1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: Wow, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. It's me your Man, MG, Marcus

3
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Crann alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano and

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Viper Bram Barfield. And well, it was another

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: one of those just you know, bonkers. Look, that's why

6
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: they called us the No Figure League, right, just when

7
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: we think we've got it all set up, when we

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: have the the process rights, the results don't go the

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: way we want. There's always like two or three weeks

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: during the course of this season that goes sideways. This

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: one went sideways and then some Yeah, it was ridiculous.

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. I mean, when you talk about a

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: guy who scores four touchdowns and Marvin Jones being uh

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: started in thirty three of NFL dot Com League's when

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: you talk about Kyler Murray who started in far more,

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: who had one of the better matchups at quarterback, and

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: game script just took him completely out of the mix.

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: It was one of those very frustrating games. And speaking

19
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: of the Cardinals, Uh, David Johnson left many fantasy owners

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: in hell yesterday. Yeah, there's quite a few teams out

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: there that if you if you put up like eighty

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: five or ninety points this week, like you you might

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: have won. You probably are actually doing reasonably well. Because

24
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: there's so many between injuries and just disappointments, there's just

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: an extremely low scoring with yea, Cliff Kingsbury, we need

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: to have a talk. We just need to have a chat. Well,

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: well we'll get to that. We we just need that

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: it would have been nice for him to say before

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: the game what he said after the game. We need that.

30
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: David Johnson wasn't going man, that was that was kind

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: of We will wrap up week seven last week, I

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: was kind of on a queen thing last last night.

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,639
Speaker 1: As I was putting this together, I had the Beastie

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,919
Speaker 1: Boys in my head. So as we read week seven

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: round up, Well, we'll give you guys that are that

36
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: were we think are sure shots, maybe that should be

37
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: in your line up more regularly, guys who seemed to

38
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: be sabotage, and guys that you know you have to

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: fight for their right to be in your lineup because

40
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: who knows. Of course, we the waiver wire as well,

41
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: because you know, waiver wire, that's that's that's time for

42
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: you to put in your waiver claims for the week.

43
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: But before we do all that, that same we go

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: behind the glass. But we're actually on stage five today,

45
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: so we'll just go to the floor slightly over to

46
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: my right. So sitting on the floor, our favor producer

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: seenor Edward L. Murphy Esquire Murphy's going on. I'm sitting

48
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: like literally at your feet and the new and beautiful

49
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: Stage five with our little set up here because it's

50
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: a busy day here. But yeah, I mean one of

51
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: those weekends where you know, Yankees lost, Giants lost, but

52
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: I was lucky enough in fantasy is one of those

53
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: games where the opponent had one guy and it was

54
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: Alicean Jeffrey who did not do anything by two points.

55
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: So it's like everything bounces out. It's the law of averages.

56
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: Come on. The Fantasy win is the only thing that

57
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: managed I totally great. It's only I have left going

58
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: for it. Really, So I'm I'm looking at I'm not

59
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: a big hockey person. How are the Rangers doing right now?

60
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: They're a young team that's gonna have a lot of

61
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: bumps in the roads. Okay, it's and then the Knicks

62
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: aren't gonna give you much help either. The Nicks have

63
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: been relevant for I was trying to find some silver

64
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: linings for you, But yeah, I guess fantasy is it.

65
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: There's strictly right? All right? Well on that point, Uh

66
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: that note, then let's do some news. Uh. The first

67
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: bit of news that actually just popped up just before

68
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: we started recording here, Kareem Hunt is eligible to begin

69
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: practicing again with the Cleveland Browns. Uh. He is not

70
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: eligible to come back onto the field until week ten

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: as he finishes out his eight game suspension. Of course,

72
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: the eight games plus there was a by thrown in there,

73
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: so that gives you week ten for Kareem Hunt's return.

74
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: And I guess the biggest question, FABO, and it's one

75
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: that I'm sure we've all been getting for weeks now.

76
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: If you have Nick Chubb, are you worried? Are you

77
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: trying to move him? Or what are you doing with

78
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb right now? I mean I'm a little bit concerned.

79
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: We're talking about one of the better running backs in

80
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: fantasy football since he's been in league. Of course, that

81
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: was with the Kansas City Chiefs, and you know, the

82
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Browns really don't have that number two, A guy who

83
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: can compliment Nick Chubb right now, So you do have

84
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: some concerned about Chubb potentially losing some opportunities as a

85
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: pass catcher. I would hope they're not going to utilize

86
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: Cream Hunt down near the goal line and in the

87
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: red zone. But you know me, brother, I always am

88
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: looking for offers, and if someone out there wants to

89
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: make me an offer that I can't refuse, that includes

90
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: me trading Nick Chubb, I'm open to it. I think

91
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: the big problem here for the Browns is not the

92
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: running game. Nick Chubb is not their problem, and he's

93
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: averaging five point three yards per carry after averaging an

94
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: absurd five point to last year. They've just got They've

95
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: got to get Baker Mayfield figured out, and and if

96
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: if Freddie Kitchens and Todd Monkin are smart, they'll keep

97
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: rolling Nick Chubb. Maybe not as their bell cow because

98
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: he's playing nearly every snap, but he should be their lead,

99
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: their lead rusher. I mean, Chubb has played over of

100
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: Brown snaps in three of the past four weeks, and

101
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: I don't think we can necessarily expect that when Hunt

102
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: does return, but he has been just awesome. They're not

103
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: getting Baker Mayfield back this week. Patriots, Yeah, Yeah, that's

104
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: not going to At the very least, they have had

105
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: ten plus days to theoretically get ready. But on the

106
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: road in New England. Yeah, terrible spot. Uh. Other bit

107
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: of news that literally just popped up as we were

108
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: talking right now, both in Rapp report Adam Schefter reporting

109
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: free agent running back j Gi is working out for

110
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals and taking a report tweet. The visit,

111
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: which begins today and stretches into tomorrow, could result in

112
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: a signing if all goes well. My immediate thought, guys

113
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: is David Johnson's injury is a lot worse than we

114
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: know right now. That's all I can think. Right the Cardinals,

115
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: the Cardinals in NFL teams are required to to to

116
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: come out with pretty I won't say in depth injury reports,

117
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: but at least keep us surprised of injury reports. And

118
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: it seems like DJ's injury. You know, he dealt with

119
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: a back issue a few weeks ago and popped up

120
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: with an ankle the last couple of days. Yeah, I

121
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: think he's He's hurt him way worse than the Cardinals

122
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: have led on. Then then why do we have injury reports?

123
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: I mean, like, honestly, David Johnson was hurt way worse

124
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: obviously than than any of us knew. The Cardinals sort

125
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: of swept it under the rug, and you know, his

126
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: participations in practice were limited and then boom, now he

127
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: doesn't play, and now they're potentially signing j Look, Schefter

128
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: just said too that they're going to work out Spencer.

129
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: Where so the Cardinals are looking for depth right now. Yeah,

130
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: they're looking for depth. You know. Obviously Chase Edmonds was

131
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: fantastic yesterday and and even in the opportunities, the limited

132
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: opportunities he's had, I feel like he has performed very well.

133
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: But they need some depth. DJ Foster was inactive yesterday,

134
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: so they're they're looking for some depth. And this this

135
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: really suggests that the situation with David Johnson is a

136
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: whole lot worse than they were letting on. So, uh,

137
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: if you've got Chase Edmonds, hold type. Uh, if he's

138
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: out there on the waiver wire, which he is in

139
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: plenty of leads, go find him, Go get him, because

140
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: he looks like he's going to be the running back

141
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: of record there in Arizona for the foreseeable future. So uh,

142
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: some some I guess important news, definitely big news pop

143
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: it up here on Monday morning. Elsewhere, Drew Brees reportedly

144
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: plans to return to practice this week for the New

145
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. I know after the game yesterday that Sean

146
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: Payton was sort of mum about it. He really wouldn't

147
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: say much about it. But the reports are Drew Brees

148
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: is going to be back as he continues to rehab

149
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: with a thumb injury. There um with Teddy Bridgewater has

150
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: been fine. He's not necessarily a world beater. Although he

151
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: played well against the Bears on Sunday. He's winning games.

152
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: He's winning games, and that's I mean, for the Saints,

153
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of the important part. But I mean, that's

154
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: getting Drew Brees back, It's it's it's even better news

155
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: for Michael Thomas. It's better news for Alan Camara when

156
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: he's healthy and back on the field. I mean, there's

157
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: just no denying that Breeze makes this offense go at

158
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: a completely different level than Teddy Bridgewater, no question about it.

159
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: And anyone out there who believes well Bridgewater should continue

160
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: to be the starter is out of their mind because

161
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: Breeze is a Hall of Famer. He's going to be

162
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: back under center as soon as possible. And you're right,

163
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, as good as Bridgewater has been,

164
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: the pieces around him have been very unreliable, right. I mean,

165
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: when you're talking about Jared Cook, you know he's had

166
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: a couple of games where he scored a touchdown. He's

167
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 1: had some other games where he hasn't done much of anything.

168
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: And man, Alvin Kamara obviously didn't play this past weekend,

169
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: but his numbers had been subpar based on his high

170
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: previous standards. Latavious, what a game he had yesterday, But yeah,

171
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: breeze makes everyone better in that offense, both on the

172
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: field and for fantasy owners. Michael Thomas, guys, has just

173
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: been so good with breeze. He's been phenomenal nine for

174
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: now and to eight for eighty nine, and then yesterday

175
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: he had a fantastic game with one. Almost as if

176
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: our pal Adam Levitan is listening to us do this

177
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: right now, he just tweeted, as you're talking. Michael Thomas

178
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: has played five full games with Teddy Bridgewater this season.

179
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: His sixteen game pace in those games buck four catches,

180
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: hundred sixty three yards and nine point six touchdowns. That's

181
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty So we'll keep an eye

182
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: on Drew Brees see what happens how soon he is

183
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: able to come back. But it looks like that return

184
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: is very imminent. So if you held on to him, uh,

185
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: you're getting close to some some relief here. Uh. If

186
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: for whatever crazy reason, somebody put him on the waiver wire,

187
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: go snatch him up. I don't know why they would

188
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: do that. Other quarterback news, Matt Ryan suffered an ankle

189
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: injury in the Falcons blowout loss to the Rams. As

190
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: somebody who started Matt Ryan in a whole bunch of leagues.

191
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: When that game got away, as they tend to do

192
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: for the Falcons of the season, I was sort of

193
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: sitting and waiting for the garbage points to roll in.

194
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: They never did. Matt shob got there and then he

195
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: got hurt. Mat Job got a garbage sign touchdown to

196
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper, which hey, you know, keeps Hooper's value up. Um.

197
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: And then on top of it, so Ryan gets the

198
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: ankle injury Graham and at that point it was like

199
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: seven to three or whatever it was. Um, there was

200
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: really no point of the Falcons running him back out there.

201
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: But now the question is like how serious is this?

202
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: He left in a walking boot on Sunday afterwards, and

203
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: this really changes the dynamic of the Falcons offense. I

204
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: would think if if Matt Ryan's not there, no doubt.

205
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: And one thing that I'm concerned about is the Falcons

206
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: play this week against the Seahawks at home and then

207
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: they have their by you know, with five straight losses,

208
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: this team is one and six. Their defense obviously can't

209
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: stop anybody in their their their coaches obviously on the

210
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: hot seat. I'm I'm definitely a little concerned that Matt

211
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: Ryan won't play this week. And if that happens, then

212
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: then pretty much all of these guys outside of maybe

213
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: Julio and then Austin Hooper of course at tight end,

214
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: would be unplayable. But you know, Matt Ryan has been

215
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: fantastic for Fantasy this year, and I think, you know,

216
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: obviously getting hurt yesterday and in the Rams d line

217
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: blowing up their their game plan at least in the

218
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: first half, really contributed to really his first bad game

219
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: of the year. And can we talk about DeVonta Freeman.

220
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: You gotta make good choices, make fights with Aaron Donald,

221
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: don't throw a punch and are Now, I'm mean, not

222
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: only is that just not smart for your own physical

223
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: well being, but then you get tossed out of the

224
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: game and you cost fantasy. I'm not sure if that

225
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: was worthy of being tossed. They were just kind of

226
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: like locked up there, and I'm just more like with

227
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: marveling at the fact that Aaron Donald literally lifted him

228
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: off that it was more. I was more marveling that

229
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman, who is not a not a very tall man,

230
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: I felt that he could bow up to Aaron Donald,

231
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: who is it a liternds the human personification of the

232
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: Incredible Hulk, Like he just he is, um, yeah, and

233
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: like why I literally had to like watch him. Did

234
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: he just get lifted up off the ground, Like yes, yes,

235
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: he really did. Uh So, Matt Ryan being out that

236
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: certainly is going to impact a lot of people in

237
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: that offense. I mean, I guess the good news is

238
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: Matt shob is not you know, he's not some brand

239
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: new quarterback who's gonna be deer in the headlights. Um

240
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: at least has been a starter at something. I will

241
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: tell you this though, they're playing in Seattle next week,

242
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, I'm streaming the Seahawks because because the

243
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: match jobs middle name six King of the pick six

244
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: is man. I would never forget when, uh, when he

245
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: signed with the Raiders and his first pass in training

246
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: camp was a pick six and Twitter lost its collective mind.

247
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: There was a there was a time there where like

248
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: he had like two or three games in a row

249
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: with pick sixes and it was just like streaming Defense

250
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: of Heaven right there. Oh it was. It was the

251
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: worst or the best, I guess, depending on your perspective.

252
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling left Sunday's game for the Vikings with a

253
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. The Vikings went on to get a win,

254
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: so they didn't necessarily miss him, but I guess the

255
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: upside is he caught a touchdown pass before he left.

256
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: But now we're keeping an eye on how much this

257
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: is going to impact him. Look, three weeks in a row,

258
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: the Vikings have had a successful passing game, right and

259
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: Feeland had to touchdown yesterday, Stefan Digs ended up having

260
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: a couple of big plays. Kirk Cousins has another big day.

261
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: So I mean, this grand feels sort of like a

262
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: loss now, right because the schedule opens up really nicely.

263
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: They're starting to throw the football, so hopefully Adam Celand's

264
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: okay and come back and play it. Sure does, and

265
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: unfortunately the Vikings are on a short week this week.

266
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: They play on Thursday night. So revenge game said, yeah,

267
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you're right. I mean, is there is there

268
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: a more Is there a less boring revenge game than Kirt? Well,

269
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: there's a Katrick Fitzpatrick did pretty well against Buffalo butt.

270
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: You've got you got the you got the Kirk Cousins

271
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: angle on one side, You've got the Adrian on your side.

272
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: It's the Revenge's the double here. That is how we

273
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: have to sell this thing on Fox an NFL network.

274
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: Peterson versus kirk Cousin. James Celand obviously got you in

275
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: the box yesterday with the great That was a fantastic,

276
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: great touchdown that he heard his hamstream on. But Stefon Diggs, guys,

277
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: this is um If theeland is obviously probably going to

278
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: miss on Thursday night, this is just another good spot

279
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: for Diggs to continue maybe turning around a little bit.

280
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: Seven for one sixty seven or three last week. Obviously

281
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: had a good game this week as well, and a

282
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: huge He had a huge play down the middle didn't score,

283
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, Diggs Digs is slowly coming back to life

284
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: a little bit here. Yeah. Um, you know, maybe we

285
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: just need more receivers to go out and complain about

286
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: their lack of targets in and off. I know, why

287
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: couldn't we have this all season long? Right? Because this

288
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: this whole change in offensive philosophy, David Cook is still

289
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: eating and the receivers are now putting up good numbers.

290
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: Hopefully Feland's okay. Unfortunately, like you guys had mentioned, short weeks,

291
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: so that could uh, that could go against him. More

292
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: injury news, carry On Johnson had a knee injury in

293
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: the loss to the Vikings on Sunday. That was one

294
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: I somehow missed him leaving the game. I just remember

295
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: looking up and seeing Ty Johnson on the field and

296
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: getting a whole lot of carries and targets and not

297
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: really annoing what happened until maybe close to halftime seeing

298
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: a report that that he was out of the game. Um, fabs,

299
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: It's it's been a frustrating year, I think fantasy wins

300
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: for carry On Johnson, it hasn't been quite the production

301
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: I think we would have wanted. But um, I mean

302
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: with the waiver wire being so thin. Um, I don't know.

303
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: We I hope he comes back soon. I mean, do

304
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: we do? We believe in Ty Johnson is the next

305
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: man up there in that Detroit offense. Hey man, we

306
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: believe in touches, we believe in volume, and carry On

307
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: Johnson was getting that, uh you know, heading into this week,

308
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: he had averaged what twenty four and a half touches

309
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: over his previous two games, over seventy in terms of

310
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: offensive snaps played. So if he's gonna miss time, Ty

311
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: Johnson is probably gonna be behind Chase Edmonds, but very

312
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: close in terms of being the number one in two

313
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: waiver wire pickups for this weekend. And we all know

314
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: how hard it is to come buy really good running

315
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: backs off the waiver wire at this point in the season.

316
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: So these guys are gonna end up being very valuable

317
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: if the guys ahead of them, both David Johnson and

318
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson are gonna miss any time due to

319
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: their injuries. So if you haven't blown your fab budget yet,

320
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: you may end up doing it this week. Yeah, yeah,

321
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. Part of me is just

322
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: so frustrated because Carrie On Johnson isn't. I was so

323
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: excited to get him in the third round and so

324
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: many drafts and just hasn't. Really. Yeah, that injury, that

325
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: injury yesterday hurt my soul. It really did. And I

326
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: mean and you know last year the knee injury also

327
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, finished his rookie season early. So a little

328
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: bit concerned there. All Right, last bit of news. Will

329
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: Fuller left the Texans loss with a hamstring injury. And

330
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: this just feels sort of like deja vu all over

331
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: again with will Fuller, Graham. I mean, we we've seen this.

332
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: It seems like time and time again. He plays really well.

333
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: It's just these soft tissue injuries that keep jumping up

334
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: to bite him. We'll see how long he's out. Uh,

335
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: it definitely hurts him obviously not being there. I guess

336
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: the upside is we can hope that maybe this means

337
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: some more downfield throws for DeAndre Hopkins, because that was

338
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: something you and I talked about yesterday. They just aren't

339
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: throwing him downfield. Maybe will Fuller not being there allows

340
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: allows Nuke to be a little bit more of a

341
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: field stretcher. Right, It's really interesting to see how they've

342
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: used these receivers this year. Kenny still has obviously thissed

343
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: a few games. He came back yesterday, but they kind

344
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: of used Nuke and more of like a possession role

345
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: near the line of scrimmage. And like you mentioned, I

346
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: hope Fuller's injury does open up some of those deep

347
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: targets for him. But obviously he had just an enormous

348
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: game yesterday. Was was fantastic to see the old new Copkins.

349
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: And and now next week or the next two weeks,

350
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: I should say he gets Raiders next and then this

351
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: Jack secondary without Jalen Ramsey. So yeah, I mean, the

352
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: the matchups are are favorable. So hopefully we'll we'll see

353
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: if this means some some good things for Nuke. We'll

354
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: also kind of keep an eye on what will Fuller

355
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: situation isn't how soon potentially he may be back, you know,

356
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: I know, I know. Deander Hopkins has been frustrating at

357
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: times this year, but he has five or more catches

358
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: in every game. He's been consistent. Just the touchdowns and

359
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: the big plays haven't necessarily been there, and it seems

360
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: like they're coming around, right. That's the thing, Like I

361
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: that he's on pace for over a hundred catches this year. Um,

362
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: it's just you know. The one thing I noticed is

363
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: that last yesterday his air yards per target were over tens,

364
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: like ten and a half. I believe it was that

365
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: where that's where you want it, right in the five

366
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: games that were driving us crazy, where he wasn't doing much,

367
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: that number was down about eight and a half or so.

368
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: So those extra two yards on average mean a whole

369
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: lot of difference in his production. Yeah, that's pretty much

370
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: everything you need to know alright. Week seven will conclude

371
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: tonight's with the Patriots and the Getropolitans. I need fifteen

372
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: points from from the Dorset. Please, please, please, can we

373
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: make this happen to get a win in one of

374
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: my leagues? I would love that. That'd be grand. Um.

375
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, I broke down some of the

376
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: big storylines from Sunday in terms of Beastie Boys tunes

377
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: and the first one sure shots right, guys that we love,

378
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: Guys that we want to put in our line up

379
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: every week, who maybe had frustrated us, but now hopefully

380
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: everything's good again, Like are we cool? So the first one,

381
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: the big one is Aaron Rodgers fixed forty three fantasy points,

382
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: six total touchdowns. I mean, yes, that was and that

383
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: was even for Aaron Rodgers. That isn't considered a blow

384
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: up game. But FABS is the signs maybe that the

385
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: Packers offense is starting to come around or was it

386
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: just the play the Raiders yesterday? Well, more amazingly is

387
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: that he did it with the talent that he had

388
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: around him. No, Davante Adams, Gerono Moisson was banged up,

389
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: MVS went nuts, he missed a lot of practice during

390
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: the course of the week, and the player we all liked,

391
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: Alan Lazar, didn't really do much of anything. So kudos

392
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: to Rogers. I think it was just one of those games,

393
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: and Rogers typically has one of those every once in

394
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: a while. If you remember last year, he had a

395
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: huge game against the Jets, moved up, I believe, from

396
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: QB sixteen to QB nine. So you'll take that next

397
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: up Chiefs. But let's also keep in mind that Chiefs defense,

398
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: let's killed last week, man. I mean, they're giving up

399
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: just under eighteen fantasy points per game to quarterback so

400
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: far this season. So when you look at that matchup

401
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: and you think, oh, this is gonna be high scoring game,

402
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: maybe especially without Patrick Mahomes exactly right. I mean no,

403
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes just changes the whole complexion of that game.

404
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: And if the Packers get ahead, obviously they won't have

405
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: to keep their foot on their gas very very much. Um. Yeah,

406
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: you know, the the Chiefs, and we've kind of been

407
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: saying in the last couple of weeks during at the

408
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: pick on defense that they used to be uh, they're

409
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: actually playing pretty well and this has the potentially, as

410
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Grahama, the Packers get ahead, then we can

411
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: see a steady diet of Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams.

412
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: I would think that if you're the Chiefs, you're going

413
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: to give a steady diet to Damian Williams Lashawn McCoy

414
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: because you don't want to put the ball in Matt

415
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: Moore's hands, you know, twenty to thirty times. In the

416
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: craziest thing about this Rogers performances, he only needed thirty

417
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: one pass attempts to throw for four d and twenty

418
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: nine yards and he had a gain of twenty or

419
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: more yards to six different receivers nuts twenty or more

420
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: yards to six different receivers yesterday. So for me, yeah,

421
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: I think this was more or less just heat was

422
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: just absolutely on fire at home against this Raider's team

423
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: that just stood no chance. Yeah, pretty much. So we

424
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about this just a minute ago.

425
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: But uh, I mean so Graham, DeAndre Hopkins, he's he's

426
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: fixed now, right, like we're cool, We're okay. Yeah, he's

427
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns again. You know. I think one of the

428
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: things I wrote about last week is like he'd only

429
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: seen one end zone target all year, which just seemed

430
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: like it was just bounder aggressive and obvious. Yesterday he

431
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: got he got into the end zone. Um, I think

432
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: we're good. I think I think we're all good with

433
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: nuke now. And and uh really it had never gotten

434
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: as bad as maybe as it seemed, because he was

435
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: still being the same consistent player, just not having any

436
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: big players. But we just mentioned his schedule is about

437
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: to open up and Will Fuller's absence should open up

438
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: some more deep targets. I mean, I think the big

439
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: frustration was that, you know, the games he was giving,

440
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: you were you know, twelve points, fifteen points, sixteen points,

441
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: nine points, seven points. Those were fine if he was

442
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: like a flex guy, right, like not the guy you

443
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: spent a late first round, early second round pick on

444
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: and I think that was the frustration here, is that

445
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: he was not giving you first round returns. Uh. And

446
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: so you know, coming back with a point game on

447
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: Sunday makes you feel a little bit better and gives

448
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: you gives you, you know what. It's sort of like, Look,

449
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm terrible at golf. I don't play golf erry off,

450
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: and I'm really bad at it. And when I do,

451
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: I hit a bunch of really terrible shots. And then

452
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: what happened is I'm on the verge of giving up,

453
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: and then i hit one really great shot and I'm like,

454
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: let's keep going. You've just described and you hit your

455
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: neck sucks. It's that it's that one shot every round

456
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: coming back, I'm like, you know, one good shot, I'm like, hey,

457
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: let's this is fun. Let's do this again. And then

458
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: like the next three like are off to the side

459
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: and it's awful and I don't want to do this anymore.

460
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: That's that's I'm hoping that's not the case with Nuke.

461
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: So anyway, um, are we backing on Kirk Cousins Now,

462
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean, three weeks in a row, he's played well,

463
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: and as we talked about the matchups are really good

464
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: going for We talked about the revenge game, the double

465
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: revenge game coming up this week. Um, I mean, did

466
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: we did we maybe write him off too soon? Um?

467
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: Or you know, have the Vikings come to their senses

468
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: and decided that you do have to have a passing game?

469
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: Well after four weeks, Marcus, I mean he was dreadful. Yeah,

470
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: you're looking at a guy who didn't score more than

471
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: twelve point or four teen point three points in his

472
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: first four games. So when you take a quarter of

473
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: the season and you look at the production, you're like, well,

474
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: this team has gone completely to the run and Stefanski

475
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: is basically newterd Cousins Statistically, Well, since then, he's been rejuvenated,

476
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: you know, twenty plus points in three straight games. His

477
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: Fantasy points have increased in three straight games. He's got

478
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: a revenge game against the Redskins coming up, and then

479
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: you know, you've got matchups your Kansas City. As we

480
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: mentioned the their their defense is tougher than I think

481
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people are giving him credit for. You've

482
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: got Dallas, Denver, the game, You've gotta buy Seattle, so

483
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: a few tough matchups in there. But yeah, curses. Kirk

484
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: Cousins needs to be owned in every league, and he

485
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: is an absolute QB two at the very least right now.

486
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: I was absolutely wrong about Cousins this week. He came

487
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: back and he was freaking awesome. I mean, he was

488
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: so good, especially without Adam Feeland for basically most of

489
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: that game. I will say over the past couple of weeks,

490
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: Cousins has thrown let's see ten passing touchdowns on twenty

491
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: nine and thirty four pass attempts. That type of scoring

492
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: rate is not going to sustain itself, especially especially in

493
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: this run heavy team, run heavy offense. But we mentioned it,

494
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, great match up again with the Redskins this week. Yeah,

495
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: uh so. You know, look, if if he's out there,

496
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: go get him, go pick him up, go at him,

497
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: because because things are looking up for Kirk Cousins right now.

498
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: Moving on, the next group of guys are guys who

499
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: are being sabotaged, which, by the way, maybe still the

500
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: greatest music video in all of history. Go go google

501
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: if you've never seen it. Um And it's not necessarily

502
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: because the guys around him are playing bad, although in

503
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: some cases that is the case, but in other cases,

504
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: like for instance, with mark Ingram. Right, Uh, Lamar Jackson

505
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: has been just phenomenal the last few weeks throwing the football,

506
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: running the football, and you look at his his rushing

507
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: numbers on top of it, Right, he's got Week two

508
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: he ran for a hundred and twenty yards. Week five,

509
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: yet seventy one yard, seventy yards, Uh, Week six, hundred

510
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: and fifty two, yesterday a hundred and sixteen yards. He

511
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: really is sort of doing everything. And so that leads

512
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: me to ask, guys, is he's sort of hurting the

513
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: value of mark Ingram because he has been so effective

514
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: running the football this year? That's a fair question. And

515
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: they've been rotating their running backs a little bit with

516
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards and Justice hill Um up not a not enough,

517
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: but it's a I think it's it's enough to like

518
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: just take away for from mark Um mark Ingram. Over

519
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, he's basically played snaps a

520
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: Week six, was at this past week. And I don't

521
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: know if it's Lamar just being so good because he's

522
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: so dynamic. It's like, why would you want to give

523
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: the ball to mark Ingram when you have Lamar Jackson?

524
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: Who could? I mean he's basically untacklable. Um, but yeah,

525
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: the rotation is hurting him a little bit. But you know,

526
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: the thing with Ingram is is we weren't ever expecting him.

527
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: I don't think to be a bell cow and you know,

528
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: catch a bunch of passes. He has two or more

529
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: red zone carries in every single game. He has like

530
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: one of the highest touchdown ceilings in every game. And um,

531
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: you know, even though he's not playing every snap and

532
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is awesome, he's just mean, yeah, there's there's

533
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: no running Very few running backs have the touchdown appeal

534
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: that Ingram has every week, all right, I mean, I

535
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: guess that's that's sort of what's keeping us in right,

536
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: And maybe maybe part of the issue was that he

537
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 1: was so great the first couple of weeks. I mean,

538
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: we're both he and Lamar were so we're having huge

539
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: weeks on the ground. Uh. And look, it's not that

540
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram has been terrible, that he's fallen off a cliff,

541
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: but those yardage totals week to week have started to

542
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: kind of look a little more well, sort of like

543
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: they did last year, right when he was kind of

544
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: sharing time with Alvin Kamara. Uh, and maybe we were

545
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: sort of fooled into into thinking some big things after

546
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: the first month of the season. Uh, okay, now things

547
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: are where things are going bad? Uh? Is Melvin Gordon fabs?

548
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: Is he hurting Keenan Allen right now? I looked yesterday.

549
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: The first four games of the season, Keenan Allen had

550
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: about twelve targets per game. Um, that was sort of skewed.

551
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,239
Speaker 1: In Week four, he didn't see the ball a whole lot.

552
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: But that's because they ran out to a big lead

553
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. They didn't really need him. The last

554
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: three weeks, since Melvin Gordon has come back, that number

555
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: is dipped to about seven and a half targets per game.

556
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: And I feel like it's because they're trying to shoehorn

557
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon talk into the offense. I completely agree, and honestly,

558
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: this offense was better. And I said, you know, this

559
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: offense was better without Melvin Gordon. I mean it really was.

560
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: From a fantasy respective and from a real perspective. The

561
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: Chargers had Alan getting targeted. A ton guy was basically

562
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: a virtual lock to give you at least eighty yards

563
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: every single game. Austin Neckler was getting the majority of

564
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: the touches, he was being utilized as a pass catcher. Now,

565
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, they're trying to get Gordon involved in

566
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: the running game and it just hasn't worked. I mean,

567
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: it's almost you know, they kind of threw a wrench

568
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: in the machine and it's sort of made everything go bonkers.

569
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, this is gonna be what we're gonna have

570
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: to deal with for the rest of the season because

571
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: the Chargers are not gonna go away from Melvin Gordon.

572
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: It's just not it's not gonna happen. Maybe they decreases

573
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: his usage somewhat, but I mean, he's still gonna get

574
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: the goal on opportunities, which he's been getting, and he's

575
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: still going to be a guy that they're going to

576
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: be leaning on because of his past success and the

577
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: fact that you know, Gordon is a guy who has

578
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: has had a big part to do with the success

579
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: of this offense over the last two or three years.

580
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: So it's just all bad right now. It's all bad

581
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: in in in Los Angeles from a Charger's perspective. Keenan

582
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: got eleven targets yesterday at four for sixty one, so

583
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: style game for him, But Melvin Gordon. Guys, it's basically

584
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: every play that he's every touch that he's had so

585
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: far has been negative for his team. He's he's got

586
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: thirty six carries on the on the season so far,

587
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: and as longest game he's gone seven yards. I mean,

588
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: I just right now, the Chargers at every play that

589
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: goes to Melvin Gordon is a loss for them because

590
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: they have so much other talent on their offense. The

591
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: ball needs to be going to other places. Melvin Gordon

592
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: has a hundred and fifteen scrimmage yards since he's been back.

593
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: Austin Neckler had a hundred and eighteen receiving yards alone

594
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: in Week seven. Um, and you're right, Um, Ekeler was

595
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: screwed out of a touchdown yesterday too. Yeah that looked

596
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: really really close. Yeah, he definitely was. But you know,

597
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: but you figure with as they're trying to integrate Melvin

598
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: Gordon back into this offense, that that is opportunities that

599
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: aren't going to Eckler, going to Keenan Allen, going to

600
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry Um, which for a team that's now two

601
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: and five and very quickly spiraling out of playoff relevance,

602
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: you just wonder how much longer. They're gonna try and

603
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: keep you know, square pegging this thing right now. Yeah.

604
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean the thing with Melvin Gorton too, is like

605
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: he was he's been a great receiver in his career,

606
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: has been very consistent receiver. But he has thirteen targets

607
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: this year and they've gone for thirty four yards. So

608
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: it's you know, not only is he struggling on the

609
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: ground as a rusher, he's really struggling to as a receiver,

610
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: which is just I mean, it's a huge concern for him. Yeah. Absolutely,

611
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: last one, this seems like an easy one though. Is

612
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: Mitchell Drubisky just hurting the Bears fantasy value in general? Um?

613
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, like Allen Robinson's getting garbage time touchdowns, that's cool. Uh,

614
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: Cohen is sort of hoovering up useless targets. He had

615
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: twelve targets, caught nine of them for nineteen yards. And

616
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: you know how I feel about PPR, Like this was like,

617
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: you know, exhibit A why it frustrates me. But I mean, look,

618
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm just it's awful. I'm starting to think the five

619
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: six guy who's a hundred and sixty pounds probably shouldn't

620
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: be getting twelve targets in an NFL football game. I mean,

621
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: but when you have a quarterback that literally is just

622
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: skind of like basically panic throwing the football. Mean, that's

623
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: what happens, right the Bears yesterday there their offensive game plan,

624
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,719
Speaker 1: I mean, coming out of a by right, they let

625
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: Mitchell true Whisky throw and I get it. You know,

626
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: they got behind against the Saints whatever. Saints have a

627
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: good run defense too, but they let a True Whisky

628
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: throw the ball over fifty times. David Montgomery headed too,

629
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: carries two. Yeah, And that's the other part that I

630
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: don't understand. I just right now. I mean that the Bears, Look,

631
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: you haven't been able to run the ball. You're David

632
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: Montagram has definitely been disappointing, has not beneficient. But you

633
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: can't you can't expect Mitchell true Whisky to throw the

634
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: ball over fifty times and you win football. I mean,

635
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: it's just insane. The other the other part of that

636
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: is that it's not as though the Saints ran out

637
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: and hid in that game. The the final score like,

638
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: they ran off a string of points, especially in the

639
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: second half, but that game was fairly close through most

640
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: of the first half. It was close on the scoreboard,

641
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: but the Saints absolutely manhandled the Bears on both sides

642
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: of the ball. I thought their defense was fantastic once again.

643
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: And and true Whisky is just proving himself that he's

644
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not even just a guy. He's really

645
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: holding this offense back. He's not even you know, he's

646
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: not even basically orchestrating the thing. He's just he's kind

647
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: of deadweight right now. And let's talk about you know,

648
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: Marcus had mentioned how you know this week was unpredictable,

649
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: and you know, I mentioned that had gone sideways. The

650
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: Bears is a team have gone sideways. The two of

651
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: the teams that people expected to compete in their respective

652
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: conferences were the Browns and the Bears, and neither one

653
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: of those teams is any good. The Bears defense the

654
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: last two weeks has gotten crushed by running backs. Latavius

655
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: Murray made them look awful yesterday and then in London

656
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs went nuts against them. So from a fantasy

657
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: landscape situation scenario, you don't fear this back, that this

658
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: this you know, Russian defense anymore. And they've got I

659
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: believe the charger is coming up next. So that's a

660
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: whole different story because we've been talking about Melvin Gordon.

661
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: But you know, we mentioned how the Chiefs defense is

662
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: actually like pretty good against wide receivers. The Bears defense

663
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: has actually been really bad again running backs the last

664
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and things changed from year to year,

665
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: and these two teams in particular are a glaring example

666
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: of that. And then let's also not you know, not

667
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: forget that the Colts, who don't have Andrew Luck anymore currently,

668
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: the ANFC South. Yeah, which actually leads me perfectly into

669
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: our final category here. The guys who fight for your

670
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: right to fight for their right to be on your

671
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: roster or to be in your starting lineup. So you

672
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: mentioned that the Bears the last two weeks, I believe,

673
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: between Jacobs and Murray uh combined two d forty two

674
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: rushing yards and four touchdowns. Uh they scored against the

675
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: Bears defense. The one thing I did notice was sort

676
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: of going through Pro Football Focus and looking at run

677
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: concepts and that sort of thing, the teams that have

678
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: had some success on the ground against the Bears have

679
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: gone very heavy outside zone. That's what the Raiders did. Uh.

680
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: The Saints did that yesterday a little bit. And I

681
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: think some of it is just like, let's just run

682
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: right at Khalil Mac and see if we can sort

683
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: of neutralize him that way. And I think that has

684
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: helped a little bit. I'm not gonna sit here and

685
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: say that, you know, start all your running backs against

686
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: the Bears, because I think that would be foolish, but

687
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: it does bring up, RAM mean, the issue of Okay,

688
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: so these last two weeks or last two games, people

689
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: have run on the Bears. Now we have Melvin Gordon,

690
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: who we just talked about being stuck in neutral right now?

691
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 1: Do we feel confident enough that Melvin Gordon can? I mean,

692
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: I just I don't know that I would do it.

693
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm that I'm brave enough to

694
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: do that. You can't start Melvin Coordon this week. I know,

695
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: obviously the Raiders um had some success with outside zone

696
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: stands to too, but Donn Cook and and the Vikings

697
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: they run a ton of outside zone and you know,

698
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: Dovin Cook really strugger gun Indian zone in that game.

699
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: I think the Bears probably will get their run defense right.

700
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: But you mentioned it, man, you can't play Melvin. You

701
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: can't play Melvinord I mean, you can play Ekeler because

702
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: if his usage in the passing game, because because Ekeler

703
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: is awesome and you feel comfortable if he gets ten

704
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: to twelve touches, he's actually going to do something on them. Um.

705
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: You can't feel that way about Melvin coord right now.

706
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: I just yeah. I mean, like I looked at those

707
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: last and I you know, I in my weekly tired

708
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: Wired column where I just sort of like, look at

709
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: things that you know and maybe maybe you try this.

710
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: I really thought, maybe you give La Tavis Murray a shot.

711
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: Maybe Sean Baton will look at the Raiders did and

712
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: try to do something similar and it worked out. I

713
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: don't have that same level of confidence in the Charter offense. Um,

714
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: I just don't. Um. So, I feel like we sort

715
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: of answered this at the beginning, but I'll ask it again.

716
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: Fabs Chase Edmonds, he's got standalone value right now, right

717
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: he d Who knows? I mean, with the news about

718
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: j G. I I mean, you could be looking at

719
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: a potential top ten back the rest of the rest

720
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: of the way, or at least as long as David

721
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: Johnson is gonna miss time, assuming that's the case. Because

722
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: we're just reading the tea leaves here, But I mean

723
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: that that performance that's gonna go down as one of

724
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: the most wasted great performances of the season, right because

725
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: none of us knew that David Johnson was going to

726
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: end up being on the sidelines. So the people who

727
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: started Jase Edmonds were starting him out of desperation as

728
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: a flex starter because they had a player on a

729
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 1: bio week whatever the case may be, have injuries, you say, hey,

730
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: this guy is getting touches, We'll throw them in there

731
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: and boom, three touchdowns later, you could end up having

732
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: a top tier back. If David Johnson is gonna miss

733
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: any any games, could imagine like having you know, obviously

734
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of great running backs on him by

735
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: last week McCaffrey, Nick Chobb, James Conner to name a few,

736
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: and then you put in Jase Edmonds is just like, oh,

737
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: he's going to get the ball a few times and

738
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: just having one of the best games, the best games

739
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 1: of the season. H One thing, real quick, The Cardinals

740
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: have a late by this year twelve It is, yeah,

741
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: it's a week twelve. That's I mean, if DJ is

742
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: not going to get any rest, and obviously he was used,

743
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: and I'm quoting Cliff Kingsbury is like, what did he

744
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: says as needed need based or something like that, as

745
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: needed basis. Maybe they were just giving him the week

746
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: off to kind of like, you know, get him right

747
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: for this month long stretch run of having a late

748
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: by um. But yeah, Edmunds, man, it looks like I mean, if, if,

749
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: if he's going to be their lead guy with DJ

750
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: banged up, he's definitely a top top fifteen back every

751
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: single week because the Cardinals just have such a great

752
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: offense that's so conducive to rushing. Yeah, I mean, we

753
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: saw so many r posyesterday that we're so successful with them.

754
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: He went to Fordham. How many guys have been starting

755
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: on your fantasy team that have been uh Fordham alums

756
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: for the ford Rams. I believe that, Yes, that school

757
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: is in the Bronx. It is. Uh. One of the

758
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: most famous alans is Vince Scully. Oh nice, where where

759
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: our Yankees are now residing for the rest of the office. Hey,

Speaker 1: the same hometown, so shout out to him. On a

763
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: what has been a great career. Uh, Hall of Famer,

764
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: no doubt. All right, cool yeah, cool, Um, he's just

765
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: played for so long. He was even good the past

766
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: couple of years. I mean, he got people out consistently.

767
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: By the way. He also was a power forward on

768
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: a high school basketball team that went to a state

769
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: championship game. Lost in the state championship game. But yeah,

770
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: it was a big part of it. Okay, that's enough

771
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: of that. It's a time to sell high on Marvin Jones. Obviously,

772
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 1: the four touchdown day. You're not gonna get any better

773
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: than that out of really, you know, out of a

774
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: lot of guys, but especially out of Marvin Jones, especially

775
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: on a day when Keimmy Golladay only gets two targets.

776
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: Do you sell high on him now or do you

777
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: wait until after this week's game against the New York

778
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: Giants and think that, you know, get maybe one last

779
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: hurrah with Marvin Jones and then try to move him.

780
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 1: I'd be trying to sell on him right now. You

781
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: got the Giants, you got Raiders, Bears, Cowboys rescue. I'd

782
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: be trying to I mean, he he's had one other

783
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: really strong game this season. That was it. That was

784
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: back in Week three against the Eagles, who are obviously

785
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: awful against wide receivers. So yeah, I'd be trying to

786
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: sell him right now. I think one of the biggest

787
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: things here is, like, you know, it's just such a

788
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: weird game. Sometimes the NFL is so weird. Matthew Stafford

789
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: throws at forty five times, forty five freaking times. Golladay

790
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: gets two targets, and coming into this game, Golladay was

791
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: by far had a better role than Marvin Jones. Coming

792
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: in he saw of the team's targets. Jones was down

793
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: to sevent Golla, they had more air yards, and of

794
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: course Marvin Jones just goes absolutely ham One thing. One

795
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: thing I learned um and we've been learning I think

796
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: over the past couple of weeks, and Xavier Roads is

797
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: not the same player he was as if. I for

798
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: sure this Vikings defense is beatable. They are very very

799
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 1: beatable through here, yea, which means you can get Mr

800
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: McLaurin back into your starting lineups, which is weird. You

801
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: never have thought that, assuming assuming that you know there's

802
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: not another you know monsoon, you know, Yeah, that didn't help.

803
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: So that didn't help at all. I was shocked to

804
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: see the field conditions that FedEx field where we're not good. Yes,

805
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: that that never happens. Weird, that never happens. I want

806
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: to see where that game is. Hopefully it's not in

807
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: h in Washington. Yeah, well we'll see it's in Minnesota.

808
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: So there will be no mind soon unless and unless

809
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: there's a chastrophe. This is a flood inside the stadium.

810
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean, McLaren was a good fade though this past Yeah,

811
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: I feel like we all sort of saw that one.

812
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: That was one of the few things that I feel

813
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: like we saw coming that actually kind of worked out,

814
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: did right, Yeah, not much, not much did That one

815
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: was actually uh, you know, that was a good one.

816
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: Not only did Miner's defense just absolutely have another awesome game,

817
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: but the rain there just was ever came him through

818
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: the ball twelve times this week. Everyone everyone was starting

819
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: kept Tevin Coleman. Tevin Coleman got the majority of the

820
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: touches in that backfield, but couldn't do much slopping around

821
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: in that quagma. Right, And uh, then you've also got

822
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, who a lot of people started as a streamer.

823
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: And I will say I feel like it'd be extremely

824
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: fun to play in those types of conditions like Nick

825
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: Bosa and all those guys, like they seem like they're

826
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: having a great time sliding around and yeah, apparently the

827
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: the Washington home broadcast took offense to Nick Bosa sliding

828
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: after the sack that ended the game. Like, really, get

829
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: over yourself. They pretty much kicked your butt, like you know,

830
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: you're like, I mean, you're the Redskins. You're not that good.

831
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: Like that's the thing that that's what made not not

832
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: how the franchise has been mismanaged over two decades or

833
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: anything like that, or how this team is really just

834
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: bottom of the barrel awful. It was Nick Bosa sliding

835
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: across your field. That's what set you off. Yeah, get

836
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: over it. Um waiver wire time. Uh, there are a

837
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: lot of names that are are worthwhile on the waiver

838
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: wire this week because we talked about so many injuries.

839
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: So it's like a lot of guys to keep eye on.

840
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds obviously top of the list. A Actually, if

841
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: this David Johnson things turns out to be more serious

842
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: than we originally anticipated, Ty Johnson, You're keeping an eye

843
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: on what happens with Carrie on Johnson. So many guys

844
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: named Johnson who are injured right now, Johnson and Johnson

845
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: and john and Johnson, I know, right, still keep an

846
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: eye on Ty Johnson. He's potentially he potentially has some

847
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: value this week. Mark Walton, who it's his backfield now

848
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: they're in Miami. Um, he outsnapped, he outsnapped Kenyan Drake yesterday,

849
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: decent day on the ground, just laughing because we debated, like, oh,

850
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: should you draft Calein belagely Kenyan Drake because he worth

851
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 1: the round seventh round pick and now we're talking about

852
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: Mark wat ends up being Mark Walton who got arrested

853
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: and cut from the Bengals and now he's their leader,

854
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean and arrested and cut from the Bengals. Like

855
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: that's a little odd because how many guys over the

856
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: years have been arrested as part of that roster and

857
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: the man so yea, So Mark Walton, Uh, it is

858
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: his backfield there in Miami for the foreseeable future. Speaking

859
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: of guys in Miami, look, DeVante Parker Preston Williams have

860
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: been very quietly playing some good football. Vante Parker has

861
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns in three straight Uh, you know, Preston Williams is

862
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: getting a whole lot of targets there. And look as

863
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: much Graham, you talked you and I talked about this

864
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: just today. As much as we like Josh Rosen as

865
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: a player, this offense is just better with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yeah,

866
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: it does not bode well for Rosen. I mean I

867
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: was a Rosen fan coming out. I've I've tried to

868
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: stand for him because I just think he's got a

869
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: completely raw deal with last year obviously being the Cardinals,

870
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: in this year with the Dolphins, But definitely does not

871
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 1: bode well that Ryan Fitzpatrick comes out and immediately gives

872
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: this offense a lift. Um. Yeah, I mean it's from

873
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: a fantasy standport, it's the older guys that we want.

874
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: You know, we want case Keenum in there because of

875
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: the Terry McLaurin thing. We want Ryan Fitzpatrick in there

876
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: because he's going to be throwing the football to Parker

877
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: and he's gonna make mistakes and turnovers. But from a

878
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: statistical perspective, those are the guys we want. And it's

879
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: the same thing in Tennessee. And I'll move on to

880
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: Corey Davis. We want Ryan Tannehill as the quarterback of

881
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, because it not only is going to

882
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: improve the value of what they do in the passing game,

883
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 1: but that trickled down effect. Corey Davis A J. Brown

884
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: two guys that you should be looking to pick up

885
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire. I picked up Davis in one

886
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: of my league's just I had a gut feeling and

887
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: it ended up panning out. He had over twenty Fantasy points.

888
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: So those Johnny Smith, right, Delanne Watson, So Johnny Smith

889
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: is another guy. So yeah, sometimes you know, we want

890
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: those backup quarterbacks or the older veteran guys to be

891
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: the placeholders in those on those teams because for our purposes,

892
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: they make the players around them statistically better. I mean,

893
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: the thing about tanne Hills that he at least is

894
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: willing to take shots downfield, which is something mar Marcus

895
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: Mariotta just would not do. On that touchdown, I think

896
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: it was the Corey Davis. It was a pretty tight window,

897
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: and Marcus Mariotta would have never tried this, never would

898
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: have tried that. So at least Ryan Tannehill gives us

899
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of hope there. Jamal Williams still out there.

900
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: I think he's only owned on NFL dot Com in

901
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: like eight team percent of league or something, something really

902
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: really very low. He's getting snaps, he's getting touches, he's

903
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: getting into the end zone, folks. So you know, look,

904
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is still doing good things, not even being

905
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: a workhorse. If these guys should be on rosters, and

906
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: I think in certain situations, both these guys are startable.

907
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: Right now, Kenny Stills is back and healthy, and again

908
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: with Will Fuller out and you know, we'll see how

909
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: long he's out if his hamstring injury lingers, Kenny Stills

910
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: kind of becomes the deep threat in that offense. And

911
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: you talk about guys wanted to take shots downfield, Deshaun

912
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: Watson will throw the ball downfield. There the Steelers defense

913
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: because they got the Dolphins next and you can pick

914
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 1: them up right now, you don't get right now because

934
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: a little pizza in a black and decker machine and

935
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,200

941
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: ever been by way, if you ever like. For those

942
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: of us who live around here, the the Twin Pines

943
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 1: Mall is just off the sixties the freeway in Hassiena Heights,

944
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: and then nick Fly Residents is also somewhere close to

945
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: us as well. There is no photo mat in the

946
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: parking lot, which I don't think anybody under the age

947
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 1: of thirty knows what a photo map is anymore, no clue,

948
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: so I know we're getting off tracks there whatever. The

949
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: podcast almost over. A photo mat is a place that

950
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: when you use when people still had actual cameras with

951
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: actual film in them, you would take it to what

952
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: is basical was basically a hut in a parking lot.

953
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: Usually get a mall or strip mall or something like that,

954
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: and you would just drive up to this little hut

955
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: and you would hand your film to the person in

956
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: the hut and then like you'd come back several days

957
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: later and your photos would be developed. Basically, it was

958
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: just a drive through for photo developed. I know you're

959
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're you're more a recent you know

960
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: you're a millennial, but yeah, Marcus that I remember distinctly

961
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: that there was one of those in a Caldor parking lot.

962
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't even know what Caldor is.

963
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: Cal I don't think it really is that, right, do

964
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: you remember now you're young, Yeah, Caldor is like Bradley's. No,

965
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: it's Bradley. No. They're like, well they're they're like they're

966
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: they used to be. That's like target basically, Yeah, that

967
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: might have been regional thing anymore. It was Kmart in

968
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: Connects Kmart, you had Calder and then you had Bradley's. No,

969
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: I think those are regional. I don't know. I don't

970
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't know any of those. But I'm really old.

971
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 1: I do know when i'd go and get film developed,

972
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: like when I was a kid, or i'd be with

973
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: my mom or something we'd always go to like Walgreens

974
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: or like one of those pharmacies that are just you know,

975
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: the major change. You can still do that. You could

976
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: still do that. I've never heard of it. You can

977
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: still do that at the like at right Aid and

978
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: CVS or whatever. But yeah, I know, like photo Matt

979
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: was basically just took that part of the right aid

980
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 1: and just put it in a hut in the parking lot.

981
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: And interest you just drove up and handed your film

982
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 1: had this ugly rainbow looking thing. It was like brown,

983
