: bit nervous. Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Titans or

996
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: the Bengals are the high end. If you get lucky,

997
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: somebody dropped them. And it seems like every single week

998
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm picking on the Rams. And if you're a Rams fan,

999
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I know I'm biased against the Rams because

1000
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm a Saint Louis guy, but I just don't see

1001
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: case Keenum repeating what he did. People are stacking the

1002
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: box against Todd gurleing. The Rams just turned the ball

1003
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: over a line. Giants defense has been a lot better

1004
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: than people expected this year. So that's the team I'm

1005
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: picking up. They're only fifteen percent owned. I'm not spending

1006
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: crazy fab on him or anything like that, not even

1007
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: three or four bucks. But that's the team I'm going for.

1008
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: I believe that the London game, which we're gonna have

1009
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: one of those long Sundays where we have to get

1010
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: up early and then we stay up late. But at

1011
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: least the Seahawks and Cardinals of the late game. But

1012
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: if there everyone was a game I would sleep through,

1013
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: it would be a game that involve the Rams. And

1014
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: what are we doing to London? We said Jacksonville there,

1015
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 1: we said the rams there are we just trying to

1016
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: convince them to never watch the NFL product and just

1017
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 1: keep watching the EPL. And yeah, over there, I think

1018
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: ibvious think we were just trying to flip off London.

1019
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: We're just trying to start another war with those guys.

1020
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: We've We've got a ton of listeners from the UK.

1021
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: Bole is really exploding over there. I can't believe how

1022
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: many people listening to the shore from the UK. That's awesome.

1023
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: You know, shows um it should also shows. I'm sure

1024
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: how popular fantasy is, how popular DFS is, how how

1025
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: popular gambling is, which is legal I believe in England,

1026
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: so that's probably part of it too. But you know,

1027
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, I guess they know what they're doing with

1028
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: I just once I want to see the Steelers and

1029
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: Patriots in London, you know why. It would be just

1030
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: the game I can be excited about, like the Seahawks

1031
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: Cardinals game. Wouldn't it be cool if that was the

1032
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: London game? That would be fantastic. I wouldn't wake up

1033
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: and watch that. As as far as it's been gone,

1034
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any of the lending games as far

1035
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: as London. Uh, you know started happens in football played there,

1036
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: just because it's never been exciting. Like he said, I

1037
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: know the Rams and Jaguar has had a contract there

1038
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: where they each had to play so many games, and

1039
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure that factored into the Rams going to Los Angeles.

1040
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: But man, that is not nice to London. Well maybe

1041
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: who knows, Maybe Beckham will have another big game and

1042
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: he'll bring us kicking neck to London and we'll have

1043
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: something with that. Maybe who knows. Maybe maybe maybe Ben

1044
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: McAdoo will install like a corner kick play, you know,

1045
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: where they get Beckham on the flank and you know

1046
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: he throws it in the box. I don't know. That

1047
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: would be awesome. Yeah, that'd be a lot of fun.

1048
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: I think they can mess around against the Rams because

1049
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: I think the Giants are just gonna shrede him next week. Well,

1050
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: Kenny britt Man, I'm telling you pick up Kenny Brittny,
