00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show

00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: still masking and socially distancing, win and where necessary. And

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: this is it. This is our last streaming show of

7
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: the year. We were counting. It is an even fifty

8
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: that we have done since the start of the season,

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: and certainly grateful to everybody who has followed along, watched.

10
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: Hopefully we entertained, Hopefully we informed, Hopefully we help. But

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: we're not done. We still have one more show. We

12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: know there's some of you out there who are still

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: playing in season long weeks through weeks seventeen. You know

14
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: there are probably even more of you who may be

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: playing some daily fantasy in week seventeen. So we got

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: some information to sort of help you out. Adam Rank

17
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: will join us as he does normally on Wednesdays. He's

00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: dfs over the weekend, and we'll look ahead and the

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: spoiler alert in case you just don't want to know,

23
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: but we're gonna tell you who the m v P

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: and fantasy is going to be in the season. So

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: we'll do all that and plenty more. But as we

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: always are on Wednesday, joined by the one and only

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: Adam Rank, who is again rocking the spects wich. I

28
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: always appreciate. And we've made it two weeks seventeen. I

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: know there were weeks where it seemed a little bit dubious,

30
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: but we we figured out a way to pull through

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: and and here we are. We have made it to

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: the finish line right now. Yeah, it seems a little

33
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: bizarre because when you think of where we were, like

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: in week one, you're like, yeah, I hope, well, you know,

35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: you're trying to get through it and everything this year,

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: especially because I know a lot of years the seasons

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: can fly by. This one seems like week seven. Week

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: one was like four years ago, Like oh my god,

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: I forgot like that was a thing. And so it's

40
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: good to be at this point and it's going to

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: be moving on. I will say this, and um, I

42
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: started my startom sidem column this this week with this note.

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: If you are playing Week seventeen on purpose because you've

44
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: done it for years, don't don't let anybody tell you

45
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: other otherwise. I don't care. Like, don't block out the noise.

46
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: It's like the people who don't want to let me

47
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: enjoy Wonder Woman eighty four. I don't care. If you

48
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: thought it was stupid, shut up about it. I enjoyed it.

49
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: Don't take it away from me. So if you're one

50
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: of those people that play Week seventeen fantasy, do your thing,

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: man whatever, like I, I prefer not to. And I

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: will say anybody, if you're in a first year fantasy

53
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: league and you've never done fantasy before and this was

54
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: your first four way into fantasy and you found yourself

55
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: in a Week seventeen game, we will tell you why

56
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: we not prefer why we don't prefer it a little

57
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: bit later on in the show. But listen, Week seventeen,

58
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: die hards, do your thing. I enjoyed women Wonder Woman

59
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: eighty four. Um, you know right, I thought it was good.

60
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: Like I'm not gonna sit here and pretendit a perfect movie,

61
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: but very few things are. I mean, besides, like you know,

62
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, pulp fiction and like the room, but you know, beyond,

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good time. So I don't

64
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: really understand where all the haters are coming from other

65
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: than I think I think we just reflexively I like

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: to dump on DC movies, but I thought this was

67
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: a good one. No, no, no, because it because you

68
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: know what, like Marvel movies are the nickelback of comic

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: book movies. They're poppy and fun and nobody nobody curses

70
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: in Samuel L. Jackson can't have a sick like Nick

71
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: Fury is known for having a cigar. If you ever

72
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: see Nick Fury with a cigar in a Marvel movie,

73
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: you have not remember that. I never thought about that.

74
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I I enjoyed Wonderman four. I thought

75
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: it was perfectly fun. Um my last point on that,

76
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: I know we're off on a tangent. That's what we

77
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: do on this show, but I feel like, I feel

78
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: like if it separates the line between superhero movies and

79
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: comic book movies, and I thought it was a great

80
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: comic book movie. Um, you know, so it was fun.

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: That's enough of that, all right, Let's get into a

82
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: few fantasy headlines as we start off our final show

83
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: of the season, the first one A bit of sad news.

84
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is not with the Vikings right now. He

85
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: headed home because of the death of his father. Will

86
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: not be available for the Vikings for their Week seventeen

87
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: contest against the Detroit Lions. First and foremost, UH, condolences

88
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: to Dalvin Cook, with best wishes and thoughts and prayers

89
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: out to his family as they deal with that. Now

90
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: the always awkward pivot back to fantasy, because that is

91
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: what we do. No Dalvin Cook this week against a

92
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: Lions defense that has struggled all year long. Uh. Is

93
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: it as simple as you know, if you're playing in

94
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: a DFS, if you're playing a DFS lineup, or if

95
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: if you're playing in in season long leads, UH, just

96
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: make the pivot to Alexander Madison and or Mike Boone

97
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: this week? Is it just that easy? I think it

98
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: would be. And again I I want to echo the

99
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: year sentiments to you know, having been in that situation

100
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: as as well knowing what Dalvin Cook is going through,

101
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: so we wish him the very best. And I know

102
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: that people, this is the way your mind works. Now

103
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: you want to know, But yeah, I guess it's an

104
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: easy pivot and that I just want to leave it

105
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: at that like that, however you want to feel about life,

106
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: do your thing, it would be an easy pivot. If

107
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: that is the answer that I have to give. Yes,

108
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: that's that's enough of that. Um, Jalen Hurts is gonna

109
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: get the start in week seventeen for the Philadelphia Eagles.

110
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: I don't know why this was uh surprising. I needed

111
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: to be announced. I woke up. I don't know about

112
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: your rank. I woke up on Monday morning and I'm

113
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: scrolling through Twitter and I'm seeing people talk about Nate

114
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 1: Sudfeld possibly getting the start for the Eagles, and I'm thinking,

115
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: is it because Jalen Hurts had a not great second half?

116
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't. I don't understand why they would

117
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: be having this conversation. I know he wasn't lights out

118
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys the way he had been the previous

119
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: two weeks. So he's getting to start against Washington. I'm

120
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: not surprised, but the question is, are we back on

121
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,119
Speaker 1: the bandwagon after sort of being disappointed last week? Okay,

122
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that it's it's noted that

123
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: I've always been on the bandwagon. It is. I've always

124
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: been a Jalen Hurts guy, and I wanted the Bears

125
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: to draft him. You can go through my Instagram feed

126
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: and find the thing where I'm advocating the Bears take him.

127
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: So I've always been on the bandwagon. I will continue

128
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: to remain on the bandwagon. Two things from this game

129
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: that I want people to note is it wasn't as

130
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: bad as a lot of people thought it was. You know,

131
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: looking back in hindsight, obviously if you started him over

132
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady or Josh Allen, you're probably hating yourself right now.

133
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: But like his knees were down on that fumble, which

134
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: there was a couple of things that I don't know

135
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: if we'll get a chance to talk to Al river

136
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Roun this summer, Like number one, his knees were down.

137
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: How did you not see that? Number two? I thought

138
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: when a quarterback started going to the ground, he was down. Anyways,

139
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: like started to give himself up. Why is that the

140
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: place dead? It's where he starts his die first slide?

141
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: I want I want an explanation here. I don't have

142
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: an explanation. I just know that right now, my kid

143
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: is upset about it, and it's trashing all of his

144
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: legos as he thinks about what he did in terms

145
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: of starting Jalen Hurts. Uh last week, I don't really

146
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: get it. I thought he was down. I think everybody

147
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: watched that game thought he was down. And if he

148
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: doesn't fumble, it's a twenty point game, which again, I

149
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: know it doesn't beat out you know, Tom Brady or

150
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: or Josh Allen. Um, but maybe you feel better about it.

151
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um, he probably drives in for a score.

152
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: That's that's a good point too. Yeah, if he maybe

153
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: he throws a touchdown. Maybe better yet he runs a touchdown,

154
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: And you're talking about a completely different set of circumstances

155
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: for Jalen Hurts and that one. I mean, I don't

156
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: know if I necessarily would would throw him in a

157
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: daily lineup this week against Washington because you know, their

158
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: defense is really good and they have a lot to

159
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: play for. I mean, you know they win, They can

160
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs with a win, so they have

161
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: a lot to play for. So maybe I would avoid

162
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts this week. Um. And I feel like the

163
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: future is bright for him. The ceiling is high, going forward,

164
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens with him. Uh. The Rams

165
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: are in a must win game this week against the Cardinals,

166
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: fighting for their playoff lives, and they are gonna do

167
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: it essentially with sort of one hand tied behind their back,

168
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: at least, you know, figuratively, maybe even literally. I don't

169
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: know if the NFL has put that rule in this week.

170
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but uh no, No. Jared Goff he's

171
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: having thumb surgery, hopes to be back if they make

172
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Uh, Darrell Henderson is out with a high

173
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: ankle sprain. Cooper Cup has been put on the COVID

174
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: nineteen reserve list. They're hoping to get cam Akers back,

175
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: but they're not sure about it. So they're down a

176
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: lot of key pieces in this one. Are there any

177
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: Rams left that you would consider starting? Like, Okay, I guess,

178
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: I guess Robert Woods, Tyler Hidbey, any any of those guys.

179
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: Uh kind of floats your boat this week with so

180
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: many guys missing. Yeah, I mean, if you're in a

181
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: week seventeen championship game, I think Bobby Trees is somebody

182
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: I would feel very confident in, and maybe even going

183
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: with Josh Is because I don't think that losing West

184
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: Coast Trabinsky is the worst thing for this Rams team.

185
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: And as a matter of fact, the Rams are gonna

186
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: come out and win this game. This is one of

187
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: those situations that we see time and time again. The

188
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: Rams have already got their playoff spot already solidified. Sean

189
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: McVeigh is gonna go out and expose how much of

190
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: how much better he is at coaching football then Cliff Kingsbury.

191
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: He's going to go out there and really put on

192
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: an exhibition. And I think having somebody like John Woolford

193
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: will just be able to show how good he is.

194
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when Kyle Shanahan gets those first

195
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: couple of starts with like Nicky Mullins or C. J.

196
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: Bethard or somebody like that, they go out there and

197
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: play really well because nobody has the tape on him,

198
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: and it's just a coach out there able to scheme

199
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: up his guy that he knows so well, and he's

200
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: gonna do it to the Cardinals. And I'm saying this

201
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: is a Bears fan who figures the Bears are gonna

202
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: lose to the Packers, But I don't care. I have

203
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: the most I think that when everybody continues to get

204
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: after the Rams in like, oh they've got no shot,

205
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: that just means they've got the best shot of the

206
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: entire weekend. I know it's gonna be John Wolford that

207
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: probably gets the start, but part of me really wants

208
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: to see Blake Bortle's come in and and lock things

209
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: up for the Rams. I mean, I just think that'd

210
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: be a great story. Um, But whatever I would, I

211
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: would still plug in Robert Wood because I think, if anything,

212
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna find ways to get him the ball. Creatively.

213
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: Maybe if I want to just yolo it, I put

214
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: in Malcolm Brown and hope he gets a couple of

215
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: goal line carries and scores a touchdown because that is

216
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: certainly uh in play this week. But um yeah, I'm

217
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: curiously you know, if John Wolford comes and balls out,

218
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: there's gonna be I think a legitimate argument about what

219
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: happens in the off season with the Ramps quarterback spot. Um,

220
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, I know they're paying off that's whatever. Yeah,

221
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: that's dude, that's happening. Like that is a legitimate thing

222
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: that is going to happen, all right. Last one, you're

223
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph is going to start in Week seventeen for

224
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers against the Cleveland Browns. And this is not

225
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: an injury situation. This is just the Steelers have won

226
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: the division, they are locked into a playoff seed, and

227
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: so Mike Tomlin is going to give Ben Roethlisberger some rest.

228
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: And so we were talking at the top of the

229
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: show about, you know, the wisdom or lacked thereof, potentially

230
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: to play in week seventeen, and this is sort of

231
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: it right here. For for teams that are you know,

232
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: deciding arbitrarily to sit players that impact your fantasy lineup.

233
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: This is not some This is not hollow chest. This

234
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: is not you know, you letting the Wookie win or

235
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: anything like that. Uh, this is you making things that

236
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: necessarily difficult. So this is why I am not a

237
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: proponent of playing Week seventeen. I don't know if you

238
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: have any particular thoughts on that, but I also wanted

239
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: if you believe in any of the Steelers wide receivers

240
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: with maxon Rudolph. Again, it's not my way. I would

241
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: prefer to play in Week sixteen for situations like this,

242
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: But again, if you are a Week seventeen die hard

243
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: like do your thing man, like it's it's all good

244
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: to me. I don't. I don't care the one the

245
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: one Steeler receiver. I do kind of like, though I

246
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: know Deonte Johnson is outperformed everybody, I would rock with Juju.

247
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: I think that he has the most chemistry with Mason

248
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: Rudolph if he can, mean, if anybody gonna have chemistry

249
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: with Mason Rudolph. But I think that Juju would still

250
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: be a pretty decent play this week, and mostly because

251
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: I have him and starts it and I don't want

252
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: to go back and change it. Listen, that's what I know.

253
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm cheasing, but I really do. I was thinking about

254
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: that because I was like, oh, like this is where

255
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: you would want to play the Browns defense obviously, but

256
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, one of these Steelers receivers is gonna

257
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: go off, like I just know it. And even though

258
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: the Deonta Johnson has clearly moved into the number one

259
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: role for the Steelers, I think that Juju is a

260
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: guy that I would go with this week. I I

261
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: have kind of stayed with Juju in part because I

262
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: am a USC homer, but also because uh, he has

263
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: been kind of consistently the most productive. I think we

264
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: all like Deonte Johnson based on his talent um, but

265
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: he has been kind of up and down, especially the

266
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: last few weeks. He's been dealing with the drops, and

267
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin doesn't see all that thrilled about it. When

268
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: everything is right, Deante Johnson is the best receiver on

269
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: this team. But you know, in terms of just actual production,

270
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: look as as Michael left Florio said on this show

271
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, you know, it's one thing

272
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: to look at talent, we're looking at production, and production wise,

273
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: Juju has just been better. And so that's the guy

274
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 1: that I would tend to rock with in this situation,

275
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 1: which really all this means is that James Washington is

276
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: going to go out and have the games. That's that's

277
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: oh gosh, yeah, the Oklahoma state there. Yeah, we're a

278
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: teammates in college. You know, we can run with that

279
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: old narrative again too, So we'll see what. Wait, it

280
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: worked with C. J. Beffort in George k Yeah, that's

281
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: just because George Kittle is a monster. I don't know

282
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: if that James Washington rises quite to that level. H

Speaker 1: for the starts and sits for weeks seventeen season. So

293
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: let's just dive right into a quarterback. Who are your

294
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: starts of the week? Tom Brady? And this was you

295
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: know what? This is one of the things, like I

296
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: know that when we picked people up in the draft,

297
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: we feel very good about ourselves. The analysis that I

298
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: gave after Tom Brady's miserable game against this the New

299
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints is something that I'm gonna look back and

300
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: like I nailed that one because he's been great every

301
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: step of every step of the way since that game.

302
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: And I remember because I had I had Russell Wilson

303
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: in the league, and I just knew that Russell Wilson

304
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: schedule was brutal. I didn't want to start him in

305
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Somebody dropped Brady after that game against the Saints.

306
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: I picked him up. He's had double digit touched or

307
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: double he's had at least two touchdowns, and every game

308
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: since he's had well over three hundred yards and three

309
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: out of his last five. If I believe it is

310
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: it's very good. He's been one of the best quarterbacks

311
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: in the league. And Bruce Arians came out this week

312
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: and said that the Bucks are absolutely going to try

313
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: so we love it. So you start Tom Brady. Also,

314
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: like Justin Herbert this week as well. Number one Anthony

315
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: Lynn is playing. He's coaching for his job. And this

316
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: is perfect Chargers football. Once you've been eliminated, you play

317
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: the best football of your life. And you know what,

318
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna go out this week and face the Chiefs

319
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: who have nothing to play for, and they're gonna beat

320
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and Herbert is gonna throw for four hundred

321
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: yards and Anthony Lynn is gonna keep his job because

322
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna be like, look, they won their last four games,

323
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: like they've got all this momentum. They've got a great

324
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: quarterback let's not switch anything. And then next year they're

325
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: gonna miss the playoffs again and Justin Herbert is gonna

326
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: be in the same position he was this season. Spare

327
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: this young man, send him somewhere, like I don't know where,

328
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: I don't know who else needs a quarterback, but let

329
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert free, Like bring Justin Herbert. I'm already bummed.

330
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: But we're gonna be looking back on his career someday

331
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: and be like, that sucks that he played for the

332
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: Chargers all those years, never went to the playoffs, and

333
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: he's thrown for ninety thousand yards. But you know what,

334
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: because every because every year, so when their last five

335
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: and save Anthony Anthony Lynne will have as much tenure

336
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: as Bill Belichick, because so when their last five games

337
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: of the season every year, But but so then start

338
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. I guess I could have just summed it

339
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: up that with that. Sorry, I got carried away. I

340
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: love that he hasn't have been played a full season

341
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: and we're already doing the free Justin Herbert thing, right,

342
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: and this is this is where we are. By the way,

343
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: he has a weird bookend. I mean it was it

344
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: was against the Chiefs where he made his first start

345
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: this season where he had to you know, he had

346
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: to jump in because Tyrod Taylor wasn't available, and then

347
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: he ended up in through for three hundred yards and

348
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: had twenty two fantasy points. Were like, hey, maybe this

349
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: guy could be something like how you glossed over wasn't available. Um, yeah,

350
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: you know, there were a whole series of events that

351
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: we don't really need to get into right now that

352
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: were they were beyond Tyrod's control. Let's just say that,

353
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: all right, they were beyond his control. Oh, running back,

354
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: get back on track, where we start getting running back?

355
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: This week, I'm gonna go with Melvin Gordon, player that

356
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: I've been trying to get rid of all year, Like

357
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: him and David Johnson were two guys that I was

358
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: not enthused about having on either one of my rosters,

359
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: and they've come through. They've been very clutch. And the

360
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 1: one thing that I love about Melvin this week is

361
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: his matchup against the Raiders. We saw what Myles Gaskin

362
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: was able to do. The Raiders team like they're out

363
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, the Broncoes around of the playoffs. It

364
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter to a lot of people, except I

365
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: think Melvin Gordon is gonna go out there and have

366
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: one of again. Just he's been playing great, so I

367
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: don't want to take anything away from He's gonna continue

368
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 1: to have a good game. And let's talk about Jonathan

369
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: Taylor for a moment. Now. This is a fun one

370
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: because we love Jonathan Taylor at the beginning of the

371
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: season and then through some bits and starts were like, oh,

372
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: it was so close. Finally hit that groove down the stretch.

373
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: So people who started him in Week six Team Championships,

374
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: we all benefited. You know, this was huge, This was great.

375
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: God is a title. We love it. But for those

376
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: of you who are playing in week seventeen, the good

377
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: news is the Colts faulded like Philip Rivers. You can

378
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: take Philip Rivers out of the Chargers, you can't take

379
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: the Chargers out of Philip Rivers. And he found a

380
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: way to lose a game when he was up by

381
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: seventeen with a chance to clinch a playoff birth which

382
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: instead gives everybody playing this week the opportunity to get

383
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor into your lineup in a perfect matchup against

384
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. Like that, This would have been a

385
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: game likely where he was on the bench, like they

386
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: would have just been wrestling their starters. It would have

387
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: been great, But Philip Rivers did the job for you.

388
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: Now you get to start Jonathan Taylor this week. Maybe

389
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers plays in a week seventeen championship and just

390
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that he'd have some available to him.

391
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: Who knows, yes, his son is his son? His son

392
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: starting Jonathan Taylor? Who do his kids have on their

393
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: fantasy teams? We should make that a note. We have

394
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: to start looking at that. We have to start examining

395
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: these things. Wide receiver, who are your your starts of

396
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: the week. I'm gonna go with Calvin Ridley, and I

397
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: will say this anytime the fantasy community draws a consensus

398
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: on a player, like with Jalen Hurts last week, go

399
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: the other way. Although I will say the fantasy community

400
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: was lock stop in saying that Calvin Ridley was gonna

401
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: have a huge breakout this season, and he absolutely did,

402
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: even in the absence of Julio Jones. He's been playing

403
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: some great football. Had a great game last week against

404
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. The matchup against the Boxes a little bit tougher,

405
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: but I would start him this week without any hesitation.

406
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: And another receiver that I really like this week is

407
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: Tee Higgins, who normally you look at a matchup against

408
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens and you think, oh, I don't want

409
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: to start him. You know, the Ravens tough defense, but

410
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: over the last month, the Ravens have allowed the fifth

411
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to wide receivers. So te Higgins is

412
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: absolutely a great option this week. And this is gonna

413
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: be a player. I'm not saying that he's going to

414
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: be the Calvin Ridley of this year, who is the

415
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin of the year before, but watch out in

416
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: the off season because I think that we can all agree,

417
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: like Justin, Justin Jefferson the secrets out like he's just

418
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: a great player. I think Tee Higgins is going to

419
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: be that Calvin Ridley type player next season, especially if

420
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: Joey Burrow returns and is ready to go. This is

421
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: such a really good year for for rookie wide receivers.

422
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: I mean, you had headliners were Justin Jefferson, Ceedee Lamb

423
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: without a doubt, but guys like Tee Higgins stepped up

424
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: and played well I mean, there's so many guys that

425
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: have really stepped up. So next year is gonna be

426
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: really really interesting for Higgins and a whole lot of

427
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: other people. All right, tight ends, Uh you know the

428
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: non Travis Kelsey, George Kittle. I guess the division there

429
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: in Waller division? Yeah, yeah, it's three. It's three. Like

430
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: Waller has announced himself, like seth rollins in WrestleMania thirty

431
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: one where he cashed in his money in the bank

432
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: during the brock Lessner and Roman Rains match, Like that's

433
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: Darren Waller now, Like he's joined that club. So those

434
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: three are the most automatic. So I'll talk about Jimmy

435
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: Graham for a moment, because obviously the Bears took a

436
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: lot of heat during the off season for signing Jimmy Graham.

437
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: They already had eight other dudes on the roster. But

438
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: the dirty little secret is is that Jimmy Graham has

439
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 1: played pretty well this year. And I know that this

440
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: is gonna be a tough match for the Bears, and

441
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: nobody has given them a chance. But I think this

442
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: is a good opportunity for Jimmy Graham, who has shown

443
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: quite a knack for getting into the end zone, especially

444
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. Mitch Drabinsky loves him.

445
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean Nick kind of favored Cole comment, but it

446
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: really seems like Mitch Drabinsky loves him. I'm happy to

447
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: go with Jimmy Graham this week, and of course Bob Tunyan,

448
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: who was a disappointment last week. But you guys need

449
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: to back off because this was a waiver wire guy

450
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: that you added during the season. He scored ten touchdowns

451
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: for you. I'm sorry that in Week sixteen it did

452
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: not happen this These are the things that happened with

453
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: these players. But I think that this is a good

454
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: matchup for them. I honestly like, if I can give

455
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: you my honor assessment the way this Bears Packers game

456
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: is gonna go. I really do believe it's gonna be

457
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: high scoring. I do believe the Bears are gonna be

458
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: able to put up some points. I do think that

459
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 1: this is gonna be I mean, they're not gonna get embarrassed.

460
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm already just anticipating like something quirky happening. But I

461
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: really do have a lot of faith that the Bears

462
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: can score some points on this Packers team. Don't let that.

463
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: Don't let the fraudulent Titans scare you off of this. Like,

464
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that this Packers defense is all of

465
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: a sudden good. It's not, and I think the Bears

466
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: will be able to expose that. I have noticed this

467
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: week a theme though, that you have been advocating a

468
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: lot of Packers to start. You have really been very

469
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: praise full of Aaron Rodgers. And you know, I just

470
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: can't help but think that there's a little motivation. But

471
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,239
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, listen, this is it. This has

472
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: been a theme that's happened all year. I was the guy.

473
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: I was, like, I feel, one of the the only

474
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: fantasy enthusiasts out there who really thought that Aaron Rodgers

475
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: was gonna have a great season. And I know, and

476
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: this is one of our friend Patrick Clavon just does

477
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: not believe in players being motivated. I don't know what

478
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: his thing is. I wish we could get him on

479
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: the show because I would love to have. I wanted

480
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: to vote forty minutes of this. Like Patrick, they're human

481
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: beings and there is no player in the NFL who

482
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: was more petty than Aaron Rodgers, which is like for

483
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: an athlete kind of a good thing, like Michael Jordan

484
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: was like that, did you not watch the last dance?

485
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: And like how he would turn any sort of little

486
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: That's when I took it personal. It's like he didn't

487
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: he didn't say hello to you from a from a

488
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: cab three lanes over, like how is how are you

489
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: upset about that? So that is a thing like these

490
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: act like it's it's not great, like you shouldn't do

491
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: that in normal life, but for athletes it works out perfect.

492
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: And I knew that Aaron Rodgers was gonna come out

493
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: and have a great season. I didn't think that the

494
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: defense was gonna hold up there into the Barden, but

495
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: they've been good enough and so they've exceeded the win

496
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: total that I put out for them. But I thought

497
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers was gonna be very good. And every

498
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: time that I've come out and said Aaron Rodgers is

499
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: gonna be good, he's been good. So I'm not I'm

500
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: not trying to be cute. I'm just trying to give

501
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: you the straight dub. I've been pretty close. Like I know,

502
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: it's funny when you do predictions. I have to wonder

503
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: like when people like you know you do a prediction,

504
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: and I'll have a team being like nine and seven

505
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: making the playoffs Like you're wrong. They won twelve games.

506
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, do you watch golf and get upset

507
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: when I don't hit a hole in one every time?

508
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: Like sometimes you just landed on the green And I'm

509
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: gonna have the two putt it for part Like you're fine.

510
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: But I think I've been pretty spot on with the Packers.

511
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: Sorry again, I derailed the show. That's all right, that's

512
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: fair enough. Uh you, I think you were one of

513
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: the few. I think a lot of me were like,

514
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: I know, I was kind of like, uh, Aaron Rodgers

515
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: gonna be read Davante Adams didn't think Aaron Rodgers would

516
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: be super great. But you know, here we are. He

517
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: looks like the old Aaron Rodgers again. And the petty

518
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: party has continued all year. Um, all right, that takes

519
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: us to our stardom. Defenses for the week. Who are

520
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: some defenses you're looking at? Well, I'm gonna look at

521
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because a number one a team

522
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: that is going to be trying very hard or still,

523
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, Bruce arians wants to go out there and win.

524
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan can turn the football, but Matt Ryan's actually

525
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: been playing very well as of late. He has five

526
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: touchdowns and no interceptions. He has put the ball on

527
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: the ground a couple of times, but they recovered it.

528
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: I still will take the Buccaneers in this instance. I

529
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: think this is kind of a good opportunity for them.

530
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: The one team that I really like to play this week, though,

531
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: is the Dallas Cowboys. I think their matchup against the

532
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: New York Giants is perfect. Danty Dimes turns the ball

533
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: over a lot, There's so there's gonna be chances there,

534
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: and of course the Cowboys have something to play for

535
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: their playing to get into the playoffs. I'm sort of pulling,

536
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: and I'm not pulling for him. I was gonna say

537
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: sort of because it's kind of fun. Well, you just

538
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: wanted to be ridiculous, like a ridiculous team. I'm actually

539
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: pulling for the football team because Ron rivera s eighty

540
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: five bear. Yeah. I think he's on the eight six

541
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: team too as well. And Brodie Lee was a huge

542
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: Washington f T fan. So I'm actually pulling for the

543
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: f T. But if you need a defense, you can

544
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: stream those Dallas Cowboys. I do sort of like the

545
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys this week. Um, that might be a tease to

546
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: something that that happens later in the show. But I

547
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: do think that's a good match up just because Daniel

548
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: Jones is a walking turnover machine. So uh, there's a

549
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: good opportunity there for for them to to put up

550
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: some fantasy points. All Right. That was Secure Starts presented

551
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: by Visa. Now because apparently a lot of you out there,

552
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: especially who watched the YouTube, like negativity, we're gonna do

553
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: some sits. We're gonna do with me sits this week.

554
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a few sits. Uh, so we don't

555
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: have to spend a lot of time on them. Who

556
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: was your quarterback that you're avoiding? Well, I'm gonna go

557
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: with Drew Brees. And by the way, can I say

558
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: one thing like during that game with the Vikings, I

559
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: said that Kirk Cousins was the quarterback equivalent of getting

560
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: mittens for Christmas, And apparently people in Minnesota hate mittens

561
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: because they were pissed, like they were so mad, like

562
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: how dare you who's the Bears quarterback? Like, first of all,

563
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: shot up, we're not talking about there's quarterback. Okay, we're

564
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: talking about your quarterback who is the He's like Mittens.

565
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: Mittens are great, They're fine, Like, they're very practical, they're

566
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: very useful. Yeah, they're good, like good, Why why would

567
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: why would I hate Mittens? They're fine, They're not exceptional.

568
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: And I think that was the point that obviously, and

569
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: I understand Viking fans are triggered because their team missed

570
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs as I predicted. Funny, I remember getting added

571
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: so much in June in July about how it was

572
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: an idiot and the Vikings are winning the division, all

573
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: those guys like I haven't seen it well, mostly because

574
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: I muted him, but I can't. I haven't seen haven't

575
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: seen my propers yet. So yeah, so Kirk Cousins is Mittens.

576
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: But it also leads like, well, what is what is

577
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: Drew Brees? Then? Because I was, this is where I'm

578
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: getting at it, Like what is Drewes? I go, Drew

579
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: Brees is like being re gifted an original members only

580
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: jacket from the eighties that was warned by a smoke

581
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: or who also doubted himself in Aqua Velva. That's Drew

582
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: Brees currently, Like he's he's not He was like, yeah,

583
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: he was he was something back in the day. I

584
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: don't want any part of it now, and so I

585
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: look at what he did. It's it really is great

586
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: because Drew Brees, I don't want to like, he's the

587
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: members only jacket. So he's gonna hand the ball off

588
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: to Alvin Camara. This is why for fantasy purposes, we

589
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: want Drew Brees as the quarterback because he's happy to

590
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: give it to Alvin Camaro. Oh that and his kids

591
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: starting like that makes a lot of sense now, so

592
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: his kids starting Alvin Camaro. Taysom Hill's like, no, bro,

593
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm taking that ball and I'm running it, you know.

594
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, if they're gonna ever beat the Packers,

595
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill has to be their quarterback because he'll run

596
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: it down their throats. But anyways, that's a story for

597
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: another day. So I'm not starting Drew Brees. That's one.

598
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: That's my set. Sorry, that was a lot longer than

599
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: I think he wanted it to be. So it's you know,

600
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: it's week seventeen and I'm doing this and I'm gonna

601
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: entertain the heck out of all of you. So this

602
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: is this is what you get. Two things. One I

603
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: would think that if anybody in the country would understand

604
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: the value of mittens, it would be people from Minnesota,

605
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: Like I would think that that's something that they would understand. Uh.

606
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: And to uh that members only jacket that you're describing,

607
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: I just imagine Steve Trevor wearing it in Wonder Woman

608
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: eighty four. Um, oh yeah, I totally can see him

609
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: rocking that in Wonder Woman eighty four. All right, running back, Mike,

610
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: who who is your I almost gave it away. Who's

611
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 1: your running back that you're not starting? Now you can

612
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: say Mike Davis. Okay, you know what, it's been fun

613
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: Like I appreciate everything that Mike Davis was able to

614
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: do this season, and I know that anybody who drafted

615
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey one point oh one, we're disappointed until you know,

616
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks Mike Davis played exceptionally and

617
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: it got to the point to where, like, how much

618
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: how much is Christian McCaffrey gonna suffer when he returns?

619
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: Like apparently not at all? Like Mike Davis is fine.

620
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: He is what he is. He's a limited he's you know,

621
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: he's a good player. He's a good he's an NFL player.

622
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: He's good in a situation, He's a good situational running back,

623
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: but think for the long term it's not gonna work.

624
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is, and I think

625
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: this week I don't like the matchup, so I'm gonna

626
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: have to leave him on the bench. And I appreciate

627
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: everything that he was able to do. I started benching

628
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: him for Jeff Wilson and Miles Gascon at any anyway,

629
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: so it's like it's okay, it worked out. But Mike Davis,

630
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: even even with the lack of running backs going around,

631
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: I think that this is one where I'm gonna try

632
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: to avoid it. Uh don't. Yeah, I mean he's been great,

633
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: but I'm like I think there's better options. I agree.

634
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: I think you know it was it was fun early on,

635
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: fun while it lasted, but I think the novelty has

636
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: sort of worn off on Mike Davis wide receiver. This

637
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: is a name that I really have tried to be

638
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: supportive and be a fan and it just hasn't really

639
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: worked out. So I completely understand sitting this guy. Well,

640
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: he's been inconsistent, like he was fine last week. Of course,

641
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: we're talking about Christian Kirk. He was targeted ten times,

642
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: and it's somebody that really needed a huge game from

643
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Every time they went to Christian Kirk, I'm like, why, like,

644
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: just force it to d hop Like I get it done.

645
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: But again, this matchup this week against the l A.

646
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: Rams is a tough one. This defense has been one

647
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: of the best against receivers this season, if not the best,

648
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: they're they're top three at the very least, depending on

649
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: how the scoring breaks out. And again I go back

650
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: to the fact that I really do believe that this

651
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be the Rams. The Rams are gonna win

652
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: this game. And I know that this is me as

653
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,719
Speaker 1: a Bears fan, projecting it a little bit, but I

654
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: just think that Sean McVeigh just has a thing with

655
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury and he's gonna It's just it's just such

656
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: an ultimate Sean McVeigh move to win a game with

657
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: his backup quarterback. I think the defense will respond. I

658
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: think the defense knows that they have to be the

659
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: ones who step up this week. So that means, obviously,

660
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: you start DeAndre Hopkins, because that's not a player you

661
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: ever sit. But the periphery guys like Christian Kirk, they

662
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: need to take a seat on the bench. I think

663
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: between the two of them, and this is just my

664
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: own personal speculation. I have no no idea this is true.

665
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: But like you're talking about two, you know, two young

666
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: head coaches who were both praised for being you know,

667
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: offensive geniuses. Both your relatively good looking guys who you

668
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: have giant, beautiful homes in major media markets. And so

669
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: I think that there's a little bit of pettiness maybe

670
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: with Sean McVeigh, you just speaking of pettiness, you saying

671
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: that they're relatively attractive, exudes a little bit of pettiness,

672
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: Like Marcus, these guys are younger than us, better looking

673
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: than both of us. Like they're they're handsome, they're they're

674
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: movie star Chris Pine handsome. Like that's let's let's not

675
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: us be petty. Let's just call it the way it is,

676
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: Like they're handsome gentlemen, two young, attractive gentlemen who are

677
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: very good at scheming offenses. Yeah, yeah, I kind of

678
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: don't like them for that. It's like, man, you're too

679
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: handsome for me, Like in a way, like I don't

680
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: want you hanging out with me. You need you need

681
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: your head. You need your head coaches looking like Belichick

682
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: basically like, oh my god, then I feel great about

683
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: myself a bank or something. Yeah, exactly, you're tied in

684
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: to avoid this week? Who is it? I'm gonna say,

685
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper? Who who broke the string? Like the Jets

686
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: had given up a touchdown to a tight end in

687
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: five consecutive games. Here comes Austin Hooper, no available wide

688
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: receivers and you couldn't get into the end zone. This

689
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: greatly disappoints me. The Steelers have been one of the

690
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: toughest teams against tight ends this season. If they're not

691
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: number one, their number two, I know them in the

692
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: Colts were going back and forth. So again, depending on

693
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: the how the scoring breaks out, because I see it

694
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: it's different on different sites. Steelers are tough against tight ends.

695
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: I would look at somebody else. I would look at

696
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: perhaps I know that Tyler Higbee has got a tougher

697
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: matchup because the Cardinals have actually been pretty good against

698
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: tight ends this week or this season. So I would

699
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: look at somebody else, Like if you have Austin Hooper

700
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: and you have somebody who's similar, like, I'm not saying

701
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: to go out and get uh, what is it Steven Alexander,

702
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: who's the tight end for the Chargers? Stephen Dave now

703
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: Steven Alexander, whoever it is, But like, just take some

704
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: caution with Austin Hooper this week, I was just gonna

705
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: fault back to Virgil Greens. I feel like he was

706
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: the tight end there for like decade or whatever. So

707
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: that was that was my first time. That was my

708
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: knee reaction. Steven Anderson is the guy that Steven Anderson,

709
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: that's it? Uh, you know, that's actually not a terrible

710
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: start this week like for dfs and stuff, because like

711
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: the Chiefs give up a lot of product because last

712
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: week I was all in on Hayden Hurst and he

713
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: ended up scored a touchdown and I'm like, yeah, the

714
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs don't guard the tight end for whatever reason. Yeah,

715
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: not so much, which is sort of weird because you

716
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: figure they have practice against, you know, trying to cover

717
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: a really gend. Didn't give it up there, Like, yeah,

718
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: we can't stop not a very tight ended Travis Kelsey guys. Uh,

719
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: and then your defense to avoid this week? Who is that?

720
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I was like I thought, I think

721
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: we're done Panthers. I just don't want to play the

722
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: Panthers valiant effort last week against the ft, but I

723
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: think Matt Rule has done an exceptional job. You know

724
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: what you did, Um, you did great work. You beat Washington.

725
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: It was fun. But now this week, I don't know.

726
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to chase the point or do anything

727
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,479
Speaker 1: like that. So the Panthers, if you're if you're looking

728
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: for a defense this week and you're looking like, oh,

729
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: based on what happened, no, no no, no, go and pick

730
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: up the Browns. I think I'll be better off for it.

731
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: So leave them on the wire there. It is all right.

732
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: If you want more of that, you can go check

733
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: it out for one last time this year at nfl

734
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: dot com Slash Start Sit, it's time for best Value,

735
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: presented by Draft Kings. Every week we try to get

736
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: you the most bang for your fantasy buck for anybody

737
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: playing daily fantasy. This week's we go position by positions,

738
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: So filthy for a value this week, Frank, where are

739
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: you going in Draft Kings? Yeah, I kind of want

740
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: went against the spirit of this exercise because I just

741
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: wanted to say that. But no, like legitimately, any any

742
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: lineup that I'm building I would pay up for Aaron Rodgers,

743
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: and I would probably pay up for Davante Adams and

744
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: then try to fill it out other places. I think

745
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: that again, it's always I understand people are trying to

746
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: be saving some bucks here at the quarterback position because

747
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: it is one that's easier to kind of you can

748
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: lock in on Justin Herbert. But even Justin Herbert is

749
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: not enough of a step down for me. Even the

750
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: guy that you're gonna be talking about, I'm like, no,

751
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: I don't trust it, Like I why would I not

752
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: go with the guy who I know is super petty,

753
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: wants to go out there and throw seven touchdowns against

754
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: this Bears defense. So again, like is the rational human

755
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: being and not trying to take the fanboyness out of

756
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: it and be like this going is terrible, Like he's

757
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: obviously very good, and I think that this is a

758
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: perfect opportunity to where normally we would advocate spend some

759
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: or save some money at this position. I'm saying spend it,

760
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: like spend it like every once in a while, like

761
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: I'm getting together with a couple of buddies in a

762
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. We're gonna go golfing, and they're like

763
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: talking about these dog tracks and I'm like, dude, let's

764
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: I don't play a Royal Tributo, which is like a

765
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: high dollar South Orange County golf course. Like I'll spend

766
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: the money, Like I'm not doing it every week, but

767
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: for this special occasion, I'll do it. And I think

768
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: this is the time. Sometimes value isn't necessarily about saving money.

769
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: It's about getting the most for your money. And I

770
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: think you can make a case that Aaron Rodgers will

771
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: get you the most for for whatever it is. South Wise,

772
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: you gotta spend on him. I'm still gonna be cheap, though.

773
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: I go for the Rivers, uh in his spot going

774
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars, just because this is a big game

775
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: for the Colts. I think there are like five teams

776
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: in the a f C right now, and you know

777
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: about five teams in the a f C. There are

778
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: all ten and five and so uh. The seating for

779
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: those spots four through seven in the a f C

780
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: could change dramatically based on what happens this week, and

781
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: the Coults are very much in the mix, although at

782
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: the moment they are on the outside looking in. But

783
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: the matchup is great. They have a lot to play for,

784
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: so I think Philip Rivers will figure it out. Of course,

785
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: now that I say that, there's going to be at

786
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: least one back breaking, soul crushing interception that he throws

787
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: at some point in the fourth quarter of this game. Whatever, um,

788
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: running back, who's your value pick this week? Well, I

789
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: I apologize because I put in Melvin Gordon, because I

790
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 1: did this when I did my Start SIT list that

791
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 1: comes out on Monday night, actually Tuesday morning at one am,

792
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: and I send it out to a bunch of people.

793
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: Are producer Ryan Bartlett's included on that list. I apologize

794
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: that there's some overlap with my Start and SIT. So

795
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: I said Melvin Gordon for the obvious reasons. The Raiders

796
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: really struggled stopping the run this year. Receivers catching them

797
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: all out of the backfield can be a problem for

798
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: them as well. So I really like Melvin Gordon. And

799
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: to give you a bonus one because I should have

800
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: done a better job of this and making sure that

801
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't repeating myself. It's j D mckissic. I think

802
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: would be kind of fun this week as well. You know,

803
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: somebody again, if I'm paying up for Aaron Rodgers. I

804
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: have to find somebody who's a little bit cheaper, and

805
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: I think of a team and I'm trying to find

806
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: a team that's still playing for something, and I look

807
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: at you know, how well the Cowboys were able to

808
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: pass against um this Eagles defense last week. I think

809
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: that the top receivers though, for you know, Antonio Gibson,

810
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas and JD. McKissick. I know Sims will work

811
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 1: into the mix as well, but I think mkissic would

812
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: be somebody to take a take a flyer on. I

813
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: do like that one I went. I went with Leonard

814
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: four Nett this week because at the time I was

815
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: putting this together, you know, Ronald Jones still on the

816
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: COVID list, still dealing with an injured finger. I know

817
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: it's trending in the right direction for Rodjoe to play

818
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: in this one. So if he does play, then then

819
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: I would certainly probably pivot away from Leonard four Nett

820
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: a little bit and maybe go to a guy like mckissic.

821
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 1: But you know, if there is no Ronald Jones this week,

822
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: as you know you mentioned rank Uh, Bruce Arian says

823
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: they are going to go for it this weekend against

824
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: the Falcons. The matchup is is not great, but I

825
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: think it's good enough that if four Nette gets a

826
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: majority of the touches that he can go out and

827
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: be productive. But like I said, if Ronald Jones ends

828
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: up playing, then I would probably switch this over to

829
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: somebody else, But for now, we're gonna stay with Leonard

830
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: Fournette UH wide receiver. I saw this and I was like,

831
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: I was very intrigued by your value pick at at

832
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Well, this is this is the problem. If

833
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: you want to sit there and stack Aaron Rodgers with

834
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, you gotta go deep at the position. Do

835
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 1: you feel comfortable doing it at? And I think Braxton

836
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: Barrios is somebody that I I don't mind playing at all.

837
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: And I know that it's a little bit of chasing

838
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: the fantasy points because last week he caught a touchdown

839
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: pass from Jamison Crowder. But I'm all so banking on

840
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: the Braxton Burrios. That's right, the former Patriot. And I

841
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: think you know, based on what we saw on Monday

842
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: night that this is now and Miami has been doing

843
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: this as well. It's like, this is this is the

844
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: Scott Farcas episode or the Scott Parks part of the

845
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: of the Patriots Dynasty, where now everybody's coming in and

846
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: taking swings, and the Jets they've already lost out on

847
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: the number one pick. Go for it, go crazy, do

848
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. Sam Donald is gonna be out

849
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: there throwing the rock all over the field. This is

850
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: a value pick. I'm rolling the dice with Braxton Burrios

851
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: and I feel pretty good about it. I definitely like

852
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: that pick. I'm gonna go and you know, I had

853
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers at the quarterback spot if I needed a

854
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: value stack. I think I'm okay with that. So is

855
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: that Pascal is a guy that I'm looking at. We

856
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: have sort of kind of run through the gamut of

857
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: Colts wide receivers a few weeks ago, about a month ago,

858
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: it was it was Michael Pittman. Then we pivoted over

859
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: to t Y Hilton. For the last couple of weeks,

860
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: it's been the Zach Pascal show. He's got three touchdowns

861
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: in his last two games. You see that, fifteen or

862
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: more Fantasy points in back to back games for him.

863
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: So I like him with the value pick. And again

864
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 1: you can sort of stack there and then it still

865
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: needs your room, probably probably for you know, somebody like

866
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: a Davante Adams or somebody big time, maybe at the

867
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: running back spot. If you do that, uh tight end

868
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 1: um again. I like your tight end pick two. I

869
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: think you sort of explained why, but you can explain again.

870
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: And now again I apologize I used them in in

871
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 1: another segment. It's another sponsored segment, so these get clipped

872
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: off and go into two different places. So I do

873
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Graham this week. I do believe that this

874
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: Bears offense has shown like they're one of the top

875
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: scoring offenses over the last month and ever since they

876
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: handed the play calling duties over to Bill Laser, they've

877
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: done a great job of working to Mitch Robinsky strings,

878
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: letting him get outside of the pocket, letting him like,

879
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, improvise a little bit. You know, he makes

880
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: some bad plays, but you know what his legs or

881
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: what made him so good during their playoff run a

882
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. He's finally getting back to that.

883
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: So I like Jimmy Graham this week, and a bonus

884
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: one too, I'll give you if you've been watching the

885
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: whole show. IRV Smith is another guy that I would

886
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: play right right, Like Kyle Rudolph's not playing this week.

887
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: Er Smith should be another one, and he's He's somebody

888
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: that I would look at too. If you can't stack,

889
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: if you can't fit in a Tony in stack with

890
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 1: Adams and Rogers, I would definitely go with either Jimmy

891
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 1: Graham or Irv Smith. Definitely like the Erb Smith pick two. Um.

892
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: I know the hashtag let irv swerve has been sort

893
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: of circulated on Twitter. I've seen it once or twice,

894
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: So yeah, in my mind, it's so in my mind

895
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: is like all over the place, mark like everybody's into this.

896
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: Everybody's doing it, man, are you kidn't also, you know,

897
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: apologize for for recycling names. This isn't that other fantasy

898
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: show we do where we, you know, have to have

899
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: unique names for every single segment. So it's cool. I don't,

900
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: I don't mind. I should pick my my value pick,

901
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: Mike Gasicky. I got all distracted and stuff. Mike Gasicky

902
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: is my value pick at the tight end spot, and

903
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: it's been sort of an up and down the year

904
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: for GASICKI. Although I do really feel like having to

905
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: a tongue of Voloa as the quarterback has been better

906
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: for him as opposed to having Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitz is

907
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: going to sling the ball deep down the field. He's

908
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: gonna get his wide receivers more involved. But to has

909
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: been very good about looking to the tight end and

910
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: has done wonders for him, and so I like him

911
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: this week in you know, what is the kind of

912
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: important game to for the Dolphins, who are finishing out

913
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: another good year. They look like they're well they're not. Actually,

914
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: they're one of the four or the five teams that

915
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: that tended five. I was gonna say they're locked into

916
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: the the five spot in the playoffs, but not necessarily,

917
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens. But I do think Kisicky

918
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: is gonna get some some burn this week. Our defensive

919
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 1: starts at the value for the value or whatever value

920
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: defensive starts. That's what I'm trying to say. Who is yours? Well?

921
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: I was thinking about putting the Cowboys in here because

922
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: we had them in the startom sidhom but once the

923
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: decision was made two sit Ben Roethlisberger this week, I'm

924
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Cleveland Browns. I think that again,

925
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: with a team everything to play for going up against

926
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: a going up against a defense, or going up against

927
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: an offense. It's sitting there starting quarterback. I think he

928
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: got to play them. And so I think that the

929
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: Browns this is a pretty good opportunity. And it is

930
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: weird that you're talking about like the Dolphins, like there's

931
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a ten win team in the a f

932
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: C that does not make the playoffs and then there's

933
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: gonna be like the five wind Cowboys are gonna be

934
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: the division champs of the NFC East. Is so crazy

935
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 1: the way this works. But I think that the Browns

936
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: have a pretty good opportunity this week, and I would

937
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: definitely start. They're better price in the Cowboys. Still, uh,

938
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: they are a better price than the Cowboys, but I'm

939
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: still gonna go with to Cowboys is my value pick.

940
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:42,959
Speaker 1: I sort of talked about it earlier. I mean, Daniel

941
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: Jones has been a turnover machine and that has so

942
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: much to do with it. So I would definitely put

943
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in that situation there. Look, they've actually played

944
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: pretty well defensively the last couple of weeks, or maybe

945
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: it's just because they've played quarterbacks who turned the ball

946
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: over a lot because they took advantage of Nick Mullins

947
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Oh and I think did a

948
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: decent job on Jalen Hurts. So maybe they're figuring it

949
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: out late in the seasons. Uh. That that's probably my

950
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: my biggest rationale for picking the Cowboys in this one.

951
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: All right. That was the best value presented by Draft Kings.

952
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: It's note for best of the pack presented by Panini

953
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: Trading Cards. Every week we break open a pack of cards,

954
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: we find three of them that seem interesting and we

955
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: chat them up. So the first one, it's Antonio Gibson

956
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: running back for Washington football team and obviously had a

957
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: great year. Was was a hype buddy in August as

958
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: we got close to the season, and I would say

959
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: he lived up to it. So the question is did

960
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: he live up to it enough Frank that he is

961
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: going to be a true fantasy RB one one. Yeah,

962
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: I definitely believe so. I think that, you know, until

963
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: that toe injury, he was somebody that was going to

964
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: be carrying people to some fantasy titles. He was, you know,

965
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: a player that I missed out on Mike Davis in

966
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: a lot of spots and didn't have to settle, but

967
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: I had Antonio Davis excuse me, Antonio Gibson on my

968
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: roster and just started using him to great success. And

969
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: now I'm really excited to see the direction that this

970
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: Washington Ft offense is going to go into. You know,

971
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: a lot of it will depend on the quarterback. You know,

972
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: if they bring in a guy who's who's multifaceted, who

973
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: you know he can do a lot of r p

974
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: O s and do things to really take advantage of

975
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: his skill sets, that we have a guy who can

976
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: definitely be kind of a league winner moving forward. I

977
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: know that he kind of I don't know if it's

978
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: if Kenyan Drake's the right type. I think he's a

979
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: better version of Kenyan Drake, and given the opportunity, I

980
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: think that he's going to be somebody that we're looking

981
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: at in the second third round. Maybe I don't know.

982
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to base it on where we were drafting

983
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders and Kenyan Drake this year. But I think

984
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna have that kind of hype this offseason. I

985
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: definitely think so. I mean I felt like at the

986
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: end of draft season this past year, with all the

987
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: hype he's sort of bumped up to about the fifth round,

988
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: I think in a lot of drafts, and so I

989
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: think we've seen h third round easily possibly second round.

990
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 1: It would not surprise me. And I love the fact

991
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: that he really can be on the field for three

992
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: downs if Washington chooses to use him that way. They

993
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: did use J. D. Mckissic a lot of times on

994
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: third down as a pass catcher, but Gibson shown he

995
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: can do that, and he was probably more receiver than

996
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: running back in college at Memphis, and I thought he

997
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: took very well to the running back position. And I

998
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: do think big things are coming and I wouldn't be

999
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: surprised if next year we're talking about him as a

1000
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: top ten or top twelve running back in a lot

1001
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: of leagues. Um, all right, next one, Jerry Judy for

1002
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. Yeah, it has not been. It has

1003
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: not been a great year. Which we talked about the

1004
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: rookie wide receivers and uh, there were expectations for Judy

1005
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,919
Speaker 1: that he didn't, you know, necessarily live up to. There's

1006
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: a I think there's a litany of reasons why he

1007
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: maybe was underwhelming this year. But what do we expect

1008
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 1: next season, is maybe there's some some negative or positive

1009
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 1: regression coming for him next year. Well, yeah, because it

1010
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: is one of the things that you look at some

1011
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 1: of the great white rookie wide receivers that we've seen

1012
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: so far this season, and you kind of want to

1013
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: blame the quarterback. But I go back and I he

1014
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: he made a couple of drops, you know, there were

1015
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: something that were on him, you know, and he's gonna

1016
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: have to improve on. I do think that because of

1017
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: the lack of production this season, that he's gonna end

1018
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: up being a nice value next year that I think

1019
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna stay away from him.

1020
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: We'll see guys like Brandon a Yuk and other players

1021
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: who weren't as terribly as he was coming into the

1022
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: draft get picked ahead of him, but that don't work out.

1023
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: I think that this is gonna be one that I'm

1024
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 1: probably gonna try not to talk about during the offseason.

1025
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put him in any of my mock

1026
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: draft mondays, I'm not gonna hype him up as a

1027
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: breakout candidate. I'm not gonna do any of that stuff.

1028
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: And then every draft I will study the a DP

1029
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: and I will pick him around early just for the upside,

1030
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: because I think that he can be exceptional, and I

1031
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: think that, you know, it'll be interesting to see what

1032
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: that goes offense looks like next season, if they're committed

1033
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: to Drew Lock, if they upgrade the offensive line. It's

1034
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: just really like, this just seems like such a lost

1035
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: year for the Broncos. A team that I had high

1036
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: expectations for never really materialized. And I think that we've

1037
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 1: seen this enough in the NFL that when we sort

1038
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: of hype of team like, oh, the Broncos because they

1039
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: finished strong last year, they pulled the Chargers one their

1040
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: last four games, finished seven and nine, and you know,

1041
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,439
Speaker 1: I was, I was very excited about this team coming

1042
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: into this season. Had some bad injury breaks. Next year

1043
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: might be the year that it comes through and comes together.

1044
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: So I think they it would be, it would be bad,

1045
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: it would be I'm trying to think of the right

1046
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: whatever it don't pass on Jerry Judy. Next year, I

1047
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: think that there's an operation. Don't be burned by what

1048
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: you saw this season. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

1049
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: Know that the talent is there that he can take

1050
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 1: a step forward next year. I thought there were flashes

1051
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: where Jerry Judy showed you know why people were so

1052
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: excited about him in the draft. This year, it didn't

1053
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: you never really put it all together. I'll say this

1054
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,919
Speaker 1: about the Broncos though, when everything's right, I think they've

1055
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: got a really good wide receiver corps. Mean, they'll get

1056
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton back next year, hopefully healthy. They've got Jerry Judy,

1057
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 1: Tim Patrick has played really well. kJ Hamler has shown

1058
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 1: that he can be a playmaker. They have no offense

1059
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 1: there at the tight end spot. They are not hurting

1060
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: for pass catchers in this offense, and so some of

1061
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 1: it is going to be whether or not they believe

1062
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: Drew lock is the guy. Um, but I do think

1063
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: you're right though, the Judy is gonna end up being

1064
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 1: sort of a value pick that people are gonna look

1065
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: at what happened this year and sort of downgrade him. Uh,

1066
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: And if he does take that stuff forward, he ends

1067
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: up being potentially a really great draft bargain for a

1068
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: lot of folks. All right, last one, this guy was

1069
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: a great draft bargain. This year, it's Justin Jefferson for

1070
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. Obviously an incredible draft value because you

1071
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: took him very late in your draft, if at all

1072
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: that's going to change next year. How high does he

1073
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: get drafted in? Yeah, I'm trying to think like how

1074
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: many receivers will go ahead of him. I mean, you

1075
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 1: have your normal stalwarts who will de hop and and

1076
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: players like that. But I think that Jefferson probably ends

1077
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: up getting drafted ahead of guys like Julio Jones and

1078
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: players like that. And this was somebody that we were

1079
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: excited about coming into this year. I remember, you know,

1080
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: they let me do a mock draft alongside of Daniel

1081
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: Jeremiah and Chad and all those guys, Lance and all

1082
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: those guys, and I said that the Eagles should have

1083
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,399
Speaker 1: drafted Justin Jefferson, to the point that the Eagle fans

1084
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: are tired of hearing about it. I'll take this a

1085
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: step further, Hey, Houston Texans, if you would have just

1086
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: gotten the first round pick four DeAndre Hopkins, you could

1087
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: have had Justin Jefferson as well. But anyways, and still

1088
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: gotten David whatever. Um. But I really do believe that

1089
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: he's only gonna He's only gonna step forward. And I

1090
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: know that the the Vikings are going to want to

1091
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: always run the football as much as possible. But I

1092
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: think that they've shown that even when there are run

1093
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 1: first team, there's enough opportunities for guys like Adam Feeling

1094
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: and Justin Jefferson. And I think net next year, Justin

1095
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: Jefferson is just gonna blow by Adam Theland. Not that

1096
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 1: Adam Theland is bad or anything like that, but it's

1097
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 1: really gonna be Justin Jefferson's year. And you got to remember,

1098
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, this is a this is a player that

1099
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: came in this season with a limited, limited training camp,

1100
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 1: not a lot of you know, mini camps or anything

1101
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: like that, and he came in was a stud, which

1102
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: is kind of what we talked about. Like Joe Brady

1103
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. He played in that L s

1104
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: U system, so he's ready to go. But another full officer,

1105
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: but a full, real off season with the NFL, in

1106
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: an NFL system, this guy is gonna be lights out.

1107
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: Like we might be talking about the first receiver off

1108
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 1: the board. Let's get crazy, Marcus. Uh. You know what,

1109
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if in some leagues, maybe maybe

1110
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 1: he does come off the board as the first wide receiver.

1111
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: I think I'm glad you said Julio because that was

1112
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: sort of the name I was thinking of. It is like,

1113
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: where does he go in relation to Julio Jones? And

1114
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: I do think he's probably gonna go ahead of Julio

1115
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: probably in a lot of leagues. I've got him sort

1116
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: of peg right now. Is a third round pick. I

1117
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 1: think he's probably gonna be one of the top ten

1118
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: receivers off the board in a lot of leagues. Um.

1119
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: You know, I will pat myself on the back because

1120
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: I said he was the rookie wide receiver with the

1121
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: highest upside in the first year. I don't know about

1122
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: necessarily long term. I think that still might be seedee Lamb,

1123
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: but I did think he was poised to step in

1124
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,760
Speaker 1: and and produce right away. Mostly goes Kirk Cousins tends

1125
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 1: to just funnel most of his targets to two guys.

1126
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: And you know it was before it was Adam Feeling

1127
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 1: and Stefon Diggs. So you take Digs out, you put

1128
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: Jefferson in, uh, and he slid in and he replaced

1129
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: Digs very nicely. Uh. You know, that's one of those

1130
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 1: trades where everybody wins. I know I'm not the first

1131
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: person to say this, but the Bill's obviously got a

1132
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: lot better with Stefon Diggs and the Vikings didn't really

1133
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: miss anything offensively. I plugged him in with Justin Jefferson.

1134
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: So I do think that, you know, if you were

1135
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: able to get the draft discount on Jefferson this year,

1136
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: enjoy it because it's going away. You're just not gonna

1137
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: get it this Year's all So there is too um Okay,

1138
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: that was best of the pack presented by Panini Trading

1139
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: car So I know for a lot of folks, your

1140
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: fantasy season is already over and there are a lot

1141
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: of people who are celebrating championships. Congratulations to you for that. Uh,

1142
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 1: something that I know has become very popular in recent

1143
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: years and certainly something that we encourage and and appreciated that. Uh,

1144
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 1: if there is a player that helped you win a

1145
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: fantasy championship, maybe it's Alvin Kamara, maybe it's Stefon Diggs

1146
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: or Josh Allen. That a lot of fantasy managers are

1147
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: taking part of what they win and donating it to

1148
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: that specific players charity. And uh, I know there are

1149
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: lists that are out there. Maybe the best one I

1150
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: found if you go on Twitter, it is Champion Causes. Uh.

1151
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 1: It is a list that is being curated and compiled

1152
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: by Michael Gelkin, who is one of the beat writers

1153
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: for the Dallas Cowboys. UM. He's put together a list

1154
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: of as many NFL players as he can find and

1155
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: their respective charities. So it's worth going to check it

1156
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: out at Champion Causes on Twitter. You can find the

1157
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: list there. If there is a player that helped you

1158
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: win a championship and you want to donate a little

1159
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: bit of your winnings to that player's charity, by all

1160
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 1: means do so. It is certainly a worthwhile cause. And

1161
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: you know it's nice to send to give back to

1162
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: these guys who you put out a lot of work

1163
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 1: for our own entertainments. Uh. I just kind of try

1164
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 1: to help out to show that that you care about

1165
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: what they do. Um. And if I can say one

1166
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: thing on that is if I don't know if he's

1167
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: on the list, but I'm gonna do my best to

1168
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: try to find it. If you played young Way Coup

1169
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: this year, donate to his charity because people are being

1170
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: mean to him for that miss against the Chiefs, and

1171
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 1: it's like, you know what, that guy carried you for

1172
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: so many weeks that I think that you should go

1173
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: and do something nice for him. So that's I lost

1174
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:40,839
Speaker 1: in a bunch of league. Like I lost. I went

1175
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 1: over six on Super Bowl Sunday, So I have nobody

1176
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: to donate to. But I'm gonna go. I'm gonna find

1177
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: young ways and find and help him out. Absolutely, I

1178
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: think that is a definitely worth one. You don't have

1179
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: to do it just cause you want, if you want

1180
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: to just go and help out. I mean that always.

1181
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: I think is appreciated by a lot of folks. All Right,

1182
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: So we haven't actually officially named a an m v

1183
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: P for for twenty although I would suspect what did

1184
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: we do that on the Tuesday show A Fantasy Live. Well,

1185
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: we've been our own individual MVPs. I don't think we

1186
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: have a consensus one. I don't know, Josh Allen sure,

1187
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: probably Alvin Avin Kamara has the most Fantasy points through

1188
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: sixteen weeks, so maybe it's Alvin Kamara. Uh, I don't know.

1189
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: But what we are gonna do is name our m

1190
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: VP for one. So we're gonna fast forward twelve months

1191
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: from now. We're at the end of the Fantasy season

1192
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,280
Speaker 1: and Adam Rank, who is going to be the Fantasy

1193
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: Most Valuable Player. Well, I'm gonna go with Jonathan Taylor,

1194
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: and I think going into next season, they figured out

1195
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: what they have with him and it was you know,

1196
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 1: it took a little bit of time for some of

1197
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: these rookie running backs because you know, again limited, limited

1198
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: off season, and so they it takes some time to

1199
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 1: understand an NFL offense, especially for running backs because a

1200
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: lot of it is past production or past protection excuse me,

1201
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 1: and other little nuances that we don't see. We just think.

1202
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people are like, he just

1203
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: running the football, How hard is that? But it's like

1204
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that you need to be

1205
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: able to do, especially when the quarterbacks are audible ng

1206
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: at the line so much. So I look at Jonathan

1207
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: Taylor using this offseason is a springboard into something better,

1208
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see the way the Cults

1209
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: are constructed next season. You expect them to have one

1210
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: of the best offensive lines in football. We don't know

1211
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: who the quarterback is gonna be. If they have a

1212
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback, I think that only adds to Jonathan Taylor's

1213
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: value as well. So I think that he takes that

1214
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 1: step forward and next year. You know, I don't think

1215
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be one on one taking off the board,

1216
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: but I think that he's gonna end up being the

1217
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: best running back for fantasy enthusiast next season. I think

1218
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: what we saw from him in the back half of

1219
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: the season suggests that really big things are coming for

1220
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: him next year. Uh, Jordan Wilkins, I don't think it's

1221
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: gonna be part of the mix. Maybe you see some

1222
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: nine mines, but it's gonna be the Jonathan Taylor Show

1223
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. I'm gonna go quarterback, and I'm gonna go

1224
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray, who was lights out to start the year,

1225
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: slowed down. I think because of that shoulder or injury

1226
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: we saw sort of mid season. I know he didn't

1227
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: have a great game last week against the forty niners,

1228
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: but I mean, this is still a guy that was

1229
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: a top three quarterback pretty much all season long. I

1230
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: would think he's going to be drafted as a top

1231
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: three quarterback, which means if you want to have Kyler

1232
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: Murray on your team, chances are you're probably gonna have

1233
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: to draft him in like the third or fourth round

1234
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: because that's just probably going to be the asking price,

1235
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: but I think the upside is huge. I think especially

1236
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: if they do something to sort of beef up that

1237
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver group. We know how good new Co Hopkins is. Um,

1238
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald is probably retiring. I would think that we

1239
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 1: have we may be seen the last of him, uh

1240
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: this weekend. Uh, depending on whether that the Cardinals make

1241
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Christian Kirk has sort of been underwhelming, so

1242
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: I would think that that maybe the Cardinals try to

1243
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: pick up at least one past catcher to help out.

1244
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: But Tyler can still run the football effectively, and I

1245
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: think that's gonna go along the way. So I wouldn't

1246
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: be surprised if we're talking about him maybe the way

1247
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: we talked about Josh Allen a lot this year and

1248
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: half him be my my fantasy m v P UM

1249
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: which brings us to the end of the show, and

1250
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: I this is the point where I want to just

1251
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: shout out the people that I think really are the

1252
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 1: m v ps and uh, it's the folks who helped

1253
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: us put this thing together all year long. Um, And

1254
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna miss some names until I apologize

1255
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: for that, but uh, you know, between Hytham Kalani and

1256
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Bartlett and Christie Stapleton and Zack Saley and so

1257
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: many of the folks behind the scenes whose faces you

1258
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: never see, whose voices you never hear, whose names you

1259
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: generally don't know about, but who really, you know, help

1260
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: us do this whole thing. I mean, this was our

1261
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: first year doing a streaming show. I am grateful to

1262
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 1: the folks who let me sit in this seat and

1263
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: do it for them, believing that I wasn't gonna burn

1264
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: the house down. So I'm I'm certainly grateful for that.

1265
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for uh, Kimmy and Adam and Florio who

1266
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: sat in and and you know kind of tick took

1268
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: grateful for all of you out there who watched this thing,

1269
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: because if you didn't watch it, they probably would have

1270
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: pulled the plug on this day a long time ago.
