1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Hello everybody, Welcome into the Fantasy pros Football Podcast. I'm 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Ryan Warmley, joined as I am every Tuesday by Andrew Rickson. 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: We are talking predictions for Week sixteen. It is the 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: semi finals of the Fantasy playoffs. Ericson how many leagues 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: are we still alive in handful? 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 2: The one that I care about the most, I did 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 2: move on because I had the Trevor Lawrence Travis UTN 8 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 2: stack that just went absolutely nuclear. 9 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 3: So I'm really happy about that. 10 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: But as I talked about last week, I had a 11 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: lot of six seeded teams and some of them didn't 12 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: stand a chance. I got destroyed in a couple spots 13 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: where it didn't matter who I played, it had no 14 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: shot of advancing. So again, when you have a handful teams, 15 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 2: you're always gonna lose ones every single week as we 16 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: trudge on through the playoff rounds. But as long as 17 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: you have a couple live bullets, give you a good sweat. 18 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: Shouts to my buddy Body, who I've been playing fantasy 19 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: with for a very, very long time. It's probably the 20 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: person outside of my coworkers that I talked Fantasy football 21 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: with the most often. He had Trevor Lawrence and Kyle 22 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: Pitts on a team and also Josh Allen. It's a 23 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: super flex league and had to buy this week, so 24 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: it was totally wasted. Didn't even get to count for anything. 25 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: So this team's obviously good. He's advancing, but what a 26 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: waste of too, just like career games that we're probably 27 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: never going to see again, at least on that level. Yeah, 28 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: I have of my fourteen leagues, I'm still alive in 29 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: eight of them. But this has happened in the last 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: two years where I've gotten like eight or nine teams 31 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: to the semifinals and then I've gotten absolutely destroyed, just 32 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: like I think across the last two years, I've made 33 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: like one finals and out of like sixteen teams in 34 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: the semifinals across those two years. So it's Week sixteen 35 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: has obliterated me the last couple of years. 36 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 4: Hoping that won't be the case yet again, We'll see 37 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 4: what happens this week. 38 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: We'll try to help out everybody else you know, trying 39 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: to advance in their own leagues. Here with our predictions 40 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: for the week. Quick recap. We both went won a 41 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: four last week. We were above five hundred in our 42 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: first week of doing this feeling good. We're gonna crush 43 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: us all year, and we both one of four. I 44 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: will say both of the ones we hit we're our 45 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: hard rock best bet of the week it was, are 46 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: number one. 47 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 4: We're the ones that we eat shit. 48 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: We just did really badly the rest of it, so 49 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: we're going to try and bounce back here. Overall records 50 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 1: for both of us are four and six. 51 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: So if you're listening to the show, just skip to 52 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: the last predictions because those are the only ones that 53 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: are stone cold locks to actually happen. 54 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: Well, we did justify in the first week. It was 55 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: you know this, this is the week where we took 56 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: a step back. It's okay, We're gonna bounce back here. 57 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: By the way, I just start some housekeeping for everybody. 58 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: We're not doing the show next week. The show is 59 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: not ending. We are going to be back for week 60 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: eighteen and actually back for the playoffs. So we've done 61 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: this last couple of years. But next week, just with 62 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: all the shows we are trying to get out during 63 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: Christmas week and not trying to put too much on 64 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: the production side of things, we are not doing this 65 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: show next week. It's just a one week Kyats. We 66 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: will be back for week eighteen, and because the nature 67 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: of the show is predictions and kind of some prop 68 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: prop bets too, it will continue into the playoffs as well. 69 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 4: So that's the housekeeping there. 70 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm okay not talking about this Monday night football game, Ericson, 71 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: Is there anything you want to talk about from this game? 72 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it was for a game that scored forty 73 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: three points, it was remarkably unhelpful for fantasy managers and 74 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: like kind of a boring game to watch. 75 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 4: You know. 76 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: Hayward and John new Smith were the two rushing touchdowns 77 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: for the Steelers, right, DK did have fifty five yards 78 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,839 Speaker 1: in a touchdown, which was helpful. Mvs said the other 79 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: touchdown for Pittsburgh and then the Dolphins side, I mean 80 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: TWOA just continues to look absolutely dreadful. 81 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: Waller had two touchdowns. 82 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: But basically unless you have a DK metcalf for Darren Waller, 83 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: you probably were pretty unhappy coming out of this game. 84 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: I think if anything, it just kind of sets the 85 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: stage up for next week with these teams and the 86 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: matchups that they're playing. You have the Steelers facing the 87 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: Detroit Lions, so that's a matchup where you're looking at Okay, 88 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: this could be high scoring you feel good about. Do 89 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: you get a CAF in that matchup. He's kind of 90 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: been on a huge the last couple of weeks. Aaron 91 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: Rodgers is a streaming quarterback. He was super efficient in 92 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: this game. We have twenty seven passing to twenty four 93 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: and two touchdowns. Spreading the ball out again, not throwing 94 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: four bonkers numbers, but in a good matchup next week, 95 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: if you need a quarterback, I think Aaron Rodgers is 96 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: kind of in play there. Backfield's kind of a muddy 97 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: mess here with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jalen Warren wasn't added 98 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 2: to the injury report late on Monday. It didn't really 99 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: seem to influence his usage that much, although he was 100 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: much a much more inefficient compared torchanic Gainwell, who also 101 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: continues to just be a monster in a passing game. 102 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 3: For Aaron Rodgers, that's a good point. 103 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: You were not unhappy if you started Gainwell. I said 104 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: it was just Metcalf and Waller. Gainwell too. Seven catches 105 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: for forty six yards plus eighty on the ground, even 106 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: though he didn't get a touchdown. 107 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: That was a good day. 108 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a good day, and then on the 109 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: Waller side, he didn't really do much in the first half. 110 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: Basically it was kind of in garbage time when Darren 111 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 2: Waller was just the Steelers are kind of playing off 112 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,239 Speaker 2: coverage and he's just absolutely feasting dudes in the red zone, 113 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: just turning what Darren Waller does. But you know he 114 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: plays next week Cincinnati Bengals, so he's gonna catch touchdowns. 115 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 3: He's gonna do it. He's going to do. 116 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: Unless Darren Waller gets hurt, it's probably gonna be tight 117 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: end one next week. So I didn't put him on 118 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 2: my predictions for a tight end one because I had 119 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: to let Waller get through the game first, and full disclosure, 120 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: we put the show sheet together before Monday night conclude, 121 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: so I didn't want to risk it by putting Darren 122 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: Waller in the sheet. But when I'm doing my Week 123 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: sixteen rankings for tight ends, Waller's gonna be pretty high 124 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: up there because of the matchup against Cincinnati Bengals that 125 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: we know that just cannot be stopped unless the quarterback 126 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: only tenps twelve passes, which happened with Lamar Jackson last 127 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: week when the Ravens Titans bombed against the Cincinnati Bengals. 128 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 3: I think that this game is gonna be high scoring. 129 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: This game is going to be played in Miami, so 130 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: you're not dealing with two outdoors in the cold because 131 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: it's a home game for them. And I think Darren 132 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 2: Waller again, the usage has been really strong this year, 133 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 2: especially in the red zone. The guy's been a touchdown machine. 134 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: So he's definitely going to be on the tight end 135 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: radar for Week sixteen in the semifinals. 136 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: Let's stump into our predictions for the week. He you're 137 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: going five to one roughly in order we kind of 138 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: move it around. If we want to talk about like 139 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: two teams, we'll put them together if they're in the 140 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: same game, just to kind of make it flow a 141 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: little more naturally. The real one is, like the number 142 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: one prediction is the hard rock best bet of the week. 143 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: We'll get to that at the end of the show. 144 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: The rest the order is kind of, you know, we 145 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: move it around a bit here, but roughly going five 146 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: to one. Eric, say, kick us off with your number 147 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: five prediction. 148 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: She's trying to lose to the Titans this week. YEP, 149 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: playing on the road in Nashville, I think that this 150 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: is just a flat spot for Kansas City. They just 151 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 2: got knocked out of the playoffs for the first time 152 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: in the Mahomes era. Mahomes is out for the rest 153 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: of the season, hopefully going to return to the start 154 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 2: of next year, but acl injury, we don't exactly know 155 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 2: the extent of how complicated injury it's going to be. 156 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 2: I just think that this Chiefs team is going to 157 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 2: be really deflated, Like what are they playing for again? 158 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 3: Pride? 159 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 2: Like that's the biggest thing here. And it's still Andy 160 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: Reid one of the best head coaches in the NFL 161 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 2: and NFL history, and I think that in most cases 162 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 2: he's going be able to get his guys up for 163 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: this game. But like the way that Travis Kelsey's talked 164 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: about this year, kind of sounding more defeated than inspired 165 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: in any capacity. He's mealy chairs swift this summer, Like, dude, 166 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 2: you got three games left that you can't make the player, Like, 167 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 2: what's the point here for the Chiefs? Their offensive line 168 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: is such a mess. And Jeffery Simmons, the Titans defensive tackle, 169 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 2: the dude has been on a heater the last couple 170 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: of weeks. He's played like a man possessed, like he's 171 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: ricking havoc on the interior of offensive lines, and I 172 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: think that's a big problem for the Kansas City Chiefs. 173 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: Mahomes last week was pressured on nearly fifty percent of 174 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: his dropbacks against the Chargers, second highest pressure rate of 175 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: the season. I know that Minshew can make plays with 176 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: his legs, but I think that this game is gonna 177 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: be much closer than the spread would suggest. I think 178 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: the Chiefs are just kind of getting the benefit of 179 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: the doubt. Oh well, it's the Chiefs and the Titans 180 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: have been terrible all year, so we're gonna just get 181 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 2: make the Chiefs the favorites in this game. I have 182 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: major concerns about them getting knocked out here again, kind 183 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: of being hit while they're already down. So I think 184 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: that the Chiefs could lose outright to the Titans, and 185 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: as a result, I think Tony Pollard could kind of 186 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 2: have another solid game like top twenty four running back 187 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: two straight weeks. I think this is gonna be the 188 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 2: third week in a row he can be a top 189 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 2: twenty four guy. I'm glad that we talked about him 190 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: on the Ranking Show last weekcause I was kind of, man, 191 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: this feels like a sucker's play going after Tony Pollard 192 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 2: a monster game against the Browns and what do you do? 193 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: He had another really productive game twenty touches per game. 194 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: Over the last two weeks, He's gone over his rushing 195 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 2: art prop in three straight games. So I like Tony 196 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 2: Pollard to play pretty productively in this game here against 197 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 2: the Chiefs and Ites a tough defense, but last three 198 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: games that they've given up allowed over fifty eight rushing 199 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: yards to that lead running back. So Tony Pollard's rushing 200 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: arts prop it's at fifty one and a half yards 201 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: for this week. I think he's going over here. And 202 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: one other element to note about Tony Pollard, what is 203 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: he playing for contract incentives? Yes, guys, don't forget about 204 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 2: contract incentive sison here. If he hits one and ten 205 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: yards and seven touchdowns, he gets a fat bonus. So 206 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 2: he is within striking distance of those numbers after the 207 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. So I think that's going to 208 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 2: continue to feed Tony Pollard the rock because we haven't 209 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 2: really seen a split with Tajy Spears in the last 210 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 2: couple of games. 211 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 4: So I find this one really interesting. 212 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: I actually I agree with your Tony Pollard's side more 213 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: than the Chiefs losing side, And I would be more 214 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: on board with the idea of the Chiefs losing if 215 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: it was any team other than the Titans that is, 216 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: like I just can't quite get the. 217 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 4: Raiders. 218 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that'd be the one team that I'd be 219 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: more confident about the Chiefs winning. But like I do 220 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: like the Pollard call, especially because we've talked about this 221 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: a lot on this show. Like run defense is often 222 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: effort driven, it would not surprise anybody to see the 223 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: effort be deflated here. On the one hand, part of 224 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: me says, the Chiefs have been so good for so 225 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: long that they almost don't know any other way other 226 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: than to take a game seriously. But the other part 227 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: of me is, like, I think it will be maybe 228 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: even a bit of a relief to kind of finally 229 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: not have. 230 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 4: To take a game seriously. 231 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: Like they've played so much extra football just from the 232 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: in January alone, over the last several years, they basically 233 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: played an extra like season over anybody else in the 234 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: Mahomes era. And I think a lot of these guys 235 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: are probably tired. I'm not saying this is like why 236 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: they didn't make the playoffs or anything like. It's not 237 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: even a referendum on how they are as the quality 238 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: of a team. But I just think it's like it 239 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: is probably a mental and physical burden to always be 240 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: striving for this historic greatness, to always be playing extra 241 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: football late into the year, and I think it might 242 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: be like very easy for them to flip that switch 243 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: and take the foot off the gas a little bit here. 244 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: Having said that, my number five prediction is that the 245 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs offense is actually okay without Patrick Mahomes, at least. 246 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 4: For this week. 247 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: And part of that is because I do think we 248 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: are likely at one of these next three games we're 249 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: getting a really fun Gardner Minshew game. I'm telling you 250 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: right now we might not be the best at predicting 251 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: when it happens. We are getting a great Gardner Minshew game, 252 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: or at least a very fun Gardner Minshew game in 253 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: one of these next three games. And I think there's 254 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: a chance it could happen this week because everybody is 255 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: burying the Chiefs. Everybody is just like throwing dirt on 256 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: the grave, you know. There we had some fun like 257 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: kind of it was kind of weird celebrating that they 258 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: were out of the playoffs because it was coupled with 259 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: this really unfortunate injury that nobody's happy to see. But 260 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: injury aside, it is very refreshing that the Chiefs are 261 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: not going to be in the playoffs. It was very 262 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: much like a ding Dong the Witch's Dead type of 263 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: feeling on Twitter when that was official. And I think 264 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: that it is going to be like a surprise bounce 265 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: back from the Chiefs offense where it's like no, no, no, 266 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: like we are still okay, we are still the Kansas 267 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: City Chiefs. We have a sense of pride. And again, 268 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: this is a really bad Titans team. I know Simmons 269 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: has been playing really well as of late, but by 270 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: and large, this is not a good team. Gardner mean, 271 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: she's a pretty good backup. So I think the offense 272 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: is going to actually be okay without my homes. I 273 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: don't think it's going to fall apart for this week 274 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: at least, and I'm going with Travis kelce anytime touchdown. 275 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: I think it's extraordinarily likely. These are the last three 276 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: games of Travis Kelcey's career, so I wouldn't be surprised 277 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: if the Chiefs are like, hey, we're not playing for anything, 278 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: let's just pepper our guy and get him, you know, 279 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: whatever final stats, we can put the cap run his 280 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career knowing that this is how it 281 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: ends and we're not playing for anything. 282 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 4: So Kelsey anytime touchdown is my prop here. 283 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 2: I agree with you that I don't think that the 284 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: offense really falls off. I shouldn't say really falls off. Again, 285 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: you're losing Patch Mahomes. There is a downgrade that you 286 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: have to account for, especially based on the environmental factors 287 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 2: he was playing with. Behind the offensive line's been a 288 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: mess all season. But the thing is when you see 289 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: these backup quarterbacks come into play, are they into hand 290 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: the ball off to the running back or they're just 291 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: gonna throw the ball fifty times? Because we've seen that 292 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: with Jacoby Brissett, where the guy just throws so much 293 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: that it doesn't matter who they're paying. He's matchup proof 294 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 2: because when you drop back fifty times, you're going to 295 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: accumulate fantasy points. And that's the thing with the Chiefs offensively, 296 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: with Andy Reid, they've one of the highest, if not 297 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 2: the highest pass rate over expectation and I would not 298 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: expect that to change, Like, what's the point of, oh yeah, 299 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: we got a feed Kareem Hunt like that? 300 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 3: That makes no sense to me. At least get Garter Minshew. 301 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: I mean he likes to I mean he's a fun quarterback, 302 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 2: like you said, So go back there sling it. Get 303 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 2: Rushie Rice involved, get Travis Kelly involved. So I agree 304 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 2: with you. I think that I would probabctually lean towards 305 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: the over in this game. It's really really low thirty 306 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 2: seven a half points because obviously it's the tight ends 307 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: like a quarterback. But I could see pass where Again, 308 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: I like Pollard to kind of have a productive game here. 309 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: If the Chiefs defense lays down in any capacity, just 310 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 2: like if the things open up to like a big lead, 311 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 2: like go up to nothing with a turnover or something 312 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: like that, you could see that kind of deflating for 313 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 2: the Chiefs. It's like, oh, man, like, are we really 314 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: want to are we going to rally back now without 315 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 2: our leader? 316 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: And why? Like what's the point. We're not going to 317 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 3: make the playoffs anyway. 318 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 2: So I would agree with you that I think that 319 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 2: maybe we do get a little bit more points here 320 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 2: than the total suppressed total would suggest. 321 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: I think the over is a great call, And like 322 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, on the chief side of things, 323 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: like I'm not going to be sitting Travis Kelcey or 324 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: was she Rice just because they're going from Mahomes to 325 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, and I probably wasn't starting anybody else anyway, 326 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: Like Hunt is the one that you know, you would, 327 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: you know, maybe go a little. 328 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 4: Bit back and forth on. 329 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: But like in terms of the passing game itself, like 330 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: I'm still starting Kelsey and Rice and I'm not starting 331 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: Worthy or Hollywood or anybody else. So like, to me, 332 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: the passing game side of things from the fantasy perspective 333 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: doesn't change that much Hunts. 334 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 4: He's ranked RB thirty six in ECR for this week. 335 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: Like it's kind of just like if you have a 336 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: you know, if you're weak at running back in a 337 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: deep league, start him and I'm okay with it. 338 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 4: If not, try and get away from him. 339 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: I think that's just like he's kind of on that 340 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: borderline area anyway. 341 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 4: At least That's how I see it. 342 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: But I agree, I like the over in this game too, 343 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: And I lost the Homes in a league, I'm still 344 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: alive and in a super Flex league, and I'm like, 345 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: there's not really any quarterbacks available. I'll probably just like 346 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: spend the rest of my fab on Gardner Minshew and 347 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: see what he does for me. Like, like, I think 348 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: that's better than oh, you can just start another running 349 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: back in that spot. Like I'd rather start Gardner Minshew 350 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: in the super Flex than you know, the thirtieth ranked 351 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: running back or whoever. 352 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 2: It is. 353 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: Agreed, We've got a special offer for everyone.

Because somebody has 364 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: to win it and it's it's too bad the Saints 365 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 2: lost too many games to start the year because they 366 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 2: could have been live here to kind of make a 367 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: run late in the year, but they just they tease 368 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 2: the Spencer Routlet thing for too long. It took on 369 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: too many losses. So it's still kind of a two 370 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: man race between the Buccaneers and the Panthers. But they're 371 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: playing each other twice over the next three weeks, and 372 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: I think we're gonna see scoring in this game. That's 373 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: kind of been the classic game strip for these Buccaneers games. 374 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 2: That's why I think Tetro McMillan is going to balance 375 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: back here. He's been down the last three weeks. He's 376 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: actually been under his receiving yards prop in three straight games. 377 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 2: But I think it's gonna be a top twenty guy 378 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: this week. In Week sixteen against the Buccaneers. Now, last 379 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 2: week again disappointing. He was actually his season low in 380 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 2: yardage for the entire season, but there were a couple 381 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 2: opportunities for him to make more plays. He had a 382 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: twelve yard catch that was overturned. It was ruled incomplete 383 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 2: after it was ruled a catch on the field. He'llly 384 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: finished with two catches for twenty five yards on four targets, 385 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 2: but no other Panthers wide receiver saw more than four targets, 386 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: so he still kind of was that target leader. It's 387 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: not like Jalen Coker was necessarily running circles around him. Again, 388 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 2: had more yards, but still only drew four targets, and 389 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 2: him and Young kind of missed on a potential touchdown, 390 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: Like it was a throw where maybe it wasn't the 391 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 2: perfect throw and maybe team that could have done a 392 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: better job of kind of like squeezing it, but he 393 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 2: had an opportunity to score in that game, we wouldn't 394 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: be nearly as disappointed. So I still think the usage 395 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 2: has been overall pretty strong, even though it's been kind 396 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 2: of down in the last couple of weeks. But part 397 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: of that is because the Carolina Panthers have had a 398 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: negative fourteen percent passway over expectation, so they've just been like, Okay, 399 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: we're gonna run the ball a million times against these 400 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: all these matchups, and that's just not how you beat 401 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 2: the Bucks. 402 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 3: The Bucks do everything in their. 403 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 2: Power to no, we're gonna stop the run, and you 404 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 2: have to throw it on us like Todd Bowles invites 405 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: a ton of passing volume. You look at last season 406 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 2: when Bryce Young played the Buccaneers, he had a game 407 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 2: with forty six pass teps, twenty eight pass atteps the 408 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 2: pass right over expectation in those games with Dave Canalis 409 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 2: calling the plays plus six percent and plus fifteen percent. 410 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 2: So I just think that we're going to see more 411 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 2: passing volume in general from the Panthers offense against Tampa Bay, 412 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 2: and I think that means good things for Tetro McMillan. 413 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 2: So he was wide receiver one I think a month 414 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 2: ago against the Atlanta Falcons and a high scoring affair. 415 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: I don't want to bench that upside. So I know 416 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 2: that he's been disappointing, but I think that you should 417 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 2: still be starting him as a wide receiver two this 418 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 2: week because if this game gets kind of crazy and 419 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: goes back and forth, you could see a really ceiling 420 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 2: spike performance from Teammac like we saw a couple weeks ago. 421 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was Week eleven, that wide receiver one finish 422 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: against Falcons. The other games in the last six games though, 423 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: or wide receiver forty nine thirty three twenty seven to 424 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: twenty three seventy three. Even going back further, it's wide 425 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: receiver fourteen fifty seven twelve twenty eight thirty six forty five. 426 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: I mean that's obviously getting to the beginning of the 427 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: season again going back that far, but the real upside 428 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: has only kind of shown itself once. 429 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 4: In that Falcons game. I don't disagree with the call. 430 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: I find it interesting that he's ranked wide receiver sixteen 431 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: in ECR. It's kind of similar to me what we've 432 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: been looking at the last few weeks with a Mechabuka 433 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: and Justin Jefferson, where the production has not been there 434 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: for multiple weeks in a row, and yet they were 435 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: still getting comfortably ranked inside that top fifteen to twenty. 436 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 4: They are now not. 437 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: You know, rankers have finally moved those two down, but 438 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: it took a while to react to that. Is Timac 439 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 1: kind of in that he hasn't been as bad as 440 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: those guys, right, Like, he's been playable some of those numbers. 441 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: I said, we're still in the twenties, but he hasn't 442 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: been in the teams really outside of that one game 443 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: across the last you know, six or seven weeks, and 444 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: yet he's wide receiver sixteen in ECR. Does that feel 445 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: appropriate to you as a ranking or do you think 446 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of similar to Ibuka and Jefferson where eventually 447 00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: maybe that will come down. 448 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: I think that if he wasn't playing the Buccaneers, he 449 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 2: would have already came down, right, Like that's why we 450 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: were holding onto Jefferson last week, where it's like, yes, 451 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 2: it's been so bad, but he's there facing Dallas, right, 452 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 2: he has. 453 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 3: The number one matchup. 454 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 4: You how did that work out? 455 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 3: Just ask Jalen Naylor. He was great. Again. 456 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 2: We'll get into Jefferson a little bit later because I 457 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 2: know you have a prediction on him, But I think 458 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 2: that's really telling about the ranking is he's facing the Buccaneers. 459 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 3: You could see a path where That's kind of how 460 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 3: I'm trying to sell it. 461 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 2: I'm not selling here saying oh, well, he's been over 462 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: his receiving arts prop again it's listed here at fifty 463 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 2: nine and a half yards. 464 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 3: I mean, he's been underose in three straight games. 465 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: Like there's nothing that he's put on the field the 466 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 2: last couple of weeks that says, oh, this is gonna 467 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 2: happen for him. But I'm just adding the context of 468 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 2: the Panthers have been extremely run heavy over the last 469 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 2: three games, and the last time they weren't, which was 470 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: against the Falcons, that's when we saw Tetro McMillan go 471 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 2: as a wide receiver one on the weekend. I remember 472 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 2: looking at that matchum and thinking, man te Meck doesn't 473 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 2: have a ceiling, like he had a bench. This guy 474 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: this week he doesn't have a ceiling and the last 475 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 2: time I did again and then he had a monster game. 476 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 2: So you're shooting for ceiling in the playoff weeks, you 477 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: have to find ways for Okay, can this guy break 478 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 2: the slate? Can he be a thirty point type of player? 479 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: And at least Team Beck has shown one time this year, Hey, 480 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 2: I can do that and be that guy. So if 481 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 2: this game forces into past heavy game script for Bryce Young, 482 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 2: team Max the guy in this offense, he's their best 483 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 2: wide receiver, so I would be leaning into that, which 484 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: is why I agree with the ranking here as a 485 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 2: top twenty guy, I don't know where I'll settle on him, 486 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 2: but I assume it'll probably be around ECR Wide Receiver sixteen. 487 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: Speaking of breaking the slate, my prediction here is about 488 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: tight ends Cardinals Falcons. I'm going to say that it 489 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: gives us two top five tight ends. If this was 490 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: a bold prediction segment, I would say it gives us 491 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: tight end one and tight End two for the second 492 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: straight week coming from these two. 493 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 4: Teams, Kyle Pitts and Trey McBride. 494 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: This is not a bold prediction, so I'll give myself 495 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of leeway here, but I am saying 496 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: both of these guys get inside the top five again. Obviously, 497 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: like Kyle Pitts was, like I would say, the story 498 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: of the week, but then we have like Trevor Lauritznia 499 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: and like a lot of players kind of big the 500 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 1: story of the week, but he certainly was the early 501 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: story of the week. Pitts, you know, having just a 502 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: career best game. He had one hundred yards and two 503 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: touchdowns in the first half. He ended up with one 504 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six I think it was, and three 505 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: touchdowns over the course of the game, eleven catches on 506 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: twelve targets, forty point one Fantasy points in half PPR scoring. 507 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: Just like an awesome game. And by the way, his 508 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: third straight good game. He didn't have touchdowns in the 509 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: previous two, but he had seven catches for eighty two 510 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: yards in week thirteen he had six catches for ninety yards, 511 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: and week fourteen, and then he had this explosion here 512 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: in week fifteen. So it's three straight weeks inside the 513 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: top seven at the position it's been a long time coming, right, 514 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: hoping for this Kyle Pitts breakout. We're throwing he's still 515 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: twenty five years old, Like at this age Travis Kelcey 516 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: had barely even broken out yet, or maybe he haven't 517 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: hadn't done it yet because he was pretty older when 518 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,239 Speaker 1: he did. I didn't actually go back and look that up, 519 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: but as I recall, he was in the second half 520 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: of his twenties when he really broke out. Like, I'm 521 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: not saying Kyle Pitts is gonna come Travis Kelcey, but 522 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: it at this position, it would be totally not unheard 523 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,479 Speaker 1: of for a guy to legitimately take a step forward 524 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: at this stage in his career. So he's you know, 525 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: obviously ranked aggressor this week, and Trey McBride has just 526 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: been like, maybe this is like the best pick you 527 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: could have made in terms of relative to position. Like 528 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: the advantage he's giving you over other tight ends this 529 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: year since Jacoby Brissett took over is obscene, and he 530 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 1: just of course continued it this week. I mean, look, 531 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: since the bye week, I'll go back even further. Since 532 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: week six, he has got tight end two, three, six, one, one, three, two, 533 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: thirteen and two, so the thirteen is the one outlier. 534 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: Besides that, his worst finish is tight end six. So 535 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: he's just been absolutely you know, insane rightfully ranked as 536 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: tight end one this week. So McBride and Bowers, I'm saying, 537 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: are both inside the top five again, I know the 538 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: nature of the position. 539 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 4: Is that not bad? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 540 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: Yes, I was there back to back in ECR and 541 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: I was reading Bowers his name as I said that 542 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: McBride and pitt Thank you for correcting me. McBride and 543 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: Pitts are gonna be top five again here Bowers. I 544 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: will him later to another tease for the shows. But yeah, yeah, 545 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: what do you I mean? Obviously McBride is not much 546 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: of a prediction. I'm you know, I'm just including him 547 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: to make it more, you know, more of a prediction 548 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: that they both have to get there, and since they're 549 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: facing each other in this game, But what do you 550 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: think about Pitts coming into this one off of his 551 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: insane Week fifteen? 552 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I will start with McBride. I'm gonna make 553 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 2: a bull prediction because we're not gonna be on the 554 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 2: show for next week, Week seventeen, Train McBride has a 555 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 2: better game than Kyle Pits did last week because he's 556 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 2: facing the Bengals. So okay, I talked about Train McBride 557 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 2: at nauseum in my Beyond the Waiver Wire column early 558 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 2: on in the year, Whereas when I was looking at 559 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 2: the schedule, Mike, he plays the Bengals in week seventeen, 560 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 2: you might not win your fantasy matchup in the Championship 561 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: if you don't have on your team like that. He 562 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 2: might just be the the skeleton key where he puts 563 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 2: up fifty points and it doesn't matter who else you 564 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 2: have on your team, you just win because you have 565 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 2: Train McBride against the Bengals. So that'll be my bold 566 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: prediction is that Kyle Pits as this record breaking tight 567 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 2: end performance that lasts for two weeks and then Trey 568 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 2: McBride breaks it two weeks later gets the Megals. So classic, 569 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 2: I want to pose a question to you, So I'm 570 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 2: gonna lay out some facts and I want to get 571 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 2: your response to it, because. 572 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: Can I just can I as quickly before we move 573 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: off of McBride, ericson point out that I believe on 574 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: this show about this time last year, you predicted three 575 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: touchdowns from Trey McBride against the Panthers, and then. 576 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 4: He got He had like a terrible game. 577 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: So I just want to point out that your your 578 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: track record with Trey McBride historic performances hasn't quite been 579 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: there yet. 580 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 4: I'm just throwing it out there. 581 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 3: I won't be able to live with myself if he 582 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 3: gets hurt in that game. Oh my god, just be 583 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 3: absolutely terrible. So back to Kyle Pitts. 584 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 2: There's a chance Drake London comes back this week, so 585 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 2: I think that it's really easy for us to just 586 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 2: completely forget about that and and not really pay attention to. Okay, well, 587 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 2: Drake Len's coming out like no, but Pitts has been 588 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 2: so good, like if it's so consistent, he's been the 589 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 2: guy with Kirk Cousins. But if you look at the 590 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 2: numbers and the facts, like this matters potentially a lot. 591 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: So we haven't seen the Pitts splits with London and 592 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins this season. They just haven't aligned up. Whenever 593 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins has started, Drake Lunn has been out of 594 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 2: the lineup. But with London healthy, with Michael Pennox at 595 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 2: the quarterback position. Pitts was averaging six point six Fantasy 596 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: points per game and half PPR, So again, just mediocre 597 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 2: tight end numbers last year with Kirk Cousins and Drake 598 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 2: London both in the lineup. Again, this is a pretty 599 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: big sample size, like the whole season seven points per game, 600 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 2: Like this is nowhere near the production end. To your point, 601 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: the last three games or Kyle Pitts have been really good. 602 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 2: Who hasn't played the last three weeks wide receiver Drake London? 603 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 2: And I think that what Raheem Morris And this is 604 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 2: from the Coach Speak Index discords a shout out to 605 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 2: the Coach Speak Index. This was something that Raheem Morris 606 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 2: talked about about Kyle Pitts's performance on Thursday night. He 607 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 2: got the targets at Drake London would have gone, and 608 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 2: he got the targets he would normally get, so like 609 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 2: he was accounting for Okay, like we basically just double 610 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 2: this production because our number one wide receiver wasn't playing 611 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 2: in the game, so we need to I think, and 612 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: again this is really hard for me because I'm not 613 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 2: sure this is really actionable. Right, You get a bench 614 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 2: Kyle Pitts, Like, no, I don't really see a scenario 615 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 2: where you would have the luxury of doing it. But 616 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,959 Speaker 2: I do feel like we could get the rug kind 617 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 2: of pulled out underneath us, like we did with Michael 618 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 2: Wilson a couple of weeks ago, when Marvin Harrison Junior 619 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 2: came back. He came back for one game, Michael Wolson 620 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 2: just went disappeared, and then Marvin Harrison missed the next 621 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 2: week and Michael Wolson went back to seeing like twenty 622 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 2: targets in the game. So that's just something that I 623 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 2: wanted to bring up again. I'm not so sure how 624 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: actionable it is because it's still a good matchup. They're 625 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 2: facing Arizona Cardinals again. Like, I don't think he's gonna 626 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 2: see as many targets as Ray Lund if London plays, 627 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 2: but I could it's very possible that we do see 628 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: a much suppressed performance from Pits. And this is actually 629 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 2: even funny too. You look at last year he faced 630 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: the Buccaneer. He had a really good game last year 631 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 2: at Tampa Bay. Four catches, ninety one yards, two touchdowns. 632 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 2: You know he did the next week or he had 633 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 2: one catch for eleven yards, he. 634 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 4: Does the face of Tampa Bay like so so so. 635 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: Again, I lay all that out, it's all factual. Does 636 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 2: it matter, I don't know. 637 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 3: I really don't. 638 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 2: Maybe they'll just make me rank him a little bit 639 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 2: lower than ECR, but to take him out of your lineup, 640 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if you have a better alternative. 641 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 4: I think it's a really good point. 642 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: I am operating as if London will not be back 643 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: in that and that if he is back, he will 644 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: not be at one hundred percent okay, And now if 645 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: he is back and he is back enough to be 646 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: like basically playing at his usual level, then yes, I 647 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: do think this becomes a lot trickier for me to 648 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: hit this prediction. I like part of me is like, 649 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: the Falcons are not in the playoffs, why would they 650 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: rush back like their superstar receiver. But I guess on 651 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: the other hand, that means if he is back, you 652 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: would assume that he really is ready to be back, 653 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: because there's no need to rush him. So I don't 654 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: know that will be an interesting thing to pay attention. 655 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: I'm not going to change your prediction, obviously, but I 656 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: think it's a really fair point to bring up the 657 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: other part of me though is and I know Michael 658 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: Wilson is a point against this because it literally just 659 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: worked against what I'm about to say. But part of 660 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: me is like, isn't the toothpastekind of. 661 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 4: Out of the bottle here? 662 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: Like, how are you gonna not give Kyle Pitts ten 663 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: targets you gotta get because you. 664 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 3: Gotta get Drake London twelve targets? 665 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: That's I don't don't throw it any like, literally, if 666 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins throws thirty six passes, thirty four of them 667 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: should go to either Drake London, Bijon Robinson or Kyle Pits, 668 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: Like there's just nobody else should touch the ball in 669 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: the game. 670 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 4: All Right, it's very a bottlem. Let's go to a 671 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 4: prediction number three here? What do you got? 672 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't mean to terrain on your Kyle Pits parade. 673 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, that's show. 674 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 3: It's gouldn't be the first time that he let us down. 675 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: Oh my, I mean, is there is there any player 676 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: that's more you know, Charlie Brown trying to kick the 677 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: football than Kyle Pitts. I mean this, You're not being 678 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: lucy here, You're just like explaining to me what Lucy does, Like, 679 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: I get that the rug could be pulled out for 680 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: under this. 681 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 2: Thing, Yeah, exactly, So my prediction three here there will 682 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 2: be no rug pulling here. This is a stone cold lock. 683 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 2: Omaron Hampton RB one, Sison, Mikenon Walker rby one, Sison 684 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 2: first into flames last week in all the worst ways, 685 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 2: But I feel much better about this one for Omary 686 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 2: and Hampton facing the Dallas Cowboys. Hampton was in his 687 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 2: second game back from injury reserve last week. Still it 688 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 2: was Videll that was kind of dominating the snap sixty 689 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 2: four percent to Hampton's thirty six percent, But Hampton's still 690 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 2: seeing a lot of volume despite playing on a limited 691 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 2: snap share led the way with fifteen carries for sixty 692 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 2: one yards. He had a long twenty six yard first. 693 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 2: He's had a couple tough matchups since coming back from 694 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 2: injured reserve. And also the thing that I kind of 695 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 2: wanted to point out about his usage was he's playing 696 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 2: more than third downs in the second week back, and 697 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 2: he was also seeing more of the red zone touches 698 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 2: for the second straight game. So we're starting to see 699 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 2: Hampton eat into Widell's high value touches. In the Chargers backfield. 700 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 2: It's his third game back. I'm expecting to see even 701 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 2: more volume against the Dallas Cowboys, who yes much improved 702 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 2: run defense since they got Quinn Williams. Quinn Williams had 703 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: a head injury in the last game against the Minnesota Vikings. 704 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 2: There's a chance that he might not play in this game. 705 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 2: And I think that if they take him out of 706 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 2: that interior. You see the Dallas Cowboys defense from the 707 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 2: beginning of the season that was getting destroyed by opposing 708 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 2: running backs. So I think that Hampton, you're thinking about 709 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 2: him in your line like man like. He really hasn't 710 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 2: popped since coming back. He's still splitting touches with Widell. 711 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 2: So I could see people kind of being down on Hampton, 712 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 2: but I really think this is a really good spot 713 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 2: for him. Still fifteen plus touches and back to back games, 714 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 2: and in the last two games, the Chargers with these 715 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 2: two running backs have leaned more on their run game 716 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 2: because of all the injuries on the offensive line that 717 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 2: can't pass protect Justin Herbert, and just Herbert's playing with 718 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 2: a broken hand, So how. 719 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 3: Do you protect your quarterback? Keep him upright? 720 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: Again? 721 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 2: The Chargers want to make a playoff run here like 722 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 2: they are in contention, but they can't do it if 723 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 2: Herbert gets it hurt. The Chargers have a negative nine 724 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 2: pass rate over expectation the last two weeks weeks one 725 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 2: through thirteen, it was plus four percent, So they are 726 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 2: trying to run the ball in neutral game scripts and 727 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 2: that has to do a lot with Omar and Hampton 728 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 2: coming back to the lineup. So his rushing prop this 729 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 2: week forty seven and a half yards, I thought was 730 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 2: preposterously low. He's been over this in five of seven 731 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 2: games this season, including the last two weeks since he 732 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 2: came back from injured reserves. So this is one that 733 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 2: I like the most that we've talked about so far. 734 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 4: I really like it too. 735 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: I when you first put this into the sheets, I 736 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, that's not like that much going out 737 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: on a limb here. And then I went to ECR 738 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,959 Speaker 1: and he's RB twenty three, and I found that to 739 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: be really surprisingly low. I don't know that I would 740 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: call it preposterously low because there are, you know, a 741 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: lot of good running backs. You know, obviously there's no 742 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: buys anymore. You know, there's there's good running backs available. 743 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: So I'm not saying he should be ranked inside the 744 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: top twelve, but I was expecting him to be ranked 745 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: in in you know, like the team. Like I thought 746 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: he was gonna be inside the top twenty. You know, 747 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: for example, he's one spot behind Aaron Jones. I would 748 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: so much rather start on Maryon Hampton than Aaron Jones 749 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: this week. Jones, I know, is getting the giants, but 750 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: like I, I just think I think Hampton is primed 751 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: to have a very good week. And You're right, Quentin 752 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: Williams getting banged up is a huge difference maker for 753 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: the Dallas defense, and I really agree. 754 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 4: Like I would love to. 755 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: Argue this one with you and ran on your parade, 756 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: but I can't because I think it's a good call. 757 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: And I was surprised that he was ranked as Low's 758 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: e as I think it's this is one I totally 759 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: agree with. 760 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't really have anything else saying him, so 761 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 4: I'll go to my number three predictions. 762 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 3: Here speachless, I did my job, Let's go. 763 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say speech less as much as like you said, 764 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: everything I had this I would have had to say 765 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: justin Jefferson, I am predicting here that this is the 766 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson game. We finally get him back. I'm calling 767 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: it top fifteen ish. I think we'll know it when 768 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: we see it, right, Like, Justin Jefferson is back, you 769 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: know in the fold here as a as a great 770 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: fantasy option, a very startable guy, which he clearly. 771 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 4: Has not been. For weeks on end, he's ranked inside 772 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 4: the top twenty four. 773 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: Still he's wide receiver twenty three, but that obviously does 774 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: not align with the last I mean the last three 775 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: weeks alone wide receiver ninety five, eighty one, and seventy seven. 776 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: His best game of the last three he had two 777 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: catches for twenty two yards that like, and he did 778 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: get eight targets this last week. It felt like JJ 779 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: McCarthy was really trying to force it to him at 780 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: times and they just weren't connecting. JJ made some really 781 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: accurate throws in that game, and none of them were 782 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: to Justin Jefferson. And then the one that was, he 783 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: zipped it in there and it bounced off Jefferson's hands. 784 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 4: I mean it was just really they. 785 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 2: Had another touch and that was called back because of penalty, 786 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 2: so like it couldn't catch any breaks. 787 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: It was just crazy how much was sacked against them. 788 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: I think they're going to go into this week. I 789 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: mean they like they talked about it on that Sunday 790 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: night broadcast. Chris collins Orth was saying that, you know, 791 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell talked about, like one of our goals here 792 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: is to get Justin Jefferson one thousand yards, like like 793 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: like now that our season is over from the playoffs, 794 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: like the first goal, the first several goals is figure 795 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: out what you have with JJ McCarthy. But right after 796 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: that is Justin Jefferson is the best you know, in 797 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,720 Speaker 1: their opinion, the best player in football. 798 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 4: Basically get him his thousand yards. 799 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: Don't let this weird quarterback season kind of end to 800 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: that streak of his. And and I just think that, 801 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 1: like this is going to be a priority for them. 802 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a priority for JJ 803 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: just not even thinking about Justin Jefferson's stats, but just 804 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: in thinking about, like, hey, I'm the quarterback. I need 805 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 1: to get the ball to the best player. Like they're 806 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: going to work on it. And if a couple of 807 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: those things go right. On Sunday, this was a two 808 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: touchdown game. And I'm not saying that we're definitely going 809 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 1: to get multiple touchdowns, you know, against the Giants this week. 810 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: But if McCarthy continues to look a little bit better 811 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: and he finally gets closer to being on the same page, 812 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: Like they're not even reading the same book right now, 813 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: but if they can get on the same page, then like, 814 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: I don't see any reason why we couldn't get a 815 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and ten yards, one or two touchdown type 816 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: of game from Jefferson. So the prop here obviously is 817 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: just jeff Jefferson anytime touchdown. I think they finally get 818 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: it done in the red zone this week. 819 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 2: Look, eventually, he's gonna have to have one of these 820 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 2: big games if he's continuing to see all the high 821 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 2: value targets that he's seeing in this offense, like that 822 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 2: has never been the issue. It's he's not seeing enough volumes. 823 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 2: He's seeing all the volume you could ask for, and 824 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 2: he's seeing air yards, he's seeing red zone targets like 825 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 2: he pointed out they were. It was comical how unlucky 826 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 2: Jefferson was in the end zone against Dallas Cowboys where 827 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 2: he just couldn't score. And it's weird how these things 828 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 2: work where and it usually happens this way where once 829 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 2: everyone gets knocked out of the playoffs that had Jefferson 830 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 2: on their team last week, this is the week that 831 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 2: he goes. 832 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 3: Off when you're playing in your consolation bracket. 833 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 2: So take advantage, take the overs on Jefferson in the 834 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,280 Speaker 2: betting market, like win your entry feedback after Jefferson burned 835 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 2: you and crushed you in your season long leagues, I'm 836 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,959 Speaker 2: with you here, Jefferson. Anytime touchdown Jefferson over one hundred 837 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,760 Speaker 2: receiving yards, which are probably we completely nuked. It's probably 838 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 2: like forty nine and a half receiving arch, just something ridiculous. 839 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 2: And against the New York Giants, we know that they 840 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 2: can get easily torched, especially down the field. So McCarthy 841 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 2: building confidence just as a quarterback in general. After two 842 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 2: good games, yeah, I think we will probably see Jefferson 843 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 2: bounce back, even though nobody really, nobody really wants it 844 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 2: to happen because it's been so bad and he hasn't 845 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 2: helped you win your fantasy league. But again, if you're 846 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 2: still kicking around, I don't think you look at Jefferson 847 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 2: this week and think, oh, I have to bench this 848 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 2: guy because there's just another really good matchup. 849 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: I do have him in one league that I'm still 850 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: alive in and like I will be starting him for sure, 851 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: like like I'm not, I'm not going to get this 852 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,479 Speaker 1: far and then sit him the week where he goes 853 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: off Like I just I simply refuse, where are you 854 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: ranking him for this week? By the way, why receiver 855 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: twenty three in ECR. I know it's early rankings. These 856 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: could change, but as of right now, where do you 857 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:48,319 Speaker 1: think you're gonna have him? 858 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 3: They could probably be in that range. 859 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 2: Maybe I could move him up inside the twenty, maybe 860 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 2: top twenty. We'll see how things kind of shake out 861 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,720 Speaker 2: with some of the other players. But again to your point, 862 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 2: still very much in artible range as a wide receiver too, 863 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 2: so probably in that range I'll have him. 864 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: If you want a chance to win a signed b 865 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,760 Speaker 1: Jon Robinson and Drake London mini helmet for free courtesy 866 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: of our friends at Pristineauction dot com, all you need 867 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 1: to do is head to fantasypros dot com slash contest, 868 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 1: complete the form, and either download the Fantasy Pros app, 869 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 1: leave a review for the podcast, or follow us on 870 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,760 Speaker 1: ex Instagram or TikTok at Fantasy pros.

All right, ericson a 876 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: couple predictions. 877 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 4: Left for each of us. What do you have? 878 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 1: Actually, let me go first for number two because I 879 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: want to I want to go a little longer on 880 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: your number two, So I'll go first here for prediction 881 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,320 Speaker 1: number two, Quinn Shawn Judkins breaks out of his slump 882 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: and finishes top twelve against Buffalo. The prop here is 883 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 1: a Judkins anytime touchdown. This is kind of going back 884 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 1: to the well that I did with Trayvon Henderson. You know, 885 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: his former college teammate, just faces Buffalo Bill's rush defense 886 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: last week. He was my number one prediction for the week. 887 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: He was the only one I got right, and I 888 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: got him very very right. Judkins is not the same 889 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: type of player that Henderson is in my opinion. Obviously 890 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: stylistically they're very different as well. 891 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,919 Speaker 4: But I think Judkins has a good game. He has 892 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 4: not been running well. 893 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how close you've been looking at his 894 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: efficiency Ericson his first four weeks, his first four games 895 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: that he actually played, he had a four point eight 896 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,240 Speaker 1: yards per carry or higher in three. 897 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 4: Of those games. 898 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: Since then, he has hit four once it was exactly four. 899 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 1: In every other week he has been three and a 900 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: half yards per carry or lower. The last two weeks 901 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: he's been under two yards per carry. Obviously, the offense 902 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: has not been very good with chuduor Sanders for the 903 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: most part. Tennessee obviously was his big game, but some 904 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: of these other games have been a struggle, and it 905 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: really kind of came to a head last week. Twelve carries, 906 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: twenty one yards, no touchdown. He had three receptions for 907 00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: negative four yards in that game, fifty three on the week. 908 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: So he hasn't been totally awful. Like two of the 909 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,360 Speaker 1: last four weeks he was inside the top twenty. You know, 910 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: there have been moments of okay here, but it's been 911 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: a bit of maybe a mini slump is the way 912 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: I should phrase it, especially coming off of this really 913 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: down game. And I think he bounces back and gets 914 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 1: into the top twelve for just a second time since 915 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 1: Week seven, partially because of this this run defense, partially 916 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: because I do think she do or has it in 917 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: him to have a better game. Also, she really loves 918 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: throwing to Harold Fannin. The Bills are really good at 919 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 1: tight ends. They have been for years. So if Fannon 920 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: becomes less of an option, I wouldn't be surprised if 921 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: maybe there's like a couple more checkdown options for Judkins 922 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: in this one. Just get him a couple extra carries, 923 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: help out in PPR scoring. So yeah, Judkins breaks out 924 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: of his slump. Here is my prediction. 925 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 4: What do you think? 926 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 2: I really like that angle about the tight end with 927 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills and how they kind of erase the 928 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 2: tight ended position. That's something that I always sometimes forget 929 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 2: to do, where it's like I lower up a certain 930 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 2: player in a bad matchup, but then I forget to 931 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 2: boost other players in that same game, because well, who 932 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 2: could be a benefit from this player facing a tough matchup? 933 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 3: Positionally, who could benefit from that? 934 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,760 Speaker 2: And although it's not like apple or apples to apples 935 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 2: with a running back versus a tight end, Okay, we're 936 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 2: gonna feed Judkins significantly more carries because we can't throw 937 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 2: the ball to Fan nearly as much. And I will 938 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 2: point out too with Judkins, I think a lot of 939 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 2: the really bad yards per Cary. His Browns offensive line 940 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 2: has been like battered with a ton of injuries, Like 941 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 2: they've lost significantly starters the last couple of weeks. I 942 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 2: know why Teller's been out the last couple weeks. They've 943 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 2: alsot one of the their starting center and got hurt 944 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 2: last week. So if they can get some guys back, 945 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 2: even if it's like just even why Teller honestly, like 946 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 2: we've seen him. I mean it was probably a couple 947 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 2: of years ago, but his splits for Nick Chubb when 948 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 2: he was in the lineup for the Browns, like it 949 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 2: was significantly better. So if maybe they can get a 950 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 2: little bit healthier on the offensive line, that would also 951 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 2: be a big boost for Judkins. But the volume is 952 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 2: not the issue, Like he is seeing as many opportunities 953 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 2: as you could hope for sixteen plus are we opportunities 954 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 2: ten of his last twelve games played, so he's gonna 955 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,720 Speaker 2: touch the brock at least fifteen times in a matchup 956 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 2: that is great for running backs. I think you can 957 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 2: definitely bounce back after last week. So I do like 958 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 2: this one as well. 959 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: All right, let's see if we can agree on our 960 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 1: next game. Here you called me out Ericson for being 961 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: a coward and not picking a prediction from Ravens Patriots 962 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,800 Speaker 1: with our two teams facing each other. The reason I didn't, 963 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 1: I will just say for everybody because yours is here, 964 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: so we are going to talk about the game. I 965 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,919 Speaker 1: had done a Ravens prediction both of the first two 966 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 1: weeks of the show in each of the last two weeks, 967 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 1: and I had done Trayvon Henderson last week, so I 968 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: felt like I had really kind of done a lot 969 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 1: with both the Ravens and the Patriots as of late, 970 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 1: and I wanted to mix it up with other teams. 971 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: It was not cowardice. It was trying to think of 972 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 1: what's best for the listeners of the show and to 973 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,279 Speaker 1: not be too repetitive. But you, of course stepped up 974 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: and said, no, it's Worm versus Ericson. We have to 975 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: talk about Ravens versus Patriots. 976 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,359 Speaker 4: On Sunday Night Football. What do you have for us? 977 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we're doing this watch party with the 978 00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 2: listeners right Sunday Night Football Live. Patriots. Raven Patriots are 979 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 2: gonna win this game, obviously, so that'll be my part 980 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 2: one of my prediction. But I actually like this angle 981 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 2: from the Ravens side with some of these offensive pieces, 982 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 2: So I actually think that the Ravens tight ends are 983 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 2: going to bounce back in a big way against New England. 984 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 2: Isaiah Likely is the guy that I'm kind of circling here. 985 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 2: I think he's going to finish as a top twelve 986 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 2: option in Week sixteen, because last week again everybody was 987 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 2: again at least I can speak for myself if someone 988 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 2: asked me Isaiah Likely or somebody Isaiah Likely like. 989 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 3: He was the guy that I was telling everybody to 990 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:30,919 Speaker 3: start last week. 991 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 2: So obviously, very very disappointing that basically didn't show up 992 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 2: at all in the box score against Cincinnati Bengals, a 993 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 2: matchup that he had smashed just a couple weeks prior, 994 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 2: that every Titan had smashed. And I understand you're frustrated, 995 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 2: you don't want to go back to Likely, But the 996 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 2: Ravens threw twelve times last week. 997 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 4: It was so much weird. 998 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,439 Speaker 2: Game is just so much game script that, I mean, 999 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 2: besides Jay Flowers ripping off a couple big plays in scoring, like, 1000 00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 2: there was really no chance for any of these receivers 1001 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 2: to do anything. So I think that I'm not going 1002 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,319 Speaker 2: to hold that against Isaiah Likely. He still has more 1003 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 2: catches than Mark Andrews in the last three games, nine 1004 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 2: to seven, and he's still been a top twelve tight 1005 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,359 Speaker 2: end in two of the last three games, despite not 1006 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 2: having two touchdowns that he should have had that didn't 1007 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 2: convert into the end zone. And the thing I want 1008 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 2: to point out about the Patriots, and this is something 1009 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 2: that I was concerned about with them, just kind of 1010 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 2: like from a real life perspective, Like one of their 1011 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 2: major flaws as a team is they're terrible in the 1012 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 2: red zone. They are the worst red zone defense in 1013 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 2: the NFL, thirty second in touchdown rate allowed. And what 1014 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 2: are they be giving up in the end zone passing 1015 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 2: touchdowns thirty first and passing touchdown rate allowed this season? 1016 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 2: Where do we know that Lamar Jackson likes to go 1017 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 2: in the end zone in the red zone? It's his 1018 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,320 Speaker 2: tight ends, it's Mark Andrews, is Ixaiah Likely so aversed 1019 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 2: My prop was Isaiah Likely anytime touchdown, But then I 1020 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 2: was like, I'm saying, Lamar Jackson throw for one and 1021 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 2: a half passing touchdowns. This is something that he had 1022 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 2: been basically hitting every single week prior to the season 1023 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 2: into his injury, and then he just went on this 1024 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 2: cold streak where come back from the injury not throwing 1025 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 2: a lot of touchdowns. But last week he threw two 1026 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 2: touchdowns on eight completions, So he can be a very 1027 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 2: hyper efficient quarterback. That's Lamar's bread and butter, and he 1028 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 2: actually did go over it last week, So I think 1029 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 2: that continues here. He's gonna throw for over one and 1030 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,799 Speaker 2: a half passing touchdowns. I think we see points in 1031 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 2: this game. 1032 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 3: Again. 1033 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 2: Obviously, I'm going to be rooting for my Patriots to 1034 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,399 Speaker 2: come out with the win, but I expect this game 1035 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 2: to be close, and I expect it to be friendly 1036 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,279 Speaker 2: for fantasy purposes on both sides in the passing game. 1037 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 2: So that is my prediction for Patriots Ravens. Let's say 1038 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 2: you were well. 1039 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: You said at the beginning of that that you're the 1040 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: first part of your prediction was the Patriots winning. Does 1041 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,720 Speaker 1: that mean if the Ravens win but likely's top twelve, 1042 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: that you are losing this prediction. 1043 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,919 Speaker 4: You are officially making the Patriots winning as a part 1044 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 4: of it. 1045 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 3: Yes, I'll do that for that battle I'd. 1046 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 4: Love to hear it. 1047 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:48,840 Speaker 1: We should have been our hard Rock best bet of 1048 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 1: the week, just like I think the Ravens will win 1049 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: and I think the Patriots will win. I've tried to 1050 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 1: pull up the total here because I hadn't looked it up. 1051 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:57,920 Speaker 4: Okay, it's at forty eight. 1052 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 1: I like the over on that. I think there will 1053 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: be points in this game. To your point, I think 1054 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,840 Speaker 1: Lamar has looked the most like Lamar the last two weeks, 1055 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: basically since like the Buffalo game. Like like, I thought 1056 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 1: that these were the and I know they didn't win. 1057 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: Against the Steelers, it was a very classic Steelers game 1058 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: where he looked okay, but then you know they were 1059 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 1: dumb turnovers and you know Steelers devil magic. 1060 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,719 Speaker 4: But but I. 1061 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,279 Speaker 1: Thought, I mean, it was a very efficient game because 1062 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 1: he didn't need to do much like his throat is 1063 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: a flowers for the touchdown against the Bengals, I thought 1064 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,359 Speaker 1: was the best throw he's made, you know, since September. 1065 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 1: It just looked the most like Lamar that I think 1066 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,880 Speaker 1: we've seen since the beginning of the season. Derrick Henry 1067 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 1: was very efficient. Now the Bengals defense is bad, but 1068 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 1: like I think, I think It's important to remember with 1069 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: this Patriots team that we went into the year saying 1070 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: like this is still a very flawed team, that if 1071 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 1: Drake May takes a leap, he can kind of drag 1072 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 1: some of these players up with him against a very 1073 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: easy schedule. And that's what's happened. He has dragged these 1074 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 1: players up with him because he has taken an MVP 1075 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 1: leap forward. But it's come largely against a very easy schedule, 1076 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,439 Speaker 1: and this defense, while statistically is not bad, has not 1077 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 1: faced a lot of quarterbacks the likes of a healthy 1078 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson this season. 1079 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 4: I think, like the. 1080 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 1: Fact that they beat the Bills back in Week four 1081 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 1: or five, I think has carried a lot of weight 1082 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 1: for us legitimizing the Patriots when the rest of their 1083 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: great season, and it has been a really good season. Obviously, 1084 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 1: I love Drake May, I'm not knocking him, but it's 1085 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: come against a really poor schedule. The Ravens defense is 1086 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,240 Speaker 1: played well, They're coming off of a shutout. Lamar Jackson 1087 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 1: is playing definitely better, maybe not as usual MVP self, 1088 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 1: but definitely better. This is in Baltimore in primetime. I 1089 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 1: know the Ravens weren't very good on Thanksgiving, but typically 1090 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 1: they are very good at home in primetime games. I 1091 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a high scoring game. Like 1092 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 1: Drake may is awesome, I think he can take advantage 1093 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,720 Speaker 1: of this defense. There's some injury stuff in the defense 1094 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,719 Speaker 1: to be a woozy might not play. The secondary is 1095 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,400 Speaker 1: getting kind of banged up. They did get our Darius 1096 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: Washington back to help Baltimore and the Ravens I think 1097 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,720 Speaker 1: can run on and throw on this Patriots defense. 1098 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,600 Speaker 4: I actually expect them to score a lot. 1099 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:13,919 Speaker 1: So I think this game is going to be played 1100 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,839 Speaker 1: in the fifties, and I think the Ravens will win. 1101 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: It's minus two and a half. Some places it's minus three. 1102 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 1: Hard rock bet is minus two and a half. I would, 1103 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 1: I think, lean towards the Ravens laying the points, unless 1104 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 1: if it got to over a field goal, I would 1105 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: take the Patriots easily. I think I would lay the 1106 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 1: points of the Ravens. I don't feel confidently about that. 1107 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 1: I do feel confident about the over. I think there 1108 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:36,800 Speaker 1: will be points in this game. 1109 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:38,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the best way I've bet it. 1110 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 2: Honestly, it's just fun and that way you don't get 1111 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 2: a bad beat to missfield goal at the end of 1112 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 2: the game, when it doesn't even come down to the quarterback, right, 1113 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:45,839 Speaker 2: because that's kind of how you feel what you bet 1114 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,799 Speaker 2: on these games. It's which quarterback is going to play 1115 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 2: better if both quarterbacks play good overhits Bang Bang. 1116 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 1: Speaking of hard rock bet, today's show is brought to 1117 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 1: you by our new presenting sponsor, hard Rock Bet. So 1118 00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:00,279 Speaker 1: it's time for our hard rock best Bets of the Week, 1119 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 1: presented by hard Rock bet Ericson what is your hard 1120 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:03,720 Speaker 1: rock best bet of the week? 1121 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 2: Audrick estimee Saints running back. That's what team he's on, 1122 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:08,760 Speaker 2: the New Orleans Saints. 1123 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,760 Speaker 3: It's gonna be a black start in Week sixteen. 1124 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,360 Speaker 2: I couldn't not put Audrick estime on the show sheet 1125 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 2: between your guys the estimates because there's a chance that 1126 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,600 Speaker 2: he is the RB one for the New Orleans Saints 1127 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 2: this week. So this obviously comes with a caveat at 1128 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 2: Devin Neil Alvin Kamara don't play in this game for 1129 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 2: the New Orleans Saints. Alvin Kamara is still banged up 1130 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 2: with this mcl injury. It's the lost season for the Saints. 1131 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,479 Speaker 2: I really don't think he's gonna come back Devin Neil 1132 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 2: got hurt last week, but the hamstring injury didn't play 1133 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,680 Speaker 2: in the entire second half. Still TVD we haven't gotten 1134 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,319 Speaker 2: really updates about him. I know that Kellen Moore talked 1135 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:42,959 Speaker 2: to the media and he didn't really say anything about 1136 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 2: Devin Neil, but he did talk about Audrick Estime and 1137 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 2: Evan Hull taking taking advantage of their opportunities in the 1138 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 2: Saints backfield. So it was kind of a fifty to 1139 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 2: fifty split after Devin Neil got hurt last week. My 1140 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 2: Estimate did out touch Evan Hull and also played a 1141 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,759 Speaker 2: higher percentage of the snaps thirty six percent to thirty 1142 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 2: two percent. But the biggest thing with Estimate is that 1143 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 2: on that final drive and even late into the game, 1144 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 2: they were like peppering him with screen passes. So I 1145 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 2: think that they are leaning on him as Hey, we 1146 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 2: like this guy in passpro, we trust him and we 1147 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,719 Speaker 2: trust him to make plays in space. And look, you know, 1148 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 2: I am warm. I'm a sucker for Project Estimate. I 1149 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,440 Speaker 2: think it was a really talented guy coming out of 1150 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,280 Speaker 2: notreble Lot. I thought I thought that if he hadn't 1151 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 2: just totally butchered his forty yard dash time, like he 1152 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,480 Speaker 2: would have probably been a much higher draft pick, but 1153 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 2: somebody gave him really bad advice and said to run 1154 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 2: the forty and he just totally butchered it. So that's 1155 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 2: why his draft stock plummeted. And again was with Denver 1156 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,880 Speaker 2: as a rookie. Spent some time on the Eagles practice 1157 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 2: squad as well, but bounced around found a home with 1158 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 2: Kellen Moore in the Saints backfield that's been hit by injuries. 1159 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,760 Speaker 2: And look, five foot eleven, two hundred and twenty seven pounds, 1160 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,520 Speaker 2: plays with a physical run style. And I think that 1161 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,040 Speaker 2: I'm kind of bearing the lead here with why was 1162 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,800 Speaker 2: I right last or last week about Travis Eten because 1163 00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 2: he was facing the New York freaking Jets Jets the 1164 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 2: last five running micks they have faced a Chan RB eight, 1165 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,600 Speaker 2: djat RB one, Derrick Henry RB four, Henderson RB three, 1166 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 2: etm last week RB two, Like you just gotta follow 1167 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 2: the flow chart, guys. They play the running back that's 1168 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,840 Speaker 2: facing the New York Jets who just fire their defensive coordinator, 1169 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,000 Speaker 2: Steve Welks. Maybe it makes them better, maybe he doesn't. 1170 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 2: I don't think it will. Saints as home favorites positive 1171 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 2: game script. I think Estimate, if he gets going here, 1172 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 2: I think you could see north of twenty carries and 1173 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 2: have a monster monster game. So someone that love out 1174 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 2: off waivers and start in your flex this week in 1175 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,239 Speaker 2: the semi finals. Dare I say if Jake London plays 1176 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:41,279 Speaker 2: pretty outscore Kyle Pitts, it might happen. But regardless, I 1177 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 2: feel good about Estima as a flex this week. 1178 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 4: I love it. It's a great call. 1179 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,439 Speaker 1: Where are you ranking him, By the way amongst running backs, 1180 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,359 Speaker 1: he's RB thirty nine in early ECR or thirty eight. 1181 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,560 Speaker 3: It's gonna move regardless. We have to make it. Will 1182 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:56,759 Speaker 3: on Devin Neil. 1183 00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 2: Look, I'm gonna have him in flex territory right where 1184 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,799 Speaker 2: it's like this guy, he'll probably be get the nod 1185 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 2: over some of these fringier wide receiver plays. 1186 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:07,480 Speaker 4: Estimate or Kareem Hunt. 1187 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,600 Speaker 3: Esme Yeah, I'm not not. No Kareem Hunt for me 1188 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,440 Speaker 3: esme easy, okay. 1189 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 1: I The whole time, by the way that we were 1190 00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,279 Speaker 1: talking about him, I just kept thinking like it would 1191 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 1: be fun if he was on the Patriots and we 1192 00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 1: could do like mix the names and have it. 1193 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 4: Aw Drake Estima your two favorite players. 1194 00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 1: I love odes we we are. We are the original 1195 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 1: Odric estimates. I know we're now Kyle Manung guys, but 1196 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,240 Speaker 1: we are still estimating. 1197 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 3: Mamong guy let us down. Looked terrible. 1198 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 2: He let you down big time for sud like and 1199 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 2: again like the process was right, I just got I 1200 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 2: picked the wrong running back and again I still had 1201 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:46,880 Speaker 2: Swift ranked higher than Man, but I think they were 1202 00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:47,799 Speaker 2: ranked back to back. 1203 00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:49,759 Speaker 3: So that was an l on my part. 1204 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 2: But I had the right game script, the right team, 1205 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 2: just the wrong running back. Not gonna go oh and 1206 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,399 Speaker 2: two two weeks in a row on our guys. So 1207 00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,600 Speaker 2: Audric est is gonna smash this week. And so guarantee 1208 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,319 Speaker 2: it's going to be Evan Hall with two touchdowns, one 1209 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,799 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty yards rushing, and I'm gonna be wearing 1210 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 2: the clown mask on week eighteen when we come back. 1211 00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 1: Okay, here's my hard rack best bet of the week. 1212 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,280 Speaker 1: The Raiders have a better offensive game than last week, 1213 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,440 Speaker 1: but still end up with no startable players in fantasy. 1214 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 1: They are, of course going up against the Texans. It 1215 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 1: is a laughable before you know matchup of that defense 1216 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 1: versus that offense right now, So the prop angle I'm 1217 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 1: taking on this is that is an under on really 1218 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,800 Speaker 1: any brock Bauer stat whatever it is. I'm the Raiders 1219 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 1: like implied point total in this game is just like ludicrous. 1220 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 4: It's they're not going to score. 1221 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:49,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, I'm not going to predict a 1222 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 1: shout out because that's crazy. But this is not going 1223 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,920 Speaker 1: to be a game where there are startable it's fantasy options. 1224 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,040 Speaker 1: I don't expect like and basically all that needs to 1225 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,160 Speaker 1: happen for that to be true for me is like 1226 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 1: bad brock Bowers and Bratt bad Ash and Genty because 1227 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,480 Speaker 1: you know who else are even really considering in the 1228 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 1: current state of the offense in this matchup. So yeah, 1229 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,560 Speaker 1: I'm going with no startable players. It's a you know 1230 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,279 Speaker 1: again better than they were against the Eagles because they 1231 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,360 Speaker 1: had under one hundred total yards in that game. 1232 00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:21,439 Speaker 3: Against the Severn five. 1233 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,440 Speaker 1: They will have more than seventy five yards against the Texans, 1234 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,080 Speaker 1: but don't I don't know if they're going to score 1235 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,399 Speaker 1: much more. This is gonna be really ugly ericson. 1236 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not really sure I have much else to 1237 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,200 Speaker 2: add here. Maybe it feel different if the Raiders are 1238 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,680 Speaker 2: playing at home, but it's also on the Road, so 1239 00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 2: you're not really dealing with that type of home underdog 1240 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 2: type of narrative. Pete Carroll's talking about how he says 1241 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,759 Speaker 2: he's not playing for his job and there's a chance 1242 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,160 Speaker 2: that Geni Smith comes back, and clearly Genie Smith is 1243 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,839 Speaker 2: an upgrade over Kenny Pickett. So to your point about 1244 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,320 Speaker 2: the prediction being correct, if they do get their starting 1245 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 2: quarterback back under center, think. 1246 00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,759 Speaker 3: That will give a boost to the off to at 1247 00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 3: least maybe kick a field goal. 1248 00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:03,800 Speaker 4: Bowers or Pits this week? 1249 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,279 Speaker 2: Thank you? You still got to play Pitts. I can't, man, Yeah, 1250 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,720 Speaker 2: I think it's still Pets. Even Drake one new potentially 1251 00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 2: coming back. 1252 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 1: So those were our hard Rock Best Bets of the week. 1253 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,800 Speaker 1: Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, 1254 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:18,800 Speaker 1: hard Rock Bet.
