00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: and there's plenty of them. Today, we start with the

14
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, who places running back? Then Tate on injured reserve.

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: Take tweeted out quote, hate to end my season like this,

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: but it just wouldn't be smart for me to keep

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: playing after reinjuring one of my ribs that's trying to heal.

18
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Take in the contract year. So how much fat do

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: you like Dennis Johnson for this week? Now? I like

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: Dennis Johnson, especially if you're in a PPR lead you

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: here that this is a team that's gonna be behind

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: against Denver Broncos he's gonna be a featured back. I

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: would go out and pick up DJ and play him

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: as a flex. Yeah, dude, a little different. Dennis Johnson,

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: the one that played for the Celtics and Tay I've been,

26
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, really expecting this for weeks. He's had bad

27
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: ribs for about seven weeks now. Yeah, he's been. Yeah,

28
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: that's the thing is he's been playing really banged ups.

29
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: His production was cutting again. He's looking for a contract

30
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: after this season, so playing getting hurt's not gonna And

31
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: he's a physical runner. Totally different deal, all right. Speaking

32
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: to physical runners running back Adrian Peterson back at practice

33
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, Vikings head coach Leslie Fraser says he expects

34
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: Peterson to play this week. This is very simple, and

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson plays, He's in your lineup. It's been nice,

36
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Toby Gerhardt, it's been nice. Not nice, Matt, But Adrian

37
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: Peterson is the guy. He plays. He plays for you.

38
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: This normally is not a question, but it is because

39
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: it's championship week. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers limited in practice Wednesday,

40
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: but still not medically cleared to play coming off his

41
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: columbone injury. So, Elliott, he's Aaron Rodgers, but he hasn't

42
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: played in a while. It's championship a week. If he

43
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: plays for the Packers, does he play for you? That

44
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: is such a difficult question, but I'm gonna say yes.

45
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: At home against the Pittsburgh Steelers, I would play Aaron

46
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: Rodgers if you need him. Aaron Rodgers has proven time

47
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: and time again that he has a fantasy machine. Michael,

48
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: you play him, I'd play him unless I had Nick

49
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: Foles or Jay Cutler or Philip Rivers. Well, you're not

50
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: gonna have Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning, but a quarterback

51
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: that you could have picked up off the waiver wire,

52
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: then I would play one of those three guys over

53
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. But otherwise, some of the family leagues he's

54
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: in with, he's got Luck, Manning and Rogers, and it's

55
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: a three team all quarterback league, and that's what I'm at.

56
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: Cardinal Star wide out Larry Fitzgerald held out of practice Wednesday.

57
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: Butt Head coach Bruce Arian said Fitzgerald is expected to

58
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: play in the team's Week sixteen matchup against the Seahawks.

59
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter of sundays

60
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: overtime win against the Titans while attempting to recover an

61
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: non site kick fabs Yes or no Fitzgerald. If he plays,

62
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: can you trust him? Boy? I don't trust anyone in

63
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: that Arizona cardinal. Read this week against Seattle where fantasy

64
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: points going to die. You probably have to play him

65
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: as a two or three if he is active. Because

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: he is Larry Fitzgerald. He's probably drafted as one of

67
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: your first or second wide receivers. But this is a

68
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: nasty matchup. I think you look at your running backs.

69
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: If you've got three good backs or at least three

70
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: decent backs, and Fitzgerald doesn't make your lineup, your fear

71
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: in championship week, you should have good enough wide receivers

72
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: that you'll be okay without him. And we're gonna talk

73
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: to Roshart Mintenhall later in the show, and I'm gonna

74
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: ask him about Larry Fitzgerald. On to the New York Giants.

75
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: Now wide out Victor Cruz missed practice Wednesday, recovering from

76
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: a concussion and knee injury he suffered last Sunday against

77
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Tom Coughlin said Cruise his knee quote will

78
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: probably prevent him from doing anything. Doesn't sound optimistic for

79
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Cruise playing this week. So fat when it's Reuben Randall

80
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: anybody else? Can you trust any of the Giants? But

81
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: has Victor cru has been playing? Know it? Because he's

82
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: done nothing, the same as Eli Manning and Reuben Randall

83
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: and it Ke Mix and if he the Andre Brown

84
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: and Phil mcconckey. None of those guys are putting up

85
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: any kind of numbers. I don't trust any Giants none.

86
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: Who took David Wilson in our experts league in the

87
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: second round? Yeah? Stop. Bill's quarterback ej Manuel has been

88
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: ruled out of this weekend's match against the Titans due

89
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: to a knee injury. Fed Lewis gets the start this

90
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: week against the Dolphins. Fabs last time ej Manuel or

91
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: last time Fed Lewis just seven fantasy points against the Dolphins.

92
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: So what does this mean? Well, you gotta go with

93
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. This is a very good streaming defense. Remember

94
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: in three games where Lewis started this season, he had

95
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: five turnovers and he was sacked thirteen times. So the

96
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense, which is readily available on the waiver wire

97
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: now a very good streaming watching. I completely agree. The

98
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: only problem there is that it's a road game, but

99
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: I still I would overlook that and still play the Dolphins.

100
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: Doesn't affect any of the other Buffalo Bill's weapons list,

101
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: spiller Fred Jackson. I don't know that that pass attacks

102
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: gonna be at pcent regardless of Stevie Johnson. So you're

103
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: looking at Fred Jackson and maybe that's it. I think

104
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson is a flex play at best, and you

105
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: don't play any other Bills. Moving on to the Houston

106
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: Texans now they have other news as well. They're going

107
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: back to match Shop at quarterback case Keenum has been

108
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: ruled out with the sprain thumb on his right hand,

109
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: his throwing hand. First thing, Elliot, let let's let's talk

110
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: about this. You're not picking up Matt Job and playing

111
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: him this week? No, No, I mean there are some

112
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: of our viewers that are in deeper leagues or two

113
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: quarterback leagues. I do think Matt Shop is gonna be very,

114
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: very motivated to perform this week because he knows his

115
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: career right now is hanging in the balance. After the

116
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: way this season has gone, and look at who they're playing.

117
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: Matt schob is gonna have to air it out. You

118
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: want a bold prediction, and I'm not telling people to

119
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: pick up and start match job. He's gonna have a

120
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: lot of yards in that game. They score fifteen to

121
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 1: twenty points for fantasy owners. I'm not saying to play him,

122
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: but that game will really really line up as one

123
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: where he's got to throw it a lot later. Does

124
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: this make you trust Andre Johnson? Maybe DeAndre Hopkins a

125
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: little more? DeAndre not so ch. I mean you're gonna play,

126
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: You're playing whoever the quarterback is, right, and I think

127
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: it's besides the quarterback. I think what FABS is saying

128
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: is you're looking at the matchup and what the Texans

129
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: are going to have to do. That's what you said

130
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: about Dennis Johnson. That's why he's a PPR start. They're

131
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to throw the football right. So yes, I

132
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: do trust Andre Johnson, but not so much because of

133
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: Matt shop and you know how well they get along.

134
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: Then one other quick note, the Saints released kicker Garrett

135
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: Hartley Tuesday picked up Shane Graham. Hartley missed two field

136
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: goals Sunday against the Rams just twenty two out of

137
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: thirty on the year. So keep tabs on this. You

138
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: can start Shane Graham if you had Garrett Hartley, start

139
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: Shane Graham, it's the same. Novak is a really good

140
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: play this week. Feel Dawson is a really good place. Hey,

141
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: well we get into Shane Graham. We really give advice

142
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: on the show. I mean we leave no stone unturned

143
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: man very good for more no stone unturned advice. Let's

151
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: at your board. Kirk Cousins, Matt Castle, Matt Flynn, Fred Jackson,

152
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey, Rod Streeter, Dennis Pitted, Laney Walker in the

153
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: lines defense. Let's start with Kirk Cousins twenty plus fantasy

154
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: points on Sunday and this week, he gains Dallas that's

155
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: allowed the most fantasy points per game to a quarterback

156
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: this season. They have and this is a fantastic matchup.

157
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: I think sneaking suspicion, Michael Fabiano, they hit on this

158
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: match up a few times. Before this show is over.

159
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins looks fantastic last week against the Falcons, had

160
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of a slow start, but picked it up,

161
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: started to look good. He's played very well in his

162
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: limited opportunities, and as you mentioned, he's blowing up against

163
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: a Cowboys defense that has been flat out on good

164
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: all year long. Cousins with five passing touchdowns and just

165
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: two career starts in his own If you were than

166
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: five percent of leaves on NFL dot Com, he is

167
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: still out there. If you need a quarterback, go get him.

168
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano really enjoyed ripping the Giants as well. How

169
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: about them Cowboys fabs. Buffalo running back Fred Jackson faces Miami.

170
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: The Dolphins allowed a hundred plus rush yards and three

171
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: of their last four games against the Bills. I like

172
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: Fred jack In a little bit going in this week

173
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: is a sleeper just because he has performed well against

174
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins in his career. Now you get the news

175
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: that EJ. Manuel is out, fad Lewis is in. I

176
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: look for the Bills to lean on that running game

177
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I know they've gone with a

178
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: two headed attack, but fred Jackson has been the more

179
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: consistent of the two. Played well against the Dolphins in

180
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: Week seven and eighty five scrimmag yards and a touchdown.

181
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: Maybe not quite that much, but I think he has

182
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: a very productive day. Let's stay in the backfield. Eddie

183
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: Lacey has been on a tear six rush tds in

184
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: the last eight weeks, sid for first in the NFL,

185
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: for first in the NFL, and going up against a

186
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: Steeler run defense that has had plenty of problems all

187
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: season long. Eddie Lacy any and more scrimmage yards in

188
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: six straight home games. You mentioned how well he's run

189
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: the football. Six rushing touchdowns in his last eight weeks,

190
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: four rushing touchdown or rushing touchdown in four of his

191
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: last five games. I should say Eddie Lacy really vuying

192
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: for Rookie of the Year honors, and I think he

193
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: has a big week against the Steelers. One of those

194
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: under rated tight ends to Laney Walker with a favorable

195
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: matchup in Jacksonville. Very favorable matchup against Jacksonville this week.

196
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: See nine A Moore targets in three of his last

197
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: four games, quietly moving up the ranks of tight ends.

198
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: It's a position that has been up and down all

199
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: season long. If you're needing help, there the Lady Walker

200
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: a guy who might be a sneaky play for you.

201
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: In Week six, Team Marcus Way to get through all that,

202
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,080

Speaker 1: Genius at NFL dot com slash genius. And one of

227
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: the hottest trending names right now is Alex Smith, coming

228
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: off that five TV performance much thanks to Jamal Charles.

229
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: What are your expectations for him this week against the Cult,

230
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: Marcus Well, I don't think he's going to duplicate. I'm

231
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: going out on him. He's not going to throw five

232
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: touchdown passes this week. You can can write that down.

233
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: I think he's he's a decent start. There are a

234
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: lot of guys better around him better than him out

235
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: there this week. I think you get in the neighborhood

236
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: of around seven teen forms or so. How far did

237
00:10:53,679 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 1: those five touchdown passes actually travel through the year? Gets so?

238
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: I think the way to beat the Colts is to

239
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: run the football on them. Go attack that front seven.

240
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: I like Kansas City. You played a little closer to

241
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: the vest I like Alex Smant to get eighteen point

242
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: one fantasy points. If you're in your championship week, I

243
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: think you can do better than that at quarterback. This

244
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: isn't a normal week. You want more than eighteen points

245
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: this week? Eighteen point one? Very specific, Elise. I love

246
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: your attention to detail. My favorite things about myself added

247
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,920

00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: Rivers nick Foles? Oh, okay, do I robots here. Better

Speaker 1: start Sean Jennings versus the Charges are Zack Stacey against

256
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: the Bucks. Sean Jennings, Zack Stacey? Who will be Championship

00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: probot voice? Where do you drop? Ray Rice? Third round?

259
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: Fourth round? Rich rookie will hit a sophomore slump? None

260
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: of them? Lean Bell? Better start Dennis Pitta or Jordan Cameron.

261
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: Better start Kirk Cousins against the Cowboys or Tony Roma

262
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: versus the Redskins. Tony Roma, Kirk Cousins, Can you guys

263
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: smile or add something with conversation? Better flex Michael Crabtree

264
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: against the Falcons or Riley Cooper against the Bears. Michael Crabtree,

265
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree, concur, Who's mustan this week? Stephen Jackson? Concur?

266
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: Can you trust Ryan Fitzpatrick or Matt Flynn in Championship Week?

267
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: Neither neither. I'm molly. Better start j Cutler versus the

268
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: Eagles or Russell Wilson versus Cardinals on this one, you know,

269
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: like you look at these two guys and you never

270
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get with. Okay, he's playing the Eagles,

271
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: but that could be a total shootout, and then Russell Wilson,

272
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they could end up just pounding the rock

273
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: with Mark Sean Lynch. You know, Russell Wilson is a

274
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: guy who's he's he's kind of the new hotness right

275
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: now and everything's going coming up Roses and Seattle's coming

276
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: to Russell in Seattle. But uh, you know, I think

277
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the guy who just came back,

278
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler. But when we were talking in the news

279
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: room the other day, I just couldn't decide which one.

280
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: And I've decided Russell Wilson. All right, I think I've

281
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: lost control of the segment. Good stuff, gentlemen, we almost

282
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: got through all of them. Thank you very much. Appreciate

283
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: that that was engineered to win, presented by Volkswagen. Now

284
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: for some weeks, sixteen Sleepers with third over to Adam Rank. Adam, Hey, everybody,

285
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: Adam Rank here, and every week I give you eleven

286
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: sleepers who can help you win your fantasy week. You

00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: can check that out on Thursday at NFL dot com

288
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: slash Ranks eleven. But said, you guys seem so cool,

289
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you ten right now, and let's take

290
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: a look at the list. As you see a number

291
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks in case you have been shuffling in your quarterbacks,

292
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: and of course some running backs. Danny Woodhead could help

293
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: you out this week. Martellis Bennett tight end, Chuck Clay

294
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: some good options there. Let's go to the quarterbacks and

295
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, who has played pretty well when he's been

296
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: given the chance. And now he's got the Cowboys who

297
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: have allowed the most fantasy points to quarterbacks this year.

298
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: In fact, the Cowboys have allowed thirty touchdown passes this season.

299
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: That's good for a second highest total in the NFL.

300
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: And oh man, this is such a great matchup for

301
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: the resiments. It reminds me of the season finale last

302
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: year between these two teams and spoiler alerting place in

303
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: case it's still on your DVR. It didn't end well

304
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Let's move on to receiver and the Titans.

305
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: Kindle right, he's got the Jags this week, who have

306
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: allowed the ninth most fantasy points to receivers over the

307
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: last month. The Jags have allowed at least two receiving

308
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns in five of the last six games and he's

309
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: got fits. Magic Fits loves him so much. Light has

310
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: been targeted thirty four times in the last three weeks.

311
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: And now, if you need a tight end, let's say

312
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: hello to Zach Miller. The Cardinals have allowed the most

313
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: fantasy points the tight ends this year. In fact, they've

314
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: allowed five touchdown receptions of tight ends over the last month.

315
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: If you've been forced to play the tight end roulette,

316
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: make sure the number stops on Zach Miller this week.

317
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: So I think you need one more, you need one more?

318
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: All right, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. Go

319
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: to nfl dot com slash ranks eleven this week you

320
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: will find the quarterback I am going to be starting

321
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: over Tony Romo this Sunday. And until then, see it

322
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: when I see it, see you what I see. I

323
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: always need one more rank because I'm greeting when we returned.

324
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers has had a fantastic fantasy season. What better

325
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: way to end it than with a match up with

326
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders during Championship Week. But he's not the

327
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: only one with a tantalizing matchup. The Cardinals have been

328
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: in fuego, and one of the major reasons why has

329
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: been the playoff running back for Shard Mendenhall. He joined

341
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: to NFL Fantasy Live. Michael Fabiano Elliott FABS was here

342
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: just before the segment cackling because he got a guy

343
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire. If you think this guy doesn't

344
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: play to win every week, literally, he's cackling that he

345
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: got Dennis Johnson. Dennis Johnson off the waiver wire. I

346
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: just wanted people to know that about you. He's giddy.

347
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: Seven championships not too shabby. Speaking of the Perfect Challenge,

348
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you fans a head start this week

349
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: by having our experts here reveal their picks, and clearly

350
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. So FABS kick us off

351
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: your quarterback this week, Peyton Manning. It is Peyton Manning,

352
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: and who else would it be. Coming off a bad game,

353
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna be salty against the Houston Texans,

354
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: who have two wins. Elliott, I believe they had two wins.

355
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: Two wins. Peyton Manning is the best quarterback play this week.

356
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: He Nick Foles is up there too. Philip Rivers is

357
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: up there as well. It's not going to be cold.

358
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: It's going to be just right for Peyton Manning to

359
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: put out big fantasy points. Payton Manning forty seven past

360
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: tds this season, thirteen more than any QB. Let's go

361
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: to the running back position, Elliott. Shady McCoy has a

362
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: hundred plus scrimmage yards in five straight games. This WEEKND

363
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: get shy Town. Yeah, I'll tell you what you know.

364
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: The nineteen forty two Bears have the record for stopping

365
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: the run. I think the Bears this year could use

366
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: some of that personnel. They probably could awful against the

367
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: are terrible over a hundred and fifty yards a game,

368
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: allowed seventeen touchdowns. If I were a fantasy Michael McDonald,

369
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: I would say, there you go, fabs. Joel Charles has

370
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: been on fire eighteen plus fantasy points in four straight games,

371
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: and I've said he knocked me out of the expert's

372
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: league last week with fifty one point. Going to try

373
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: and sing Michael McDonald, that's all Ellie Harrison. But Jamal

374
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: Charles has become the best running back in fantasy football.

375
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: In any Reds offense. You gotta start this guy in

376
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: the perfect challenge. There's no doubt about it. But I'll

377
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: tell you something I do like Shane McCoy as well.

378
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to wide receiver Calvin Johnson. Not only does

379
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: he have an action figure twelve receiving TVs this season,

380
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: most among wide receivers Illiott. Yeah, well, he played about

381
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: as tall as an action figure against the Ravens. He

382
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: did not have a good game, and that's why I

383
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: like him as a perfect Yeah. I get it. Calvin

384
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: Johnson is a great player. He's the best receiver in

385
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: pro football. But here's the thing, he's gonna be all

386
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: sorts of ticked off about his performance. He knows that

387
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: that offense runs through him, and he's got a good

388
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: matchup in the Giants. I like him this week. I

389
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get twenty five points or more. Calvin

390
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 1: Johnson pretty good, so is Josh Gordon. He's been one

391
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: of the biggest surprises in Fantasy this year and the

392
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: most Fantasy points among wide receivers over the last four weeks.

393
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: About Dalvin Johnson is great, but Josh Gordon. Man get

394
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: him his own action figure. He's been the best wide

395
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: receiver in Fantasy. No. I want an action figure for

396
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon, and this is a great matchup against Jason

397
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: Smith's Jets, who are just awful against the past this season.

398
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: Gordon's going to put up a big number this weekend,

399
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 1: both in perfect challenge and for fantasy owners will were

400
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: in their championships. I know what I'm getting fabs for

401
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: Christmas Elliott loving Davis. He has a great matchup against Atlanta.

402
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: Or receiving t d and five straight games. Yeah, well,

403
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: you just stole my trivia question. I was gonna ask

404
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: fast what you just said. Or receiving touchdown at five

405
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: straight games? You do, and it is a great matchup,

406
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: as you mentioned the Falcons a secondary does not play well.

407
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Vernon Davis has got Michael Crabtree back.

408
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: And that's important because with Crabtree, Bolden and Vernon Davis

409
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: together as a triumvirate. Try saying that word twice fast.

410
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: I won't try. There's no better tied end to start

411
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: in fantasy this week. I know you're thinking Jimmy Graham,

412
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham, tough Matchupam, and it's tough. I'd probably go

413
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: with Graham. But Vernon Davis, you right there, right, Let's

414
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: go to the defense. How about the Seahawks defense. They're

415
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: taking on Arizona fifteen takeaways in their last three home

416
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: meetings against the Cardinals. Two reasons I like, Well, you

417
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: just gave me a third reason why I like Seattle.

418
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: Number one what Molly said. Number two, they're at home.

419
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: This defense is unbelievably tough, impenetrable at home. And number three,

420
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer's the quarterback in the Arizona Cardinals. He's been

421
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: better this year, but he still throws the ball to

422
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: the wrong team too often. The Seahawks aren't going to

423
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: feast on some red bird this weekend. Number One through

424
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: three should have been what Molly said. That was your

425
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: best already forgot what you said. Defense. She throw out

426
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: some sixty takeaways. That's pretty good. Alright, guys, let's take

427
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: a look at your full line was for this week,

428
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: and we'll start with you. Michael Fabiano looking pretty good

429
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: to me, my friend. They're very close with what Harrison

430
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: has done where Dennis Johnson is not there, but he

431
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: will be a sleeper this week potentially. I love Stephen Gustkowski.

432
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm putting Jimmy Graham in there. And again, the Seahawks

433
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: defense is a great kind. I'll tell you the guy

434
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: I like on FABS list series, Stephen Gastowski. Tom Brady

435
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: not good against the Ravens. Their drives are gonna bob down.

436
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: I think Gastowski has five fields really close here. Yeah,

437
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: we are our lineup so very similar. I took the

438
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: other kicker in that game, Justin Tucker, who's been outstanding

439
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: this year FABS, maybe the best kicker in pro football.

440
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: I like the Seahawks defense too. We do have a

441
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: couple of differences. I don't think you had Sean Jackson.

442
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: I did not. I had Josh Gordon, but Shawn's a

443
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: good play too. Yeah, you gotta like that match of

444
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: Eagles and bearras I do and um I like you

445
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: for the bachelors really coming up. You're so those to

446
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: a fantasy championship you can almost taste it. Why are

447
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: you looking at me like that? But one wrong move

448
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: can mean second place next. Michael Fabiano is just what

449
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: you need to take home gold as he reveals all

450
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: his starts and sits for weeks sixteen and later, we

451

00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: have to tell you'll never be more than friends with Parker.

00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: ballant that like the leaking off, everybody. Welcome back to

461
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. Jason Smith here alongside Fantasy Hall of

462
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: Famer Michael Fabiano. Every Wednesday, he reveals all his big

463
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: stars and sits for the weekend. With no sons of

464
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: anarchy this week, you had some extra special time to

465
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: look at your list. I'm still depressed that Tara is dead. Spoiler,

466
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: it's been a week spoiler. Too bad. All right, here's

467
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,479
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano's big starts and sits a quarterback four weeks sixteen.

468
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: Not spoiling anything by telling you these are the guys

469
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: to get in your lineup. Colin Kaepernick, Jake Cutler, Andy Dalton,

470
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins a huge sleeper against the Cowboys. If you

471
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: are in need. With Philip Rivers fans, we get questions

472
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: about it. It's like it's been the Philip Rivers here

473
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live. No doubt about that. One of the best

474
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: bargains in Fantasy football or the best waiver wire pickups.

475
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: And this is a great matchup against the Raiders. They've

476
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: given up the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks over

477
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 1: the last four weeks. And this is the same team

478
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: that gave up seven touchdown passes Nick Boles. They gave

479
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: up see points of Jamal Charles, most of it on

480
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: catches from Alex Smith, who also had a bad game.

481
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: So I had a good game. This is just a phenomenal,

482
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: phenomenal opponent for Philip Rivers. He's right there in my

483
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: top five. All right, Matt Ryan as a sit this week.

484
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: What a disappointment. Ever since he lost to Juleo Jones,

485
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has not been the same quarterback and this

486
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: is an awful matchup on Monday Night against the Niners.

487
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: They have allowed the second fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks

488
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: over the last four weeks. Matt Ryan is someone who heck,

489
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: at this point you can put him on the waiver wire.

490
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: You definitely don't want to start waive Matt Who thought

491
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: we'd be saying that Championship week the very unpredictable the

492
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: NFL can be. Let's move on to the running backs now.

493
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: FABS start and sit recommendations for Week six team DeMarco Murray,

494
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: who's been having a phenomenal season for the Cowboys. Ryan

495
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: Matthews just needed everyone to stop believing in him, and

496
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: now here he is standing up and playing like I

497
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: told you I was the curse. Jordan Todman, who had

498
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: a big week last week, a big sleep alert against

499
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee FABS. Here's Alfred Morris, he struggled lately put the

500
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: football on the ground. But you like him this week?

501
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: Look at his track record against the Dallas Cowboys five

502
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns and three career games, And did I mention he's

503
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: playing the Cowboys. There's bad against the run, They're bad

504
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: against the past, They're bad and specially they're bad all

505
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: over the place. Alfred Morris, despite the fact that he struggled,

506
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: needs to be in your starting lineup this week. Remember again,

507
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: he's playing the Dallas Cowboys. Contrary to popular belief, c J.

508
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: Spiller has not changed his name to c J. Spiller Sit.

509
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: It just appears this way in a lot of different boards.

510
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: And people might look at this matchup and think it's

511
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: favorable against the Dolphins, but they've actually allowed the second

512
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: Hues fantasy place of running backs over the last couple

513
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 1: of weeks, he has no touchdowns and six of seven

514
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: career games against Miami. I trust Fred Jackson more than

515
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: I trust c J. Spiller, and c J. Spiller needs

516
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: to be on your fantasy pine this weekend. Will you

517
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: start Fred Jackson? I have him as a flex in

518
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: one of my leagues and I will play him there. Spiller, No,

519
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: thank you? All right, let's move on. To the wide receivers. Now,

520
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: if you're starting to see a theme emerge here, when

521
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: you see who Michael Fabiano is recommending, we're gonna talk about, Yes,

522
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, Yes, Antonio Brown, Yes, Mike Wallace, who came

523
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: up with a big week last matchup. Kendall writes a

524
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: great sleeper Jacksonville hundred and fifty yards and twenty targets

525
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: last week. He's easily the guy there. I love starting

526
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: him this week. But here's Pierre Garson fabs and I

527
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: forget who does he play this week? He's playing the Cowboys.

528
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: And now people may know this, I'm a Cowboys fans,

529
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: and I'm not just killing the team that I don't like.

530
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: It pains me to say this, but they're awful defensively.

531
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have allowed the third most fantasy points to

532
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the last two weeks. Earlier in Week six,

533
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: Pierre Garson had a career high a season, I excuse me,

534
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: fifteen targets against the cow Folkes. You can start virtually anybody.

535
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: I don't know about the tight ends, but you can

536
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: start virtually anybody in that top tier per position against

537
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: this Dallas Cowboys defense. I'm starting Art month this week.

538
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: I like that. That's good, all right. Larry Fitzgerald, though

539
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: he's got a concussion issue this week, you say, regardless,

540
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: he's a sick. Bad matchup in Seattle, where fantasy points

541
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: to go to die. They have allowed the fewest fantasy

542
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: points per game to wide receivers this season, no touchdowns

543
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: and wide receivers in the last four weeks, and in

544
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: his last two games Larry Fitzgerald three catches nineteen yards

545
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: against the able nineteen yards total in two games against

546
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Very bad matchup the tight ends. Now we're

547
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: gonna see Rochel Fabiano says, get in your line up

548
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: this week, says yes on Jason Witten, Yes on Jordan Cameron,

549
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker, Zach Miller, a nice sleeper against Arizona, Sit,

550
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleaner, sit Greg Olsen, Dennis Pitta. Fab's he's the

551
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: waiver wire find of the last couple of weeks that

552
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: I been good. Kee tabs on Jordan Cameron by the way,

553
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: because he's dealing with the concussion. But Dennis Pitta has

554
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: got a great matchup against the Patriots. They have allowed

555
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: the fourth most fantasy points of tight ends over the

556
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: last four weeks and the last time he played the

557
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: Patriots five catches, fifty yards and a touchdown. That was

558
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and twelve. Dennis Pitta could save

559
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: your fantasy season if you needed to tight end. I

560
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: know he didn't put up a good number last week.

561
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: He was good the week before. The Lions are tough

562
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: on tight ends. The Patriots they are not. It took

563
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: me ten weeks to figure out, Oh hey, now now

564
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: I guys save him My season is Dennis pitt because

565
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna have that good lad He was the top

566
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: seven guy year ago, especially down the stretch. Greg Olson

567
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: though not a top guy for your day. I know

568
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: that Greg Olsen has been one of the top tight

569
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: ends in fantasy football, but keep this in mind. The

570
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: States have allowed the seventh years fantasy points to his

571
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: position on the road, and earlier this season, back in

572
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: Week fourteen, also had four fantasy points. So he's a risk.

573
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: He's a guy that you may have to start because

574
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: you've been riding them all year. But I played pit

575
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: over him. There's no doubt about that. Olsen comes with

576
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: some risk. This weekend, Jason right now, Simon to have

577
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: some fun because we love streaming. Like a minute, we've

578
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: been having fun the whole segment, but but this whole

579
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: but streaming defense with you, it's a lot of fun. Thanks.

580
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying that. I think he's just saying that.

581
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: But we do love to stream fantasy defenses. That's one

582
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: of our favorite things to do. So some best defenses

583
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: you can pick up and start this week. We'll begin

584
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: with the Lions, who are hosting the Giants, and they

585
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: get shut out again and Eli Manning just likes to

586
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: throw the ball to the other team. Jason, the Lions

587
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: defense is a fantastic start, a top five starting fantasy

588
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: this week. The g Men are just dreadful on offense.

589
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz is banged up. They're not gonna be able

590
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: to run the ball with Andre Brown because the Lions

591
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: are so good against running backs. Eli Manning is gonna

592
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: sit back and throw the ball at the Lions more

593
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: than a couple of times. And they're available in a

594
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: lot of leaks. Jason. The Rams defense is someone fat

595
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: as we say, boy, it's too tough a matchup to play.

596
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: Then and then they come up with a huge week

597
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: like Day did a week ago and they're at home.

598
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: When they're at home, this defense is nasty, but it's

599
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: like the Seahawks to a lesser degree when they play

600
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: at home. They're so good. They're playing against the rookie

601
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,959
Speaker 1: quarterback and Mike Lennon. I would start the Rams defense

602
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: as a top ten option in Championship week. You gotta

603
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: love it. Another defense that you could probably still pick

604
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: up on the waiver wire. All right, there you go,

605
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: all Michael Fabiano's recommendations. He and I are as close

606
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: as Tony Romo and the Cowboys fans still the color. Well,

607
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: there are no fantasy guarantees in life. One thing you

608
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: can take solace in it is a very favorable matchup,

609
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: right and time for the championships, the best fantasy matchups.

610
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: When we returned this is NFL Fantasy Live. I thought

611
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: you were gonna say, Jessica Simpson, they handled up the

612
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: bend it all going for the corner into the end zone. Touchdown.

613
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: Luck back to throw. Here's something touched up bomber the

614
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: past four FitzGeralds open us Floy to the end zone.

615
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: He's got it. He may go ten five touchdown Arizona Cardinals.

616
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it's a cool little rip right there.

617
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: And it's nice to see the Arizona Cardinals playing for

618
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: something to December. They're nine and five, they're trying to

619
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: capture one of those wild card spots in the NFC.

620
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: And one of the heroes of last week, Cardinals running

621
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: back Richard Menenhall, joins US twenty two touches last week.

622
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: And I should tell all of our audience Rochard, that

623
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: you were pulling your shirt over your biceps. You didn't

624
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: want all our viewers to though that you were just

625
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: completely jacked with those up. I get tested enough by

626
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: the NFL, so I'm gonna those up. And you you

627
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: went beard no mustache, which is always a cool look. Look, man,

628
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: you have been a big part of the offense the

629
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: last three weeks. I mentioned the twenty two touches. You've

630
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: been averaging almost nineteen the last three weeks. You seem

631
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: to be a bigger part of the offense. Is this

632
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: what you expected when you came to Arizona. Oh yeah, definitely.

633
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: And you know, I think our offense as a whole

634
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: is taking off our base offense and the base run

635
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: game and just kind of um, we're finding a balance

636
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: between passing and running and um, inside running and outside running.

637
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: So long, I I like the way we're going in

638
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: the direction we're going on offense. Well, I'm glad you

639
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: mentioned the inside and outside running because Andre Ellington has

640
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: been getting on the field quite a bit. It seems

641
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: like though you're used in short yardage when the team

642
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: gets close to goal line. Is that your number that's

643
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: being called? Yeah, definitely, I'm in that package of Jack's package.

644
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: That's something I've done over my career. But um, I

645
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: think it's just I've been great the way BA has

646
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: been using me and Andre just to kind of um,

647
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: you know, through wrenches at defenses and kind of keep

648
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: the pace changing. And you never kind of you don't

649
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: even know what to expect. Well, you know, coach Arians

650
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday that he expects Larry fits your old to play.

651
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald is synonymous with the Cardinals franchises. He still

652
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: the jumping off point for the Cardinals offense. Yes, he

653
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: definitely is. You know, he's our leader out there in

654
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: the field, him and Carson. But just what he brings

655
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: to the team, what he means to to this city,

656
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, and and uh, you know, we expect him

657
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: to be out there and and you know this whole

658
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: team right behind him. Well, the guy has stolen him

659
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: the football. Carson Palmer's had a really nice season. He's

660
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: on pace to surpass his career high in passing yards.

661
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: What are you seeing from Carson this season? As the

662
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: as the year has gone along, As the year is

663
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: going along, um, you know, you can tell he's getting

664
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: more comfortable with the offense and and not just him,

665
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: just the time and with the receivers and just um.

666
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: You know, this is this first year everybody being in

667
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: this offense, so we're starting to jail together more and

668
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: the offense is taken off because of it. I think

669
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: early in the year, you know, is everybody's kind of

670
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: trying to feel it out and understand the concepts and

671
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: understand what be a wants. Um, We've been taking off

672
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: this year with with him leading the charge and and

673
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: the offense week after week, it seems like a improven. Look.

674
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: I've been bragging about your offense, but clearly you have

675
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: a tough defensive matchup in the Seattle Seahawks. What have

676
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: you seen on tape from those guys um across the board?

677
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: You know the number one defense in the NFL, and

678
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: across the board they have playmakers and uh from the

679
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: front seven to the to the back half of DBS

680
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: and linebacker. So you know, it's a tough challenge. But

681
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: for us, you know, we focused on on what we're

682
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: able to do, and we know we have playmakers as well,

683
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: and we're confident in offense, so we know if we

684
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: play to the level we're capable of playing, then uh,

685
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, we feel like you can win carries a

686
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards and five touchdowns for you this week.

687
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: That's what I'm hoping. Yeah, that sounds good, but I

688
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, people who got me fantasy leave,

689
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: like Kate promise that. I don't know what's gonna happen,

690
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: but it sounds good right now. We wish you great luck.

691
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: The nine and five Cardinals. Rochard Minhall, thanks for coming

692
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 1: on the show. I appreciate you having it all right,

693
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: Jason take it over. Thank you, Elliott. Jason Smith here

694
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: alongside Michael Fabiano and Marcus Grant. Guys and Cardinals have

695
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: been tearing it up lately, but they got the Seattle

696
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: Seahaw this week. Can you play Mendenhall or Andrea Ellington.

697
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: There isn't one member of the Arizona Cardinals I would

698
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: play this weekend with any kind of confidence. That includes

699
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: Lar Fitzgerald, that includes men at all who's played extremely well.

700
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: But this defense in Seattle Marcus is just plain nasty.

701
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: They've given up the third fews fantasy points to running

702
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: backs overall the last four weeks. I want nothing to

703
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: do with anyone in the Cardinals jersey this weekend. Absolutely

704
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: if he had to, Ellington, or meant at all, if

705
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: you absolutely had to, if I absolutely had told, probably

706
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: be Mendenhall, just because he gets the bulk of the

707
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: carry's there. He's the one who is seeing most of

708
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: the touches back there. But I'm with FABS, I stay

709
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: away from both of those guys. Okay, Now, while Mendenhall

710
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: and Ellington face a tough task heading up to Seattle,

711
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna now take a look at the other end

712
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: of the spectrum, some players who you like, who have

713
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: favorable matchups this championship weekend. So FABS, let's kick it

714
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: off with you. DeMarco Murray an incredible matchup on Sunday. Now,

715
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: I haven't said too many good things about the Cowboys

716
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: during the course of this show, and I won't, but

717
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: I love DeMarco Murray. He's got a great match up

718
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: against the Redskins. They've allowed the second most fantasy points

719
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: the running backs at home this season, and they have

720
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: been brutal, brutal against the run. And look at DeMarco Murray.

721
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't know why the Cowboys don't give this guy

722
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: the ball more than the second half. It would only

723
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: make sense to me, But I'm not a head coach

724
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: or a general manager. DeMarco has been in one of

725
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: the five best running backs in fantasy football over the

726
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: last four weeks, scoring over seventy seven combined fantasy points.

727
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: Give him the ball, Jason Garrett and let him run

728
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: with it. Fantasy owners start de Marco Murray for the

729
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: first time ever. I'm gonna say this phrase, Ryan Matthews

730
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: could bring you a fantasy championship. Ryan Matthews did totally

731
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: bring you a fantasy championship, and even Michael Fabiano is

732
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: back on board. But one thing about Ryan Matnews I

733
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 1: guess the two things about Ryan Matthews that had plagued

734
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 1: him for injuries and putting a football on the ground,

735
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: he just curbed both of those things this year. Then

736
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: on top of it, you get to face the Raiders

737
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 1: this week. And even if you take away the eleven

738
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: d million points they gave up to Jamal Charles last week,

739
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: the Raiders have given up about twenty two points to

740
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: fantasy running backs over the last three weeks. Ryan Matthews

741
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: has quietly been one of the best running backs in

742
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: the NFL this year. I think he has a huge

743
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: you can Week sixteen. One of the worst things in

744
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: fantasy fabs is to see your superstar have a horrendous

745
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: matchup during Championship Week. Luckily for Antonio Brown, that's not

746
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: the case. Antonio Brown might be a no brainer, but

747
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter here is that I want

748
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,479
Speaker 1: to tell people to stick with your studs. Nine times

749
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: out of ten, that made starting Antonio Brown against the Packers.

750
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: They've given up seven receiving touchdowns over the last three games,

751
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: and Antonio Brown has four receiving touchdowns in his last

752
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: three games against the NFC. This is a big game

753
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: for Ben Roethlisbergner, a nice game for Levian Bell, and

754
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: a very nice game for Antonio Brown. The same thing

755
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 1: for Antonio Brown can go for Josh Gordon absolutely can.

756
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon was a guy who last week a lot

757
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: of fantasy owners were panicking because he didn't see a

758
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 1: lot of targets early on, had a big touchdown catch

759
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: late always reminds you. Garbage points still challenging with the

760
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: Browns and Jets the way they've been playing gainst four

761
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: quarters of garbage time and that one. Josh Gordon should

762
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: have a huge day against the secondary that has really

763
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: struggled all year long. And that's putting it kindly. Thank

764
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: you appreciate that. Don't be afraid to pick up or

765
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: start Andy Dalton this week. He has a phenomenal matchup.

766
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: I know he's up and down, but everything goes in

767
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: his favor. He's playing at home where he has eleven

768
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns his last three home games, and he's playing

769
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: against the Vikings thirty two passing touchdowns allowed. That's the

770
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: most in the NFL. They're giving up the most fantasy

771
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: points to quarterbacks over the last month. Fats, if you're

772
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: ever gonna play Handy Dalton, this is the week. I

773
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: love this play. I love this matchup for owners who

774
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with Aaron Rodgers, who have

775
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 1: lost Robert Griffin, the third Dalton, And don't forget about

776
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins either. He's playing the Cowboys. Both have great matchups.

777
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: Can you believe it? Kurt Cousins and me and a

778
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: guy like Anny Dalton can bring you a championship? Who

779
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: you won with Matt Moore a couple of years ago. Hey,

780
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: I didn't even mention that. Here's our guys with favorable

781
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: championship matchups. Don't forget about Philip Rivers. You're playing against

782
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders. And I would start Dan Fouts this week

783
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: if I could against the Race. Really, I wouldn't get

784
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasies. Might get some good arm strength.

785
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: Why not? He's probably announcing a game somewhere all right,

786
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: coming up next. We know commitment can be a scary thing,

787
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: but it's time to man up because for those of

788
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: you and keeper leagues, a big decision is looming. Who

789
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: hold onto and who to cut ties with. We break

790
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: it all down when NFL Fantasy Live returns and found

791
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,239

Speaker 1: Philip Rivers the big nominees there Fantasy Bucks of the

811
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: Year on Tuesday. They should call this the C. J.

812
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: Spilling Memorial Fantasy Bus of the Year. Febs Richinson was

813
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: a pretty big bus tonight. I think it was worse

814
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: than spilling. On Wednesday, we move on and give away

815
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: to the Fantasy Rookie of the Year, Eddie Lacey is

816
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of votes, Elliott, But you like

817
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen I do like Keenan Allen man. The guy

818
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: has played great for the Chargers down the stretch. But

819
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: it's tough not to give it to Lacey given the

820
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: position he plays. Fantasy sophomore in the year. Josh Gordon

821
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: looks to be the favorite what he's done over the

822
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: last few weeks. And don't forget he missed the first

823
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: two games of the season and he was on the

824
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: trading block. We got to the trade deadline. I mean

825
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: in real life and NFL football, he's on the trading block.

826
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: Then Friday is the big one, Drew Brees, Jamal Charles,

827
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: Peyton Nanny, who is the NFL Fantasy Live Player of

828
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: the Year. After last week we had to edit one

829
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: out and put Jamal Charles in. So I can't believe

830
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: we took Kenny Britt off the list. I really thought

831
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: he had shot. It was tough, but we had to

832
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: You know well and pay him that is. It's awesome.

833
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: What take home? I know, I hang around with Molly

834
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: Caram too much. We've got that Connecticut accent a thing

835
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: going on. Now. With the fantasy season nearing its clothes,

836
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend it forward to next year now and

837
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: talk about some players fans might want to think twice

838
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: about when it comes to keeping them in keeper leagues now, Normally,

839
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: Arian Foster fabs as a slam dunk. I'm keep an

840
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: Arian Foster year to year. But with the injuries uncertainty,

841
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: do you keep Arian Foster? I'm still keeping him unless

842
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: you were lucky enough to draft someone like in Eddie

843
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: Lacy or some young running backs. Foster, to me, is

844
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: still a very talented back with some gas left in

845
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: the tax. Seven years old. Bent Take's gonna be gone.

846
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: He's a free agent, unlikely to come back from Houston.

847
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: I don't know who the coaches are gonna be there

848
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: for the Texas next season, but I do know that

849
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: Arian Foster will remain the centerpiece of the office. You

850
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: just need to make sure you keep tabs on his

851
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: rehab and his recovery from this back procedure. He didn't

852
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: become a regular running back until he's got plenty of gas.

853
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: C J. Spiller does he have gas left? Elliot or no?

854
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: Is he does? Just think on empty? I know, I

855
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: think his take is faut. I just think it's not

856
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: used on many road trips. You know, look c J.

857
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: Spiller and the top ten this year and pretty much

858
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: everyone's draft. You need more than a hundred and sixty

859
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: two carries from your tail back for him to be

860
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: at first round pick. Otherwise he's more of a DeMarco

861
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: Murray type whose coach takes him out of the game

862
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: when he shouldn't. But that's a whole another debate. Let

863
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: me tell you c J. Spiller has never been the

864
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: focal point of an offense. I e. Thirty carry guy

865
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks told me about that from his college days.

866
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: And remember Spiller was a bust until last year and

867
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: now he's a bust again. Who do you often see

868
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: on the on the field for the Bills at running back?

869
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: It's Fred Jackson, especially when you're down on the goal line,

870
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: it's Fred Jackson, a guy you haven't seen on the

871
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 1: field much this year. FABS is Percy Harvin, but does

872
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: his talent planning this offense. Is he worth keeping next year?

873
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: You wouldn't see him on my keeper league unless I

874
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: am keeping five players somewhere in that area to injury prone.

875
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 1: There's too many good young wide receivers who have emerged

876
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: around the National Football League, like a Josh Gordon, like

877
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: a Alshon Jeffrey, and believe me, there are a lot more. Yes,

878
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: Percy is a guy who is talented and can help

879
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: fantasy owners. But what's that quote you always say, Harrison,

880
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: a player's best ability is available, and he has not

881
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: been available very often. All right, Doug are not available

882
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 1: this season, Elliott. We found out this year every running

883
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: back except for Doug Martin plays pretty well. Jason, do

884
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: you like numbers? I love numbers? All right, me too.

885
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: Mike James average four point nine yards per carry, Bobby

886
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: Rainey average four point three, Doug Martin three point five.

887
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: That's not good. Look, we have one year of Doug

888
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: Martin of seeing him play well. I'm not saying he

889
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: can't come back and be a good player next year,

890
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: but I think first round is a little high. This

891
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: coming from someone who drafted David Wilson, so I should

892
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: probably be quiet. But there's no way you take Doug

893
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: Martin the first round of me fats. I still think

894
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: he's a decent keeper because he's young. He's a young player,

895
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: but you have question marks about him now after this

896
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: past season. Ye all right, Let's move on now to

897
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: some players who have emerged this year and whether or

898
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: not we think they're keepers who are here to stay

899
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: or just one year one hit wonders, Nana ninety nine

900
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: left balloons And we're gonna start with Elliott And how

901
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: much you like Captain Kirk and Nick Foles. I like

902
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: them bos. You know, nick Foles may not have Captain

903
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: Kirk's uh, but Nick Foles definitely could play. And let

904
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: me tell you what Nick Foles does have is he

905
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: has Chip Kelly, who's gonna be back next year. There

906
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: to alloping young players. Riley Cooper played well this year

907
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: in the mid season, Zach Ertz the young tight end.

908
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: This team has got the parts round of course of

909
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: Shawn McCoy has been one of the best players in

910
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: fantasy this year. I like Nick foleson The great thing

911
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: about Folds is he doesn't have a lot of turnovers,

912
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 1: which means you don't get the dreaded minus two He's

913
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: a Cooper. He's a Cooper in a keeper. Cooper is

914
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy. Now you guys know I always have my

915
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: Fantasy man crush list. I'll give you a little preview, Iteen,
