Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show where the breakfast

3
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: burrito was probably a bad choice. It's me and rand

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: MG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f. Florio and Lapwan Jones.

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: I didn't well, okay, I did get the breakfast breedo.

6
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: I only ate half of it because I knew eating

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: a whole.

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: Thing would be a bad choice.

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, absolutely better breakfast choices please.

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: You know, but a little like, okay, I gut as

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: is there like is there a condiment of choice for

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: burritos for you guys?

13
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: Yes?

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 4: I'm not eating burritos much these days.

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: What Nope, listen, come on, I'm still getting into the

16
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 3: la culture.

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 5: Man. I just don't I get it if you're like,

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 5: I'm not a big breakfast burrito guy, but just burrito

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 5: in general.

20
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: Just how many times are we gonna have this show

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: derailed by Lakwan free takes? Like?

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: How how does I didn't? I didn't think do.

23
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 5: You eat Cadz like? I love case?

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 4: I make him at home.

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, it's just a Mexican grilled cheese sandwich. Yeah,

26
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Like why wouldn't you. Okay, I didn't really, I really

27
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: didn't mean for this to happen. Let's get this is

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: the answer. Yes, also Verde very very good. A little

29
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: bit of chilula also helps as well. We're gonna go

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: through our Week seven calls, the tops and the bottoms

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: and everybody in between as well. But let's get started

32
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: with a few fantasy headlines. A really notable one, Molik

33
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: Neighbors has returned to practice after missing the last couple

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: of games with a concussion. Florida, you have been the

35
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: biggest Melik Neighbors champion on this show. I mean, look,

36
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: we all like Thelak Neighbors, but Florida you have been

37
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: a next level Milik Neighbors.

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: Stand.

39
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's as simple as if he plays, you

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: are starting him.

41
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not wearing it, but I could pull a

42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 5: LaQuan and bring out a dope T shirt as well. Yeah,

43
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 5: I have. Every team that I have Malik Nighbors on

44
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 5: the last three weeks have all started the same by

45
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 5: me pushing him into my starting lineup and hoping that

46
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 5: I don't need to remove him, and this week I

47
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 5: don't have to. So yeah, he's a must start option.

48
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: I really have gone by the premise that if I

49
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: put my players in the lineup and then hopefully that

50
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: makes them magically healthy.

51
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: It is yet to work, but I'm gonna.

52
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 4: Keep I do that too. I just did it with

53
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor.

54
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: Right, it's me.

55
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: It's me expressing a vote of confidence in my guys

56
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be ready to go for the week.

57
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: That's all it.

58
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: In Indianapolis, things not so clear. The Colts backfield dealing

59
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: with some issues. Jonathan Taylor did not practice on Wednesday.

60
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 1: There were reports on Thursday morning that he's not sure

61
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: if he will practice this week, but he does say

62
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: his ankle is feeling better. Mean while Trey Sermon dealing

63
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: with an injury of his own Lakwan, The Colts went

64
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: out and signed Savon Ahmed. U If Savon Ahmed plays,

65
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: do you start him? I mean, it just seems like

66
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: right now the Colt I guess we're just waiting for

67
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, right, is that the answer? We're just keeping

68
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: our fingers cross that Jonathan Taylor can play.

69
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, that's the answer. Just got a minor turn.

70
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: They don't know if he's going to practice this week.

71
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: And it's kind of frustrating because we need him out

72
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: there man to get the best you know, points on

73
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 3: our rosters, and I don't want to go and pick

74
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: up another guy off the street trying to put him

75
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: in my starting lineup, because I don't think that would

76
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 3: be really productive.

77
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: You know.

78
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 3: And I know they got Miami and the match is

79
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: probably in his favor, but I still would like to

80
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: pivot to their options if I can, because we've been

81
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: going for this long without Jonathan Taylor, so I'm sure

82
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: people have gone out there and got their replacements.

83
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: So just stick with your replacements.

84
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Jonathan Taylor come back one because

85
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: he's very good at football, but also because my one

86
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: of my team names is Jonathan parentheses Taylor's version, I

87
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: really need him to play just so I can keep

88
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: going with that team name down in Tampa. Equally, Murky

89
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: with the running back situation, Todd Bowles saying that looks

90
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: like he's gonna go with a three man backfield of

91
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: for Shad White, Bucky Irving, and Sean Tucker, and they

92
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: are going to ride the hot hand. Florio, Please tell

93
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: me if there's a scarier phrase in fantasy football, then

94
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: ride the hot hand.

95
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: In that case, who do we trust if we can

96
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: trust anybody.

97
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 5: There is no scarier words for a running back in fantasy.

98
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 5: And it's even worse when it's three backs. Like when

99
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 5: it's two and it's like, all right, we're gonna go

100
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 5: with whichever one is running better that week, it's like,

101
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 5: all right, we could still take a shot because it's

102
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 5: a fifty to fifty chance it'll be that guy. But

103
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 5: when it's three, you're talking about it being an absolute

104
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 5: nightmare for fantasy. The one I trust the most is

105
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 5: Bucky Irving because he has been the best, like, like Marcus,

106
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 5: you were saying this before we started recording, like he

107
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 5: has consistently been the best one of this bunch. I

108
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: know Sean Tucker had the big game last week, but

109
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 5: week by week, Bucky's been there and he's been getting

110
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 5: goal on work for them. He's been getting the he's

111
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 5: the lead guy, and when it comes to carries for

112
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 5: them and Rashan White, what propped him up last year

113
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 5: was volume and specifically targets, and if he's not getting that,

114
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 5: it's gonna be real tough for him to be useful

115
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 5: in fantasy. And Tucker is still someone that I think

116
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 5: there's upsite there. I definitely would be willing to put

117
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 5: him on my rosters, but I kind of want to

118
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 5: see what this three back committee looks like before I

119
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 5: get him in my lineup.

120
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just you know, again, I think we all

121
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: sort of agreed, like Rashaan White really hasn't been the

122
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: guy there, Bucky Irving was pushing him for opportunities, then

123
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: Sean Tucker has the blow up game last week, and

124
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: now the Bucks, I guess are seems like an open

125
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: audition in the backfield to see who's gonna get the

126
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: majority of the opportunities.

127
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: And until we have any sort of clarity.

128
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: On things, it's gonna be really really hard to sort

129
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: of figure out, you know, what's what, and just again

130
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a mess. We'll see what happens this week,

131
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: and then we'll kind of make some adjustments once we

132
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: get a better idea of how things are gonna go there.

133
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's get a two hour look at week

134
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: seven some of our superlatives for the week.

135
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: We will start as we always do with Club Dub

136
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: the guys.

137
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: We can go to the top score non quarterback edition

138
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: and Lakwan, who do you like to go big in

139
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: Week seven.

140
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm going big in the Tennessee mosh fit that

141
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: they got going on there with Tony Pollard against the

142
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills.

143
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: Your muffs, Glorio, But yeah.

144
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 5: I think you agree.

145
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: You already know, you already know what's gonna happen. But

146
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard has been producing beyond expectations with this Titans

147
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: oh line. They have not been the greatest O line

148
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: out there, but being that, he's just been so explosive

149
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: and lurioal touched this own in previous prob This is

150
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: what we wanted from him last year, but we're getting

151
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: it now and I'm very thankful, you know, for the

152
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 3: shares that I do have. But this is a matchup

153
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: where I think he's gonna go big. He's always been

154
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: these last couple of weeks where he's right there at

155
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: that one hundred yard mark, where he's right there at

156
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: that big twenty point you know, game for fantasy. So

157
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: it's like, I think he gets it this week. So

158
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: I'm rolling to the club with Tony Pollard.

159
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: I love Tony Pollard.

160
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: I put him in the Sleepers column this week, and

161
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: I sort of debated, like, should he go in the column.

162
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: Not because I didn't think he'd have a good game,

163
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: because I'm like, does he really qualify as a sleeper.

164
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he does, But I just wanted

165
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: to write about him because I think he's gonna have

166
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: a big game. I'm your guys, I think he's gonna

167
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: have a really good game. Also, I sort of wanted to,

168
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, repair my bruised ego after like, you know,

169
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: going not all in but going big on Will Levis

170
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: last week and him letting me down. So I'm like,

171
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: I got to redeem myself. We're gonna talk about Tony

172
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: Pollard Florio. I'm not disagreeing with you, but you're going

173
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: with the guy who is arguably the best receiver in

174
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: the NFL right now.

175
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I look, I don't even want Justin Jefferson this week.

176
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 5: I want Jettis right.

177
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: Like, that's who we be.

178
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 5: We need the chains and the grill and all of

179
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 5: that swag that he brings, because this is a week

180
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 5: where he should absolutely eat And I don't think this

181
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 5: is just a good Justin Jefferson week. Like I think

182
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 5: this is his best game of the year so far

183
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 5: and potentially could be the best game of his season

184
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 5: when we look back at the end of the year,

185
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 5: because in his last three games against the Detroit Lions,

186
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 5: he has averaged one hundred and eighty five yards per game.

187
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 5: He is a touchdown in two of those three games.

188
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 5: The Lions have been getting torched through the air this year,

189
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 5: and now Hutchinson is out, which obviously doesn't help like

190
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 5: a receiver per se, but it does help Sam Darnold

191
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 5: get more time to find Justin Jefferson and locate him

192
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 5: and stuff like that. So I think what is going

193
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 5: to be a high scoring divisional matchup. Justin Jefferson could

194
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 5: go for two hundred plus in this one. I think

195
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 5: he's going to score over twenty five Fantasy points top

196
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 5: scorer of the week, and like I keep saying, maybe

197
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 5: his best game of the twenty twenty four season this week.

198
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: That game's going to be really fun between the Lions

199
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: and the Vikings, a big deal obviously, and what is

200
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: a very competitive NFC North Division, but looking forward.

201
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: To keeping an eye on that one.

202
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Both of those are really good answers, but the correct

203
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: answer this week is Saquon Barklay going against the New

204
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: York Giants in a game going against the owner who said,

205
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: if Saquon goes to Philadelphia, I'm going to have trouble sleeping.

206
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: I would imagine that John Marra is going to be

207
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: a raging insomniac after this week because Saquon is going

208
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: to run all up and down the field. He's going

209
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: to run the football, He's going to catch the football.

210
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: I do sort of appreciate Saquon trying to downplay it,

211
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: and you know, like there's no hard feelings and in

212
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: him saying that, I think the fans have forgotten about it. No, Saquon,

213
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: the fans have not forgotten about it, not even a little.

214
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: You haven't even played against them yet, like you, they

215
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to see you in person in

216
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles colors. No, they have not forgotten about it.

217
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: You were going to hear about it when you step

218
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: on the field, when you touch the football. I don't

219
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: think it's going to matter. It is going to be

220
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: the fuel to his fire this week. Saquon is going

221
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: to have an enormous game against the Giants.

222
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 4: I could be so many Saquon Barkley jerseys in that stadium.

223
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of lot of twenty six

224
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: is if I both colors. Yeah, you're probably right, both

225
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: colors in that stadium coming up this week.

226
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: But he's going to have a I was a huge game.

227
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 5: I was in New York the day that he signed

228
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 5: with Philly, and the first thing I did was turn

229
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 5: on the fan, like local radio there sports talk radio,

230
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 5: and my god, was it entertaining. So yeah, there's a

231
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 5: lot of hard feelings in this wood.

232
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like, I don't think it's gonna be a

233
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: big It's gonna be a huge deal, says and believe.

234
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: All right.

235
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: So Week seven red flags the guys that we should

236
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: be aware of this week, Laquand who's got you nervous?

237
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 5: Uh?

238
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: Jordan Love has me nervous against his Texans defense, who've

239
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 3: been pretty good with the past. They're a top five

240
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: pass defense, but they also have the highest QB pressure

241
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: rate in the NFL right now, and they have the

242
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: capability to get in that pocket and make him uncomfortable

243
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: and make the mistakes. I'm not saying that Jordan Love

244
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: is going to be a total dud this week, but

245
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: I'm just being very cautious about how many leagues I'm

246
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: going to be going out there to start him because

247
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 3: you cannot sleep on this Texans pass rush. You can't

248
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: sleep on this secondary at all. So I really think that,

249
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: you know, we might have to have our expectations tempered

250
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: going against his Texans defense because a lot of people

251
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 3: are out there drinking this Jordan Love, you know kool aid,

252
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: that he's going to be like this big, big, top

253
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: five quarterback. I'm not saying he's not, but this week

254
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: we might have to pull it back, pump the brakes, and.

255
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: You know, here's the on the one side, like, I

256
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: totally get that against the Texans defense. On the other side,

257
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: he's been really good at throwing multiple touchdown passes in

258
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: a game.

259
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: So I'm not sure where I fall on that.

260
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, it's hard to have a

261
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: better option, so you're probably starting him, but you know,

262
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: who knows how this thing is going to turn out

263
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: this week?

264
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 3: Lakwan, would you play Love or golf, golf Gough, Jared

265
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: goof whatever, because I know I.

266
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: Know how you feel about it. I know how you

267
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: feel about Jared Go. That's a that's a big that's

268
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: a big statement coming from the quand for sure.

269
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 5: Is hilarious.

270
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: I've ever heard that before. Who are you who are

271
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: you concerned about this week?

272
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 6: Jared goof No, Look, I know the move to Russell

273
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 6: Wilson could be a good one for George Pickens.

274
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 5: I'm not saying it can't. I am just worried about

275
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 5: week seven for this move because, uh, like Russell Wilson

276
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 5: got hurt in August and then it was all justin

277
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 5: fields getting the first team reps. All season long. It's

278
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 5: been justin fields getting the first team reps. So if

279
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 5: these are the first like live practice reps that these

280
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 5: two were seeing since early August, that to me seems concerning.

281
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 5: Plus there's always a concern of like, hey, this is

282
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 5: Russ's first game and over in since December, Like maybe

283
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 5: there's a little bit of Russ to shake off there

284
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 5: with the new team, new players that he hasn't played

285
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 5: in a game with yet, So that is concerning. But

286
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 5: then also equally concerning is the matchup against the Jets.

287
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 5: They are in the bottom five and fantasy points allowed

288
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 5: to wide receivers, and they really eliminate out wide wide receivers,

289
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 5: which is what George Pickens does. And Pickens, while he

290
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 5: bounces around side to side, the bulk of his work

291
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 5: comes on the left side, which is Sauce Gardner territories.

292
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 5: So he seems very boom or bust to me in

293
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 5: this week plus everything, I know, all the reports are

294
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 5: that Russell Wilson is starting this week, but like every

295
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 5: time Mike Tomlin's been asked about it, he's been noncommittal

296
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 5: to both of them. So I think there's a chance

297
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 5: Justin Fields could still start this week, and then that's

298
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 5: kind of trending down for George Pickens as well.

299
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it.

300
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: Look if it's Russ I feel better about Pickens, but

301
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: you're right that Fields could start. I even saw something

302
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: that they could use two quarterbacks as though they were like,

303
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, the Mid American Conference, Like what are we doing?

304
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: Like why are we trying to start both these guys?

305
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: Or play both these guys?

306
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, can we not? Please? So I'm keeping

307
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: an eye on this one, you know.

308
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of consternation about the Steelers

309
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: making a change when they're sitting at four and two

310
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: right now, so who knows. I'm gonna go with Kyler

311
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: Murray and this has not been the Kyler Murray season

312
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: we thought it was going to be. I mean, he

313
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: had a couple of good games early, but really it's

314
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: it's quieted down since the first couple of weeks of

315
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: the season, averaging less than two hundred passing yards per game.

316
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: This week, they got the Chargers, and that Chargers defense

317
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: has been tough. They have allowed sixty six points all

318
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: season long. Now, mind you, they've also had him by

319
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: so they've had one fewer game than most of the

320
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: teams out there, but still they are locking down on opponents,

321
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: not giving a lot of opportunity to quarterbacks and not

322
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: allowing quarterbacks to run. They held justin fields to six

323
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: rushing yards this season. I think they've given him ninety

324
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: rushing yards total to quarterbacks, So that takes away potentially

325
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: another big avenue for Kyler Murray to score fantasy points.

326
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: I know Marvin Harrison Junior was back at practice, so

327
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: that is encouraging to have him back in the offense potentially,

328
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: But just I'm worried about Kyler, who has not been great,

329
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: and this doesn't really feel like a week where suddenly

330
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: he's about to get back on track.

331
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: For fantasy.

332
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: It's time to drive your line up. Presented by the

333
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: all new hybrid Toyota Camry, So I switched the order

334
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: around because it feels like we had been ending the

335
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: show on a really negative note, so I tried to

336
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: end it on something a little.

337
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: Bit more hopeable.

338
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: So I moved the store lax our favorite sleepers to

339
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: this final portion of the show. So Lakwan, who are

340
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: we sleeping on?

341
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: In Week seven?

342
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: Give me Lad McConkie man against the car and they

343
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 3: allow a ton of production the slot wide receivers. So

344
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to this matchup because honestly, we understand

345
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 3: it's a low pass byum offense, but when they are

346
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: throwing the ball, they're more likely going to Lad McConkie.

347
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 3: He's the only one that has a twenty percent target

348
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: share on the team. And I think the Cardinals are

349
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: going to have to focus on a lot more on

350
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: this run game with the Chargers have because the Cardinals

351
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: have been completely cooked, I'm talking crock pot cooked the

352
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: entire season on the ground when it comes to the

353
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: running backs. So they're going to have a lot of

354
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: distractions with JK. Dobbins in that run game. And this

355
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: is where I think Ladd McConkie shows up with a

356
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: big game this week.

357
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: I feel like we should start like a fan club,

358
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: but we can all be like lads, lads or something

359
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: like that.

360
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 4: Dads lads.

361
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: You know, we need some sort of clever name for

362
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: the Ladd mcconkee high.

363
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: He has to have these big games, he has to

364
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: keep them consistent.

365
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 4: But we'll see.

366
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: He's got to keep playing well. But we can have

367
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: lads and lads. We can get T shirts and stuff too.

368
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: We can all like walk around like that's always cool,

369
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: Like jerks with a T shirt that say lads lads

370
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: on them.

371
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: Who's your sleeper for the week?

372
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 5: A guy that I know, Lakwan, likes a whole lot

373
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 5: as well. The Mario Douglas sir look nine targets from

374
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 5: Drake May last week. I don't think that should be ignored.

375
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 5: And the Steeler Patriots offense looked, at least stat wise,

376
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 5: they were putting, they were moving the ball better, they

377
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 5: were scoring touchdowns at a higher rate than they had

378
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 5: with Jakobe Brissett. I think Drake May injects some life

379
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 5: into this offense. Plus it is a fantastic matchup. The

380
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 5: Jags have allowed the second most fantasy points to wide receivers.

381
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 5: They struggle against slot receivers, so Douglas can make his

382
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 5: hay there. And yeah, look he's not a mustard or

383
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 5: anything like that, but you're gonna be watching this game,

384
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 5: You're gonna be waking up early to throw on a

385
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 5: little football. It's a way for you to get some

386
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 5: exposure there. And he just feels like a safe floor,

387
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 5: kind of safe volume guy. This stealing though, is in

388
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 5: play this week and a good matchup if the Patriots

389
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 5: are in ketchup mode as well.

390
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: I like to Mario Douglas a lot this week.

391
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: I know we keep trying to make Jalen Polk a thing,

392
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: and at some point I think he will.

393
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: Be a thing, but for now, it's to Mario Douglas.

394
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: I mean, he is the leading receiver there, was the

395
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: leading receiver last year, leading receiver again this year. Good

396
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: matchup this week against Jacksonville. I'm all in on to

397
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: Mario Douglas. For me, I'm going with Andy Dalton because

398
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: obviously things brightened up a lot in that Carolina offense

399
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: once he took over as the starting quarterback. Good matchup

400
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: this week against Washington. The Commander's defense has gotten incrementally better,

401
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: but still giving up.

402
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: A whole lot of yards through the air.

403
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: Last week it was Lamar Jackson going for over three

404
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: point fifty against them. I don't think Dalton gets quite

405
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: to that number, but I do think he's going to

406
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: be effective multiple touchdown passes in three of the four

407
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: games that he's had since he became the starter in

408
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: Carolina because neither defense can stop anybody. I think there's

409
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of points scored in this one.

410
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna go back and forth with a lot of

411
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: Dalton throwing the football.

412
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: So for sure, in two QB super flex leagues, Andy

413
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: Dalton is a starter.

414
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: I think even he's a low end QB one in

415
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: like fourteen team or deeper leagues, the red rifle man.

416
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: I think this is a.

417
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: Good week for him going it's going against Washington, for sure.

418
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,880
