1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: Wow ye. Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show presented

2
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: by Draft Kings. Here's your host, Marcus Grant. What is up?

3
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show

4
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: presented by Draft Kings. It's me your man named G

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, still masking and socially distancing, win and where appropriate,

6
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: and we've made it to another Monday. We tend just

7
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: about at its conclusion. We have one more game. It

8
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: is the Vikings and the Bears on Monday Night Football.

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: We will talk about that with the help of Kimmy Checks.

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: As we always do on Monday, we'll go over some

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: of your waiver wire picks, who also look at a

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: handful of guys who may look like role players on

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: their respective NFL rosters and wonder whether or not maybe

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: they have a role on your fantasy roster down the stretch.

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: Because we are literally just a couple of weeks away

16
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: from the start of the fantasy playoffs, so things are

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: getting real in fantasy leagues if they haven't already. So

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: we got that and plenty more to talk about in

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: this one. But before we do any of that, let's

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: talk to our faithful producers. Seeing you're Edward L. Murphy

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: Esquire and Murphy, I see you are rocking the Giants colors.

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: They are still in the thick of things in the

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: NFC East. I mean, as as this combobulated as it

24
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: has been, you at least have to be encouraged that

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: they're still in the race. It's the best bad division ever. Um,

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: It's it's insane, Like part of me is upset about

27
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: those games they lost by like one score, like the Bears,

28
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: the Rams, the Bucks, the first Eagles game, the Cowboys

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: game come to mind. But now I'm like, you know

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: what doesn't matter, right, We're right neconnect with the Eagles.

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: They keep playing like they are they have a real

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: shot at winning this thing and like potentially hosting like

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, like the Bucks will come to MetLife to

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: play the Giants like a sixth win division winner. It's

35
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: like it is out of control. It's it's on part

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: for how crazy this year has been. But yeah, I

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: am so excited for this team. I like it's slowly

38
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: all coming together. The old lines playing a little bit better,

39
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: and Jason Garrett's calling good place. Dalen Jones is reacting

40
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: to those places he's calling and he's showing what he

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: did last year, throwing the ball really well deep downfield. Um,

42
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: they somehow found a running game with Sae Kwon injured.

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: The defense, Patrick Graham's defense has been incredible. Like there

44
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: they stopped the equals on every third down, I think

45
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: third and long last game. It's just like everything Giants

46
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: fans been wanting, and they're really buying into Joe Judges culture,

47
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: which is by far the biggest name because the Giants,

48
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: unlike them, had a bunch of stuff off the field

49
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: happened the last few years. And now they all these

50
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: guys are are buying in and um, it is finally

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: like weirdly happy times for Giants fans in New York.

52
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: Has taken quite a bit, but we're slowly getting there.

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: I know it. You know, it seems a little bit

54
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: far fetched because look, let's say the Giants end up

55
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: with you know, six seven wins or whatever at the

56
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: end of the year. I don't think Joe Judge will

57
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: be named Coach of the Year. But he's got to

58
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: be getting votes. I mean, with what he's done and

59
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: the fact that he's got this team in contingent, he

60
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: at least has to get some consideration for Coach of

61
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: the Year. Absolutely, and I think it's great you brought

62
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: that up because they're the Giants don't have a very

63
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: talented team by most NFL sanders. They have a lot

64
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: of guys who would say they're B B minus players

65
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: And he is just like you know the Sponge analogy.

66
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: He is just really ringing everything out of these guys

67
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: he could possibly get, even dealing with those injuries and stuff,

68
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: like you know, he's making household names that a guys

69
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: that are pretty unheralded coming into the league. Um like

70
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: Dalvin Thomas in a good example. It's just an absolute

71
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: force in the interior defensive line. But nationally most people

72
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: may not know who he is. And uh, it's it's

73
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: really like he's just done such a great job. And

74
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: like I said, I think the coaching culture and just

75
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: the players buying him is by far the biggest thing

76
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: he needs to get to happen. And that happened and

77
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: now you see like the kind of the wheels are

78
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: in motion and it's solely becoming a good team, like

79
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: a team that people actually want to watch. And like

80
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: I I cannot be happy. I really I really am

81
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: proud of like what they've accomplished with, Like I said,

82
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: not not so much talent. Yeah, yeah, I completely understand. Look,

83
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: I can't imagine ever saying that a three and seven

84
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: team should be feeling good about itself going into the bye.

85
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: But that's kind of where the Giants are right now. Oh,

86
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: the NFC East is going to be interesting to watch,

87
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: regardless of how it shakes out the rest of the season.

88
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: All Right, it is Monday, and as we always do

89
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: on a Monday, we bring in the one and only

90
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: Kimmy Checks. And you know, while everybody else had chaos

91
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: going on around them because their teams were playing, you

92
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: sort of had an emotional break because the Chiefs were

93
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: on a by. So I'd imagine you're feeling a little

94
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: bit more rested and centered after Sunday. Oh, I'm feeling

95
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: so good. Yesterday I sat down and started to get

96
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: my Thanksgiving meny you all together, was on the grill,

97
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: per usual, got to watch football and not stressed out

98
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs running by. But then I realized, like

99
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: I was not as emotionally invested. Yes, I play fantasy,

100
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: so I have players on every other team, but the

101
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: entire day I was like, what is going on, it's

102
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: not the same with the Chiefs not playing. However, that

103
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 1: Cardinals Bills game was really fun and that crazy, crazy,

104
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: crazy catch by DeAndre Hopkins the the go boom on

105
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: your board right behind you, because that was like the

106
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: fun highlight of the Sunday. So looking forward to Chief's

107
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: football being back on UH for week eleven, that was

108
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing to just sort of watch that. And I

109
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: was saying before the show as I as I saw

110
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: Kyler let that ball go, uh, and the camera sort

111
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: of pans towards the end zone. I look at him, like,

112
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, somebody might catch that ball, and and old uh,

113
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins comes down with it. Pandemonium ensues. D J.

114
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: Humphries gives us a great meme of him with his

115
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: just mouth hanging open and shock. Uh. It was. It

116
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: was pretty amazing. In fact, I I texted some of

117
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 1: my friends in Arizona who I know are Cardinals fans,

118
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: and they were absolutely losing their minds over that one,

119
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: so it was great for them. I know our pal

120
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: Michael f. Florio is probably not feeling so great about

121
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: it being a Bills fan, but just a fantastic, fantastic anything.

122
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back and watch that on game pass, which,

123
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: by the way, just a a a quick shameless plug

124
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: for the company here. If you don't have game paths,

125
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: it is worth checking out, if for no other reason

126
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: than the condensed games afterwards, if there was a game

127
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: you missed or you want to watch again. The fact

128
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: that you can go back and watch a full NFL

129
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: game anywhere from about thirty to forty five minutes is

130
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: is pretty amazing. So I may go back in and

131
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: redo uh Cardinals and Bills on game pass. All right,

132
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,559
Speaker 1: let us turn now to some fantasy headlines to start

133
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: off this Monday. And last week we talked about Brady

134
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: and the Bucks going bust and just getting just getting

135
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: punched in the mouth repeatedly by the Saints. What a

136
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: difference a week makes because Brady and the Bucks go

137
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: boom against the Carolina Panthers. Tom Brady with a huge day,

138
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: and I think more notably Kimmy, all of the wide

139
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: receivers went out and gave you thirteen or more points.

140
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: Me and Antonio Brown had a nice day. Chris Godwin

141
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: did Chris Godwin things. Mike Evans found his way into

142
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: the end zone. So we were sort of waiting to

143
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: see how this group would all shake out. So after

144
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: what we saw on Sunday, do you think all of

145
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: these wide receivers are startable? Now? I mean, I do

146
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: think it's a possibility. I don't know. Run through the

147
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: stats of those three guys. Mike Evans he had six

148
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: or seven seventy seven yards and a tuddy Antonio Brown

149
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: seven receptions sixty nine yards, and Chris Godwin six receptions

150
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: for ninety two yards. Now, I think the huge concern

151
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 1: here was that there are so many mouths to feed

152
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. You have these three receivers, then you

153
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: also have your tight ends. You have Gronk, you have

154
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: Cameron brad There's so many different players who Tom Brady

155
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: needs to get the ball to, and that's excluding the

156
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: running back situation of Ronald Jones and Leonard four Net. Now,

157
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: looking at this performance one, I do think it was

158
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of a revenge game for Tom Brady

159
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: because he was embarrassed about what happened versus the New

160
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints back in Week nine. So I think there

161
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: was a little more animosity there to go out and perform.

162
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: But I think as we look ahead to the Fantasy

163
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: Playoffs schedule, you could easily start all three of these guys.

164
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: I think the only thing that you have to keep

165
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: in mind is that maybe I would temper the expectations.

166
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if if Tom Brady in this offense

167
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: will be able to spread the ball as consistently as

168
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: they did against the Panthers on Sunday. But all three

169
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: guys plus Tom Brady, they all showed some type of promise.

170
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think if you have the option

171
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: to start him, you could do it. The thing I

172
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: didn't mention it that you touched on was the fact

173
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: that also the two tight ends got involved. You got

174
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: good numbers out of Grounk, You got a decent numbers

175
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: out of Camera Brad, which I don't know if anybody

176
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: is starting Camera bright nowadays. But either way, he got

177
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands quite a few times on Sunday.

178
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: And I know that you know, we talked about this,

179
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: this team, in this offense on Fantasy Game Day on Sunday, You,

180
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: I and Adam Rank were all sort of unanimous about

181
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: the fact that you we we either back to Antonio

182
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: Brown or Chris Godwin. Nobody was on the Mike Evans train,

183
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: So the six or seventies seven and a touchdown sort

184
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: of came out of nowhere. That's the one I feel

185
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: like is maybe the least trustworthy, because I don't know

186
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: that that is how the Buccaneers are going to use

187
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: him regularly, So it was nice to get it if

188
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: you started, Mike Evans, that's the one I feel like

189
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: you really can't count on as much as the other ones.

190
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: I still think, you know, it's either Godwin or a

191
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: b most weeks, So anything you get out of Mike

192
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: Evans beyond just the occasional two yard touchdown catch might

193
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: be a bonus going forward the rest of the year.

194
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: The other part about this, when we finished the show,

195
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, I I do the show sort of in

196
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: my little office, my loft office here, and I go

197
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: down to the living room and I turned on the

198
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: big TV and I get set up for the day.

199
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: And literally in the time it took me to like

200
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: go downstairs, pour another cup of coffee, get my computer

201
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: set up, Ronald Jones had fumbled the football, and I

202
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: thought at that point that that was going to be

203
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: the end of Ronald Jones's day. It turns out it

204
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: wasn't it turns out he had a huge day, nearly

205
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: two hundred rushing yards, had a ninety eight yard touchdown run.

206
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: So after he overcomes this fumble kimmy and he gets

207
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: a heavy workload, do we feel more secure about starting

208
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: Roadjo every week? We have to feel more secure, one

209
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: because of the performance that he did he ended it

210
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: with almost twenty Fantasy points, but then also seeing the

211
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: usage of Leonard four Net. Ronald Jones is the lead

212
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: back in this offense. I know we've been kind of

213
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: toying and going back and forth and do we start

214
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: road Joe? Do we not? Do we trust him? Do

215
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: we not? We have to trust him. I think the

216
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: fact that he moved past that fumble and they still

217
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: had him as the lead back of that offense and

218
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: trusted him for the rest of the game that points

219
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: to good signs, that that means good things. Plus those

220
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: almost two hundred rushing yards, he had a hundred and

221
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: ninety two rushing yards. That's a dominant performance and that's

222
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: exactly what you want from your running back, especially as

223
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: we look ahead to the Fantasy playoffs. So I think

224
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: we feel a lot more secure with Ronald Jones in

225
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: the lineup. But I don't know what that means for

226
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: Leonard for Net. That becomes sort of the next question

227
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: is what does this mean for Leonard for net because

228
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: he didn't really get that many opportunities on Sunday. It

229
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: was mostly the road Joe game. And maybe this was

230
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: because they were attacking what is a bad run defense

231
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: there in Carolina. Maybe that had something to do with it.

232
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: But he looks very effective, and so now you do

233
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: sort of wonder how this thing shake out, how this

234
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: split is going forward. But I think we're sort of

235
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: as much as I want to just you know, take

236
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,599
Speaker 1: a victory lap and and and pat myself on the

237
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: back first, staying with Ronald Jones. In the back of

238
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: my mind, I know that we're always going to sort

239
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: of play this game, that we're gonna do this dance

240
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: between Ronald Jones and Leonard four Net. And yesterday was

241
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: great if you started Rojoe, not so much for for Net.

242
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: The tables could turn next week, right, they play the

243
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: Rams next week, and the Rams did a pretty good

244
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: job of slowing down the Seahawks. It could end up

245
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: being a Leonard four Net game. So you're sort of

246
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: in this weird nether world with both of these guys

247
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: where you kind of have to start them and sort

248
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: of let the chips fall where they may. It is,

249
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of a sickening feeling, especially when you're in

250
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: the part of the season where the games mean more

251
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: in fantasy, where that the winds become magnified and the

252
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: losses become a little bit more heartbreaking. But I as

253
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: much as you know, Bruce Arians says, Ronald Jones is

254
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: our guy. Bruce Arians has also been known to maybe

255
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: bend the truth a little bit when it comes to

256
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: his running backs. I mean, look, he he has no

257
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: obligation to us to be forthright, but you know we'd

258
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: appreciate it. We'd appreciate it. Um. So that takes us

259
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: from the Bucks to a guy who used to be

260
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: a buccaneer and Jamis Winston. And Jamis came in in

261
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: the second half of New Orleans game against the forty

262
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: Niners on Sunday. Drew Brees left that game with a

263
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: rib injury. In fact, he is having an m r

264
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: I on Monday, and the early reports are that he

265
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: might miss a few weeks now. Jamis didn't do anything

266
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: particularly special. They didn't necessarily need him to because the

267
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: defense pretty much had it locked down for the Saints.

268
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: But next week New Orleans has Atlanta, and we have

269
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: been picking on Atlanta pretty mercilessly when it comes to Fantasy. So, Jimmy,

270
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: if you are in need of a streaming quarterback, would

271
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: you give Jamis a look? I mean, I think if

272
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: you're a yolo player and maybe you don't want to

273
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: go to the Fantasy layoffs and now you're just playing

274
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: to have fun, you can say yolo and go get

275
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: Jamis Winson. I like Jamis Winson. I root for Jamis Winson.

276
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: I think it would be interested to see him fully

277
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: have an opportunity with the Saints if Drew Brees does,

278
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: in fact miss some time. But if you are a

279
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: player who does want to make it to the Fantasy

280
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: playoffs and you're kind of in that position of of

281
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: teetering the edge of a playoff victory or a playoff

282
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: opportunity because of your wins and losses, I think you

283
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: should look at some other guys who are on the

284
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: waiver wire. I know we're going to talk about him

285
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: a little bit later on in the show, but Big Ben,

286
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: he's owned and I think less than fifty percent of

287
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com League's so with Drew Lock, Jake Lewton,

288
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: the rookie there as well as along with Tua who

289
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: just went out and performed really well against the Los

290
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers. I think there's some other guys on the

291
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: waiver wire that I probably have a little bit more

292
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: trust in over Jamis Winson, even though this is a

293
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: really good matchup. But maybe I'm just maybe I'm just

294
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: being a little too cautionary here, But I don't know,

295
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm a little scared about the Jamis Winston streaming off shin.

296
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: I look, I get it. We're talking about a guy

297
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: who throw thirty interceptions last year. So you would be

298
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: crazy if you weren't at least a little bit hesitant

299
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: about it. And you know, when I talk about streaming Jamis,

300
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: it really is pretty much about playing the matchup. And

301
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: and you saw the number just today, six of ten

302
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: for sixty three yards. He didn't do much, He wasn't

303
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: asked to do much. You know, likely they will ask

304
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: him to do a little bit more next week. But

305
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: you also get the sense that Sean Payton will figure

306
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: out how to sort of scheme around any deficiencies Jamis has,

307
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: which if that means giving the ball to Alvin Camara

308
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more, uh, you know, Weirdly, and I

309
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: hate saying this out loud because I know my mentions

310
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: are gonna get flooded. But weirdly, this this could mean

311
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: we see a lot more Tastom Hill next week. You know,

312
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: where it's Tassom as a as a quarterback, taste him

313
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: as a running back take. I mean it'll be it'll

314
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: be like bugs Bunny against the gashouse gorillas. You know,

315
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: it'll be like the wide receivers taste hill running back taste.

316
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: He'll tie it in and take some hill left guard

317
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: and Tasto Hill like it'll be that, uh, just to

318
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: sort of keep it. But if you are, you know,

319
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: saying a two quarterback league, if you're in a really

320
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: really deep league where quarterback is really thin on the

321
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: waiver wire, then I think Jamis you know, might be

322
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: appealing to you. But Jimmy, I I understand your hesitation,

323
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: your your fear to just fully dive headlong into the

324
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston experiment, even against the Alatt of Falcons defense. Um.

325
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: Last bit of news. Nick Chubb came back and he

326
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: did what we would have expected him to do against

327
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: that Houston Texans run defense, had a really nice game,

328
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: got into the end zone in a game that was

329
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: way more low scoring than I think anybody anticipated, and

330
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: admittedly the weather might have had something to do with that.

331
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: But the one point everybody's talking about this one here

332
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: he's breaking it down the sideline for what certainly would

333
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: have been a game ceiling playing and instead of scoring

334
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: the touchdown, he steps out of bounds at the one

335
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: yard line. Fantasy Twitter how old in frustration when it happened.

336
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: And it's one of those things where smart football, uh

337
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: and fantasy sort of run headlong into each other and

338
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: do not mix. This was the this was the smart,

339
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: correct football play, but for all of us fantasy types,

340
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: he wanted to see him score. But that's neither here

341
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: nor there, because the Chubb still had a very good game.

342
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: He did score a touchdown. For you, my question is,

343
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: knowing how the Browns want to run the football and

344
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: seeing what the schedule is, can Nick Chubb be a

345
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: top five fantasy back for the rest of the season.

346
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: I absolutely think that it is possible because of the

347
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: schedule that you mentioned. So I went and I took

348
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: a look right, they take on the Eagles, the Jets,

349
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: the tight Ends, the Ravens, the Giants, the Jets again,

350
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: and then the Steelers. So then I did a little math. Right,

351
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: I went to nfl dot com slash fantasy, clicked on

352
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: our research bar, and I wanted to see how did

353
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: these teams fare against fantasy running backs. Well, I have

354
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: some good news. The Jazz, the Jets, the Giants, and

355
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: the Titans. They're all within the top ten defenses that

356
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: are allowing them fantasy points to running backs this season.

357
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: All signs point to good for Nick Chubb to be

358
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 1: a top five fantasy running back for the remainder of

359
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: this season. I think even with him and Kareem Hunt

360
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: and then kind of doing at split we saw yesterday,

361
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is an elite running back. He is going

362
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: to continue to get opportunities. Who's going to continue to

363
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: carry the ball. And like you said, this is a

364
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: run heavy offense, and that just means Nick Chubb is

365
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: going to shine. Look, the Browns make no bones about

366
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: the fact that they want to run the football as

367
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: much as they possibly can, and so it was why

368
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: I certainly yesterday a lot of us felt like you

369
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: could start either Nick Chubb or Kareem Hunt and you

370
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: would be okay. And that turned out to be the case.

371
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: And this is really what they want to do. They

372
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: want to lead with their running game. Nick Chubb maybe

373
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: is it quite the work worse he was early last

374
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: season before Kareem Hunt came online. But they're still getting

375
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: him the ball a ton. And in a world where

376
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: we are still wanting more from running backs, we're wanting

377
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: more running backs in general. I mean, look, we're literally

378
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: having a debate about Kenyan Drake versus Chase Edmund So

379
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: that sort of tells you where we are with fantasy

380
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: running backs. So Nick Chubb coming in and being able

381
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: to do Nick Chubb things and knowing he's going to

382
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: get a consistent number of touches and snaps every single week,

383
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: uh means you're you're going to lean on him. You

384
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: were going to ride him the rest of the way.

385
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: And uh, I do think he's got top five upside.

386
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: I think he can be that good for the rest

387
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: of the season. All right. So from a guy who

388
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: was good too a handful of guys who were un

389
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: good in in Week ten, it is time for I

390
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: am salty. Our Week ten disappointments. And let's start with

391
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: a guy who has made this list now two weeks

392
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: in a row, James Conner. And everything about this said,

393
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: this is a good matchup. You know, the weather was

394
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna be like so, so the Bengals run defense is

395
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: not good. Everything said James Conner was going to blow up.

396
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: And yet here we are being salty about James Conner.

397
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: I mean, we're not pulling the plug on him, Kimmy,

398
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: but I don't know what to do at this point

399
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: with him. I'm officially salt bay. I am mad. I'm

400
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: done with you, James Conner. I'm mad. I am horrible because,

401
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: like you said, I saw the matchup, so I got

402
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: up into my starting lineup thinking this could really be

403
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: a game where he can go out and explode and

404
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: get consistent Fantasy points for me. And then that's not

405
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: what he did. He didn't even get seven Fantasy points.

406
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: Come on, like, lucky number seven, you could have done that. Now,

407
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: this is the third consecutive game where James Conner has

408
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: failed to gain more than twenty yards on a single play.

409
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: That's that's a little different than the production he was

410
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: having earlier on in this season, and even last season. However,

411
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to make excuses for him, but yet

412
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: again the game script did favor the passing game. Even

413
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: though the Steelers were ahead that entire game, Ben Roethlisberger

414
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: through forty six times. So again I don't want to

415
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: make excuses for why James Conner wasn't really utilized or

416
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: why he wasn't able to be productive, because you just

417
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: saw he got he got a pass off and then

418
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: he completely just fell to the ground. But you have

419
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: to also realize that they threw the ball a lot

420
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: more than we would have expected. Look, maybe some of

421
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: this was about the matchup in the sense that the

422
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: Bengals came into this week we're just a completely depleted secondary.

423
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: Right they were down four cornerbacks to the point that

424
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: they tried John Ross in practice at defensive back and

425
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: then he got hurt. Uh, So that that's that tells

426
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: you how things were going for the Bengal secondary. So

427
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: maybe this was just more set up for Ben Roethlisberger

428
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: to throw the football and and he had maybe his

429
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: best game of the year against Cincinnati on Sunday, so

430
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: maybe that had something to do with it. But still

431
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: everything was pointing to where James Connor getting some opportunity.

432
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: The other part that's frustrating is watching the Steelers down

433
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: near the goal line. They are very creative, which yea

434
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: creativity boom. Forget I'd given the ball to James Conner.

435
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: That's the part that's sort of frustrating when you see

436
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: them sort of running in a round to chase Claypool

437
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: or bootlegs or what have you. Like. Yeah, it's fun

438
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: to see creative new offensive plays, but sometimes we just

439
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: want the meat potatoes of handing the body or running

440
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: back letting him plow ahead, uh into the end zone.

441
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: So you were sort of stuck because you've had bad

442
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: to back back to back bad performances by James Conner

443
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: fantasy wise. But you know where else you gonna go.

444
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: There's not a whole lot of great options out there

445
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: that you feel like can be better than James Conner

446
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis. Uh, dk Metcalf had just been

447
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: money every single week for you for the Seahawks and

448
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: then he ran up on Jalen Ramsey on Sunday and

449
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: got locked down. I know, look, I'm not panicking over this, Kimmy.

450
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't think this is some you know, big worrisome thing,

451
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: but at least for one week. I'm kind of salty

452
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: that DK Metcalf didn't really do anything. No that you

453
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: deserve to be salty. You can be salt bay on

454
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: this one. Since I'm salt bay on James Conner, you

455
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: can have a salt Bay on DK Metcalf. I mean,

456
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: we've kind of known that this is a possibility, though

457
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: I don't think we thought that he was going to

458
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: be held to under five Fantasy points, but Jalen Ramsey

459
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: had him locked down the entire game. That's exactly why

460
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey has paid the money Jalen Ramsey is paid right.

461
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: He's very good on the defensive side of the ball.

462
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: But with DK Mettcalf and also Tyler Locket, we're kind

463
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: of used to these big boom or big bust games.

464
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: It's always a toss up on which one of these

465
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: receivers is going to have the huge game. And I

466
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: think we were all expecting that it was continually going

467
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: to be d K because of the way he'd been

468
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: performing as of late. But this just shows the volatility

469
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: with these guys. You can go and you can have

470
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: a game where you have what less than five six

471
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: fantasy points, or you have a game where you have

472
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: more than forty Fantasy points. It's a completely disaster and

473
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: really annoying for fantasy managers. But with with the high

474
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: upside and that high upside potential, you never are going

475
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: to sit DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett for that case. However,

476
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: you just kind of have to shrug it off when

477
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: things like this happen, which is a point. Let me,

478
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: let me be clear, it's very annoint I mean, look,

479
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned that too, Like normally this year has been

480
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: when one of those guys has a bad game, the

481
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: other one has a huge game. But even Tyler Lockett

482
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: was just nick on on Sunday and he didn't get

483
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: you twelve fantasy points. So it was just not a

484
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: great game for the Seahawks. Credit the Rams defense for

485
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: having a a game plan and and keeping Russell Wilson

486
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: locked down because Russell Wilson had fewer than tim Fantasy

487
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: points himself. I mentioned Lockett was not great, Metcalf was

488
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: kind of a bust. So I'm not worried about it,

489
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: Like I'm not panicking and saying we should a drop

490
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: or anything these guys. It just it was a bad game. Uh,

491
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily make me feel better about it. Um.

492
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: We had been big on the Travis Fulgum train for

493
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: a while because he had been playing well since he

494
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: got on the lineup for the Eagles, but he did

495
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: pretty much next to nothing on Sunday one catch eight yards.

496
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: I look, and we talked about the Giants with Eddie earlier.

497
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they're they're playing well. Good for them,

498
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: but I still wanted more from Travis Fulgum. I am

499
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: not thrilled with what happened yesterday. I mean, we all

500
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: wanted more of Travis Fulgum, But this was something when

501
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: we even talked about picking him up from the waiver

502
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: wire that we did note once the rest of those

503
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: receivers start to get healthy for the Eagles, and that's

504
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: exactly what's happening now. Carson Wentz has the ability to

505
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 1: now spread the ball a lot more with Travis Fulgum

506
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: not being that main receiving target and that receiving option.

507
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: So this was something that I feel like we we

508
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: kind of spoke into existence because we cautioned against it

509
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: even though we wanted him to be great, and now

510
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: we saw that reality come true against the Giants. Yeah,

511
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: you're you're probably right. Um. I still believe that maybe

512
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: he was gonna get some looks just because of how

513
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: well he's played. But but you are correct. I mean,

514
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: Jalen Reagor has been back for a couple of weeks,

515
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: and I know how much they love him and want

516
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: to get him involved in the offense. Al Sean Jeffrey

517
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: was at least dressed and back available, although I don't

518
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: know that he did much of anything. Part of it

519
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: also is just that the Eagles offense as a whole

520
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: is the picture of inconsistency. One week it looks like

521
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is sort of putting things together, then another

522
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: week it looks like he just met the other ten

523
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: guys on the offense. So, you know, it's frustrating. I

524
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: still sort of believe that Fulgum has a future in

525
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: this offense, just because of what he did for those

526
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: you know, four to six weeks or so leading up

527
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: to yesterday. I just it just didn't It didn't work

528
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: out at all. And the last one we talked about

529
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: this a little bit, but Leonard Fournette we thought would

530
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: at least have some sort of role, and I guess

531
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: he did. It was just minimal. Um, So, I don't know.

532
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: I really don't know what to do about the Bucks backfield.

533
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: I mean we sort of talked about it, gimme, but

534
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: at least for yesterday, I was certainly if I started

535
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournett, I would be highly displeased with the results

536
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: I got from him. I mean, yeah, But at the

537
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: same time, when have you been pleased consistently with the

538
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: production out of Leonard Fournett? Right he's battled injury. There's

539
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: this fifty fifty split with him and Ronald Jones, a

540
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: whole conversation on who the lead back is. We saw

541
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: yesterday those nine rushes for nineteen yards and two receptions

542
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: for eleven yards, but I only got you five fantasy points.

543
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: And that's just the kind of meta performance that now

544
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm kind of used to this. This confusing backfield is

545
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: just that it's confusing. But we earlier in the show

546
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: did make a case for being, you know, more comfortable

547
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: with Ronald Jones in our starting fantasy lineups, and I

548
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: think that's kind of dissuaded us from trusting Leonard for net. Yeah,

549
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: it is. Look, we are going to do this, Danton.

550
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: I know we talked about this a lot, and I

551
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: feel like this also goes back to what we said

552
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: when four net first got to Tampa that there are

553
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: going to be weeks that it's going to be four

554
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: net week and there's gonna be weeks where it's gonna

555
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: be a Ronald Jones week. And I'm looking at let's

556
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: go back the last four games, right, he had five

557
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: points on Sunday, before that he actually had ten point

558
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: ten points, and back to back games he had fifteen

559
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: points before that. Um, you know, he's he's had ups

560
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: and downs, Like the floor is really low, the ceiling

561
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: is really high. I mean he had a nearly a

562
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight point game back in week two, So the

563
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: the frustration is going to continue. Uh, you know, were

564
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: very welcome do this segment next week and we could

565
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: be talking about Ronald Jones And I'm salty because Leonard

566
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: four Nett had a hundred and fifty yards and Rojoe

567
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: had like seventeen. So you know, this this is what

568
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: it is. I just wanted to vent about it. That's

569
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: that's pretty much why we created this whole segment, is

570
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: just so that we could vent in on about the

571
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: guys who let us down on Sunday. Um, yeah, and

572

583
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: performance Ready presented by castrol Edge. We do checks marks

584
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: the spot every Monday. We look at three guys who

585
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: had some interesting performances on Sunday and decide whether or

586
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: not this thing can keep in rolling right, whether we

587
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: believe it or not. So let's start in Washington. J

588
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: D mckissic fifteen targets a game high, and over the

589
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: last two weeks, uh, twenty nine targets for j D mckissic.

590
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: He's actually second on the team and targets behind Terry McLaurin. Now,

591
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty sizeable gap, but when you get fifteen targets

592
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: in a game, that closes that gap just a little bit.

593
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: But we have seen him become a big part of

594
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: the passing game. Had a nice game against the Detroit Lions.

595
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: So can me maybe not in the fifteen targets, but

596
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: in terms of his usage and his role in at

597
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: Washington offense. Uh, do we believe it or not? With

598
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: J D. Mckissic. I believe it. Then this is a

599
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: little bit of a humble brag for me because this

600
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: week I was all about the mckissic train, and I

601
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: think that was just because the matchup was so good

602
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: against the Detroit Lions. I know you as well as

603
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: Rank and I we were all hype on mckissic and

604
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson's it's the Lions are allowing the most fantasy

605
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: points to running backs. But we have to look at

606
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: this performance for mckissic and realize, I don't think this

607
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: is smoking mirrors. I truly think this is going to

608
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: be his continued role in this offense with Alex Smith

609
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: as the quarterback from here on out. It shows good

610
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: things that he did get those fifteen targets, and he's

611
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: the second was targeted guys hind Terry McLaurin. Next up,

612
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: the Washington football team take on the Bengals and the Cowboys.

613
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: Both of those teams are averaging twenty two fantasy points

614
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: allowed to the running back position and fantasy football. So

615
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: I think from here on out, j D. Mckiss it

616
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: can be a consistent fantasy starter plus. And this is

617
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. We have seen so many injuries at

618
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: the running back position that when you get a guy

619
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: like this and he's good, you want to hang onto

620
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: him and you want to start him. That I think

621
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: is a key there too, right, because it's one thing,

622
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, if if we had a full compliment of

623
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: running backs, if if nobody was hurt, if nobody was

624
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: on to buy, then maybe you look at that and

625
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: you sort of make a determination of whether or not

626
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: you feel comfortable with j. D. Mckissing. But you know,

627
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: a lot of times at this point in the season,

628
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: you are shorthanded and you are trying to, you know,

629
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: find anybody who can fill a gap, and mckissic is

630
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: doing well, and I don't I don't want to say

631
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: that to make it sound like he's just some bumb

632
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: that's just gonna fill a spot for you. He's playing

633
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: good football right now, and that is certainly something to

634
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: take note of. It's all are worth noting that both

635
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: he and Antonio Gibson have sort of figured out how

636
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: to coexist in this backfield because mckissic had the nice

637
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: day he saw that the forty three receiving yards and

638
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: a touchdown, but Antonio Gibson also went out and had

639
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: a pretty good day as well, scoring a couple of touchdowns.

640
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: So Washington has figured out how to use these guys.

641
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: And I also think that having Alex Smith back there

642
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: at quarterback is going to do wonders for mckissic. He's

643
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: going to get the ball to his running backs and

644
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: so you're gonna see them take shots down the field

645
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: with Terry McLaurin, you're gonna see them check down and

646
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: get the ball to j. D. Mckissic as well. So

647
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: there may be room in this Washington ecosystem for a

648
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: couple of different running backs to eat. And you know,

649
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: Alex Smith taking over as the starter might not be

650
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: the worst thing that happened to j D mckissic. Plus

651
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned the matchups coming up to that that is

652
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: reason enough to at least consider having him on your roster,

653
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: at least putting him in a flex spot. Uh. Staying

654
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: in the NFC East with the Giants, Wayne Goldman had

655
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: himself a day a couple of touch downs there. I

656
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: certainly didn't predict that against an Eagles defense that had

657
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: been tough against the run, and in the past the

658
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: Giants have tried the Wayne Gellman experiment. It was mixed

659
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: results at best. Obviously he was going to be buried

660
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: behind a healthy, say Kwan Barkley, even with the Giants

661
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: having a bye in Week eleven. Kimmy, I mean, should

662
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: we kind of start paying more attention and giving Wayne

663
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: Gallman more of his do based on what we've seen

664
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I mean, maybe maybe a

665
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: little bit. It's funny that you say, like, oh, I

666
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: didn't see this coming. It's like I want to ask

667
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: a poll on Twitter, like who had Wayne Gelman in

668
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: the starting lineup and thought that he was going to

669
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: be one of the top fantasy running backs this week?

670
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: And I know that whoever voted yes was a complete liar,

671
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: because like you said, we've seen this experiment before and

672
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: it hasn't really worked out. Obviously, say Kwan Barkley, he's

673
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: out for the rest of the season. And then Devant

674
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: Freeman quietly went on, I R I understand that now

675
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: they have a buy in week eleven, but then at

676
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: week twelve, they faced the Bengals, who I just said

677
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: are averaging around twenty two fantasy points allowed to running

678
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: back this season. So Gallman is going to be serving

679
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: as the Giants lead back once they come from that

680
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: bye week. So maybe this is an opportunity to focus

681
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: in on them, but also temper expectations. I don't know

682
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: this one. This one's a little bit of a confusing

683
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: situation for me. It is because as you look at

684
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: the line scores for him the last few weeks, you

685
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: sort of realize that he is very touchdown dependent. Um,

686
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: but he's also scored five touchdowns in the last four games. Uh,

687
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: so that is is reasoned enough to sort of kind

688
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: of buying in. At least you would like for him

689
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: to do more. From a yardage standpoint, he hasn't had

690
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: eighty yards in a game yet this year, so that

691
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: part certainly leaves you wanting um, but the fact that

692
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: he keeps finding the end zone is what is sort

693
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: of keeping him afloat. And I come back to what

694
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,959
Speaker 1: you just said a little while ago. If you are

695
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: shorthanded at running back with guys hurt, we still have

696
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: buys for a couple more weeks, so you know they're

697
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: going to be running backs that are going to be unavailable.

698
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: That gives Gallman some appeal. He's still available in about

699
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: six of NFL dot Com league, so he's out there

700
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: for people who need help again this week. Obviously it

701
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: doesn't help you because he's on a buy, but uh,

702
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a name on the waiver wire that

703
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: people are gonna start paying attention to just because he's

704
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: finding his way into the end zone. And sometimes that's

705
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: all you need, uh to be really productive and to be,

706
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, a fantasy relevant on a on a weekly basis. UM.

707
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool has been Fantasy relevant pretty much all year long. Now.

708
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: He's had some spikes, he's had some valleys, but a

709
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: pretty good game for him on Sunday, and some of

710
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 1: it at the expense of James Conner, who we were

711
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: salty about in the first block of this show. Uh So,

712
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: I would think with Chase Claypool, we we maybe have

713
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: a read on him. I don't know how are we

714
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: feeling about Chase Claypool at this point. I mean, I

715
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: think you just kind of made an argument for Wayne

716
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: Gallman saying he's very touchdown dependent, and I think the

717
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: same thing is the case for Chase Claypool. He's had

718
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: nine total touchdowns this season, two of those coming from

719
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: that game yesterday versus the Bengals. Now, I understand Chase

720
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: Claypools is good, right, and he's been fantasy relevant, but

721
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy managers kind of are over this

722
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: ebb and flow of him having really high weeks and

723
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: then not doing much at all, but then getting back

724
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: into the end zone again. I think the thing that's

725
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: that's so attractive about Chase Claypool and why he has

726
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: such a high upside a touchdown upside, is because of

727
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: his frame in his side, it's ideal for targeting him

728
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: near the goal line. And that's consistently Lee, what Ben

729
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger did? You just saw that that play right there

730
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: on video? So, yes, Cha Pool, Chase Claypool is great,

731
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: But that touchdown upside is is something to be mindful

732
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: of it and realize that a lot of his fantasy

733
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: points depend on getting into the end zone. He's been

734
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: it's sort of hard to figure in the sense that

735
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: if he has he had the one huge game with

736
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 1: the four touchdowns where he had forty two fantasy points,

737
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: but he's had some double digit games in there, had

738
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: the two touchdowns yesterday, as you mentioned, and so that

739
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: is sort of, you know, definitely what what makes him attractive.

740
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 1: But it is I always say touchdowns are fickle beasts,

741
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 1: and so it is sort of hard to necessarily bank

742
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: on that. But the Steelers like to use him around

743
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: the goal line, and I think that's the encouraging part.

744
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: It's it's one thing to look at a guy and

745
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: say touchdown regression is coming when you know they're scoring

746
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: all their touchdowns from fifteen to twenty yards away. But

747
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: because as you mentioned, they are using him near the

748
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: end zone, and so that gives you hope that the

749
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: touchdown numbers can sort of consider can can continue consistently.

750
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 1: I mean, look as we sit here right now and

751
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: and do this show, he is the wide receiver sixteen

752
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: on the season. So there is certainly reason to believe

753
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: that that he can kind of keep this rolling for

754
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Side note, by the way,

755
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster is wide receiver seventeen uh and he's

756
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: put together four straight double digit games. He's put together

757
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: back to back twenty point games, So I know the

758
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: start of the year was frustrating for Juju. He's coming around, Kimmy,

759
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: it's getting better for Juju. That makes me excited. That

760
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: makes me happy. I have no real point beyond that,

761
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: but it makes me happy. Don't drink it. Don't drink it.

762
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: I have him in and in a leaguer two, so

763
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: don't drink Keep the fantasy performances up to awesome. Well,

764
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: of those three guys between the Kissent, Gallman and Claypool,

765
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: we want to know which one you think has the

766
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: best chance to start of keep this rolling, whether or

767
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: not which one of these you think is the most

768
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: believable performance of Week ten and Beyonce. You can go

769
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: vote on that on Kimmy's Twitter page at Kimmy Checks.

770
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: Make your thoughts known about that one as well. We'll

771
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 1: decide which one of these guys is maybe the most

772
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: rosterable for the rest of the season. That's was performance

781
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: waiver wire. Some targets out there for you. At the

782
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: quarterback spot, there's of course, to a tangovaloa Tanga Bayoloa

783
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: who's playing very well right now. Jamis Winston we talked

784
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: about a little bit earlier with Drew Brees expected to

785
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: miss some time. Ben Roethlisberger, who's available in a surprising

786
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: number of NFL dot Com leaves and has some pretty

787
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: good matchups down the stretch. Running backs, Nike Hines who

788
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: looks like he's taken over in that Indianapolis backfield. Savan Akhmed,

789
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: who played very well for the Dolphins on Sunday. J

790
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: D Mackissic is there, Jordan Wilkins who's still getting quite

791
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: a bit of opportunity in Indianapolis, Wayne Goldman if you

792
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: certainly need some help. And the not on this list

793
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: that you could be in attention to though, is that

794
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: Damien Harris as well. In New England wide receivers Marquez

795
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: Valdez Scantling has had a couple of nice games back

796
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 1: to back. Alan Lazard is expected back for the Packers,

797
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: could be back as soon as next week, so the

798
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: Lazard King maybe back in play. Michael Pittman, who's starting

799
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: to get some love down in Indianapolis. Over at tight ends.

800
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of a thin wire this week at tight end,

801
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: but Logan Thomas has a matchup that makes him streaming

802
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 1: stream of bowl if you are really hurting at that spot,

803
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: and defensively, the Chargers could be on your radar as

804
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: a streaming option as well. All right, So let's talk

805
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: though about a couple of those names on that list.

806
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: The first one, Kimmy savan Akhmed and the Dolphins have

807
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: had some issues at running back and Miles Gaskin is hurt.

808
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: Matt Brita is hurt once again. Jordan Howard has given

809
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: them next to nothing, has just been inactive lately, So

810
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: yesterday I certainly would have wouldn't have pegged it, but

811
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: savan Akhmed played well and at least has put himself

812
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 1: in contention to to get some recognition here. Play well

813
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: he did. He rushed twenty one time any one times

814
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: for eighty five yards and a touchdown. But we we've

815
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: been hiding up to quite a lot as well. And uh,

816
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: I think the thing that's really important is when you

817
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: see guys like this who are way more backup players,

818
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: they have these connections with guys like to of because

819
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: they were both backups right before fits Magic or while

820
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: fits Magic will still the starting quarterback. I'm sure that

821
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: Tua and Savon we're getting some time in practice together,

822
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: and he saw that payoff. He finished with sixteen Fantasy

823
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: points and was the lead back for the Dolphins because

824
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: of all of those injuries that that backfield has seen.

825
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: So maybe this is a time to start targeting him

826
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire and feel a little bit more

827
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: comfortable of of starting him each and every week, or

828
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: at least considering a flex play for him. I think

829
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: he at least should be considered off the waiver wire.

830
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously what his role is is going

831
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: to be impacted by what happens with the Matt Breen

832
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: and Miles Gaskon, so on and so forth. But if

833
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: those guys aren't available, it does appear that the Dolphins

834
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with giving him the football and letting him

835
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: do his thing. Now next week a match up against

836
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: the Cardinals is so so. But again, you know, if

837
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: if you were needing help for running back, he should

838
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: at least be rostered. Um, So give him a shot,

839
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: keep an eye on the on the injury reports during

840
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: the week, and sort of make your determination from there

841
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: about whether or not you're gonna give him a spot

842
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: in your starting lineup. The other one is Marquez Valdes

843
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: scant link and he had a huge game on Sunday.

844
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: Davanta Adams was okay. I mean he still got you,

845
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 1: like eighteen fantasy points, not the big blow up weeks

846
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: he had been having. MBS was sort of the guy

847
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: and Kimmy part of me wants to just kind of

848
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: get back on this bandwagon, like I was on it

849
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: before and then nothing happened and I got off, and

850
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the wagon starts moving and

851
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: like I feel like this is just setting me up

852
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 1: for heartbreak again. But tell me why I should buy

853
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: back into the MVS bandwagon. I feel like this is

854
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: an abusive relationship. It's like MBS has been gaslighting you

855
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: all season log You're like, what do I do now?

856
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: Let me Let me try to convince you. We talked

857
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: about Davonte Adams. He didn't have a horrible game, but

858
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: in VS actually double the receiving production of Davante Adam,

859
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: which was really interesting. He had four receptions, a hundred

860
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: and forty nine receiving yards and a touchdown, whereas Vante

861
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: Adams he had sixty six receiving yards and a touchdown

862
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: from eight receptions. Now, NBS, this is why you guys

863
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: have a constentious relationship. This is this is why he

864
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: keeps breaking your heart because he had a huge Week one,

865
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,479
Speaker 1: then he went quiet, and then he has had back

866
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: to back really good performances for week nine and ten

867
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: of nineteen and twenty four fantasy points. So, if you're

868
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: a guy who likes consistency in your relationships, Marcus, which

869
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: I know you and you're a good guy, so I

870
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: know that's true, you may still want to back up

871
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: of NBS because I don't know if you're gonna be

872
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: able to expect this production each and every week. This

873
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: is why I just I'm struggling to buy back in

874
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: and part of it. Next week, the matchup against the

875
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: Colts is not particularly a good one. Also throwing the

876
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: fact that Alan Lazar very well could be back, and

877
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: and you know, then those guys are sort of fighting

878
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: for whatever scraps Davante Adams leaves behind in terms of targets.

879
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: I just part of me looks at MBS and like see,

880
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: like I understand. Yes, he's had two really good games.

881
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: I think he's had to combine forty three Fantasy points

882
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: in the past two weeks. That's good. I just I don't.

883
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: I don't want to get my heartbroken again. Kimmy. I can't.

884
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't get the you know, I can't

885
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: get ghosted in my fantasy lineup. Go back to week seven.

886
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: Week seven, he had nine rushing yards. That's the tweet.

887
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: That's it. Just nine rushing yards. That was all he did.

888
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: So so I I know he's out there and if

889
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: you need wide receiver help that he is an option

890
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: this week for you, simply because he seems to be

891
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: getting more looks from Aaron Rodgers. Also understand that I

892
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: come at this maybe from a jaded perspective because I

893
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: have been frustrated with MBS before. Both things can certainly

894
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: be true. That's that's. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

895
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: Um all right, So looking at this list of all

896
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: the people out there who are are waiver wire worthy

897
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: in week eleven, who is your top priority? If you

898
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: have the number one spot? I remember, I swear it

899
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 1: was last week. We need to roll back the tape

900
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: and he's like, Hi, some world to tape last week

901
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: when we were talking about this whole confusing colts Backfield

902
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Taylor and Jordan Wilkins and Nahem Himes. I

903
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: told you, I said, we need to be done with

904
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: this conversation at Jonathan Taylor does not perform well again,

905
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: it's Nahem Heimes all the way. Naheim Heimes is it

906
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: for me. I'm getting the guy on the waiver Wire.

907
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm starting him. I'm done with Jonathan Taylor. That experiment

908
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: is over. Whatever. He's ghosted me, he's broken my heart

909
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: and he and Himes now it's time for a comeback.

910
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: I I too, am we need toward Nahem Hens. Part

911
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: of it is because the matchup against the Packers is

912
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: so good next week. Also because he has a consistent,

913
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: steady role. And and look, you know I don't talking.

914
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: Look my pal professor Chris over there with the guys

915
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: at Sleeper Wire who do a very good job. He

916
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: does a show where he's ordered debates, and he and

917
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: I had a debate on Zack Moss versus Naheim Hines.

918
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: I still think I won that one, by the way, Chris,

919
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: but he did make some good points about Hines having

920
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: a steady role in this offense, and that is true.

921
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: So regardless of what is going on between Jonathan Taylor

922
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: and Jordan Wilkins, hem Hines, you know, is still going

923
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: to get his snaps, He's still going to get his targets,

924
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: He's going to get the chance to have the football

925
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: in his hands. So that to me makes him a

926
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: little bit more of a consistent option over those other

927
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: two guys. And like I said that the Packer run

928
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: defense has not been great. They struggled against running back.

929
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: So Nahem Hines is high on the list. The other

930
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: guy I would keep an eye on, and I mentioned

931
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: him briefly, was Damien Harris. And I know Harris UH

932
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: didn't have any touchdowns on Sunday Night against the Ravens.

933
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: It was Rex Birkehead that had a couple of scores.

934
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: But Damian Harris is doing work as a running back

935
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: over a hundred yards for the third time this season,

936
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: so he is worth picking up if if the Patriots

937
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: have a true RB one. It seems to be trending

938
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: toward Damien Harris. They've got the Texans next week, which

939
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 1: is another really good matchup for them. Um, so hopefully

940
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: he can hold off Sony Michelle because that's the last thing.

941
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: We need. Michelle to come back. Belichick, Belichick to start

942
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: working them in and then all of a sudden, we've

943
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: got another awful situation on our hands. Just give Damian

944
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: Harris the ball if that's and but I'm pleading with

945
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 1: you Bill, please. I know you watched the show, Bill Belichick,

946
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: and so I'm pleading with you Uh to just give

947
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: Damon Harris the rock. That's all it is to it.

948
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: All right, there's a chance that you are watching this

961
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: time on Twitter dot com recently, you can't escape the

962
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: meme of something that feels like it should be blank,

963
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: but isn't blank. I gotta some guys who feel like

964
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: they should be on your roster but maybe shouldn't. Uh.

965
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: Just it's three guys, and we'll talking about whether or

966
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: not they are worthy of being on your roster for

967
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: the stretch run. Whether they should be in your starting

968
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: lineup is a completely different conversation, but let's just start

969
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: with whether or not they at least belong on fantasy rosters.

970
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: And the first one is Malcolm Brown. Uh, it's been

971
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: a while since we've talked about this Rams backfield. At

972
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: some point I sort of just wiped my hands of

973
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: it and just kind of walked away. But Malcolm Brown

974
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: had two touchdowns on Sunday against the Seahawks. We know

975
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: Darrell Henderson is is still running the ball pretty well.

976
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: Cam Akers saw the ball a lot, but didn't really

977
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: do much with it. Is what we saw yesterday enough

978
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: for you to consider adding Malcolm Brown to your roster

979
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: for the next few weeks. I think the key in

980
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: this and this question was you can have him in

981
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: your roster, but it's a different question of if they

982
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: should be in your starting lineup. I don't hate that

983
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: you could go out and grab Malcolm Brown, but for

984
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: fantasy terms, we want consistency, and I don't just know

985
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: if the constittency is there. Because of Henderson and cam

986
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: Acres also splitting time in that backfield, it's a whole mess.

987
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm done with all fantasy running back backfield and run

988
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: in back committees. I'm done. I want to tweet every

989
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: NFL coach ever and say just stop it. So because

990
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 1: of that reason, I'm a little weary on Malcolm Brown,

991
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: but I don't hate if he's on your roster. I

992
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: keep rolling with Darryl Henderson partially to validate my own

993
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: beliefs from the start of the year, which I know

994
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: is not necessarily a smart thing to do. But uh,

995
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: he seems to be that guy that is you know,

996
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: look he is. He's sort of that midshelf bourbon right

997
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,879
Speaker 1: that you keep in the house, right, It's that sort

998
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 1: of intersection of quality and value, and that's where Darryl

999
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: Henderson is. Malcolm Brown is that hit or miss, right,

1000
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: He's Malcolm Brown is sweet potato fries, right, Like sweet

1001
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: potato fries or hit or miss, like sometimes they're really

1002
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: good and sometimes you're just kind of lying. Yeah, And

1003
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: that's sort of Malcolm Brown. And look, I if I

1004
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: have a roster there, I have rosters that are very

1005
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: deep and leagues that are very deep and where you

1006
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: need running back help, and so having a guy like

1007
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown in those situations I think is worthwhile. I

1008
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: think in most you know, traditional you know, ten even

1009
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: twelve team leagues, I don't know that you need moulk

1010
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: Brown on your roster. The two touchdowns are nice, but

1011
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, as you mentioned, Kimmy, it's just there's just

1012
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: not enough consistency there with those three guys sort of

1013
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: rotating through, So I think outside of really really deep leagues,

1014
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm buying it. Uh. Down in Miami, though,

1015
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: jeachiem Grant, who is a just a speedy guy, kind

1016
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: of an all purpose guy in that offense there, he's

1017
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: gotten some run the last couple of weeks. Are we

1018
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: kind of turning towards him, especially with Preston Williams injured.

1019
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 1: As gonna say, the Preston Williams injury obviously boost all

1020
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: of the fantasy stock for g K Grant and shout

1021
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: out to Adam Rank because on the NFL Fantasy Game Day,

1022
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: Jachem Grant with his Sleeper of the Week and Adam Rank.

1023
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: I never like to give you praise or say you're right,

1024
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: but you're right with this one. However, Marcus, with this

1025
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: uncertainty of when Preston Williams is going to re enter

1026
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: that offense, I don't think I'm jumping to go grab

1027
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 1: Jachem Grant because I don't quite know what his production

1028
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: will be for the rest of the season if Preston

1029
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: Williams does come back and play, But for right now,

1030
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm kind of enjoying this Jachem Grant ride, Yeah, I

1031
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: think I think I would at least roster him. Um.

1032
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know that I'm starting him necessarily

1033
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 1: because I don't know that the production is going to

1034
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: be there regularly, but uh, if I want a guy

1035
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: that I can sort of plug into a flex spot,

1036
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: then you know, in a pinch, I think Grant is

1037
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: one that I would like, partially because two has gotten

1038
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: me excited about this offense in Miami and has me

1039
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 1: in a spot where like, hey, I'd like to see

1040
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: if I can pick up some of the skill position

1041
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: guys there, just because this group is sort of cooking

1042
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: right now. So um, again, he's not more than a

1043
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: flex option, I think when the matchup is right. But

1044
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: I do think that that he is worthy with what

1045
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: he's done the last couple of weeks to be on

1046
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: a roster, just because as long as Preston Williams is

1047
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 1: out then then there's gonna be some opportunity there. The

1048
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: last one is Marvin Jones, and I talked about, you know,

1049
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: sort of being gaslighted by Marquez Valdes Scantling. I feel

1050
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: like the fantasy community as a whole kind of has

1051
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: the same relationship with Marvin Jones, where we come into

1052
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: the season, we think, hey, Marvin Jones, it seems like

1053
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: a good option. He's gonna get targets. He's at the

1054
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: beginning part of this year not really doing much. And

1055
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: now the last couple of weeks, I think, when everybody

1056
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: had sort of been frustrated and starting to give up

1057
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: on Marvin Jones, he comes to life. So does this

1058
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: mean we should be back in? Have we made up?

1059
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: Are we cool now with Marvin Jones at this point? Now,

1060
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: out of these three guys, I think Marvin Jones is

1061
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: my favorite and the one that I absolutely think should

1062
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: be on your roster and should be considered uh flex

1063
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: play or a solid start every single week. Now I

1064
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: say this with apprehension and some hate in my heart

1065
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: as well, because he mentioned he wasn't good that first

1066
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: half of the season, so I traded him away, and

1067
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: of course the week after I trade him away, he

1068
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 1: blows up, which is just my luck in a nutshell.

1069
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: So he had eight receptions nineties six yards, and a

1070
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: touchdown on Sunday. This is his third week in a

1071
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: row with at least one touchdown. He's had four touchdowns

1072
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: and that three week span. So I think, speaking of

1073
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: all three of these guys in the consistency they bring,

1074
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones has finally started to exploit the absence of

1075
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: Kinny Golladay. So I think these are good signs moving

1076
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: forward for him the rest of the season. He still

1077
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: doesn't like a huge yard game. He doesn't have a

1078
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: hundred yard game yet this season, but the touchdowns in

1079
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: four straight weeks, as you mentioned, UH, definitely helps, uh

1080
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: make you feel better, especially on a three straight weeks.

1081
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: I should say four touchdowns in three weeks makes you

1082
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,439
Speaker 1: feel better about it. Uh, certainly, No Kenny Golladay helps,

1083
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: but he is the one guy in this group that

1084
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: I feel like isn't quite as dependent on who is

1085
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: or isn't there around him. Right, we talked about, uh,

1086
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 1: you know what's going on in Miami, which a team grant.

1087
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: We talk about Malcolm Brown in Los Angeles and sort

1088
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: of how that rotation shakes out. Marvin Jones is the

1089
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,399
Speaker 1: guy that you feel like still has a role even

1090
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: when everybody is healthy and ready to go and in

1091
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 1: their normal spot. Now. I know it hasn't quite worked

1092
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 1: that way this year, but you can at least tell

1093
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: yourself the story and have it be plausible. And I

1094
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: think that's sort of important with Marvin Jones. So he's

1095
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: only rostered in of NFL dot Com league, which means

1096
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: that he's probably still hanging on the waiver wire and

1097
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues, and so certainly, as long as

1098
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: Galaday is out, Marvin Jones needs to be added in leagues.

1099
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: But I think even in most leagues it is worth

1100
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,919
Speaker 1: having Marvin Jones on your roster. One of the many

1101
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: places you can stream this show is in the NFL

1102
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: Fantasy App, and hopefully you have already downloaded. I mean,

1103
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: it's week almost weak eleven. What have you been doing

1104
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: If you haven't already, but it's never too late. You

1105
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,959
Speaker 1: can download the NFL Fantasy App for the low low

1106
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 1: cost of free nine nine and the best part is

1107
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: on top of being able to play fantasy football and

1108
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: you can watch live local games for absolutely free. That

1109
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: includes tonight's Monday Night football game between the Vikings and Bears.

1110
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: So if you haven't already get on it, download the

1111
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy App wherever you download fine applications. Uh, speaking

1112
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: of Monday Night Football, it does wrap up week ten.

1113
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: It is the Vikings and the Bears an old school

1114
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: n I called the NFC, since like the old school

1115
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: NFC Central back when it was you know, the Bears

1116
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: and the Vikings and the Lions and the Packers and

1117
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who you know, obviously represent the

1118
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: central part of the country down there in Florida. What look,

1119
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, Kim. If you if you are old

1120
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: enough to remember, like NFL geography used to be really bad.

1121
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: I am old enough to remember when the San Francisco

1122
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: forty Niners were the only NFC West team actually in

1123
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,919
Speaker 1: the West, when they played in the same division as

1124
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 1: the St. Louis Rams, the Atlanta Falcons, the New Orleans Saints,

1125
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: and the Carolina Panthers. Once upon a time, that was

1126
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: the I like, I'm picturing a map of the United

1127
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: States and like all these little dots and the strings

1128
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: connecting them, and someone looking at that and be like, yeah,

1129
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: all those guys should be in the same division that

1130
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: that makes perfect sense, right, so uh so, yeah, But

1131
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: but it is now the NFC North. The geography has

1132
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: been figured out. All of our all of our divisions

1133
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: for the most part, makes some sense now in the NFL,

1134
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: So anyway, Vikings and bears interesting one on paper, certainly

1135
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 1: interesting fantasy wise. One of the names that I know

1136
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: I've gotten a lot of questions about the last few

1137
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: days has been Adam Feeling, and the last couple of

1138
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 1: weeks have not been very good for him. The Vikings

1139
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: are running the ball effectively. The Air's defense is tough

1140
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 1: if you've waited this long anymore. Traditionally you are starting

1141
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 1: Adam Feeland because what are you going to pivot to

1142
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 1: at this point on Monday night. But if you're playing DFS,

1143
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,760
Speaker 1: you still have some options, and considering everything around him,

1144
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: would you put Adam Feeling in a Daily Fantasy lineup?

1145
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. It was putting my Daily Fantasy

1146
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: lineup together this morning, and I strategically did not put

1147
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 1: Adam Feeland in because, like you said, the Vikings have

1148
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 1: figured out that they're dominating the run game with Dalvin Cook.

1149
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: That means the favor the game script does favor the

1150
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: run game. The price of Adam Feeland is way too high.

1151
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 1: If you want to pick up a Vikings receiver, maybe

1152
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: you go with Justin Jefferson instead. Plus, like you said,

1153
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: this is a really tough matchup. Against the Bears, who

1154
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 1: have only allowed three wide receivers to score touchdowns this season.

1155
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: So for the price of Adam Feeland, I think I'm

1156
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: going to fade them in daily fantasy and look to

1157
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: get a part of the Vikings run game instead. I

1158
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: probably would as well. I mean, if I'm looking for

1159
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: pass catchers, yeah, maybe I take a shot at Justin

1160
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 1: Jefferson and hope he gets a deep throw or something

1161
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 1: like that. But even then, I don't know how much

1162
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: I love even Jefferson in that one. We'll talk a

1163
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: little bit about the Bears in in just a second

1164
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: in their past catching group, but I think it would

1165
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: trying to try to work around feeling just because I

1166
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: don't I don't like the range of outcomes for him

1167
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: against this Bears defense tonight, So that's what I try

1168
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: to stay away from. We talked about the running game

1169
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,240
Speaker 1: and Dalvin Cook and how great he has been pretty

1170
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: much all season, but especially the last few weeks. If

1171
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: you're projecting points for him, you know, get your Cynthia

1172
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: freedland on and project a little bit. What do you

1173
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: think uh is in the offing for Dalvin Cook tonight? Alright,

1174
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,439
Speaker 1: crust of all time I'm gonna rock with fantasy points.

1175
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 1: This guy has been incredible, uh, you know, earlier this

1176
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: week on our last week on Fantasy Live, I was

1177
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: talking about midway season m v p s and Dalvin

1178
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: Cook was one. He has dominated the run game. He

1179
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: is one of the top fantasy and just regular running

1180
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 1: backs of the league. So I think an easy twenty

1181
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: four point performance for him tonight against the Chicago Bears.

1182
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna dewnggrade it a little bit. I'm gonna

1183
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: say eighteen, which is fine. It's not particularly great. Part

1184
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 1: of it is that only three running backs have had

1185
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 1: eighty or more rushing yards against the Bears so far

1186
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: this season, and the look Dobin Cook has been phenomenal,

1187
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: uh for the last five weeks, a hundred and thirty

1188
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,439
Speaker 1: or more rushing yards. So I would say you put

1189
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: him maybe around a hundred rushing yards a little bit

1190
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,879
Speaker 1: more than that give him a touchdown. So I'm gonna

1191
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: give him about eighteen points. I think it's still a

1192
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: very good game for him, just not one of those

1193
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,399
Speaker 1: video game type numbers performances we've seen from him over

1194
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: the last month. Flipping to the bare side of things,

1195
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson as we sit and record this show is questionable.

1196
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 1: We're waiting to see whether or not he's going to

1197
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: play another guy that I've gotten a lot of questions about.

1198
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 1: But if he cannot go, uh, look, there's Anthony Miller,

1199
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: there's Darnell Mooney. Where would you pivot to if Allen

1200
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: Robinson is a no go on Monday Night? Right? So,

1201
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: if Alan Robinson is a no go tonight, I'm gonna

1202
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: pivot to Darnell Mooney because of how good he was

1203
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: back in Week nine against the Tennessee Titans. He led

1204
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: all Chicago Bears receivers in targets in Week nine. Just

1205
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 1: because of that fact alone, I think that Darnell Mooney

1206
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 1: is probably the safest receiving option for the Bears right now.

1207
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: What do you think, Marcus? I agree with that. And

1208
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: I think also because if I'm gonna go with guys

1209
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: who maybe have a limited target share, who have a,

1210
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, a situation where it may be tough to

1211
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: get them the football, I want guys who are going

1212
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: to get me air yards per target, and Darnell Mooney

1213
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: is more of that guy. And this is a bit

1214
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: of a shift for me because coming into the season.

1215
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: I liked Anthony Miller is a sleeper in this offense.

1216
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: It just hasn't worked out. And we've seen Mooney step

1217
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: up and really fill a nice role for this Bears offense.

1218
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: So if there is no Allen Robinson, I think I

1219
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: like Mooney a little bit more. Um, you know, I

1220
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: think it's a deep sleeper. I still like Mooney even

1221
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: if a Robin is there, simply because if they take

1222
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: a couple of deep shots, it doesn't take much for

1223
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: him to necessarily put up an okay number for you

1224
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: in fantasy. Last thing here in the backfield, David Montgomery

1225
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: has already been ruled out. The Bears have have elevated

1226
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller, and they think that he will probably get

1227
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: some snaps tonight. Maybe you have a decent sized workload.

1228
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: Cordarrell Patterson, maybe back there, Ryan Noll, maybe back there. Uh,

1229
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: if we are picking, is there a Bear's running back

1230
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: that you would maybe side with this evening? No, I'm

1231
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna just avoid the Bears running game. That

1232
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: was no shade, That was Demastochie. Don't let my face

1233
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: be a distracted. This is why I have no poker face.

1234
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: I could never ever ever be at a poker table,

1235
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: because I would just give away my answer from the jump.

1236
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: But now I'm probably gonna avoid this one. I know,

1237
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Noll, maybe if you're way in in a deeper

1238
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: league and you don't have any other options to start

1239
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: tonight for Monday next football, you can look at him.

1240
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: He got his first touchdown on the season last week

1241
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans. But I'm kind of just gonna

1242
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 1: avoid this one altogether. Same. I don't think there's any

1243
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: of these guys that I feel confident enough in to

1244
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: give them some opportunity. I mean literally, Lamar Miller is

1245
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: going to probably play his first game in well over

1246
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: a year behind an offensive line that is struggling to

1247
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: block get into open hole, so that certainly is not encouraging.

1248
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 1: Cordell Patterson is sort of a nice gadget guy, but

1249
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: I don't I don't trust him to get enough opportunity

1250
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: to really make a dent. And Ryan Noll is I mean,

1251
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: he's a nice stop gap I think in real football,

1252
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: but certainly not productive enough for me to consider using him,

1253
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: uh in in fantasy football, pretty and pretty much in

1254
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 1: any form, whether it's standard, whether it's it's daily, I'm

1255
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: pretty much pretty much away from that. So, uh so

1256
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: are you ready for for I know we're not quite

1257
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: a week eleven yet, but now are you? Are you

1258
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: back in Chief's mode? That nothing you know that they're

1259
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: going to be back in action this week? Back in

1260
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: chiefs mode. And now that we're getting closer and closer

1261
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: to the holidays, and like, okay, fantasy football playoffs are here,

1262
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: the normal playoffs are here, are the holidays are here.

1263
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: So once I feel like we hit Thanksgiving, and especially

1264
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: like week eleven, a week twelve of the season, this

1265
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: is when I'm like fully locked and loaded and ready

1266
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 1: to go. So I feel surreal and and I think

1267
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,919
Speaker 1: it's another huge testament to the NFL and everyone who's

1268
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: trying to stay safe amidst his COVID nineteen pandemic, because

1269
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, we didn't know if

1270
00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: we would be able to make it to the end

1271
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: of week ten in the beginning of week eleven, So

1272
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: really impressive incudas to everyone who continues to mask up

1273
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: and be safe and socially distanced where they can so

1274
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: that we can go and have a fantasy and a

1275
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: normal regular season playoff and then get to watch the

1276
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, uh in just a few months. Amen to

1277
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: all of that, and on that note that it's it's

1278
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: we are done. We appreciate you hanging out with the
