I want to know which diamond 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.760 help you win your Week four matchup? Was it Lamar 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.800 Miller who with the Houston Texans putting up fifties seven. 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.040 We're gonna have to talk about Deshaun Watson a little 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.799 bit later on was it Devin Functious maybe, who got 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:28.200 not one but two touchdowns as the Carolina Panthers evisceerate 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:32.320 that defense up there in New England like everybody else 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:34.800 has so far this year. We're gonna talk about that 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.920 a little bit as well. Was it Alvin Kamara who 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.280 got ten passes and did work for New Orleans out 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.880 there in London top of the morning to you? Was 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.160 it somebody else? We also want to know who was 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.480 your and I gotta say it this week, your non 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.120 injury related fu gay ze okay, because so many people 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.640 left with injuries that may wind up hurting your team. 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.800 And we have breaking news right now on the Fantasy 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:03.040 Sports Radio Network. Derek Carr, the quarterback of the Oakland Raiders, 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.880 who you know, left the game against Denver yesterday. He's 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.680 going to be out they think around the month, maybe more, 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.920 with fractures in his back. At first they thought it 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.720 was just backstadsms, but now they say he's got a 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.560 fracture there. This is a guy who remember broke his 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.440 leg last year, has a fracture in his back. We'll 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.280 talk about that a little bit as well, but I 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.200 want to know which of your fool gaze he's hurt 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.880 you in week four? Was the guy like Antonio Brown 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.359 who for the first week in a long time, did 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.480 not do it? Was it Damarrius Thomas? I think he 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.120 had like two catches. Was a guy like Brandon Cooks 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.520 who after his big game in week three didn't really 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.280 do much or wasn't someone else? Let me know. You 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.560 can holler at me a little bit later. We're talking injuries, 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.440 we're talking trends and takeaways from week four.

You know this 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.840 used to be one of my favorite songs in the 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.280 early nineties, Onyx giving you that slam right after they 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.200 had throw your guns up. This is good stuff. Digging 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.240 in the crates, my man corns Bovona, the Madamalona ones 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.640 and is keeping it so hot that we sweat steam 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.600 would upping stats over beats here. I'm gonna fantasy freestyle 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.960 on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Like I said, Week 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.840 four was a big one in terms of injuries. Two 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.560 key players that you may have been relying on in 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.880 your fantasy league. Let's start talking about him. First of all, 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.279 I just told you Oakland quarterback Derek Carr has some 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.760 kind of fracture in his back. He's gonna be out, 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.000 they say two to six weeks. I don't know what's 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.920 crazier the fact that you have a fracture in your 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:33.320 back and that football is so violent, or the fact 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.760 that when you have a fracture in your back, you're 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.840 only expected to miss a couple of weeks. Regardless, It'll 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.520 be e J. Manual under center for the Raiders, not 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.800 exactly what they thought going into this season where they 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.719 had so much high hopes and expectations. Also, Beast Mode 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.320 has not really been doing it. We'll talk about that 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.799 as we go through the week as well, But Derek 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.719 Carr definitely gonna miss some time out there in Oakland. 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.720 Julio Jones is day to Dave now because of a 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.919 hip injury. He left the game yesterday against Buffalo, and 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.520 Mohammed Snow also has a hamstring injury. He's gonna be 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.880 out two to three weeks. Lucky thing for Atlanta is 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.800 that they actually have a bye next week here in 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.359 week five of the NFL football season. Week five is 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.520 the first week where there are some buys. Okay, so 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.120 Atlanta has a buy and it couldn't come at a 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.280 better time for their banged up wide receiver corps. Think 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.000 about a guy like Justin Hardy, think about a guy 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.080 like Tyler Gabriel, and even remember that tight end Austin 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.480 Hooper who popped off in Week one, didn't really get 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.160 many targets going forward, came back, bounced back, but Night's 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.680 five for fifty game yesterday. But if there's no Snow, 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.320 and if there's no Julio for a little while, or 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.719 if Julio is gonna be this decoy and something to 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.240 manage game in and game out, I think Hooper Gabriel 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.640 could be guys to target out there in Atlanta. Sad 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.960 to share that Chris Carson looks like he's gonna miss 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.600 the rest of the season. He's gone on I R 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.480 with a what they're saying is a broken ankle. And 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.000 you know it's sad for him because he really was 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.920 in that situation. People thought that he was gonna be 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.000 the answer to the concerns of the Seattle run game 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.400 with that bad offensive line. The question is where do 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.000 we go from here? I am not buying this, mckissy kid. 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.720 I think that's a one, one week kind of thing, 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:22.600 the same as a one week thing with a guy 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.080 like Wayne Gallman, the same as a one week thing 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.880 with a guy like Aaron Jones. Do not drink the 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.880 kool aid on the flavor of the month, because if 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.080 you did that in week one, you picked up Kenny 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.000 Golladay and I told you pump the brakes. It could 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.560 have been Richard Higgins, it could have been who knows 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.720 who it was. But remember these hot guys pop off 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.400 one week, you spend your waiver priority on them, and 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.160 then they do nothing the rest of the time. We'll 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.160 talk about that. Who could it be? Is it gonna 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.880 be fat Eddie Lacey hashtag feast mode? I'm not so sure. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.480 I actually think it's gonna be Thomas Rawls, who was 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.440 a healthy scratch yesterday. I actually think he's gonna be 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.239 the guy. Pete Carroll said too ready to reporters today 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.680 that they're lucky that they have a guy like Thomas 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.320 Rawls who can step right in and do the job. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.920 But maybe the biggest one of them all Dalvin Cook. 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.560 Dalvin Cook, who looked like a three down workhorse stud 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.320 for the ascending Minnesota Vikings was my pick for Offensive 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.080 Rookie of the Year. Looks like he's torn his a 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.400 c L. He's gonna be done for the year, and 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.720 that is a shame. We're praying for you out there. 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.880 He looked explosive and now who knows what will be 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.760 like when he comes back. They said he has some 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.200 cartilage damage, may have some damage to his meniscus as well. 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.320 That is a big time blow to Vikings fans and 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:40.480 to fantasy football owners. Not to be outdone, Marcus Mariota 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.920 left the game with a hamstring injury. He's having an 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.000 m r I. They say he's day to day. Listen, 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.760 if the Titans have to go down to matt Castle, 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.360 it is a problem for their season. Okay, not only 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.640 for guys like the Richard Matthews Is of the world, 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.080 the Delaney Walkers of the world, but also for this 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.280 this whole team. What they want to do. They're called 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.640 exotic smash mouth and Marcus Mariota is a big part 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.199 of that. And matt Castle is not approximating what you 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.560 know Mariota did in the run game. This could be 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.000 bad news. Hopefully Mariota doesn't miss much time. Keep your 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.520 eye out on that for the rest of the week. 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.720 And also up there in Buffalo, we're gonna talk about 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.400 the Bills a little bit more. But up there in Buffalo, 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.600 Jordan and Matthews is gonna have thumb surgery. They say 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.960 he's gonna be out at least a month now. Jordan, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.960 Matthews and the wide receiver group for Buffalo, they weren't 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.959 really doing it. Everybody loves z A Jones coming into 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.400 the season, he hasn't really been doing it. If you 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.240 listen to me on the Fantasy Freestyle, I told you 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.320 that the targets go to Shady McCoy and they go 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.280 to Charles Clay. I'm doubling down on that, Like I 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.480 have eleven and the dealer is showing a six. I'm 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.400 doubling down on that because now these guys are gonna 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.920 be even more of the focus and get even more targets. 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.400 So I like Clay and I like McCoy going forward. Also, 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.800 as it relates to the New York Football Giants, Paul 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.120 Perkins is day to day with the rib issue. Could 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.640 it be dark while coming back? Could it be Vereene? 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.240 Could it be Gallman? I don't know, because I think 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.680 that the Giants are abandoning the run altogether. Like I said, 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.760 I'll talk about that a little bit more so I 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.720 stay away from this altogether. And Odell Beckham, they say 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.840 his finger is sore. Pole but A see the question 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:23.959 I used to always get asked When I was a 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.320 kid and I got hurt and I came off someone, 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.080 you always asked me, are you hurt or are you injured? 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.160 If you're hurt, you play through it. If you're injured, 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.000 you can't play. And you're a detriment to the team. 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.840 Obll Beckham doesn't seem to know the difference because he 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.560 cries like a little baby. And you know, if the 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.000 angle is that bad, then you're injured and you don't play. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.080 But if you're out there, suck it up and play. 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.720 I don't need you falling to the ground in dramatic 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.880 fashion after every time you get tackled or run into 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.600 the sideline worrying about your finger. Listen, he is an 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.760 amazing talent, an amazing player, but it's a little too 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.600 much starting to wear on me. Listen. Head coach Hugh 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.440 Jackson of the Cleveland Brown says, they, quote unquote have 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:08.880 total confidence in Deshaun Kaiser. This after a game where 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.400 he was pulled going sixteen of thirty four fred eighteen 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.160 yards he got benched. I don't know, maybe you want 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.000 to run him out there just to find out if 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.160 you have something in Deshaun Kaiser, and I understand that. 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.160 If that is, then the sole purpose of your season 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.640 to see if he's the guy moving forward or if 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.800 you're right back in the quarterback market next year, at 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:30.679 the top of the NFL draft, I'll tell you who 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.760 does not have confidence in their starting quarterback the Chicago Bears. 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.640 After Thursday Night football. I came here and I told 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.959 you that what's likely gonna happen because they have the 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.440 mini buy and they don't go until Monday night. I 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.320 told you what's likely is that they will make a 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.959 change to Mitchell don't call me Mitch Trabinsky for week 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.640 five Monday Night football against the Vikings. And they came 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.480 out today and said that that, in fact was the case. 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.400 Mitchell Trobinsky will start for the Bears in week five. 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.160 What I want to do now is that when tell 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.880 you my top kind of trends and top takeaways from 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.920 week four. This is what I've been doing every week 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.520 on a Monday, and a lot of it. We're gonna 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.720 hold myself accountable. Also, I'm gonna tell you what shot 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.880 calls I got right and who put it in my 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.640 eye as well. But before we get to that, the 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.960 number one story to me is the New England Patriots. 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:22.440 People were guessing, like, what's a better chance. Will the 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:26.079 Patriots go sixteen and oh or will the Jets go 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.040 oh and sixteen? Well, right now they're both two and two. 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.480 Right now, they're both staring up at the bills in 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.920 the a f C East. What is going on with 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.000 the New England Patriots. I'll tell you it's not Tom Brady. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:41.760 It's not the offense. This defense is a problem. You 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.240 know how much we talk about how bad the Colts 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.719 defenses and everybody we should play against the Colts, how 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.000 bad that defense is, and they look bad yesterday on 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:55.160 Sunday Night Football. Also, after four games, the Colts have 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.280 given up fifteen hundred and eighty five yards. That's around 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.640 sixteen hundred. That's around four hundred a game. That's no 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.880 great shakes. Their thirty one in the league. The Patriots 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:09.320 are dead last at eight hundred and twenty seven yards. 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.640 That is two hundred and fifty more yards they're giving 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.440 up over four games. Then the Cults, who we call 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.880 a dumpster fire. I think that is the problem. They 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.679 made Cam Newton look great when the Saints defense couldn't 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.640 do that. Okay, they made Cam Newton look great. And 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.560 I still don't think Cam is right. But there's a 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.120 problem with the Patriots, and it's with their defense. I 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.560 think it's karma coming around because as I told you, 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.320 remember I told you about a month or two ago 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.600 that on the on the fantasy freestyle that the Patriots 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.719 were already printing for their season ticket holders home a 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.040 f C Championship game tickets. If they get there, just 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:43.920 may not be at home. Don't get me wrong, I 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:45.840 think the Patriots will still be there, but they need 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.600 to fix their defense. I told you also about big 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.920 time injuries this week. So the question is, as a 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.880 fantasy football owner, how do you respond? You know, like, 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.720 who's next man up? Do you take the tack that 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:02.839 you need to, like save maybe your waiver wire, save 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.720 your fat budget until the injury bug hits you and 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.080 not go out after these like one off guys like 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.280 this week it'll probably be Wayne Gallman and Aaron Jones. 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.439 Do you wait until something the injury bug hits you. 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.280 Do you look more into trying to stash some handcuffs? 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.280 Do you look more like how do you respond? We're 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.560 gonna talk about that a little bit this week as well, 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.280 and what I also want to talk about is now 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.640 my man Tony Sencada said that after four games, the 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.000 sample size is legit and there's some three and one 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.120 teams at the top of their division that I think 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:32.720 are very important to note. First of all, in the 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.200 NFC West, the Rams. The Rams are at three and one. 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.600 They lead the division. They have the number one offense 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.200 in the NFL. They're scoring thirty five and a half 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:44.320 points a game. Goff is developing. They won and had 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.520 a good game when Sammy Watkins only had one catch. 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.600 They're doing it inside, they're doing and outside. I told 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.160 you the Rams one of these offenses that are some 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.200 greater than their parts. Take the aggregate and Jared Goff's 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.440 showing development. He's going inside now to Girly and Cup. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.640 He's only gonna go to Woods and Watkins when he 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:01.760 needs to too. And on the other side, how about 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.680 the Buffalo Bill's defense. They go into Atlanta but turned 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.280 the ball over. They have given up only fifty four 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:11.640 points in four weeks. Big defensive touchdown to beat Atlanta. 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.200 I think this could be for real as well. We 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.160 come back. I'm gonna tell you about some guys that 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:17.640 I got right and some guys that put it in 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.800 my eye. Right here on the Fantasy Freestyle and the 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.240 Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we open the phones up to 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:28.800 I'll at your Boy or Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas. 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.600 These three NFL softwares are not due to slump, They're 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.200 due to break out. Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:41.400 Network in year two, things are only getting better. Make 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.320 sure listen live and dell o the app F and 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.440 T s y R Radio. It's free and it's twenty 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.760 four seven. The best Fantasy sports on ten. He's on 0:15:51.800 --> 0:16:14.240 the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.280 Right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, gets your 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.280 boy Dane Martinez. He's the spitting statistician holding you down 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.960 on a Monday after Week four where a lot of 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.400 people got banged up. If you are Derek Car owner, 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.840 a Dalvin Cook owner, Julio Jones goner Our, Marcus Mariota owner, 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.400 Chris Carson owner, you are looking for some help today. 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.320 We got the phone lines open at eight four four, 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.000 eight four, three, six, eight seven nine. I was telling 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.760 you some of my major takeaways from week four and 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.160 I started with the Patriots. I think this Patriots defense 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.800 is a problem. They have given up over two hundred 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.480 and fifty more yards than the Indianapolis Colts. We all 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.440 agree is a horrible defense that we look to attack 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.840 in fantasy sports. So something needs to be fixed with 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.680 you know, New England Patriots defense or else they will 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.320 not be hosting the a f C Championship game, as 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.600 they printed tickets for their season ticket holders. I also 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:07.040 talked about listen the first place Rams are scoring at 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.240 thirty five and a half point a game. I really 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.320 believe in this development of Jared Goffe used really the 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.040 middle of the field, Pepper and guys like Todd Gurley 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.560 and Cooper Cup yesterday. I think this offense is going 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.560 to be able to adjust to the matchup. And I 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.439 really like that Todd Gurley is now a top five 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:26.280 stud okay, and I think this is going to continue 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.520 because they can't put fifty from the box against him anymore. 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.040 I also gave praise to that Bill's defense that went 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:36.520 down into Atlanta who looked scary and sustainable and got 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:38.879 a w. They now lead the a f C East 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:40.840 at three and one. Before we go to the calls, 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.240 I really just real quick, I want to talk about 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.040 the things that I called right and the things that 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.160 I called wrong, because when we open up the phone lines, 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.280 I know people are either gonna be like thanks for this, 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.320 or they're gonna be like, hey, you told me about 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.200 this and let me down. So let me at least 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.760 acknowledge what they wore a real quick First of all, 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.040 I told you about Wendel Smallwood. I told you that 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.200 he would be the guy that I would actually bend 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:03.120 some of my waiver wire or fab budget on because 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.480 I think he takes that Darren since Brows role. And 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:07.240 I also told you I thought he would still get 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.040 some carries as well. What did he do? He had 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.200 six targets, which tied with al Shan Jeffrey, behind only 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.919 zach Ertz for targets in Philadelphia. So yes, he is 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:19.200 taking that pass down work. But he also had ten 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.760 carries and he got into the end zone rushing. I 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.200 think that will continue. It also got a second chance 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.240 for Lagarrett Blunt. La Garrett Blunt looked good for the 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:28.600 first time all year, ripping off a big run, going 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.240 sixteen carries from a hundred thirty six yards. I told 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.960 you about this, but larger. I told you about the 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.159 Philadelphia Eagles. I told you I liked them to be 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.160 the class of the NFC East, and right now they 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.640 are in first place. I told you the Jets were 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.960 home dog that you should take. They won outright, And 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.840 I also told you the reason that I like the 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.840 Jets was because these Jaguars were coming after the London 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.879 game with no Boy and the Jaguars they seem to 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:56.720 uh have some brain farts quite frankly, the fake punt 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.400 that worked against them, the blow Powell touchdown run where 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:01.600 they didn't tack column when they should have. I think 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.679 maybe that was a little bit of jet lag. I 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:07.240 told you about my boy Boom Boom bilal pal Pal 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.960 who went twenty one for a hundred and sixty three 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.960 yards and another twenty seven on the ground without forte 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:17.439 in there. I'd like to say that, hey, you know 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:19.960 what it is. I also told you that the Giants 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.080 and the Cardinals, their quarterbacks were gonna be incredible volume 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:26.520 plays and maybe better for fantasy than they were for 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.960 real life football teams. Will Carson Palmer through it fifty 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.720 one times for three hundred and fifty seven yards. They 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.040 couldn't get to the end zone until overtime, though, But 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:38.080 I told you volume throwing. Eli Manning put it up 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:41.040 forty eight times. He got two hundred and eighty eight yards, 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.119 two touchdowns in the air, and he also ran for 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:46.120 a touchdown. Funny to say, Eli Manning was the second 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:49.360 leading rusher for the New York Giants. They have abandoned 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:51.600 their run game, and those things will continue if you 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.280 listen to your boys speeds and spitting statistician. I told 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:55.680 you that. The other thing I told you was out 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.320 in Buffalo. The targets do not go to wide receivers, 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.840 they go to Lashawn McCoy. And the waiver wire tight 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.760 end pickup that I had was Charles Clay. I told 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:05.800 you about Charles Clay. He got a hundred and twelve 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.879 yards through the air on seven targets. He now leads 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:12.359 the team in all of those receiving categories, targets, receptions, 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:15.560 and receiving yards. I think that will continue, especially with 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.080 Jordan Matthews out for the next month. The couple of 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.399 things though, that I got wrong, I'm gonna admit it. 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:22.720 I got wrong. First of all, I've been telling everybody 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:25.320
