1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, September twenty seventh, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your Man, MG.

3
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant join by Michael left Florio. Today we're previewing

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football and the early Sunday games from Week four,

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: Plus we're fishing for some streamers coming up this week Florida.

6
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: Week four is beginning. So at this point we have

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: three data points for everybody around the league, so we

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: pretty much know what we're doing, right, It's a given. Now.

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: One thing is for sure. No one on the Internet

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: is freaking out one way or the other about their players.

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: Not at all. Everybody is level headed and calm and

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: rational about the whole thing. We have plenty to talk

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: about on the show today. Still to come, we are

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: giving you our fantasy heroes and previewing the entire Week

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: four slate. Let's start, as we always do, with some

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: fantasy headlines. One headline of notes, Jimmy, is anyconcussion protocol

17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: that was announced by head coach Josh McDaniels after the

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: Raiders loss on Sunday Night Football to these Steelers. Now,

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders are optimistic that Jimmy G will be ready

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: to go for this week's game against the Chargers, but

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: just in case he's not Brian Hoyer or Aidan O'Connell

22
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: waiting in the wings. How much does this impact guys

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: like Devontae Adams or Jacoby Myers.

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: It makes the floor a little bit lower, probably the

25
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: ceiling lower as well for Devonte Adams. But he is

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams. He is dropping forty points every week regardless

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: of who his quarterback is. So you want to get

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: Devonte Adams into your fantasy lineup, especially against the Chargers,

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: one of the best matchups for wide receivers. He went

30
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: over thirty points in each game against them last season.

31
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: Jacoby Myers is a sleeper that I like this week

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: is a shreaming option if Jimmy G plays, But if

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: it's Spoyer or someone else, I would get away from

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: Jacoby Myers's you know it.

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: It really sort of makes me nervous because I like

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers as a sleeper against the Chargers and what

37
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: could be a back and forth game. I feel a

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: lot better about it if it was Jimmy Garoppolo. I

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: guess the upside is that so far this has been

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 1: a very narrowly funneled passing game. It's been Adams, it's

41
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: been Myers, that's pretty much been it. So I think

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: I'd like to believe at least whoever the quarterback is,

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: if it's Garoppolo, if it's Hoyer, if it's O'Connell, they'll

44
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: sort of keep that same pass funnel going. But the

45
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: fear is that they decide to lean on Josh Jacobs,

46
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: who still not off to the best start, but maybe

47
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: starts to turn things around against the Chargers run defense.

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: So that's a look at what could be happening this weekend.

49
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: Let's look at what might be happening on Thursday night

50
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: our TNF game preview matchup in the NFC North between

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers. You can

52
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: see that game eight fifteen Eastern on Prime Video. Jamiir

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: Gibbs offso a pretty nice start so far this season

54
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: for the Lions. Let's play a little more or less

55
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: sixty five total yards for Jamior Gibbs against the Green

56
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: Bay Packers more.

57
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: I'm excited for Jamior Gibbs in this match. I know

58
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: David Montgomery could be suiting up, but last week without him,

59
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: we saw more Gibbs than ever before. A lot of

60
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: work went his way, so I'm hopeful that the Lions

61
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: will keep feeding him even with Montgomery back. And it

62
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: is a good match if the Packers are allowing an

63
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: average of one hundred rush yards per game to running

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: backs this season, plus they're in the top four and targets, catches,

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 2: and receiving yards allowed, and we know that that is

66
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: where Jamiir Gibbs can really excel on the SOFS.

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. I think it's more for Jamier

68
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: Gibbs this week. And I think even with David Montgomery back,

69
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: Gibbs is going to get a whole lot of work.

70
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: I think, especially in the passing game, Packers have given

71
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: up a lot of yards to running backs catching the

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: football out of the backfield, and even though both Montgomery

73
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: and Gibbs contribute in that area, I think Gibbs is

74
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: the guy who's more explosive. I think he's going to

75
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: get more targets and I think yards after the catch

76
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: a big part of what he's going to do. So

77
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: I say more than sixty five total yards for Jamiir

78
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: Gibbs on Thursday night against Green Bay On the Packers'

79
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: side of things, we're still waiting to see if Christian

80
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: and Watson is going to play. Green Bay is optimistic

81
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: about it. But in the meantime, which rather Romeo Dobbs

82
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: or Jayden Reid.

83
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: It's kind of a cop out answer right now, I

84
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: would rather Romeo Dobbs. He's playing in two wide receiver sets.

85
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: He seems to be their go to option in the

86
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: red zone. But I still think long term, Jaden Reed

87
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: will win out here. He is the player that I

88
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: just believe is the better talent of the two. We've

89
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: seen him put up a lot of numbers in a

90
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: very limited role so far. I'm hopeful that as the

91
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: season progresses he could get more run and maybe even

92
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: work his way into two wide receiver sets.

93
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, this week, for sure, I'm all about Romeo Dobbs.

94
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: Now it depends what, obviously what happens with Christian Watson,

95
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: but Dobbs is the guy who's getting more of the

96
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: looks near the end zone. I think that makes the difference.

97
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: In terms of a lot of the other metrics, they're

98
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: very similar between Dobbs and Jaden Reid, but that touchdown

99
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: upside is really what makes a big difference, and in

100
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: a game that again could be a high scoring contest

101
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: between these two teams, Dobbs is the guy with more

102
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: touchdown upside. I'm sort of with you, though, I think

103
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: in the long term I've been big on Jayden Reid.

104
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: I think he's got a higher ceiling, but certainly in

105
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: the short term it seems like Bobbs is going to

106
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: be the answer. Let's get now to the start of

107
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: the Sunday slate, and it starts really early, especially if

108
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: you're out here on the West Coast. A game in London,

109
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: the Falcons at the Jaguars. Jaguars are the home team

110
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: in this one, but Atlanta, you know, trying to make

111
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: itself at home. I guess. Look, with the Jaguars, it

112
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: has not been a great start to the season. Offensively,

113
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: they have been just sort of med to this point.

114
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: How are you handling the passing attack Trevor Lawrence and

115
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: all of his weapons there.

116
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: I think Calvin Ridley is still a must start option.

117
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk has been getting enough volume then I think

118
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: he is someone you want to put in your lineup.

119
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: Same thing with Evan Ingram because tight ends as well.

120
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: All three of them I believe have one hundred and

121
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: seventy three yards right now, which is pretty wild. One

122
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy three exactly too.

123
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: They're all around that.

124
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: And then Trevor Lawrence, I know he hasn't played great.

125
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: Willie's giving him another shot here. I think this is

126
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: a better matchup right now.

127
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is sort of a fringe QB one, high

128
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: end QB two. He's a guy that you're absolutely starting

129
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: in multiple quarterback formats. But he's a guy that if

130
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: you have another quarterback on your roster, you're probably looking

131
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: really hard at whether or not you want to start him.

132
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: And this is not It's not the worst matchup. It's

133
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: not the best one either. Atlanta has been decent against

134
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks so far this season. You mentioned Evan Ingram, and

135
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: this sort of caught me by surprise. Evan Ingram right

136
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: now is the tight end four, and I don't think

137
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: we've talked about that a whole lot. I mean, some

138
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: of it has to do with tight ends just being

139
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: sort of a shallow position. Some of it has to

140
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: do with the fact that Ingram has been fairly consistent

141
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: over the first three weeks of the season. I think

142
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: He is an absolute must start this week against the

143
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: Falcons defense that has not been particularly great against tight ends.

144
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: I think, as you mentioned, you start Calvin Ridley. As

145
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: for everybody else, it's sort of up in the air

146
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: whether you're starting any Jaguars pass catchers this week. The

147
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: game that could be that I think will be the

148
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: fantasy game of the week. Dolphins at Bills. These are

149
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: teams combined to score one hundred and seven points last week.

150
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: Seventy of them were on one side. Uh. I mean

151
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: it should, if very should, be an offensive showcase. Is

152
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: there anybody you're not starting in this one?

153
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: Both quarterbacks are must start. I have both Dolphins running

154
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: backs and starts this week, James Cook as a start.

155
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: Diggs is gonna go off. You're starting Hill, You're starting Waddle,

156
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: who actually had the bigger games of the Miami receivers

157
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: against the Bills last season. The Dolphins don't have a

158
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: tight end, so you can't start. Then Dalson knocks them. Okay,

159
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: getting away from Kinkaid, I think this is a sneaky

160
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: week for Kinkaid. They're gonna need someone to step up

161
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: and be like the chain mover there opposite of Diggs,

162
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: I think it will be him Dave Davis's I know

163
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: he's always boom or bust, but if there's any week

164
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: he's gonna go boom, it is this one. It is

165
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: the two highest scoring offenses, and I know the Bills

166
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: defenses on paper the best defense in football. That's largely

167
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: because of who they've played, Sam Hal, Jimmy g and

168
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson. This is going to be the hardest test.

169
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: I think this is going to be an absolute score fest,

170
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: like every game the last two, especially where last season,

171
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: you want as much exposure to the team as you

172
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: can get.

173
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: You absolutely do. The only thing that has me sort

174
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: of scratching my head a little bit is the Bills

175
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: tied end situation, just because between Dalton kin Kaid and

176
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, they have been equal, right, but they've been

177
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: equally sort of mediocre. Like if you combine them, if

178
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: they formed like Voltron, they would be an awesome tied end.

179
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: But right now they're sort of both producing about the

180
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: same level and neither one of them is all that exciting.

181
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: So that's maybe the only place that I would have

182
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: a little bit of concern. But wide receivers, running backs, quarterbacks,

183
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: everybody else in play on both sides of this game

184
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: also just interested to see what Devon a Chan does

185
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: in the as the encore, right. I mean, he went

186
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: out and score fifty one points last week. I don't

187
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: think anybody's expecting that to happen again, but you know

188
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: what happens when he plays in a game that looks

189
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: more like a normal game and not like in early

190
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: season SEC non conference matchup. So we'll see what happens

191
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: with that one coming up on Sunday. Vikings at the Panthers.

192
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: We got a little bit of an Adam Feeling revenge

193
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: game after he went off last week against the Seattle Seahawks.

194
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: Who's gonna score more?

195
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: Though?

196
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be Feeling against his old club or

197
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: is it gonna be Jordan Adison, the guy who sort

198
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: of took his spot in Minnesota.

199
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, feeling versus replacement. And if you ask me coming

200
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: into the season or even two weeks ago, I would

201
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: have been like a Jordan Addison for sure. But Adam

202
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: Feeling has really stepped up as of late, So give

203
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: me him.

204
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: I know last week.

205
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: One hundred and forty five yards a touchdown, caught eleven

206
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: of his fourteen targets, and some people might be like, oh,

207
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 2: well that was with Andy Dalton. Don't overlook that the

208
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: week prior get nine targets, seven catches, and caught a

209
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: touchdown with Bryce Young. He has looked like he's ran

210
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: away as the top wide receiver here for the Panthers

211
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: and the Vikings. They've given up the third most yards,

212
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: two wide receivers, a whole bunch of production, and like

213
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: you said, a little added motivation here because it is

214
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: a a revenge game in a week full of.

215
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: Revenge sheming potentially for Adam Feelin, I like feeling this week,

216
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: and I know on some level it feels kind of

217
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: like chasing the points after the big week he had

218
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: in Week three against Seattle. But I think the bigger

219
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: point is he's a guy who can get open and

220
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: earn targets. And one of the big talking points about

221
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: the Panthers offense after the first couple of weeks was

222
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: that they couldn't get any of their wide receivers open.

223
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: But you got a veteran guy and Adam Feelin who's

224
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: been doing it for a long time. He knows how

225
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: to earn those targets and right now he's sort of

226
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 1: the only guy that's doing that consistently. So whether it's

227
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, whether it's Bryce Young, I don't really care.

228
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: I think Feeling for the short term at least, is

229
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: the number one wide receiver in Carolina, and in a

230
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: game where they're going to have to throw the football,

231
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a whole lot of work Broncos at

232
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: the Bears mentioned the fact that the Dolphins scored seventy

233
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: points again against the Broncos. Last week, the Bears gave

234
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: up forty one to the Kansas City Chiefs. And now

235
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: these two teams get the face off against each other.

236
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: As I think I mentioned earlier in the week, and

237
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: I know our pal Matt o'catta wrote it as well,

238
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: it is the movable force against the stoppable object, or

239
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: stoppable force against the movable object. Either way, these teams

240
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: are on the struggle bus right now. Do you trust

241
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: the matchup in this one or do you avoid your

242
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: Bears like say Justin Fields or DJ Moore or anybody

243
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: like that.

244
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to trust the matchup and give my Bears

245
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: one more opportunity unless somehow you got another stud quarterback

246
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 2: on your roster. I think you give Justin Fields another opportunity.

247
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: We saw him running more last week, which I love,

248
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: But it's all about the matchup. The Broncos have allowed

249
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: the most passing touchdowns, the most rushing touchdowns, the fourth

250
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: most passing yards, and the most rushing yards in the NFL.

251
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 2: And even with this, Bears often struggling DJ Moore has

252
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: done his thing. So I think Fields and more are

253
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 2: in play.

254
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: I think that.

255
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: Herbert and Roshawn Johnson or sleepers in this one. And

256
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: while we're at this game, let's just give Russe a

257
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: little love too. Russe's in play this week. He has

258
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: been playing great himself as of late. It has a

259
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: good matchup.

260
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: I think it's It's interesting because obviously, the whole talk

261
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: about the Broncos last week was them giving up seventy

262
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: points and getting absolutely drilled, and it sort of overshadowed

263
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: the fact that Russell Wilson had three hundred yards for

264
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: the second straight game. I did have one touchdown pass,

265
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: probably could have had a couple more, had two of

266
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: them that were called back by penalty. He had Courtland

267
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: Sutton kill a couple of drives by losing fumbles, so

268
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: it could have been a slightly better day for Russell

269
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: Wilson had the guys around him helped him out a

270
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: little bit more. I know they're talking about sort of

271
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: whether or not he's the issue. I'm not sure he is,

272
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: but he might be the scapegoat in this one. A

273
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: couple other guys I like you mentioned justin fields. He

274
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: was a big part of the running game, especially with

275
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: a lot of designed runs. That's something that is noteworthy there.

276
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: Rashawn Johnson maybe a bit of a deep sleeper in

277
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: this one, just if he gets some targets out of

278
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: the backfield, can catch the football. He's getting a lot

279
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: of that short yardage, goal line area work as well

280
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: over Khalil Herbert, So if the Bears can get down close,

281
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: maybe he's able to punch a couple in. It has

282
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: some deep sleeper potential there. Ravens and the Browns. If

283
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: you want to know the definition of the word slobber knocker,

284
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: that's probably this game. A couple of teams that don't

285
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: like each other that hit very hard. I don't think

286
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be pretty, but it's going to be competitive.

287
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: So Ravens at Browns, how are you feeling about Deshaun

288
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: Watson and the Browns first two weeks were ugly. Week

289
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: three looked a little bit better. How are you feeling

290
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: about him in Week four?

291
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: Not great. I think this is going to be the

292
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 2: hardest test for Watson in the Browns offense so.

293
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: Far this season.

294
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: You mentioned that when these teams any in this division.

295
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 2: Whenever any of these teams face it is always more

296
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: of a defensive battle, hard hitting. And the Ravens have

297
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: allowed just two hundred and thirty passing yards per game,

298
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: and they're allowing five four passing yards per attempt. And

299
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: I know Watson has had two good fantasy games, but

300
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: watching him play, he does not look like the Watson

301
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 2: of bold and it's been pretty disappointing because I invested

302
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: heavily into this Browns offense. At points, Amari Cooper is

303
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: a must start option. I think Jerome Ford is in play.

304
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: I try to get away from the rest of.

305
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: My Browns this week, which I agree with all of that.

306
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: And what makes me sad is that I keep trying

307
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: to prop up Elijah Moore as a sleeper potential and

308
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: maybe he is. The reason I can sort of believe

309
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: that Elijah Moore this week is because the Ravens are

310
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: really beat up, especially on the defensive side of the

311
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: football and in the secondary, and that might give Elijah

312
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: Moore some opportunity. To this point, Amari Cooper has been

313
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: the only pass catcher you can trust there in Cleveland.

314
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: And I think what we're going to find out is

315
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: was Week three the start of the Browns offense turning

316
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: a corner or was it just because they got to

317
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: play the Tennessee Titans that Deshaun Watson and the passing

318
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: game looked good. So I think we'll get a better

319
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: clue about that after this game against the Baltimore Ravens.

320
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: In case you are looking for some quarterback help or

321
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: maybe a t or maybe a defense, We're gonna help

322
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: you out. We've got some streaming options coming up for you,

323
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: plus more of our Week four preview coming up after

324
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: the break on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. This is

325
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: about the time of the season when you got to

326
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: start streaming, guys. Maybe somebody is underperforming, maybe somebody is injured,

327
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: and you gotta find a replacement. We're calling the segment

328
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: field and stream looking at some quarterbacks, tight ends and

329
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: defenses that maybe you can pick up and plug in

330
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: in a bench. So let's start at the quarterback position.

331
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: Who's somebody that people could think about streaming this week.

332
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson And I know we talked about him a

333
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: little bit. Maybe he's not available in your league. Hopefully

334
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: you picked him up off the waiver wire already, whether

335
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: you're elevating him from the waiver wire or your bench,

336
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: I think he should be started this week.

337
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: Uh one, it's a Russell Wilson's been playing good.

338
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: Over three hundred yards and two straight games, multiple passing

339
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: touchdowns in twoit of three and as you heard Marcus saying,

340
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: it could have been much more last I love that

341
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: he showed us two weeks ago he could still run

342
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: running for fifty six yards and don't look now. But

343
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: since he's been freed of Nathaniel Hackett, he's been averaging

344
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: over nineteen fantasy points per game.

345
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: But this is all about the matchup two.

346
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: The Bears have allowed the fifth most passing yard's third

347
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: most touchdowns, and in each of their games, they've allowed

348
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: somewhere between twenty seven and forty one points to be

349
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: scored against them. You want to start quarterbacks against the Bears.

350
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely want to start quarterbacks against the Bears. I'm going

351
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: to keep the twenty nineteen vibes going and say that

352
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, at least for this week, is back in

353
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: our fantasy lives. Who would have thought. Of course, is

354
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: a contingent on Bryce Young's status, and will keep an

355
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: eye on that. But Dalton went out and looked pretty

356
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: good last week against the Seattle Seahawks, through the ball

357
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: fifty eight times. I wouldn't expect that to continue. That

358
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: was in large part because the Panthers not only were

359
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: trailing on the scoreboard but constantly behind the sticks. Eight

360
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: faalse starts meant that they really couldn't run the ball

361
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: the way they wanted to. But this week, even if

362
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: they are sort of on time with down in distance,

363
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: the Vikings have been giving up a whole lot of

364
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: yards in touchdowns to the quarterback position. The Panthers, even

365
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: in the best of times, have struggled to run the football,

366
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: So this could be another week that they rely on

367
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: the arm of the red rifle. If you need a quarterback,

368
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: or if you're a two quarterback league, Andy Dalton could

369
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: be the guy for you. Tight ends always tough. I mean,

370
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people out there who are

371
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: living that streaming tight end life, regardless of what their

372
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: draft strategy was. Who's a tight end that they can

373
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: pick up and play this week?

374
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 2: Luke Musgrave on Thursday night against the Detroit Lions. He

375
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 2: was a top ten fantasy tight end last week. Caught

376
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: six of his eight targets for forty nine yards and

377
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: just under eleven Fantasy points. But what I love is

378
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: the opportunity that he's been getting the eight target stands out,

379
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: he's been leading the Packers and routes ran, he leads

380
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: their pass catchers in snaps played. And now he gets

381
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: the Lions, who've allowed by far the most catches and

382
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: yards to the tight end position. And I know I

383
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: made that case for Kyle Pitts against his line team

384
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: last week. He didn't have a huge game, but combined

385
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: the Falcons tight ends gave you over seventeen Fantasy points.

386
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: That's a good output for a tight end.

387
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely a good output for a tight end. I think

388
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: he's kind of been Sam laporta lte. He's actually run

389
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: more routes or at least it has a higher route

390
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: participation percentage a higher target share too. So far, so

391
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: I like Luke Musgrave. I also like Gerald Everett friend

392
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: of the program, and it hasn't been a great start

393
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: to the year for him, mostly because it seems like

394
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: every time they get close to the end zone, Donald

395
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: Parham shows up and takes away his touchdowns. But when

396
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: it comes to routes and targets, it's effort that's leading

397
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: the tight end position there for the Chargers. Now we'll

398
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: see what happens with Austin Eckler. He was back at

399
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday, and it is pushing to play. But

400
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: even if he does play, a lot of that short

401
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: area yardage that the Chargers want to use in the

402
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: passing game, I think it's gonna go to Gerald Everett here.

403
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: So as long as we can just get him some

404
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: targets near the end zone, I think everything's going to

405
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: be fine. The Raiders have consumed instantly struggled against the

406
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: tight end position, Justin Herbert has carved up the Raiders

407
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: in his career. So a lot of targets, I think,

408
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: a lot of completions, and I think a few of

409
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: them hopefully go to Gerald Everett. Squeakyheel gets the grease, Gerald,

410
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: go complain, Maybe they'll get you a touchdown or two.

411
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: This week h looking at defenses to stream.

412
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: Who do you like the Cincinnati Bengals going up against

413
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans. So far this season, the Titans have

414
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: taken thirteen sacks, that is tied with the Bears for

415
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: the second most in the NFL, and they have three

416
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: interceptions thrown just one passing touchdown all year. I don't

417
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: think you have to worry a whole lot about them

418
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: lighting up the Bengals, and Joe Burrow is struggling himself,

419
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: this could be a low scoring affairs. So I'm streaming

420
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: them in a number of places. I think you guys

421
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 2: should do the same.

422
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: The Titans offense has been shockingly bad to start the season.

423
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: I love the Bengals call right there. I'm gonna go

424
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: with the Seattle Seahawks and the Giants are not maybe

425
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: the soft target as an offense that some other team are,

426
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: but they do turn the ball over a lot and

427
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: they have given up some sacks with Daniel Jones there.

428
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens if Sae Kwon Barkley is

429
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: able to play, but the Giants offense has not really

430
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: been able to be consistent this season. An interesting game,

431
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: I think at Mett Live Stadium coming up on Monday night.

432
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: But if you are really in a pinch and you

433
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: need a defense to start, think about the Seahawks is

434
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: one you can plug in against Big Blue Back. Now

435
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: to the rest of our game previews. We got the

436
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Steelers and the Tech Sims, and we've loved the Houston

437
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: passing game the first three weeks of the season. Are

438
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: Nico Collins and Tank Dell both in play this week

439
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: against the pretty good Pittsburgh defense.

440
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 2: I think so, and I know people might be like,

441
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: but you have CJ. Stroud as a sit and I

442
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 2: write in the article to me, this is a big

443
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 2: test for CJ. Stroud because he's going to be playing

444
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: under a lot of pressure, I think. But if he

445
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 2: plays well in this game, then I think you have

446
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: a weekly starter on your hands. But the difference is

447
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 2: there's a big difference between a quarterback and a wide receiver.

448
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 2: At wide receiver, we start thirty six forty eight players

449
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: potentially at that position, and the upside is too high

450
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: to get away in my opinion. From Tank Dell, who's

451
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: given you over twenty Fantasy points and two straight Nico Collins,

452
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 2: who gave you over twenty in each of the first

453
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 2: two games. I would keep riding with the wide receivers

454
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 2: even if I don't feel great about the quarterbacks.

455
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: I know people are probably disappointed because Nico Collins didn't

456
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: provide much last week. I think that's the nature of

457
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: wide receivers and Nico Collins. We're not expecting weekly justin

458
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: Jefferson type production. Right. They are going to be highs

459
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: and lows with Nico Collins. There are going to be

460
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: highs and lows with Tank Dell. But the way the

461
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: Texans offense has operated the first three weeks of the

462
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: season suggests both these guys were very much in play.

463
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: So if you have one of them, I think you

464
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: can start them with confidence, even against the Steelers. Look,

465
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: the Texans have consistently been playing from behind. That's why CJ.

466
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: Stroud has thrown the ball one hundred and twenty one

467
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: times so far this season. So both of those guys

468
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: very much in play. This week rams at the Colts,

469
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: we thought the Colts are going to run the football,

470
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: and they've done that well. They've done it with Zach Moss.

471
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: They've done it with Anthony Richardson when he was healthy.

472
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: What we didn't expect was that they were going to

473
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: throw the football pretty effectively. Michael Pittman Junior off to

474
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: a good start. Does that mean he's a must start

475
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: right now?

476
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: I had Michael Pittman Junior as a fade coming into

477
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: the season, and.

478
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: I was very wrong on that.

479
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's a must start option right now.

480
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 2: He's giving you at least thirteen fantasy points in every game.

481
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: He's gone as high as twenty three points seven. He

482
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 2: right now is a top ten fantasy wide receiver. So

483
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: I think at this point in the season, we kind

484
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 2: of need to forget what some of our thoughts or

485
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 2: biases whatever we're coming into the season and just look

486
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: at the numbers. And Michael Pittman Junior has proved a

487
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: whole lot of people, myself included wrong.

488
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: I was with you right there too, And it wasn't

489
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: about Pittman as in his ability. We just thought the

490
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: offense wasn't going to be suited to throwing the football.

491
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: But so far it has have really heavily targeted Michael

492
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: Pittman in this one. It's to the point now that

493
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: even a guy like Josh Dallens is starting to get

494
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: become popular off the waiver Wire. I think I've picked

495
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: the downs up in a couple of leagues in the

496
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: last week or two, so the passing game has become

497
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: better than we anticipated in Indianapolis, and Michael Pittman at

498
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: the moment is your wide receiver ten and should be

499
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: in a lot of starting lineups. Bucks at the Saints,

500
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: you mentioned this is a week four revenge games. Jameis

501
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: Winston a chance to get some against the team that

502
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: originally drafted him. Maybe even bigger though, for the Saints.

503
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara is back after serving a three game suspension.

504
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: What do you expect for Number forty one in his

505
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: season debut.

506
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 2: I'm expecting pretty big things. I am starting Alvin Kamara

507
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: everywhere I have him, which is quite a few leagues.

508
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: I know the Bucks run defense on paper looked really

509
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 2: tough coming into Week three, and then DeAndre stiff gunn

510
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: for a Buck thirty. The Eagles went for over two

511
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,120
Speaker 2: hundred as a team. Part of it, I think is

512
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: that they faced Alexander Madison and then the Bears the

513
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 2: first two weeks. I know the Bucks run defense is

514
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: still good though, but Alvin Kamara, there's too much volume

515
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: up for grabs. There he is ten career touchdowns against

516
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 2: this team. He knows them very very well, and given

517
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: the state of the running back position, Marcus, I think

518
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 2: like he's a welcome addition into a lot of people

519
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: starting lineups.

520
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: Go ahead and plug me. I drafted him in a

521
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: lot of leagues hoping I could just cobble something together.

522
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: For the first three weeks, I am itching to start

523
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara. You talk about the struggles a lot of

524
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: people are having at the running back position. I would

525
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: say these struggles these Saints have are running the football

526
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: through three weeks. Their leading rusher is Taysom Hill with

527
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: ninety one yards. I don't think that is what they

528
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: want to happen. That means, I think you're gonna see

529
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara get fed a little bit. I'm also hoping

530
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: that Jameis Winston, in addition to throwing those yolo balls,

531
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: mixes in a few dump off because Kamara's a lot

532
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: of his value comes from his ability to catch the

533
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: football and what he does as a receiver. So hopefully

534
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: Jamis does not forget that part of the Saints offense

535
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: as well. Commanders and the Eagles. Sam Howell came crashing

536
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: back to Earth with four interceptions against the Buffalo Bills

537
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: this past week, and at some point you start to

538
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: look around. We talked about Jahan Dotson and how we

539
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: can't really start him until we see something. Even Terry

540
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: McLaurin has not been particularly great. Any commanders you feel

541
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: comfortable starting against this ferocious Eagles defense.

542
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to get away from all of my

543
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: commanders except for maybe Terry mclauren if possible.

544
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: This week.

545
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: I have Dotson as a sit. I have Brian Robinson

546
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: as a sit. This is a game where I think

547
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: they could be scripted out and the Eagles have been

548
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: the toughest run defense in the league. I'm still gonna

549
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: start Terry McLaurin where I have him reluctantly a little bit.

550
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 2: I think they will have to throw the ball in

551
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: the second half playing catchup. Terry's been the only one

552
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: that has kind of been reliable for Fantasy. But Sam

553
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: Howe man nineteen sacks through three games, a lot of turnovers.

554
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: It's at the point, Marcus, where I am calling for

555
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 2: a Jacoby Brissette sighting.

556
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: Maybe in Washington. I think a lot of people are

557
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: wondering when Jacoby Brissett is going to step in ya.

558
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: How was okay the first two weeks. Week three was awful.

559
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: I will say this, if you want a sneaky and

560
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: this is a deep sleeper play, I wouldn't recommend it

561
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: for everybody. Maybe Antonio Gibson. Maybe this is when the

562
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson thing finally happens. Last week against the Bills,

563
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: he had his highest snap count that he's had all

564
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: season long because the Commanders were in catchup mode having

565
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: to throw the football. Now, it didn't necessarily translate to

566
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: a huge game for him, just seven receiving yards lose

567
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: a fumble, But I think the opportunity is going to

568
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: be there because I do expect the Commanders to be

569
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: playing from behind. So Terry McLaurin in play and if

570
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: you were feeling dangerous, maybe Antonio Gibson as well. Bingals

571
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: at the Titans, you talked a little bit about that

572
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: in terms of streaming defenses. But let's look at the

573
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: Bengals offense, because in the second half they kind of

574
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: got some things going against the Rams. But Joe Burrow

575
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: was kind of to watch for most of the day.

576
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: What are you doing with Burrow and what is a

577
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: great matchup on paper.

578
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know the Internet might not love this answer

579
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: for me, but I'm sitting Joe Burrow if I have

580
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: the capabilities of doing so. He has not topped sixteen

581
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 2: Fantasy points in a single game this season. He's averaging

582
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: eight point nine per game. He's completed one deep ball

583
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 2: two touchdowns in three games so far. He just has

584
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: not looked right. And I know on paper they give

585
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 2: up a lot of pass game production, but they also

586
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: get a lot of pressure a little bit above league

587
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 2: average right around with the Browns get way more than

588
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: the Ravens and Rams get his other two opponents. So

589
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: that has me scared. And it's one of those situations,

590
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 2: Marcus where I think Chase and Higgins are bust candidates

591
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: this week, but at least one of them will probably

592
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: have a good game. That's what we've seen kind of

593
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: week to week out of these two. So I think

594
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 2: you have to still start the wide receivers, even though

595
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 2: I am saying to sit the quarterback.

596
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: I think all of that makes sense. But I'm going

597
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: to live dangerously and try to believe in Joe Burrow

598
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: this week. I guess it's more believing in the matchup

599
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: than Burrow because the calf is going to be a

600
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: problem for a while. I think the best thing that

601
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: you got out of last Monday's game was Burrow coming

602
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: out of it saying, hey, look, there was no damage.

603
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: There's no significant damage. It's not worse than it was before.

604
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: So he's gonna have to continue to try to fight

605
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: through it as much as possible. So I'm just sort

606
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: of believing that even a hobbled Joe Burrow can get

607
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: something done against the Tennessee Titans. Now, if it doesn't happen,

608
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: then I do think we have to have a real

609
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: serious talk about what you're doing with Joe Burrow on

610
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: a weekly basis. But this week I'm willing to give

611
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: him a chance and believe he can get it done

612
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: against a very beatable secondary. That'll do it for this

613
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show, Stay happy, safe

614
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: and healthy, do good, and live well. We'll be back

615
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: tomorrow to preview the rest of the week four matchups. Wow,

616
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: cou't Bob, don't help
