00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed your long weekend with all the

4
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: food and football. I certainly did, but I'm thrilled to

00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: be jumping back into another week of NFL fantasy football.

00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: Here to chat with me today about Week twelve and

00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: waiver wire pickups is Graham Barfield of Fantasy guru dot com.

8
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: Hey Graham, thanks for joining the show. Hey Bobby, thanks

9
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: for having me on. So, like quick story here before

10
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: you get going, I used to work for Fantasy Pros ironically, Wow,

11
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah, So three years ago I

12
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: became a news correspondent, like when I was trying to

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: get into the industry and really kind of dip my

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: toes in the water. And I was actually hired by

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: Blame Blonds. So pretty ironic. Pretty cool to be on

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: the show. Everything's very cool, kind of come full circle here.

17
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: It's a cool moment for me for sure. Well, Graham,

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: you do great work, so we're really excited to have

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: you on it. For those of you listening, if you

20

00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: looking for correspondence. I mean, especially with football, there's just

22
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: so much content to cover. But really for any of

00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: the sports. Hopping over to our website, you know, search

00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,200

00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: Please do yourself a favor, get involved, give it a

26
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: ghost if you like it, and maybe you'll be able

27
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: to make a name for yourself. Yeah, definitely. I mean

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: that's how I got going is doing the news correspondent,

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: and I did it during the preseason and I think

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: they allowed me to do like different teams, which is

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: cool for me. So yeah, definitely, if you're trying to

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: make a name for yourself or just see if you're

33
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: even interested, I would definitely check out the news desk. Well,

34
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Graham Russell Wilson just killed me in DFS this weekend.

35
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: I was telling everybody to play him. But the thing

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: is twenty three hurries allowed by the Seahawks against the Buccaneers.

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: That's Seattle offensive line. It is not going to take

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: them anywhere in the playoffs. Yeah, it's pretty brutal. It's

39
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: kind of like what the Vikings are going through right now.

40
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: We all thought the Vikings were a contender. But if

41
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: you don't have if you don't have a you know,

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: at least a league average offensive line, even if you

43
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: have Russell Wilson, who I think is a pretty strong

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: deodorant for a lot of the things that go wrong

45
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: in Seattle. Yeah, like you mentioned, it's really really tough

46
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: to kind of have any week to week consistency. On

47
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: the opposite side of that game, Mike Evans went for

48
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and two on eight receptions against Richard Sherman.

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been dominating all season. Is it fair

50
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: to say Mike Evans should now be considered the best

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the world. Yeah, I think this is

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: kind of a funny question. Yeah, he's been fantastic this year.

53
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean he's obviously this has kind of been like

54
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: a like a perfect storm for him. You know, Vincent

55
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: Jackson goes out for the season and Evans just starts

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: dominating targets. In fact, Mike Evans's target share is tied

57
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: for the third highest rate of the past five years

58
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: at thirty two percent. Get this, this is pretty crazy.

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: Evans is on pace for fourteen hundred yards and fourteen touchdowns,

60
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: which has really been done right, which has only been

61
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: done by eleven different receivers since nineteen seventy and I

62
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: think like five or six of those instances, maybe even

63
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: more with Jerry Rice and randomzing. So yeah, he's on

64
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: an unbelievable pace right now. That's a really good stat Grin,

65
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Yeah. Yeah, I love doing this

66
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Man. I do a weekly article over

67
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: at fantasygrewer dot com that that you can subscribe and

68
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: check out that I have all types of stats just

69
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: like that at it. Yeah. I know, you're real analytical.

70
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: So I was looking forward to having me on the

71
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: show because I'm the same type of way and I

72
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: love to just crunch these numbers and really get a

73
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: taste of what's actually going on with these players. Yeah,

74
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: it's definitely like my favorite part. Absolutely. You know, it's

75
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: really nice to have wide receivers like Mike Evans when

76
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position, especially this past week, is just

77
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: so volatile. You look at these names. These are the

78
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers with a hundred yards in Week twelve prior,

79
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: Marquis Wilson, dontrelle Inman, Teddy Gain, DeShawn Jackson, Crabtree, Quincy

80
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: and Nona, Michael Thomas, Mike Evans, and Emmanuel Sanders. I mean,

81
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: that list is so obscure. It's just it's crazy to

82
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: have to pick out of all these guys, who's going

83
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: to be the guy that gets one hundred yards in

84
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: the landscape of the NFL today, Yeah, it's really bizarre.

85
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: This is a really bizarre week from a multitude standpoints.

86
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's even more shocking than that

87
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: list is. Brandon Cooks and Eric Ebron both posted goose

88
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: eggs and really solid spots. So yeah, yeah, those pass catchers, man,

89
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: they're always super volatile. I you mentioned and Ebron, I

90
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: mean he's been on the money all season, so everyone's saying, oh,

91
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: I knew this guy wasn't any good. He's been as

92
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: consistent as they come. Weeks like this just happened everyone. Yeah.

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: I think entering this week, Ebron had at least four

94
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: catches in every game. He was fully healthy for us.

95
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely, if you can still trade or you know,

96
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: by Low and guys, I think Ebron's a solid Bylow. Yeah.

97
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: One of those guys that we mentioned, Michael Thomas, he's

98
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: been appearing on this list throughout the season several times

99
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: he is really really good, and he just keeps getting better.

100
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: He keeps proving us all wrong and emerging even further

101
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: up the rankings for rest of the season. So I'm

102
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: curious next season's draft. How high do you think Thomas

103
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: is gonna go? Man? I you know, I've been frustrated

104
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: with myself about Mike Thomas this year. Bobby, I loved him,

105
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: like when we were doing MFL ten drafts in like

106
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: June and August, and I started, yeah, I started moving

107
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: off of him a little bit for whatever reason, he

108
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: got cheaper and I just should have should have kept hammering.

109
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: I got a great stat here from Evan Silva of

110
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: Rhoda World Thomas actually leads New Orleans and targets, catches, yards, touchdowns,

111
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: red zone targets, and playing time. So he is by far. Yeah,

112
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: he is by far. It's pretty amazing that he's come

113
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: this far and and drew brees Sean Payton offense as

114
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: a rookie. So I would answer your question, I, you know,

115
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: it's it's really it's kind of too soon, I think,

116
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: but I think he should easily be the number one

117
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: Saints drafted receiver. I still think Cooks will probably go

118
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: ahead of him, just because people, you know, love Brandon

119
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: Cooks and he's a fine player. But I think probably

120
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: fifth or sixth round. Where do you what do you

121
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: think he goes? I have him right there in the

122
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: late thirties, early forties, so depending on the size of

123
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: your league, maybe maybe late fourth round if someone's really

124
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: reaching on the hype. I think he's gonna be a

125
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: really high player next year. I want to draft him

126
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: until the fifth round. But man, that is so much

127
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: higher than anyone thought he was going to be at

128
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: this point. He is a very good wide receiver. Yeah, definitely.

129
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, what's so cool about Thomas too? If you

130
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: just you know, just flick on the highlights as he's

131
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: he's a bigger guy, but he moves kind of like

132
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: a shiftier brand, Like he's almost kind of like Brandon

133
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: Cooks in terms of short area quickness. But yeah, he's

134
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: he's a dominant player. He's a great route runner. Two.

135
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean, to have that size and to run routes

136
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: the way he does, he's gonna be something really special.

137
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna be one of these elite wide

138
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: receivers that could be drafted in the first early second

139
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: round at the pinnacle of his career. Yeah, definitely. I mean,

140
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: if Drew Brees keeps doing this thing. I mean, I

141
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: know Breeze is getting up there in age, but he's

142
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,559
Speaker 1: kind of Yeah, I hope so too. I love Drew Brees,

143
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: and you know, he's been ageless this year. I arguably

144
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: having one of his best best seasons ever. Right now.

145
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Who another rookie wide receiver who's just been dominating lately

146
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: and especially in Week twelve. Tigreek Kill of the Kansas

147
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: City Chiefs rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown, kick return touchdown. This

148
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: guy is doing it all? Is Is this success repeatable

149
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: moving forward? Yeah? I mean, I know Jeremy Macklin has

150
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: missed the last couple of weeks with a groin injury,

151
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: but I kind of think so. I mean, per Pro

152
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: Football Focus, Smith's Alex Smith's average depth of target has

153
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: been in the bottom two of the league for three

154
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: straight years, and Hill's average depth of the target since

155
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: he kind of came on these last three weeks ranked

156
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: sixty first out of seventy seven qualifying receivers, So they're

157
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: kind of manufacturing touches giving him the ball in short,

158
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: average depth of target situ. So as long as that

159
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: trend kind of continues and they don't start, you know,

160
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: using him as a field stretcher, which I don't think

161
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is at all at this point. Yeah, I

162
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: think tire Hill is a good bet for four or

163
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: five catches every week. Man, I'm I've been watching just

164
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: how pathetic the Rams have been this season. I've a

165
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: rooting interest against them because I'm from Saint Louis. So

166
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: it was amazing when I saw that Greg Robinson was

167
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: a healthy inactive. We're talking about the guy that was

168
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: picked with a second overall pick just a couple of

169
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: years ago. How bad can it get? Are they? Are

170
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: They on the verge of passing the Browns for the

171
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: most pathetic organization in football? Oh? Man? So I saw

172
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: that Robinson was a healthy inactive, and I think he's

173
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: played every single snap since they drafted him. I mean,

174
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: just so so brutal aire Jeff Fisher, you know, I

175
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: don't really know why he's still in the league. To

176
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: be completely honest with you, I'm sure you can you

177
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: can attach about past the record for most losses in

178
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: NFL history. He's got two more to go until he

179
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: ties it. Oh that should tell you all you need

180
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: to know. I mean, it's just you know, coming this week.

181
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Benny Cunningham was out targeting Girle Todd Gurley

182
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: in three straight games, so you know, they don't know

183
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: what the hell they're doing. It's it's incredible and it

184
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: is so fun to watch, and no one's showing up

185
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: through their games. It's just beautiful. Hey, at least they got.

186
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Jerry Goff looked competent. I know it, Yeah, yeah,

187
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: he did. I was surprised by that. I mean they

188
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: had him as their third string quarterback, so I thought, man,

189
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: this guy's behind Case Keenum and Sean Mannion. He must

190
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: be terrible. But you know, he looks like he can

191
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: be something. Yeah yeah, I mean, obviously it's just two games,

192
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: and I you know, all these rookie quarterbacks going to

193
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: the microscope so quickly. But he made some pretty solid

194
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: throws last week. I'll give him that. Let's move on

195
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: over to waiver wire pickups. And I want to start

196
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: with Colin Kaepernick, who when he got the starting job,

197
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: I was thinking, I'm just gonna pick on him every

198
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: single week. Whoever the opposing defense is that's who I'm streaming,

199
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: and he has been really good. He's got three hundred

200
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: and seventy three rushing yards in six games. If he'd

201
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: played a whole season at that rate, he'd be right

202
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: between Lady On Bell, Spencer Wearing, Todd Gurley on the

203
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: Russian League board twenty two point seven Standard league fantasy

204
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: points per game. It's ahead of Andrew Locke, Big Band,

205
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, Derek Carr. Just imagine if he had anyone

206
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: around him. Yeah, this is kind of like what Richie

207
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: bar from Rotal World talks about every week and the

208
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: Konami Code, where basically all these quarterbacks that we perceive

209
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: as bad passers just elevate themselves with their elite rushing floor.

210
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean prior coming onto the show, I

211
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: think I saw he was like twenty five percent owned

212
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: and like standard leagues, which is just insane to me.

213
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Kaepernick has scored over twenty fantasy points in

214
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: three of his last four games. And now he gets

215
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: Chicago and we all know about their injuries that they have.

216
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: You know, they just lost Danny Trevathan for the season,

217
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, Kaepernick should be owned in every single league

218
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: at this point, and I honestly think teams are going

219
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: to win championships with Colin Kaepernick as their quarterback. Is

220
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: weird as that kind of sounds, Yeah, it does. It

221
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: does sound weird. I'll tell you what about the Chicago Bears.

222
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: They lost their quarterback, they lost their running back, they

223
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: lost their two wide receivers, they lost their tight end.

224
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: It cannot get any worse there. Ei, They're just so

225
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: unlucky this year. Once they get all those guys back,

226
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if they can find themselves a quarterback, that's

227
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: an interesting team moving forward. Yeah. And you know it's

228
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: even funnier is they lost three offensive linemen this week.

229
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: They didn't play without Kyle Long, who's out for the season,

230
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: Bobby Nassy has a concussion, and Josh Sitton, who's been

231
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: one of the best guards in football the last five

232
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: or six years, was out too. I mean, this is

233
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: just I think they're gonna feel the worst team in

234
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: the league in Week thirteen, which is ironic because they're

235
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: playing San Francisco, who's completely talent deficient as well. That

236
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: game is gonna be just disgusting. Yeah, yeah, it will be.

237
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm not looking forward to writing that one up. You know,

238
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: it's crazy too. They also had all four of their

239
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: secondary guys out for two consecutive weeks earlier in the season.

240
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: I have never seen the injury bug hit a team

241
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: like this since the Packers won the Super Bowl. I

242
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember that crazy season that they had,

243
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: but they had, like you know, every team's got twenty

244
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: two starters. At one point, they had fifteen of their

245
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: original starters out and they were the only team in

246
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: NFL history who was never down by more than a

247
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: touchdown and they won the Super Bowl. It was it

248
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: was remarkable. Yeah, it's pretty wild. Too bad. The Bears

249
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: are just you know, they're completely got awful this year. Unfortunately. Yes, yes, thing,

250
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that in the NFL this year.

251
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: There's like four or five teams that whenever a team

252
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: plays them, like you stack everyone against them because they're

253
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: just bad. Yeah, the Bears are that team right now.

254
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: I think I think con Kaepernick should should arguably be

255
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: a top six play in Week thirteen. So I think

256
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: Kenneth Dixon is the top running back pickup of the week.

257
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: He had seventeen touches. I've been begging for this forever

258
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: He's got so much talent. The Ravens keep talking about

259
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: how much they love him. Finally they give him seventeen touches.

260
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: Is he the top pickup of the week or is

261
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: there someone else you haven't mind? No, he is. You know.

262
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: The thing that that kind of bothers me here about

263
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore is they keep, you know, having Terrence West involved.

264
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: He and West actually have the same number of opportunities,

265
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: that's attempts plus targets. Last week was seventeen and they

266
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: both had fourteen carries. I will say, though, Kenneth Dixon

267
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: snaps have increased every single week since Baltimore's buy, which

268
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: is incredibly encouraging. But I just don't see West going

269
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: away to the point where Dixon could come like be

270
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: in every week RB two. But if you know, West

271
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: gets hurt, we always see the randomness kind of take

272
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: place with these running back back fields. And you know,

273
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: I think Dixon is a fine pickup, and I'm not

274
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: immediately jumping all over him. I do love his talent.

275
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought he was a great player out

276
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: of Louisian Attack, arguably one of the best receivers in

277
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: this rookie running back class. But you know, West is

278
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: kind of a thorn thorn in his side right now. Yeah,

279
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: it's really bizarre what's going on over there. I mean,

280
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: they're both pretty solid running backs, but I think Dixon

281
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: is clearly better. So I'm just waiting for him to

282
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: fully take over this job, even with the time share

283
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: in mind. I mean, I've been talking about him for weeks,

284
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: so you guys listening, this is really no surprise to you,

285
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: But maybe there's some new people listening. Kenneth Dixon can

286
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: be an RB one in this league as soon as

287
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: he starts getting fifteen touches every single game. He is

288
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: extremely talented. That Ravens off of line is not bad.

289
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: Flacco keeps defense is honest because he throws deep and

290
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: there's really no other running back that you can get

291
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: that's going to get ten targets ten touches per game,

292
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: and right now Dixon's getting that. So he's the guy

293
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: you got to pick up. I know a lot of

294
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: people have a bunch of fab money left over, so

295
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: if you're going to spend it, this is a guy

296
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: to spend it on. I'm not going crazy over him.

297
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: I already picked him up in my leagues. But if

298
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: he was available, I wouldn't go crazy just because you know,

299
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: he's not that exciting. He has a timeshare, but he's

300
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: the best option there is right now. Yeah, definitely, I

301
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: mean right now with if you have a bunch of

302
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: fab money just kind of sitting in your back pocket eye,

303
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: I'd be completely willing to just throw it at whoever

304
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: you feel has the most upside going forward. You know,

305
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be opposed to picking up a defense like

306
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots or one of these other defenses that just

307
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: has a great Week fifteen and sixteen matchup. I've mentioned

308
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: this a few times, but if you haven't done it,

309
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: it's getting to be too late. Someone in your league's

310
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: about to make this same move. So help yourself win

311
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: a championship. Pick up the best defense for weeks fifteen

312
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: and sixteen now before it's late. Yeah. I always love

313
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: those types of power moves. That's a really good call.

314
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: So how would you rank the top wide receivers. We're

315
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: looking at Muhammad Sanu Quincy and noon one Marquis Lee

316
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: and uh don't roll inman for the San Diego Chargers.

317
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: Who do you like the best among those guys? It's

318
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: not really exciting but if you've got to pick up someone,

319
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: who's it gonna be? Oh Man? Yeah, you know, obviously

320
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: it's not a great list there, I mean, dontrelle Em

321
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: then I think would probably be number one, just because

322
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, Tyrone Williams is looking questionable with

323
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: a shoulder, and the Chargers rest of season schedule just

324
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: looks frankly amazing. Travis Benjamin has kind of been battling

325
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: that PCL all year, So yeah, I think I think

326
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: Edman is a decent floor play as a wide receiver

327
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: three or four. I know, it's kind of surprising, and

328
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm from Jacksonville, Bobby, so maybe I have a little

329
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: bit of bias here. But Marquise Lee has basically been

330
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: in his first two years a borderline NFL player, but

331
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: something has come on in him in the last you know,

332
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: I guess nine months contract your baby, Yeah, yeah, I guess. So.

333
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: I mean he's caught four more balls in nine of

334
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: his last ten games, and he's actually been kind of

335
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: a serviceable PPR start, So he would be my number

336
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: two guy, and then Sanu in a noon while. You know,

337
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: I just kind of throw my hands up at guys

338
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: like that, you know, they you know, it's funny. It

339
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: is like they can have really solid, like usable weeks

340
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: and then they go through little lulls or two or

341
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: three weeks where they're you know, you know, they're waiver fodder.

342
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: So I'm not too thrilled about those two guys. Graham,

343
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: I think you've got the order right on the money.

344
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: Everyone who listens to the show knows that. I'm the

345
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: biggest Marquis Lee fan. I think he's an exceptional talent.

346
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: Now he's got Blake Bortles throwing the ball, so his

347
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: ceiling is really limited this year. But you know, I

348
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: think he can be a very good wide receiver in

349
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: this league, especially now that he's apparently trying really hard

350
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: and getting on the field. But you're right, it's inman

351
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: who's the number one guy listened to the schedule the

352
00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Tampa Bay, Carolina, Oakland, Cleveland. Those

353
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: are four of the eight worst secondaries in the NFL,

354
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: and he's got all of them in the final four weeks,

355
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: and he's probably gonna be getting the most targets on

356
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: that team. I know they've got Antonio Gates, I know

357
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: they have Melvin Gordon. I know they've got Travis Benjamin.

358
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: But look, if Tyroll Williams is out, Philip Rivers is

359
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: indoscriminate about who he throws the ball too, but he

360
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: throws the ball to wide receivers a lot an in minute.

361
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who's out there in men is gonna

362
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: get the ball and he's gonna make plays. He's been

363
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 1: making plays the last five weeks fifty eight yards, seventy

364
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: two yards, fifty six yards, forty three and then last

365
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: week one hundred and nineteen. With Williams out, that's gonna

366
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: be the type of line that we see six for

367
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: one nineteen. I'm not saying he's gonna get a hundred

368
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: every week. I mean that would make him an exceptional

369
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver, but you know what, he's startable moving forward,

370
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: and this is one of the guys that you pick

371
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: up at the end of the season and he can

372
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: help you win a fantasy championship. Yeah. And just I

373
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: mean on that same note, I mean, I think Tyroll

374
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: Williams is kind of even if he misses a game

375
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: or two, I think he's on par with, you know,

376
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: being a Fantasy league winning helper. I mean it's you know,

377
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: if you discount the games they played against. Denver Williams

378
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 1: has over a honey yards and or a score in

379
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: five straight games. So, oh yeah, it's he's been fantastic.

380
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a raw player. Um obviously, I think

381
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: he still has a lot to learn. But yeah, both

382
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: of these guys I think are really solid options. And

383
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is just he's amazing. He's he can It's

384
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: amazing what he can still do even with offensive line

385
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: right right, no keenan Allen Antonio Gates is on his

386
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: deathbed and can't get open. It's it's pretty remarkable. Philip

387
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: Rivers is really sensational. I wonder if he was the

388
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: one that was paired with Bill Belichick, if we'd be

389
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: talking about him. Is maybe the best quarterback of all time.

390
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 1: I know that sounds extreme, but um man, he just

391
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: watched this guy play with virtually no talent around him,

392
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: and Brady's in a scheme. Look, I'm not taking anything

393
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: away from Brady. He's a fantastic player, definite Hall of

394
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: Fame player. I'm just not ready to call him the

395
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: best quarterback of all time because I think he's in

396
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: a scheme. I think that if you were to take

397
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: one of these other quarterbacks like Philip Rivers, like and

398
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Put him in there, they'd be doing just

399
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: as well as Tom Brady. Bilichick is the master, and

400
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: Brady's really good, but man, Philip Rivers is too. Yeah.

401
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: Rivers is having a great year, like you mentioned, despite

402
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: all of the things that have gone wrong with that

403
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: team and all the weird losses they had earlier in

404
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: the year. So for deeper leagues, let's take a look

405
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: at another tier of wide receivers. Who's the best bet

406
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: between guys like an kum Bolden, Malcolm Mitchell, Eli Rodgers,

407
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: and h and feeling for the Vikings, I'll go pure

408
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: upside here and say Malcolm Mitchell. I mean, I think

409
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: he's kind of contingent upon if Chris Hogan continues to play.

410
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: Mitchell snaps were cut from eighty six percent to forty

411
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: seven percent with Hogan back last week, so if Mitchell

412
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: can stay on the field, I think he's got enough

413
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: talent to earn Tom Brady's trust and target, so I'll

414
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: go with him. I think Eli Rodgers is a fine

415
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: PPR option. You know, he doesn't have a ton of

416
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: upside in an offense with a B and Levon getting

417
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: all the you know, really high volume work, and then

418
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: I think the Adam feeling is more of a kind

419
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: of a Stefon Diggs handcuff. At this point, I think

420
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: healing is okay in this similar Eli Rogers kind of mold.

421
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: But you know, if Diggs is out, feeling becomes a

422
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: lot more viable. I think he's instantly a wide receiver

423
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: three starter. But Diggs was back in practice this Monday,

424
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: so you know, I'm not really too enthused with any

425
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: of these guys. But you know, if you if I

426
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: had to pick one, it'd be Mitchell. Yeah. For me,

427
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: I want to Even if I had Feeling on my team,

428
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: I would drop him. The only reason I bring him

429
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: up is because a lot of people are talking about

430
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: picking him up this week. You know, he's been solid

431
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: when he gets to work, but this Vikings offense just

432
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have much room for wide receiver work. It's gonna

433
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: go to Diggs, it's gonna go to Cordell Patterson, and

434
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: Theeland's the odd man out. So I'm not too fond

435
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: of him moving forward. Now. The other three are interesting

436
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: to me. I keep talking down on an kuon Bolden,

437
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: but he just keeps getting it done. So at this point,

438
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just admitting I'm wrong. An kum Bolden

439
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: is my number one wide pick up out of this

440
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: group just because he keeps getting the ball. He's a

441
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: good red zone threat. They're going to keep him on

442
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: the field because he blocks really well. He's he's just

443
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: a producer. And and I give up. He wins, he wins. Now,

444
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: Malcolm Mitchell, You're right, he's extremely exciting. I was really

445
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: high on him in the preseason. I was thrilled when

446
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: he finally got his chance to step onto the field

447
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: and show what he's made of. And and he's been

448
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: really impressive. Now consider that he's also had two pretty

449
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: cupcake matchups. He's been getting a lot of snaps. Now

450
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski might be out for a while. That could

451
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: help out Martellis Bennet's obviously gonna get the ball some.

452
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: But Malcolm Mitchell's a playmaker. My only concern is that

453
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: he hasn't been getting the ball that much thrown his way. He's,

454
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: you know, been getting four or five targets even over

455
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: the last two games when he dominated, and so look,

456
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: I just can't get that excited about him. For this

457
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: year now Dynasty League. Yeah, I'm going crazy over him.

458
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to acquire him if I can. But for me,

459
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: he's number three on this list, and that makes Eli

460
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: Rogers number two. I just think Sammy Coats isn't gonna

461
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: be able to come back and really be the type

462
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: of guy that he's been all season with the state

463
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: of his fingers. I mean, he's got seven working fingers.

464
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: You try catching a ball with a jam finger little

465
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: of three broken fingers. I mean, I know he's a

466
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: pro and everything, but there's no reason Eli Rodgers can't

467
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: can't prove himself to be better than Sammy Coats the

468
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: rest of the season. He's got Big Ben throwing the ball,

469
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: the schedule is not that bad, and so he's my

470
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: number two guy on this list. But again, not very

471
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: excited about anyone in this list. Yeah, definitely. And I mean,

472
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: like you mentioned on Bolden, I'm sorry I kind of

473
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: skipped over him there, but he you know, he has

474
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: nine targets and back to back games and he's kind

475
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: of been one of Matthew Stafford's favorite red zone targets.

476
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: He has thirteen of those this season, so you know,

477
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: he's fine. He's serviceable, but there's just not a huge

478
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: amount of upside there, you know with these deeper league guys, Bobby,

479
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: I usually just I swing for the fences, man, Yeah, yeah,

480
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: I think you've got to and I'm swinging for the

481
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: fences with backup running back. So I mean, if I

482
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: have to start one of these wide receivers, yeah, I'm

483
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: taking Bolden. But otherwise I don't want any of these

484
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: guys on my team. I mean, none of them are

485
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: gonna blow. Mitchell's the best bet. You're right about that.

486
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: But man, if I'm adding, if I have any room

487
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: to add anyone, I'm adding a ninth running back. Yeah, yeah, definitely.

488
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: You know, this is kind of like that crunch time

489
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: where you kind of have to swing for the fences

490
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: and hopefully one of these guys pops. Is there a

491
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: backup running back that you're just especially fond of, like

492
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: that you're getting in every single league? Oh? Man, not.

493
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, to be completely honest, I think Kenneth Dixon

494
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: has been one of those guys I've been trying to

495
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: get everywhere and just you know, hope and you pray,

496
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: to be honest, not really at this point, I think

497
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: a lot there's a lot of roles that are kind

498
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: of clear cut. You know, I try to go out

499
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: and get Thomas Rawles before some deadlines, and that obviously

500
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: kind of kind of hurt when Seattle laid an egg

501
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay, so that one kind of stung a

502
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: little bit. And you know, he's obviously not a waiver

503
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: at or anything, but not not in particular. Really. Now,

504
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: one guy that I'm really intrigued by, and this may

505
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: sound kind of crazy to you guys because he's been

506
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: out all season. He's still a backup running back. But

507
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: it's Charles Sims. He came back to practice last Wednesday.

508
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: He's ready to return to game action December fifth, and

509
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: you know he made never get on the field again.

510
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: It may not happen, but if you're looking to hit

511
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: a home run, if Doug Martin does go down, and

512
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: my numbers show that there's like a fifteen sixteen seventeen

513
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: percent chance that a player like Doug Martin will go

514
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: down in the next two or three weeks, it's just

515
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: the stats running backs to get her all the time.

516
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: It can be anyone, it can be Doug Martin. So

517
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: if it is Charles Simms, gets San Diego, New Orleans, Dallas,

518
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: New Orleans. You get New Orleans twice in the fantasy playoffs.

519
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: And Charles Simms last year was a very good running

520
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: back when he got opportunities. So look, I'm not saying

521
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna get an opportunity, but if he does, you

522
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: could be looking at a guy who might be the

523
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: most important running back outside of those elite players you know, Ezekiel, Elliott,

524
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray, all those guys, David Johnson at the end

525
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: of the season, Charles Simms could be an RB one

526
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: for you. So I'm picking him up right now. Yeah,

527
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: that's actually a really good call. I mean, you know,

528
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: I think Simms has caught two or more balls in

529
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: every single game over the last year's except for one.

530
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a good call with Sims coming back.

531
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: I just you know, the problem I have with these

532
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: guys that have been out for a long time, It's

533
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 1: just like you never know what you're gonna get. You

534
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: You have to wait a week to see what they're

535
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: gonna do and see what their usage you'll be, and

536
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: then you know, by then it's week fourteen and you're

537
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: in your Fantasy playoffs. You're like God, do I really

538
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: feel like I can start Charles Sims at this point?

539
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: So he's definitely a fine pickup. But I just have

540
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: a hard time buying in on this kind of like

541
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: injury optimism. Guys. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's how Tim

542
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: high Tower was. Last year. No one was picking up

543
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: Tim high Tower. I was not calling people to pick

544
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: up Tim high Tower. But every year there's gonna be

545
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: some starters who goes down late in the week, and

546
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: if you don't have fab money, your chance to get

547
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: him is right now. So you know, I figure if

548
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: I have five lottery tickets, maybe I increase my odds.

549
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: You know, if I have one lottery ticket up, you

550
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: got what three four percent chance of hitting home runs.

551
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: So I'm increasing my odds to maybe twenty percent. So

552
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: that's what I'm going for here. Probably not going to

553
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: work out, but if it happens, I'm gonna be a

554
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,239
Speaker 1: really happy man. Yeah, definitely, I like that call. So

555
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: some of these big home run hit at the wide

556
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: receiver position. Kenny Stills just frustrates me every week. I

557
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: keep thinking he's just not a very good wide receiver,

558
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: and then he goes for another big play. Marcus Wilson

559
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: had another real good game. Whenever he gets on the field,

560
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: he's been impressive to me. But another guy, Taylor Gabriel,

561
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: he just keeps getting it done. He's got sixty Standard

562
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: League Fantasy points in the last four weeks. What do

563
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: you make of these three guys? Are you a big

564
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: believer in any of them? Yeah? Shoutouts to Drew Dinkmeyer,

565
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: who won the Draft Kings Million Dollar Maker with Marquis

566
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: Wilson in his lineup at like two percent and a

567
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and I know he was probably

568
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: thrilled to see Wilson have a solid week this week.

569
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Wilson is by far the most interesting one

570
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: of this trio here to me. He had eleven targets

571
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: in Week twelve that led the team, and he had

572
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: a sixty percent snap rate, which is second most on

573
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: the team behind Cameron Meredith. One thing that's really interesting

574
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: to look at and think about, and we don't have

575
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: too much data on and I think Scott Barrett of

576
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus has brought this up a couple times

577
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: for I'm honestly not sure if he's written about it,

578
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: but there's kind of some backup to backup corolarly going

579
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: on here. I think Marcus Wilson was on like the

580
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: fourth or maybe even fifth receiver on the team in

581
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: the preseason, and obviously Matt Barkley is nowhere, you know,

582
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: near touching starting time. So maybe Barkley and Wilson have

583
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: some sort of connection that they garnered in the preseason

584
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: ortice practice squad. Again, like I'm just throwing shots in

585
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: the dark here, So maybe that explains why Wilson led

586
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: the team in targets. But you know, if you can

587
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: get a guy who has eleven targets and you know,

588
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: has maybe a six to seven target floor, those guys

589
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: are always bankable wide receiver four as if you start

590
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of wide receivers in a deeply I feel

591
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: like with Taylor Gabriel, everyone's just been, you know, saying

592
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: he's a fluke, and he comes back, he comes back

593
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: from the buy, and he proves them all wrong with

594
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and twenty two fantasy points against Arizona. It's

595
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: just amazing to me. So now now everybody's on the

596
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel bandwagon and I'm not. I'm still not. I'm

597
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: still calling this a fluke. I mean, I'm looking at

598
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: the roster, You've got all world talent, Julio Jones, You've

599
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: got Muhammad san Nu, Davante Freeman, even Tevin Coleman and

600
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper the rookie tight end are getting more targets

601
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: than him. He's just not getting the targets too to

602
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: be a reliable start. It's just I think it would

603
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: be irresponsible as a fantasy owner to start a guy

604
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: who's probably gonna get two or three, maybe four targets

605
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: every single week moving forward. I mean, I just don't

606
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: think he's anything better than the wide receiver five. Look,

607
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: there's a chance that he goes off for a big

608
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: touchdown again this week and maybe even next week, but

609
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm not putting my money on it. I am not

610
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: adding him to my fantasy league. He's just wasted roster

611
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: space at this point. I would generally agree with that.

612
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Gabriel does have five targets in three straight games,

613
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: but like you mentioned, like it's hard to really project

614
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: him past three or four, and it's always really hard

615
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: to project those gadget type guys, and I think a

616
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: lot of his production this week came on just came

617
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: due to the fact Julio Jones is being shadowed by

618
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, who's having in all world season. I mean,

619
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: Pat Pete has arguably been the best cover corner in

620
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: the league this year. He's shut down Stefon Diggs, He's

621
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: shut down now Julio. He's having just an unbelievable He's good, man,

622
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: he is really good. Yea his hashtag very good. I

623
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: think Marcus Peters would probably fight you over that, though,

624
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you'd been watching him play with

625
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs now. The Chiefs defense outside of Justin Houston

626
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: and Eric Berry has been pretty good. But Marcus Peters, man,

627
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters is good. That guy can play some football. Yeah,

628
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Peters is a good player for sure.

629
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: But Philip Gains their other corner. He plays the stationary

630
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: side opposite of Peters's left side. He's just been getting

631
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: flamed this year. I think he gave up two hundred

632
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: yards in coverage. So, yeah, Peters is really good, and

633
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: I think a lot of teams are kind of showering

634
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: away from him just because the Chiefs play a stationary

635
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: baits defense. But yeah, Gains has just been getting destroyed.

636
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: He got destroyed by Emmanuel Sanders all last night. Yeah,

637
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: and you know what, Marcus Peters, if you throw the ball,

638
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: he's way, he's there's a good chance he's going to

639
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: pick it off and take it to the house. Yeah.

640
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: He's an explosive player. He you know, he's a very

641
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: aggressive and that's why he gets a lot of those picks,

642
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: pick sixes. He's just a very very aggressive guy. Yeah

643
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: he is. And you know, he's a great athlete, but

644
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: he's like half the athlete Patrick Peterson is. I almost

645
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: think if Patrick Peterson decided, you know what, I think

646
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: next year, I'm gonna play offense. I think he could

647
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: be one of the best wide receivers in football. I

648
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: mean we're talking about just a freak athlete. He could

649
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: go over and play basketball, probably probably be an All Pro.

650
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: He could go play soccer and pick it up and

651
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: be the best player in our country. I mean, no

652
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: disrespect to those guys, but Patrick Peterson, man, I don't

653
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: know if he's human. Yeah yeah, Pat Pete. I mean

654
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: he comes in and shuts down Julio, who is like

655
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: one of the most physically imposing, imposing receivers in the league.

656
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 1: It's you know, even you know, on the road everything.

657
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: It's it was pretty remarkable to see that, not just

658
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: physically imposing and just a huge specimen. But Dan Quinn

659
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: says Julio Jones could go down there in the Olympics

660
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: and be one of the top five men in the

661
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: world and in terms of raw speed drew yard dash.

662
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: Now I'm not buying that. Maybe he might be one

663
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: of the top fifty in the world, which is still incredible.

664
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: But that's who Patrick Peterson shut down. Yeah, it's it's

665
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable. And then I think a lot of people

666
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: are going to pick up that that Pat Pete is

667
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: surpassed like Sherman this year in terms of just pure

668
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,479
Speaker 1: coverage ability. He's been fantastic. I'll bet you sure Sherman

669
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: doesn't held me to tell I'm oh, I'm sure he does. Yeah,

670
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure he doesn't. But yeah, I mean Peterson has

671
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: been ridiculous this year. All right, top tight end pick

672
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: up again. I think this is ugly. You've got Ladarius

673
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: Green Fedorwitz, who we've been talking about for weeks. He's

674
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: just a touchdown or bust guy. And Lance Kendricks, who

675
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: keeps getting targets despite being a less than mediocre tight end.

676
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: So if you need a tight end, who are you

677
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: picking up? You're being incredibly kind to Lance Kendricks there.

678
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: I want no part of Jared Goff's tight end. And

679
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: I know Goff is fine last week, but still no,

680
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: thank you. I like tight ends for rookie quarterbacks. I

681
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: do like him, but not Lance Kendricks. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

682
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: You know, I keep saying Ladarius Green in these types

683
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: of spaces too, but you know, the usage just hasn't

684
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: picked up. He just has twelve eight and ten roots

685
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: run in Week ten and twelve Pro Football Focus, So

686
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's kind of just been an

687
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: empty calorie pick up there. And since Week five, c J.

688
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: Fiedor Warz is actually averaging seven point one's targets per game.

689
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: And I know his quarterback is brockos Wiler and he's

690
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: been again less than stellar. But you know, I think

691
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: fedor Warz is actually kind of on that weekly tight

692
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: end one radar. If you're really really desperate, you know what,

693
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: if you need a tight end at this point in

694
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: the season, you might as walk. You might as well

695
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: just quick, because these guys are not gonna help you.

696
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: It's it's ugly. If I have to pick up one.

697
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but I'm picking up LANs Kendricks.

698
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: He just keeps getting the targets, and I think he's

699
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: gonna get more and more with Jared Goff. I think

700
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw the ball more with Goff than they

701
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: did with case Keenum. Now it might get him killed

702
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: because their offensive line is in shambles. And I don't

703
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: mean shambles as in terms of like they're all injured

704
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: and battered up, but they're just really, really bad. So

705
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: Kendricks is a part of that. He's not a very

706
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: good run blocker, and you know, I do think he's

707
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball though, So if you have to

708
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: pick up one, I'm going lands Kendricks. Yeah, I mean,

709
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: I was just ribbing Goff and Kendricks, but I mean

710
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: he's fine. But none of these guys, like you mentioned,

711
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: none of them are just completely awe inspiring. You know,

712
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: there's also Austin Hooper sitting out there, And I know

713
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper is not a big name. He's a rookie

714
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: tight end. Matt Ryan's going to pass the ball all day,

715
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: every week, no matter what. And Austin Hooper has been

716
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: really efficient when he has the ball thrown his way. So,

717
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, kind of favorable schedule coming up. They're getting

718
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: out of a rough zone for tight end. So monitor

719
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper. It might be the time to pick him

720
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: up in case he explodes, because I think he can

721
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: be a tight end one week to week. I'm not

722
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: sure if it's gonna happen this year. Tight ends tend

723
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: to progress a little slower, but Austin Hooper is another

724
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: name to watch out for. Yeah, like you mentioned, I

725
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: think he's actually leading the league and yards per target

726
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: among guys that have like twenty or more targets. But yeah,

727
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: they play Kansas City this week, and that's a no

728
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: fly zone with Eric Berry. I mean, Eric Berry has

729
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: been by far like the tight end grew in terms

730
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: of just shutting people down. So Hooper's fine, but you know,

731
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: like yeah, like you mentioned rookies, and you know, it

732
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: just takes a lot of time with those guys now

733
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: streaming defenses. Who's your top pick up this week? Graham? Yeah,

734
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: So I actually do an in depth column at fantasygrew

735
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: dot com about streamers, and I was going through them

736
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: this afternoon. I kind of do just a quick gloss

737
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: over on Mondays, and it's a pretty brutal week. I

738
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: think the Ravens are like thirty percent owned on ESPN

739
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: dot com leagues, and they get Miami at home. The

740
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: Ravens are eight. I think they're averaging eight point five

741
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: points per game, which is fifth most. Now they've really

742
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: kind of come along here. But for a true streaming choice,

743
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: I'll go with Washington. Again. I usually do not like

744
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: picking defenses at home, but Carson Palmer has really not

745
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: been that great this year. He's actually absorbed two or

746
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: more sacks in each game over his past five, and

747
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: he's allowed He has four more sacks and three of

748
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: his last five, And prior to facing Dallas's elite defense

749
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: in Week twelve, Washington has a three point two sacks

750
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: per contest over their past six games. So I'm always

751
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: looking for those defenses. They're going to get a ton

752
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: of sacks, They're gonna get pressure, and pressure leads to turnovers.

753
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: So I think I'll go Washington. But it's not something

754
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: I feel incredibly confident about. You know, I'm thinking on

755
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: the same plane as you. I'm looking for pressure, and

756
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: so I'm thinking Indianapolis has a really bad offensive line.

757
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: They can't pass block to save their lives. Now, Andrew

758
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: Luck was out last week, He's very unlikely to miss

759
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: this coming week. Andrew Luck, he plays when he has

760
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: a chance to play, He's going to be in the lineup.

761
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: But even with Andrew Luck, they're probably gonna get to

762
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I don't know, ten, twelve, fifteen times. I

763
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: want to be surprised at all if the Jets defense,

764
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: which has some incredible playmakers on their front seven, I

765
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: want to be surprised if they get themselves three or

766
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: four maybe five plus sacks, forced a couple turnovers when

767
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: Luck's throwing, or pressure or forcing a fumble. So you know,

768
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: even if they do give up twenty twenty five thirty points,

769
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 1: I still like their chances to put up ten fantasy

770
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: points this week. So if you need a streamer, I

771
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: think you could do worse than Jets. Yeah, that's a

772
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: good call. Indianapolis has been dead last and it adjusted

773
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: sachary all season long. Like you mentioned, I mean, their

774
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: offensive line is just abysmal, and they're always a decent

775
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: floor play as a streaming target. All right, Graham, Well

776
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: that's all the questions we have for you. This week.

777

Speaker 1: Really appreciate you coming on the show and hopefully some

778
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,360
