12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: our faithful producer, Seenor Edward L. Murphy. Esquire Murphy, I

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: know you're probably not excited about the Giants, but is

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: there something football wise you are excited about this weekend? Um? Yeah, well,

15
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: I mean quickly, I mean, obviously, my Giants are playing

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: your your Niners here, and I think the Giants first

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: arders are gonna be definitely a pass heavy team the

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: rest of the way, So that's definitely interesting. I mean,

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: we have Mahomes verse uh Lamar Jackson this week, and

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: so I mean that's that's as good as it really

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: can get for NFL fans. Yeah, no doubt about it.

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got some good quarterback matchups early on.

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, the the Brady Breeze matchup, you know,

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: sort of flopped, you know, compared to what we expected.

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: But then last week Cam versus Russell was fantastic, and

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: now this week we've got We've got my Homes versus Lamar.

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: So you know, you were right, Eddie, that is and

28
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: that's the way they want me in the week. That's

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: the Monday night game too, so that's gonna be something

30
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: really exciting. Yeah, absolutely, So definitely something to look forward

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: to coming up this weekend. All right, let us bring

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: in our normal Friday co hosted is the one and

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: only Michael F. Florio. Florio, Good to see you as always.

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: How are we feeling after that TNF game last night?

35
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Good to see you, Marcus, but I'm not feeling great

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: after that game. I was really excited for last night's game.

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: I was excited for Gardner minshew, and that just kind

38
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: of flopped. Yeah, pretty much. We will get to that

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: in just a moment. But yes, the Thursday night football

40
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: game between the Dolphins and the Jaguars had a lot

41
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: of folks excited, right, the Jags had looked kind of

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: interesting in the first two weeks. You're curious to see

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: what the Dolphins would bring. Miami pretty much dominated that game.

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: They win thirty one to thirteen. So it took at

45
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: some of the top scores, starting off with James Robinson,

46
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: who was the name we talked about a lot in

47
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: the past week, and he was maybe the only guy

48
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: that really delivered up to our expectations. Uh. You see

49
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: that the forty six rushing yards eighty three receiving yards

50
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: on six catches, had a pair of rushing touchdowns as well.

51
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that no one knew

52
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: his name about a month ago until the Jaguar said

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: they were letting go of Leonard four Nett. Now he

54
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: is the hottest free agent in fantasy football. So I mean,

55
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: how are we ranking him RB two low and low

56
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: and RB one? Do we get crazy? I mean, where

57
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: where are we putting him? I think as of right now,

58
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: high end r B two is where I'm comfortable, but

59
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: I think that he can continue to work his way

60
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: up into the RB one territory. To me, I mean

61
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: he finishes the RB nine and week two, I think

62
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: he's gonna be top five back, definitely top ten back

63
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: in week three after what he did last night. To me,

64
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: the biggest thing was the fact that the receiving yards

65
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: the catches like they were using him in the passing game,

66
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: and I had thought that role would go to Chris Thompson.

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: So if if Robinson is continuing to see that pass

68
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: game usage like he he did last night, I think

69
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: he can work his way into RB one territory, which

70
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: just two weeks ago would have been completely wild to say.

71
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: Right absolutely, you mentioned Chris Stompson to the one thing

72
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: I did notice those late in that ballgame, there was

73
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: heavy Chris Thompson as the Jaguars were playing from behind

74
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: and throwing the football to try to come back, So

75
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: I guess he still does have a role. I suspect

76
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: this won't be the last time this year that the

77
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: Jags are are sort of trying to play catch up

78
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: in the third and fourth quarter. So maybe Chris Thompson's there,

79
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: But James Robinson has has locked himself in as the

80
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: top running back in Jacksonville, and I think whatever happens

81
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: with Racaul Armstead with the bios bow uh Florio, I

82
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: just don't see James Robinson giving this job up, considering

83
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: the way he's played the first three weeks, that something

84
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: happens to him or his play completely falls off a cliff,

85
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: like he has to be the guy that they continue

86
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: to use going forward. There. I don't see anyone else

87
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: taking that job from him, not the way he's played

88
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: these first three weeks. Yeah, no doubt. All right. So

89
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: then at the quarterback spot, there was a guy with

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: facial hair that we were all excited to see, and

91
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: then it ended up being the other guy that actually

92
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: had the good game, Ryan Fitzpatrick. A hundred and sixty

93
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: passing yards, a pair of passing touchdowns, and a rushing

94
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: touchdown for fits magic as well. There it is. Let's

95
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: not forget he was the Dolphins leading rusher in ten.

96
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: So you know it was I don't know what to

97
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: say about Ryan Fitzpatrick because we've seen this sort of

98
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: all before. Right, He'll get you some nice games, he'll

99
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: have some games where he just completely craters. But after

100
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: what he did last night, does this have any impact

101
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: on the Dolphins turning things over to t a tag

102
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: of aloa or was this just sort of you know,

103
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: a typical Fitzpatrick game and things are on track for

104
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: to anyway, I think that it does delay to a

105
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: just a little bit because there's incentive for the Dolphins

106
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: not to rush him along. He had that serious hip

107
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: injury in college. He had to have the surgery for

108
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: the dislocated hips. So I wouldn't be surprised if we

109
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: don't see TWA until you know, November ish on the

110
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: in the schedule, because right now, like Fitzpatrick, he he

111
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 1: has them looking competitive. That defense looked a lot better

112
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: last night than it did the first two weeks. They

113
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: added a lot of pieces, So I think if Fitzpatrick

114
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: can keep them competitive, they'll continue to ride with him,

115
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: especially because I mean, the players in Miami there just

116
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: seemed to love him so much and he's just having

117
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: a good time. So there's reason there for fans through

118
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: for him that the players around him seemed to like

119
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 1: him and they don't have to rush to with them.

120
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: That's maybe the biggest thing is if if you are

121
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, you don't want to rush to it. You

122
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: you're sort of playing with house money. No one expects

123
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 1: you to be a playoff team this year. You don't

124
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: have that pressure to go win right away. In some respects,

125
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: maybe that's a reason to put two in, But in

126
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: another respect, it's, hey, we can sort of wait on

127
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: this guy, especially if you know, every now and then

128
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: we get some good performances out of Ryan Fitzpatrick and

129
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: he does things like he did last night and help

130
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: us win the ballgame. So I understand it. I think

131
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: fantasy wise, part of me, I would say this as

132
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: a football fan, I want to see two. I want

133
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: to see him get on the field and play and

134
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: see what he can do in the NFL. For fantasy.

135
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: We sort of know what we have with Ryan Fitzpatrick,

136
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: and maybe it's okay to sort of stick with that

137
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: because we know he's going to feed the Vante Parker,

138
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: he's going to feed Preston Williams. We know all these things,

139
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: and so uh that maybe gives us a little bit

140
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: more comfort. All right, let's just get this out of

141
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: the way. We all were big on Gardner Minshow this week.

142
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: It didn't matter what outlet you were, you were reading

143
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: or listening to any number of shows on this network,

144
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: this podcast, other podcasts, and other written outlets. Everybody loved

145
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew this week against the Miami Dolphins. And then

146
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: on Thursday morning, I just had this weird feeling and

147
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: I just tweeted that with all the Minshew hype on

148
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: the timeline, things are just going to go sideways tonight,

149
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: aren't they? And they did. Gardner Minshew ge passing yards

150
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: in that Thursday night loss, but had an interception, could

151
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: have had two interceptions, lost a fumble. It was just

152
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: a miserable night for Gardner. Minshew just barely cracked double

153
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: digit fantasy points. Civil question, man, what happened? I just

154
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: think everything went wrong for Minshew, and the hype was

155
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: definitely overblown. Like I was someone who coming into the year,

156
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: I really liked Minshew and I drafted him on a

157
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: lot of teams, so I was, you know, starting him

158
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: last night, but even I was like, this hype seems

159
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: like it's getting a little bit too much after just

160
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: two weeks for Minshew, and and last night the wheels

161
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: just kind of fell off. I don't think that's something

162
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: that UM worried about too much going forward. Because DJ

163
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: Shark was out, his old lineman got ejected. I think

164
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: for a questionable ejection there, Chris Conley happened. I mean,

165
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: what was Chris Connley doing? Last night. I was he

166
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: playing for the Dolphins. Secretly, I don't know. There was

167
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: a past interference on what would have been an easy

168
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: touchdown pass for him if D D. Westbrook held onto it.

169
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: So just everything went wrong and Minsher though also did

170
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: not play great himself without Shark there. He wasn't really

171
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: throwing the ball down field much. Everything was just like

172
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: really short passes. He was throwing more to his running

173
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: backs and ever So, at least in ever this season

174
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: and the two weeks prior. So, I didn't like what

175
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: I saw to Minshew, but it's not something that has

176
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: me like panicking about him moving forward. Yeah, I think

177
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: that's maybe the biggest thing is you know, where do

178
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: we what do we think about him going forward? And

179
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: one thing I think it showed us is how much

180
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: DJ Shark means to that offense and what they need

181
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: him for, if for no other reason than the things

182
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: up for other people. We we didn't see as much

183
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: Lavisco chanlt as we thought we would have, but Hevelin

184
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 1: Cole had a couple of catches here and there, but

185
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: he was not a big part of it. I mean,

186
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: they peppered Chris Connley with targets really need to know

187
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: great success. He had a couple of really bad drops,

188
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: he had an offensive past interference. It was just kind

189
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: of a rough night generally for Chris Connley. So you

190
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: hope them when d J. Hart comes back in things

191
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: get a little bit better. They've got a good matchup

192
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: next week too. They play the Bengals next week, so

193
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: you can still sort of go back to the well.

194
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: Although I do imagine the Minshew hype will be somewhat

195
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: muted next week just because of what happened. I know

196
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: that I got it in my mentions. I'm sure a

197
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: lot of people got it in their mentions about Hey,

198
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: you guys hyped Minshew and what happened. Hey, look, I

199
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: will raise my hand on this one right like it

200
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: was a swing at a miss for a lot of us.

201
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: If it makes some of you feel better. I started

202
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: Minshew in a couple of places, So I am feeling

203
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: the pain a little bit on this Friday morning as well.

204
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: So understand that, yeah, hey, this is so, this is

205
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: sort of how things go. It's the weirdness of football,

206
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: right if we knew a fantasy football wouldn't be as fun.

207
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: Miles Gasket has stepped up and he is the lead

208
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: running back in Miami. This is the third straight week

209
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: he has been something close to a workhorse in the

210
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: Miami offense. He had ninety scrimmage yards. Uh, but what

211
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: do we do with him? Because he's doing all this

212
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: work and didn't they get down near the goal line

213
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: and Jordan Howard comes in and scores the touchdown? It

214
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: is It is maddening. And so for you, I mean,

215
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: how do you how do you evaluate and project Miles

216
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: Gaston going forward? I still have gasking as a like

217
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: on that borderline of like being a RB tour a

218
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: flex option each week. Last night was the perfect. It

219
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: was a good, great matchup for him. You can run

220
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars defense. We saw that last night. It

221
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: was also great game script from him that the Dolphins

222
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: were playing with a multiple score lead for pretty much

223
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: the entire games, so it led to him getting the

224
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: twenty two carries the five targets. Is great to see

225
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: because I really thought that that role was gonna go

226
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: to Matt Brita. But not only did Jordan Howard steel

227
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: a touchdown, he had two carries inside the two yard line.

228
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: One he got stuffed and then he got stuff on

229
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: both of them, and then they went to Ryan Fitzpatricks.

230
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: So until he starts getting those goal line carries, I

231
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: think he's more in that RB two slash flex range.

232
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: I treated after he scored the touchdown last night, he's

233
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: on pace for uh sixteen touchdowns in about fifty rushing yards.

234
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: I mean you see that right, three carries, one yard

235
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, and that has sort of been what

236
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: his lines have been this season, and coming into last

237
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: night he was playing about eight or nine snaps the game.

238
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: He was generally getting the ball when Jordan Howard was

239
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: on the field. They're giving him the football. So there's

240
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: no decoy with Jordan Howard. Right, if you're a defense,

241
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: you see him on the field, chances are they are

242
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: running the ball with him. But he's not getting you

243
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: kind of any kind of yarded you even the touchdowns,

244
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: aren't making it worth putting him in your lineup because

245
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: you know he's getting he's getting you six, seven, eight

246
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: points a week. It's just not sustainable. I have started

247
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: dropping him in any number of places. It just doesn't

248
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: make sense to hold onto Jordan Howard considering what he's doing.

249
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: But I mean, Florida, all he's doing is you mentioned

250
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: it's sort of messing things up for Miles Gaskin, Like,

251
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: just let Miles Gaskin do his thing and then ask

252
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: for Matt Brida for I mean, I just can't imagine

253
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: he's he doesn't have any fantasy value right now, right

254
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: because he's in between. He's not getting the touches of Gaskin,

255
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: he's not getting the touchdowns and Howard, I can't imagine

256
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: there's any reason to keep him on a roster. Yeah,

257
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: He's a player that I drafted a good amount of

258
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: in the double digit rounds this year, and I've just

259
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: I've cut him everywhere because, like you said, the touches

260
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: aren't there. He's not even getting the goal line touches,

261
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: like Jordan Howard. Is that like old school touchdown vulture

262
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: that we used to have to worry about it, you know,

263
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: years ago? That's back now, But Matt Brida doesn't even

264
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: have that role. I wouldn't want to have either one

265
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: of them on any of my fantasy rosters. Yeah, and

266
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: like where you were drafting Matt Breed on a lot

267
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: of spots, I was drafting Jordan Howard. It seems we

268
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: have both given up on that dream and Miles Gaskin.

269
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: He's the guy there in Miami. So that's if you're

270
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: looking for running back help, that is a good place

271
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: to go. Time now to look at some fantasy news

272
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: as we head into the third Sunday of the NFL season.

273
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn has announced that Justin Herbert will start Week

274
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: three against Carolina. Right now, Tyrod Taylor still dealing with

275
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: the effects of a punctured lung after he got an injection,

276
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: a pain killing injection for some cracked ribs. There. Herbert

277
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: looked pretty good last week and the loss to the

278
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. This week, he's got a good matchup

279
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: against the Carolina Panthers. How many guys would you start

280
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: Herbert over this week? How many guys would you bench

281
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: in favor of him? There's it might be more than

282
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: you you would originally think, because he did have a

283
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: really good game last week. But I have in this

284
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: QB eight team this week. Um. First of all, I've

285
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: never heard a head coach talk out against the rookie

286
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: making his first start in such a tough matchup more

287
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: than Anthony Lynn kind of talked of Herbert this week.

288
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: So that there's that, But also my fear in this

289
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: game is the Panthers defense allows more more fantasy points

290
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: to running backs than anyone and it's not even closed.

291
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: So I just have some concern that they're just gonna

292
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: run the ball all over them. The Panthers actually allowed

293
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: the second fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this year. I'm

294
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: not sure that's a testament to how good their secondary is.

295
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: I think it's more about that teams can just run

296
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: all over them. So, as you mentioned, with Herbert playing

297
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: pretty well last week, the one thing he did I

298
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: thought very well was go down field, something that we

299
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen from Tyrod Taylor with him at quarterback this week.

300
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: How much does that change how you feel about Keenan Allen,

301
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, Hunter Henry, any of those pass catchers in

302
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: the Charger offense. Yeah. I thought Keenan Allen was the

303
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: biggest winner because he saw a big time volume last

304
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: week after Week one, being like you know, right below

305
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: Mike Williams and targets and tied with Hunter Henry. So

306
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: I think he's the biggest winner. With a Herbert, I

307
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: think the running backs also are big winners because he

308
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: targeted both of them way more than than Tyrod did

309
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: because Tyrod likes to extend plays with his legs. I

310
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: think the only past catcher that this really hurts for

311
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: sure is Mike Williams, because Tyrod was really throwing the

312
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: ball downfield a lot to Williams. We didn't see that

313
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: as much from Herbert. He was going more towards Alan

314
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: and Henry and the running back. So I lowered Williams

315
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I definitely boosted up Keenan. Now

316
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: I am right with you too, especially on the past catchers.

317
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: I know week one that was sort of the panic

318
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: with Austin Actor that he got just one target, and

319
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: the fact that Herbert threw the ball in his direction

320
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: and in Joshua Kelly's direction a lot more is certainly encouraging.

321
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: We'll see how long Justin Herbert remains the starter, because

322
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn does seem committed to getting Tyrod back in

323
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: their under center. Now, if Herbert goes out and plays

324
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: well against Carolina, has another good game, I think the

325
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: drumbeats get louder for him to continue to start. But

326
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: for the moment, it looks like the makings of a

327
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: quarterback controversy in l A. So we'll keep an eye

328
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: on how things go down there for the Chargers. For

329
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, we know they have a slew of

330
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: injuries where he most are not likely to play. Uh.

331
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman is dealing with an injury as well. Jerick

332
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: McKinnon was a popular name on the waiver wire this week,

333
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: but according to a report in the San Francisco Chronicle,

334
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson could be the guy who sees the most

335
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: action in Week three against the Giants. The thinking being

336
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: that Wilson is going to get some of that early

337
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: down work where McKinnon is the third down pass catching

338
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: back and not a guy who maybe they will hand

339
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: twenty to twenty five touches too. So with that now

340
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: out in the atmosphere, what are your expectations for the

341
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: Niners running backs against the Giants. I think I have

342
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: been a little bit too low on Jeff Wilson, but

343
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm still expecting Jack McKinnon to be the fantasy back

344
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: that you want to play this week. And Marcus, I'll

345
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: give credit where it's due. You've been on McKinnon all

346
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: week before really I heard anyone else talking him up

347
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: and Jeff Wilson and last week despite them losing. Their

348
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: other backs played just nine percent of the snaps, he

349
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: had just two carries. I get the thinking that he

350
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: could be the early down back and maybe especially used

351
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: on the goal line carries, but I think McKinnon is

352
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: still the more explosive option there. I think he's the

353
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: better pass catcher, and the forty Niners are really gonna

354
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: need someone to step up in the passing game because

355
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: George Kittle might sit out. It looks like Jimmy g

356
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: isn't gonna be playing there already without Debo. So that's

357
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: their top pass catching options right there. So I think

358
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: there we may see some more dump offs to the

359
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: running backs as an extension of that. And for me,

360
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: McKinnon is still the play that I would go with,

361
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: and he's actually in my top twenty running backs. Yeah,

362
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: McKinnon was the guy that, you know, where I could,

363
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: I was really trying to add him in on waivers

364
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: as much as possible. I had mixed success, just because

365
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: based on your either waiver priority or you know, being

366
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: outbid uh in in budget leagues. So we'll see how

367
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: that turns out. I will say though, that where I

368
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 1: couldn't get McKinnon, I did go pick up Jeff Wilson,

369
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: Uh it, mind you if you go get him, keep

370
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: in mind it is a very short term situation, right.

371
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: Most of it is going to be back at some point.

372
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: Coleman is going to be back at some point, so

373
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: that's gonna push Wilson to the background. I do think, though,

374
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: the Jerick McKinnon, if you were able to grab him

375
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: off Waivers, has a longer term role in this offense.

376
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: He was playing better than Tevin Coleman even before the injury,

377
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: and as much as Kyle Shanahan kept trying to force

378
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: feed Coleman, at some point, you gotta think that's going

379
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: to end. And as long as McKinnon stays healthy, I

380
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a good role in that San

381
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: Francisco offense. So if you were able to get him

382
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: on Waivers, hey pack yourself on the back, because there

383
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: could be some long term production there. He could be

384
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 1: a guy that's worth holding onto and maybe making an

385
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: occasional flex streamer for you if you need him in

386
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: your backfield in New Orleans, I guess In Las Vegas,

387
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: I don't know either way. Drew Brees did not play

388
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: well for the Saints on Monday Night, football, and the

389
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: whispers began that maybe Breeze is washed, that maybe the

390
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: end is coming sooner rather than later for these Saints

391
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: long time star. He says, I feel good, borderline great,

392
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: so florial. Hearing that that he says he feels good

393
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: and taking into account the way he's played the first

394
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, does this make you more or less

395
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: worried about Drew Brees and the Saints offense? It would

396
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: make me more worried, because if he feels great and

397
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: he's still posting below fifteen fantasy points in both games

398
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: this year, what does a bad game look like like?

399
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't He's averaging the fewest are yards per throw

400
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: amongst all quarterbacks this year. I'm not saying that like

401
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: he's washed. I think this week is like the big

402
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: test for Room. He's at home in what could be

403
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: very high scoring game. If he flops again this week,

404
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: then I think we really need to start re evaluating

405
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: Drew Brees for fantasy. Yeah. I mean, I just wonder

406
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: what happened if this turns into when I I agree

407
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: with you, could be a high scoring game with him

408
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: and the Packers. He and Aaron Rodgers going back and

409
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: forth can they count on Drew Brees to carry this

410
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: offense if he has to throw the ball forty times?

411
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: If they just can't, you know, lead on Alvin Kamara

412
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: and and just hand him the foot by the way,

413
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I we talked about the Minshoe flop. Emmanuel

414
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: Sanders was one of the big flops of the week.

415
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: He and Jered Cook also just just completely vanished in

416
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: this past week when we thought they were primed to

417
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: do big things. Uh, just real quick, I mean, is it?

418
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: Is it? Alvin Kamara and Trey Kwon Smith are those

419
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: the guys to lead on until Michael Thomas comes back

420
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: to this offense? I think you can still trust Jared Cook,

421
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: especially this week and what I'm expecting to be again

422
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more higher scoring because of the state

423
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: of tight end, especially like if George kittles out. So

424
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: I think it's that. But Emmanuel Sanders is someone that, Yeah,

425
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: he's been a disappointment so far and I would be

426
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, staying away from him this weekend. And Marcus,

427
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: I will say this, I don't know if he makes

428
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: them a better real life team, but Jamis Winston would

429
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: make this a way more no doubt, And yeah, I have.

430
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: I jokingly tweeted free Jamos after breathing interception last week,

431
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: but absolutely Jamis was the quarterback this See this, this

432
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: group for fantasy would be so much fun. Make it happens,

433
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: Sean Payton. Even though we know that if Drew Brees

434
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: go south, you're just gonna put Tayson Hill in and

435
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: that's just gonna irritate all of us. But whatever, we

436
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: can dream alright. Today's show is sponsored by draft Kings,

Speaker 1: Another interesting Sunday of fantasy football and like this, real

443
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: football as well coming up this week. So that leads

444
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: us to some of our big questions as we head

445
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: into the bulk of Week three. First off, the Houston

446
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: Texans offense has been a roller coaster over the first

447
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Deshaun Watson especially, he hasn't given us

448
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: what I would consider to be a great game, so

449
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: far this season and this week he's got a tough

450
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. How do you feel about

451
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: starting Deshaun Watson Floria not great last week? What could

452
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: happened when he scored a fewer than fifteen Fantasy points

453
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: against that Ravens defense. The Pittsburgh Steelers are just as tough.

454
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: He always has that upside because I mean, he still

455
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: is Deshaun Watson, but such a brutal start to his

456
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: schedule early on this season, and I actually do not

457
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: have him ranked as a top twelve quarterback this week.

458
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: I had Gardner Minshew ahead of him, So I got

459
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: that one wrong. But I do think there's other options

460
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: that you can go in to get away from de Shawn.

461
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: This week, I would say this I started. I think

462
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: I started Gardner Minshew over Deshaun Watson in the league.

463
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: I was. I was hyped obviously on Minshew mania and

464
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: throwing the fact that I have concerns about Watson, the

465
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: fact that he's been sacked eight times in the first

466
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: couple of games this season, and so far no defense

467
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: has gotten quarterback pressure at a higher rate than the

468
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. That just made me really nervous, so I

469
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: played Minshew. We'll see how much I'm regretting that come

470
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: Sunday evening or Monday morning. I don't know. But not

471
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: a great start, but then again, it looks like the

472
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: options weren't particularly great for me this week. We'll see

473
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: how that plays out. I'm gonna ask you about your

474
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: Bills because they're passing game has been legit through the

475
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: first two weeks. In fact, uh no team has used

476
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: four wide receivers more than the Buffalo Bills through the

477
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: first two weeks of the season. So how do you

478
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: feel about this passing game and what can they do?

479
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: Do you think against this Rams defense? Yeah, I feel

480
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: way better about it than I did even coming into

481
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: the year. Like I was big on Josh Allen for fantasy,

482
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: but the reason was because of what he can do

483
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: with his legs. I did not expect over seven hundred

484
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: passing yards and seven touchdowns in the first two games

485
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: of the season. I don't think there's any way he

486
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: can really live up to what he did last year.

487
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 1: But I do think if he goes out and has

488
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: another solid passing game, you know it gets close to

489
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: three hundred passing yards. Multiple passing touchdowns against a better

490
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: Rams defense, that he'll become even more trustworthy be in fantasy,

491
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: because I think there are still some skeptics out there

492
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: if this is the real Josh Allen and if we

493
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: could trust him. I will say this to though, Marcus.

494
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: It is kind of a revenge game because remember Jalen

495
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: Ramsey had some not so nice things to say about

496
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: Josh Allen when he got drafted. That's right, I forgot

497
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: about that. You're you are absolutely correct. So he's got

498
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: he's got a chance to get some revenge on Jalen Ramsey. Uh,

499
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: you're going back the other way. By the way, this

500
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: is a revenge game for Robert Woods, who was once

501
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: upon a time a Buffalo Bill and and maybe has

502
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: a chance to sort of show his old team what

503
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: they're missing out on. I liked. I like the Bills

504
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: passing game right now, and Josh Allen is doing his

505
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: best to sort of quiet all the haters and doubters

506
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to his ability, especially to throw the

507
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: football deep. We'll see if he can keep that going

508
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: this week. I would say that if you want a

509
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: part of the Bills passing game, though, get it early

510
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: when it when it starts getting colder, when it starts

511
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: getting windier, when the weather starts getting nasty and Buffalo,

512
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: I suspect it's going to be harder for them to

513
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: thro the football. That's when you will see more of

514
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: the running game. That's when you will see more of

515
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: of Devin Singletary and Zack Moss. But right now, while

516
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: the weather is still okay up there, this is the

517
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: time to get on board. And Josh Allen seems to

518
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: be making hey with it. We'll see if he can

519
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: keep it going this week. It is certainly a I

520
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: think a more difficult proposition going against the the Los

521
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. Speaking of passing games, the Cowboys and Seahawks

522
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: face off against one another. They've got two of the

523
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: top quarterbacks in the league with Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson.

524
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: They are both loaded at pass catchers on both sides

525
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: of this thing. The defense on both sides, uh as

526
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: I get so excited that I kicked the camera, they

527
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: get so that they The defense on both sides certainly

528
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: has some deficiencies. This seems great for our fantasy purposes.

529
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: Who would you not start? If anybody in this Dallas

530
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: Seattle game? I would not start the defenses and like

531
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: the maybe Greg Olsen. Like on the Cowboys side of it,

532
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm starting Dec, I'm starting Zeke, I'm starting a Mark

533
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: Cooper and Ceedee Lamb. I think Michael Gallup should be

534
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: trusted again one more week. And I'm even starting Dalton

535
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: Schultz where I was able to get him. And for

536
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, you know it's Russ Carson, Lockett Metcalf because

537
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: now at four fifty passing yards per game, it is

538
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: just such a huge number. And both of their games

539
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: have been very high scoring. I I we saw the

540
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: Cowboys last week have a very high scoring matchup. I

541
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: think that this game is going to be the highest

542
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: of the weekend. It's at least the favorite two pieces.

543
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: So right now, I would say, and so much fantasy

544
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: goodness coming out of this game, I would start basically everyone.

545
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: I I completely agree, this is one. This is what

546
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: I consider to be a fantasy gold mine. Right everything

547
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: is here. You mentioned Michael Gallup. He is sort of

548
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: the one guy that I think people are starting to

549
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: be concerned about because he hasn't had a great game

550
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: so far this season. But this is an opportunity to

551
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: put him back in your lineup to trust him, to

552
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: give him one more shot. Now, if things don't happen

553
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: for Michael Gallup this week, then I think you start

554
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: to worry a little bit and and maybe we downgrade

555
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: him and put him back on the bench on a

556
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: more consistent basis. But this feels like an opportunity because

557
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have been giving up yards and points to

558
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: everybody this year, that Michael Gallup can sort of go off.

559
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: The other wide receivers were not so worried about the

560
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: running backs. We're not too worried about I gotta ask

561
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: you Chris Carson. I mean, he hasn't had a huge

562
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: yardage game, but he's still scoring fantasy points because he's

563
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: getting in the end zone and he's catching the football.

564
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this look, maybe it's not the way we

565
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: wanted to be, but Florial things seem to be working

566
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: out for Chris Carson right now. Yeah. Carson is someone

567
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: that I have a good amount of on my fantasy

568
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: rosters because I thought that he was just a little

569
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: bit undervalued in drafts and so far, like you said, Marcus,

570
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: like it's not the huge yardage game, not even the

571
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: huge like carries yet. But they're throwing him the ball more,

572
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: and he is the back that they are trusting near

573
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: the goal line. I think you just continue to ride

574
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: it out with Chris Carson, especially this week when he

575
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: could once again be racking up some catches because it's

576
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna be such a high scoring game. Absolutely a game

577
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: to watch this week, which reminds me that you can

578
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: stream live local and prime time games for free on

579
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: your phone and tablet by downloading the NFL app or

580
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: the Yahoo Sports Act. Check that out, and hey, if

581
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: you have to go out of a house for whatever reason,

582
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: you can go keep up with those games on your phone.

583
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: How much longer do we wait for the Lions running

584
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: backs to kind of get themselves sorted out? Nobody has

585
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: really asserted themselves in that backfield. DeAndre Swift has not

586
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: given us much of anything to hold onto. Uh, you

587
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: know this seems to be on paper. I don't know

588
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: how great of a matchup it is against the Arizona Cardinals,

589
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: But when do we start to lose patients with these

590
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: guys back here? Right now? I am not starting any

591
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 1: of those lines running backs. I I really have no

592
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: interest in Adrian Peterson. I've already cut carrie On Johnson

593
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: from some of my teams. DeAndre Swift, though, is the

594
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: one that I continued to hold onto. He he hasn't

595
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: given us a whole lot yet, like you said, Marcus,

596
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: but he does lead them in snaps this year, he

597
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: leaves them in targets. He's the goal line back for them,

598
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: it looks like, and he scored double digit Fantasy points

599
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: both weeks and has the most Fantasy points of the

600
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: lines back. So I do think more opportunity is going

601
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: to come his way, especially like if the lines go

602
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: out and lose to the Cardinals this week. They're sitting

603
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: at oh and three. What do you get out of

604
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: giving Adrian Peterson the ball? Nothing Like what do you

605
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: get out of giving carry On Johnson the ball? We

606
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: know who he is. I think then they may have

607
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: some more incentive to get Swift more involved. I am

608
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: thinking that if we hit a decent DeAndre Swift game,

609
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: it comes this week, and I'm I'm basing that just

610
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: sort of on what I predict the game script to

611
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: be here. The Cardinals are putting up points in bunches

612
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: this season. Kyler Murray is is clicking and has everything

613
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: humming in this offense, And I know, this just seems

614
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: like a game where the Lions will be playing catchup

615
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: or they will have to at least score a lot

616
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: of points to stay in this game. That tends to

617
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: bode well for Swift. As you mentioned, he is the

618
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: target guy out of that backfield. He's the past catching

619
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: back there, So it seems like a game where he'll

620
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: have to be on the field a lot. There has

621
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: to get him involved a lot in order to stay close.

622
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: So this sort of feels like it's set up for

623
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: him to have a decent game. I'm still waiting for

624
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: the matchup or the situation where he has that huge,

625
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: true breakout game. But it also just feels like, because

626
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: they still want to put Peterson on the field, and

627
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: they still want to put Carrie on Johnson on the field,

628
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna be hard for any of those guys to

629
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: assert themselves. That would be one thing, Florio, if this

630
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: were the Ravens, right, the Ravens can run three or

631
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: four guys out there to run the football and be

632
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: effective and win football games. I just feel like, and

633
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, tell me if I'm wrong, it feels like

634
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: for the Lions, they just gotta pick a guy and

635
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: let that guy, you know, either sink or swim and

636
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: if that doesn't work, then you switch. But I feel like,

637
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, for Matt Patricia, you know this this new

638
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: England Patriots rotational style, things just not gonna work well.

639
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: And what I don't get is like, why did you

640
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: go out and draft DeAndre Swift and then bring in

641
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson and just made like like you're the Lions

642
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: are a team that I think they had some hype

643
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: coming into this year, but realistically they're They're probably still

644
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: looking more long term than they are looking to win,

645
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: like win now in like find out what you have

646
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: in your young kid that you just drafted in the

647
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: second round. Why give the ball to a thirty seven

648
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: year old running back? It makes no sense to me, No,

649
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: none at all. Our last big question of the week,

650
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: Eddie mentioned at the start of the show the Kansas

651
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: City Baltimore game on Monday night, a fantastic way to

652
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: wrap up Week three. Patrick Mahomes against Lamar Jackson. I asked,

653
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, which guys in Dallas and Seattle that we

654
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: might possibly sit How worried should we be about all

655
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: of our skill position guys in this guy I know

656
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: they're both great offenses, but they're also both really good defenses.

657
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: How worried should we be about our skill position, guys?

658
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: So when it comes to this, like I have Patrick

659
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: Mahomes outside of my top five quarterbacks, and I caught

660
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: some flak for that on social media. He's might QB

661
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: six this week. I still have Lamar in my top five.

662
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: I think that as good as these defenses are, these

663
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: are probably the two, if not the two best, two

664
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: of the very best offenses in football. They may not

665
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: have their normal like ceiling, but I still think like,

666
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: if you have Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Tyreek Hill, I'll

667
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: even put Marky's Brown in there, Mark Andrews, like Travis Kelsey,

668
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: all of those guys, all of those studs. I'm starting.

669
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: It's the secondary pieces. Like I would after Hill, I

670
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: would not trust any of the Chiefs receivers, and really

671
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: after Andrews and Marcus Brown, I wouldn't trust anyone in

672
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens passing game. And I don't really want to

673
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: play the Ravens running backs really at all right now

674
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: more than a flex. Maybe I still think Clyde Edwards Hilaire,

675
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: though you probably if you have him, you're using him

676
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: as your RB two more than an RB one this week,

677
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: but I still think he has to be in your lineup.

678
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: I think this is a situation where in more traditional

679
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: and you know, re draft leagues, and in traditional leagues,

680
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: you are playing your Chiefs and Ravens because a lot

681
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: of those guys you spent high draft picks on and

682
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: you probably don't have a lot of better options. But

683
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: I think in daily I don't I imagine people are

684
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: going to kind of shy away from them just because

685
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: the matchups are not great. Maybe you ry somebody and

686
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: you hope they hit you, hope that they get somewhere

687
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: close to their ceiling. But this is a week where

688
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: expectations are to be tempered, and maybe this is one

689
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: where your fantasy wise, you just put the phone down

690
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: and you just watch this game and enjoy it for

691
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: what it is. After it's over, maybe you check what

692
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: your fantasy scores are. I feel like this is not

693
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: a week, or this is not a game particularly to

694
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: obsess over what your fantasy production is going to be,

695
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: because it just might not be the video game type

696
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: numbers you're used to seeing from some of these players,

697
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: especially from either one of these quarterbacks. Speaking of the

698
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: weekend and football games and all that stuff, be sure

699
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: to check out me and Floorial alongside Adam Rank and

700
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: Kimmy check Sunday mornings on NFL Fantasy Game Day. We'll

701
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: have all the latest injury news, stop top starts and

702
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: sits and more. You can get us starting at noon

703
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: Eastern in the NFL Fantasy App on NFL dot com

704
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: and on YouTube at YouTube dot com slash NFL Fantasy.

705
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: And it's time for best Value presented by Draft Kings

706
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: when we go through the Draft Kings options this week

707
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: and give you the guys who can give you the

708
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: most bang for your fantasy buckle. Start at the quarterback

709
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: in you know, Florio, Ryan Tannehill is very quietly a

710
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: top ten fantasy quarterback, but it appears that his Draft

711
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: Kings salary has not quite caught up to that reality yet. Yeah,

712
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,959
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone in fantasy is really valuing Ryan

713
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: Tannehill as well as he's played since he's taken over

714
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: as the Titans starter. He is one game with less

715
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: than seventeen fantasy points is the Titans starting quarterback. So

716
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: that's a super safe floor. And I think his ceiling

717
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: is even higher this week against the Vikings defense that

718
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: has allowed the six most passing yards per game. They've

719
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: already allowed five passing touchdowns. That's towards the top of

720
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: the league as well. I think it's a solid matchup

721
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 1: and he sneakily can add some points with his legs

722
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: if they let him. So I think at his draft

723
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: Kings price, he's just a really good value. You know,

724
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: the thing about Ryan Tannehill that hasn't really caught on

725
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: is the whole you know, Ryan Tannehill used to be

726
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: a wide receiver Texas A and M narrative like, it's

727
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: not it is not on the level of the Ryan

728
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick went to Harvard or Jimmy Graham used to play basketball.

729
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: But you know, right Tannehill used to be a wide

730
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: receiver at Texas A and M. So he is he

731
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: is not unfamiliar with running with a football in his hands.

732
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to the well with Baker Mayfield, who,

733
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: like I know, there seems to be a cycle. In fact,

734
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: I saw this on social media. The cycle of Baker is,

735
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, he plays bad, he gets criticized by the media.

736
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: He has the underdog mentality. He beats an inferior opponent

737
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: rinse repeat. So he got to the beats an inferior

738
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: opponent last week after lighting up the Cincinnati bing Bolls.

739
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: But this week, I know that Washington maybe is not

740
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: as bad as they have been in the past, but

741
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: you can still sort of throw the football on it.

742
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: They are very tough to run against with that defensive

743
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: front that they have, but they do have some deficiencies

744
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: in the secondary. We know that the Browns have upgraded

745
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 1: their offensive line. There's more past protection there for Baker

746
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: and Mayfield. This could be a week where Baker goes

747
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: out and has another productive game for the Cleveland Browns

748
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,959
Speaker 1: and for fantasy. I'm not saying that you should sit

749
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: the Nick Chubb or Kareem Hunt in your your traditional leagues,

750
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: because look, I think they're still gonna get the ball.

751
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: But I do have a feeling that Baker Mayfield can

752
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: come through and give you some decent production, especially considering

753
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: his salary. On draft teams this week is his fifty

754
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: seven hundred running backs. We're going with the kids, I mean,

755
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: Joshua Kelly has been a pleasant surprise for us this year,

756
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: even for the people who I think stand for him Floria.

757
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 1: I think that he has he has even exceeded those expectations. Yeah,

758
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: I would completely agree. I mean, he had twenty five

759
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 1: touches in Week two. I was someone who liked Eckler

760
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: and Kelly coming into the year. I did not think

761
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: Kelly was gonna see that kind of volume, especially in

762
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: Week two. But I think this is a great week

763
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: for him. He's playing the Carolina Panthers. That right there

764
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: means start him in fantasy. The Panthers are allowing the

765
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to running back so far this year,

766
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: and it's not really that close. That's after allowing the

767
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: most of the position last year. They allowed Josh Jacobs

768
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: to be the RB one in Week one, they allowed

769
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: the Bucks running backs to combine for almost forty fantasy

770
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: points with both catching both scoring a touchdown. In Week two,

771
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: and the touches near the goal and are going to

772
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: Josh Kelly, So I think that this is a game

773
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: where Kelly could be used to kind of grind out

774
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: the clock Ley and I would not be surprised if

775
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: he scored a touchdown or even two this week. The

776
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: two things that I have learned two of the things

777
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: I have learned one start your running backs against the Panthers.

778
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: In two, Josh Kelly is the new Melvin Gordon. Austin

779
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: Ekeler stays Austin Ekeler, Josh Kelly becomes Melvin Gordon, and

780
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: so maybe we sort of undervalued what his role would

781
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: be in Los Angeles. I'm gonna go with Devin Singletary

782
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: this week, and I'm a guy who likes Devin Singletary.

783
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: I just want the Bills to like him as much

784
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: as I like him, and it seems like it's going

785
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: to happen this week. Zack Moss has been ruled out

786
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: of this week's game against the Rams because of that

787
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: toe injury that popped up during the week, so that

788
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: the Singletary is going to get a whole lot of work.

789
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: The other guys behind him in that Buffalo backfield, t

790
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: J yeld In, Taiwan Jone, maybe they get on the

791
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: field occasionally to give Singletary a break, but it feels

792
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: like this is going to be his backfield in Week three.

793
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: I like the opportunity against the Rams. Run defense has

794
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: been so so to start the year, but I just

795
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: think this is the volume we're going to do that

796
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: we we really really want from him. Hopefully this means

797
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: he gets some look at the goal line, although in

798
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: reality it probably just means that Josh Allen is going

799
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: to run a couple more touchdowns in. But I'm willing

800
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: to take the chance that this is the Devin Singletary

801
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: week we have been waiting for. I'm I'm going to

802
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: ask you, as the Bills fan, am I am I

803
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: crazy for feeling this way? I don't because Alan has

804
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: been throwing to the to the running backs more than

805
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 1: we had anticipated coming into the year, and Zack Moss

806
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: was kind of eating into that a bit. Without him there,

807
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: I think it all goes to Singletary. The big question,

808
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: and I don't have an answer for it is the

809
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: goal on work. Like I think that he should need

810
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: the goal on back. This week, we Moss out, but

811
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: the Bills just never seemed to want to use him

812
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: in that way. They just don't. It frustrates me, but

813
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: we'll see. Maybe it will change this week. Moving on

814
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: to wide receiver. We talked about the Dallas and Seattle games,

815
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: so really not a surprise that you pick one of

816
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 1: the receivers in that one. Yeah, I love Ceedee Lamb

817
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: right now, like I think that he has leap frogged

818
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup as the number two pass catcher in this offense.

819
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: He has seen more targets and gallop in each of

820
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: the first two games, and he has ran the second

821
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: most routes out of the slot, played the most snaps

822
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: of any player out of the slot this year, and

823
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks to allow over four and fifty receiving yards

824
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 1: per game also happened to allow the most fantasy points

825
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: two players lined up in the slot this year. I

826
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: think it is a dream matchup for Ceedee Lamb. I'm

827
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: thinking he catches his first touchdown this week, and I

828
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be better than his first two

829
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 1: games combined, like, not combined, but his first two games.

830
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: I think this is his real breakout. Welcome to the

831
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: NFL game. I kept saying this offseason that Michael Gallup

832
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: was sort of the Jan Brady of fantasy football. He's

833
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: sort of getting overlooked, and I was hoping that maybe

834
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: this would cause him to break out. But no appears

835
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: that really is the case. I mean, it is a

836
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper and it's Ceedee Lamb, and then Michael Galub

837
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: is just sort of like, what am I gonna do?

838
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: So I think this is a week though, to keep

839
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: an eye on him. If it doesn't happen this week,

840
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: I think we really do have to sort of reevaluate

841
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: what we think about him. I'm gonna study in the

842
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: NFC East and I'm gonna go with Darius Slayton with

843
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants. And this has to do

844
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: in so many respects with injuries. I like Slayton and

845
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: I think he and Daniel Jones worked well together. But

846
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepard just went on injured reserve. We know se

847
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley is gone for the rest of the year. Uh,

848
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: you know, you hope Evan Ingram steps up. But the

849
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: Giants are going to need playmakers and Edie mentioned it

850
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: at the top of the show. They are going to

851
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: be more past heavy probably this week. Is they still

852
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 1: try to figure out their running game, having just brought

853
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: in Devonte Freeman. On the flip side, I know that

854
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: we tend to avoid the forty Niners defense, but they've

855
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: lost a lot upfront with their pass rush and having

856
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: guys injured like Nick Bosa being out now. Richard Sherman

857
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: is on injured reserves. That takes a big chunk out

858
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: of their second areas. So the Niner defense is still good,

859
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: maybe not though as good as it would normally be

860
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: if it were at full strength. So I think Darius

861
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: Slayton sees a lot of work and very quietly could

862
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: have a nice game against forty Alright, Marcus too, I

863
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: was gonna say to that point, Evan, the Niners have

864
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: allowed one catch to tight ends this year or so

865
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: if they can take out Evan Ingram, it's even more

866
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 1: work for Darius, even more work for Slayton. Uh. Speaking

867
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 1: of tight ends, you talked about Dalton Schaltz and starting

868
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: him in as many places as you could draft Kings.

869
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: Looks like one of those places. Huh. Yeah. I think

870
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: he's a good value. I mean, he came kind of

871
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: out of nowhere in Week two and led this team

872
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: with ten targets, and we keep talking about this game

873
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: between the Cowboys and the Seahawks and how we're expecting

874
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: a lot of points and a lot of yardage. If

875
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: he gets anywhere close to ten targets, he can do

876
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: a lot of damage with them. So I'm just, you know,

877
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: really loving this game and hoping that he sees close

878
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: to the similar volume than he got last week. Uh.

879
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: Seeing what Dalton Schultz has done and as week plus, uh,

880
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: you pour a little out for Blake Darwin because this

881
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: would have been his opportunity, right for all of us.

882
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: And look, Adam Rank was chief among us when it

883
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: came to hyping up Blake Darwin. This year. You look

884
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: at what Schultz is doing and you think, Wow, Blake

885
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 1: Jarwin really was set up for a huge season. Unfortunately

886
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: for him, it's not gonna happen. But if you got

887
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: Shultz here was a chance to sort of take advantage

888
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: of it. I'm gonna Logan Thomas here with the Washington

889
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: football team taking on to Cleveland Browns. The Browns have

890
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: struggled against the tight end position in the first two

891
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, and for as much as we

892
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: talk about Terry McLaurin, understandably so, Logan Thomas has an

893
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: equal target share through the first couple of weeks. They

894
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: are looking for him in this offense. They are in

895
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: need of pass catchers there right. They need guys who

896
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: can get down the field and catch the football. Logan

897
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: Thomas it appears to be one of them. So I

898
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: think that he's going to have a really good week

899
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: against Cleveland, and I think with the drafting salary being

900
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: a thirty seven hundred, you can go and spend in

901
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: other places. Still slide in Logan Thomas and Hope for

902
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 1: a pretty good target share. Finally, the defenses, and you're

903
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: going with Arizona. Not a surprise picking on the Detroit

904
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: offense right now. Yeah, the Detroit offense just it It

905
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: really isn't clicking. Matt Stafford has been a big disappointment

906
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: for the first two weeks, so is Marvin Jones. So

907
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: it's all those running backs. So I know they may

908
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: get Kenny Golladay back this week, but he could see

909
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: a lot of Patrick Peterson. And the lines are just

910
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: in the top five and fantasy points allowed to defenses,

911
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: I think it's just a matchup where I know they cost,

912
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: you know, I mean not a whole lot. They're not

913
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: a super cheap defense, but I think it's worth paying

914
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: up a little bit and just picking on a bad

915
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: offense right now. Well, speaking of sort of paying up

916
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: a little bit, I'm going with the Buccaneers, who are

917
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: even a little bit pricier than the Cardinals this week.

918
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 1: I think Tampa Bay. Their defense has been pretty good

919
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: so far this season. They have been put in some

920
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: bad situations on occasion, but this is not a defense

921
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: that you can sort of pick on anymore the way

922
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: we did in the past. So I like their opportunity

923
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: this week. I think it's worth sort of maybe spending

924
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: a little bit more on a defense to get that

925
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: the central production, especially against a Denver team that is

926
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: dealing with a lot of injuries. We know no Drew Lock,

927
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: we know we know Courtland Sutton for the rest of

928
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 1: the year, so I think that that it's gonna be

929
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: a good opportunity to get them in real quick. Though,

930
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: before we hit the bread, George Kittle has been ruled

931
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: out this week, so we know that he's not gonna

932
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: be available. We talked about Jerick McKinnon and him as

933
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: a pass catcher, but as we talked about tight ends

934
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,479
Speaker 1: just a moment ago, Jordan Reid looked really good last week.

935
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: Would you give him a shot in daily's or even

936
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: in deeper fantasy leagues if you need a tight end? Yeah,

937
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: I think so, because again, someone is going to have

938
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: to step up for this this Niners passing offense. I

939
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: would have read below both of the tight ends that

940
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: we just talked about, because I really like your logan

941
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: Thomas call as well. Um, but I do think Jordan

942
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: Reid is in play if those guys have already been

943
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: picked up, just something to keep an eye on. I

944
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: I advocated a couple of weeks ago maybe picking him up.

945
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: I didn't think he would be getting as much opportunity

946
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: as he has. But if you were able to go

947
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: get him, or if you were really hurting for a

948
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,479
Speaker 1: tight end, I'm sure he's available in plenty of fantasy lads,

949
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: let's find the best of the pack presented by a

950
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,720
Speaker 1: Panini Trading Cards. Every week we go through three three players,

951
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: three cards in a pack of trading cards and get

952
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 1: the best players we can find, and we talk about

953
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: what their prognosis might be for the weekends. We will

954
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: start without a feeling another Minnesota Vikings and you know,

955
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: Week one looks pretty good for Adam feeling, Week two

956
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: not so much. Kirk kirk Cousins really really struggled in

957
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: that week too game for Minnesota. So because of what

958
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: we saw from Kirk Cousins, how worried should we be

959
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: about this Vikings passing game and feeling in particular, I'm

960
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: worried about everyone but Adam Feeling and Dalvin Cook on

961
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: this Vikings team. Like Adam Feeling coming into Week three

962
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: was still seeing fifty three percent of the air yards

963
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, that was the highest mark in the NFL.

964
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: Still averaging eight targets per game. That's enough volume I

965
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: think where he can live up to, you know, be

966
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one most weeks. I do not know

967
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: what is going on with Kirk Cousins right now, and

968
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: last week was awful to see. But we saw the

969
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: other side of that coin in Week one, like they

970
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: were trailing late in Adam Dealing just eight because they

971
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: were just heaving the ball down field to him. So

972
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm not worrying too much yet about Adam Dealing, But

973
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: the rest of that Vikings offense I'm completely out on. Yeah.

974
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: I you know, I went into the offseason or this

975
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: draft season saying that I thought Justin Jefferson was going

976
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: to be the top rookie wide receiver and fantasy that

977
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: looks like it's completely out the window. At this point.

978
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: Adam Feeland is going to get the bulk of the targets,

979
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 1: and with the Vikings defense not being so great. They

980
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: could be on a lot of high scoring games. It

981
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: could be in a situation where they have to play

982
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: from behind, So that volume alone should sort of keep

983
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: Feeland's fantasy production afloat. Even if Kirk Cousins does not

984
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: play well for most of the season, garbage points still

985
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 1: count and Adam Feeland might end up being one of

986
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: the Kings of garbage time of things continue this way

987
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: all right? Oh though Beckham Jr. He's the next guy

988
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: up in our best of the Back segment this week

989
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 1: Week two, Oh b J got in the end zone

990
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 1: all of fantasy twitters saying hallelujah, and we kind of

991
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: pat ourselves on the back and said, hey, maybe we

992
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: were too soon to panic on O b J. But

993
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: really have fewer catchers in a week two than he

994
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: did in Week one? Was this truly the start of

995
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: something big or did they just take advantage of a

996
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,720
Speaker 1: bad defense? I hope it is the start of something

997
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: big for him. I think it can be, But I'm

998
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: not like, I don't have a bunch of confidence in

999
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: that prediction or anything. Because we've seen flashes of Odell

1000
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: last year. He's flashed multiple times. We know how talented

1001
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: he is. My concern isn't really about Odell. My concern

1002
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: is more with Baker Mayfield and this Brown's offense. I

1003
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: think they want to be a heavy run attack, at

1004
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: least early in games that they're able to end. Because

1005
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: of that, I think he will be a little bit

1006
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: up and down this year, but I think he's still

1007
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: a high end wide receiver too. I think so too.

1008
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: This is a different though, from a few years ago

1009
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: when he was a locked in for real, elite fantasy

1010
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver. That has changed since he has gotten to Cleveland.

1011
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier than I like Baker Mayfield's opportunity against

1012
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: Washington this week and a chance and maybe do some

1013
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: things against his secondary that hopefully involves getting Odell Beckham Jr.

1014
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: Involved in this whole thing. But I'm sort of with you.

1015
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a lot more volatile

1016
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: week to week, especially just because of the number of

1017
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: guys that can catch the football there. Jarvis Landry, Kareem Hunt,

1018
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: even Nick Chubb, Austin Hooper, David and Joke Wu won't

1019
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: be gone forever. There are guys who can catch the

1020
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: football there, and that is going to have a big

1021
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: impact on what O b j can be on the

1022
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: week two week basis, so you just have to sort

1023
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: of prepare for that volatility. The third in the pack,

1024
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: well's Julio Jones. You're not seeing him because you're not

1025
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: seeing him at practice. He's really been dealing with a

1026
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. He is a game time decision for the

1027
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: Falcons this week in their game against the Chicago Bears.

1028
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: But before we do about this issue, people were starting

1029
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: to panic on Julio because he had a bad week too. So, Florio,

1030
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: what do you say to people who were a little

1031
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 1: bit concerned about Julio Jones right now? I'd pull like

1032
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: an Aaron Rodgers and say relax, Like Julio Jones went

1033
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 1: for not for a hundred and fifty yards nine catches

1034
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty yards in week one, Like we weren't

1035
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 1: worrying even in the slightest about him after week one.

1036
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: So this is who Julio Jones is. Though he's an

1037
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: absolute elite wide receiver, one of the best in the game,

1038
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: but he is going to have some huge blow up

1039
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 1: weeks and then he's gonna have some weeks where you're

1040
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: just left scratching your head. This has been who he

1041
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: has been for years. The only I guess slight concern

1042
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: with him is Calvin Ridley looks like a legitimate breakout

1043
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers, so maybe he lowers Julio's value just a

1044
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 1: little bit. But Julio Jones is still going to be

1045
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one in my opinion. When all of

1046
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: a said and done, we have this conversation every year.

1047
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: It feels right like Julio has like a game where

1048
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 1: he only gets you like thirty receiving yards, and everybody's

1049
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 1: sort of panics, like what do I do with Julio?

1050
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: Do I trade him? Do I drop him? What am

1051
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: I gonna do? And like you don't do anything, like

1052
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: there's a recent This guy every year gets drafted, like

1053
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, late first early second round, and every year

1054
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna get like about a hundred catches,

1055
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna get about fourteen hundred yards. That's fine, that's

1056
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: what we will from Julio. So he had a bad

1057
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: game in Week two, don't panic. As long as he's healthy.

1058
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: You're in a role with Julio Jones. Now, you just

1059
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: keep an eye on the injury reports as we get

1060
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: to Sunday, and we'll see what happens when the inactives

1061
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 1: come out. But when you have a healthy Julio Jones,

1062
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: you really don't have anything to worry about. Inspired by

1069
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: we asked our Matt o'conta about quarterbacks who run. This

1070
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: is what he had for us, Welcome back. Rushing quarterbacks

1071
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: mean fantasy goodness none more than these five names. Here

1072
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: are the top quarterback fantasy seasons of the last two

1073
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: decades based on rushing stats alone. Number five, we've got

1074
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: offensive Rookie of the Year Robert Griffin the third. In

1075
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve, RG three rocketed into the NFL with

1076
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 1: eight hundred fifteen yards and seven touchdowns for a total

1077
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 1: of one three point five fantasy points on the ground alone.

1078
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: Did I mentioned he was a rookie? And number four

1079
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: is former Panther now Patriot Cam Newton in his MVP campaign.

1080
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: Newton led all quarterbacks in fantasy scoring that season, thanks

1081
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: in no small part to six hundred and thirty six

1082
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: yards and ten touchdowns of the rushing variety, good for

1083
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty three point six Fantasy points, a

1084
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: tenth of a point ahead of Griffin. Blazing into the

1085
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: number three spot is the guy who made running QBS cool,

1086
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: Michael Vick In two thousand two. Vick ran for seven

1087
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven yards at eight t ds. Is

1088
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: a second year pro, and as a hundred and twenty

1089
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: six fantasy points as a runner boosted him to the

1090
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: QB three that season. Coming in second is a man

1091
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: making his second appearance on our list. Am Newton said

1092
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: the single season rushing touchdown record for quarterbacks with his

1093
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: fourteen scores as a rookie inn he combined that feet

1094
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: with seven hundred and six yards for a total of

1095
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty five fantasy points with his feet

1096
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: and a QB three finish that year. And finally, the

1097
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: man you've probably all been waiting for at number one,

1098
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: who else but Lamar Jackson in Jackson said the single

1099
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: season rushing yards record for qbs with one thousand, two

1100
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: hundred and six and added seven touchdowns to finish with

1101
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: a cool one hundred fifty nine rushing fantasy points and

1102
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: the top spot in Fantasy We'll see brings a new

1103
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: memoir to the list, like Kyler Murray or whether Cam

1104
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: can make it a three feet Until then, this has

1105
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: been ask a nerd and made the fantasy points be

1106
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: with you. Oh, our own mustache here on the Fantasy

1107
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: Football Show brings it each and every week. So far,

1108
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: we have not had a bad performance from our own

1109
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 1: mustache guy, Matt o'conna. He mentioned Kyler Murray there in

1110
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: that one, and through two weeks, Floryal Kyler is on

1111
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: pace to break Lamar Jackson single season quarterback rushing record.

1112
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: I know, you know on pace stats are fun to

1113
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: talk about. Rarely do they come through. But with what

1114
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: you've seen, does Kyler have a legit shot at the

1115
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,919
Speaker 1: record this year? Does he have a legit shot? I

1116
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: think so? Will he do it? No? I mean, he

1117
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: has the ability to put up a rushing season like

1118
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: they did last year, But I think that we're gonna

1119
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: see more passing coming out of Kyler Murray. He's yet

1120
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: to throw multiple passing touchdowns in the game this year.

1121
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: So but what I'm hoping markets is that this becomes

1122
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: more and more common, right like that we see quarterbacks

1123
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: just putting up big time rushing numbers, not just you know,

1124
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,760
Speaker 1: doing it when no one's open, like design runs and everything,

1125
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: because it is so hard to stop some of these

1126
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: rushing quarterbacks. Yeah, absolutely, I mean, because what it does

1127
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: is it forces the defense to actually play eleven on eleven.

1128
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: When you have a guy who stands back there in

1129
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: the pocket and doesn't move, you're playing eleven on ten defensively,

1130
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: you have that advantage. Now suddenly you've got a guy

1131
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 1: that can move, You've got to pay attention to him.

1132
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: Is what I think may Patrick Mahomes even more dangerous

1133
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year because he started to run

1134
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: the football and so suddenly, uh, if you're at defensive back,

1135
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: it's hard you have to turn your back to kind

1136
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: of chase those wide receivers, and in the meantime, that

1137
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: gives Mahomes the ability to take off and run down

1138
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: the field with the football. Now you look last year

1139
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: at the top ten fantasy quarterbacks, and seven of those

1140
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: ten had at least two hundred and fifty rushing yards.

1141
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: So that kind of says that you do have to

1142
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: run in order to be a good fantasy quarterback, a

1143
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: productive fantasy quarterback, but it is not impossible. Who do

1144
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: you think are some of the quote unquote non rushing

1145
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 1: qbs that could end up in the top ten this year? Yeah,

1146
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: if you can't run, I likely do not want you

1147
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: on my fantasy roster. But there's some expect exceptions, And

1148
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: one I think is Matt Ryan, Like we're already seeing

1149
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: the big time passing volume that he's gonna give us

1150
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: each week. He's probably gonna be trailing often this year.

1151
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: And the other I think is Aaron Rodgers because he

1152
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: seems to be on this revenge tour that Adam Rank

1153
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: has you know, been hyping up before anyone, So lots

1154
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: of credits to him, but he's throwing the ball a

1155
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: lot to this year. If you're not running the ball,

1156
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 1: you need to have a lot of past attempts and

1157
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 1: a high touchdown percentage. So like maybe Big Ben can

1158
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: also fit that bill, but there's not a lot of

1159
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: non rushing quarterbacks I think that could finish top ten. Yeah,

1160
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 1: you mentioned too that I think could do anythink Matt

1161
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: Ryan and Aaron Rodgers the top of the list. Yeah,

1162
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 1: it's not too late for being to turn it around.

1163
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 1: Although his his passing numbers have been sort of met

1164
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks of the season, it hasn't

1165
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: been what I thought it would be coming out. Maybe

1166
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: just you know, he needs some sort of time to

1167
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: to kind of get back into things, but that could

1168
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 1: certainly happen. But Rogers and Ryan I think are legit.

1169
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 1: But otherwise, look, you see why the quarterbacks who can

1170
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 1: run are coming off the board first. There's a reason

1171
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: that people were clamoring for Lamar Jackson in the early

1172
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: rounds because, as the fantasy guru Rich Rebar said so

1173
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: many years ago, quarterbacks who run are like a cheap code.

1174
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 1: That's something that you want on your roster in as

1175
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 1: many places as you can get. All Right, that is it.

1176
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: We are done. We appreciate you hanging out with the
