At the end of the enner, 49 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: Sandman plays, I like that, Marianna Rivera, Let's do it. 50 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: I'm a James Ingo. Remember you can always submit your 51 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: questions and find the latest fantasy news by following us 52 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: at NFL Fantasy or on the Wings of Fantasy Love. 53 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: According to Elias jeffer Oh, that's right time now for 54 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: some fantasy headlines. We kick things off in Green Bays. 55 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: Packers head coach Mike McCarthy announced that Aaron Rodgers has 56 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: not been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. 57 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: He was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but as 58 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: yet to be medically clear to play. Rogers said his 59 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: strength is coming back, as is the range of motion, 60 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: but the risk of re injury. That is the hurdle 61 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: to return. So if they're without Aaron Rodgers this week, fab, 62 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: what do you do? As far as Packers wide receivers. 63 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson to me is no more than a low 64 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: end to a high end three, A flex starter because 65 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: there's risk there. It's a good matchup in terms of 66 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: Jared Boykin no catches last week, no face points. That 67 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: makes it tough to start him. James Jones the same thing. 68 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: The only player in Green band that I have any 69 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: confidence in is Eddie Lacy. Can Are you okay with 70 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: any lazy this week? Yeah? I am okay with it. 71 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: He didn't have a good game against the Lions, but 72 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: they had no threat of a passing attack. The Falcons 73 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: don't have the defensive front that Detroit does. Jason, there's 74 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: no reason not to mention Eddie Lacy is playing at home. 75 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: You absolutely start him. He's the best weapon the Packers had. 76 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: What did Fred Jackson and C. J. Spiller do Atlanta 77 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: last week? Destroyed team. That's why you stick with Eddie 78 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: Lacy all right. On Tuesday, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told 79 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: the media, look, I apolot No, Duck talked about lady 80 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: On Bell and said that his return thus far has 81 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: been very positive. Of Bell suffering a concussion in last 82 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: Thursday's game against the Ravens. Still progressing through the least 83 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: incussion protocol, but it does look good. Here's the thing. 84 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: If Levian Bell passes his test and he plays, he 85 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: plays for you. He's been the best running back in 86 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: fantasy the last three weeks. Moving on to San Francisco, 87 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: Vernon Davis and the Niners looking for a statement game 88 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: this weekend when they look to avenge that three throttling 89 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,559 Speaker 1: the Seahawks but on him in week two. Davis, quoted 90 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: by the San Jose Mercury News, is saying, quote, anytime 91 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: you play a team and you lose, the next opportunity 92 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: you get to play them again, It's definitely a statement game. 93 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: It might be the most intense game of the season 94 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: because those guys don't like us and we don't like them. 95 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: So what are your expectations for him this week? By 96 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: my expectations are, that's gonna be one heck of a 97 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: football game. Vernon Davis is a guy you have to start. 98 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: How many tight ends in the league can you trust 99 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,799 Speaker 1: from a fantasy respective. With that being said, the matchups 100 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: awful and he does not have a good history against Seattle. 101 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: I am still playing in. As for Michael Crabtree, I 102 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: was impressed with what he was able to do in 103 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: his first game back from achilles surgery, but I don't 104 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: think I could trust him right now. Elliott, I don't 105 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: like the matchup and Crabtree just doesn't have his football 106 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: leagues under him just yet. Yeah. I agree, he's gonna 107 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: have Sherman on him. Okay, you don't want Richard Sherman 108 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: on you. Vernon Davis in fourteen career games has three 109 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: touchdowns and forty two catches. Those are not good numbers. 110 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: You need more production than that. I like ant Kwan 111 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: Bolden because I think an't Kwan Bolden is going to 112 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: be exploit the Seahawks the rest of that secondary. I think, 113 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: can't Kwan Bolden get you double digit points this week? 114 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: He's a sleeper this week, alright, big sleeper an Kwan Boldin. 115 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: How about Mike Wallace. He was quoted telling the media 116 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: after the team's win against the Jets this weekend, I'm 117 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: a great player. I know that. It's all that really matters. 118 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: Let's call a spade a spade. All right. Wallace does 119 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: have twelve catches for two nine yards two touchdowns in 120 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: the past two weeks. But can you trust Mike Wallace 121 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: enough this week to play in fas they're finally in 122 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: sync or are they not in sync? That's the question. 123 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: Lately they have been in sync and I would play 124 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: him as a three. But I still have my reservations 125 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: about Mike Wallace, especially in this matchup in Pittsburgh. You 126 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: know that as much as he's gonna be gunning for 127 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: his old team, his old team is going to be 128 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: gunning for him to You guys, are all I ever wanted. 129 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: Steelers can't get any pass rush. They can't get any 130 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: pass dress and that's the Dolphins Achilles heel is their 131 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: pass protection. Well, if you can't exploit that, then Tannehill 132 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: is gonna have time to throw. I think Mike Wallace 133 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: with the motivation ten point game alright, time for us 134 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: to say bye bye bye and throw it over to 135 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: Molly Carram and Marcus Grant. Wow, a little in sync 136 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: reference there, Thank you gentlemen here with NFL dot Com 137 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: Fantasy editor Marcus Grant. Time now to take a look 138 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: at the top player ads on NFL dot com for 139 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: a week fourteen. Who are owners grabbing off waivers? Marcus 140 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: I like to call this the hotter not list and 141 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: taking a look here. One name that jumps out at 142 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: me is Julian Edelman. No surprise, he's passed Danny Amundel 143 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: on the depth chart and he matched dro off Gronkowski 144 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: for twelve targets the team lead on Sundays. Yeah, and 145 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, believe this or not, eleven red zone receptions 146 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: this season. That is tied for third most in the 147 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: National Football League. So not only is he getting the football, 148 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: he's getting it when it really counts. He's had a 149 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: hundred or more receiving yards in back to back football games. 150 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: I know we've struggled trying to figure out who the 151 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: top targets in New England, aren't we know? Rob Gronkowski 152 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: is number one. Julian Edelman has become the receiver that 153 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: we all thought that Danny Amndola was going to be. 154 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: This is the guy that you want to pick up 155 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: and have on your roster. He's owned in just over 156 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: leagues on NFL dot Com. He's still out there for 157 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people. We'll talk about one of his 158 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: teammates in just a minute, Michael Floyd moving on to Arizona, 159 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: He's really emerged as a true go to guy for 160 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer at this point. He absolutely has. I mean, 161 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: we know Larry Fitzgerald is still the number one receiver 162 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: at least in name in Arizona, but Michael Floyd has 163 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: stepped up play very well. Ninety five or more receiving 164 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: yards in three straight games. Plus he's getting yards in 165 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: chunks twenty one plus yards for reception over the last month. 166 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: That second best in the National Football League. As Carson 167 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: Palmer has stopped turning the football over, he's connecting more 168 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: with his receivers, and Michael Floyd has become a bona 169 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: fide playmaker. He does have tough matchups at Tennessee in 170 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: Seattle Week's fifteen in sixteen, though, speaking of tough, let's 171 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: get to most drop players on NFL dot Com for 172 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: Week fourteen and looking at this list. Percy Harvin Marcus 173 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: since his Florida Day's we talked about this yesterday in 174 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: the show. He's just been plagued by medical ailments. He 175 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: just had a hit procedure. Can we trust him? I 176 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: don't know that I trust Percy Harvin, and I know 177 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: that's hard to say because a lot of people either 178 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: drafted him at the very end of their drafts or 179 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: picked him up and stashed him off the waiver wire. 180 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: At this point, it's hard to plug him in your lineup. 181 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: And I know you tried to exercise patients and that 182 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: sort of thing, but he has one chech all year. 183 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: He waited all you long to get on the field, 184 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: and as you mentioned the hip procedure, it's just really 185 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: tough to trust, and especially with some very difficult matchups 186 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: coming down the stretch. Stephen Ridley, we mentioned a Patriots, 187 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: a teammate of Julian Edelman being mentioned. Yes, he is 188 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: on the drop list, and we know one thing for sure, 189 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick cannot stand a man who can't hold onto 190 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: the ball. We call this fumbling glows, yes we do. 191 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: And because he is dropping the ball, a lot of 192 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: fantasy owners are dropping him. It's at this point that 193 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: maybe you don't drop him, depending on the depth of 194 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: your league, but you're at least putting him on the 195 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: bench just because you have no idea what's going on 196 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: with that running back situation, Shane Vereen has become the 197 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: guy to trust there in New England. If you're a 198 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: fantasy owner, I just don't know that you can put 199 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: Stephen Ridley in your line up with any confidence dropping 200 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: the ball literally in figuratively. Absolutely you you, my friend, 201 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: never stilly. Come on NFL Fantasy Live.

Molly Carral joined by 215 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: the usual suspects Michael Fabiano Elliott Harrison. Time for a 216 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: little Tina preview. We've got the Texans heading to jack 217 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: Sinville to take on a suddenly surging Jaguars, who are 218 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: winners of three of their last four games under new 219 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: head coach Guests Bradley. Let's break down the matchup from 220 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, and we're gonna begin with the Texans here, guys, 221 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: and you're expecting double digit points from from all of them? 222 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: I know, is that shocking? It's a bit shocking, shocking. 223 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: We're almost in lockstep. I've got vent take a little 224 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: bit higher than you though, Febs, Yeah, you do. And 225 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: the Jaguars have been better against the running lately, but 226 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: overall not very good, especially on their home field. Case Keenom, 227 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: I think can have a good game. I'm not saying 228 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: I'm on the start case Kingdom in most fantasy start 229 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 1: this is a good matchup. Let's get into a player 230 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: by player, starting with case Gadom. He bounced back from 231 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: his nightmare to Week twelve effort, but he struggled last 232 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: time against the Jacks. He did, and again I still 233 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: like this matchup. Look what look the Cleveland Browns did 234 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: last week From a quarterback position. Brandon Weed had a 235 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: very strong game. From a fantasy perspective, I think Keenom 236 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: could have a good game. And remember we've seen a 237 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: lot of these young quarterbacks put up some pretty good 238 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: number is Nick Foles comes to mind, of course, and 239 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: keen him earlier on in the season. I think he's 240 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: acquitted himself pretty well. Michael, and I mean, who can't 241 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: get excited about keenum Henny. I mean that's like stall 242 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: back Bradshaw. Oh yeah, just like it at all. But 243 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: this is a fantasy show. Ben take dealing with a 244 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: ribbon ankle injury. What can we expect from him in 245 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: this matchup? I like Ben taiting. This came a little 246 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: more than Michael and I think, really the difference for 247 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: me is just the touchdowns. He's had cracked ribs now 248 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: for several weeks, but he had twenty two carries for 249 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: over a hundred yards against New England. I mean they're 250 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: not The workload is not the problem. That's what I'm saying. 251 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: You're saying that the matchup is a little stiffer than 252 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I get it, But just from a carry standpoint, 253 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: I like him. I still like him. He is going 254 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: to be a lowand RV two or reflex in just 255 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: about every league. This week, guys, let's take a look 256 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: at Andre Johnson's numbers this season with case Keenum under center. 257 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: It's important to note that all five of Johnson's touchdowns 258 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: this year have come with Keenum at quarterback. Also, in 259 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: about six games with Keenum at the helm, Johnson has 260 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: eighty six point nine Fantasy points while only having fifty 261 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: five point four Fantasy points with match shop in t J. 262 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: Yates playing QB. So what are we expecting from the 263 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: future Hall of pamer Well, This is deceiving. Yes, he 264 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: has five touchdowns with komt quarterback, but he's only scored 265 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: in two games. You have three in one game. With 266 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: that being said, you're still starting on the even if 267 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: he's a low end two, and the PPR league is 268 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: going to have more value Andre Johnson. To me, Elliott 269 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: is too valuable to bench unless I have got say, 270 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon and alshon Jeffrey right and and here's the thing, 271 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: And even then if you play him in your flex, 272 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: because how many good running backs are there to go around? 273 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: Here's the deal, and I have the numbers right here, 274 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: eighty two catches eleven hundred yards and five touchdowns eighty 275 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: two catches for eleven hundred yards. Sometimes we expect a 276 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: little bit too much of these guys. There's no way, 277 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: you said, Andre Johnson, I get it with the five 278 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: touchdowns in two games. But what if he has a 279 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: ten yards for you? No touchdowns? You got? You got it. 280 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: Don't get crazy, start your steads. All right, Let's look 281 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: at the other side of this matchup. Chad Henny through 282 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: two t d s and the win last week versus 283 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: the Browns. It was the first time all season he'd 284 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: thrown for more than one in a game. So let's 285 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: look at your projections here for the rest of Jacksonville. 286 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: The thing that stands out to me the most here fabs. 287 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: You're very high on m j D while Elliot's liking 288 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: Cecil Shorts. So let's get into a gentleman start with 289 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: the Jacks starting quarterback Elliott jat Henny. Yeah, you know, 290 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: it's it's hard for me to recommend you playing Chad Henny. 291 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: If you want me to be positive, Perry, I'll try. 292 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 1: He had a huge game against the Texans last year. 293 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: When I mean a huge game, I mean a huge 294 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 1: game four touchdowns and gobs of yardage. But here's the thing. 295 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: The guys throwing ten interceptions this year. He's got more 296 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: interceptions and touchdowns those minus two is kirchen fantasy, Michael, 297 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: I just can't see any way to recommend two people 298 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: in the playoffs to play Chad Henny unless it's a 299 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: Chad Henny only league. I would be sitting Chad Henny. 300 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: But we all want gobs of yardage. Elliott Harrison, Alright, 301 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: m j D. He did it all Sunday. He's had 302 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: his best two games. Will we do it again against 303 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: the Texas. Hey, I'm gonna be a positive Perry, not 304 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: a negative Nancy, and tell you this start. Maurice Jones drew. 305 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: The last time he played in the Houston Texans, he 306 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: had well over a hundred scrimmage yards and over twenty 307 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: fantasy points. Hey, listen. After a slow start, m j 308 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: D has actually been one of the more consistent fantasy 309 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: running backs in the National Football League. Stardom and startom 310 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: with confidence. He will give you gobs and gobs of yards. 311 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: Marvel Less Molly here wants to know fabs cecil shorts 312 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: limited by a coroin. What can we expect from him. 313 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: Cecil Shorts, to me, is going to be a guy 314 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: who will score seven or eight fantasy points. I don't 315 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: love the matchup. The last time he played against Houston, 316 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: he had right around seven points. Great game last week 317 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: against Joe Hayden, one of the best cover corners of 318 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: the National Football League. But I just don't trust Cecil 319 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: Shorts enough to play him as more than a third 320 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: white out this week in a PPR lead see. I 321 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: think Houston is gonna stack up against the run. That's 322 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: why I don't have m j D having the monster points. 323 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: I think he gets ad something yards rushing. The difference 324 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: between Michael and my pet projections are the touchdowns. I 325 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: think they're gonna stack up against the run and Cecil 326 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: Shorts gets the touchdown that you're giving to m j D. 327 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: Either way, I think you start both.

Jason Smith here alongside 351 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: our own Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano, and every 352 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: Wednesday you reveal all your stars that sits for the week. 353 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: A big week, likely the first week of your playoffs. 354 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: So let's start with the quarterbacks four week four team. 355 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: These are Michael Fabiano's recommendations. Matthew Stafford Nick Foles as 356 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: close to a must starter as you can get. R 357 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: G three on this list. Ryan Fitzpatrick your sleep alert, 358 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: Josh McCown and you know fas Nick Foles. Every day 359 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: he gets some good news. Always a quarterback for this season, 360 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: quarterback for next year, this week he's your quarterback. Yeah, 361 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: and the quarterback for the next thousand years. I guess 362 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Eagles, they must have some core, some 363 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: sort of deal where they have long life. I guess 364 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: in the quarterback position there in phil Aadelphia. Two plus 365 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: fantasy points in four straight games playing against the Detroit Lions. 366 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: They have allowed eight passing touchdowns in their last three 367 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: road games. Jason, this is going to be a shootout. 368 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 1: Whether it's two thousand thirteen or a thousand years from now, 369 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm starting Nick Foles. When Boba Fette crawls out of 370 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: the star like stomach, Nick Foles will still be the 371 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: quarterback of the and he will be starting in my 372 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: fantasy league, all right. Andrew Luck who was starting for 373 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: you most of the season, but me this week in 374 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: our Expert League playoffs. He's having a seat for me. 375 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: He's having a seat for you. Yeah, listen, this is 376 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: an awful match up against the Bengals. They have allowed 377 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: the second fewest fantasy points of quarterbacks on their home field. 378 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: Three touchdown passes, nine interceptions at home. That's what the 379 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: Bengals have allowed. Luck has been unlucky without Reggie Wayne 380 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: with offensive line issues. You can't play him at this point. 381 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: He's not playing at home, he's not playing well. He 382 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: doesn't have a good matchup. That's three strikes exactly. I'm 383 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: sitting Andrew Luck for Ryan Fitzpatrick in the playoffs this week, 384 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: and I think that's the right move. Thank you. I 385 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: appreciate you for packing me up on that. I appreciate that. FABS, 386 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: all right, here's FABS running backs here, Marco Murray, Eddie Lacey, 387 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: Maurice Jones, Drew Stephen Jack some sleeper alert, Bobby Rainy 388 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 1: against Buffalo. Yes, C J. Spill are getting a lot 389 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: of the attention here, but Rady's got a great match 390 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,239 Speaker 1: against the Bills. Considering what this guy did against them 391 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: a week ago. You're saying start Stephen Jackson. Finally right, 392 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: We're finally able to start Steven Jackson after a very 393 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: long season Packers this week. It's a great matchup. They've 394 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,479 Speaker 1: allowed the fourth most fancy points to running guys over 395 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: the last four weeks. Jackson has three rushing touchdowns in 396 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: his last two games. The Falcons are starting to find 397 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: some success on the ground, even with a questionable offensive line. 398 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: And again, the matchup is just two good of ignore 399 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: even if he should reflex, Jason, you're starting Steven Jackson. 400 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: Now you're saying sit Frank Bore? Is this a straight 401 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: sit for him this week? For you? You would have 402 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: to be very deep in your backfield to be able 403 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: to bench him, especially if you have a flex. But 404 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: this matchup is just absolutely terrible to Seahawks have a 405 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: lot the seventh fewest fantasy points to running backs this 406 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: season and no rushing touchdowns in five straight games. And 407 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: if you look at Gore, his track record against Seattle 408 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: is not good. One rushing touchdown and his last seven 409 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: games against those Seahawks. So this is a very very 410 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: tough matchup. I would start Bobby Rainey over Frank Gore. 411 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: Not a lot of Niners in general didn't have great 412 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: matchups against the Seattle Seat at all, even the defense. Yes, 413 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: beware the forty Niners this week. Let's get to the 414 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: wide receivers now, Fab says, Vincent Jackson is a go, 415 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: Pierre Garson is a go. Wiley Cooper against Detroit Lions. 416 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: Harry Douglas, you're a sleeper. Here's Tory Smith, FABS, and 417 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: we kind of forget about him flying to the radar 418 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: some of these other bigger name wide receivers. But he's 419 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: got a phenomenal matchup. He's having a career here and 420 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: he's got a great matchup, as you mentioned, against the Vikings. 421 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: They have allowed the fourth most fantasy points to wide 422 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: receivers this season twenty six receiving touchdowns allowed. That's the 423 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: most in the National Football League. Joe Flacco's main guy, 424 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: Tory Smith. You see him here making a great catch. 425 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: He really burned Ike Taylor last week, and I think 426 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna do the same to Minnesota's defensive backfield this Sunday. 427 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: On the other side of the ledger, Steve Smith is 428 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: a said it's been tough to start Steve Smith most 429 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: of the year. It has been this guy was once 430 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: a Fantasy superstar. Now he's more of a Fantasy zero. 431 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: The Saints have allowed the fifth est fantasy points to 432 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: wide receivers at home this year as well. So not 433 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: only is Steve Smith struggling to produce, but the matchup 434 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: Jason is not favorable whatsoever. Right moving on to the 435 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: tight ends, you're playing plug and play this week more 436 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: so than the last couple of weeks, because there's some 437 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: guys that are probably still available in your league that 438 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: are very good matchup based starters. Jared Cook sleep alert 439 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: for FABS Brandon Myers. At San Diego Week one, FABS 440 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: Jared Cook looked like he was going to be the 441 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: best tight end in the league, and he's been quiet 442 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: all the way until now. But he's got that rematch. 443 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: The Cardinals have just been so bad and Cook starting 444 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: to heat up two touchdowns in his last four games. 445 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: Arizona has given up the most Fantasy points of tight ends. 446 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: They've given up the most receiving yards, They've given up 447 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: the most touchdowns. Look at what zach Ertz and Brent 448 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 1: selected to them last week. It's every single week at 449 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: tight end is beating up on the Arizona Cardinals, So 450 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: why not start Jared Cooking? You know what, Jason, He's 451 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: available in a lot of leagues. On NFL dot Com, 452 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: people dropped him. I picked him up this week and 453 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: start him unless I had an elite option. Alright, Jordan 454 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: Cameron used to be an e lead option. You're starting 455 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: one of these guys over Cameron this Jared cook no 456 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: doubt about that. Hey, Jordan Cameron had a good matchup 457 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: last week. I said to start them. It didn't work out. 458 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: One touchdown in his last eight games. The Patriots have 459 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: allowed the third theist fantasy points of tight ends on 460 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: their home field. I don't know who the quarterback is 461 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: going to be in Cleveland, but it's not going to matter. 462 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: Jordan Cameron, who is a superstar early on in the season, 463 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: he has done a one eighties statistically to the point 464 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: where you can't even play him. Yeah, that's one thing 465 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: we've seen. It doesn't matter who was throwing the football 466 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: to Josh Gordon, he still makes plays. Jordan Cameron. If 467 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: it wasn't Brandon Weeden early, he's not going to give 468 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: you any kind of production. A couple of defenses we 469 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: like for this week, starting with the new England Patriots 470 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: number one rated defense. We have right now on NFL 471 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: dot Com. A phenomenal matchup. Yeah, Cleveland's offense very lately 472 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: is turning the ball over and this is just a 473 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: phenomenal matchup for the Patriots. Now. I like the Patriots. 474 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 1: Last week. They didn't have a very good game against Houston, 475 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: but they're back at home this week. I still like 476 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: the matchup the Open Raiders. You haven't mentioned them at 477 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: all this week playing them against the Jets. You've been 478 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: very quiet about that, haven't said it on the show once. Well, 479 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: you know why because I feel I feel bad because 480 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: I take shots to the Jets so often. But I'll 481 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: take the time to do that right now. Whatever defense 482 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: is playing the Jets, you start. Then. Over the last 483 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: three weeks, teams are averaging over fifteen Fantasy points a 484 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: game playing against the New York Jets. We saw what 485 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: happened with the Dolphins, the Ravens the week before the Bills, 486 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: the game before even the Raiders. We are saying to 487 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: start against Geno Smith and that offenseless team in New York. 488 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: Sorry about that. That's no, You've said. Everything you said 489 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: has been the truth. That's what I like that. Give 490 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: me the truth, the truth, Smith, I speak the truth. 491 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: I'm not sure about the Jacoby Ells.

Let's take a look at some of those names, 502 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: and there are a number of quarterbacks. If you are 503 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: looking for a guy to play this week, perhaps Ryan Fitzpatrick, 504 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: Alex Smith has been killing it over the last couple 505 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: of weeks. Donald Brown has been good, Michael Floyd, Bobby 506 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: Woods is a personal favorite of mine and the Raiders defense. 507 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: But let's start with another quarterback, and that's Josh mccount 508 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: of the Chicago Bears. You look at the match of 509 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have allowed the second most fantasy points of 510 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 1: quarterbacks this season. They've allowed five touchdown passes in their 511 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: last two games against the Bears and have allowed three 512 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty passing yards in two consecutive games. So 513 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: this is a great matchup for Josh mccount and of course, 514 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 1: if Jay Cutler does return to play for the Chicago Bears, 515 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: what I said about Josh McCown goes double for him. 516 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: Let's move on to the running backs, and Monty Ball 517 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: is a nice player there. Out of Denver, the Titans 518 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: allowed the six most fantasy points to running backs this season. 519 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: They've also allowed sixteen rushing touchdowns this season, that second 520 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: most in the NFL. And if you watched the Broncos 521 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: of late, you know that Monty Ball has a nose 522 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: for the end zone. He has been somebody who has 523 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: been known to take a carry from No Shawan Morino 524 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: here or there. So Monty Ball is a guy that 525 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: you can flex this week and feel pretty confident with. Now, 526 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: do you need a wide receiver? How about Rod Streeter? 527 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: It might be funny to think, but New Raiders quarterback 528 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: Matt McGloin knows a guy and the guy he knows 529 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: is Rod Street. Or if you look at and If 530 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: you look at the matchup, the Jets have allowed the 531 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: six most fantasy points a wide receiver this season. They've 532 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: allowed at least two touchdown passes and four their last five. 533 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: And they're the Jets. They don't stop anybody. So that 534 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 1: is a pretty good matchup and that is gonna do 535 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: it this week for Ranks eleven.

One of the 559 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: hottest names you just meant and that is trending right 560 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: now on Fantasy Genius is Cam Newton. What are your 561 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: expectations for him the next couple of weeks? Well, I 562 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be tough the next couple of weeks. 563 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: But two of his next three games are His next 564 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: three games were against the New Orleans Saints, who have 565 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: been fantastic defensively this season, and he generally hasn't played 566 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: well against the Saints in his career. You know, it's 567 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: hard to imagine you've got a better option on your 568 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: roster than Cam Newton. But if you're playing him, just 569 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: temper your expectations. Cookies and cream, Marcus. I agree with 570 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: you completely, but I disagree with you on not having 571 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: better roster options. People that took Cam high were able 572 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: to swing back around and get Matt Stafford, Tony Romo 573 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: or Matt Ryan. I wouldn't play Matt Ryan, but I'd 574 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: play Romo or Stafford over Cam Newton, Who's who historically 575 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: has not been good at the super Dome, but in 576 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: reality playing his best football this season at nine and 577 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: three's best rusher maybe on that team. Alright, guys, it's 578 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: time now for Engineer to win. Presented by Volkswagen. You 579 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: know what we do. We put one thirty on the clock. 580 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: We let it RiPP go through as many fantasy genius 581 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: questions as we hand submitted by the fans. You're ready, Yeah, 582 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: Number one, better start Kim Newton against the Saints or 583 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: Nick Foles versus the Lions. I'm going with Nick Foles. 584 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: The Lion secondary is beat up. I think he can 585 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: he can exploit that I create. It's just a better 586 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: matchup form period. I'll take Nick Foals Tony Gonzalez against 587 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: the Packers or Kobe Fleaner versus the Bengals. I don't 588 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: like Kobe Flinner. I didn't like him last week. It's 589 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: not that I don't like him personally. Tony Gonzalez versus 590 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: the Packers to me is a better matchup Tony. I 591 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: imagine Fleiner is a very nice fellow. I actually like 592 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: him a little bit. I think the fun is gonna 593 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: start working to a lolo in there, and it's gonna 594 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: really mess up Gonzalez. Start time for emotions this week 595 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: fourteen disappointment. I'm going Ben Taate. I know you like 596 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: Ben Tait this week, Elliot, but I think Ben take 597 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: could get pulled the favor of Dennis Johnson at some point. 598 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Adrian Peterson. I know that people are 599 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: relying on him to get him Fantasy points, getting twenty 600 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: Fantasy points for their playoff matchup. I think Gadrian Peterson's 601 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: gonna be more around the twelve four teen market. Best 602 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: better start Giovanni Bernard or Zach Stacy. I'll go Gio 603 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: Bernard Man I don't like exact Stacy's matchup. Yeah, same exactly, 604 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: and I'm going with you over this week. The biggest 605 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: Week fourteen surprise, I think the biggest week four teen, 606 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: surprise r G three against that Chiefs defense that's struggling. 607 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: Kwenden Sherman will be on crabtree. I'm telling you An 608 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: Kwan Bold right now, over ten fantasy points getting crazy 609 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: this week, I still in the blank, will have more 610 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: than from a thirty fantasy point. I'm going r G 611 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: three again. I think I think he goes big against 612 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: the Chiefs this week. Well, I'm saying nobody, no one 613 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: gets over twenty five fantasy about that shock better start 614 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: Eric Decker, all Shan Jeffrey all Sean Jeffrey. Dude's been 615 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: on fire lately. I agree with that completely, and it 616 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: doesn't matter who's throwing to it. It does not. We 617 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: see his catch against the Vikings and one that was 618 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: as good as the Tyreek, and he has a good 619 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: matchup this week. He does, he does, secondary can't stop anybody. 620 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: We were challenged to get through as many questions as 621 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: we could this week. You know we're falling off our 622 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: a game, but I think we did it. We ripped 623 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: through those. We do Marcus First, Elliotts analysis, No, but 624 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: please give them in some breathing room, all right. That 625 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: was engineered to win. Presented by Volkswagen and let's throw 626 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: it over to FABS, who's joined by a very special guest. 627 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: Thanks guys, Michael Fabiano here joined by Vikings wide receiver 628 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: and two time Pro bowler Greg Jennings. How you doing, 629 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: my man? I'm doing great. How about it? So I'm 630 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: doing well? Good to see it. Now. The Vikings have 631 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: dealt with a lot of injuries at the quarterback position 632 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: this season, with Christian Ponder in and out. Now, do 633 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: you know who the starting quarterback is going to be 634 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: this weekend in Baltimore? I believe it's going to be 635 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: Matt Um. It's with the way they have the concussion 636 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: rules and all the tests you have to pass. Um, 637 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: you know it'll be a long shot, probably for Christian. 638 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,959 Speaker 1: But you know, I don't get the nod on that. 639 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: I don't I don't dictate who plays quarterbacks, so uh 640 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: but that's a guess, just a guest. So with the quarterback, 641 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: with the quarterback sort of coming in and out of 642 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: the starting lineup this season, has it been hard for 643 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: you and the rest of the wide receivers to gain 644 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: a rep or with the signal callers on your roster. No, 645 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: not at all. It's been it's been a little bit 646 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: of a challenge. It's been a little bit of a challenge, 647 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: but um, you know, every season has his adversities and 648 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: this has been one that we've had to overcome this year. UM. 649 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: Hopefully we corrected so that it's not an ongoing thing 650 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: from for years to come. But UM, it's definitely been 651 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,719 Speaker 1: one that we've overcome. And you know, it's been growing, 652 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,239 Speaker 1: it's been growing pains throughout it, but um, we were 653 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: able to get a win this past week. Now, let's 654 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,719 Speaker 1: talk about Adrian Peterson. You played against him for so 655 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: many years with the Green Bay Packers. How does it 656 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: feel to have this guy in your offense now? It 657 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: feels great obviously when you played against a guy that's 658 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: as explosive and that can make as many plays as 659 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: he can. Um, he would love to be partners and 660 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: team up with the guy like that, and I've had 661 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: that opportunity. UM. I wish that I could hold up 662 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: my end of the bargain a little bit more, but 663 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: he's definitely he's definitely held up his end of the bargain. 664 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: They're giving your thoughts on Cordelle Patterson. Can he become 665 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: an elite wide receiver? Both in fantasy and in the 666 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: National Football League Absolutely, absolutely, no doubt. Um, it's just 667 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: about getting the ball in his hands and allowing them 668 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: to make plays. But he definitely can become an elite receiver. 669 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: Now I'm friends with your kicker, Blair Walsh. We text 670 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: all the time talk fantasy football. He's big time into fantasy. Now, 671 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: I know you still don't play, which I'm gonna try 672 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: to get you play in fantasy football, even if it's 673 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: after you're done playing in the NFL, because it's so 674 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: much fun. Do you know of any other teammates that 675 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: play fantasy football, or any of the guys in the 676 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: league or into fantasy like Blair's, Well, I have played, 677 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: but um, I know Toby, Toby Gerard. He he definitely plays. 678 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: And I guess see the kickers all have this the 679 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: time on their hands. So Jeff Hockey plays, you know 680 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: Blair and not doing it, And you probably are texting 681 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: them during practice too, practice for the first twenty minut 682 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: is and then they have the rest of the day off. 683 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: See now that when Blair's texting me, the rest of 684 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: you guys are practicing, and he's kind of figuring out 685 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: who's going to start exactly exactly. He's probably winning and 686 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: winning in all this fantasy lad. I know, I know 687 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: he's doing pretty well. He's got a pretty good set 688 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: of wide receivers on one of those teams. Hey, Greg, 689 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us here on NFL 690 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: Fantasy Live and good luck this week.

End it end so but 702 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: a touchdown what I catched by markets post Palmer throws 703 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: absolutely perfect. Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live, the official 704 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: fantasy football show of the National Football League. Jason Smith 705 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: here now all with all the guys. And it was 706 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: when the movie cool as Ice came out and Vanilla 707 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: Ice gave us the immortal line, dropped the zero and 708 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: get with the hero So because we're not about the 709 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: whole reason, we're doing just because we're doing heroes and zeros. 710 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: That's what we're doing here. Fantasy playoffs. Zeros. Guys may 711 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: have been good season so far, but we're gonna underperforming 712 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: the Fantasy playoffs, and guys who have kind of flown 713 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: under the radar but are now gonna be fantasy heroes 714 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: for you as you get to the Fantasy playoffs. So 715 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: first up, fabs, check out the hook on Andrew Luck 716 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: WI my DJ revolves it. I can't even spot I'm 717 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: going with the Andrew Luck. I don't even know what 718 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: you just said. I just think the matchups don't look 719 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: good for Andrew Luck. He's got a bad one this 720 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: weekend Sincinnati, then he's playing at Kansas City and Fantasy 721 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: Championship Week decent one into tweet at home against the 722 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: Houston Texas. But Andrew Look has two touchdown passes and 723 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: five picks in his last four games. He has seriously 724 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: seen his numbers decrease. I can't even come up with 725 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,479 Speaker 1: a line from a Vanilla Ice song, Jason, I'm gonna 726 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: have to lean on. But the fact of the matter 727 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: here is that Andrew Look is going to be a zero. 728 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: All right. I got you covered the rag tops down 729 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: so my hair can blow on. Carson Palmer, he's been 730 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. It's a line from the song. 731 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,919 Speaker 1: He's been pretty good in the last couple of weeks. 732 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,439 Speaker 1: But the Rams what they do best, They get after 733 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: the quarterback. They sack him and they get interceptions. Carson 734 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: Palmer's got a tough matchup this week, and it just 735 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: gets tough, tougher, toughest. This is the main reason why 736 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: I don't like Carson Palmer St. Louis then at Tennessee 737 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: at Seattle. As good as he's been, I can't start 738 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: him with any confidence this week and moving on in 739 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: the Fantasy playoffs, right, Elliott, give me your A one 740 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: a Detroit Avenue. Well, I tell you I will. I 741 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: made you Vanilla I's mix tape. See what you see here, 742 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: Say a little Marcus Coulson, a little Lance more music. 743 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: I don't like any of these guys are playing the 744 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,240 Speaker 1: Panthers twice and sandwiched in between the Rams, the Rams 745 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 1: are gonna be playing at home. They give up about 746 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: two pass yards a game and under two touchdowns a 747 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: game that means you're Saints. Touchdown is probably gonna go 748 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: to Jimmy Graham and maybe if they get another one, 749 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: maybe like Pierre Thomas. But you don't want to start 750 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: Kenny Stills or Lance Moore, Marcus Colston when you really 751 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: need to win when they're playing the Panthers, Rams and 752 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: Panthers again. All right, the girl he's on standby waiting 753 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: just to say, hi, Marcus Grant, you don't like Marshawn Lynch. Now, 754 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: then I stopped. No, I just rolled by, And then 755 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch has been fantastic all season long. You know, 756 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: I can't in good conscience tell you to sit him, 757 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: but I will tell you to temperate your expectations and 758 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: schedules like a chemical spill. He's got the forty Niners, 759 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: He's got the Cardinals coming up in the next few weeks. 760 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: It's not a very good look for Marshawn Lynch. Stop 761 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: that train. I want to get off. All right, Let's 762 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: take a look at our fantasy playoff zeros to recap again. 763 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: These are guys that are pretty good regular seasons, but 764 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: now looking forward, really tough matchups. We don't like Andrew Luck, 765 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer, any Saints wide receiver, Marshall Lynch to give 766 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: you big fantasy points going forward. So now we're dropping 767 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: the zeros and now we're gonna get with the heroes. 768 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: We'll talk about the players that will emerge this year 769 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: as fantasy playoff heroes. And the thing is, we've been 770 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: talking about this vanilla ice thing all morning, and still 771 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 1: Fatis gets thrown off by the slightest widow lines though. 772 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: So I feel like I'm a disavenged but you're at 773 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: a disavanngaged to right with me. But one hero that 774 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,879 Speaker 1: I like is Nick Foles. And this is a guy 775 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,839 Speaker 1: who has helped me in my league of record over 776 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: the last several weeks. He scored over twenty two fantasy 777 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: points in four straight games. Yes, thirteen touchdown passes in 778 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: his last five weeks. That's the most among quarterbacks in 779 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: the National Football League. I like the matchup this week 780 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: against the Detroit Lions. Then he goes to Minnesota, which 781 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: is an even better matchup, finishes with the Chicago Bears 782 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. Nick fouls the guy who wasn't even drafted 783 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 1: in most leagues. So at one point he was a 784 00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: zero and now he's a hero. No I try, I 785 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: just say it like Christopher Walker, the zero. Get Look. 786 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton is a rockman, lover driving Lamborghini's right now. 787 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: He's someone who is much better at home than he 788 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: is on the road. He's been hot, eight passing touchdowns 789 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: the last three home games. This is how his playoff 790 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 1: schedule lays out the rest of the way. Indianapolis this week, 791 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: very good matchup. Then he's at Pittsburgh. He finishes against Minnesota. 792 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: There'll be a lot of people who will be starting 793 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton Championship week and they'll be happy they did. 794 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: That match against the Vikings is going to be huge. 795 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: I know we had a down week a week ago. 796 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: It's okay, go back to Andy Dalton, Elliott, can you 797 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,280 Speaker 1: go back to Keenan Allen. Let me tell you something, 798 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: you know. I think on the B side of Ice 799 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,240 Speaker 1: Ice Baby, I think Vanilla Ice covered play that funky music. 800 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: He think he covered it. And by the way, B 801 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: side is a cassette for all of our viewers out there. 802 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: It's a good thing that he covered that because Broncos 803 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: haven't been covering anybody this year. And you see what 804 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: I did there. Keenan Allen plays them week fifteen. He 805 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: plays the Raiders week sixteen, who he had seventeen point 806 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 1: five fantasy points against, and he's got the Giant it's 807 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: this week who have been merely so so so. I 808 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: like Keenan Allen. He's had a hundred yard games. But 809 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: there it is. You see the graphic and back to 810 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 1: back games. Alright, time to stop collaborate and listen to 811 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,759 Speaker 1: Marcus Grant who said to Marco Murray, there's a playoff here. 812 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: I do like the Marco Murray a lot coming up. 813 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: He scored four total touchdown the last four weeks. Certainly 814 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 1: he's going to get more opportunities. With Lance at Dunbar 815 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: not in the lineup. He's got a very favorable schedule 816 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: the Bears, the Packers, the Redskins to finish out the season. 817 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: Start the Barker Murray against your opponent.

Jason Smith here alongside Michael Fabiano 835 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 1: and Elliot Harrison, and it's time now to give you 836 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: all our big starts of the week. So let's begin 837 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: with the quarterback position in fabs. You really like Josh 838 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 1: McCown this week, or really whoever plays quarterbacks to the Bears. Yeah, 839 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: that's that's the key right there. McCown right now, he's 840 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 1: been the starter. Jake Cutler will see what happens in 841 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 1: practice this week. They should start getting back on the 842 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 1: practice field. Remember on Thursday, potentially Color will be there. 843 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: If Color starts pick up Color, he still build him 844 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: eight percent of leagues on NFL dot Com. If mccount 845 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 1: starts play him against the Cowboys, they have been one 846 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: of the worst d This is the entire National Football League, 847 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: especially against the past. Alright, someone I've been seeing getting 848 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: picked up a lot in plenty of leagues, Elliott is 849 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. You know, with Joe Flacco's matchup is GRAD, 850 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 1: He's playing the Vikings and the Vikings and then the 851 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 1: thirty ranked past defensive league. I would not normally recommend 852 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: starting Joe Flacco. He doesn't have the weapons. He's usually 853 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: hit or missed. But they have not been able to 854 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: lean on their running game, which means it's gonna be 855 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,919 Speaker 1: on his right arm whether or not they win this game. 856 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,439 Speaker 1: They need it very badly for the ANC wild card, 857 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: that six C that they're fighting for right now. Jason 858 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: and the Vikings are very exploitable on the back end. 859 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you Ryan Fitzpatrick for this week. This 860 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 1: is where a guy who's been red hot plays a 861 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: defense that's not alright. Fitzpatrick has over fifteen fantasy points 862 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: in each of the last four games. He runs for 863 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 1: touchdowns as well, so that gives you a lot of 864 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: points there you don't get from other quarterbacks. And the 865 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: last month, Denver's defense averaging over twenty fantasy points per game. 866 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 1: To quarterbacks, if you need a guy, I need a 867 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 1: guy in my league, I'm sitting Andrew Luck. I'm going 868 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: with Ryan Fitzpatrick. How about this first stat? Okay, In 869 00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: the last four weeks, Peyton Manning's the highest scoring fantasy quarterback. 870 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: Kim Newton is number two. Ryan Fitzpatrick is three. He's 871 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: been very good. It's magic because I thought it was 872 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: I Rob Roll with the Amish rifle in my playoffs. 873 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 1: Why not in my league of record? Hit the running 874 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 1: backs now? And people have questions about Eddie Links and 875 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,879 Speaker 1: coming off for last week, but not this week. If 876 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: this is a tougher matchup, maybe I'd have question marks too. 877 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 1: But he's the featured back in an offense that's facing 878 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. They've given up the second most fantasy 879 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: points to running backs over the last four weeks, including 880 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,760 Speaker 1: an absolute boatload to Fred Jackson and C. J. Spiller. 881 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: I am starting a Delica and I am starting him 882 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 1: with confidence. DeMarco Murle Elliott, are you starting him and 883 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 1: starting him with confidence? Absolutely? I hate to see my 884 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: former University of North Texas alum Lance Dunbar go on, 885 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: I r be hurt out to the season like he is. 886 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: But DeMarco Murray that means it's his baby and he's 887 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: going up against the thirty second ranked run defense in 888 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. Jason, how many teams are there in the 889 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 1: Nflty two? That's right? The Bears are giving up a 890 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards. A hundred and fifty This is 891 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,399 Speaker 1: the definition matchup if you're looking for a flection. Need 892 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: to running back Bobby Rainey. This is another potential breakout 893 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 1: week from He's averaging over five yards per carry at 894 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 1: home Buffalo the last month. Look at the trends the 895 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: last month of the seasons. What we look at now 896 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: going to the playoffs, they're averaging giving up over twenty 897 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: four Fantasy points a game to running backs. Rainy's a guy. 898 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 1: I'm fab I'm looking at Rainy over c J. Spiller 899 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,399 Speaker 1: in one of my leaks. That is a very very 900 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: big conund gion for you, my friend and the experts league. 901 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: Spiller bad matchup, Rainy, good matchups. Spiller coming off a 902 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 1: very good week. Rainy not so much. I'm gonna be 903 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: interested to see who you start. I just because I 904 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 1: just know C. J. Spiller coming off this big week. 905 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 1: He's gonna be awfull. I'm gonna look at like three 906 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: point one fantasy points one. I'm gonna be sitting next 907 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: to on Sunday Wire all upset about it, and I'll 908 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: hit you over the head of the television. I will 909 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: do that, all right. We get to wide receivers. Yeah, 910 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,720 Speaker 1: the wide receiver starts of the week now. Vincent Jackson 911 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: is someone fab to Mike Glennon has been up and down. 912 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 1: If you're not believing in a big bounce back game 913 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: from Mike Glennon, can you believe in one for Jackson? 914 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: I like Vincent Jackson. I know that he hasn't been 915 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: that good over the last four or five weeks, but 916 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,040 Speaker 1: this is a very good matchup against the Bills have 917 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 1: given up the second most fantasy points and wide receivers 918 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: this season. Six team receiving touchdowns allowed to whine outs. 919 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,479 Speaker 1: That's tied for the second most in the National Football League. 920 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,359 Speaker 1: V Jackson is a little banged up, so make sure 921 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 1: you check on the status. But if he's active, and 922 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 1: I think he will, I would play Vincent Jackson. You're 923 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 1: gonna hit me over the head with a television. Well, 924 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 1: the television they're lighter now because they're flat screens. Smith, 925 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 1: let's talk about Kendle right, can we we can? I'll 926 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 1: tell you what his matchups against the Broncos. You guys 927 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 1: already talked about fits magic. The Broncos secondary has been 928 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: letting receivers run around like kids in the public swimming pool. Man, 929 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,359 Speaker 1: I'm taking kindle right. Kendall Right over the last month's 930 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: been averaging about ten targets per game. He's the most 931 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 1: reliable receiver and that Titans offense. Hey, these are not 932 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,879 Speaker 1: our best start of the week. We're not picking out 933 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: stars here. These are spots, starts, guys that you can 934 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 1: put in your lineup and help you win a playoff game. 935 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 1: I think Kendle Wright is a very definition of that. 936 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 1: So Denver's DBS, instead of covering guys, are just saying 937 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: no running no running, no running, no running, and guys 938 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 1: are going by them exactly. Mike Wallace. This is a 939 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 1: really tough decision because he's someone who you drafted earlier 940 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: this year. You thought he might come through. Then he 941 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 1: was awful for most of the season. But now he's 942 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: gotten hot. He's playing his old team in Pittsburgh. He 943 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: talked about being on a star receiver. Everybody knows it. 944 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 1: He's tough to trust. Fabs. He's one of those guys 945 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: that's right on the cusp of is he a flexes 946 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 1: He at three he can easily not be You know 947 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 1: why he's good because he complained. But still, if you're 948 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 1: looking for somebody this week wide receiver, you need a 949 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 1: wide receiver three. Mike Wallace is someone you can put 950 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: him in your lineup with, at least knowing that he's 951 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: been hot a little bit. I don't love Mike Wallace, 952 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 1: but I like him if I don't have a lot 953 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,879 Speaker 1: of alternatives. Antonio Gates Elliott, he's been a big sit 954 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. You like him? Yeah, I 955 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 1: like him. And when I said that to Fabs, Fabs 956 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,719 Speaker 1: looked at me like he just say some expired meat 957 00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: load or something. I mean, I get it. You don't 958 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 1: like Antonio Gates this week. I know, I understand, but 959 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,399 Speaker 1: he's playing the Giants and for some reason at home, 960 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers likes to go to Gates more. The Giants 961 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,839 Speaker 1: have given up the ninth most fantasy points to tight end. 962 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,799 Speaker 1: Go ahead and play him with confidence in overall, he's 963 00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: had a good season, Expired meat load, Alright, Bev's other 964 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,280 Speaker 1: side of the coin. You got Brandon Meyers, who finally 965 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 1: has been flashing the potential that we thought he'd have 966 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 1: earlier this season. The stomach ache just thinking about that. 967 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 1: Brandon Meyers over the last two weeks has been extremely good, 968 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: double digit Fantasy points in two straight games. He's finding 969 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 1: the end zone. Hey, if you need a tight end, 970 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,320 Speaker 1: and a lot of people out there do. Brandon Meyers 971 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 1: has been back in the good graces of Eli Manning 972 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: and this is a good matchup against San Diego. Charge 973 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,320 Speaker 1: Expired was about to say, I think he just finally 974 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: found Eli Manning. The dude was OCD for like the 975 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 1: first ten weeks the year. Brandon Meyers, is it the 976 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,359 Speaker 1: point now where he's the past catcher? You trust him 977 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: the Giants the most? Is that a joke or what. 978 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: Keen Nicks has scored a touchdown. Victor Cruz can't do anything. 979 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 1: Rubert Raydal is downhill lately in the statutes. It's been 980 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,400 Speaker 1: a rough season for the tur back line O Manual. 981 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 1: It's it's been a season of expired meat loaf for 982 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 1: the New York Giants.
