What fantasy disappointments were there? And 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: can you trust some of these guys? Has your fantasy 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: playoffs continue? We'll tell you what we learned, have an 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: early look at the waiver wire and Adam went for 9 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: the special award winning edition of That Helps No One, 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: which includes a play anybody who ever owned Brian Westbrook 11 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: of Maurice Jones Drew in the past will seem all 12 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: too familiar for all that. More coming up now, I 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: want to watch die Hard Dumb, the Dumb Delightful, which 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: is not a Christmas absolutely as a Christmas and it's 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: not a Christmas okay, Diehard is. It's a movie that 16 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: occurred during Christmas, makes it a Christmas movie not a 17 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: Christmas movie. We're gonna dive into the fallout from Week 18 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: fourteen in the NFL our first headlines involved two of 19 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: the biggest stars in the game. Adrian Peterson sprained foot. 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: He says, it doesn't look like it's going to keep 21 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: him out for the rest of the season. FABS. But 22 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: now this is the time when running backs get dinged 23 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: up and you have to always handcuff your top stars. 24 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: Hopefully you already did that with Toby Gerhardt. If you didn't, 25 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: Gerhardt could be the top pick up off the waiver 26 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: wire heading in a week fifteen. Now, you remember Gerhart 27 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: filled in for Peterson for a few games a couple 28 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: of years ago, and he was lights out. He was 29 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: very admirable in what he did on the football field. 30 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: This is a very good replacement. You can't replace Adrian Peterson, 31 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,559 Speaker 1: but Gerhard is a nice second option. Ian Rap report 32 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: reporting Patriots tight end Rob Bronkowski will miss the remainder 33 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: of the season with a torn a c L and 34 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: m c L. These are injuries that could significantly impact 35 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: his playing time for remember, Gronkowski not the quickest healer 36 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: in the world, FABS. Rob Gronkowski is out, So what 37 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: does this mean for Tom Brady rest of the way. 38 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: It's a shame. Gronkowski such a good player and he 39 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: just can't keep himself healthy. Of course, this was sort 40 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: of a flukete play here with the name, but Tom 41 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: Brady without Rob Gronkowski. If we look at the first 42 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: six games of the season, you see the numbers. He 43 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: has averaged fewer than fourteen fantasy points a game without 44 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: grind almost eighteen and a half with it. Now. With 45 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: that being said, he also didn't have Shane Green at 46 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: the beginning this season, so Gronkowski's loss is still going 47 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: to be felt. It's still gonna make an impact. But 48 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: at least Brady has verin to go to now, so 49 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it could be as inconsistent as he 50 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: was earlier this years. It's still starting him going forward. 51 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: If the matchup is right, I am definitely starting, and 52 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: it's a tough matchup. Well maybe not. My best wishes 53 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: to Rob Gronkowski as he gets back on the field 54 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: as soon as possible Fantasy wise, though, FABS people are 55 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: gonna want to know if I don't have Rob Gronkowski, 56 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: do I go out and get Dennis pit up? You 57 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: absolutely do. We talked about it at the NFL Fantasy 58 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: Live to pick him up and stash him. We'll guess what. 59 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: Now is the time to unleash him and Joe Flacco 60 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: loves this guy. Flacco has completed seventy five of his 61 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: attempts to pit up in the red zone over the 62 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: last two years, only forty four point six percent to 63 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: the other players on the Ravens roster, and that includes 64 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: the post season pick up Dennis Pitta. He is now 65 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: going to be a top ten fantasy tight end. I 66 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: can't believe how well he played yesterday, coming back in 67 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: his first game of We'll have more on Sunday's injury 68 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: report and all our fantasy reactions in a few minutes, 69 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: but first let's start over to rank and och bar 70 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: from the Monday Night till between Dallas and Chicago. Thank you, Jason. 71 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football takes us to the second city, where 72 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears will take on the Dallas Cowboys. What 73 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: do we got in this game? Now? If you look 74 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks, the Dallas Cowboys have 75 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: been very good at running the football, almost to the 76 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: detriment of Tony Romo. But can you trust him tonight? Well, 77 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to trust Tony Romo when you look 78 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: at this matchup. This is a really good matchup for 79 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: especially quarterback owners of excuse me fantasy owners of Tony Romo, 80 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna he's coming out of a little slip right now. 81 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: They've been running the ball well, like you said, and 82 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: Tony Roman last three weeks been averaging under two hundred 83 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: yards per game, and that's been a little hurtful for 84 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: fantasy owners a little bit. This is the game where 85 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: you trust and here's why, because this secondary for the 86 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. They are a week and I think the 87 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: game plan here is going to be target Des Brian. 88 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: When you look at the last couple of games there, 89 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: he's targeted Brian twenty five times in the past two weeks, 90 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: so he should be very dominant, which will help bulster 91 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: up Tony Romo's number. He's a for sure quarterback number 92 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: one you play. And it's important to not that Romo 93 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: has been playing some of his best football, but it's 94 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: this guy DeMarco Murray who's just been absolutely killing it. 95 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: What do you see tonight, Well, this is gonna be 96 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: a big game for DeMarco Murray as well. He's gonna 97 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: put up very good numbers. And the reason why is 98 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: that Chicago Bears defense has really just falling apart. This 99 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: is no longer the old school Chicago Bears defense that 100 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: you've been accustomed to, or even the Lovely Smith defense 101 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: that you've been accustomed to. When you look at this 102 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: defense that they are breaking down on the interior, they've 103 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,679 Speaker 1: been decimated by injuries, they've been decimated really by old 104 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: age as well. So this is a prime game for 105 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray to let loose. We're talking about tight ends 106 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, and Jason Witten seems to be 107 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: a guy who flies under the radar, but he seems 108 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: to be one of the most consistent tight ends out there. 109 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: What do you see again tonight, Well, he'll continue to 110 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: be consistent because when you look at opposite Dez Bryant, 111 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: we had Terence william pop up early in the season. 112 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: Everybody was Google Gaga for Terence Williams, and now all 113 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's kind of falling off. He's gone 114 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: up and down. But the most consistent person has been 115 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: Jason Witten. And so because there is not that second guy, 116 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: he is the number two wide receiver outside of Dez Bryant. 117 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: So Tony Roman will look for him to take advantage 118 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: of the matchup, especially against that linebacker and safety corps 119 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: that has given up the most tight ends in the league. 120 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: It's Terence Williams playing so well. Did that help Jason Witten? Now, well, 121 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: it took a lot of attention off of them. But 122 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, teams are gonna have to 123 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,559 Speaker 1: try to rally around and try to stop. Of course, 124 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: here are projections and again those Tony Roman numbers are 125 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: it's because they run the ball so well and that 126 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: Bears defense, as you said, is very banged up. So 127 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: if you're looking at these two quarterbacks, Tony Roman looks 128 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: like a good play. Some might say that Josh McCown 129 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: is the better play. What say you, Well, you know, 130 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: Josh McCown has been playing, I mean just phenomenal. We 131 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: have to give him credit the way he's carried since 132 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: Jay Cutler has been absent. But because their defense is 133 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: so bad, they're gonna have to pass the ball a lot, 134 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: and that puts Josh mccount in a very good situation 135 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: because he's got two wide receivers he can depend on. 136 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: But when you look at the way they're gonna have 137 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: to stay in this game, it's not gonna be just 138 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: pounding the ground necessarily. They're gonna have to go vertical, 139 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: because remember, Dallas is gonna exploit this deepen both in 140 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: the secondary group and in the intermediate routes well as well. 141 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: So Josh mccount a very good play that you can 142 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: count on. Brandon Marshall, of course, is a receiver that 143 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna play each and every week. But what about 144 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: Alshon Jeffrey? Is he now jumped into that must start category? 145 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: He is Alshon Jeffrey has arrived. He's here, He's not 146 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: going anywhere, And the fact that he has Brandon Marshall 147 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: opposite him makes it that much better because teams are 148 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: now confused. How do you stop this? How do you 149 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: stop these two vertical threat When you can get alshan 150 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: or or um or Marshall or Marshall going over the top, 151 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: that really helps his fantasy value. You look at Dallas 152 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys right now, the Cowboys are nearly three yards per 153 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: game through the air. So all of a sudden, now 154 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: he's a he's a good option for you. Okay, let's 155 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: say they put Brandon car Marshall, they double TEENA would 156 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: that mean a lot of fantasy points for martellis Bennett absolutely, 157 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: because Martell has been it is gonna go under the radar, 158 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: and sometimes teams they think a little bit too much 159 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: defense are gonna try to start just putting the zoo 160 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: defense to try to stop the outside guys, have those 161 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: safeties roll over the top to help out their cornerbacks, 162 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, in the middle of 163 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: the field cover two defense, You're gonna see that middle 164 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: of the field open right up. For Martell has been it. 165 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: He's gonna be primed in that situation to be successful. Okay, 166 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: let's take a look now what we have projected for 167 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. We both see see I have more 168 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: points for Josh McCown, but it's close that fortem We 169 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: both see a big game out of him. Same thing 170 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: with al Sean, Jeffrey, Brandon Marshall. Good games all around. 171 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: Although I think who needs a big game for Brandon Marshall, 172 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: Oh boy, everybody needs a big game? You don't you 173 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: need a huge game because I'll give you, however, moment 174 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: many points you think that it's Michael Fabiano who's gonna 175 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: who has Brandon market and we'll scoop you. We'll say 176 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: that Brandon Marshall gets twenty the Okay, that's cool. And 177 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: remember it's gonna be very cool. But as you heard 178 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame or say just a moment ago, 179 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: don't forget, don't worry about the cold. These guys sot 180 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: out and sling the rock. And remember to check out 181 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live again tonight at one a m. Eastern 182 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: on NFL Network is re recap the action from the 183 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: night's game with all our fantasy inside and advice. With that, Jason, 184 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: I'll throw it back to you, all right, thank you 185 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: very much. Must to write. They make a big deal 186 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: that McLean is flying out for it doesn't It's like 187 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: a Christmas story or a Christmas carol or Deck the Halls. 188 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: Those are Christmas movies. All right. Let's take a look 189 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: at Sunday's notable injuries. Wes Welker. We're gonna talk about 190 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: him here for a couple of seconds. A concussion suffered 191 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: in the win over the Tennessee Titans. Gonna be hard 192 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: for him to get cleared fabs to play on Thursday's 193 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: gonna have to look someplace else. Yeah, there's no doubt 194 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: about that. You maybe pick up a guy like a 195 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: Cordarrel Patterson who's been very hot, but West Welker unfortunately 196 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: has severed a couple of concussions over the last several weeks, 197 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: and with that short week, you're gonna have to go without. 198 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: And that means more targets for Damarious Thomas, more targets 199 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 1: for Eric Decker, maybe even Jacob Tammy gets into mix 200 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: as well. You've seen Peyton without Welker was really going 201 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: to his tight end. More has op posted his wide 202 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: receivers without Welcer in the middle of the field. So 203 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: you're starting Julius Thomas all right. The Lions set the 204 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: Twitter verse a blaze on a snowy day in Philadelphia 205 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: Sunday when running back Reggie Bush aggregated hi calf injury 206 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: in pregame warmups. Was a last minute scratch from the lineup. 207 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: Proof that you have to keep up with the news 208 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: all the way to kickoff. As fans learned the hard way. 209 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: We found out in the last ten minutes of our 210 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: show Sunday was Hey, Reggie Bush, it does look like 211 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna play. Slammed his helmet down. It was a 212 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: very big deal on Sunday, it was, and we were 213 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: all on our cell phones, all going on to our 214 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: mobile apps trying to figure out if joint bell is 215 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: actually available in any leagues, and he wasn't available in 216 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: most leagues. But this is why you have to pay 217 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: attention right up to kick Usually there's a couple of 218 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: times a year where you get a freak injury, something 219 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: happens right before kickoff and a guy is ruled and 220 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: actively go. I didn't know that at all. It's happened 221 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 1: with I remember Marshawn Lyncha happened with with Willis mcgahey 222 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. It happened. I'm my Branshaw. 223 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: It happened, and Brandon Jacobs had a big game. It 224 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: happens a couple of times now. It's not all bad 225 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: news for fantasy owners. The nfls on a single day 226 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: record with nine d touchdowns scored on Sunday, the most 227 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: in one day in NFL history, breaking the previous record 228 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: of seven. I think Gino Smith at half of them. 229 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: I can't believe Gino Smith had such a good game. 230 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: But that's neither here nor there. And again further proof 231 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: weather not that big of a factor. How many games 232 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: do we have yesterday in snow and cold? What was it? 233 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: Five games at least, and we had a single day 234 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: record for touchdowns. Scotty Hansen was really busy yesterday on 235 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: the Red Zone channel. That poor guy. He probably didn't 236 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: get a break for about eight hours. How much of 237 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: a requisi in the first half because I had Nick 238 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: Foles who had negative Fantasy points at halftime? What did 239 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: I say? Anytime there's snow and you have to just 240 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: stop fantasy matchjumps? Clearly that was in the case. I 241 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: had Nick Foles in my league record too. He ended 242 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: up being pretty good. He did, and thanks a lot 243 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: Brent Sella, I could have been four points more. Now. 244 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: Sometimes in fantasy a few minutes can be the difference 245 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: between a win and a loss. It's like having a 246 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: great zombie free day when suddenly the fence that's keeping 247 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: them out gets pulled out and you get overrun. Such 248 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: was the blitz some fantasy points we saw in one 249 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: hour of time on Sunday. Tannehill gets rid of that 250 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: catches made by Clay Clay. How did he do it? 251 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: Tothy care Huck, it can't be Try talks to Kings 252 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: where Geryl Patterson has it and the rookie with I 253 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: need to believe this touch down Kings back on defense, 254 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: TENZ and Cat's great playing ready talks not enough, It's 255 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: over and the Patriots have done it again. The sure 256 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: great move to Jabaal, Charles rolling out, bake and girls 257 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: to stop. Get to MCCOYO. It is NFL Fantasy Live. 258 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: Some of your top scores from Sunday. Here are the 259 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: top ten overall. The Shawn McCoy leading the way with 260 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: over thirty four Fantasy points, Andrew Luck right there, a 261 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: steak through my heart after I sat him for Ryan Fitzpatrick. 262 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: Drew Brees had a huge game Sunday night. Marcus Colston 263 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: the recipient of plenty of those passes. Now, remember when 264 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: you're watching the games on Thursday, Sunday or Monday, tweet 265 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: us at NFL Fantasy when you see a big performance. 266 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: Use the hashtag kaboom. As we tracked the guys whose 267 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: fantasy production exploded on the field see kaboom. So let's 268 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: start things off with le Shawn McCoy in the in 269 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: the snow on Sunday. Every time they get in the 270 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: ball in the second half, you thought he's going all 271 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: the way. Yeah, well that's because I mean the way 272 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: he took advantage of the defense. These this defense seemed 273 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: like they were a little paralyzed by the snow. But 274 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 1: it was a monstrous performance for Lashawn McCoy and the 275 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: way he was able to hit that was just you know, 276 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: not letting the element get to you. Players train all 277 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: the time, you know, when they come into adverse situation. 278 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: You know there's gonna be a situation like this, you 279 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 1: have to train to bring for the element, and he 280 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: clearly took advantage of that just destroying this defense, and 281 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: he read could have found a way to shut him 282 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: down on something. All right, Rank Andrew Luck, this is 283 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: too painful for me to talk about this big go, 284 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: but realize you're not alone. A lot of people when 285 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: you looked at the matchups, you know, it was one 286 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: of those things where the number said, you know what, 287 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: this was probably gonna be a good ship for Andrew 288 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 1: Luck when he came out and had his great performance, 289 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 1: and you know what, he's a number one draft pick, 290 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: and you know what, he has that talent and it's 291 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: not surprising that he can come out and have a 292 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: huge game. But can you trust him because he's been 293 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: way too inconsistent over the entire season that you make 294 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: decisions that you make decisions to put in Ryan Fitzpatrick 295 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: because again the number said that you're gonna follow the 296 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: numbers like that, sometimes you're gonna get pro do you 297 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: like them going forward? I like the match up against Houston, 298 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: but it depends because I got him and I got 299 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: Tom Brady in the league, and it's difficult. I'm gonna 300 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to wait. And you know how I 301 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: love Tom. You know how I love Tom Brady too. 302 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: Let's move on the other side of the field. Andy 303 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: Luck had a big day on Sunday FABS and but 304 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: he's like this. He could be great and he could 305 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: be awful. Andy Dalton is like the poor man's version 306 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: of Alex Smith when it comes to Trina for what 307 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna do week to week. And Dalton had a 308 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: huge game against Indianapolis Colts, but he is so inconsistent 309 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: it is really hard to trust him on a week 310 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: to week basis. You can play the matchups with this 311 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: guy and cross your fingers. Andy Dalton has been all 312 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: or nothing, very very much, very much of the season. 313 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: Jason Campbell thirty Fantasy points against the Patriots. The one 314 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: thing that Browns do right because they throw the football 315 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: a lot. Certainly, it's almost the points that he's gonna 316 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: get with Josh Gordon is probably gonna be better than 317 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks for an entire day with all 318 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: of their receivers. But again, you're talking about the fantasy 319 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: playoffs right now. Do I feel comfortable going into a 320 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: game and starting Jason Campbell over a guy like Andrew 321 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: Luck or Andy Dalton. Well, you know what, most of 322 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: the time, I'm gonna go with the high the high, 323 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: high end guys. The name brands is like name brand? 324 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: Am I am? I Am? I a name brand guy? 325 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: You're You're definitely a name brand. That's what I do. 326 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: Let's move on to the wide receivers now. And Marcus 327 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: Colston had been invisible for much of the season, but 328 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: a huge night on Sunday nine catches, hundred twenty five 329 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns for Colston at Bar Suddenly, now 330 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: he's back in the mix of being a wide receiver 331 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: two for you, Yes, yes he is. And if you 332 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: were one of those fantasy owners that were risky enough 333 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: to play Marcus Colston, congratulations, because you've got twenty four points, 334 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: big time production out of Coaston and the way you 335 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: look at the dynamic of this offense. Of course, Jimmy 336 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: Graham has been guarding a lot of the attention and 337 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: if Coaston just kind of fell to the backside, especially 338 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: as Kinny still started to get a little bit momentum. 339 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: For Remember the type of talent you're dealing with, Marcus 340 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: Colston can go off at any given time. And now 341 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: you look, he's got to St. Louis Cardinals and he's 342 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: got the Carolina Panthers. I think he's an excellent play 343 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs defense. Back from the Abyss fans, we said, oh, 344 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: you can't start the Chief's defense anymore. Now you can 345 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: start the Chiefs defense. And we said you could start 346 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: the Chief's defense this week against Washington and what turned 347 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: out to be a snow game, and they were just 348 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: phenomenal special teams defense all over the place. You gotta 349 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: like him this week against the Oakland Raiders. Hopefully you 350 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: didn't drop them when they became very, very inconsistent and 351 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: not productive, because they've got some good matchups coming up. 352 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: Take a look at our Sunday Top performers eleven through twenties. 353 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: Some players we're gonna get to later on in the 354 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: show and tell you if you can trust guys like 355 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: Marcel Rees or Diric rod Derreck Rodgers, Ryan Tannehill Guardorell 356 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: Patterson going forward.

There's been a few, but still too few 371 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: to mention. May maybe we should mention a few click 372 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: if Antonio Crown didn't have a shoe on. He could 373 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: have stayed in bounds and didn't want to slide, and 374 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: he turned into snow. We would have had another touchdown. See, 375 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of disappoint Okay, fine, I stand corrected. 376 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: That's happy. Now. Some of the big ones whom Sunday 377 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: t Y Hilton points seven fantasy points in the game 378 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: where Andrew Luck went for over three and four touchdowns, 379 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: Alfred Morris, Fred Jackson, C J. Spiller, Calvin Johnson, and 380 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: the snow Russell Wilson just over ten fantasy points. Guys 381 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: out there you were counting on. Let's talk about Calvin 382 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: Johnson here for a second, fast because is this easy 383 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: to throw it out and say, well it was the snow. 384 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford a difficulty and Calvin Johnson couldn't see. Callvin 385 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: Johnson was like a snowball. You know, I don't trust 386 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson anymore. I wouldn't start him in any fantasy 387 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: and he's going forward. I know what's your blaffs. Of 388 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: course you trust Calvin Johnson. He's the best wide receiver 389 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: and fantasy football this side of Josh Gordon. The snow 390 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: probably had a lot to do with the fact I mean, 391 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: I can't even see Calvin Johnson there, and how could 392 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: he see the football? Although Matthew Stafford struggled, Calvin Johnson struggled. 393 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: The only Detroit Lion that really had a good game 394 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: was droyke Bell. It's Calvin Johnson. Guys. How about Alfred 395 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: Morris brand I know, I'm I'm sick to my stomach 396 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: for Freddy Morris with everything that's going on in Washington, 397 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: He's the one I feel that the worst about because 398 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: he's such a good guy. But you know what, you 399 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: look at the matchup. Tough game against the Kansas City Chiefs, 400 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: you know that kind of stuff happens. But he's got 401 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons coming up this week now, going into 402 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: this week's games, the Falcons that give up the second 403 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: most points of fantasy running back. So I still like 404 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: the matchup. I know there's a lot going on there 405 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: in our nation's capital, but you know what, Freddie Morris 406 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: is the one guy I can believe it, Yes, the 407 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: bigger lixer. The Atlanta Falcons defense. Mike Wallace is someone 408 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: we've told told you about him all week. It's difficult 409 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: to trust him, and Sunday showed you exactly why in 410 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: a game where it was a situation he's playing against 411 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: his old team, he's motivated. I'm a star player to 412 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: catch his nineteen yards a season low five targets. While 413 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: someone you just can't trust him the rest of the way. 414 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: You can't trust him even when the matchup is very favorable. 415 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: Ike Taylor had been burned by the last two wide 416 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: receivers he faced this week. Not so much. How about 417 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: see what Hilton. We talked about him a couple number 418 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: Ken Phelps by the day, But anyways, t Y Hilton 419 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: is one of the bigger disappointments, and I think is 420 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: the season has started to go on, it's clear that 421 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: he's just not a number one receiver. The Colts still 422 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: need that number one guy to draw the majority of attention. 423 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: He's just one of those burner guys that will have 424 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: some great games. You know. He came out and he 425 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: towards the Seattle Seahawks earlier this season, and there's gonna 426 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: be some great matchups for him, But when he becomes 427 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: the focal point of the passing game, he's just not 428 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: a guy that you can count on fantasy wise, and 429 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: he saw any luck with so many different directions t 430 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: why Hilton was not one of them? How can you 431 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: trust to why Helton? How could you Hilton? Like about 432 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: Spiller and frend Jackson against teda bay fabs. You want 433 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: to talk about a player you can't trust, that's C. J. Spiller, 434 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: and I know you've benched him for Bobby Rainy. Kudos 435 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: to you in Week fourteen. He is a matchup based starter. 436 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: He did not have a good matchup. Now, he did 437 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: have this long touchdown and run called back by a penalty, 438 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: much to the disagreeing of a lot of fantasy owners 439 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: out there. But he has been bad more often than 440 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: he's been good this year. He has a better matchup 441 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: coming up against Jacksonville. I still don't see him as 442 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: more than a flex. The same goes for Freddy Jackson. 443 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: I like Jackson more than I like Spiller, at least 444 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: during the course of this season. Right, So there's your 445 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: fantasy disappointments now coming up. Which players saw the most 446 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: targets and touches in Week fourteen, and more importantly, how 447 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 1: that help your fantasy squad. But first we'll roll through 448 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,239 Speaker 1: an early look at the waiver wire and see if 449 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: the joints on you and these fantasy mean streeters see 450 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: it there for the second time as many days Main 451 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: Streeters ins NFL Fantasy Live.

Look, Hey, snow 465 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: was no big deal fans. The snow did not impede 466 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: most people's production unless your name was Matthew Stafford and 467 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: Matthew Staffords not having a good game. There's a good 468 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 1: chance Colvin Johnson is neither other than that. A lot 469 00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: of scoring in the white stuff. His first past the 470 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: game he tried to throw deep to Calvin Johnson was 471 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: ten yards under seven times in that game. Year there's 472 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: what Shawn McCoy. Look at. Jason Campbell up there, fans 473 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: number four. He's had a couple of good games over 474 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: the last five or six weeks. From the good to 475 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: the bed. The big disappointments t Y Hilton, the Panthers 476 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: defense just one fantasy point. Mike Wallace is tough to trust. 477 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: C J. Spiller and Fred Jackson. But fans, we told 478 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: you don't start those Bills running backs. It was a 479 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: bad matchup. These guys are matchup based starters at this point, 480 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: especially c. J. Spiller, who you just can't trust when 481 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: the matchup is not favorable. If you need help, these 482 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: are guys, Michael Fabiano says, you can go out and 483 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: get Waiver Wire. Wire is gonna talk about a few 484 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: of them over the next few minutes. The surprising name 485 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: on here fans. A big day from Ryan Tannehill, who 486 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: would never even seen snow before. I didn't like to 487 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: match up either in Pittsburgh against the Steelers. Their past 488 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: defense has not been the best in the world, but 489 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: it's also not one of the worst. I was very surprised, 490 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: and Tannehill has started to play very well over his 491 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: last three or four games, scoring double digit fantasy points. 492 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: He's got the Patriots this week, and the Patriots defense 493 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: they just give up the any fantasy points to Jason Campbell. 494 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: So tan Hill maybe a fantasy sleeper, all right. How 495 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: about Joke Bell, He's owned in about more of NFL 496 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: dot com League. Well, Reggie Bush looks like he could 497 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: be okay for this week. It doesn't matter when Bush plays, 498 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: whether he doesn't. Joint Bell is still a part of 499 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: the office. Look at Joint Bell's numbers again over the 500 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: last three or four games, double digit fantasy points, even 501 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: with Reggie Bush in the game. And we stressed this 502 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: all the time, the importance of handcuffing your top running backs. 503 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: If you didn't have Joint Bell and Reggie Bush was 504 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: one of your starters yesterday, well there's a good chance 505 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: you were in trouble. Rod streeters average nine yards a 506 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: game the last four games, had a big touchdown on 507 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: Sunday against the Jets. Pats. He's turned out to be 508 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: the number one guy at open Hey, Matt mcloyn has 509 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: a guy. He's got a guy, and this guy is 510 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: Rod Streeter. We talked about him yesterday on the show 511 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: as a big time sleeper against the New York Jets, 512 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: and boy did he produced great numbers. This kid needs 513 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: to be owned in all leagues, especially PPR leagues. He's 514 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: becoming a three Jason and a lot of these formats 515 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: all right now. Cordarrel Patterson is pretty interesting because he's 516 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: a guy that got drafted or you're the season, is 517 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: supposed to make a big impact for the Vikings. They've 518 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: had trouble at quarterback. Now it looks like there's kind 519 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: of getting it together in Patterson. The best part about him, 520 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,479 Speaker 1: if you squint, it looks like Randy Moss with long hair. 521 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: Really really talented kid. And this is the guy who's 522 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: going to be a sleeper next year. I guarantee you that. 523 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: Right now, the Vikings are out of the playoffs, they 524 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: are trying to get their young players some work, and 525 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: cor Darryl Patterson is one of their best young players 526 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: on that offense, maybe the best young player in that offense. 527 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: A rookie out of Tennessee, a kid who's got major upside. 528 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: And this is the time of the year when these 529 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: young kids, when the when the teams are out of 530 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: postseason contention, they get more reps, they get more snaps, 531 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: they get more targets, and that's been the case with 532 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: Patterson over the last several week. Can you trust them 533 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: in your lineup this week? It all depends on the matchup. 534 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: It all depends on the matchups. But if you're in 535 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: a deeper league, in a PPR league as a three, 536 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: I think he's got to be. In the conversation see squint, 537 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: you can almost look like Brandy Moss. All right, Ryan Tannhill, 538 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: we talked about him here feb Where would you have 539 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: him as far as who you could play him over 540 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: for this week? That's a very good question. I don't 541 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: know that he's a top swell fantasy quarterback, but remember 542 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 1: there are people out there who don't have Aaron Rodgers 543 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: who have really been dealing with Andrew Luck's inconsistencies. And 544 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: this is a very good match up against the against 545 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots nine times on ten. Jason, you 546 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: know you're sticking with your studs, especially in Week fifteen. 547 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: To the fantasy season. But if you don't have an 548 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: elite quarterback or you know, have a quarterback that you 549 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: can trust, Tannehill against the Patriots makes all the sense 550 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: in the world. Yeah, his fantasy points have gone up 551 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: the last four weeks. And this is that way the 552 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: Dolphins run their offense and they're gonna throw the football 553 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: a ton because they can't trust their running game, especially 554 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: now Lamar Miller being banged up the way they are 555 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: and Tannehill, hey, he's got that rapport going sometimes with 556 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: Mike Wallace, but with Brian Hartline and Charles Clay. Who 557 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: knew Charles Clay beating guys deep? Charles has been very good. Now, 558 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: be sure to catch NFL Fantasy Live again throughout the 559 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: week here on NFL Network Wednesday. FABS has his big 560 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: Starts and six recommendations you need to know. But for now, 561 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: let's strow it over to rank In ok Bar for 562 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: more on Sunday's big Newsmakers. Thank you very much, Jason. 563 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: A lot of amazing performances this weekend, but also a 564 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: lot of injuries. And I know, ack Bar, it's hard 565 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: to say it. With your fantasy team. You you took 566 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: probably the biggest brunt of that. Oh boy ahead Wells 567 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: Wolker out had Adrian Peterson go down. Reggie Bush. That 568 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: was a hard one. I mean, to have that many injuries, 569 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: it was hard to overcome. As we look at Sunday's 570 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: notable injuries, this is Akbar's team. Basically everybody. Everybody got 571 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: ther braybody, Adrian Peterson of course with the foot injury. 572 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: The guys that you've already mentioned, Havon Austin also went down, 573 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: Lamar Miller, Michael Floyd, John Stewart, Willis mcgahey, Carlson. But 574 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: the big one that hurts both fantasy and reality Rob Bronkowski. 575 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: And take a look right here Tom Brady's numbers with 576 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: and without Rob Bronkowski. As you can see, playing with Bronkowski, 577 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: it just opens up the offense. How big is that? Well, 578 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: this is huge for you know, for the New England Patriots. 579 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: But I do believe that when you look at Tom 580 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: Brady Hill continue to have success. You know, Remember, the 581 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: one thing this board doesn't show is that this is 582 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: early for Rock excuse me, for Tom Brady. Tom Brady 583 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: had a lot of young guys that now later into 584 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: the season, so you'll see him start to be a 585 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: lot were mature in this offense. Shane Verena, of course, 586 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: is somebody who's just come on in recent weeks. But 587 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: when fantasy owners start looking for a tighten, what do 588 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: you think about Timothy Right? You know, Timothy Right, he 589 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: doesn't have a really good matchup going up against the 590 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty niners coming up. But this is a 591 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: guy that you might want to just kind of keep 592 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: your eyebrow on just it's justin there's another injury that 593 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: goes out there. But when you look at the fact 594 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: that you know he has gotten a little bit of 595 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: chemistry going with Glennon, but this this week coming up, 596 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: not a very good matchup. Yeah, you see that touchdown, 597 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: You see somebody who's getting in the end zone. You 598 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 1: might want to rush out and grab them. But you're saying, 599 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: pump the brakes, and we all do that. Let's take 600 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: a look now at performers eleven through twenty. We throw it. 601 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: We showed you one through ten already. Here is eleven 602 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: through twenty lead right there by Ryan Tannehill, who some 603 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: might have thought he would be a fish out of 604 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: water playing there in Pittsburgh in the snow. But you'd 605 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: be wrong because a Dolphins are actually mammals. Actually, Marcel 606 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: Reese was able to step up, and we've seen this 607 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: from him before. Is he good fit going forward? Absolutely? 608 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: He is a big body running back that you can 609 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: depend on. A hundred and sixty one scrimmage yards, a 610 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three of those were actually rush yards. 611 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: And when you think about the fact that you know 612 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: he's a guy that you can depend on, he's a 613 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: healthy guy. He hasn't you think back to what he 614 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: did last season. Last season when he got an opportunity 615 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: to go out there and play, he's shine and he's 616 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: doing the same thing. He's picking off where from picking 617 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: up from where he left off last season. I say 618 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: you trust Marcel res going forward in as far as 619 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: a fantasy running back. And he's so athletic too. People 620 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: don't realize that he can play so many different positions. 621 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: Now you dashed my hopes and dreams on Timmy Right, Okay, 622 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: what about Chuck Clay. It's a good guy to pick up. 623 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: This is a guy that I really love. When you 624 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: look at Charles Clay and his numbers, his numbers they 625 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: don't lie. I mean when you look at this last performance. 626 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: Charles Clay to me, has not you look at his athleticism. 627 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: A former fullback out of Tulsa comes in, makes that 628 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: transition to tight end, you know, the same sort of 629 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: the same position, but he's got hands. He can run 630 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: those routes, and guys don't realize that. Tanny Hill, he's 631 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: constantly trying to find Charles Clay. Wherever he's on the 632 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: he's looking for him. So that's the guy that you 633 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: can sneakily play if you've lost rob Well, you've lost Robin, 634 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: you've already lost him. But let's stick in this game 635 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: right here, because Ben Roethlisberger came out and had another 636 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: fine day. But he doesn't seem to be a guy 637 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: that we as fantasy enthusiasts talk enough about. But should 638 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: he be somebody you consider for the playoffs? Yeah, he 639 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: doesn't get a lot of love. People hate Ben Roethlisbergers. 640 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: I don't know why they always say, oh, he's a 641 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: good quarterback in reality, but not in fantasy. Well, you 642 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: may be troubled with your quarterback situation and you're looking 643 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: to have somebody to play Ben Roethlisbergers that got eleven 644 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: touchdowns in the last couple of weeks here in the 645 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: last four games. That's impressive for and no interception there. 646 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: We talked about Nick Foles earlier prior to this interception 647 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: no interception. Well, he's doing going out there doing the 648 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: same thing. Big Big Ben is playing good football right 649 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: now and he's holding onto the football. And perhaps let's 650 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: say you've got Philip Rivers. Now, he's gonna be playing 651 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: Thursday night. The game is expected to be really cold 652 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: there in Denver. Now we've talked about being able to 653 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: trust quarterbacks in the cold. What do you think about 654 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers in that game? You know, I like Philip Rivers. 655 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: I think he can respond to it. He's been an 656 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: f C West guy all this his entire career, so 657 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: he's been he's played in the cold weather games. He 658 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: can perform in Denver. I say, you hold on to 659 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and you trust him moving forward. Probably more 660 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: interesting though, will be Keenan Allen. He's a guy who's 661 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: he's a cow guy, but he's been playing so yeah. 662 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: You know, I remember my first time playing in snow. 663 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: It was in Denver. It was a little bit, it 664 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: was a little bit shaky. So I think Keenan Allen 665 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: will have just though, as long as he wears a 666 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: Charger third halt and not a Raider's one. All right, 667 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: Still the come we have the most targeted receivers and 668 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: running backs of the week. You won't believe which running 669 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: back had seventeen targets on Sunday NFL Fantasy Live. He's 670 00:30:39,400 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: back after this. There's a lot they touchdown. Come back 671 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: to NFL Fantasy Live. Every week on NFL dot com, 672 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: I write a column called Targets and Touches. It spotlights 673 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: the past catchers will amass the most targets every week 674 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: and the running backs whose total touches that week merit attention. 675 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: Hopefully this helps you decide which players are worthy of 676 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: starting or picking up in free agency and which ones 677 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,239 Speaker 1: are just a passing fantacy. You can check it out 678 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: at NFL dot com slash targets. That's NFL dot com 679 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: slash targets. Shane Verene is a guy we've been telling 680 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: me about him for the last couple of weeks, the 681 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: one guy you can trust in fabs. Seventeen targets later, 682 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: you can really trust. How good was he especially in 683 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: the second half. It's like the Patriots were asleep in 684 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: the first half. They wake up in the second half 685 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: right in time to save a lot of people's fantasy week, 686 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: including my own. Shane Vereen has been fantastic right now. 687 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: You gotta look at him as a low end RV 688 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: one in PPR leagues and a rising RB two in 689 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: standard leagues and with a matchup coming up against the 690 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins this week, got bar boy. He isn't must start. Yeah, 691 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he's the reason why you actually put a 692 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: spanking on me. And I don't know that Angel Peterson 693 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: getting hurt, the fact that he's so verse until and 694 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: they love him in this in this offense, I don't 695 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: know that really is I mean, really's ever gonna be 696 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: a factor? Does anybody else? No, you can't, because Shane 697 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: Vereen is that good and that versatile. He is the 698 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: new age running back in the NFL. Take a look 699 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: at the top targeted players for Week fourteen. They're Chaine 700 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: Vereen running back second overall behind Andre Johnson, Garrey Graham 701 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: on this list, Marcus Colston, Eric Decker had a big day, 702 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: Marlon Brown, Jimmy Graham, Stevie Johnson, Dennis Pitt. Also at 703 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: eleven targets of peace. Let's start with the guy who's 704 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: just off this list, and that's Derek Rodgers. Facts Suddenly, 705 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck may have found this new guy or you 706 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: may be chasing fantasies for him. With Derek Rodgers and 707 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: very solid game, great numbers, no one benefited from them. 708 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,959 Speaker 1: And I don't trust Derrick Rodgers enough to pick him 709 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: up or play him. To me again, this is a 710 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: case of chasing the fantasy points. What if he has 711 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: another big game this week? Can you trust him as 712 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: Andrew Lux guy. No? No, because he's playing Kansas City 713 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: in Week six team I I do not. That is 714 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: chasing fantasy points. He could have back to back then games, 715 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,239 Speaker 1: but is mean he's worth you picking up. Let's move 716 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: on to Roddy White, who is second nice week in 717 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: row off part and it looks like he's getting back 718 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: to being the Roddy White we've known from No, no correction, 719 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: my friend, he is back. He is back because you 720 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: can tell the fact that Matt Ryan targeted him ten times. 721 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: That's the most of the on the team. And when 722 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: you see quarterbacks going to the course of their wide 723 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: receivers like that, there's a huge trust factor there. He 724 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: knows that Roddy White is gonna be able to exploit 725 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: those defenses, the defenses that he's matched up against. He's 726 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: a big body, wide receiver from here on out. Of course, 727 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: you can play Roddy White. Yeah, I like him as 728 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: a flex going forward a little bit. And PPR leagues 729 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: he's moved back to it too. Yeah, he's mine two, 730 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: all right. In the zero sum economy we have where 731 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: every week one tight end falls off the board entirely, 732 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: a new one comes to take his place. How about 733 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: Dennis pent Up Dennis Pitta to me, he looked back. 734 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: This is a great welcome back game for Dinnis Pitty. 735 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: He got out there, got an end zone. But again, 736 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: that's that big matchup body that it was very hard 737 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: for them to stop Dennis pitt up when he was going. 738 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: And when Joe Flackle sees him match up against one 739 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: of those linebackers or see him up in those safeties, 740 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: just like right here, it's just wide open in the 741 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: middle of the field. Dennis Pitt is gonna continue to 742 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: do that. On his run. I told people to pick 743 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: him up and stash him. I didn't trust him yesterday. 744 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: Clearly I was wrong. This is the guy to get 745 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: if you lost Rob Gronkowski. He's the top seven tight 746 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: in last year. So it's not like he's suddenly out 747 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,879 Speaker 1: of nowhere. He's had the pedigree. He's very good. He's 748 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: a somebody, not a nobody. He helped the Ravens win 749 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl that season. Let's not forget that, all right, 750 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 1: And these are guys who hopefully can help you win 751 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: your matchups this week and next in the fantasy playoffs. 752 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: But right now, how about some players who helped absolutely nobody? 753 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: For that is Adam rank specialty. Thank you very much, Jason. 754 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 1: That's right. Each week we'd take a look back at 755 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: those unheard of players who robbed precious fantasy points when 756 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 1: the guys we actually started on Sunday. It's a tear 757 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: jerker for some curtain Jerker's a segment we like to 758 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: call that helps no one. And let's go to the 759 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: video and Jacksonville, and I hope Neil Young will remember, 760 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: like all the way back to Thursday and look in 761 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: the red zone, it's a Sanders, Jorg Dounman that Jacksonville 762 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: Jackwarters have found their quarterback. It's a Sanders. That's the 763 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: best throw by a Jacksonville quarterback over the last three weeks. 764 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: But guess what hello on on Sorry I was a 765 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: little ahead on that one. But let's go to New Jersey. Chris, 766 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: I don't be all pounds in the game. Don't give 767 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: it to him. Wait, don't let Gino Smith run it 768 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 1: either that the Raiders defense. That that's the team I 769 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: wanted to start. It is the Raiders defense. Yeah, this 770 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: is what happens when you trust the Raiders defense. They 771 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: burned you. Geno Smith scoring when Gino Smith scores. So 772 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: let's go to Philadelphia. Lashawn McCoy having a monster day. 773 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: Fantasy enthusiast can't be that. Let Shawn go. Wait a minute, 774 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: Bryce brow No, no, not even Bryce Brold, the guy 775 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 1: that told you about the beginning of season it is. Yeah, 776 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: you told us about Chris Paul for Washington. Chris's James 777 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: Paul surpassed. But whatever, that's what because that hell, no one, 778 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: I'm losing it. Let's stay in Philadelphia. Isn't that cool? 779 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,479 Speaker 1: If Chris paulk would have just fallen on the field, 780 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: that's what you should do in that situation. It's just 781 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: falling up. Chris Paul not you need to get into 782 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: the end. So what in the name of Brian Westbrook 783 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: is he doing here? Not only does this, every every 784 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: football player have the inner child in him? And what's 785 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: the sliding the snow? And this is what we'll go 786 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: to bail in the off season, but this is the 787 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs. I almost can't go on here. But all right? 788 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: Is that Jordan? Now, I can't even know. I'll tell me. 789 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: I put so much faith into Matt Flynn. Could he 790 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: have gone to Jordy Nelson right there? Could he have 791 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: at least handed it off? See that's zero for zero 792 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: fantasy points. On let's go to New England. Josh Gordon time, 793 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: maybe Cameron Jordan. Here we go, there is Josh Gordon, 794 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: or at least Josh Gordon. Tuck somebody out. No it's 795 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: not it's Gary Barnage, by the way, And every isn't 796 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: be on this board already.

Let's take a look here now, 800 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: Jason Smith, I don't know if it would be too 801 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,280 Speaker 1: much to ask of you experts league next week, perhaps 802 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: starting Jano Smith, yes or no?

But any enough about that, 815 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: do you guys learned something here today that was fun? 816 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: I like what Britain Britain said, like, I endorse what 817 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: you did. That was great. A fantasy that potential touchdowns 818 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 1: at the one yard life and if the fantasy life keeps, 819 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: the Houston Oilers are on the fast track to the 820 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: super Bowl, but turmoil and dissension in the ranks ultimately 821 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: led to their demise. Houston ninety three of Football Life 822 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: What Kilbride Tomorrow n IPM Eastern only on NFL Network 823 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 1: every week. We all learn things in fantasy. Some lessons 824 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 1: like life, are more painful than others. For instance, never 825 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: walk into the locker room while Akbar is trying to 826 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 1: loosen up ranks back. There are some things you just 827 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 1: can't unsee, like what was that? What does that mean? 828 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: It was just very strange walking in singing I had 829 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: a bad him out, it was, but it was odd 830 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: to walk in and just see you've made it for 831 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: this show. Where to Fantasy? So that's what did you learn? Well? 832 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: I learned you know that even when a quarterback or 833 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: players are going into that cold weather with snowy conditions, 834 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: you can't overreact. We had some very good performances, especially 835 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, despite the fact that it was 836 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: very snowy yesterday. Nick Foles, Joe Flacco, Matt Castle, Ben Roethlisberger, 837 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. Okay, Matthew Stafford had a bad game, but 838 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 1: he was one of the few. This is a situation 839 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: here where people get too freaked out when it gets snowy. 840 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: When it gets cold, the wind and the rain are 841 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 1: more of an issue to me that snow is and 842 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,760 Speaker 1: we've seen that in the past. I mean, Tom already 843 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,320 Speaker 1: had six touchdown passes and driving snowstorm agains the Tennessee Titans. 844 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: So looking forward, we've got two more weeks in the 845 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: fantasy post season. In most leagues, if it's snowing, if 846 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: it's cold, don't we react. Speaking of disappointments, there were 847 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,240 Speaker 1: some of the snows we talked about. Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford, 848 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: Mike Wallace, Alfred Morris, Fred Jackson, Victor Cruz again lives 849 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,399 Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Disappointments list. T Y helping these guys, 850 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: you have to make sure you really don't have any 851 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: other better alternative if you're putting these guys in your lineup. 852 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: Tom Brady a big lesson was learned from Barbie and 853 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: on what was that? You know, never count out Tom Brady, 854 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: especially when he's down the way he was. When you 855 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: look at that first half, he had one After that 856 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: first half he had one point eight points. What you 857 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: can never count them out. You turn around and he 858 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: finishes up with twenty two fantasy points. Same thing in reality. 859 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: When Tom Brady is down, when his back is against 860 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: the Wall. He has the ability to manufacture plays and 861 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: to be able to get the points out there. I 862 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: just I was so hard on Tom Brady in the 863 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,840 Speaker 1: beginning of the year. Come in now late. He is seasoned, 864 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 1: he's ready, He's ready to be that quarterback. Now know 865 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski. Without Rob Gronkowski, he can he can adjust 866 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 1: to sudden changes. I say, you still trust Tom Brady. 867 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: Here's your top ten fantasy scorers from Sunday. Tom Brady 868 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: one of the best quarterbacks. But Andrew Luck was up 869 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: there on this list, of course, Peyton Manning. And there's 870 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 1: Jason Campbell over thirty fantasy points. Josh Gordon, He's become 871 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,800 Speaker 1: the best wide receiver in fantasy. What I learned on 872 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: Sunday was something we all learned about. Ten minutes before 873 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: early kickoff, stay up to the minute on injuries. Watch 874 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: our show Sunday morning. Check your lineups on NFL dot 875 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: com right before kickoff. That is Reggie Bush. He can't tell, 876 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,720 Speaker 1: but that's Reggie Bush who came out for warmups yesterday 877 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 1: and tweaked his calf, slammed his helmet down. The trainers 878 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: came out and looked at him. We got the big 879 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 1: bullding about ten minutes before kickoff and Reggie Bush didn't play. 880 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: It was a big join bell day. It was a 881 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,359 Speaker 1: big joint bell day, Alright. Reggie Bush is a guy 882 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: who we've we've had injury issues with him in the past, 883 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: so we've got a handcuff him with Mr Bell. Other 884 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: notable injuries Wes Welker's concussion. With the short week this week, 885 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: gonna be tremendously difficult for him to come back and play. 886 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 1: Lamar Miller also stuffer the concussion. Daniel Thomas getting the 887 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: bulk of the car a Sunday for the Midny Dolphins. Right, 888 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: what you learned this week, Well, as you're talking about injuries, 889 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 1: it's very important to note that you need to handcuff 890 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,240 Speaker 1: your running back if you have, let's say, for instance, 891 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson on your team. I don't like to have 892 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: Toby Gerhardt on my squad because he went to Northhoe 893 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 1: High School, and I don't care for people who went 894 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: to that high school except for you know, Mr Gapolo, 895 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: who is the assistant principal there. But I had I 896 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: had to pick him up because I have Adrian Peterson 897 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: in a number of leagues and I had to have 898 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 1: them there just in case a situation like this came up. 899 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,320 Speaker 1: Of course I couldn't play Toby Gerhardt during the middle 900 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: of the game, but going forward, if Adrian Peterson is 901 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,439 Speaker 1: unable to play, I'm gonna have to start Toby this week. 902 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,879 Speaker 1: And while I won't like it, and I will wear 903 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: my Corona Panthers T shirts while watching the games, I 904 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: will still get too much airtime on he does. Here's 905 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano's waiver wire Targets has some plenty of guys 906 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: who are out there and get look at Toby Gerhart 907 00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,359 Speaker 1: points seven percents. We talked about this in the news room. 908 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,800 Speaker 1: Yet you and I had a big argument about handcuffing 909 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: your running backs. How important it was going into the playoffs. 910 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,439 Speaker 1: I've done nating just about every league where I don't 911 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 1: have backfield debt. I've picked up Nile Davis because I 912 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 1: have Jamal Charles. If you had Adrian Peterson pick up 913 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,439 Speaker 1: Toby Gerhardt, you have to be smart because injuries happen 914 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: at the most inopportune times. Just ask people who had 915 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson recount of what we learned. Don't be scared 916 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: of the weather. Never count out Tom Brady stay up 917 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 1: to the minute on injuries. Don't forget a handcuff your 918 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 1: running backs.
