Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Monday, October fourteenth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, where we're wondering
Speaker 1: exactly what is a bubb means to me? Your man
Speaker 1: NAMG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f. Florio and Lakwan Jones.
Speaker 1: We are most of the way through Week six, still
Speaker 1: a Monday night game to go in Florida.
Speaker 2: This is kind of a big sports day for you
Speaker 2: on this Monday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will be at Mets Dodgers. If you think
Speaker 3: one bad loss is going to ruin my spirit, I've
Speaker 3: been through so many bad met losses in my life
Speaker 3: and then Bill's Jets for first place in the AFC,
Speaker 3: So today could be a great day, or you guys
Speaker 3: are just not going to see and hear from me
Speaker 3: for twenty four hours half. I don't know which way
Speaker 3: it's gonna go, So just.
Speaker 2: Be aware, folks.
Speaker 1: If you don't see Michael f Floria around here for
Speaker 1: a couple of days, that means his Monday did not
Speaker 1: go very well. Well.
Speaker 3: Kudos to you, though, Marcus, Kudos to you. The Dodgers
Speaker 3: ball down.
Speaker 1: It was a good game one. There's still a long
Speaker 1: way to go in the series. We'll see how things go,
Speaker 1: but we will put out a wellness check if the
Speaker 1: Mets and Bills both lose on Monday night, to make
Speaker 1: sure that you are okay. Speaking of what is okay
Speaker 1: and what is not, we're gonna go through the biggest
Speaker 1: takeaways from week six. We'll have our waiver wire, of course,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna play a little bit of real or
Speaker 1: mirage with some guys who put up some big numbers.
Speaker 2: We're gonna find out whether or not we think these
Speaker 2: can continue.
Speaker 1: But let's start, as we always do, with some fantasy headlines.
Speaker 2: And big one.
Speaker 1: After what we saw in London this past week, Travis
Speaker 1: Eten left the game with a hamstring injury. Lakwan, it
Speaker 1: seemed very convenient that his leaving with a hamstring injury
Speaker 1: was after he put the ball on the ground and
Speaker 1: it worked out it was ruled an incomplete pass and
Speaker 1: not a fumble. But Lakwan, we have seen a trend
Speaker 1: recently of Etn being outplayed by Tank Bigsby. Now there's
Speaker 1: this hamstring injury. We'll see how long it sort of lingers.
Speaker 1: But is Etn in danger of losing his job with.
Speaker 4: The Jaguars, absolutely, because we're on the same frequency. It
Speaker 4: was just so convenient this hamstring came out of nowhere
Speaker 4: after that fumble. But more so we're looking at you know,
Speaker 4: Tank Bixby and how he's been playing these last couple
Speaker 4: of weeks, and like, I'm not gonna look at the
Speaker 4: last game and you know against the Bears, just based
Speaker 4: on they kind of gave up in that first half
Speaker 4: like it was always it was like basically the writing
Speaker 4: was on the wall that the game was over and
Speaker 4: the Bears were about to run away with it. But
Speaker 4: more so looking at next week they got the Patriots,
Speaker 4: This is a game that Tank basically could show up,
Speaker 4: show whow, get in between the tackles, rush outside, and
Speaker 4: be explosive all around as the lead back. But more
Speaker 4: so you have to worry about the Ernest Johnson as
Speaker 4: well as getting snaps. So it looks like Travis Etn
Speaker 4: going to be sidelined for for some time with this
Speaker 4: hamstring injury. Maybe who knows, but more and so looking
Speaker 4: at this backfield, it just looked better functioning with these
Speaker 4: two running backs, Tank Bixby taken up with the head,
Speaker 4: so Etn managers, I definitely would be a little bit
Speaker 4: worried right now.
Speaker 1: Bigsby this past week of Florio not a great stat line,
Speaker 1: seven carries for twenty four yards, did not have a
Speaker 1: catch in the ballgame. But all things consider, if ETN
Speaker 1: is missing time is I won't say is he a
Speaker 1: must start? But how good do you feel about getting
Speaker 1: Bigsby in the your lineup?
Speaker 3: It's matchup dependent, like this week against the Patriots. If
Speaker 3: ETN is out and I'm sitting ETN whether he plays
Speaker 3: or not this week, But if ETN is out, then
Speaker 3: I think Bigsby is someone you want to start because
Speaker 3: they'll already be in London. That's a huge advantage that
Speaker 3: they have over the Patriots who now have to fly
Speaker 3: to London. Patriots have been really struggling on defense. You
Speaker 3: can put up numbers against them. But to Lakwan's point,
Speaker 3: Deeranis Johnson got all of the passing reps because for
Speaker 3: some reason they just do not trust Tank Bigsby in
Speaker 3: the passing game. So he's very gamescript dependent because games
Speaker 3: where they fall behind and are in catchup mode, it
Speaker 3: could look a lot like it did yesterday where Tank
Speaker 3: bigs He gave you like two and a half fantasy points.
Speaker 3: So the best case scenario, as bad as Travis Etn
Speaker 3: has been, is et gets healthy and continues to get
Speaker 3: that workload because he is the only one that they
Speaker 3: trust to do both run on the ground and be
Speaker 3: used in the passing game. Otherwise it's kind of they're
Speaker 3: splitting it, and that's not great for fantasy purposes.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: The other part of this is the Jaguars offense just
Speaker 1: has not been great. So whoever it is we're plugging
Speaker 1: in is going as part of an offense. It's just
Speaker 1: is not moving the ball and scoring a whole lot
Speaker 1: of points. A couple of other injury notes to pay
Speaker 1: attention to. Marvin Harrison Junior left the Cardinals game against
Speaker 1: Backers on Sunday with a concussion.
Speaker 2: We'll keep an eye on him as he goes through
Speaker 2: the protocol.
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard was ruled out of the Eagles game with
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury, so we will see what is up
Speaker 1: with him as it goes along. But it's nice to
Speaker 1: see aj Brown Devanta Smith back in action for Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: But we'll see how long this issue could keep Dallas
Speaker 1: Goddard out of action. Let's take a look at some
Speaker 1: of the week's top scores. Of course, the Monday night
Speaker 1: game still pending. Caleb Williams looking solid for the Bears
Speaker 1: over in London, two hundred and twenty six passing yards,
Speaker 1: four passing touchdowns, did have the interception, which was the
Speaker 1: first thing he talked to Stacy Dale was about after
Speaker 1: the game, but fifty six rushing yards as well, nearly
Speaker 1: twenty nine points for him. Sean Tucker comes out of nowhere?
Speaker 1: Would you call him the King Tuck? I think is
Speaker 1: what you call him on Twitter? Look wi on Sunday
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty six rushing yards other fifty six
Speaker 1: receiving yards, had a touchdown thirty four point two points
Speaker 1: for him. Chris Godwin having a day eleven for a
Speaker 1: buck twenty five and two tudies thirty five and a
Speaker 1: half points there. Cole Commets making London kids forget about
Speaker 1: Marcedes Lewis and the annals of great tight ends five catches,
Speaker 1: seventy yards and two touchdowns twenty four points. Jake Bates
Speaker 1: for the Lions four mayfield goals, five pats and the
Speaker 1: Lions dst four sacks, five takeaways at nine points allowed
Speaker 1: eighteen fantasy points as the Lions demolish the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Everyone came from three teams like all scores.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, Bears, Bucks, Lions, that was and two
Speaker 1: of them in the same division. The NFC North is
Speaker 1: looking like a problem right now. That good how get
Speaker 1: those teams are? But I look and we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: some individual fantasy heroes, lakwan, I guess, I guess we
Speaker 1: keep it going in the the NFC North.
Speaker 4: Yes, finally Keenan Allen shows up and puts up some
Speaker 4: big fantasy points. Man, Like, I don't know how long
Speaker 4: I've been waiting for this because all suwhere we're trying
Speaker 4: to figure out which wide receiver we should get. It's
Speaker 4: a DJ Moore's a Roma Doons and I've stuck with
Speaker 4: the state bet that it would be Keenan Allen. But
Speaker 4: he finally showed up. And I think it has a
Speaker 4: lot to do with Caleb Williams and how he's playing
Speaker 4: right now. And I think we'll get into Cayleb Williams
Speaker 4: later in the show, but more so looking at how
Speaker 4: Keenan Allen caught his passes double tapped in the end zone,
Speaker 4: This is great news for a lot of fantasy managers
Speaker 4: that had him on the bench. He was on bench
Speaker 4: row almost about to be dropped by some managers, and
Speaker 4: that would be me because other guys were just performing better.
Speaker 4: But more so, this is great that he has shown
Speaker 4: some life and hopefully Cayla Williams can still keep on
Speaker 4: playing at a top level and Keenan Allen keeps on
Speaker 4: finding himself in the end zone.
Speaker 1: I know it is the thing that Adam Rank talked
Speaker 1: about during the week. You know, he'd had conversations. He
Speaker 1: does his podcast, which you can check out. But some
Speaker 1: of the other guys told him this was going to
Speaker 1: be the Keenan Allen week, and sure enough it was,
Speaker 1: with a pair of touchdowns for him Floria. I guess
Speaker 1: we can talk about somebody not in the NFC North
Speaker 1: for once. I guess if we have to.
Speaker 3: I was so happy to have aj Brown back, who
Speaker 3: was not only the player that I drafted the most
Speaker 3: in the first round this year, but I was making
Speaker 3: some bold claims, saying like I'd rather have this guy
Speaker 3: than justin Jefferson. And Week one looks great and then
Speaker 3: he pulls his hamstring at practice and we don't see
Speaker 3: him for a month. But Aj Brown has played two
Speaker 3: games this year, he is averaging twenty three Fantasy points
Speaker 3: per game. He has at least nine targets in both
Speaker 3: of them, over one hundred and fifteen yards and a
Speaker 3: touchdown in each of those games. I know his end
Speaker 3: of season numbers are going to get hurt by these injuries,
Speaker 3: but on a per game basis, AJ Brown has a
Speaker 3: chance to be the wide receiver won this year, largely
Speaker 3: because partly because some of the other big names that
Speaker 3: we're going ahead of him aren't quite living up to expectations,
Speaker 3: but also because this guy is just bawling out. He's
Speaker 3: one of the best deep receivers in the NFL, and
Speaker 3: now he has an OC that is building his offense
Speaker 3: around getting the deep ball and getting to AJ Brown
Speaker 3: and really getting him going downfield. So I feel great
Speaker 3: about AJ Brown moving forward. And yeah, if you have him,
Speaker 3: obviously you're starting him each and every week. But it
Speaker 3: was worth the wait to get AJ Brown back.
Speaker 1: It was so nice to go through and set lineups
Speaker 1: this week and say, like, oh, AJ Brown, I can
Speaker 1: put him back, Oh, right, Devinta Smith can put him
Speaker 1: back in. Like that was so refreshing. It was so
Speaker 1: nice to be able to like, slide those guys back
Speaker 1: into the lineup and nice to see them produce as well.
Speaker 1: Normally I tend to go off menu with my fantasy
Speaker 1: hero looking at the list of the top scorers, but
Speaker 1: this time I just had to shout out Caleb Williams
Speaker 1: for not only what he did this past week against
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, but for what he's been doing the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks leading this Chicago Bears offense. Remember after
Speaker 1: the first two games, people were like, oh, Caleb Williams,
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe he's overrated. It's almost like we
Speaker 1: should wait more than two games before we make a
Speaker 1: judgment on any player in the National Football League. But
Speaker 1: you look back over the last three weeks, Caleb Williams
Speaker 1: with seven touchdown passes, just one interception. And yes, he's
Speaker 1: done it against some defenses that aren't particularly great. It's
Speaker 1: been the Rams, the Panthers, and the Jaguars. But so
Speaker 1: what the fact is, you can only play who you
Speaker 1: can play. The Bears offense looks like it's coming together.
Speaker 1: We have seen Caleb get time to throw, we have
Speaker 1: seen him make some just baller throws. And a thing
Speaker 1: that I loved yesterday was seeing him run with the
Speaker 1: football as well, getting you fifty six rushing yards. That
Speaker 1: is no small feat. One of the things that I
Speaker 1: said about him, that a lot of people said about
Speaker 1: him is that when he runs, he's not gonna run
Speaker 1: the way Jayden Daniels or Lamar Jackson does. He is
Speaker 1: going to run sort of the way Patrick Mahomes does.
Speaker 1: He will do it to make plays or do it
Speaker 1: to keep the sticks moving, and when he sees an opening,
Speaker 1: he will take off.
Speaker 2: He saw a lot of that against Jacksonville in Week six.
Speaker 1: Hopefully it continues, especially because you look at the Bears
Speaker 1: upcoming schedule, it is pretty nice. They have a buy
Speaker 1: coming up this week. But then they go to Washington,
Speaker 1: they go to Arizona, So a couple of nice games
Speaker 1: for Caleb Williams in a chance for him to kind
Speaker 1: of keep this run going a little bit.
Speaker 3: Please tell me that Bears Commanders is an island game.
Speaker 2: That is a good question. No, it is not, at
Speaker 2: least not.
Speaker 1: Of not as of yeahs, because of now it is
Speaker 1: early games one day in week eight. Yeah, it's part
Speaker 1: of the for us out here in the West Coast.
Speaker 1: It's the ten am game, the one pm game on
Speaker 1: the East Coast for now. For now, that's an opportunity
Speaker 1: yeah here, And it's our flexing game yet because if so,
Speaker 1: that'd be nice to maybe flex that one into Sunday night.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they can do that yet. Anyway,
Speaker 2: those are our fantasy heroes for the week.
Speaker 1: Let's look at some of our big takeaways as we
Speaker 1: zoom out to thirty thousand feet. What did you learn
Speaker 1: from what you saw on Sunday?
Speaker 4: Look on, Oh, man, Joe Mixon is back on track.
Speaker 4: Almost messed that up, but man, I definitely feel though
Speaker 4: this is what the Texans offense has been missing, like
Speaker 4: this was literally the missing piece that their run game
Speaker 4: because it was god awful, you know, the last couple
Speaker 4: of weeks that Joe Mixon missed. But it's good to
Speaker 4: see that business is back on track with him putting
Speaker 4: up one hundred plus yards because we saw in week
Speaker 4: one put up one to fifty nine, which is still
Speaker 4: in the most yards, second most yards in the game.
Speaker 4: When we're looking at Joe Mixon, how he's just so
Speaker 4: explosive at the returning back from this ankle injury. And
Speaker 4: I think the train just keeps on going with Joe Mixon.
Speaker 4: I think this is going to be one of his
Speaker 4: best seasons. You know, he did get injured, but if
Speaker 4: he stays healthy the rest of the season, I don't
Speaker 4: see how he's not a top three running back in
Speaker 4: this league, just based on how this Texans offense is
Speaker 4: hitting on all cylinders when he's in the game.
Speaker 1: I mean, it just felt like Houston was maybe the
Speaker 1: best possible fit for him after it looked like he
Speaker 1: was gonna leave Cincinnati, and when we have seen him healthy,
Speaker 1: he's been amazing. I mean, cam Akers, Dario Ogenbiwalle, I mean,
Speaker 1: they sort of fit within a role. But I was
Speaker 1: saying yesterday it makes them more predictable. I think when
Speaker 1: when you have cam Akers out there, you are you
Speaker 1: can bet they're going to run the ball.
Speaker 2: When it's Ogen Biwalle, you can pretty much bet they're
Speaker 2: going to throw the ball.
Speaker 1: Jill makes It gives them a little bit more flexibility there, Floria.
Speaker 1: We said, if Laporter Sam Laporter didn't do big things,
Speaker 1: is it panic time? He did a big thing, like
Speaker 1: literally one big thing. So how are we feeling about
Speaker 1: him now?
Speaker 3: Uh? In the moment he catches that fifty two yard
Speaker 3: touchdown and You're like, Wow, he has outscored his four
Speaker 3: previous games in just one play. Then you think about
Speaker 3: it and you're like, oh, one play beat every other
Speaker 3: game he had this year. And then you look at
Speaker 3: the box score and you're like, oh, that was the
Speaker 3: only target he had all game. Yeah, I am worried that. Yes,
Speaker 3: it was a fifty two yard touchdown. His loan target
Speaker 3: came on a trick play where like four other players
Speaker 3: touched the ball, and then you look at it. He
Speaker 3: he was behind in targets, behind not only the running
Speaker 3: like Jamison Williams and a Monro Saint Brown and Jamier
Speaker 3: Gibbs what you expect, but Khalif Rayman and Tim Patrick
Speaker 3: had more targets than him, and Laporta is averaging just
Speaker 3: three targets per game right now through five weeks. So
Speaker 3: I am still worried about him. I think this is
Speaker 3: a cell high window now, Like people are gonna see
Speaker 3: that play, They're gonna remember laporter from last year, know
Speaker 3: how bad tight end is. If you could flip him
Speaker 3: right now, Like I've been in talks about sending a
Speaker 3: package of like Laporta and another wide receiver on my
Speaker 3: team for David Montgomery or something like that, like try
Speaker 3: to get rid of Laporta.
Speaker 2: This week if you could sell high.
Speaker 1: I think what's wild is that in a game where
Speaker 1: the Lions scored forty seven points, I'm on, Aron Saint
Speaker 1: Brown and Sam Laporta combined for five catches for eighty
Speaker 1: nine yards. I mean, they just had a touchdown, which
Speaker 1: was sort of nice, but they were not really the
Speaker 1: focal point of the offense for the Lions. Yeah, from on, Rod,
Speaker 1: don't think we're really concerned for Sam Laporta. I think
Speaker 1: we are very concerned. But I guess me to my point,
Speaker 1: which is that, aside from Loporda, tight ends might be
Speaker 1: starting to put some things together for fantasy managers. You
Speaker 1: did have a lot of big games this week at
Speaker 1: the position Cole Comet, George Kittle, Evan Ingram, Trey McBride,
Speaker 1: brock Bauer's always sixteen points. Mark Andrews gets in the
Speaker 1: end done, he gets you fifteen points. But even going
Speaker 1: back to last week, Tucker Kraft got to twenty four,
Speaker 1: brock Bauers over twenty, George Kittle over twenty, You had
Speaker 1: you know, Isaiah Likely with you know whatever. That was
Speaker 1: sort of a weird game, but Travis Kelce getting targets,
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts getting targets. So the first month plus has
Speaker 1: been abysmal at the tight end position.
Speaker 2: But it does feel like maybe guys.
Speaker 1: Are starting to wake up and they're starting to get
Speaker 1: integrated a little bit more.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was just the circumstances.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to complain because we've been hurting for
Speaker 1: any kind of production at that position. So maybe, just
Speaker 1: maybe the tour, they are starting to turn the corner
Speaker 1: for fantasy production.
Speaker 2: We back, Yeah, we are back, at least we hope
Speaker 2: we will be back.
Speaker 1: In just a second, We're gonna come back and talk
Speaker 1: about some waiver wire guys and a little bit of
Speaker 1: real or mirage. That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at this week's waiver wire options Florida.
Speaker 1: Who should we be checking for in Week seven?
Speaker 3: Check for Kirk Cousins and Caleb Williams, who are both
Speaker 3: still just under sixty percent roster. Daniel Jones continues to
Speaker 3: run and he gets a good matchup against the Eagles
Speaker 3: next week. And for you deeper league players or two
Speaker 3: quarterback league players, Drake may I know it wasn't the
Speaker 3: prettiest game, but it was productive. And Spencer Rattler, if
Speaker 3: you're in a two quarterback league, check if Bucky Irving
Speaker 3: is out there, because he still floats around just about
Speaker 3: sixty percent rostered right now. Sean Tucker, I think is
Speaker 3: worth taking a shot on after what he did. Jalen
Speaker 3: Warren is back for the Steelers, and then Isaac Grendo
Speaker 3: and case Jordan Mason cannot play next week, and Tyd Chandler.
Speaker 3: I know it's a tough matchup, but Aaron Jones did
Speaker 3: get hurt the last time we saw the Minnesota Vikings,
Speaker 3: so make sure to keep an eye on him. Christian
Speaker 3: Watson and Romeo Dobbs they played really well. Jordan Love
Speaker 3: is balling out right now, and Wix got hurt. Xavier
Speaker 3: Lagett caught a touchdown. Rashad Bateman is probably playing a
Speaker 3: little bit better as of late than he is getting
Speaker 3: credit for a couple of colts with Alec Pearce and
Speaker 3: Josh Downs. Damario Douglas had a lot of targets from
Speaker 3: Drake May. I don't think that should be ignored. Kate
Speaker 3: Aughton continues to bring a safe floor. Zach Ertz is
Speaker 3: tied to one of the greatest quarterback prospects, at least
Speaker 3: statistically speaking, that we've seen in quite some time. And
Speaker 3: then Jay Beyond Sanders don't look now. He was second
Speaker 3: in targets and yards for the Panthers in Week six.
Speaker 1: I have been kind of keeping an eye on Jatavian
Speaker 1: Sanders like he was sort of my deeply like back
Speaker 1: pocket sort of situation. We'll see what happens. Didn't want
Speaker 1: to ask though, about Bucky Irving and Lakwan. I'll direct
Speaker 1: this to you because you are big on King Tuck.
Speaker 1: Da White is still there. There was some talk from
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles earlier on Monday that Tucker could work in
Speaker 1: making this a three man backfield.
Speaker 2: This this feels like worst case scenario one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Rashard White might pull an endgame where
Speaker 4: mister Stark I don't feel so good, Like he might
Speaker 4: be beating a way out of the backfield because King
Speaker 4: Tuck Sean Tucker might be a real thing. Like the
Speaker 4: numbers he put up looked like Derrick Henry numbers man, Like.
Speaker 4: This is not something that I think is going to
Speaker 4: go away. Because Sean Tucker right now, even with his
Speaker 4: limited abilities. He's one of the best in between tackle
Speaker 4: runners right now when it comes to rushing yards over expected.
Speaker 4: So Bucky Irwin will have his role still in cement
Speaker 4: being that he might be the more passed down catching back.
Speaker 4: But Sharton Tucker man have a day man like seriously
Speaker 4: putting up the numbers that he put up in this
Speaker 4: limit of the time that he has had opportunity. For
Speaker 4: shod Wait is in danger for his job just based
Speaker 4: on these two running backs showing up and showing out
Speaker 4: and showing that they have the ability to push this
Speaker 4: rushing game forward. I don't know if for Shad White
Speaker 4: is going to be turning back anytime soon, but I
Speaker 4: don't know if he's going to return back to valuable
Speaker 4: touches in his backfield. When you have two guys showcasing
Speaker 4: their talents the way they've been doing it these last
Speaker 4: couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's a perfect way to get to
Speaker 1: real or mirage as we talk about some guys who
Speaker 1: went big and whether or not they can keep it
Speaker 1: going and Florida, I will ask you about Sean Tucker.
Speaker 1: I mean, what we saw is it real, is it
Speaker 1: viable or is it a product of him sort of
Speaker 1: playing in garbage time when the Bucks were starting to
Speaker 1: run away with that thing against Spencer Ratler and the Saints.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna call mirage here. I'm not doubting like Tucker
Speaker 3: and his talent and everything like that, but prior to yesterday,
Speaker 3: he had three touches on this season, and like you said,
Speaker 3: look a couple of big runs, but it was a
Speaker 3: game that was largely out of hand. I think this
Speaker 3: is worst case scenario for Bucky Irving and Rashad White
Speaker 3: because if it's three backs getting involved, I don't want
Speaker 3: really any part of that for fantasy. But I don't
Speaker 3: think Rashad White is just going to go away either.
Speaker 3: So I think you take a shot on Sean Tucker
Speaker 3: see if he could build on this. But I'm not
Speaker 3: going to be spending a ton of fab or anything like.
Speaker 2: That on him. One thing I learned yesterday there is
Speaker 2: a Sean Tucker hive. Man.
Speaker 1: He started bawling, and like all of a sudden, all
Speaker 1: these people were just like, yeah, man, I don't doubt that.
Speaker 2: People always believe I just I just didn't know a
Speaker 2: thing existed, that's all. I was just surprised.
Speaker 1: I was just surprised that a thing like that existed
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Is a Flowers with a couple of big
Speaker 1: games back to back. I know a lot of folks
Speaker 1: saw this so at least predicted this one coming this
Speaker 1: week against the Commanders. But I mean, kwan as we
Speaker 1: look around and we've all been frustrated by the Ravens
Speaker 1: tight ends, but be that Zay Flowers is the pass
Speaker 1: catcher we want in Baltimore.
Speaker 4: Yes, this is real, just based on the back to
Speaker 4: back career high as he's had. I mean, this is
Speaker 4: honestly working. Like I'm liking this new identity that the
Speaker 4: Ravens have on offense right now. They're probably one of
Speaker 4: the best offenses in the NFL right now based on
Speaker 4: this rushing attack with King Henry back there, Lamar Jackson
Speaker 4: playing some of his best football right now. And when
Speaker 4: Lamar's playing his best football, as you could see, Zay
Speaker 4: Flowers becomes more electric as the drives go on. So
Speaker 4: I think more so if you have Zay Flowers, you're
Speaker 4: sitting there happy that you're able to get him where
Speaker 4: you got him in draft. But I think this may
Speaker 4: be a real thing for the rest of the season.
Speaker 4: They show fuel confident about Jay Flowers and those starting lineups.
Speaker 1: Last two games, twenty one targets, sixteen catches, two hundred
Speaker 1: and forty three receiving yards for Jay Flowers.
Speaker 2: Still just the one touchdown.
Speaker 1: Way back in Week two, but you gotta figure with
Speaker 1: this sort of target another touchdown is probably coming for him.
Speaker 3: He had a career high in yards yesterday. It all
Speaker 3: came in the first half.
Speaker 1: Insane, that's wild, Yes, exactly wild. I mentioned sight ins
Speaker 1: I think starting to wake up. Evan Ingram might be
Speaker 1: the hero we have been asking for for a wild
Speaker 1: ten catches, I mean immediately comes back and gets a
Speaker 1: ton of opportunity.
Speaker 2: And we saw this last year.
Speaker 1: But I mean I gotta asked because in the year
Speaker 1: where tight ends have been frustrating us, is this for
Speaker 1: real with Evan Ingram?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say I obviously was a big doubter
Speaker 3: of Evan Ingram and so far this year. Look, Week
Speaker 3: one wasn't great. Then he got hurt and missed a
Speaker 3: bunch of time. But we do know that he is
Speaker 3: a favorite of Trevor Lawrence's. And if you were getting
Speaker 3: consistent volume at the tight end position, you are real
Speaker 3: and you are worth starting. So Yeah, Evan Ingram ten
Speaker 3: catches one hundred and two yards. I know he had
Speaker 3: a fumble, but he was clearly someone that Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 3: was making a conscious effort to get the ball to
Speaker 3: and him and Brian Thomas Junior are making it tougher
Speaker 3: and tougher. Now, it seems to trust Christian Kirk because
Speaker 3: the bar for tight end is so much lower that
Speaker 3: I'm going to start Evan Ingram if I have him,
Speaker 3: Whereas for a wide receiver, I think it might be
Speaker 3: time to try to get away from Kirk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's just I don't know. I feel
Speaker 1: like because he and Evan Ingram sort of exist within
Speaker 1: the same area on the field, you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: lean with the tight end just because, as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: the bar for a quality tight end start is so
Speaker 1: much lower than it is for a quality wide receiver start.
Speaker 1: We know Brian Thomas has the downfield opportunities sort of
Speaker 1: on lock in this offense, so we'll see.
Speaker 2: Also, just again, Jaguars offense just not what we want
Speaker 2: it to be. Too much.
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis a lot of Game Davis, a lot of
Speaker 1: Gay Davis.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't care I'll never roster Bill's fans
Speaker 4: know all about that for sure.
Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about one of our favorite moments from
Speaker 1: the past week. Doing a lot on the celebration front,
Speaker 1: a lot of Disney type celebrations going on last week.
Speaker 1: Was it the Packers with the Who's the pack was
Speaker 1: it with the the parent Trap celebration? Vikings with the
Speaker 1: parents celebration, That's who it was. This week Disney Classic
Speaker 1: and it's NFC North Teens. It's David Montgomery with the
Speaker 1: Disney Channel celebration, just drawing the logo here. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what what's what spawned it? What what
Speaker 1: created this?
Speaker 3: So So I was a Nickelodeon kid growing up. Disney
Speaker 3: Channel was always number two for me. But they always
Speaker 3: in their commercial breaks they would have their child actors
Speaker 3: and stars and stuff draw the Mickey Mouse logos. So
Speaker 3: like if you were watching like even Stevens or Kim Possible,
Speaker 3: or there was this Disney movie it was about basketball.
Speaker 3: Ther Go to Move was the worst travel You've ever
Speaker 3: seen in your life. Anytime you watched anything like that,
Speaker 3: you would see them draw the Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 2: So I thought this was dope. Oh, I thought it
Speaker 2: was dope too.
Speaker 1: I'm just like wondering, Like somebody's asked David Montgomery like
Speaker 1: why what what brought this back?
Speaker 2: Was he? You know?
Speaker 3: Ye?
Speaker 1: What was he like sitting around the kids watching David
Speaker 1: Fins or something like what is happening here?
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know why is Oh.
Speaker 3: He's twenty seven years old. He grew up watching like
Speaker 3: even Stevens and stuff like, Oh no, it's very much
Speaker 3: in his wheelhouse, for sure, it's in his wheelhouse.
Speaker 2: I just sort of came out of nowhere. That's all.
Speaker 1: But absolutely, absolutely a moment that we loved in Week six.
Speaker 2: In the meantime for us, that is it. We are done.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Show presented by Uber Eats. You know the drill, tell
Speaker 1: two friends to tell two friends rate review and remember
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as fun for the whole family.
