00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: The Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on Home

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: on Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson and his time

4
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: for the Fantasy Football Focus. And uh wow, what a

5
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: kind of a down. I'd say it wasn't a very

6
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: good fantasy week for they were going into tonight's game

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks who had more than three passing yard yesterday.

8
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean, there was never happened. Weather was a factor

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: in some places. Obviously the game in Pittsburgh's starting to

10
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: get to that point buffle era, I'm sorry, was a problem.

11
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean even games in New England and we're getting

12
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: weather games and it was you know, the country, especially

13
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: East Coast was hit pretty hard over the weekend. Um,

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: real quick. I have a little nugget for one of

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: those three under yard passers, one with Pat Mahomes. You

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: know we saw him last night. Heard this on the

17
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: way here. He just went past Kurt Warner for most

18
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: career three hundred yard games in their first five years

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: in the league. Well, he's only been a starter three

20
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: and a half years. That record Warner was kind of

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, but when Warner got his rookie year was

22
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: considered that Ramsy year his first year, but he didn't

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: start the season as the starter. But like that's that's true,

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: But I think it was week one that he went in,

25
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, but somewhere around there still, I mean Marino

26
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: and all these guys that started from day one, But

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: he threw the ball like that one. But I mean

28
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: that's still remarkably in three and a half years, he's

29
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: the highest number for a five year starter. Pretty crazy.

30
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: All this game did last night. He was thirty five

31
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: or fifty for four oh six and five touchdowns. Give

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: me though, he took the layups and they're played a

33
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: little differently, but he still took some shots and did

34
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: all that stuff. As Tyreek on the bomb to the UM,

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: I think it said more about the Raiders than it did. Yes,

36
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: they couldn't pressure him at all. They they're the only

37
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: team in the league whose base defense is still that

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: Seahawk cover three and the league's figured it out and

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: everyone in the league is playing too high safety against

40
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and they don't, you know, like you know.

41
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: So it was a really good matchup for Kansas City,

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: and Reid knows that team back and forth and they're

43
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: coming off a loss to the Giants. I'm talking about

44
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Rugs stuff and Gruden stuff. I

45
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: think it's catching up with that team in general. Like

46
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: last SEM when we were talking about AFC playoffs and stuff,

47
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the Raiders are really in it. No. No,

48
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: We're watching some of the highlights of this game, and

49
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: there was some again, some balls that that Mahomes through

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: in this game that they could have been picked. He

51
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: took some fifty fifty stuff. He still takes those chances,

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: he does, and I'm sure he always will. I mean,

53
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: I will say though, Yeah, he showed the play where

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: he rolled right through it all the way across the field.

55
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: Should have been a pit a jump ball to Darryl Henderson,

56
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, and he would have been made a play

57
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: for him. But I mean Henderson is receiving. Yeah, that's

58
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: a low that's you don't you don't teach that. That's

59
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: a high risk play. And frankly, even if he's Homes

60
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: or Rodgers, that's still a bad decision. Um One note,

61
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: though I thought it was the best Kelsey's looked. I

62
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: think Kelsey's looked a little old slash injured for the

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: throughout the year, and he's started. He looked a lot

64
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: better than this year. The other three yard game was

65
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, very efficient, two touchdowns in an interception. Um

66
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: could have done more to Yeah, I mean they took

67
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: the foot off the gas. One of the many blowouts.

68
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean that was seventeen game Trevor Simeon against the

69
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: against Tennessee nineteen and thirty four for two touchdowns. He

70
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: was sacked four times. Is he gonna be the guy

71
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. Taysom Hill played like ten

72
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: or fifteen snaps though, Yeah, but I think he is

73
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: the guy. He's there, he's there, thrower of the football. Yeah,

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: this is two games in a row. I know he's

75
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Trevor Simmons will never get credit for it. He's been fine,

76
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: he's okay. I mean, if you're if you're in a

77
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: two quarterback, if you're in a in a quarterback flex

78
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: league where you can play two quarterbacks, he should be

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: in your league. Yeah. I mean, if the Steelers would

80
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: have got quarterback play that Trevor Simmons put out there

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: since he became the same starter yesterday, that the Lions

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: games are very close. I mean, he's not great. The

83
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: probably won't keep up, but you know that coach show

84
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: us how to get the most out of the position.

85
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: To Dak Prescott with a steak. Speaking of games, and

86
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: they just took the foot off the gas. He could

87
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: have thrown for five yards in that game. He was

88
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: phenomenal in that game mentally accuracy, totally back from the

89
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: week before where he really struggled. Phenomenal performance, a lot

90
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: of ceedee lamb out of the slot, just torturing those

91
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: guys and again the fourth quarter didn't matter. Yeah to

92
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. He also ran for like fifty yards and

93
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: a touchdown. It was a nice fantasy game for Dak

94
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins against this Chargers team that the Steelers will

95
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: see on the Sunday night. Thirty seven to two touchdowns.

96
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: He was sacked twice, he did fumble, but they win

97
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: that game twenty and you can run all over this

98
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: Chargers team. Their defense is not good, No, it's not.

99
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: Their run defense is especially horrid. And if you can't

100
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: stay like you can't stop to run, you're putting your

101
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: corners on an island then and yeah, aosto is the

102
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: only pass rusher. I think that defense like Staley looks

103
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: like a good young coach. You know, everyone thinks he's

104
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: a genius and all that. This offseason will be about

105
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: getting his defensive pieces in place. I mean they're playing

106
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: his system with the wrong the guys. This is really

107
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: what's happening there. But fantasy note there. I know we'll

108
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: get the receivers justin. Jefferson was awesome on this game.

109
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: Really look good too. Yeah, he's a great young player.

110
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: Rogers goes in his comeback thy seven to ninety two,

111
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: did throw an interception? Not obviously his best game. Weather

112
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: was a factor. They win the game seventeen nothing. Him

113
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: and Wilson really didn't play well. No, I mean people

114
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: think Steelers Lions was hard to watch. This one was

115
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: the list three nothing in the first half with Aaron

116
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Russell Wilson. Yeah, either one like you looked

117
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: like that'd be a great game to watch, super fun.

118
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: It really wasn't. Yeah, Derek Carr was seventh and yeah, yeah,

119
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke had to fifty six in the touchdown Mike

120
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: White that he turned into a pumpkin. Yeah, if he's

121
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: ranked ahead of Roethlisberger this week on this quarter, there's

122
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: a problem. I mean, come on, man, yeah, look, he

123
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: played well though, we kind of just breezed over this

124
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: is this is the Mason Rudolph argument though, because Mason

125
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: Rudolph was actually tent he was thirty and fifties for

126
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: two forty two in a touchdown. You mentioned like last week, well,

127
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: Mike White's gonna he'll be a backup quarterback in the

128
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: league now for the next ten years on what he

129
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: didn't in in one quarters of play again, So it

130
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: was Rudolph Rudolf. Yeah, that's yeah, yeah, yeah right right.

131
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: Do you have a better career than Chase Daniel, Right?

132
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: I mean he gets five million a year no matter

133
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: where he goes. Yeah, I mean that's just the way

134
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: it goes. I wrote that in my in my analysis

135
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: of the game today, and people are coming after me,

136
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: Well he lost he lost his job the Dock Hodges. No,

137
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: he didn't. That's not what happened. And you know, somebody comes, well,

138
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: Pro Football Us. It was who does the d B

139
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: o A? Football Siders? Football Siders, Duck Hodges d b

140
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: o A was better than than Mason Rudolph's and any

141
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: of his starts in those you know, I'm like that

142
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he was not a better player anyone watched

143
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: every staff and not in the NFL right now. There's

144
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: a reason for that, and he might never be, and

145
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: he might never he probably never will be again. He

146
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: looks like a high school coach. I know, Mac Jones

147
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: is getting a ton of Yeah, he's not great for

148
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: fantasy at all. He's nineteen nineteen twenty three great, that's fantastic.

149
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: He looks like he belongs three touchdowns. He's not very

150
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: usable for fantasy. He's not useful at all for fantasy.

151
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: I've been asked a couple of times in the last

152
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: day or two, please re pick the rookie quarterbacks, knowing

153
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: what you know now, and maybe we could even do

154
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: that later in a week or whatever. I mean, I

155
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: like Mac Jones more than now than I did off

156
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: his Bama tape, But if he were in New York

157
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: or Chicago, it wouldn't go quite this well. He's a

158
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: total game manager, he is, and he looks unbelievably comfortable.

159
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: And from what I understand, the Patriots put more on

160
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: their quarterback mentally than just about any team in the league,

161
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: and he's handling it. But this is what he thought.

162
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: He was, you know, like he is what he thought

163
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: he is and he probably should get Rookie of the Year.

164
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not bashing him at all, but if

165
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: we're talking about fantasy, he's useless. He's useless. Yeah, for

166
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: a guy who's a starting quarterback and link it has

167
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,599
Speaker 1: been all season and you gotta throw five touch on

168
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: a game like Brady to be useful to you. That's

169
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll take Justin Fields over him right now,

170
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: moving forward, I'll take Lawrence over him moving like right

171
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: for for fantasy fantasy, you know, refe. Yeah, and if

172
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: we were repicking him, he wouldn't be my first pick. No, no,

173
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: but he's good. Uh. Leading rushers yesterday there were only

174
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: four yard rushers. If you watch the Steeler game, you

175
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: got to see two of them in the same game,

176
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift thirty three carries for a hundred and thirty

177
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: yards um. Note he did not score. They're both of

178
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: their touchdowns came from guys that were fantasy irrelevant. Yeah.

179
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: I had Swift and Hawk in that game in my

180
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: main league and Hawk zero. Swift was fine, but didn't

181
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: get either touchdown. And if we mentioned his receiving three

182
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: catches for five yards that wasn't in this one. So yeah,

183
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: it's a hundred and thirty yards game. You're going, oh yeah,

184
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: And he played well, but he didn't score and he

185
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: didn't catch any passing. He was better in real life

186
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: than fantasy, you know. Yeah, Jonathan Taylor did it once

187
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: again in a touchdown. You look at that line, you go,

188
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: why didn't you touch the ball more? The game was close?

189
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: What does involved? And he there's five and a half

190
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: yards of carry, Like I mean, I don't know if

191
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: he's better or worse than Nagy, but if he was

192
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: used like Nagy, oh it's bokes, you know, he would

193
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: be far and away the best fantasy asset in the league. Um.

194
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: I heard that. Like one of the arguments that I

195
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: heard from the Steelers people are people who watched Steeler fans,

196
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: I should watching that game. Well, they threw the ball

197
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: too much, they didn't run enough. Not here's at twenty

198
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: six carries yesterday. He had four catches too, he had

199
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: thirty touches. How many is he supposed to have? I'm

200
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: in that camp too, though I thought they threw the

201
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: ball too much too, there's no doubt. But but I

202
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: wrote this in an article make but that means snell

203
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: and balage. It doesn't mean you can't run this. You know,

204
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: people that will then complaining. You can't complain about them

205
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: running him into the ground. You can't have it both ways.

206
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't go in and say, well, Nazi's

207
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: gotta touch about forty times in this game. It's a

208
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: human being. I mean, I would have liked to see

209
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: McFarland are active in hindsight and maybe giving him six

210
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: carries in millage five and you know, but they're just

211
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: handled so much for him. I mean, if you want

212
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: to talk about the failures, there's the failure like these

213
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: other guys have to be involved more. It's not Harris

214
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: and you can't give him max and give you can't

215
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: have thirty touches is plenty. But yes, I realized it's

216
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: the ball is not heavy, but there's Yeah, there's five

217
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: quarters to play. It attracts a lot of attention. It does, Yes,

218
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: it does. Romandi Stevenson twenty carries for a hundred yards,

219
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: looks really good doing it. Touchdowns one of the few

220
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: times where there was a lead back in New England backfield,

221
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: and he got a high percentage of touches. That to

222
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: me is more Browns are in a bad spot right

223
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: now and Patriots dominated them. That's why mac Jones is

224
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: able to be affected because they're running them if they're

225
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: not running the ball effectively, and then it's the store

226
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: and he's not thereow Lines getting healthier right now too.

227
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: And you know Trent Brown's back and they dominated the game.

228
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: Uh Dernis Johnson had nineteen did not score but five

229
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: point to a carry. Yeah, it didn't make a huge

230
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: impact though, I mean they were losing a lot, and

231
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean the quarterback play for the Browns was really bad. Yeah,

232
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying they should have kept Odell. I

233
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: don't believe they should have, but they don't have a

234
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: receiver that scares you either. You know, like they're they're

235
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,599
Speaker 1: they're passing game is rough and it defects the run game. Um.

236
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey thirteen. But he got nicked up in that

237
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: game again, right, he was yes and no because he

238
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: went out and he was like yelling at doctors or

239
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: coaches or something like I'm totally fine, you know, like

240
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: it don't I'm not going into damn blue tenth And

241
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: they came right back in or there was nothing wrong

242
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: with them. And they went up heavy too, you know,

243
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: so Chuba Hubbard got one of those jet sweep catches

244
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: slash runs that you know, McCafe he could have had

245
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: they handled the cards so they didn't ask a ton

246
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: from him. But he looks he looks great. I mean,

247
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: he's a big reason they got up like they did. Yeah. Uh,

248
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook didn't have the smash game that we thought.

249
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: Uh twenty four carries, which is a nice number for him,

250
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: only ninety four yards and he did he did score,

251
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: so it wasn't a complete game. But yeah, I expected more. Yeah,

252
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: I thought I'd go crazy. Jordan Howard is becoming a thing.

253
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: He had twelve free that's legit. Les Sanders has me

254
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: back soon, though, you would think, and then they they

255
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: won't hand him the football like mile Sanders has to

256
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: be sitting on I R right now, going what the

257
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: hell is this? I'm getting two carries a game. No,

258
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: I get hurt, and now all of a sudden we're

259
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: running the football like crazy. It started three weeks ago

260
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: when he had coincidentally went on I R eighty degree

261
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: with how they play offense. I mean just they hand

262
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: the ball off like crazy, and they're winning because Boston

263
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: Scott had eleven for eighty one. Yeah, yeah, the Eagles

264
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: are doing good things. I did not see that coming.

265
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: So when he just didn't play bad, would you would

266
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: you try to make it trade for him? Right now? Sanders? Yeah,

267
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: twenty three carries for a hundred and sixty four yards.

268
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: That's how I spend every week. That's three weeks and

269
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: Rus Sanders is way better than either one of them.

270
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: I assume the coaching staff agrees with us, but why

271
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: they might take the ain't broke? Why fixed routine too?

272
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what to think. Blue Moys

273
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: talks about hates the bet on rational coaching because you

274
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: don't always get not that we know more than them,

275
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: but come on, you know, like you would think. Miles

276
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: Sanders falls right in there. Jamal Agnew three carries for

277
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: seventy nine yards in a touchdown like that's that line

278
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: won't keep up. But they use them every he gets

279
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: crazy usage, crazy usage, right, I mean, he's at least

280
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: the flex every week he plays a lot, and they

281
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: get him the ball every way shape. They find ways

282
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: to get a playmaker of the football. Yeah, right, right now,

283
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: they're they're getting a little better too as a team.

284
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: This guy is gonna be a J. Dylon one carry

285
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: sixty six yards only three point one to carry two

286
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns and Aaron Jones is now out the next couple

287
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: of weeks. Aaron Jones owners were hating Dylan the last

288
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks when he was Jones was healthy. Now

289
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna wish they owned him. Dylan was good and

290
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: he's catching the ball. They're using him in every situation.

291
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't even think they were like down on Jones.

292
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: I just I think it's more of a fifty fifty

293
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: when they're healthy. Now if he's getting ninety, forget about it.

294
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: I got in my main fantasy league. I've got Zeke,

295
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, A J. Dillon and the next guy, Antonio Gibson,

296
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: who had twenty four for sixty four against a very

297
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: very good dude that you have to love the volume

298
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: because he hadn't gotten it and he scored twice, so

299
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: I had screwed up. I had to pick two of

300
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: the three. I had Freeman what's his face? Williams with

301
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: the Denver and uh our boy Gibbey and I sat

302
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: Gibbey on the bench and the other two were okay,

303
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: he was the dog you can get carries a game,

304
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: and and and he's playing against Tampa and he's not

305
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: catching the football town. He still didn't do that. He

306
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: had two touchdowns, which inflated things a little, but he

307
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: got twenty four carries. Yeah, and the beauty of it

308
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: is the short dude Patterson had like three touches. Yeah,

309
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, and I mean the the the issues, the

310
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: injury issue with it with his uh shin had been

311
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: an issue problem for him. I think moving forward now

312
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: coming off thereby, he's fired. He could play him now.

313
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: He wasn't on the injury report this week, right, you know,

314
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: just full steam ahead. He's an RB two that could

315
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: really start to pick up these kind of games every week. Uh.

316
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: James Robinson returned, He had twelve or fifty seven and

317
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Game script kind of effected, you know. Yeah,

318
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: but he's a quality starter. Yeah. Um some other guys

319
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: Wayne Gallman got fifteen forty five. I missed that. They

320
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: were getting crushed in that game. They haven't had a

321
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: running game all season long. Who's he played for now Atlanta? No,

322
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: he's sorry, he's with Yeah, he's with Atlanta. I was

323
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: just about to say my phone one minute ago, Cordurell

324
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: Patterson could miss several weeks with an ankle because Mike

325
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: Davis played a lot Mike Davis. Now, is he back

326
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: in good graces with fantasy owners? I don't know. I

327
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: mean that team scored three, but that they were they lost.

328
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, I get it. It's hard

329
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: to bank on that being the usual. I guess he's

330
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a hot pick up with with I mean,

331
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: Davis is in every league, Patterson's out a couple of weeks.

332
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: Assuming that's true, Galman is gonna get picked up in

333
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: every league without a doubt. Yeah, yeah, I don't know

334
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: by me though, Yeah not me. Uh yeah. So I'm

335
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: moving on to the receivers. Um, it was great to

336
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: see Diggs have a big game, especially this week given

337
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean there were only six receiving games that yeah,

338
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: there weren't. This was not a huge Fantasy weeks. Had

339
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: eight for one sixty two and a touchdown. Jefferson who

340
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned, nine for one three but didn't score. Travis

341
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: Kelsey let no surprise their eight for one nineteen but

342
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: didn't score. Um, Gabriel Davis three for one oh five.

343
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: He's a he's a dart throws. Dart throw I mean

344
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: that's I wonder was digs on the sideline in the

345
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and Davis is catching passes. I mean, that

346
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: wasn't what pay attention to that game the fourth quarter

347
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: was over. We talked about this last week with with

348
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire coming back. Yeah, Darryl Williams caught nine

349
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: passes for a hundred one yards in a touchdown. Is

350
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: that going to is? I mean one of them was

351
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: a play with reference from it shouldn't have been thrown

352
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: jump all but again, nine catches, but they showed patients

353
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: and they dumped it down when that was what the

354
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: defense gave up. Edwards Hilaire, if he starts better than yeah,

355
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: he'll do that right, much better. That's what I thought

356
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: when they drafted him, how they were going to use him,

357
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: and they haven't. Yeah, especially in PPR. I think Edwards

358
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: Hilaire's But the problem then back this week. Yeah, the

359
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: problem then becomes, oh, is he any better in protection

360
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 1: or does it stay? Does Williams can continue in that

361
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: role because Williams is useful, he's playing well, Yeah, I

362
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 1: don't know that's the that I would like to get

363
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: Edwards a layer in my line up. Though next week,

364
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: how about this guy, because we now know that they

365
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: have issues at wide receiver. Marcus Johnson had five for

366
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: one hundred for the Titans that ty Jileo Jones is

367
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: now and I are I know A J. Brown did nothing.

368
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: He drew a lot of attention. He had one for seventeen.

369
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: We had a good laugh on my podcast today because

370
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: if you pull up the box score for Titan Saints,

371
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: the fantasy relevance is so bad. There are a bunch

372
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: of people who nobody knows anything about, you know, Ingram

373
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: wasn't even on the team. And I mean like the

374
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: quarterbacks Tannehill's you know, useful Simeon, Simeon and Hill and

375
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: Ingram and the Saints receivers or a bunch of no

376
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: names and the Titans receivers not named A J. Brown

377
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: or a bunch of no names. I don't know, man,

378
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: I mean three backs got carries, and Foreman is probably

379
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: the one to own. You have to pick him up,

380
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: I guess, especially at this point in the year. These

381
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: guys don't come out of it, you know, right, He's

382
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: got an opportunity. What's his face? With the three names

383
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: for the Titans, I thought would be the number two,

384
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: But I don't think he is. You know what, you'll

385
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: call it Smith, you know what I'm talking about, the

386
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: kid from Indiana. Um, yeah, I don't know, man. I

387
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: mean he he had a hundred yard game, can be

388
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: at pickup, He'll be picked up. I wouldn't spend a

389
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: lot of fab money on him. I don't know that

390
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: much about him. Keenan Allen just missed it didn't score

391
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: Kendrick Born a touchdown? They use him well, I mean

392
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: I laughed at them when they signed him, to be honest, like,

393
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money for the first day of

394
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: free agency for Kendrick Borne. But the Patriots no stuff

395
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: and they're they're they're using guys the right way. Does

396
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: he fantasy relevance or a starter? That's a stretch. It's

397
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: a stretch with got a touchdown in that game. Finally

398
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: finally broke the first and first one. I kept the ball.

399
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: He should That's not happen again. Uh ceedee lamb six

400
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: and two scores could even do more dominant Yeah, um

401
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: Corey Davis returns gets five. Looks like Zack Wilson is

402
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: going to start. They're going forward as he should, as

403
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: he should. You know, no, no super shock there. This

404
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: is an unbelievably optimistic view, and I'm not sure that

405
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: I totally believe it, But I wonder if him sitting

406
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: down a couple of weeks as the Jets offense did

407
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: some good things more and Davis and Carter and the

408
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: old line see things a little different to sit there

409
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: and watch film and then you think they did the

410
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: right thing. They went and get Flacco, right, at least

411
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: get they didn't have that before, Like, who's he talking

412
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: to before this? Mike White? He's never play in the

413
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: NFL game here, They're right, they didn't have an adult

414
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: in the room, you know. Yeah, now you've got you

415
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: got Flacco there. When you're watching the film and say,

416
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: he look, here's what he Here's okay, the ball didn't

417
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: go here, did go here? And this is where it

418
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: should have gone? All kinds of the safety's baiting. You

419
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: don't take the bait, you know, I mean, right, so

420
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't have high hopes, you know, for

421
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: the Jets offense. Don't get me wrong, but it could

422
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: be better. In the second half, I think more and

423
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 1: Davis and Carter are useful. Yeah, um, a week too

424
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: late for this one. But Brian Edwards three and a touchdown. Yeah,

425
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: look good. I mean okay, I mean everyone picked him

426
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: up a week ago and then they sat him down

427
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: this week. But such as life people's Jones was the

428
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: other one did the same thing. Yeah. Albert Wilson the

429
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: two uh two guys against for Miami against h that awful. Yeah,

430
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: we talked about that on Friday. I guess Albert Wilson

431
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: Isaiah Ford f seven eight four, they were they were

432
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: both a valuable H. Harris four. Yeah, he's another one,

433
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: and he's just the dart throws. Yeah. Tyreek seven for

434
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: eighty three and two touchdown. Yeah, they're using them short

435
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: deep everywhere. Yea. Deante Johnson ends up with seven for

436
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: eighty three. But that big fumble, Yeah, you know that

437
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: doesn't matter for fantasy. But again he goes back to

438
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: our conversation to start the show. He has that play,

439
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: and then he comes back in overtime later in overtime

440
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: and has that just tremendous play where he catches a

441
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: short pass on the left side of the left hash

442
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: goes all the way across the defense. It gets out

443
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: of bounds, gets the first down and gets out of

444
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: bounce and put them in the position right. Just crazy stuff. Um,

445
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: Rashaw Bateman s eight in that game, Davante Adams kind

446
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: of Adam standards sevenths or for seventy eight is not

447
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: a great game for anybody else. You're taking seven or

448
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: seventy eight. He had a good game, but that's a

449
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: floor for Adam. Yeah, that is three of those a year,

450
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: and that's your bad ones. Get over at Davante Adams

451
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: will be fine. The number two tight end this week

452
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: in terms of yardage was albert O three for seventy

453
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: seven one I think he had, so don't rush out

454
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: to p that's a complete fluke. Again, when when you

455
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: have seventy seven receiving yards and sixty four of them

456
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: came on one play. Yeah, you gotta know. Um Michael

457
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 1: Pittman did it again. Five for seventy one. That's just

458
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: what now, that's what I'm in for that maybe scores

459
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: and gets right now. He's valuable. Dan Arnold, he's real too.

460
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: Five for sixty seven, had a twenty four yard catcher.

461
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: It's just consistent. Yeah, they traded for him and he

462
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: plays every snap and they threw him the football. Yeah. Um,

463
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: McCaffrey did have ten for sixty six in that game.

464
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: He looks really good. Yeah, that's what he does. DeVante

465
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: Smith for for sixty six and two touchdowns. I'm a

466
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: believer now, yeah he I mean, he has the eyeball

467
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: test every week and was getting better. Uh Theeland had

468
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: five for sixty five in that game, which Jefferson going

469
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: off as well. It looks like they the Chargers kind

470
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: of loaded up to stop the run to Alvin Cook

471
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: and they paid for it by giving up. But what

472
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: is he here? Fourteen ches for over two hundred yards

473
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: to the those two watches, I wonderful do the same

474
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: this week probably. I mean they didn't win the game,

475
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: but I would imagine no matter who the Steelers quarterback is,

476
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: will probably be get out of their comfort zone and

477
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: don't beg you to run the ball against him like

478
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: they usually do. We talked earlier about Ray Ray McLeod um.

479
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't love a game planning has Ray Ray getting

480
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: twelve targets, but he did get nine catches for sixty

481
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: three yards. Don't go picking him up. Don't pick him up.

482
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: He's not fantasy relevant, right if we're talking about fantasy here,

483
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: Yet cheer whatever with the game eight for sixty three.

484
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: I think that's really encouraging. He's finally healthy. Um. Their

485
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: offense was really bad, but he was good, you know.

486
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: I mean the Seattle thing too, is that's that team

487
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: does things backwards are different. We'll say the Packers just

488
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: took away the bombs. Don't let Matt Caffine Locket get

489
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: eight yards. So largely what the Steelers did against him,

490
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,239
Speaker 1: you know, ed Wilson struggled to throw the football. There

491
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: were some balls he just missed. I mean, he's got

492
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: a broken figure still. You know, I don't care what

493
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: his quote unquote wolverine type healing press whatever, nonsense. He's

494
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: four weeks into a broken finger. The finger is still fractured.

495
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,719
Speaker 1: He missed open throat. But Everett's one of these, you know,

496
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: tight ends. That's useful. Yeah. One last one I wanted

497
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: to make note of here is a J Dillon had

498
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: two catches for sixty two yards in that game. He's

499
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: not just Ah Adrian Peterson, Derrick Henry. They'll they'll dump

500
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: Baron Jones money in the off season. They might be

501
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: regretting that right now going this this guy might be

502
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: better better. He's a good player, Yeah, he really is. Yeah.

503
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: Um so if you got him stashed away in your bench,

504
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna be happy here in the next couple of

505
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: weeks and maybe moving forward, and even if Jones miraculously

506
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: heals Dylan's at least a flex, they might even take

507
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: their time and just say take your time. We got

508
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: this guy. We'll be fine. Dylan is a really good player. Yeah.

509
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: So anyway, that's gonna do it for the Fantasy Football

510
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: Focus and the show. Matt and I will be back
