1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back,

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson. Week two. As

4
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: we mentioned in the books, I'm sure you've got some

5
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: Monday night a lot of people probably with some Monday

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: night hopes resting on tonight's games. Yeah, I mean there's

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: some some relevant players for sure, without a doubt. Um,

8
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: this is the fantasy football focus, so let's talk about.

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah you do that, let's start there. Yeah. Um, so

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: we we tried to have I tried to. I thought

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: I had our contest set up last week. Apparently I

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: screwed that up somehow and we didn't get it. Well.

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it early in the week because they

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't they didn't post yet, and we didn't end up

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: with enough players for some reason in our our our game.

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: So we're gonna give a crack again this year. This

17
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: week we can. It doesn't matter me. I mean we did.

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: We did a line up last week on DraftKings. Anyways,

19
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: I picked one on on DK Pittsburg Sports each week.

20
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: My my my lineup this week on DK was justin Herbert.

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: It wasn't horrible for fantasy. No, Austin l R. Twenty

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: two points and he's catching the ball again. And did

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: you see him get his bell wrung? I thought he

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: was gonna be out for a while. Yea, his face

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: master did weird things. But anyway, I started Javonte Williams

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: and my other running back spot just on a whim,

27
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: and he ended up getting ten receiving yards on one catch,

28
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: sixty four rushing yards. He looked fine. I think you

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: looked good. Yeah, one quick note on that interesting Through

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: two weeks, those guys have been like a fifty fifty split.

31
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: Fifty fifty split between Gordon and Williams. But they played

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Jags like I wonder. I only

33
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: they play this week, But I mean if they have

34
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: a a more important game in the fourth quarter or

35
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: a better opponent, my hunches Javante is gonna be seventy

36
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: to thirty, you know what I mean, Like when they

37
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: need them, I bet they he's their guy. I had

38
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: Mike Williams in the lineup. He's been good this year.

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: He led the Chargers with ten targets in that game,

40
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: end up with seven catches for nine one yards in

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He's an every week starter to me. Yeah,

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: he didn't. He went undrafted in my one league and

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: I picked him up and we Yeah, that was my

44
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: big Week one pick up. Like I gotta get this

45
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: contract year, former top ten pick, New Code. Double digit

46
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: targets in East of the first two weeks, like that's golden.

47
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: Him and Shepherd are very different players, but to me,

48
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: those are guys that were borderline drafted. You know, that

49
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: are every week star. Shepherd was another big pick up

50
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: in my league. Last week. Uh, I started seedee Lamb.

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: He had eight catches for eighty one yards and he

52
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: was fine. He was fine, a little quiet, but I

53
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: mean it's he's always gonna be good. I went to

54
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: Mike Evans route and five or seventy five and two touchdowns. Yeah,

55
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: Brady getting to back up. Don't how much you watched

56
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: that game, but it was almost like I didn't get

57
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: you any last week. Sorry yard fade instead of given

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: at the Lenny. Yeah, like they're just kind of toy

59
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: on with people right now a little bit. Yeah, Brady

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: through what five touchdowns or something? Yeah? Um, I did

61
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: go with Jared Cook as my tenant. I went heavy

62
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: on that on that he had to touchdown called back

63
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: that I was playing against Cook, So that was actually good.

64
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: He ended up with three for twenty eight. It could

65
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: have been a much different day, much different but he

66
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: was cheap. Yeah, and that allowed me to pay good. Yeah,

67
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: it allowed me to pay up to get some other guys.

68
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: My flex was Chris Carson. He got in the end

69
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: zone right twice and only had thirty one rushing guards

70
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: but scored twice. So I ended up with an okay day.

71
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: And I went with that Steelers defense and well, yeah,

72
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: two sacks, two sacks and points allowed was okay, you

73
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: know right? Yeah, so I'm still in the money in

74
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, so going into no, they were all solid.

75
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean because Vante Williams was eight and was five

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: almost six. But I had, you know, a right. It

77
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: wasn't a great week, but it wasn't an awful week. Uh.

78
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: In my uh in my dfs looking at this week's

79
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: top performers, Kyler Murray four hundred passing yards and who

80
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: do we pick again, I don't remember. Okay, we had

81
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: some of those guys, you would have been fine, yeah,

82
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, okay, Uh, Kyler Murray had four hundred passing yards,

83
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, two interceptions. He did take three sacks in

84
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: that game. He's a risk taker and he was a

85
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: crazy person and him he'll run. You know. That's if

86
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: you're re picking right now for re draft. Would he

87
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: be your QB one? I think I'm taking him ahead

88
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: of my homes. Hellamar Alan, I don't. I don't know

89
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: he b QB one. I still probably you probably still

90
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: lean towards Mahomes. Yeah, there's the floor for Mahomes is like, oh,

91
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: it's in the penthouse. The floor is the floor of

92
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: the penthouse. Um, Derek Carr three two and two touchdowns.

93
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: So the time they get go pick up Derek and

94
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: asked you my sons lose his mind because he totally

95
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: punted on quarterbacks and Tannehills his quarterback probably twelfth one

96
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: drafted or whatever, and Cars available and actually Donald's available

97
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: to I'm like, I think it might rather both those

98
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: guys in Tannehill. Yeah, there's not a lot of running involved,

99
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: but Tannehill's not running anyway that you know. Cars He's

100
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: put up like seven or nine hundred yards against two

101
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: great defenses in two weeks. I mean, what he's doing

102
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: is real. Yeah, No, it's real for sure. We'll see

103
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: you know how long that holds up. Um Tannehill, the

104
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: aforementioned tanne Hill through he was seven or forty forty seven,

105
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: no touchdown, no touchdowns. I mean that's a little flukey obviously,

106
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: but I was watching that game and he made some

107
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: throws like behind receivers and just the timing is not there,

108
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: and I think it's because they don't practice. Yeah, those

109
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: guys don't practice. The one Titan note I think is

110
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: big for fantasy though, is Henry caught like six passes.

111
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: It's about I mean, some of these guys can catch

112
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: the ball. We don't need you to run educate, so

113
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: if I can dump it to you and then let

114
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: you get ahead of steam, going great, which is what

115
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to see. The Steelers do more with Naja Harris,

116
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: like getting him more, and they did incorporate him a

117
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: little bit more than and they can do so much

118
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: more of than what they do with the receiving game.

119
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson three forty three and two touchdowns. Yeah, I

120
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: mean he's the top five or six quarterback and all

121
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: day long. And then Mahomes came in at number five

122
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: with three forty three and three touchdowns. Again, that's the floor. Islously,

123
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: Henry finished with thirty five carries. Started a little slow,

124
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: but for a hundred and eighty two yards, three touchdowns.

125
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: Tackling him thirty five times and we two problem. So

126
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: he had thirty five rushes and sixth forty Kerry forty

127
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: touches in the game. There are seventeen games this year,

128
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: that's six hundred touches. If you didn't do that the

129
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: course of the season, he won't run. He can't possibly less.

130
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: I would trade him now maybe maybe. I mean you

131
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: and I said that all offseason. He's not really for

132
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: ust for where he was going in drafts. If anyone

133
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: can buck the trend to him, I mean, there's no

134
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: doubt about it. But his workload over the last three years,

135
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: including this one, is insane. Yeah, and he's not like

136
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: anybody else. But he's still human. Yeah, right, bones still

137
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: break and things still hurts, and yeah, I don't know that.

138
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: That's a rough one. Dalvin Cook two for one, thirty three,

139
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: no touchdowns. His long run was only sixteen yards, so

140
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: it was pretty methodical. He was that. There was a

141
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: couple of times he was He's fighting something. I forget

142
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: what the injury, and they ran for a team in

143
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, keep an eye on it. And I

144
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: would be keeping an eye on Alexander Madison too, just

145
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: because Cook's injury history is not the great. Let's talking

146
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: about workloads and he's already fighting something down that Alexander

147
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: Madison road again after it was bad last year. Yeah,

148
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: but I think he's not a bad player. He got

149
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: he got chances last year to people hate him now right.

150
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: He rushed to the spend all these fab money on him,

151
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: rushed to the and he did nothing. He didn't wort.

152
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: It was like two games, it was like twelve car

153
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: for like six yards nothing. Oh bad, awful that We've

154
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: said this a million times, but the running backs don't matter. Crew,

155
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: go watch Madison and Cook behind the same ol line

156
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: you know in two thousand twenty. Tell me that they

157
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: don't make a difference. Or go watch McCaffrey and how

158
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: you think that there's a mistake that there too or no,

159
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: I mean McCaffrey has been the bell cow uh Tony

160
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: Pollard thirteen for one o nine in a touchdown. He

161
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: had a long run of twenty eight. But he just

162
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: keeps showing up. He should be in leagues. He's startable.

163
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: Some people think he looks better than Elliott. I didn't

164
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: hold Elliott's Week one appearance against him because running into

165
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: that wall wasn't super smart. Nonetheless, Paullard looks really, really good.

166
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: I mean Elliott aside and the Cowboys recognize it. They're

167
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: getting him on the field, Yeah, for sure, and they

168
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, they both we're successful in Yeah. Yeah, it

169
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: wasn't like one stunk. I'm almost good right. Uh, the

170
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: next two leading rushers in week two, we're quarterbacks, Lamar

171
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: do one of them. Lamar had six team for one

172
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: oh seven and two scores last night and six. He's

173
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: not gonna hold up all season long. No, he's taking

174
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: a beating and he's had to be super I was

175
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: listening to to a fantasy or No, it's just actually

176
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: just a regular NFL show today, and they were talking

177
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: about what, you know, Lamar's running stuff up the gut

178
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: and you know they're running like but he doesn't take

179
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: big hits. I'm like, have you've been watching the same

180
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: two games I watched. I've seen it take some pretty

181
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: big shots. Obviously, his vision and elusiveness are great. But

182
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean a guy doesn't follow you from behind.

183
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he took a real pounding a week one,

184
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: and the number five rusher in the league in week two.

185
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: Another quarterback hurts. Nope, he was close to a hundred.

186
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: Not as close as this guy. This guy nine five

187
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: yards rushing. Why don't I know that Daniel? You don't

188
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: think of him as a is a runner, But there's

189
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: they're designing and designed runs. If you even go back

190
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: to last year, he got injured and they stopped doing it,

191
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: but he had a lot of design quarterback runs. He's

192
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: ribsking it up, he's fast. Uh. Leading receivers this week

193
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: top five guys were Tyler Lockett eight for one, seventy

194
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: eight touchdown. Yeah, it was quite good. He'll do that

195
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: now next week you'll you'll rush to start him or

196
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: get him in your lineup and you'll have three for twenty.

197
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: He was a huge target of mine. I mean, so

198
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm on board with him. I don't know that he's

199
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,239
Speaker 1: as inconsistent as like the Shawn Jackson's No, he's not

200
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: right man. He he can be frustrating. He can be

201
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: frustrating though he just lived with the down ones though,

202
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: I mean the big the big ones are huge. Cooper

203
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: Cup nine for one, sixty three and two touchdowns. He

204
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: was opened the whole game. Yeah, Courtland's Sutton nine for

205
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: one nine but did not score. Had a long gain

206
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: of fifty five. Really tough to get a fifty five

207
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: year score and get that kind of production. He still

208
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: looks good, not great, you know, but him Judy being

209
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: out is great for him. Yeah, it's fantast You don't

210
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: play the Jags every week though, and that's true. No

211
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: a fan factored in. It was well, and you know,

212
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: Hammler didn't do much and they got guys. But Sutton's

213
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: going to lead the team receptions probably everything, doubt. Yeah,

214
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: Julio Jones six no touchdowns. We did have a fifty

215
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: one yarder. That's a that's Julio. That's a typical Julio

216
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: Jones type line. I think he had a touchdown call

217
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: back to like he barely had a foot in and

218
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: there was a lot of controversy about it. If to

219
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: go see it again, but something like that. Um, he

220
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: was flat out worrisome in week one. So this is

221
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: at least encouraging the step in right direction in the

222
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: final when you mentioned him earlier, Michael Pittman eight for

223
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: one three but did not squirl. Yeah, I started a

224
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: b o over Pittman and regretted it a little bit.

225
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: But I think Pittman is a starter. Don't you think?

226
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: You think he's a if you're starting three receivers and

227
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: he's probably Yeah, he's probably in your top thirty six.

228
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: Is he like a Shepherd or Mike Williams tier like

229
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: we talked about. I think, but he might have Easton

230
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: as his quarterback. Who the heck knows. Yeah, there's some

231
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: big receiver. I mean, just a bunch of hundred yard

232
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: games this week. Quiz Watkins. Don't rush out and get

233
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: him because to catch, but he can fly uh Ron

234
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: del Moore seven for one fourteen in the touchdown. The

235
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: touchdown was a seventy seven yard touchdown, So there's other

236
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: six catches were for thirty seven yards. So don't get

237
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: too fired up around that. He's not gonna do that

238
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: every week. He's not. And last week it was Kirk

239
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean, but more gets targeted. A

240
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: lot of them are afterable behind the line of scrimmage.

241
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an extension of the run game. He said,

242
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: but he also has the big play potential because his

243
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: his touchdown was impressive. I mean he is fast, and

244
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean he should be rostered. But I would start

245
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: him this week just because he's coming off seven You

246
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: look at that and go whie, it's seven catches for

247
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: running fourteen yards. I gotta start him. No, I think

248
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna be very up and down. But he's gonna

249
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: be but it'll be less up and down because I

250
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: think the targets will be there every week, but a

251
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: lot of them will be short. Yeah. You know, there's

252
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of weeks of six or thirty six. Yes, Like,

253
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be the intermediate deep big guy.

254
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: He's five seven flat. He's not five seven and eight.

255
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: He's five seven. Yeah, he's just tiny. Yeah, Marcis Brown

256
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: looked good last night the touchdown. Uh, Henry Ruggs against

257
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers five for one, thirteen in the touchdown. But

258
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: of course that's sixty one yard still counts, still counts.

259
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm selling him now if I have him.

260
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: But that's the most targets he's ever gotten in a game.

261
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: I think he's never had more than five and he

262
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: had the sixth yesterday or something. Kelsey seven for one

263
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: oh nine and a touchdown six yard just running through

264
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: Yeah the place by homes made and then to play

265
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: Kelsey made it was like stall. Yeah, unbelievable, just kind

266
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: of pinballing his way down the field, leaving his course.

267
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Keenan Allen, this one's interesting. He had four

268
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: for one oh eight, no touchdowns. As I mentioned before,

269
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: Mike Williams out targeted him in that game. Yeah, I

270
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: don't worry one bit about Allen though. You're not gonna

271
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: get better production. You're not gonna get four for one

272
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: oh four out of Alan though every week, like if

273
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: he typically if he catches four, it's forty six. Yeah,

274
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: it's usually eight or something like that. Right, he's a

275
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: machine though. Yeah, No, there's no doubt McLaurin on Monday

276
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: Thursday night, I should say, oh seven touchdown at all? No,

277
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: he just they In fact, it might have helped him

278
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: maybe helped him a really good looking his way all

279
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: the time. Uh. Deante Johnson ended up with nine for

280
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: one oh five in that game yesterday. Really well yeah,

281
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: I think he only had it was nine on eleven

282
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: targets if he plays, he gets double digit targets. Yeah,

283
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: and if he plays, I forget what the stat was,

284
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: but it's like twelve out of fifteen games. If he

285
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: plays more than snaps, he gets double digit targets. Somebody

286
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: receiving in the league, you can say that about. No,

287
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: there aren't like seven or eight. Some guys just missed

288
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: a hundred yard receiving games. Freddie Swain with Seattle five.

289
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: He had a real long one, right, Uh, it's like

290
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: sixty eight yard. We still had five matches for He

291
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: might be the three. He might be there number three guy.

292
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: Uh Sterling think yeah, yeah, he's got like a concussion. Sterling.

293
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: Shepherd finished with nine for ninety four. As you mentioned,

294
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: he's solid, he's a double especially he's the slot guy. Yeah,

295
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: Aliday and those guys are kind of inconsistent. This one's interesting.

296
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Max Williams seven for ninety four. Did he have a

297
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: long one? Kind of rumbling bumbling against He had a

298
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: thirty four yard catch, but a tight end getting seven

299
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: catches for ninety four yards certainly noteworthy. He'll be a

300
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: guy that that A lot of people were running like,

301
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: are you buying Max Williams. No, not in a million years,

302
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: but at least open the idea that involved a pedigree there. Yeah,

303
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: so I was gonna say, yeah, he's been really used

304
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: as a blocker the last couple of years. Though. I

305
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: liked him coming out of school, but since then he

306
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: hasn't done anything to make me consider him for Fantasy

307
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: DEEPO Samuel had six for ninety three again. Is he

308
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: he's the man? Yeah, he's the man. I guess getting

309
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: himself out of the doghouse. He's not if you could

310
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: buy him, I would. Kittle has been slow. There was

311
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: very little offense in that game. Yeah. Uh, the aforementioned

312
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: Mike Williams seven and a touchdown. One last guy over

313
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: ninety yards was k J Osborne with Minnesota five nine

314
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: one in. It's in a touchdown, but he had a

315
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: sixty four yard catch. He's the clear number three to three. Yeah,

316
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: it's not a bad offense. Um, they're playing more three

317
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: receiver sets because they don't have two good tight ends.

318
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: With our smith out, Um Jefferson and theling get all

319
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: the attention, so Osborne gets a ton of single coverage.

320
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: I still don't know much about him, to be very

321
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: honest with you, but he's it's two weeks in a

322
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: row that he's out there a lot and he's getting

323
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: in the ball. Yeah. Do some injury news and notes

324
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: here from week one before we wrap things up. Uh

325
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Brooks with the Eagles. Oh, do he get hurt again?

326
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: Practorial strain. Probably probably be placed on injured reserve, according

327
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: to coach Nick Sirianni. Just came back and was playing

328
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: well again and missed all last year. Uh Andy Dalton

329
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: suffered a bruised knee bone, so his status for week

330
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: three is unclear. They did say he's the starter when healthy.

331
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: When healthy, but I wouldn't rush them back if I

332
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: were the bear. This could be Yeah, this could be

333
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: justin fields time here and if if he plays, if

334
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: he plays well, he probably keeps the job. I mean,

335
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: Fields should be in every league. Dalton should be a

336
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,479
Speaker 1: nun to a Teglavoa. Um, he's got bruised ribs. He's

337
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: day to day. They play the Raiders in week three

338
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas till must win game for they can't

339
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: go to in three and bottles there and Fuller's back

340
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: and all these things. But I don't love two of

341
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: her fantasy. No, I don't either Will Fuller returned to

342
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: the Dolphins facility on Monday, and Brian Flores expects him

343
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: uh to remain with the team this week. I don't

344
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: know what that means. What's the situation he has some

345
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: he was clear as a personal thing, there's something big

346
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: going on in his life that is not disclosed to

347
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: the rold. I don't know what it is, but he

348
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: got an excused absence from the team and just came

349
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: back after the game. I guess there's something serious going on. Okay,

350
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: Laviska Chan not with a shoulder. Um, he's one of

351
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: the bright spots. He kind of looks good left that game.

352
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: Though He's expected to be available to play in Week

353
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: three against the Cardinals. I don't know if he's a

354
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: starter though, Yeah. I mean I'm starting like a pitman

355
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: over him. I wouldn't shoulder injury. I mean, he could

356
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: get that thing aggravated, like if you've got somebody better.

357
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: He takes a lot of hits too. Yeah. He kind

358
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: of has the middle shoulders for running backs, so one

359
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: of the things you really avoid, and he's kind of

360
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: a running back. Yeah. Um, Jante Johnson, we should mention

361
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: he's fine. Um, I mean, we don't know if he

362
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: plays this week, but he avoided serious injury, probably gonna

363
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: play this count on that. Yeah. Uh. Jarvis Landry, however,

364
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: is considered week to week for the Browns. Yeah, but

365
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: Beham be an ounce. There isn't a go pick up

366
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: Higgins or people's Jones situation. You'd like to see for

367
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: fancy reasons. You'd love to see Beckham without Landry or

368
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: Landry without them. I would think that they would leave

369
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: the team and targets instead of Hooper. Um, but something

370
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: the monitor, Mr Hooper. Uh. Texans head coach David Culley

371
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: said Deshaun Watson will not play this week against the Panthers.

372
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: This is in a week where Tyrod Taylor is out.

373
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: They play Thursday night. If you had any hope was gone.

374
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna go with Davis Mills on a short week

375
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: and yeah, so over his head, horrendous. They're not gonna

376
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: play Deshaun Watson at all this year. He's gonna He's

377
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: just not. I understand why. It has nothing to do

378
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: with everything that happened before, all the allegations. No, no, no,

379
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: all right, I mean he's never gonna play for the

380
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: Texans again. I mean I think that's a cleared and

381
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: get traded. I don't think that nobody's gonna trade. So

382
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: he is not he's cutible. No, he's credible because if

383
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: he's not going to play this week, he's not gonna play.

384
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: And plus he's a quarterback too. I mean, if he

385
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: goes to a new team, he's not gonna get acclimated

386
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: right away in now an offense. I mean, it's it's

387
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: just not enough. By the way, Max Williams on the

388
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: aforementioned Max Williams had seven targets in that game, caught

389
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: all seven of them. Seven targets. I mean that's seven

390
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: targets from tight end. I mean, I hear you. I

391
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: mentioned Carson Wentz spring both ankles in Week two against

392
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: the Rams. I have a hard time trusting him or

393
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: that passing game. Which so it'll be jacobies in this

394
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: week more than likely. Um, they played. They played the Titans,

395
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: a crucial game they could be buried to. They need

396
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: to win that game. Did you see they're gonna do

397
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: hard knocks with the during the season, during the season,

398
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: Like I'm interested, I'm interested, but getting taved. Yeah, there's

399
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: Quinton Nelson limping around right right. That's everybody's in bad shape. Yeah,

400
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: I think the docks are gonna be on the screen

401
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: a lot, I think so. Uh, how about this stat

402
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: the Jaguars do not have a rushing attempt in their

403
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: first two games inside the opposing twenty. Wow. Not so good.

404
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: Not so good. Yeah, their backs are really hard for

405
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: fantasy too. I mean James Robinson. People had high hopes

406
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: because at the n went out, but they don't any

407
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: success on ground. Yeah, just nothing um and hides in

408
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: the mix. Yeah, it's not good. Is Sammy Watkins cutible? Probably?

409
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: Like there are other guys out there now who are emerging. Yeah,

410
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: he got he hit six targets, yester. He had four

411
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: catchers forty four yards in a revenge game in a

412
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: game where did you see that? He had a bad

413
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: drop over the middle on the one, like it's right

414
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: there in his hands, he's running before he gets to catch,

415
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: doesn't tuck it in. I thought he'd take a little

416
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: more advantage, I mean a good he's inconsistent and credible

417
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: might be a strong word. But there's probably somebody else

418
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: out there potentially, Like if Mike Williams that Still Shepherd

419
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: were still out there, there's much more startable than that guy, right,

420
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: I agree, Like would rather have him or DeVante Parker.

421
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: What do you think of the Ravens usage last night

422
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: of the running backs? Frustrating? Yeah, And I do think

423
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: Williams is the guy to own. Um, I don't. I

424
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: think there's a trust factor there that isn't quite you know,

425
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: do they trust them to pick up litz is and

426
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: all those things? And he had thirteen for seven, he said,

427
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: let Tavis Murray had nine for thirty six and DeVante

428
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: Freeman had two carries for twenty nine yards. He looked

429
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: one of those on the one on them was a

430
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: drop for a loss. Yeah. I just say one of

431
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: them was just a big running lane. And you know,

432
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, he looks all right. But any

433
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: backward look good enough carried too, So we'll see yeah,

434
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 1: and leave Bells on the team. Yeah, he's he's practice

435
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: squad raban. Bell has kind of fallen to he can't

436
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: even get active dudes. There has no running backs. Um,

437
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: but Williams is a starter for fantasy. You mentioned the

438
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: ver split. Melvin Gordon had thirteen carries for thirty one

439
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: yards a week after having them was eleven for a

440
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: Williams was a better back, and I think he's a

441
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: better back, and that will start to show up more

442
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: and more. Yeah, I believe that. And Gordon's not terrible,

443
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: but um, it's starting to. I think it'd be pretty

444
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: clear when we do fantasy segments two weeks from now

445
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: that Williams is the guy to own. He's the guy

446
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: if you're gonna start one of those guys, you Almo,

447
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: you hate to put an offer, and that was a

448
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: good time to do it. You hate to hope for

449
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: an injury because it's clarity. Um, how about the San

450
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: Francisco backfield. You see sermon, first professional carry, really nice run,

451
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: got hit in the head like three times on the carry,

452
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: you got a concussion and fumbled and who knows when

453
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: the story is because Mitchell was out the shoulder. Mitchell

454
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: is still the one. I don't think he'll hold up

455
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: either though. That's that's the thing about that, you know.

456
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm still stashing sermon. They can't keep a running back

457
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: healthy to save their lives. Part of it's a system

458
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: in the style of back that they want. These little

459
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: guys just go a million miles an hour through the

460
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: hole and just run into things. I mean, that's most

461
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: Dirt and Mitchell their dodge cars, right like. Sermons are

462
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: real back like most teams wouldn't have much of use

463
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: for Mos Dirt and Mitchell. Sermon would play for anybody.

464
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: But that's why I keep thinking he's the guy to own.

465
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: But again, the just frustrating. Yeah, they're like some back

466
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: fields that I just hate to own any stock in

467
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: That's one of them. That's one of them. New England's another.

468
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: And then there's ones like the Jets in Miami that

469
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: just aren't ever just all garbage, right, they're all garbage like.

470
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: But if ones at least you hit the right, if

471
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: you roll the dice correctly and you guess right, one week,

472
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: you could be really happy. But usually you're you're starting

473
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: the guy the week after, and it's too It's like

474
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: if you have to pick up Elijah Mitchell last week,

475
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: just throw them into your lineup. You were disappointed, Yeah,

476
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: and you still might be the rest of your two Yeah.

477
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: On it's all said and done, I still think Sermon

478
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: will be their leading rusher for the season. I do too,

479
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: but man, I would long past. I mean, he's a

480
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: long This would have been a good week for him

481
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: to kind of show up, show up and do the

482
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: perfect opportunity. Yeah. I thought he was gonna be clearly

483
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: the starter when we got together today, and it's not

484
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: the case at all. In my name and play this week. Yeah,

485
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: we're seeing a clarity and the Steelers, I think we

486
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: know who the number one receiver is. It's Deante Johnson. Yeah,

487
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: but I think we're at the point now like Chase

488
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: Claypol was targeted nine times and Juju saw the most snaps.

489
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: As we said, but everything short, how do you how

490
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: do you slot them? Like for fantasy only? I think

491
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: Deante is a wide receiver to Claypool's a three, ye

492
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: should use a flex. I mean he got to carry

493
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. He gets enough every week that you

494
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: can start to valuable. Of course, you can start him

495
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: as a three and a PPR and be fine. Yeah,

496
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be wowed every week. But he's not

497
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: gonna take He's not gonna get a zero. No. I

498
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: mean he's a high floor. He's going to get probably

499
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: get you at least eight points every week. Yeah. Yeah,

500
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: you know in some weeks when he scores, he's gonna

501
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: get you. You know, we brought up Pittman and Mike

502
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 1: Williams and Shepherd a few times. I would take all

503
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: those guys over. There's more upside. Yeah, but that's put

504
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: of all those guys below Claypool, Yes, and certainly below

505
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: Deonte like Deante's probably as you said, like he's a

506
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: top twenty five ish receivers, maybe twenty you know, maybe

507
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: eighteen ish. You know, Claypool is probably the top, you

508
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: know with targets, and his targets are deeper's. Yeah, that's

509
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: this in the first segment too. There's still more inconsistencies

510
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: that Claypool's game, you know. I mean, I know Johnson

511
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: that ton of drops last year, but he's a refined

512
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: route runner and you know the football quickly, I mean,

513
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: and then he gets yards after the catch. Yeah, he

514
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: can attack at all levels. And you know he's a

515
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: good NFL wide receiver skill wise. Play poles a work

516
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: in progress. Big impressive ball of clay right, and yeah,

517
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: he interested. I know we were both on the firemouth bandwagon.

518
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: He's out snapped. Hebron both weeks four for thirty six

519
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: last week. I think that only continues to go up

520
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: if he's still available. You know, you're looking for a

521
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: tight end too. I think he's the Steelers starter and

522
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: will become even more and more clear. He's a better blocker.

523
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: I mean his blocking looks decent through two weeks. That

524
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: gets you on the field. We know he's got red

525
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: zone prowess. Um Ibron had a play that could have made,

526
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: would have been nice. We did and kind of lead

527
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: a little. People were killing him. He's gonna catch it

528
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: like he's running. He died. You don't see tight ends

529
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: make diving catches a whole lot there. He's another one

530
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: of the whipping boys, you know, like Edmonds and Chooks

531
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: and a couple of guys on that team. Whenever they lose,

532
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: it's those guys, those guys, all right, right. Anyways, that's

533
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: gonna do it for today's show. We will be back

534
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: tomorrow after the Mike Tomlin press conference. But for my partner, Mike,

535
