00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show presented by Draft Kings.

2
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: Here's your host, Marcus Grant. What is up? Welcome to

3
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: another edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show presented by

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: Draft Kings. It's me your man, MG, Marcus Grant. Still

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: masking and socially distancing win and where necessary. And you're

6
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 1: almost through the first week of the fantasy playoffs in

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: most leagues. I understand that some folks are playing their

8
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: way in, and so best of luck to you, and

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: best of luck to anybody who was in the playoffs

10
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: and still needing one last game to happen to get

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: a win. I'm already getting hit up in my mentions

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: about folks saying they need this thing to happen or

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: that thing to happen in order to either survive or

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: advance in their playoff matchups. So we'll talk about what's

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: going to happen potentially with the Ravens and the Browns.

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Will also have some waiver wire picks, because you know, hey,

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: it's still time to make some improvements to your roster

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: if you are still alive. Plus, we will throw a

19
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: handful of guys that maybe could be league winners sort

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: of coming out of nowhere, and we'll discuss whether or

21
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: not we think that's going to happen. Jimmy Checks will

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: join us to talk all of that and plenty more.

23
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: But before we dive into it, let's talk to our

24
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: faithful producer, Senior Edward L. Murphy Esquire and Uh, Murphy,

25
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: not a great one for the Gmon this week, but

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: you guys are still in the thick of things that

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: is not over. So even with a frustrating loss, Uh,

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: there's still reason to be hopeful. Yeah. I mean, the

29
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: Washington winning last week really stunk too, and I knew

30
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: that was gonna bite them and going forward, and now

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles going win, Cowboys win, Washington wins again, Giants

32
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: lose a miserable scenario. Um. Offense was totally lost, and

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: I felt pretty good about this game. But um yeah,

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta love the defensive effort. The schedule

35
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: is pretty difficult. I feel like I set myself up

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: for failure, Like I was too excited about the Giants.

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: I was like looking forward to the playoff run. I'm like,

38
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: thank God, no more picking the top ten. I'm gonna

39
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: enjoy some football, meaningful football. And Uh, I've ruined that

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: by speaking it into existence, and it's not gonna be

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: the opposite, and they will be picking top ten and

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: they will be out of the playoffs and it'll be

43
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: a mess again come this off season. It's such a

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: wide variance though, for pretty much all the teams in

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: the division. Either you win the division and you make

46
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs, or you are probably looking at a top

47
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: ten pick. That uh, that's a that's a weird razor's edge.

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: I feel like you you guys are walking right now. Yeah,

49
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean exactly. Yeah, I mean not that they couldn't

50
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: use the top ten pick, especially we're seeing the right

51
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: side of the old line. That game yesterday was was

52
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: pretty brutal. Um or maybe another past rusher to help

53
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: um attack guys like these mobile quarterbacks have been facing

54
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson or Colin Murer. Actually next week they

55
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: have Baker Mayfield to another mobile guy, so it wouldn't

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: be the worst thing. But I mean, actually, there's a

57
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: thousand times before I'm done. I'm just done with the

58
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: early picks. I just want to see really good football

59
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: in the in the winter months. I'm done with this

60
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: season being over in October and November. So I'm hoping

61
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: that they could surprise us and get back on track

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: with a nice wind versus the Browns and hopefully get

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: back on the driver's seat. Well, I would say this,

64
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: whatever happens at the end of this year, next year,

65
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: hopefully say Kuan's back healthy. Joe Ju has shown that

66
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: that he can build this team and he can rally

67
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: this team. So regardless of how this year ends, I

68
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: do feel like there's a very good chance you will

69
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: be enjoying meaningful football in the winter, probably in the

70
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: very tea. Yeah, it's something to hold on to. So alright,

71
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: let's turn now to our friend Kimmy Checks who joins

72
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: us every Monday. And Kimmy, I know on NFL Fantasy

73
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: Game Day on Sunday you were talking about potential strife

74
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: in the home because you're a Chiefs fan, your fiance

75
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: is a Dolphins fan. Your squad ended up victorious, not

76
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: without a fight, though, uh so, how are things in

77
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: the household this morning? You know, it was pretty tense.

78
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: I think the first quarter was a little bit rough

79
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: for me. That the Chiefs weren't playing the way that

80
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: they normally play, and my fiancee, Bason was talking all

81
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: types of smack and telling me all the things that

82
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: I was going to have to do if they lost,

83
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: like wearing a Dolphins jersey, picking up after the dogs

84
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: are two puppies that we have, taking all the trash

85
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: out all the time, you know, just like the fun,

86
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: happy things that couples really talk about. But then my

87
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: squad they pulled through the tree the chiefs for Victorious,

88
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: and things kind of calmed down, and then I got

89
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: to talk smack, So you know, we're still We're still

90
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: kind of easy out the tension. It was a little

91
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: awkward this morning, but we're working through it. Negotiations are ongoing,

92
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: is what it sounds like. So all right, now that

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: we've gotten through that, let's turn into some fantasy headlines.

94
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: And maybe the big story of Sunday was Jalen Hurts

95
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: getting his first professional start for the Philadelphia Eagles against

96
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. And I think people sort of

97
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: came into this, at least I did, with sort of

98
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: just a curiosity factor. Not I wasn't willing to start

99
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts anywhere. I wanted to take a wait and

100
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: see because the Saints had been playing so well, and

101
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Hurts played pretty well. In his his NFL, they view

102
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: the Eagles from their perspective. Most importantly, they end up

103
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: getting the win. That's the thing that they were most

104
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: curious about. But Dalen Hurts through the ball fairly effectively.

105
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: More importantly, he ran the ball incredibly well, which for

106
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: our fantasy purposes is important. A hundred and sixty seven

107
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: passing yards in a touchdown, a hundred and six rushing

108
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: yards did have a fumble. But I mean, Kimmy, what

109
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: you saw out of Jalen Hurts nineteen points, is it

110
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: enough to make you feel like he should be in

111
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: the starting lineup somewhere. I mean, I don't know if

112
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: I would go that far for the rest of the season,

113
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: especially with people in the fantasy playoffs. I think there

114
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: are a lot other quarterbacks that you could be able

115
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: to rely on, even other quarterbacks that are still available

116
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, guys like Philip Rivers, ones that

117
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: you know are going to consistently deliver. However, you have

118
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: to give Jalen Hurts his flowers. You and I were

119
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: talking right before the show started, and you said that

120
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles were really smart about starting Jalen Hurts off

121
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: on a good note. Giving the game script that favored

122
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: him and would give him, you know, some confidence with

123
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: some short passes and some roll off handoff stuff like that. Right,

124
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: that was impressive. I also think one thing that was

125
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: impressive is how the team played itself. You can tell

126
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: that there was a renewed sense of energy and in

127
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: in cohesion between the entire Philadelphia Eagles offense, which obviously

128
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: led to the huge upset over the New Orleans Saints.

129
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: I think that the rushing upside that Jalen Hurt showed

130
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: us yesterday, both him and Miles Sanders having over a

131
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards. This was the very first time that

132
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints have allowed over a hundred rushing

133
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: yards and over fifty contest, which is incredible. So to

134
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: have two guys do that, one of them being the quarterback,

135
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: it can show that if Jalen Hurts as a starter

136
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: next season, maybe then we consider him being in the

137
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: starting lineup. The one thing, and you sort of touched

138
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: on it, it's a thing that I heard and read

139
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: from a lot of people yesterday, was just the confidence level.

140
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: The fact that Hurts stood there and looked confident, looked

141
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: like he was comfortable in the pocket, and I think

142
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: that went a long way towards helping this offense. And

143
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: I haven't watched every Eagles game, but I've watched enough

144
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: of them, and what I saw yesterday was an offense

145
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: that looked functional. Again, um, you know, it just it

146
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: just had been broken with Carson Wentz there behind center.

147
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: And you know, who knows what happens long term, whether

148
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: or not it hurts ends up getting the job. You know,

149
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: we can get into finances and salary cap and all

150
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff that you know may keep wins there,

151
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: but at least for now, there's a reason to be confident. Now,

152
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: next week they do play the Chiefs, who will have,

153
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, a full game's worth of tape to watch

154
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: on him, and you know they will probably scheme differently,

155
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: especially for an offense that was sort of I won't

156
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: say simple, but you know, stripped down to kind of

157
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: help Jalen Hurts. And so I think, again, I don't

158
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: know that I would start him, Certainly if I'm in

159
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs and I'm in a season long league, I'm

160
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: not gonna start him. But I would feel a little

161
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: bit better about save Miles Sanders in that offense with

162
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts than than I did with with Carson Wentz

163
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: on the other side, though, Kimmy, I mean Taysom Hill

164
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: ended up having a pretty good Fantasy day when was

165
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: all said and done. He had eighteen almost nineteen Fantasy

166
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: points for Taysom Hill. It wasn't always pretty throughout the

167
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: course of the game, but I mean, are we are

168
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: we feeling better about it? He did get Alvin Kamara

169
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: more involved, and we're feeling better about it now. I

170
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: was gonna say, yeah, Alvin Kamara, he had a touchdown finally,

171
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: even though I'm still gonna lose the playoffs because Taysom

172
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: Hill is draining me. No, I'm kidding. I mean, the

173
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill experiment is still there. But like you mentioned earlier,

174
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: the next game they play is against the Kansas City Chiefs. Now,

175
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: I think the Saints and Sean Payton are hoping that

176
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: Drew Brees could be healthy enough to play and start

177
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs because if we know anything, this is

178
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: going to be a high scoring back and fourth matchup

179
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: against Kansas City, and you really need your quarterback to

180
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: be able to carry you to a victory. Taysom Hill

181
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: his passing yards were actually there yesterday right twenty eight

182
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: thirty eight passes, two d and ninety one yards two

183
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. He shockingly did not rush for any touchdowns.

184
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: He allowed Alvin Kamara to get in and score. But

185
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: I do think that yesterday's contest showed that there are

186
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: some holes in that Saints offense. And as good as

187
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: we want Taysom Hill to be, as good as Sean

188
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: Payton wants Taysom Hill to be, he is still kind

189
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: of not a quarterback to me, and I know that

190
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: sounds me and I do think he's been productive and

191
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm never going to be smirched that, But the Taysom

192
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: Hill experiment is really going to be tested next week

193
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: if he's the one who has to suit up against

194
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Well, yeah, I first a should correct myself.

195
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: Jamen Hurts plays the Cardinals next week, and it's Taysom

196
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: Hill in the Saints that they played the Chiefs next week.

197
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: But the thing about Taysom Hill is that Taysom Hill

198
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: on his own is a nice fantasy option because he runs,

199
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: because he makes plays, but he's not a guy who

200
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: is doing much to sort of elevate the guys around him.

201
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: It was great to see Alvan Camara get over twenty

202
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: fantasy points, but he still hasn't hit a hundred scrimmage

203
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: yards in a while, and it just feels like a

204
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: struggle to kind of get Camara into the flow of

205
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: the offense. Same thing sort of you're not seeing necessarily

206
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: a lot of huge games from their past catchers, whether

207
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: it's Michael Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Jared cook Um. They're spreading

208
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: the ball around again that it's great for actual football,

209
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: it kind of stinks for us who we just want

210
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: one guy or one or two guys to get the

211
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: ball all the time. Uh. And that one guy who

212
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: seems to get the ball all the time is Taysom Hill,

213
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: which if you don't have him, uh, he's not helping

214
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: you out a whole lot right now. Uh. Derrick Henry

215
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: is helping out a lot of people right now. And

216
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: El Tractor Cito went for two hundred and fifteen rushing

217
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: yards had a pair of touchdowns in the win against

218
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. I started calling him Mr December because when

219
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs, fantasy playoffs rolling around, uh, he generally is

220
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: lights out. We haven't had a fantasy m v P

221
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: discussion in a while. And I'm sure that Derrick Henry

222
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: is not necessarily top of the list, but me is

223
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: he at least in the conversation after what he's been doing.

224
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he could be a playoff m v P absolutely.

225
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: He has one of the best permaintiing schedules for running back.

226
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: They go on and next week they played the Detroit Lions,

227
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: then they play the Packers, then they played the Texas.

228
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: These teams are all some of the worst teams against

229
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: fantasy running backs this season. Like you said, Derrick Henry,

230
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: he's Mr December like this guy does when Fantasy laoffs

231
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: sorre and he was like, hold my beer, let me

232
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: show you guys why I am so great and why

233
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: you always want to draft me in the first round.

234
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: He's had three thirty six plus fantasy point performances this season,

235
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: double digit fantasy points in ten games played, fourteen rushing

236
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns in He is absolutely amazing and I think though

237
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 1: he may not be top of list for Fantasy m

238
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: VP all season long, especially in this playoff run, Derrick

239
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: Henry is just that dude. Every year I always try

240
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: to come up with an alternate name for who could

241
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: be the number one overall pick, just because my theory

242
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: is that we get to like June or July and

243
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: everybody's just consensus like this guy is the one, and

244
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, I don't have any actual discussion over it.

245
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: So I am at this moment nominating Derrick Henry to

246
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: be in the conversation for the number one overall pick.

247
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure Christian McCaffrey will be there. Uh, you know,

248
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe say Kwan Barkley will get his

249
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: name involved in there, but I want Derrick Henry's name

250
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: to be involved in that kind station, especially if the

251
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: Titans ever figure out how to throw him the football occasionally,

252
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: because if that, if he starts catching passes, uh, then

253
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: what he does totally get compared with or combined with

254
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: his rushing ability will be completely and totally unfair. Uh.

255
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: Last headline, it was a good week for a couple

256
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: of rookie running backs. When we talked about Jalen Hurts

257
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: at the quarterback spot, but Jonathan Taylor had a huge

258
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: breakout game. Cam Akers going back to Thursday, had a

259
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: huge breakout game. So looking at those two guys there, right,

260
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: because we've seen you know, we've seen a little bit

261
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: of Clyde Edwards Hilayer. At this point, we know what

262
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: James Robinson can do. But between Jonathan Taylor and Cam Acres,

263
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: who do you think has the higher, more productive ceiling

264
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. I think about I

265
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: look rest of season. I'm probably gonna go with JTT,

266
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: even though I do love Cam Akers and I don't

267
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: want to tease too much, but I know we're going

268
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: to talk about him again during waiver wires. But Jonathan

269
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: Taylor I think has the higher upside because of the

270
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: remaining schedule. Right next step, I play the Houston Texans.

271
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: Then they do have a little bit of a tougher

272
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: matchup against the Steelers, but then they finish with Jacksonville.

273
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: These are teams where Jonathan Taylor, as long as he

274
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: is the lead back and has that same involved that

275
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: he had yesterday, can go out and continue to put

276
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: up twenty thirty Fantasy points. He carried the ball twenty

277
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: times for a hundred and fifty yards two touchdowns while

278
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: also being involved in the passing game, having two catches

279
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: on two targets for fifteen yards. They they had a

280
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: huge win over the Raiders. Jonathan Taylor, I know we

281
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: went back and forth on him. We're trying to figure

282
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: out this lead back situation. But now that it's solidified

283
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: that it's him, I think rest of season Jonathan Taylor

284
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: has a higher upside. I would agree. I also just

285
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: I think the the Cult schedule maybe a little bit

286
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: more favorable down the stretch than what the Rams have.

287
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: I still, you know, I don't know. I still am

288
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: skeptical of Sean McVeigh that he's not going to pull

289
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: a fast one on us. And suddenly, you know, Malcolm

290
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Brown one day suddenly gets like fifteen carries and we're

291
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,359
Speaker 1: gonna be like, you know, WTF. So I have a

292
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: a better feeling that the running back situation in Indianapolis

293
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: is down to two guys. I think Jordan Wilkins is

294
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: sort of out of the mix now. Um, you know,

295
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: Taylor had the big day yesterday, but even Niheim Hines

296
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: still had eleven eleven and a half fantasy point, so

297
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,599
Speaker 1: he's still finding a way to be involved as the

298
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: pass catcher. Which, look, at this point, if it's just

299
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: two guys, I'm fine with that. You bring a third

300
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: guy into the mix, that's when things start to get

301
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: a little bit wonky. So I'm gonna go with you two.

302
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: I think that that it's gonna be Jonathan Taylor overcam Akers.

303
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: But both of them seem like they are set up

304
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: to be really positive for the rest of the season.

305
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: So that was good. Let's get to the bat where

306
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: the other round of I'm salty because there are guys

307
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: that made us a little bit unhappy. The first one

308
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: is Geo Bernard, who and this wasn't really Geo's fault, right,

309
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: This is a guy who literally never fumbles the ball.

310
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: I think he had like eight hundred semod career carries

311
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: without a fumble. He fumbled yesterday and then couldn't get

312
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: back on the field for a long time. The matchup

313
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: was great, the Bengals actually moved the ball against the Cowboys.

314
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: But Kimmy, I am salty that somehow Geo makes one

315
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: mistake for the first time in like almost ever, and

316
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: he can't get on the field anymore. Yeah, that's ruthless, right.

317
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: He fumbled the ball earlier in the game and then

318
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: he didn't have another reception or a target until the

319
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: third quarter. Like that is salt Bay right there. Geo

320
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: should be salty for himself and for for his coaches

321
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: for pulling him out of the game like that. I

322
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: understand that the reason he didn't have the production is

323
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: because he wasn't on the field to have the production. However,

324
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: he only had four points last week, and then he

325
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: had three Fantasy points this week. He's not been able

326
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: to put up double will digit Fantasy points since Week eight.

327
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: And if you look at who the Cincinnati Bengals played next,

328
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: they go on to play the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's a

329
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: tough matchup. So I understand we can be salty now

330
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: because of that whole fumble situation, and it was mean

331
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: to yank him off the field. But I don't know

332
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: if I'm going to go into next week starting GEO.

333
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: Probably not that that part is you know. I'm sure

334
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: folks will have to debate that. Um maybe that's your

335
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: only option. I get it, But if I have choices,

336
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: I am probably staying away from GEO against the Steelers.

337
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: But does that, Taylor, what gives man? I mean, everybody

338
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: makes mistakes, like give GEO a shot. Next on the

339
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: list is Chris Godwin, who on paper had a great

340
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: matchup against the Vikings, whose secondary has been torched all

341
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: year long, and nothing really happened. Chris Godwin had three targets,

342
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: just two catches for twenty five yards. Um mean, while

343
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: Scotty Miller's catching long teuchdown passage. What gives? Why did

344
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: this happen to me? Because the fantasy gods hate you, Marcus. No,

345
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: it isn't just always the thing. It's like we see

346
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: the matchup on paper, and we tell everyone, start this guy,

347
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a monster game, and then it just

348
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, and Scotty Miller gets all the production and

349
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: gets the touchdown and Chris Godwin gets not a We

350
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: can be salty, and we can understand that this is

351
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: not the performance we wanted. Four and a half fantasy points,

352
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: not what you need to carry you through the fantasy playoffs. However,

353
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: I do think you can again start Chris Godwin next week.

354
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: Huge bounce back game and opportunity against the Atlanta Falcons.

355
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: We understand that that defense is not good against anyone really,

356
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: especially fantasy wide receivers. So I do think that he'll

357
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: be able to bounce back. But yeah, this is a

358
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: salty situation. Chris Godwin, you burned, Marcus. You can't be

359
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: burning my friend, man, right, man, this is not gonna

360
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: work out. I have also just tried to stay on

361
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: the Godwin train. I have felt all year like he

362
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: is maybe or should be the main target uh in

363
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: the offense for the Buccaneers, although look, nobody really had

364
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: a great receiving game. I mean, Mike Evans had a

365
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: team high fifty six yards and that was just on

366
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: five targets, so it wasn't as though. I guess maybe

367
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: I feel worse if there were like one guy that

368
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: were loaded up with a whole bunch of targets, if like,

369
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, a Tonio Brown had like twelve targets and

370
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, a hundred and twenty yards or something like that.

371
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: But I guess, really nobody did anything in the passing

372
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: game for for Tampa, so maybe we should be salty

373
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: about all of them. I don't know, also salty about

374
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett because, as I tweeted yesterday, Russ was making

375
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: a play for everybody except Tyler Lockett. I mean, like

376
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: everybody was catching touchdowns and felt like, but kids, come on,

377
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: somehow got shut out of the party. In the big

378
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: win over the Jets. The point that I mean at

379
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: some point that the Seahawks pulled Russell Wilson Gino Smith

380
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: in the game, UM ten points. I guess I shouldn't

381
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: really be upset, Kimmy, but it just feels. It just

382
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: feels like a snub because Tyler Lockett was not a

383
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: guy who caught a touchdown yesterday. I know, and this

384
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: is what we need because we want touchdowns from our

385
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: past catchers, especially in the fantasy playoffs where every single

386
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: point matters. But we have to understand that Tyler Lockett

387
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: has been consistently good even if he's not up there

388
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: doing dk met Catholic things with thirty plus fantasy points.

389
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: He's still seeing at least five targets and caught at

390
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: least three passes in nine straight games and is closing

391
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: out in his second straight a thousand plus receiving yard season.

392
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: We have to give him his flowers and understand that

393
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: he's doing as much as he can even if Russell

394
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: Wilson isn't one of the guys throwing him uh touchdowns

395
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: in the end zone. But to note, next week, the

396
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks go on and played the Washington football team

397
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: and their secondary is tough, So I don't know if

398
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: that means that they're going to try and lock up

399
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf more or they're gonna split, locking down both

400
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: him and Tyler Lockett. But both of those past sketchers

401
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: need to be looked at ahead of week fifteen. People

402
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: are gonna have some interesting decisions this week because, as

403
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: you mentioned, it's Washington, So like, you know, how do

404
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: you feel about Russ, how do you feel about lock It?

405
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: I think I think everybody's starting DK Metcalf at this point.

406
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're really gonna have to make some hard

407
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: choices in a week fifteen because of of who the

408
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: Seahawks have next on the schedule. All right, our last,

409
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: our last, the salt, salt, salting. I don't know. The

410
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: last person that we're salty about is Ezekiel Elliott. And

411
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: this is maybe an accumulation, like this is a build

412
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: up of salt. This is like a pillar of salt.

413
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: That's that's that's growing here with Zeke, another frustrating day

414
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: for him, just seven point nine fantasy points. It has

415
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: been a while since you have felt like he is

416
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: an elite level running back. Hasn't had twenty points since

417
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: week five. Um, I'm just I'm just generally salty, kim

418
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: me because you're a point where you almost feel like

419
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: you have to start him because you might not have

420
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: any better options. But he's also not giving you much

421
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: like I don't even know what to do with him

422
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: now right. I mean, on NFL Fantasy Game Day on Sunday,

423
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: we were talking about this Ezekiel Elliott situation going up

424
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, and we all asked, are you going

425
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: to still trust Zeke? And we all with confidence that

426
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we can be worried about it, but

427
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: we kind of don't have a better option. However, to

428
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: only put up eight fantasy points against the Bengals is

429
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: so incredibly just like math, It's it's weird to me.

430
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: Another thing that I thought was kind of strange is

431
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: that he split carries evenly with Tony Pollard, and maybe

432
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: that how to do with Zeke popping up on the

433
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: injured list that week and dealing with a calf injury.

434
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: But you don't expect this out of a guy that's

435
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: taken out of the first round. You do not, um

436
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: you know, there there are a lot of mitigating circumstances here,

437
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: but it doesn't really you know, change the fact that

438
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: Zeke was outscored by Tony Pollard, Um, that doesn't make

439
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: me feel better about it. So if you have made

440
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: it this far with Ezekiel Elliott, congratulations to you, because

441
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: it's been a while since you have gotten requisite production

442
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: out of him. So we'll see if if it gets

443
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: better down the stretch. But as long as you were

444
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you're probably starting Zeke and you're hoping

445
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: that somebody else fills in the gaps where he does

446
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: not step up and perform for you. Okay. Today's show

454
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: we do every Monday on the show. We picked three players,

455
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: Kimmy tells me how much she believes in them, and

456
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: then we ask you guys to vote on it. This

457
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: is week four Team. Hopefully you know how this works

458
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: by now. Let's start with Mitchell Trubisky, who had himself

459
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: a day against the Houston Texans on Sunday, actually heading

460
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: into the Monday night games, Ritch Trubisky is your QB

461
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: four for the week. Two hundred and sixty seven passing yards,

462
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: three touchdown passes, nearly twenty five fantasy points. And next

463
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: week the matchup is pretty good for Trabinsky against the

464
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. So is he turning over a new leaf?

465
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: Can we count on Mitch Trobinski for the rest of

466
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Did Adam Rank right this segment? You know,

467
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: Rank is like so incredibly jazz. After the Bears beat

468
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: the Texas yesterday and Mitch went out and had a showing. Now,

469
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: I will say this is only his second twenty plus

470
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: fantasy point in game this season. However, this is his

471
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: third straight game with two and forty plus passing yards

472
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: and at least one passing touchdown and thirteen plus fantasy points.

473
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: I know we like to muddy the waters of the

474
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: of the situation there at Chicago and talk crap on

475
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: Mitch to Whisky and Nick Foles and say their QB

476
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: situation is not good. But like you mentioned, they have

477
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: such a good matchup next week against the Minnesota Vikings,

478
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: and then in a week sixteen go ahead and take

479
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: on the Jacksonville Jaguars and then finish with the Packers.

480
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: So if you look at the remaining schedule, it's not

481
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: so bad for Big Mitch. So I don't know, I may,

482
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: I may take a flyer on this one. It really

483
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: is the thing where you know, I would wouldn't be

484
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: surprised if you see him, certainly in some DFS lineups,

485
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be surprised if I get a question

486
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: or two about, hey, so should I stream Mitch Like

487
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 1: It really wouldn't surprise me. The other part of it

488
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: is you look at the the better games he has

489
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: had this season, it is when he's willing to run

490
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: the football a little bit more. You mentioned the twenty

491
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: point game he had in Week one. He had twenty

492
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: six rushing yards. He had twenty three rushing yards on Sunday.

493
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: I know those don't sound like huge numbers, but a

494
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, when Mitch was, you know, knocking

495
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: on the door of being a viable fantasy quarterback, he

496
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: was running a little bit more often, and you wonder

497
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: if they start to integrate that into his game, whether

498
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:50,959
Speaker 1: or not, He's going to be a little bit more

499
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: of a productive fantasy quarterback. So uh. Next up is

500
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: Drew Lock for the Denver Broncos, and Lock has been

501
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: very much up been down, but he is just one

502
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: spot ahead of Trabinsky as we speak right now with

503
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: what he did on Sunday, four touchdown passes, two passing yards,

504
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: twenty five point six fantasy points. Next week a match

505
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: up with the Buffalo Bills, who have been known to

506
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: give up some yards and points to quarterbacks. How are

507
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 1: you feeling about Drew Lock this Monday morning? You know, again,

508
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: you got to give people the credit where it's due,

509
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: and Drew Lock did play incredibly good football yesterday. Four

510
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns is in saying you saw him getting Tim

511
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: Patrick involved. Tim Patrick quietly being a really good pass

512
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: catcher for the Broncos and a guy who I think

513
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: will kind of boost up on fantasy boards next season.

514
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: But like you said, they go on and they play

515
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills next, even though they are giving up

516
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: plenty of points to quarterbacks. I do think that's a

517
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: very tough and intimidating matchup for for Drew Lock. Within

518
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: they went and face on the Chargers and the Raiders

519
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: to divisional games where I think he does have an

520
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: opportunity that if you were in a daily league and

521
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: he wanted to maybe start him in daily's I wouldn't

522
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: really be mad at it. I yeah, I don't know

523
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: that I'm starting him in a season long league. I'm

524
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: not starting him in the playoffs. What was good about

525
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: Lock yesterday was that he didn't throw an interception. It

526
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: was the first time he had played, started, and completed

527
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: a game without throwing an interception since Week one. Other

528
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: than that, he had been on a crazy interception streak.

529
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: It was part of the reason that I suggested the

530
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: Panthers as a streaming defense this week. That didn't work

531
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: out fight so much because Lock protected the football. But

532
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: I also don't know that I believe that streak is

533
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: going to continue, So that would kind of make me

534
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: a little bit nervous about starting him next week against

535
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: the Bills, especially the Bills who did a pretty good

536
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: job against Ben Roethlisberger on Sunday Night. The last one,

537
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: and we sort of touched on it earlier. It's Miles

538
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: Sanders who went over a hundred yards against the Saints,

539
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: had a long and eighty two yard touchdown run that

540
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: really kind of kick started everything for him in that

541
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: ball game. We have been frustrated to me because he

542
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: hadn't beginning the ball he hadn't been producing quite as much.

543
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: But is what we saw yesterday the beginning of something

544
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: good for him. I think you tweeted it, didn't you say?

545
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: You were like, oh so, I guess Carson Wentz also

546
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: made Miles Standers bad. And now that Jakalen Hurts is

547
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback, Miles Sanders is back, baby, Like you said.

548
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: He had an eighty two yard rushing touchdown, which really

549
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: sparked off his incredible performance. He exploded for a hundred

550
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: and fifteen yards two touchdowns, also having four receptions for

551
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: twenty one yards, finishing with almost thirty fantasy points and

552
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: that huge win over the Saints. On Fantasy Game Day,

553
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: I said that Miles Sanders was a fantasy villain and

554
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: that he was going to ruin and soil the playoffs

555
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: for you because his Fantasy points were decreasing in every

556
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: game over the last three weeks and we hadn't really

557
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: seen that production. Now you have two wonder is what

558
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: we saw yesterday what we're going to see for the

559
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: remainder of the season for Miles Standers, they go on,

560
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: they play the Arizona Cardinals this week, then they played

561
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, and then finished with the Washington football team.

562
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: The Cowboys the best out of all those matchups because

563
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: their seventh worst against fan to see running backs. I

564
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: I I talked smack on you, Miles Standers, and you

565
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: came through and delivered. So I gotta I gotta retract

566
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: my words and say sorry. But the only point that

567
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: I will make is I don't think that we can

568
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: go out and expect an eighty two yard rushing touchdown

569
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: every single week. And that's where we saw a lot

570
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: of this fantasy point. So I would temper expectation. But

571
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: out of all three guys on the list, I feel

572
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: like I most believe in Miles Sanders from here on

573
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: that what I think is is encouraging about what happened

574
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: with Sanders yesterday. And when when first week you're telling

575
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: me I can't count on an ad two yard rushing

576
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: touchdown every single week? Like what what is this? What

577
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: sort of madness is that? Um? But what I what

578
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: I did like about what the Eagles did yesterday was

579
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: on top of sort of trying to make things easier

580
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: for Jalen Hurts. They also really made it a point

581
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: to get the ball in the hands of their playmakers

582
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible out in space, and so that

583
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: included Miles Sanders a lot of you know, swing passes,

584
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, just dump offs, a lot of the r

585
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: P O s um. But they also get it with

586
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Figer as well. Just try to get him out

587
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: there with the ball in his hands and let him

588
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: use his speed. So hopefully that can kind of continue.

589
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: We'll see what sort of counterpunches the Cardinals have next week. Um,

590
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: but I do think that maybe this is something to

591
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: kind of get Sanders going again, and maybe it's not

592
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: a hundred rushing yards and a couple of touchdowns every

593
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: single week, but just something that gets him closer back

594
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: to where he was at the start of the year.

595
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: Also part of that is Doug Peterson, thanks for giving

596
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: him more than like six touches in a game for

597
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: the first time in what seems like forever. That goes

598
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: a long way towards helping as well. All Right, if

599
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: you have a thought, when I'm sure you do, because

600
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: it is the Internet on which one of these guys

601
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: seems to be the most sustainable for the remainder of

602
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: the season. You can go vote at Kimmy's Twitter page

603
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: at Kimmy checks Uh and let your voice be heard

604
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: digitally over which one of these guys you think has

605
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: some staying power for the rest of the season. That's

606
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: was performance ready presented by Castrol Edge. The waiver wire

607
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: options maybe aren't as great this time of year, but

608
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: there might still be somebody out there that can help

609
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: you as we continue on through the playoff journey. Let's

610
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: look at some quarterbacks here. Philip Rivers, who's been staying hot.

611
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: We talked about Mitchell Dubinsky and Drew Lock. Those guys

612
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: are both out there. Some running backs. A lot of

613
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: running back names worthy Cam make are still available in

614
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: about fift of NFL dot com leagues. Adrian Peterson is

615
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: still out there, maybe just sort of has a hedge

616
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: as he looks like he's still splitting some time with

617
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift. Jeff Wilson, who started taking some snaps there

618
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. J D mckissic. Maybe not in a

619
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: ton of leagues, but it's worth taking a look just

620
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: in case. Antonio Gibson is still out to keep an

621
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: eye to see if Mkissic is available at wide receiver.

622
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: Kiki Qt, Tim Patrick, Gabriel Davis starting to get some

623
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: more targets there in Buffalo, Kendrick Born and name to

624
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: keep in mind depending on the severity of the injury

625
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: to Deebo Samuel. That means Born could get on the

626
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: field and get some more opportunities. Tied in incredibly thin

627
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: but Cole Commet starting to get some love there in Chicago.

628
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: I know Jimmy Graham had the touchdown, but Committ is

629
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: getting more targets, so he should be on your radar there.

630
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: And a couple of defenses the Browns, who Adam Rank

631
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: and I have sort of been touting for weeks. It's

632
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: at least good to pick them up and stash them.

633
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: I know, uh, they have a big game against the

634
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: Ravens tonight, but the next two weeks are good matches.

635
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys who have some good matchups coming up

636
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks as well. So we'll

637
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: talk first though about cheeky QT Kimmy, because I know

638
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: you were big on him this past week. I thought

639
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: he had some good opportunities coming. It didn't really work out,

640
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: but I still think there's there's some good things potentially

641
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: coming for QT the rest of the year. Hold on

642
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: the faith Marcus. It's okay he didn't have that huge

643
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: performance that he had back in week thirteen. He only

644
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: managed to put up almost ten Fantasy points yesterday against

645
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. But the reality is is that he's

646
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: still one of the only main pass catching receiving options

647
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans and he is going to be

648
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: needed so much next week when they faced the Indianapolis Colt,

649
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: he was managed. He was able to manage a touchdown

650
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: and get into the end zone. So I still have

651
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: faith in Kiki Qti and he's still a guy that

652
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: I think if he's available on the waiver wire and

653
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: you really need some help in some depth at the

654
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver position for the playoff push, he could be

655
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: I still think he's going to be that dude, And

656
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: I know that Deshaun Watson was talking him up earlier

657
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: in the week. It might be a situation where hopefully

658
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: if Brandon Cooks comes back, that helps, because Houston really

659
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: was shorthanded in terms of pass catchers. Uh, you know,

660
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: the the image of Jordan Nakens just clanking an easy

661
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: touchdown right off his chest still stays with me. He

662
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: kept me up at night because it was man, it

663
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: was bad, but it is a good player, I think though.

664
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: He does me a little bit of help. So if

665
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is able to come back, I still feel

666
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: okay about him and I think he should probably be

667
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: on rosters for the next couple of weeks. You mentioned

668
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: Tim Patrick a little bit earlier and we were talking

669
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: about Drew Lock, and he very quietly is having a

670
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: pretty nice back half of the year on a team

671
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: that you know they lost Courtland Sutton. Jerry Judy hasn't

672
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: quite panned out in his first year the way some

673
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: of the other rookie receivers have, but in the meantime

674
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: need Tim Patrick has stepped in there and I think

675
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: that a pretty good job for the most part of

676
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: picking up the slack for the Bronco passing game oh

677
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,239
Speaker 1: a hundred percent, and especially yesterday, no a fantom tight end.

678
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: He was not playing, So you really did see Tim

679
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: Patrick step up and have those incredible connections Withdrew Lock

680
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: that we mentioned earlier. Thirty six receiving yards a touchdown,

681
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: almost thirteen fantasy points. This is back to back weeks

682
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: with a touchdown. He scored double digit fantasy points in

683
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: five of the last six games. One of those games

684
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: was when the practice squad receiver was in as a

685
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the team, so that was the only

686
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: time that he didn't have double digit fantasy points. But

687
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: like you said, he really has put together a nice

688
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 1: little last half of this fantasy season and could be

689
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: moving up fantasy boards as we start to look ahead.

690
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: I do hope for his sake that you know, obviously

691
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't. I don't think he's losing sleep on where

692
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: he's picked in fantasy drafts, but I do think he

693
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: should get some more respect based on what he's done

694
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: this year and even going back to last year, because

695
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: when the Broncos had in juries late last season, Tim

696
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: Patrick stepped in and made plays. And then what happened

697
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: this year is and everybody was excited about Courtland Sutton,

698
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: and then the Broncos went out and they drafted Jerry

699
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: Judy and they drafted kJ Hamdler and we stopped talking

700
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: about Tim Patrick. And Hamler's had some nice weeks. Judy

701
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: has had, you know, one really big week Sutton will

702
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: presumably be back and healthy next year, but I think

703
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: Tim Patrick has done enough in the last year and

704
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: a half to warrant getting some looks in fantasy draft.

705
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: He won't be a high draft pick. I'm not pretending otherwise,

706
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: but he should be drafted because I think he has

707
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: done enough to warrant that opportunity for the Broncos and

708
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: for your fantasy squads as well. All Right, So the

709
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: question I always ask at this point though, if you

710
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: have the top waiver priority in your league, where are

711
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: you going with it? Number one spot? I'm doubling down.

712
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: I think I said this last week. I'm gonna say

713
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: it again now, Cam Akers, like you mentioned, he's still

714
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: available in almost of NFL dot com leagues. On that

715
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: Thursday night football game, him and the Rams had quite

716
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: the game. They shined in prime time career best twenty

717
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: nine rushes for a hundred and seventy one yards and

718
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: twenty one fantasy points. He truly has become this lead back.

719
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: I know. We joked in said Sean McVeigh is probably

720
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: gonna give Malcolm Brown the ball now and then completely

721
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: confused all of us. But for now, Cam Akers, is

722
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: that dude if I'm not able to get him, I

723
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: again am going to double down on ki ki qt

724
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: for my past catching option. I'm going with Acres as well.

725
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean one. I say this all the time. I

726
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: feel like you can't have enough depth at running back,

727
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: especially this time of year. And it's three straight weeks

728
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: for him with eighty four or more scrimmage yards. Uh.

729
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: Last week the only thing he didn't do was score

730
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown, but he did enough in so many other

731
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: areas that had got him twenty one point. So I am.

732
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: I am all in that that kid that Sean McVeigh

733
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: is leaning on cam Akers. I know that's when we

734
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: start to get burned. But whatever, I'll take that chance

735
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: and I will I will run with it pun intended. Uh.

736
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: Good luck, happy hunting on the waiver wire. For those

737
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: of you who are still involved in your playoffs heading

738
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: into Week fifteen, have a say in this year's Pro

739
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: Bowl Vote presented by Verizon. The Pro Bowl may look

740
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: different this year, but the best players will still be recognized.

741
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 1: Show your love, cast your vote, and make sure your

742
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: favorite players still earn their place one Pro Bowl Roster.

743
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: Vote today at NFL dot com slash Pro Bowl Vote

744
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: so we don't have a Fantasy Pro Bowl. In fact,

745
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: I guess fantasy is sort of like the Pro Bowl

746
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: or the Pro Bowl sort of like Fantasy. I don't

747
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: know either way. We're putting together the dream teams that

748
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: we can and now there are some guys that maybe

749
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: at the start of the year we might have discounted

750
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: ignore it altogether, who are shaping up to potentially help

751
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: you really win some championships. We'll talk about guys that

752
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: are potentially league winners, or maybe they're not. Maybe we're

753
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: just sort of blowing smoke here. The first one, though,

754
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: is David Montgomery, who has been really great for the

755
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: last three weeks. The next two weeks, Kimmy has a

756
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: pretty favorable schedule with the Vikings and the Jaguars. Could

757
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: it be that David Montgomery is going to be on

758
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: a few championship rosters this year? I think he could be.

759
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, such good matchups against Minnesota, Jacksonville and

760
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: then finishing with the Green Bay Packers. All of those

761
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: teams are incredibly susceptible to the run game and have

762
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: allowed a ton of points to fantasy running backs. Now

763
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: he's had seventy yards to one hundred yard rushes in

764
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: the last three weeks with twenty four plus fantasy points.

765
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: This is a guy that if you're in the Fantasy

766
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: playoffs and you have a running back or any player

767
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: that tours over like twenty fantasy points, you should yell

768
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: and scream and stomp and cheer because that is exactly

769
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: what you need to secure a fantasy championship. I do

770
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: have a feeling that David Montgomery could be a guy

771
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: helping Coast people into a championship wins. I am, I'm

772
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: on board, and I guess I'm excited about this because

773
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: last year I was a big David Montgomery fan and

774
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: it just didn't really work out. He was just kind

775
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: of met last year, so this year I felt like,

776
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: you know, I was burned. So I felt like maybe

777
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: he was a little bit closer to his ceiling than

778
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: I thought, and I was just I just kind of

779
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: hit shied away from him in a lot of drafts.

780
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: But he really has picked things up, especially since the

781
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: injury to Tarik Cohen. He's starting to get more opportunities,

782
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: starting to get more targets and do a lot more

783
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: on in both phases of the offense. And then the schedule.

784
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: It just works out so well for him that I'm

785
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: back on board and back to what I was at

786
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: the start of last season, that I'm starting to buy

787
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: into David Montgomery again. So uh yeah, for that, I

788
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: do think. I do think that that folks who have him,

789
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: if you're still in the playoffs, um, he's going to

790
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: carry you a long way. For those of you who

791
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: are in the consolation bracket, well he'll help you get

792
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: through that as well too. It works both ways. Um. Similarly,

793
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton and we've talked about the Colts, we

794
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 1: talked about their passing game and how you know, sometime

795
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: in September October, I had just kind of said, you

796
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: know what, I think I'm done with him. I'm not

797
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm not going near it. H t Y Hilton had

798
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: been dropped off a ton of rosters, understandably, but three

799
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 1: weeks in a row for t Y Hilton, he's put

800
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: together some really nice performances. The schedule not terrible down

801
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: the stretch, Eugene Marquis, Hilton could be could be that

802
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: guy to kind of get you over the hump. Huh.

803
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if you have not dropped t

804
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: Y Hilton, that you should be very happy that he

805
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: can get you over the hump. Like you said, a

806
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: lot of us just completely lost face because faith excuse me,

807
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: because his production wasn't there. He really wasn't delivering. But

808
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: he's coming off of a two score game over twenty

809
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: five Fantasy points versus the Las Vegas Raiders. This this

810
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,959
Speaker 1: is third straight week leading the team and receiving. Yard

811
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: is also having four touchdowns in that three week span.

812
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: If you need t Y Hild moving forward, like you said,

813
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: there's a decent matchup schedule. Maybe he could be the

814
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: dude who's a sneaky one that leads you to a

815
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: fantasy championship. If you didn't drop him. If you didn't

816
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: drop him, or if he is available in your league,

817
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: go go check the waiver wire. I mean, you know

818
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: the chances are he might be picked up, but it's

819
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: always worth a shot, right because if he's out there, uh,

820
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: there's a very good chance he really could step in

821
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,479
Speaker 1: there and be productive for you. Look it, I didn't

822
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: think we'd be saying this after September, but here we

823
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: are in December and things have changed. Just a reminder

824
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: to that that it is a long fantasy season and

825
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: things that we believe in h September don't always started

826
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: out to be true in December. All right, last one? Uh,

827
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: all right, there we go. Mike Gasicky, My rundown got

828
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: stuck up. Mike, who again I was big on at

829
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: the start of the year and then the middle of

830
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: the season he just was kind of letting people down.

831
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: But he scored a touchdown in three straight games. I'm

832
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: still hesitant, Jimmy, I'm still I'm still a little bit nervous.

833
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: But can you tell me a story where Mike Gasicki

834
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: ends up as a league winner? You? Okay, ready, Marcus.

835
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: Once upon a time there is a tight end named

836
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: Mike Sicky. His starting corridor back was to a to

837
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: A likes his tight ends. There you go, that's the story.

838
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: That's all you need, Like you said, he said. Four

839
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns over the last three weeks, back to back twenty

840
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: three plus fantasy point games, three games in a row

841
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: with over a even fantasy points. We talk on the

842
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: show every single week about the tight end situation. Right,

843
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: tight ends are not so hot this season unless you

844
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: have Travis Kelsey. I mean, Darren Waller is kind of

845
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: up there too. But honestly, unless you have Travis Kelsey,

846
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: your tight end situation has been a little bit of

847
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: a head scratcher and really annoying and confusing. Micasecki could

848
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: be the tight end to help people get into the

849
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs and hopefully secure a Fantasy championships. So I

850
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: know you want to be scared, Marcus, but Micasecki has

851
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: been delivering and to a clearly likes to throw him

852
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: the ball. I think he has way bigger of a

853
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: higher upside over guys like Devonte Parker on the Miami Dolphins.

854
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: So even though you're scared, maybe you gotta rock with Mike.

855
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: That was the thing that I noticed yesterday that it

856
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: does seem like tah is good for Mike Gasecki. Uh.

857
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: And you know, I used to believe that Titans and

858
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks kind of went together like chicken and waffles.

859
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: I think statistically that has proven to not necessarily be true,

860
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: but in this case, I think it is. I think

861
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: I think to a Tango Viola has really kind of

862
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: formed a rapport with Mike Gisicky seems to be throwing

863
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: him the ball, especially down near the end zone. Uh.

864
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: Sicky with two touchdowns yesterday and in a world where

865
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: as I always say we are thirsty for tight end production,

866
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: maybe this is one to sort of maybe this is

867
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: a thirst trap worth getting caught in with with this

868
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: Mike gasicky thing. So maybe I will say that I'm

869
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 1: still skeptical because I don't want to get my heart broken,

870
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: but I'm willing to I'm willing to jump in and

871
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: take the shot with a sicky right the rest of

872
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: the One other thing I mean that we do have

873
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: to be mindful of is that at the end of

874
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: the game during the fourth quarter, he did sustain a

875
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. It's Monday, we're still awaiting all the results

876
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: from the inner m R. I excuse me, so obviously

877
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. But if he is healthy,

878
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: I do think he could be a go for the

879
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: remainder of the season. Yeah. Good, good point there as well.

880
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: By the way, the NFL playoffs are nearby. The fantasy

881

Speaker 1: both division, for the NFL, for the a f C playoffs,

913
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 1: all of that. The Ravens kind of on the outside

914
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: looking in, needing some help, and so they've got to

915
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: start with a win tonight against a good Brown's team.

916
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 1: But we're just here for the fantasy points. And so

917
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 1: let's start with Lamar Jackson. Higher or lower. We're gonna

918
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna get our Cynthia Freeland on here higher or

919
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: lower than eighteen fantasy points for Lamar Jackson tonight. Give

920
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: me higher, b Levard Jackson. I think we are starting

921
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: to see the vnch is Lamar Jackson that we saw

922
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: last season, that m DP run that we wanted, especially

923
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 1: that rushing upside. He's coming off in almost a hundred

924
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: yard rusher against the Cowboys in Week thirteen. Now the

925
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: Browns are allowing the seventh most fantasy points two quarterbacks

926
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: this season, So I could see Lamar Jackson putting up

927
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: twenty three five fantasy points tonight and being vintage m

928
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,959
Speaker 1: D P. Well, I will say higher. I'm not gonna

929
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: say a lot higher. I think I've got him at

930
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: like nineteen, so that's more than eighteen. But uh, He's

931
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,479
Speaker 1: had forty five or more rushing yards in every game

932
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: but one, which means you essentially are starting the game

933
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: with four and a half points with Lamar Jackson, and

934
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: you know the Browns giving up just about nineteen and

935
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 1: a half fantasy points per game to the quarterback position.

936
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: Lamar has been actually pretty good when you talk about

937
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: overall quarterbacks and points per game. So I know that

938
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: people are frustrated because he's not giving you what you

939
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: thought based on where you drafted him, but that's more

940
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: on you than it is on Lamar. Uh, So I'm

941
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna say just slightly more than eighteen fantasy points for him.

942
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: All right, So go to the Ravens backfield, which has

943
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: been kind of a headache for most of us most

944
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: of the year. If you were going to pick one

945
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: guy to have the bigger day out of that triumvirate

946
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: of say Dobbins, Edwards and Ingram Who would it be?

947
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: My dogs are confused to They're like, I'm confused by

948
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: the snackfield situation as well, That's why they're barking. It's

949
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: always a toss up, I think for me, between JK.

950
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: Dobbins and Gus Edwards, I think Mark Ingram has completely

951
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: kind of faded from from fantasy relevance this season. Stole

952
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: an incredible fantasy running back, but just not from my squad.

953
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: If I had to try to pinpoint which guy's going

954
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 1: to ball out, I think it's kind of a coin flip.

955
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna rock with j K. Dobbins on this one.

956
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: He's coming off almost seventy five rushing yards and a

957
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown against the Cowboys in Week thirteen, So why

958
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: not chalking up to Dobbins. So I'm gonna go be

959
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards route. I'm gonna jump on the Gusts bus

960
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: because I feel like he's been very effective when he

961
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,919
Speaker 1: gets the ball. Maybe not getting as many touches as

962
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: j K Dobbins lately, but it seems like he is

963
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: quick to break a big run when he does have

964
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: the chance, and I to feel like if Gus Edwards

965
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: were on any number of other teams, he would probably

966
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: get more opportunity than he does in this crowded backfield,

967
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: so that that's sort of unfortunate for him. But I

968
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,720
Speaker 1: do think there's a situation where he he does perform

969
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: well tonight. But I also think it stands to your

970
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: point that neither one of us is taking mark ingram,

971
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: So that suggests that that maybe he is the third

972
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: wheel in that backfield for for Baltimore. So the the

973
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: situation in Cleveland's not quite as confusing. We know it's

974
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: either Nick Chubb or Kareem Hunt. Which one of those

975
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: two guys, though, do you think is gonna have the

976
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: bigger day? Again, it's kind of a coin flip, But

977
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: I like Nick Chubb in this game against the Ravens.

978
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: I think both of these guys have an opportunity to

979
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: put up some fantasy points. They're both incredible running backs.

980
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: You know that when both of them are in the lineup,

981
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: they actually play even better than they do when they're

982
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: just writing solo. Like you see a hundred plus grimmage

983
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: yards in six of the last seven games. For Nick Chubb,

984
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: I think he has a massive opportunity tonight against the Ravens,

985
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: and they're really good to need to run the ball

986
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: and use the ground if they want to stay relevant

987
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: and try to win this football games. A Nick Chubb

988
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: for me, I'm going to Chubb also because I think

989
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: both of these teams are going to want to run

990
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: the football, like I know. Look, I think we're gonna

991
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: see Lamar throw it. We're gonna see Baker throw it,

992
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 1: but not maybe as much as they would in other situations. Plus,

993
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb has been just a monster in terms of touches,

994
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: six straight games with ninety or more touches. Obviously, he

995
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: missed some time in the middle of the season with

996
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: an injury, but when he's been on the field, he's

997
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: getting the ball in his hands a lot. And the

998
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: Ravens for the last month or so have been just

999
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: sort of middle of the road when it comes to

1000
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: stopping fantasy running back. So I do think that Nick

1001
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: Chubb is probably set up for a little bit of

1002
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: a bigger game tonight. All right, last thing here, let's

1003
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: go back to the higher lower bit right eleven points

1004
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: for Jarvis Landry higher or lower Cynthia Freeland hat back

1005
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: on boom. I am going to say lower for Jarvis Landry.

1006
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: I know that he's been bawling out as of late,

1007
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: back to back games which twinty plus fantasy points and

1008
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: receiving touchdown, but the matchup is a little bit tougher

1009
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 1: rearly against the Baltimore Ravens. Love Jarvis Landry is so

1010
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,439
Speaker 1: happy that he's been balling out, but I do think

1011
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be lower. I think it's gonna be lower

1012
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: as well. I would put him around maybe nine points

1013
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: or so, again because I think both these teams are

1014
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: going a round the football, so there's not gonna be

1015
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: quite as many opportunities for Landry to catch passes. The

1016
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: fact that it's PPR will kind of get him I

1017
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: think closer to that nine, but I don't expect a

1018
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: lot of yards, and uh, you know, if he gets

1019
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown, I think you look at that as a bonus,

1020
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: and uh, that's pretty much that that. So it should

1021
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: be fun though, should be a really interesting game. Definitely

1022
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: one you should be tuned in for. And again, if

1023
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: you can't do it, get the NFL Fantasy yet, watch

1024
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: it on your phone wherever you might be that's not

1025
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: necessarily near a television set, so there it is. How

1026
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: are you doing in your fantasy playoffs? Kimmy? Are you?

1027
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: Will you survive? In advance? We don't need to talk

1028
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: about it. It's like we can. It's okay. We don't

1029
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: need to talk about it at all. I think I

1030
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: need like forty five fantasy points tonight, uh from the

1031
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: kicker for the Browns. So yeah, things things are going

1032
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: really well for me. It could be better. It could

1033
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: be better. Yeah, I haven't even It's funny because I

1034
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: haven't even checked all of my matchups yet. Next year, right,

1035
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: I haven't checked all of my matchups yet. I feel

1036
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 1: like it's probably gonna be kind of a mixed bag.

1037
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: I'll kind of sort that out by the time the

1038
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: night is over. We'll figure it out in the meantime.

1039
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: For us. That is it. We are done. We appreciate
