WEBVTT - Week 6 Recap: Lions, Bucs, and Bears, Oh My! 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:14.200 Wow, Hey everybody, It's Monday, October fourteenth, twenty twenty four. 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:16.880 Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, where we're wondering 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.439 exactly what is a bubb means to me? Your man 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.720 NAMG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f. Florio and Lakwan Jones. 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:25.760 We are most of the way through Week six, still 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:27.920 a Monday night game to go in Florida. 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:29.960 This is kind of a big sports day for you 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:30.960 on this Monday. 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.440 Yeah, I will be at Mets Dodgers. If you think 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:36.760 one bad loss is going to ruin my spirit, I've 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.640 been through so many bad met losses in my life 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.600 and then Bill's Jets for first place in the AFC, 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.440 So today could be a great day, or you guys 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:46.880 are just not going to see and hear from me 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.239 for twenty four hours half. I don't know which way 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.680 it's gonna go, So just. 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:53.159 Be aware, folks. 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.680 If you don't see Michael f Floria around here for 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.520 a couple of days, that means his Monday did not 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:00.560 go very well. Well. 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.640 Kudos to you, though, Marcus, Kudos to you. The Dodgers 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:05.280 ball down. 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.520 It was a good game one. There's still a long 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.680 way to go in the series. We'll see how things go, 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.320 but we will put out a wellness check if the 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.600 Mets and Bills both lose on Monday night, to make 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.160 sure that you are okay. Speaking of what is okay 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:20.720 and what is not, we're gonna go through the biggest 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.479 takeaways from week six. We'll have our waiver wire, of course, 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.360 and we're gonna play a little bit of real or 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.800 mirage with some guys who put up some big numbers. 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:29.920 We're gonna find out whether or not we think these 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:30.759 can continue. 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:36.199 But let's start, as we always do, with some fantasy headlines. 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:36.720 And big one. 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.400 After what we saw in London this past week, Travis 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.720 Eten left the game with a hamstring injury. Lakwan, it 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.639 seemed very convenient that his leaving with a hamstring injury 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.600 was after he put the ball on the ground and 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.520 it worked out it was ruled an incomplete pass and 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.120 not a fumble. But Lakwan, we have seen a trend 0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:00.880 recently of Etn being outplayed by Tank Bigsby. Now there's 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.720 this hamstring injury. We'll see how long it sort of lingers. 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.720 But is Etn in danger of losing his job with. 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:12.080 The Jaguars, absolutely, because we're on the same frequency. It 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.760 was just so convenient this hamstring came out of nowhere 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.320 after that fumble. But more so we're looking at you know, 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.200 Tank Bixby and how he's been playing these last couple 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.200 of weeks, and like, I'm not gonna look at the 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.639 last game and you know against the Bears, just based 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.840 on they kind of gave up in that first half 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.120 like it was always it was like basically the writing 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:31.560 was on the wall that the game was over and 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.160 the Bears were about to run away with it. But 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.480 more so looking at next week they got the Patriots, 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.360 This is a game that Tank basically could show up, 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.959 show whow, get in between the tackles, rush outside, and 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.000 be explosive all around as the lead back. But more 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.960 so you have to worry about the Ernest Johnson as 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.040 well as getting snaps. So it looks like Travis Etn 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.520 going to be sidelined for for some time with this 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.560 hamstring injury. Maybe who knows, but more and so looking 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.240 at this backfield, it just looked better functioning with these 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.959 two running backs, Tank Bixby taken up with the head, 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.760 so Etn managers, I definitely would be a little bit 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:04.520 worried right now. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.079 Bigsby this past week of Florio not a great stat line, 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.480 seven carries for twenty four yards, did not have a 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:15.160 catch in the ballgame. But all things consider, if ETN 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.359 is missing time is I won't say is he a 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.400 must start? But how good do you feel about getting 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:21.400 Bigsby in the your lineup? 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.760 It's matchup dependent, like this week against the Patriots. If 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.280 ETN is out and I'm sitting ETN whether he plays 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.359 or not this week, But if ETN is out, then 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.600 I think Bigsby is someone you want to start because 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.880 they'll already be in London. That's a huge advantage that 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.760 they have over the Patriots who now have to fly 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.160 to London. Patriots have been really struggling on defense. You 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.480 can put up numbers against them. But to Lakwan's point, 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.680 Deeranis Johnson got all of the passing reps because for 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.440 some reason they just do not trust Tank Bigsby in 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.040 the passing game. So he's very gamescript dependent because games 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.560 where they fall behind and are in catchup mode, it 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.680 could look a lot like it did yesterday where Tank 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.480 bigs He gave you like two and a half fantasy points. 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:06.680 So the best case scenario, as bad as Travis Etn 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.280 has been, is et gets healthy and continues to get 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:12.320 that workload because he is the only one that they 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.640 trust to do both run on the ground and be 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.080 used in the passing game. Otherwise it's kind of they're 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.599 splitting it, and that's not great for fantasy purposes. 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:20.080 I mean. 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.200 The other part of this is the Jaguars offense just 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.080 has not been great. So whoever it is we're plugging 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.599 in is going as part of an offense. It's just 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.360 is not moving the ball and scoring a whole lot 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.960 of points. A couple of other injury notes to pay 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:37.559 attention to. Marvin Harrison Junior left the Cardinals game against 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.880 Backers on Sunday with a concussion. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.320 We'll keep an eye on him as he goes through 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:41.839 the protocol. 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.320 Dallas Goddard was ruled out of the Eagles game with 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.800 a hamstring injury, so we will see what is up 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.960 with him as it goes along. But it's nice to 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.480 see aj Brown Devanta Smith back in action for Philadelphia. 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.240 But we'll see how long this issue could keep Dallas 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.320 Goddard out of action. Let's take a look at some 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.080 of the week's top scores. Of course, the Monday night 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:09.080 game still pending. Caleb Williams looking solid for the Bears 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.400 over in London, two hundred and twenty six passing yards, 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.240 four passing touchdowns, did have the interception, which was the 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.080 first thing he talked to Stacy Dale was about after 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.839 the game, but fifty six rushing yards as well, nearly 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.800 twenty nine points for him. Sean Tucker comes out of nowhere? 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.760 Would you call him the King Tuck? I think is 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.839 what you call him on Twitter? Look wi on Sunday 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.799 one hundred and thirty six rushing yards other fifty six 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.680 receiving yards, had a touchdown thirty four point two points 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.120 for him. Chris Godwin having a day eleven for a 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.280 buck twenty five and two tudies thirty five and a 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:43.480 half points there. Cole Commets making London kids forget about 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.720 Marcedes Lewis and the annals of great tight ends five catches, 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.320 seventy yards and two touchdowns twenty four points. Jake Bates 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:54.120 for the Lions four mayfield goals, five pats and the 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:58.839 Lions dst four sacks, five takeaways at nine points allowed 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.960 eighteen fantasy points as the Lions demolish the Dallas Cowboys. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.880 Everyone came from three teams like all scores. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.520 Yeah, that's right, Bears, Bucks, Lions, that was and two 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:15.520 of them in the same division. The NFC North is 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:19.320 looking like a problem right now. That good how get 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.160 those teams are? But I look and we're gonna talk 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.560 some individual fantasy heroes, lakwan, I guess, I guess we 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.840 keep it going in the the NFC North. 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:31.840 Yes, finally Keenan Allen shows up and puts up some 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.640 big fantasy points. Man, Like, I don't know how long 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.680 I've been waiting for this because all suwhere we're trying 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.880 to figure out which wide receiver we should get. It's 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.120 a DJ Moore's a Roma Doons and I've stuck with 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.120 the state bet that it would be Keenan Allen. But 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.680 he finally showed up. And I think it has a 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.599 lot to do with Caleb Williams and how he's playing 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.080 right now. And I think we'll get into Cayleb Williams 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.680 later in the show, but more so looking at how 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:59.240 Keenan Allen caught his passes double tapped in the end zone, 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.000 This is great news for a lot of fantasy managers 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.119 that had him on the bench. He was on bench 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.680 row almost about to be dropped by some managers, and 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.280 that would be me because other guys were just performing better. 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.600 But more so, this is great that he has shown 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.520 some life and hopefully Cayla Williams can still keep on 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:18.000 playing at a top level and Keenan Allen keeps on 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:19.480 finding himself in the end zone. 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.600 I know it is the thing that Adam Rank talked 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.840 about during the week. You know, he'd had conversations. He 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.280 does his podcast, which you can check out. But some 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:27.880 of the other guys told him this was going to 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.440 be the Keenan Allen week, and sure enough it was, 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.800 with a pair of touchdowns for him Floria. I guess 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.000 we can talk about somebody not in the NFC North 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:37.360 for once. I guess if we have to. 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.840 I was so happy to have aj Brown back, who 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.000 was not only the player that I drafted the most 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.440 in the first round this year, but I was making 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.480 some bold claims, saying like I'd rather have this guy 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:54.080 than justin Jefferson. And Week one looks great and then 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.680 he pulls his hamstring at practice and we don't see 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.320 him for a month. But Aj Brown has played two 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.480 games this year, he is averaging twenty three Fantasy points 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.800 per game. He has at least nine targets in both 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.640 of them, over one hundred and fifteen yards and a 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.320 touchdown in each of those games. I know his end 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.080 of season numbers are going to get hurt by these injuries, 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.080 but on a per game basis, AJ Brown has a 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.720 chance to be the wide receiver won this year, largely 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.160 because partly because some of the other big names that 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.200 we're going ahead of him aren't quite living up to expectations, 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.200 but also because this guy is just bawling out. He's 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.240 one of the best deep receivers in the NFL, and 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.319 now he has an OC that is building his offense 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.240 around getting the deep ball and getting to AJ Brown 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.360 and really getting him going downfield. So I feel great 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.959 about AJ Brown moving forward. And yeah, if you have him, 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.680 obviously you're starting him each and every week. But it 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.560 was worth the wait to get AJ Brown back. 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.360 It was so nice to go through and set lineups 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.800 this week and say, like, oh, AJ Brown, I can 0:08:54.840 --> 0:09:00.600 put him back, Oh, right, Devinta Smith can put him 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.760 back in. Like that was so refreshing. It was so 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.559 nice to be able to like, slide those guys back 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.480 into the lineup and nice to see them produce as well. 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.680 Normally I tend to go off menu with my fantasy 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.400 hero looking at the list of the top scorers, but 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.679 this time I just had to shout out Caleb Williams 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:20.080 for not only what he did this past week against 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:21.960 the Jaguars, but for what he's been doing the last 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:26.400 couple of weeks leading this Chicago Bears offense. Remember after 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.760 the first two games, people were like, oh, Caleb Williams, 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.480 I don't know, maybe he's overrated. It's almost like we 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.040 should wait more than two games before we make a 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.040 judgment on any player in the National Football League. But 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.600 you look back over the last three weeks, Caleb Williams 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:44.360 with seven touchdown passes, just one interception. And yes, he's 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.839 done it against some defenses that aren't particularly great. It's 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.080 been the Rams, the Panthers, and the Jaguars. But so 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.720 what the fact is, you can only play who you 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.880 can play. The Bears offense looks like it's coming together. 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.040 We have seen Caleb get time to throw, we have 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.679 seen him make some just baller throws. And a thing 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.800 that I loved yesterday was seeing him run with the 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.400 football as well, getting you fifty six rushing yards. That 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.040 is no small feat. One of the things that I 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:11.760 said about him, that a lot of people said about 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.160 him is that when he runs, he's not gonna run 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.000 the way Jayden Daniels or Lamar Jackson does. He is 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.760 going to run sort of the way Patrick Mahomes does. 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:21.720 He will do it to make plays or do it 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.800 to keep the sticks moving, and when he sees an opening, 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:24.640 he will take off. 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.880 He saw a lot of that against Jacksonville in Week six. 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.840 Hopefully it continues, especially because you look at the Bears 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.920 upcoming schedule, it is pretty nice. They have a buy 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.080 coming up this week. But then they go to Washington, 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.199 they go to Arizona, So a couple of nice games 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:40.840 for Caleb Williams in a chance for him to kind 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.319 of keep this run going a little bit. 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.600 Please tell me that Bears Commanders is an island game. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.120 That is a good question. No, it is not, at 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:50.600 least not. 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:56.040 Of not as of yeahs, because of now it is 0:10:56.320 --> 0:11:00.760 early games one day in week eight. Yeah, it's part 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.640 of the for us out here in the West Coast. 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.319 It's the ten am game, the one pm game on 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:10.040 the East Coast for now. For now, that's an opportunity 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.920 yeah here, And it's our flexing game yet because if so, 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.040 that'd be nice to maybe flex that one into Sunday night. 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.960 I don't know if they can do that yet. Anyway, 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:20.400 those are our fantasy heroes for the week. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.160 Let's look at some of our big takeaways as we 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.560 zoom out to thirty thousand feet. What did you learn 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:25.960 from what you saw on Sunday? 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:30.320 Look on, Oh, man, Joe Mixon is back on track. 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.840 Almost messed that up, but man, I definitely feel though 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.640 this is what the Texans offense has been missing, like 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.040 this was literally the missing piece that their run game 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.240 because it was god awful, you know, the last couple 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.360 of weeks that Joe Mixon missed. But it's good to 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.120 see that business is back on track with him putting 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.240 up one hundred plus yards because we saw in week 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.080 one put up one to fifty nine, which is still 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.280 in the most yards, second most yards in the game. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.600 When we're looking at Joe Mixon, how he's just so 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.680 explosive at the returning back from this ankle injury. And 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.560 I think the train just keeps on going with Joe Mixon. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:00.800 I think this is going to be one of his 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.600 best seasons. You know, he did get injured, but if 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.760 he stays healthy the rest of the season, I don't 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.200 see how he's not a top three running back in 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.760 this league, just based on how this Texans offense is 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.040 hitting on all cylinders when he's in the game. 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:14.960 I mean, it just felt like Houston was maybe the 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.760 best possible fit for him after it looked like he 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.800 was gonna leave Cincinnati, and when we have seen him healthy, 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:25.480 he's been amazing. I mean, cam Akers, Dario Ogenbiwalle, I mean, 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.800 they sort of fit within a role. But I was 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.320 saying yesterday it makes them more predictable. I think when 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.520 when you have cam Akers out there, you are you 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:34.600 can bet they're going to run the ball. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.480 When it's Ogen Biwalle, you can pretty much bet they're 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:37.160 going to throw the ball. 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:41.000 Jill makes It gives them a little bit more flexibility there, Floria. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.400 We said, if Laporter Sam Laporter didn't do big things, 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.560 is it panic time? He did a big thing, like 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.360 literally one big thing. So how are we feeling about 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:50.840 him now? 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.920 Uh? In the moment he catches that fifty two yard 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.559 touchdown and You're like, Wow, he has outscored his four 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.440 previous games in just one play. Then you think about 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.719 it and you're like, oh, one play beat every other 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.720 game he had this year. And then you look at 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.800 the box score and you're like, oh, that was the 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:12.720 only target he had all game. Yeah, I am worried that. Yes, 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.360 it was a fifty two yard touchdown. His loan target 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.160 came on a trick play where like four other players 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:22.640 touched the ball, and then you look at it. He 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.959 he was behind in targets, behind not only the running 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.600 like Jamison Williams and a Monro Saint Brown and Jamier 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.480 Gibbs what you expect, but Khalif Rayman and Tim Patrick 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.280 had more targets than him, and Laporta is averaging just 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.920 three targets per game right now through five weeks. So 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.760 I am still worried about him. I think this is 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.200 a cell high window now, Like people are gonna see 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.360 that play, They're gonna remember laporter from last year, know 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.800 how bad tight end is. If you could flip him 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.320 right now, Like I've been in talks about sending a 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.960 package of like Laporta and another wide receiver on my 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.240 team for David Montgomery or something like that, like try 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.160 to get rid of Laporta. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.560 This week if you could sell high. 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.839 I think what's wild is that in a game where 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.960 the Lions scored forty seven points, I'm on, Aron Saint 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.000 Brown and Sam Laporta combined for five catches for eighty 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.160 nine yards. I mean, they just had a touchdown, which 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.200 was sort of nice, but they were not really the 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:22.480 focal point of the offense for the Lions. Yeah, from on, Rod, 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.000 don't think we're really concerned for Sam Laporta. I think 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.800 we are very concerned. But I guess me to my point, 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.840 which is that, aside from Loporda, tight ends might be 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.400 starting to put some things together for fantasy managers. You 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.240 did have a lot of big games this week at 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:40.120 the position Cole Comet, George Kittle, Evan Ingram, Trey McBride, 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.760 brock Bauer's always sixteen points. Mark Andrews gets in the 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.040 end done, he gets you fifteen points. But even going 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.200 back to last week, Tucker Kraft got to twenty four, 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.600 brock Bauers over twenty, George Kittle over twenty, You had 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:54.680 you know, Isaiah Likely with you know whatever. That was 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.920 sort of a weird game, but Travis Kelce getting targets, 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.120 Kyle Pitts getting targets. So the first month plus has 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:01.840 been abysmal at the tight end position. 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.400 But it does feel like maybe guys. 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:05.840 Are starting to wake up and they're starting to get 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:07.120 integrated a little bit more. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:09.359 Maybe it was just the circumstances. 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.160 I'm not going to complain because we've been hurting for 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.160 any kind of production at that position. So maybe, just 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.640 maybe the tour, they are starting to turn the corner 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.200 for fantasy production. 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.000 We back, Yeah, we are back, at least we hope 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:23.120 we will be back. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:24.760 In just a second, We're gonna come back and talk 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.040 about some waiver wire guys and a little bit of 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.680 real or mirage. That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.200 Let's take a look at this week's waiver wire options Florida. 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.560 Who should we be checking for in Week seven? 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.360 Check for Kirk Cousins and Caleb Williams, who are both 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:49.120 still just under sixty percent roster. Daniel Jones continues to 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.680 run and he gets a good matchup against the Eagles 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.920 next week. And for you deeper league players or two 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.520 quarterback league players, Drake may I know it wasn't the 0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:00.160 prettiest game, but it was productive. And Spencer Rattler, if 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.120 you're in a two quarterback league, check if Bucky Irving 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.400 is out there, because he still floats around just about 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.920 sixty percent rostered right now. Sean Tucker, I think is 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.320 worth taking a shot on after what he did. Jalen 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.960 Warren is back for the Steelers, and then Isaac Grendo 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.520 and case Jordan Mason cannot play next week, and Tyd Chandler. 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.400 I know it's a tough matchup, but Aaron Jones did 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.560 get hurt the last time we saw the Minnesota Vikings, 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.160 so make sure to keep an eye on him. Christian 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.360 Watson and Romeo Dobbs they played really well. Jordan Love 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.600 is balling out right now, and Wix got hurt. Xavier 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.760 Lagett caught a touchdown. Rashad Bateman is probably playing a 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:39.760 little bit better as of late than he is getting 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.800 credit for a couple of colts with Alec Pearce and 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.720 Josh Downs. Damario Douglas had a lot of targets from 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.280 Drake May. I don't think that should be ignored. Kate 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.520 Aughton continues to bring a safe floor. Zach Ertz is 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:56.280 tied to one of the greatest quarterback prospects, at least 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.400 statistically speaking, that we've seen in quite some time. And 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.560 then Jay Beyond Sanders don't look now. He was second 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.480 in targets and yards for the Panthers in Week six. 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.359 I have been kind of keeping an eye on Jatavian 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.920 Sanders like he was sort of my deeply like back 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.160 pocket sort of situation. We'll see what happens. Didn't want 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.119 to ask though, about Bucky Irving and Lakwan. I'll direct 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.120 this to you because you are big on King Tuck. 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.320 Da White is still there. There was some talk from 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:27.080 Todd Bowles earlier on Monday that Tucker could work in 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:29.560 making this a three man backfield. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.159 This this feels like worst case scenario one. 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.960 Yeah, I mean Rashard White might pull an endgame where 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.160 mister Stark I don't feel so good, Like he might 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.920 be beating a way out of the backfield because King 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.240 Tuck Sean Tucker might be a real thing. Like the 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.679 numbers he put up looked like Derrick Henry numbers man, Like. 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:48.800 This is not something that I think is going to 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.240 go away. Because Sean Tucker right now, even with his 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.479 limited abilities. He's one of the best in between tackle 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.200 runners right now when it comes to rushing yards over expected. 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.919 So Bucky Irwin will have his role still in cement 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.920 being that he might be the more passed down catching back. 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.880 But Sharton Tucker man have a day man like seriously 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:08.679 putting up the numbers that he put up in this 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.000 limit of the time that he has had opportunity. For 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.840 shod Wait is in danger for his job just based 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.440 on these two running backs showing up and showing out 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.040 and showing that they have the ability to push this 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:22.640 rushing game forward. I don't know if for Shad White 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:24.960 is going to be turning back anytime soon, but I 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.560 don't know if he's going to return back to valuable 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.520 touches in his backfield. When you have two guys showcasing 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:32.840 their talents the way they've been doing it these last 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:34.160 couple of weeks. 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:35.639 All right, Well, that's a perfect way to get to 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:39.080 real or mirage as we talk about some guys who 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:40.840 went big and whether or not they can keep it 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.399 going and Florida, I will ask you about Sean Tucker. 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:46.000 I mean, what we saw is it real, is it 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.080 viable or is it a product of him sort of 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.520 playing in garbage time when the Bucks were starting to 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.080
