1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show, presented by DraftKings. It's Meet your Man,

3
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: nam G Marcus Grant, masking and social distancing when and

4
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: we're appropriate. And we have made it through three Sundays

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: of the season, and it was sort of wild on Sunday.

6
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: I know I say that every week, but it feels

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: like that way every week. Injuries kind of crept in

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: yet again, we had some big performances out of nowhere.

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: We had some flops where maybe we didn't expect them.

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: So we'll get into plenty of that, will of course

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: hit some of your waiver wire potential ads for this week.

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 1: We'll look at some guys that maybe need to go

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: to the waiver wire themselves, and we will take a

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: look at the Monday night football game between the Ravens

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. But before we do all of that,

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: as we always do, we talked to our faithful producer,

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: Senior Edward L. Murphy. Esquire, Uh, Murphy, I guess I'll

18
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: have to ask you about is that the Yankees? Right?

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: I mean the playoffs start this week, so there's that, right. Yeah,

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: It's so weird that football didn't happen this Sunday. I

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: just didn't know that there was any going on. I

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: saw college Saturday. Um. But yeah, so, uh, rough week.

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: And I will say kudos to your guys. I'm not

24
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: just saying this because you being a friend and and

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: the host of this show, but you're four Niners, man,

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean talking about digging deep, but all your backups

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: in and just uh really how good of a coach

28
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: Shanahan is and to just to beat up I mean,

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: if the stars were in, I mean that that's score

30
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be seventy to nothing. I mean, it's it's insane. Um.

31
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: So really, I mean you like to see that a

32
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: team that has like fight and really willing their way

33
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: to a to a victory with like literally uh second string,

34
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: third string guys in there. So that was just a

35
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: pure beat down. And that was as bad as it gets. Really, yeah,

36
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: it was. It was a rough day for the Joint.

37
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: I really thought they were going to put up more

38
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: of a fight than that, um, you know, especially with

39
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: the Niners having so many injuries. So that was definitely surprising.

40
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: But you're right, Kyle Shanahan has done a pretty great job.

41
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Phenomena week sort of sort of just navigating all of

42
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: this stuff. I will tell you that I'm sure they

43
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: are thrilled to be leaving the New York metropolitan area.

44
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: Between uh, the injuries they had, what I got bus mishap,

45
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: they had all sorts of problems, kind of travel they

46
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: I mean, they're practicing like Green Brian West Virginia. I mean,

47
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: what a road trip that was, and they come out

48
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: with two victories. I mean, I can't say enough good

49
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: things about the port I understand. Yeah, so we'll see

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: what where he goes from here. But definitely a good,

51
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: good couple of weeks for the forty niners. All Right,

52
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: it is Monday, which means we are joined as always

53
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: by the one and only Kimmy Checks who I had

54
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: another pretty good week of prognosticating, so I'm sure we

55
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: will dive into some of that. Pakudos to you, Kimmy.

56
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: And how are you feeling on this one day? You

57
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: know I'm feeling good. Obviously. Yesterday's games it was fun.

58
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: I got puppies over the weekends. It was the very

59
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: first time the puppies got to watch Sunday football with

60
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: their mom. But I'm more excited about tonight's game. I

61
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: think this is probably going to be, you know, the

62
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: game of the season, at least for me. Obviously, I'm

63
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: a Chiefs fan, so I think that. But Lamar Jackson,

64
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes the m v P Showdown, the Chiefs are

65
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: on the road going into Baltimore. I think it's gonna

66
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: be a high schoo or in game, and I feel

67
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: like a lot of fantasy managers kind of have this

68
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: week's matchups hanging on by threads because they need guys

69
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: tonight before. So I'm excited to see what happens. I know,

70
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: I've got in plenty of leagues. I've got you know,

71
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: guys going on both sides. I you know, I'm in

72
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: that weird situation where I sort of need Patrick Mahomes

73
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: to score a certain number of points to win one league,

74
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: but not too many so I don't lose in another league. Uh.

75
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: You know, It's like I'm trying to thread the needle

76
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: here with a lot of situations. So tonight it's gonna

77
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: be a whole lot of fun. I'm definitely looking forward

78
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: to what we will talk about that certainly later on

79
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: in the show. But since we're talking quarterbacks, let's get

80
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: started with some of our fantasy headlines from Week three.

81
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: The biggest one Russ and Josh are just lighting it up.

82
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had a huge Sunday for the Seahawks, beating

83
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys through five touchdown passes. Just continues to

84
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: light things up, having another great season, and right now

85
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: it looks like he's pushing to be the QB one

86
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: fifteen passing yards to go along with those five touchdowns.

87
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: Then on the other side, yeah, Josh Allen doing it again.

88
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: He had five sol touchdowns, four of them passing three

89
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven passing yards. So the question is now

90
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: that we are through three Sundays, who is your fantasy

91
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: m v P Okay. Let me preface it by this

92
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: because I had someone come at me on Twitter yesterday

93
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: because preseason, preseason, before we watched any regular season games,

94
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: I said that I feel like Kyler Murray is going

95
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: to be in the US means to be an m

96
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: v P. Kyler Murray has still been fantastic and fantasy football,

97
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: So right that was that was a prediction preseason. Someone

98
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: tweeted at me last night and said, hey, how do

99
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: you feel about Russell Wilson since you hate him and

100
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: don't think he deserves to be MVP, And I was like,

101
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: when did I ever say I hated Russell Wilson. So

102
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: let me preface it by this, by saying this, Russell

103
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Wilson is fantastic. Russell Wilson could easily be the m

104
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: v P, and I would be just as happy. Okay,

105
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: that's for you, Mark who tweeted at me, Okay, come

106
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: at me, I come at you. However, I want to

107
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: talk about h Allen five total touchdowns, as you said,

108
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: four of them passing, one of them rushing three hundred

109
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: and eleven yards. Now, before the preseason had started, and

110
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: before the season had started, there was some concern over

111
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: his deep long balls in that accuracy. However, he's completed

112
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: seventy one percent of his overall pass attempts, especially on

113
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: deep throws, as he's eight of thirteen on passes that

114
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: traveled at least twenty yards down the field and thirty

115
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: of forty five on throws of ten plus yards after

116
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: he completed just forty five percent of those in twenty nineteen.

117
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: So obviously his deep ball has improved. On top of

118
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: his deep ball improving, yesterday we got to see they

119
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: have QB design runs inside of the red zone. So

120
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: that goes to show not only does he have the

121
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: ability as a thrower and as a passer, but he

122
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: also has the ability as a runner, which is definitely

123
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: part of the Bill's game plan and in making sure

124
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: that they're in scoring position. So just because of all

125
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: of that, I think Josh Allen is in the running

126
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: to become a Fantasy m v P. If you have

127
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: him on your squad, I'm sure you were so incredible happy.

128
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: I know, make Fiance had him as a starting quarterback

129
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: in the sixteen team league and Josh Allen and Alvin Camara,

130
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: he got pretty lucky. Those guys single handedly won his

131
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: matchup this week. So Josh Allen, I am all on

132
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: this Bill's mafia train. I am right in with you.

133
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to crash through a table and be a

134
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: Bill Bobbia person and just go wild because he is

135
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: showing out. Yeah, no doubt. I mean, look here, the

136
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: running ability. We knew that was sort of the attraction

137
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen when it came to fantasy because we

138
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: knew he was going to get you those rushing scores.

139
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: He was going to get you those yards. As you

140
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: mentioned the passing is sort of what we weren't sure about,

141
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: but it looks like he's really cleaned that up this year.

142
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: It definitely helps that they added step on bigs to

143
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: this offense. They are going out and putting the ball

144
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: in Josh Allen's hands, and he's looked fantastic through the

145
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: first three weeks, and so a lot of us who

146
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: had doubts are now starting to rethink that, I don't

147
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: think there's anything wrong with that. I'm still gonna lean

148
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: toward Russ right now. They have finally, as as we've

149
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: been saying for weeks, they have let Russ cook. The

150
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: Seahawks have put the game land in the hands of

151
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: their quarterback and it has worked fabulously through the first

152
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: three weeks of the season. Now, the one thing to

153
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: keep in mind, the thing that may work in Russ's favor,

154
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: is that that Seahawks defense doesn't look great right now.

155
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: They are giving up a ton of yards through the

156
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: air each and every week. They have been just lit

157
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: up by opposing passing games. It happened again on Sunday

158
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: with Dak Prescott going over four hundred passing yards in

159
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: the game. So because of that, the Seahawks are in

160
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: a situation where they may have to let Russ continue

161
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: to throw the football in order to score points in

162
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: order to stay in games, because I don't think their

163
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: defense is going to get a ton of stops. I

164
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: know they did against the Patriots to win that game,

165
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: but before that, even then, Cam Newton sort of ripped

166
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: them apart. So I think Josh Josh Allen is in

167
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: the mix. By the way, Kyler Murray is still in

168
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: the mix. I mean we're through three weeks and he

169
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: is the QB four. He is certainly not out of

170
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: the conversation by any stretch of the imagination. So you know,

171
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: you are still sort of odd point with what you

172
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: said in the pre season. But right now, with what

173
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: we've seen with Russell Wilson sort of doing everything in

174
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: the Seahawks offense, I'm gonna say that he is my

175
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: m v P. Of course, my opinion is subject to

176
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: change as we get through the season, because that's what

177
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: we do here, right We take the information in front

178
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: of us. They take the information in front of us,

179
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: and we make our opinions based on that, and so

180
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: when the information changes, then we have free reign to

181
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: change our opinions as well. So, speaking of opinions, I

182
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: have always been of the opinion of a thing called

183
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: Bellatrix when you talk about the Patriots backfield and the

184
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: fact that for years we could never really pinpoint who

185
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots running back of choice would be. Over the

186
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: last couple of years, things seem to have sort of

187
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: ironed themselves out. We could tell when it was gonna

188
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: be a James White game or a Sony Michelle game.

189
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: We could even sort of pinpoint maybe the occasional Rex

190
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: Birkhead game. But what we've seen in the first three

191
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, it's starting to make me wonder

192
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: is this changing back again? I mean, Rex Burkhead had

193
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: a huge game on Sunday Scrimmage, jars seven catches, three

194
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: total touchdowns, Sony Shell went over a hundred and seventeen yards.

195
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: But J. J. Taylor is getting into the mix. James White,

196
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: we know, has been away from the team because of

197
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: personal reasons for the last couple of weeks, So at

198
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: some point he's going to come back in Who knows

199
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: what happens with this whole rotation. So I have to ask,

200
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: after three weeks, are Belatricks back and how do we

201
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: handle this. I mean, it's Bill Belichick, so absolutely this

202
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: is Bellatrix. I like that you need to you need

203
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: to like copyright that. That's really good. I feel like

204
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: would like he would like being called out as well,

205
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: and he'd be like, yes, I've tricked up my sleeve,

206
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: but he would stay it with this much more. He

207
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: also has no sleeves, so that I know I need.

208
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: I saw the commercial yesterday. It's like something Subway insurance whatever,

209
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: whatever the commercials are. We he cuts off the guy's

210
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: sleeves and I'm like, maybe maybe next week on the pod,

211
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: that's my Bellatrick's Uh, that's my Belatrick's outfit. If these

212
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: this two headed backfield continues to be an issue. Now,

213
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: I know we mentioned Rex Burkhead and Sony Michelle, but

214
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: I want to go back to Rex Burkhead because he

215
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: recorded only eight fantasy points in the first two weeks

216
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: of the season, but then with the absence of James Why,

217
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: he had his first role, showing ninety eight scrimmage yards,

218
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: seven receptions, and three touchdowns, getting him almost twenty eight

219
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: fantasy points. So what do we learn from this? This

220
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: is textbook Bill Belichick messing with everyone's heads right, not

221
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: only messing with defensive heads and other opposing teams, but

222
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: also messing with fantasy managers, because what are we supposed

223
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: to do. What we're learning from this wreck Birkhead situation

224
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: is that he could be a waiver wire contender, because

225
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: though some could say this is just a one time thing,

226
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: most of us are also smart enough to understand that

227
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: we can't just dismiss it because this is also Bill Belichick.

228
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: It's a Bill Belichick lead team, and he gave this

229
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: guy an opportunity because he understands that he could perform.

230
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: So if you want to pick up Birkhead, you should

231
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: do it, but just understand that he's a flex or

232
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: at best case scenario, he's a low cost daily fantasy flyer.

233
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: And we'll see more of this upcoming Sunday on what

234
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: they can do when they play the Raiders. But again,

235
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: this is just Bill Belichick being Bill Belichick, especially once

236
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: we get James White back into the mixt. I know

237
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: we always talk about two headed monster backfields. This could

238
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: be a triple head a monster backfield with all three

239
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: of these guys getting opportunities. So it's kind of a

240
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: head scratcher it's going to continue to be a head scratcher.

241
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: I feel like that's just how Bill Bill Belichick coaches,

242
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: and he really just kind of wants everyone to figure

243
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: it out, uh and see what happens. But it's kind

244
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: of it's kind of crazy, but it's also not because

245
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: it's the Patriots. So I kind of want to buy in,

246
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna buy in with a little bit of

247
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: apprehension and see what we do. Uh and Week four,

248
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the smart way to go about it.

249
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Rex Burkhead has at least a safer flour

250
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: because he will catch the football. And Cam has shown

251
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: that he's not afraid to throw the ball to his

252
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: running backs. I mean he did in Carolina with Christian McCaffrey.

253
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: He's doing it so far in New England with Rex Burkhead.

254
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: I will throw one more head scratcher into the mix.

255
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: Adian Harris is eligible to come off of injured reserve,

256
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: so we'll see how he slots in. I can't imagine

257
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: they are going to go with four running backs. I mean, look,

258
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: anything is possible. It just seems uh, sort of weird

259
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: to think that they're going to go with four running backs.

260
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: That they're all going to see time J J. Taylor,

261
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: who played well maybe sort of the odd man out.

262
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: When you have all those other guys there, it is

263
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: going to be a mess. But I've sorted with you, Kimmy.

264
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: I think at least some of these guys, whether it

265
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: is Rex Birkhead, where it's Damien Harris, some of these

266
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: guys need to be on fantasy rosters to be play them.

267
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: But if I have a chance to always drop the

268
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: hashtag Rex and the flex, then I'm gonna feel good

269
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: about that. I'm just gonna go on and do that shamelessly.

270
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: And you've got you've got all the good hashtags. Hashtag

271
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: now flex. What you're gonna make me? Come on? All

272
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: I want to do is zoom zoom, zoom zoom. Yeah, exactly.

273
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: So wide receivers we are always I would say we're

274
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: in need of them because the position is very deep.

275
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: But we were sort of waiting for some of these

276
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: rookies to really step up in the first few weeks,

277
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: and on Sunday a lot of the rookie wide receivers

278
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: finally logged onto the chat. Justin Jefferson. The huge Day

279
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: seven catches a hundred and seventy five yards in a touchdown.

280
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: Tee Higgins five catches for forty yards. He had two touchdowns. Brendon,

281
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: you gave you a hundred and one total scrimmag yards.

282
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: He also scored on a nineteen yard run. They got

283
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: him the ball three different times as a runner, showing

284
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: that they want to do different things with him. So

285
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: I will sort of ask which players most likely to

286
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: keep it going. I'm going to sort of pump my

287
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: own self here and say before the season, I thought

288
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson was the guy most likely as a rookie

289
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: to have the best fantasy season. I didn't say that

290
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: he necessarily had the highest ceiling. I thought maybe that

291
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: belonged to, you know, a Ceedee Lamb or maybe even

292
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: a Jerry Judy, and Lamb has certainly shown big things

293
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: this year. But I thought that just because of the

294
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: opportunity that Justin Jefferson was going to step in here

295
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: and really get some up, get some targets. Stuff on

296
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: Diggs was gone to Buffalo. They can't just live on

297
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: Adam Feeland alone. Although through the first two weeks that's

298
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: sort of what it looked like. But on Sunday, Jefferson

299
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: stepped up and showed that he really is set to

300
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: become the number two wide receiver in this offense, maybe

301
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: pushing B. C. Johnson back to the background a little bit.

302
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: The Vikings came out and sort of surprised I think

303
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: the Titans a little bit in terms of how effectively

304
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: they threw the football. They didn't win the game, but

305
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: they certainly made some big plays through the air. So

306
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: now I'm starting to feel a little bit better about

307
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: my Justin Jefferson opportunities. I'm starting to feel better about

308
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: the shares I have of him across fantasy rosters. I

309
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: hadn't quite dropped him. I was getting nervous, I was

310
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: getting close. So this has been a nice shot in

311
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: the arm for me and for a lot of folks

312
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: who sort of banked on him this season. So I'm

313
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna say that he's got a chance to really keep

314
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: this going. I mean, for you, Kimmy, which of these

315
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: rookies from yesterday do you think Ken kim sort of

316
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: sustained this Well, you've kind of already made the case

317
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: for Justin Jefferson. If I had to pick between the three,

318
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: is my number one choice. I agree, I think it's

319
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: going to be Justin Jefferson, because like you said, they

320
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: can't just rely on Adam Feeling all the time in

321
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: that receiving course. And now Jefferson has stepped up, and

322
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: let's go see them shine. But another name that I'm

323
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: really excited about in my second choice out of those three,

324
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about te Higgins. I've kind of been on

325
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: the Bengals train this entire season. I understand they still

326
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: have yet to win a football game. I think it

327
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: is coming, but let's talk about t Higgins. He had

328
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and the things that I really want to

329
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: focus on here is how much Joe Burrow trusted him

330
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: near the goal line. That really makes Tee Higgins look

331
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: more and more enticing for fantasy. He scored from the

332
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: one yard line and four yards out, scoring both the

333
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: Burrows touchdowns in the game. But the only problem that

334
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,479
Speaker 1: I do have here, which is kind of the only apprehension,

335
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: is that Tyler Boyd salt thirteen targets and a huge

336
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: game of his own and a J Green. He's not

337
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: doing so hot, but he's still there. He's not just

338
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: going to come away, So I know, you know, in Minnesota,

339
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: we talked about Justin Jefferson and Adam Feeling. That's a

340
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: very clear wide receiver one wide receiver two role for

341
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: the Bengals. It's kind of it's three different guys, and

342
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: I think that's where it's going to be a little

343
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: bit more confusing to figure it out. But again, you

344
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: have to look and see who did Joe Burrow trust

345
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: to make a score. He trusted Tee Higgins. It's two

346
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: young guys. They understand that rapport they have one with

347
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: one another. So I'm kind of excited about him and

348
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: really think that, you know, if A J. Green continues

349
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: to fizzle out, Tee Higgins may just be that guy.

350
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: I will say to your point, though, I think emergence

351
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: of te Higgins sort of hastens the fantasy demise of A. J.

352
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: Green And you sort of look at how they're using Green. Yes,

353
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: they are targeting him quite a bit, but he's not

354
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: really a downfield threat anymore. I mean, Tyler Boyd is

355
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: I think by far the wide receiver one on this team.

356
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: I think he's taken that over, but I think T.

357
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: Higgins has a legitimate shot to sort of slide in

358
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: and start taking away some more of those A J.

359
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: Green targets. So I do think you're onto something here

360
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: with how they're using him, the fact that, as you mentioned,

361
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow seems to trust him near the end zone,

362
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: and I think anybody who was sort of on the

363
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: fence about what to do about a j Green, I

364
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: think what we saw yesterday might push you towards the

365
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: side of maybe it's time for him to h to

366
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: head to the waiver wire. Although we will get to

367
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: that a little bit later on in the show. That's

368
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: called a tease to hopefully to hopefully keep you guys

369
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: hanging on with us. But the rookie wide receivers have

370
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: definitely stepped up and that is exciting to see and

371
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: hopefully we see more of it in the weeks to come.

372
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,480

Speaker 1: is Monday, which means it's time for another edition of

380
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: Checks Marks the Spot where Kimmy has three players she

381
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: highlights based on what they did on Sunday, and this

382
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: week we're looking at guys who stock rose the most

383
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: based on what they did in their week three games.

384
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: The first one up on the list, Mike Davis stepped

385
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: in and he's not Christian McCaffrey, but he took that

386
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: workload that McCaffrey had and looked like he did a

387
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: pretty good job with it. He did, and he's not

388
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, but he did have a Christian McCaffrey like

389
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: performance thirteen rushing attempts for forty six yards along with

390
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: eight receptions for forty five yards and a touchdown in

391
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: the absence of CMC who's out with an injury for

392
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: the next few weeks now. In PPR leagues, davis Is

393
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: performance did kind of rival Christian McCaffrey like game, and

394
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: it shows that the backup ain't so bad. I know,

395
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: we had a lot of questions on Sunday, Do I

396
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: start mc davis? Do we do I not? I said no,

397
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: and obviously I'm eating my own words, which is why

398
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: I'm wiping it up so much. Now, if he is

399
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: for some reason available in your league on the waivers,

400
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: you should go hit him up and try to grab him,

401
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: because now the parents there's clearly have a running back

402
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: to contender. Even when CMC does come back. Obviously, the

403
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: Panthers always are going to have a run heavy game

404
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: because of Christian McCaffrey. However, that means defenses are zoned

405
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: in on Christian McCaffrey. The performance that we saw yesterday

406
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: from Mike Davis shows the two of them can kind

407
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: of be a dual headed monster in that backfield, and

408
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: as long as Teddy Bridgewater can continue to tuck and

409
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: give them the ball, there should be plenty of opportunity

410
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: for them to score some amazing fantasy points. So Mike Davis,

411
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for ever doubting you. Let's move forward. Anybody

412
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: who's got Mike Davis, you've got to feel at least

413
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: as that you can weather the storm. If you lost

414
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey and you got Mike Davis, you should feel

415
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: like you can sort of weather the storm at least

416
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: for the next few weeks until see him C gets

417
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: back in your lineup. On the other side, of that game,

418
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen bawled out thirteen catches a hundred and thirty

419
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: two yards and maybe, look, I know they haven't figured

420
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: out what the quarterback situation is going to be once

421
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is healthy, but Jimmy, through a couple of weeks,

422
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: it seems like Justin Herbert has done Keenan Allen some good.

423
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, obviously, it's unfortunate what has

424
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: happened with Tyrod Taylor, and I hope he has a

425
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: speedy recovery and if he goes back into that starting

426
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: quarterback position, I'm happy for him. But Justin Herbert has

427
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: truly found his guy, and that guy is very clearly

428
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: Kate and Allen. Nineteen targets, thirteen receptions, a hundred and

429
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: thirty two yards, and a touchdown that I got you

430
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: just over thirty fantasy points. So you should be patting

431
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: yourself on your back if you had him in your lineup. Now,

432
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: this is where becoming a veteran comes in handy, because

433
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: Alan was able to create space on those crazy routes

434
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: that he consistently runs, allowing him to stay open and

435
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: Herbert to get him the ball. Now, mind you the trailer.

436
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: The Chargers were trailing for most of that game, which

437
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: also may account for some of Alan's targets. But regardless,

438
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: even with the rookie at quarterback, Alan is a fantasy

439
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: mustart and I think these are good things if you

440
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: have him on your squad. Even with Justin Herbert, he

441
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: found that comfortability in that receiver, and uh, I'm impressed.

442
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm really impressed, and I'm impressed in Justin Herbert too.

443
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm impressing Keenan Allen. But that was kind of expected.

444
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 1: But to be a rookie and kind of come and

445
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: take over under those circumstances of completely being unexpected. You know,

446
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: I was watching interviews and people had said, you know,

447
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: Justin her Rob, dude, how did you feel? Did you

448
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: think it was a joke? And he was so sweet

449
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: and he said no. You know, when coach told me

450
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: I was going in just a second before a kickoff,

451
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: I was ready. He goes, I trained like I want

452
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: to be a starting quarterback. I was ready to go

453
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: in there. So we've seen them ball out and I'm

454
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: really impressed with this Charger's offense. Yeah, I do think

455
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: the in Week one, getting told literally seconds before you're

456
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: supposed to take the field. Probably helps like there's no

457
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: there's no time to think about it and get nervous,

458
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: like you literally just got kicked into the pool, and

459
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: so it's tiding to sink or swe him. And so

460
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 1: far Herbert has done a very admirable job. And it's

461
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: two starts with the charges. Plus you gotta love to see,

462
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: at least for me, a couple of Pack twelve guys

463
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: getting together. You've got Oregon going to Cow. It's awesome.

464
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of Cow, former Cow quarterback Jared Goff had a

465
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: sort of down Week one, but he seems to have

466
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: sort of bounced back the last couple of weeks. I

467
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: know the Rams lost a tough one against the Buffalo Bills,

468
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: but Jared Goff seems like he's starting to come around

469
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: a little bit, especially for fantasy folks. Now. I know

470
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: we chatted Josh Allen earlier in that game, and obviously

471
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was great, but so is Jared Goff. And

472
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't think people may have realized that he was

473
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: twenty three for thirty two for completed passes for three

474
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: d and twenty yard twenty one passing yards and two touchdowns.

475
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: Now Although the Rams have become a bit more run

476
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 1: heavy this season, Golf has still managed to put up

477
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: six total touchdowns and only two turnovers through three games

478
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: in the season. Those are all impressive numbers for a quarterback,

479
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: especially for a fantasy quarterback. Now he will remain on

480
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: this streaming radar for next week game against the Giants. However,

481
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: again they're playing against the Giants. I'm so sorry, Eddie, um,

482
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: I know that's your team. The Giants are just absolutely abysmal.

483
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: If you have an option to stream Jared Goff ahead

484
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: of that game, I think you should absolutely get him

485
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: on your roster. He showed out against the Bills. That

486
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: was an incredibly tough matchup. Obviously, it's gonna be a

487
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: high scoring game. Those offenses are going head to head

488
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: trying to get into the red zone. Um So I

489
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: think they're kind of gonna have a have a day

490
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: and just completely ball out against the Giants because it's

491
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: the Giants, you know. I will give credit to Adam

492
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: Rank on this one too, because he was on Jared

493
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: Goff very early. In fact, late in the preseason, he

494
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: started to jump on the Jared Goff train and was

495
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: sort of telling people, look there's a there's the potential

496
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: for him to sort of rebound to where he was

497
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: a couple of seasons ago, when you Ram's offense just

498
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: dominated the NFL. I don't think the offenses back to

499
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: that level, but certainly they're giving golf more chances to

500
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: throw the football. He's spreading it around the Robert Woods, Cooper,

501
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: cut Tyler, Higbee, you name it. So Jared Goff looks

502
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: like he maybe sort of finding some things that he

503
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 1: had lost a year or so ago. So it's very

504
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: interesting to watch. So we'll keep an eye on that

505
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: as well, and you to keep an eye on this

506
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: poll as well. Of those three guys, which of them

507
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: do you think had their fantasy stocked rise the most.

508
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: Kimmy checks has that poll on her Twitter page, so

509
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: you can go find it and vote at Kimmy checks In.

510
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: If there's somebody else, can always leave it in the comments.

511
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: It is Monday, so that means, of course we are

512
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: looking at some of the waiver wire potential ads for

513
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: the week. Last week we were very heavy on running

514
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: backs because we had so many running backs suffer injuries

515
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: uh and have to sit down for a few weeks.

516
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: This week, it seemed like a lot of wide receivers

517
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: were missing in action. I mean, we have games without

518
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, without Michael Thomas, without Julio Jones, so a

519
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: lot of people had their wide receiver one spot that

520
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: was a little bit vacant this week. So that means

521
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: we're probably looking at some wide receivers off the waiver

522
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: wire and Kimmy we talked about some of the rookies

523
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: that stepped up and played big. I mean we got

524
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: the three and Justin Jefferson, T Higgins and Brandon I

525
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: who are going to be out there. Darrell Henderson is

526
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: another name you should remember because he did play very

527
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: well this week. Chances are though I know in a

528
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: lot of leagues he's already been claimed, but hey, take

529
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: a look. There's a chance and maybe he is available

530
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: in your fantasy league this week, and it's certainly worth

531
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: you look and be ad if he's out there because

532
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: he got a lot of run and he played very

533
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: well against a very good Buffalo Bills defense. Jimmy Graham

534
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: is back. We gotta stop the jokes. He had two

535
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns on Sunday, yes three for the season. They're looking

536
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: for him in the Bears offense, and so it was

537
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: fun to sort of laugh about the Bears having eleven

538
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: different tight ends, but they found when they seemed the like.

539
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: So it's time to maybe get on board with you, Jimmy,

540
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: Graham train. Alan Lazard is a guy out there who

541
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: had a big game on Sunday night. Especially if you

542
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: started MPs, you were very aware of Ellen Lazard having

543
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: a big game on Sunday night. Sorry, I might have

544
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: started in VS in some places. I'm just a little

545
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: bit better. Cedric Wilson also stepped up and played well

546
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys, with a couple of long catches

547
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: and some touchdowns as well. But of all those guys

548
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: on this list, Kimmy, which one is your top waiver

549
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: priority for this week? You know, I think the number

550
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: one priority is a guy that we chatted about earlier.

551
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: That's going to be Justin Jefferson. Right, that's the obvious

552
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: one that should be a number one priority. But another

553
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: one that kind of is really interesting to me, let's

554
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: talk about Cedric Wilson. Right. There was a big question,

555
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: and I know you and I had talked like is

556
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: this for real? Is this really a Cowboys wide receiver

557
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: who is going to be a contender to get touches

558
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: and targets and carries and points. He absolutely should be.

559
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: He caught five and seven targets for a hundred and

560
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: seven yards and two touchdowns. Now previous to Sunday he

561
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: had five catches for forty six yards and all of

562
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: his career. We were also wrapped up in the Amari Cooper,

563
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup and Ceedee Lamb hide that Wilson came out

564
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: and showed us that hey, I'm here too, and you

565
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: should watch in a very Bill Bella tricks way. Since

566
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier, Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys

567
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: now have us all scratching our heads on what they're receiving.

568
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: Core rotation will be. So if you do have depth

569
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position but want even more security,

570
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: especially as Bye weeks to coach, you could go ahead

571
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: and grab Wilson on Dyer. But that was a really

572
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: interesting one for me. I know that you know our

573
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: fantasy analyst and friend, Michael f. Florio, he's all on

574
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: the CD Lamb train, and I'm sure he was like,

575
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: holy cow, maybe I should switch over to Cedric Wilson.

576
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: That was quite a fun Sunday performance. Yeah, I would

577
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: say that at some point I was I was really

578
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: about to pour one out for Michael Gallup because I

579
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: have been on the Michael Gallup train all off season long,

580
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: and to watch Cedric Wilson do that, especially in the

581
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: first half, I'm like, well, it really might be over

582
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: from Michael back he did. Yeah, he came back here

583
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: at a big game. So now I I feel I

584
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: feel slightly better. But it does it does pose an

585
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: interesting question how much opportunity does Wilson get going forward,

586
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: especially when we know that the Lamb is still gonna

587
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: get his, Cooper is going to get his. It is

588
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: going to make things a little bit cloudy there in Dallas.

589
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: So I'm very concerned about that one. I will say. Look,

590
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: I talked about Jimmy Graham. I do think Graham though,

591
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: is one that we have to pay attention to and

592
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: in a year word like every year, we're always looking

593
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: forward tight ends, We're always trying to find somebody to

594
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: to play in that spot. Jimmy Graham looks like he

595
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: is back. You see that They're six catches, sixty yards,

596
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and nothing changed when Nick Foles got in

597
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: the game. In fact, it might have even gotten better

598
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: for him. He got seven targets from Folds when he

599
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: took over from Mitch Robinski. Now, I know the Bears

600
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: haven't officially said who their quarterback is going to be

601
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: going forward, but I can't imagine you go and you

602
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: yank Mitch Robinski in the middle of the game, and

603
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna turn around and hand the starting job back

604
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: to him on Sunday. So maybe this is looking up

605
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: for Graham. Maybe this is going to look up, you know,

606
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: also for guys like Alan Robinson and Anthony Miller. We

607
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: will see. But if you are in need of a

608
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: tight end, if you are streaming the position, Jimmy Graham

609
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: is out there in a lot of leagues, mostly because

610
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: a lot of us weren't gonna fall for the banana

611
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: and the tailpipe again. But maybe maybe this is real

612
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: this time, Maybe this is something we can buy into.

613
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: Is there anybody on this list or not on this list?

614
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: I should say that should be on this list this week.

615
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: So there's just one more name that I want to add,

616
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: and this is you know, there's a little apprehension to this,

617
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: but it's Carlos Hide. So yesterday in the Seahawks game,

618
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: Chris Carson went down with a knee injury. He left

619
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: the game early. Reports just came out this morning that

620
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: it seems to be minor, which is good. However, if

621
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: Chris Carson for some reason does not want to play,

622
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: because they do have a favorable and semi easy matchup

623
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins, Carlos Hide maybe someone that if

624
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: you're absolutely desperate, you can go and you can put

625
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: into your lineup if you need to stream someone. So

626
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: again that's just one little name, one small caveat. Obviously,

627
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: we're we're hopeful that the Chris Carson injury remains minor,

628
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: but it's a favorable matchup against the Dolphins. So if

629
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide was able to get into the game, I

630
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: could see him having an opportunity to score some fantasy points.

631
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Dolphins and the Seahawks, which sort of

632
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: reminds me if you are a person who is streaming quarterbacks,

633
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: if you are, you know, maybe needing each quarterbacks, somebody's

634
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: letting you down. I'm gonna I'm just gonna throw this

635
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: out there and I will us about all knowledge of

636
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: saying this if he goes sideways. But Ryan Fitzpatrick is

637
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: a streamer against the Seahawks doesn't seem totally crazy. He

638
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: went out and played pretty well on Thursday night against

639
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. We have seen the Seahawks defense just give

640
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: up yards and chunks through the air to every quarterback

641
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: they have played so far this year. We know that

642
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: fitz he is good to go out and throw some

643
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: yellow balls. He will get it down the field, whether

644
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: it's the Davante Parker or Preston Williams or my Sicky.

645
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: So if you are sort of in a bad way,

646
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: especially if you were any two quarterback league or a

647
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: super flex league, streaming Ryan Fitzpatrick this week might not

648
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: be the worst idea. But again this goes sideways. I

649
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: will tell everybody to burn the tape and I will

650
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: just avolw knowledge. Can we can we can we talk

651
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: about burning the tape in it going sideways where all

652
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: of us were hyping up Gardner Shoe and starting it's

653
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: going and then I started Gardner Minshew over Deshaun Watson

654
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: in the league, and I am not happy. I think

655
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: I may have I think I may have gotten I

656
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: may have gotten some big performances in other places. So

657
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: I think I may survive that one, but yeah, that burned.

658
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: That burned quite a bit. I'm not gonna than the mustache. Yeah.

659
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: And so for anybody licensely who's upset about us, we're

660
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: recommending gardnerment show that it didn't work out for them.

661
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: Understand that a lot of us are living that life too. Uh.

662
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: You know, we are not just saying, you know, do

663
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: as we say that as we do, we do it too.

664
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: And so it came back to fight a lot of

665
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: us in fantasy as well. I mean, it is the

666
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: law of displacement, right. If you are adding something, you

667
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: gotta take something away. It's sort of like why you

668
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: don't feel the bathtub all the way up before you

669
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: get in it, because otherwise you're gonna have water spilling

670
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: everywhere on the floor. So we spent the last segment

671
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: talking about some waiver wire ads potentially, but if you're

672
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: going to add, chances are you're going to have to drop.

673
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: So it's time to look at some players who really

674
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: have not filled the bill through the first three weeks

675
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: of the season, and we will ask whether we should

676
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: drop them. Maybe we should exercise some patient to maybe

677
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: find somewhere else to cut from our roster. The first one, Kimmy,

678
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: is the Andre A. Swift, And we talked about the

679
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: rookie running backs coming into this season, and so far,

680
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: you've seen good things from Jonathan Taylor, We've seen good

681
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: things from Clyde Edwards Hilaire. DeAndre Swift was the other

682
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: guy at the top of this running back draft class.

683
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: So far we have seen very little from him. In fact,

684
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday barely got on the field head about five

685
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: snaps for the Detroit Lions. Adrian Peterson was getting all

686
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: of the work. To see the numbers. There one catch

687
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: for nineteen yards for DeAndre Swift. That was it. So

688
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: is it time to let him go? Or can we

689
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: still extricize some patients. I'm saying bye to DeAndre Swift.

690
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: There was a lot of hype, as you said, but

691
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: he just hasn't been performing. Obviously, he is kind of

692
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: used in the passing game, but he's clearly not the

693
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: preferred goal line back, which is what you want in

694
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: terms of fantasy football, especially at the running back position.

695
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: So I feel like if I do have him on

696
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: my squad, I'm putting him on the waivers to see

697
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: what I can do or what kind of trade I

698
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: can get them for, but really disappointing. It's sad, but

699
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: I do have shares of Adrian Peterson, and uh so

700
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm happy about that. Who would have thought that in

701
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty that Adrian Peterson would still be

702
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: out there fantasy relevant. But he's getting opportunities in Matt

703
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: Patricia's offense, and he is playing, he's playing relatively well,

704
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: and he has made DeAndre Swifts very much an afterthought,

705
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: and it's getting a lot harder to justify, at least

706
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: in seasonal leagues, keeping him on your roster. Maybe in

707
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: dynasty you can still put him on the bench and

708
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: hope for good things in the future, but in seasonal,

709
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: especially if you're off to a slow start, it's just

710
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: getting harder and harder to hold onto him. We talked

711
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: about the Bengals in their passing game and what Higgins

712
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: did yesterday. A J. Green. A lot of people spent

713
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,719
Speaker 1: sort of a middle round pick on him hoping that

714
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 1: he would be the AJ Green of old. Instead, right

715
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: now he just looks like old a J. Green, And

716
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: you have to wonder, Kimmy, is this time for us

717
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: to say goodbye to a guy who was a longtime

718
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: fantasy favorite. You know, previous to talking about the Bengals

719
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: with you earlier this morning, I said, I think I'm

720
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna hold on for a J. Green for another week

721
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: or two. But you really did kind of make the

722
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: case through te Higgins taking it in and usurped a J.

723
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: Green and really taking that wide receiver to position. Again.

724
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: Te Higgins, he showed up. He had a huge game.

725
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: He got two touchdowns, the only two touchdowns thrown by

726
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. And that Sunday matchup a J. Green, He's

727
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: really not seeing the field a lot. He's not getting targets,

728
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: he's not getting a share of the ball. So because

729
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: of that you kind of convinced me earlier I think

730
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: it's time to fade him away and say goodbye to

731
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: a J. Green and instead by into T Higgins eight

732
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: catches eighty yards for the season. He had five for

733
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: thirty six on Sunday, And just watching this this highlight

734
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: reel here, and you just see so many short routes,

735
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: so many underneath routes that they are not using a J.

736
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: Green to stretch the field. And so for that, even

737
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: with a large target share, he's got to make a

738
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: lot of catches and maybe hopefully somehow break one gets

739
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: some yards after the catch. Right now, this passenging just

740
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: does not seem set up for a J. Green to

741
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: have some big weeks. That's not to say he won't

742
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: have one at some point during the season, it just

743
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: seems like they may be a lot more rare than

744
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 1: we're used to seeing as this offense sort of trends

745
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: now towards Tyler Boyd and potentially T Higgins. So with

746
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: so much depth at wide receiver, I think it's okay

747
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: to put a J. Green out there on the waiver

748
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: wire and try to find some help from somewhere else

749
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: at tight end. I think we all knew that Austin

750
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: Hooper was going to see a decline going from Atlanta

751
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: to Cleveland because there were so many more targets to

752
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: spread the ball around to there. But you figured that

753
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: maybe without David and Joeku in the short term that

754
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,479
Speaker 1: would help Austin Hooper. But again didn't get you much.

755
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: On Sunday in the game for the Browns against the

756
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: Washington football team, uh, we we talked about some tight end,

757
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: potentially Jimmy Graham, So I feel like that makes it

758
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: sort of easier to say goodbye to Austin Hooper. I

759
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: was just gonna say, obviously, you mentioned Jimmy Graham earlier.

760
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: Last year, Dalton Schultz showed up for the Cowboys. There

761
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: are other streaming tight end options, and Austin Hooper sadly

762
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: is not one of them. He caught three or four

763
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: targets for twenty five yards, and though he's playing of

764
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: the snaps, he doesn't have a large role in the

765
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: Browns game because they're running the all almost sixty of

766
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: the time. So just because he's on the football field,

767
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: that does not mean he's getting any type of opportunity. Again,

768
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: though Kevin Stefanski does like to have a two tight

769
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: end run offense, he's not utilizing them whatsoever. The Browns

770
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: have kind of been a disaster again Baker Mayfield, who

771
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: really needs to focus on getting the ball to Jarvis

772
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 1: Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. So I feel like all

773
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: of his focus is there and not on Austin Hooper.

774
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: So it's time to it's time to fathom there are

775
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: other tight ends that have better flashes of opportunity and

776
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: they are actually playing the snaps and they're actually getting

777
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: the target share as well. So Austin Hooper. It's a

778
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: stad fade for me. Yeah, I think so too. I mean,

779
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: you would have been way better off starting mo Ali

780
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: Cox over the last couple of weeks than than Austin Hooper.

781
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Ali Cox still had back to back double

782
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: digit games. Austin Hooper is struggling to find anything in

783
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: that Cleveland offense, and I don't think it's going to

784
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: get better any time soon. One more tight end Evan Ingram,

785
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: who had a poor Week one, a pretty decent Week two,

786
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: and then fell back and didn't do much in Week

787
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: three against the This one seems a little bit less clear, Kimmy,

788
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: because you know Ingram has not played well, but we

789
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: know the role he occupies in this Giants offense. But

790
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: are you fed up? I've had enough. Are you willing

791
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: to sort of give him the benefit of the doubt?

792
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pump the brakes on. I'm gonna pump the

793
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: brakes on this one because again, obviously, say Kon Barkley

794
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: is injured, he's out for the rest of the season.

795
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: The New York Giants need all of the help that

796
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: they can get on the offensive side of the ball,

797
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: and I really do think Evan Ingram may just be

798
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: one of those only offensive targets that they do have

799
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: to get any type of red zone carries or red

800
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: zone targets so that they can score and be competitive

801
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: in all of their matchups. Although he's only had five

802
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: targets for three receptions in twenty two yards, Daniel Jones

803
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: needs to redevelop that relationship with Ingram and redevelop it

804
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: very very very quickly. Now I do have shares of Ingram,

805
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: so maybe I'm just being biased, but he is a

806
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: streaming option at the tight end position for me because

807
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: I have other guys like a Travis Kelsey or George Kittle,

808
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: and during those by weeks I can play Evan Ingram in. However,

809
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to hold onto him. I'm gonna wait to

810
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: see what happens in the next few weeks, and then

811
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: if he doesn't step up, I think then no one

812
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,720
Speaker 1: wants any shares of any part of this Giant's offense,

813
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: and then we have to re pivot and figure out

814
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: what to do. Yeah, I still want to believe. I

815
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: still want to hold on to Evan Ingram, so I'm

816
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: not ready to put him back on the waiver wire

817
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: just yet, but man time is getting short. You need

818
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: him to start performing. The Giants need him to start performing.

819
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: The match up against the Rams next week. Not necessarily

820
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: wanted to get you excited, but I'm still willing to

821
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: keep the faith and hope that things come around for

822
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram and the Big Blue passing Game. Let's hope.

823
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: Inspired by ongoing conversations with players, the NFL, NFL Players

829
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: we talked about the Bears offense. We talked about Jimmy

830
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: Graham and how he was getting targets from Nick Foles.

831
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: At that moment, we said we didn't know who the

832
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: Bear starting quarterback was going to be. But as though

833
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: the football universe was listening to us, news has come

834
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: down that Nick Foles has been named the starting quarterback

835
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: for the Chicago Bears for their Week four contest. So

836
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: I mean Kimmy just in playing terms, this feels like

837
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 1: good news for Jimmy Graham, Allen Robinson, and so many

838
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: parts of that Bear's passing game. This is exciting. I mean,

839
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us were kind of rooting

840
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: for Mr Durbinski. Obviously I'm a Chiefess fan. We got

841
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, so I just want to remind all the

842
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: Bears fans. You guys could have gotten Patrick Mahomes and

843
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson and then he didn't. But whatever, But this

844
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: is excited. I think again, Nick Foles, I don't think

845
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: he's a backup quarterback. He went and led his team

846
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl. I'm excited for him to get

847
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: these opportunities. Like you said, this means a lot of

848
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: good things for the Chicago Bears, receiving corps, Jimmy Graham,

849
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson, so many other guys, So kudos to you.

850
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: He led the team to really good comeback yesterday as well,

851
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: So I'm excited. Yeah, I mean the Bears came back

852
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: to win. Although part of me wonders was this the

853
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 1: Bears winning or was this just falconing in progress because

854
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: we've seen this a couple of weeks in a row.

855
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: But holds his back, I right, I know. So the

856
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: one thing is that the false coming back certainly means

857
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: I think more targets, at least more quality targets for

858
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: the past catchers. The downside is they have the Colts

859
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: this week, who have one of the best defenses in

860
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: the league and who really just wrecked the Jets on Sunday.

861
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: So it's a good news bad news situation. We'll see

862
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: how it goes, but I think it gives us more

863
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: confidence though in a lot of those Bears, skill position

864
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: players all r Let's talk some Monday night football. We've

865
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: got the Chiefs and the Ravens. It is a great

866
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: way to end Week three when you got two of

867
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: the past NFL m v p s. You have the

868
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: reigning Super Bowl m v P and Patrick Mahomes. You

869
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 1: have two of the most coveted fantasy quarterbacks out there

870
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: to the most exciting place. I can keep going on

871
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: on and on. Let's just ask the question who scores

872
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: more tonight, Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson. I think I

873
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: know which way you're going to go, but I'm asking

874
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 1: you the question anyway. It's a Homer pick. It's Patrick Mahomes.

875
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: But also because I truly do think Patrick Mahomes is

876
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: going to have a really good game. I know on Twitter, yourself, myself,

877
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: Adam Rank, and Florio we all got asked a lot

878
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: of questions. Do I start Patrick Mahomes against the Ravens defense.

879
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely don't ever sit Patrick Mahomes, regardless of the tough matchup. Now,

880
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: on both of his career starts against the Baltimore Ravens,

881
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: he scored twenty plus fantasy points in both of those games.

882
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: He's had two plus passing touchdowns in every single game

883
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: he's played so far, So I absolutely think this is

884
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: going to be a high scoring matchup. When we think

885
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: back to what season when it was the Rams versus

886
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, it was supposed to be that Mexico game,

887
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: but it was played in Los Angeles. That was kind

888
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: of the super Bowl of that season because then the

889
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: Rams and the Patriots went on to have what like

890
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: a seven and three Super Bowl. I truly think that

891
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: this may be a super Bowl like game for the

892
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 1: Ravens and the Chiefs. So I'm excited. I think Patrick

893
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes is going to have upward of fantasy points. I

894
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: do not think Lamar Jackson will be about far behind that,

895
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: but I do think Patrick Mahomes you served them just

896
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,919
Speaker 1: to team it. Look, I think it's gonna be great.

897
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: I do think Patrick is going to have a pretty

898
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: good game. I'm gonna I'm gonna slide aside slightly with

899
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in this one, and I think he will

900
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: sort of have to do it mostly with his legs.

901
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: The chief secondary has been tough going back to last year.

902
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: We started to realize that you couldn't throw the ball

903
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: all that effectively against Kansas City, and so I think

904
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: this is the week that Lamar Jackson is going to

905
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: have to be a more effective runner just to sort

906
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: of back that defense off a little bit, try to

907
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: open some things up. So I think he's gonna get

908
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: out there and look. For fantasy, it's sort of great,

909
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: right because a Russian touchdown gets you six, where a

910
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: passing touchdown might get you four. So in that respect,

911
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 1: this could actually work out pretty well for fantasy folks.

912
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: I think both guys are going to have very good games.

913
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: And you're right. If you're playing in seasonal leagues, it's

914
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: hard to make the case to sit either one of

915
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: these guys. I get it. If you're playing daily, you

916
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: can probably went somewhere else. You probably found some other options,

917
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: that is certainly understandable. But you drafted one of these

918
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: guys really high, right, You probably took Lamar or Patrick

919
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the second, third, maybe fourth round. You're playing them.

920
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: I can't imagine you have a better option or had

921
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: a better option on your bench. And by the way,

922
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: if you waited this long, you have no choice but

923
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: to play them because there's no other games this week.

924
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: So I do think it's gonna be Lamar slightly, but

925
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: I think both will be very entertaining and a lot

926
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: of fun to watch tonight. How worried though, should we

927
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: be about Clyde Edwards Hilaire going up against a very

928
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: tough Baltimore run defense. You know, again we want to

929
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: talk about the matchup. I understand that that that Baltimore

930
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: Ravens are aligning some of the fewest points to running backs. However, again,

931
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: very much like Patrick Mahomes, because of Clyde Edwards Hlaire upside,

932
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: you cannot sit him because he could have another breakout

933
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: week like he did in Week one. This again is

934
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 1: going to be a very high scoring matchup, which means

935
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: points galore and huge upside for c e H. I'm

936
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: starting him. I think he's gonna be a low n

937
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: R V one and I'm just praying and hoping and

938
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: crossing my fingers that he has a Week one performance

939
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: as opposed to that Week two performance that wasn't so great. Yeah,

940
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't give him the ball quite as

941
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: much in week two. He had the twenty five carries

942
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: in Week one. He did have six catches though in

943
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: Week two. And the thing about playing in PPR leagues,

944
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: I know that you know that the stat the researchers

945
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: out there that basically a target is equal one and

946
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: a half points uh one and a half times the

947
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: points of a carry, So maybe that sort of helps

948
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: him a little bit. I've got him with a decent

949
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: total this week, and I think some of it has

950
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: to be done through the air, because I don't know

951
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: how effective he can be running the football. But I

952
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: think if they get him involved in the short passing game,

953
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: get him out in space a little bit to try

954
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: to help him against that Baltimore defense, he can give

955
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: you a decent fantasy point total, which you know, in

956
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: some instances might be all you need to help get

957
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: a win tonight. Finally, I talked about the Chiefs and

958
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: their secondary being tough. So what do you see coming

959
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,959
Speaker 1: for Marquis Hollywood Brown this week? Well, I think, first

960
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: of all, Honey Badger Tyrad Matthew is going to have

961
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: all of his eyes on Marquise Hollywood Brown. However, Markus

962
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown, this is gonna be his breakout season. I

963
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,439
Speaker 1: know we saw an incredible performance in Week one, Week

964
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: two not so much. But he's back on the rebound

965
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: and he's ready to ball out. If the Ravens want

966
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,479
Speaker 1: to win against the Kansas City Chiefs, Marquise Hollywood Brown

967
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: will have to be a key to that success. Now,

968
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: mark Ingram and JK. Dobbins, they have the run gate

969
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: covered well, Hollywood Brown needs to dominate on the receiving

970
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: side to compete with the speed of Tyreek Hill. I

971
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: think he has an opportunity to put up twenty plus

972
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy points. He's healthy, he's recovered, he got that that

973
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: junkie screw out of his foot, and he put on weight.

974
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: This is the healthiest that he has ever looked. He's

975
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: going into his second year out one of the most

976
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: explosive offenses in the NFL. So I think this is

977
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: an exciting time for Marquis Hollywood Brown. I have him

978
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: on my bench because I am a little bit scared. However,

979
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: if you do not have that option and you want

980
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: to play him, I really do think he can go

981
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: and have an opportunity to play extremely well against the

982
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, regardless of their secondary What we have

983
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: seen from Marquis Brown the first season plus of his

984
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,439
Speaker 1: career is that he really defines boom or bust when

985
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: it comes to fantasy production, and I think that's what

986
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: you're sort of going to see from him on Monday Night.

987
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: It is either going to be boom or bust. The

988
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: thing with him is that it doesn't take many opportunities

989
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,959
Speaker 1: for him to have a big fantasy night. He can

990
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: take anything to the house when he gets his hands

991
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 1: on the football, so it only maybe takes one or

992
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: two place for him to have a big fantasy day.

993
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 1: But that sort of volatility also means that you will

994
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: have some really low scores, and so I think for him,

995
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 1: I see either a huge game coming or he gets

996
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: you much of nothing. For that reason, I would tend

997
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: to have left him on my bench this week. I

998
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: would rather uh play. I feel like you have to

999
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 1: play sort of the floor as much as the ceiling

1000
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: with him, and especially if you had other sort of

1001
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: mid level, mid range plays in the week, then maybe

1002
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: this is when you sort of avoid. But again, if

1003
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: you got this far and you haven't decided, then you

1004
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot of other options. Maybe you

1005
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: go with Ankole Hardman or something on the other side

1006
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: who it's just as volatile. So we'll see what happens.

1007
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 1: But Jimmy, this is gonna be fun, right, We're gonna

1008
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: enjoy this one tonight. I know it's gonna be amazing,

1009
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: and I'm sure we will try to be answering and

1010
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: responding back to all the Twitter questions because of course,

1011
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: one of the guys that we chatted about today, he's

1012
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna completely bust or how completely boom and then we'll

1013
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: get roasted regardless. But it's exciting. Again. I think this

1014
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be one of the super Bowl like games

1015
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: of this entire season. We had an exciting game last

1016
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: night m Sunday Night Football between the Packers and the Saints.

1017
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: I think this game tonight is going to rival that

1018
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: game with high scoring, fun energy to dynamic quarterbacks and

1019
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,479
Speaker 1: incredible offenses and defenses. So we're in for a Monday

1020
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: night football treat. Yeah. I would say this is also

1021
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: one of those don't check your lineup games. Just just

1022
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: sit down, enjoy the game, check your fantasy scores afterwards.

1023
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: Just just allow us to be football and don't have

1024
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: to tilt over your fantasy line up there. Yeah that

1025
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: is if we are done. We appreciate your hanging out

1026
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: with the NFL Fantasy Football Show presented by Draft Kings.

1027
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 1: You know the drill. Tell two friends and tell two friends,

1028

1029
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: is that genius has its limits. Be safe, take care
