18
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: the injury on Raw and UH, the crowd went wild. Yeah, man,

19
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: bronchitis is I tried to work through it for about

20
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: a week. Didn't work for you? Yeah, and then I

21
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: went to the doctor and uh he examined me and

22
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: he's like, you have burnt chitis. What the heck are

23
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: you doing working? And I says, I didn't know how bronchitis.

24
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: And he says, well, if you want to keep working

25
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: and get pneumonia, then go for working. Yeah. So he

26
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: basically told me, he's like, you gotta take time off

27
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna get any better. So, but uh,

28
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: it's good to be back. I don't know if my

29
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: voice sounds exactly right, but uh, I'm feeling good enough

30
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: to I and uh help some people win a fantasy title. Here,

31
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: sore you go, let's let's do it. I like it,

32
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: um as I always saying, we have the top headlines,

33
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: waiver wire options, recency bias. We're gonna talk about guys

34
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: who over the last two weeks have just absolutely gone crazy,

35
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: but maybe something that haven't gone crazy. Oh, and we

36
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 1: will talk about whether or not, uh they will keep

37
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: it up or they will stay down, or basically will

38
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: the recency bias hold. And then of course we'll talk

39
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: about some good and bad schedules here. Uh, as we

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: go down into the stretch of the fantasy playoffs, but first,

41
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: let's unfortunately, let's react to the Monday Night Uh. That

42
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: was not good football. It was not uh that we

43
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: were subjected to on Monday Night. We've kind of seen

44
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: more and more of that this year primetime games, right,

45
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of bad games. Thursday night

46
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: games have been not great that Monday night games have not.

47
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: The finish was great, Oh, the finish was amazing, Yeah,

48
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: but getting up to that point was a little. Uh.

49
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: The final score Dallas nineteen, Washington sixteen. And so I'm

50
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: sure that made Michael Fabion a little I mean, I mean, listen,

51
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: I wanna I want a team that's got a shot

52
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: to win something. I almost don't have a shot to

53
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: win anything with this team, So Almo is not I

54
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: are and no, I don't know. I honestly like I've

55
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: kind of thrown in the towel on this year. I'm

56
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: kind of looking for a high draft pick because I

57
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys could really use that that could actually

58
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: take them to the next step. Maybe, but I don't know.

59
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm happy to see the Cowboys win, but

60
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, hey, on the bright side, at least you

61
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: have the Lake yeah, um, and the Red Sox just

62
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: signed David Price, So my Yankees I was, I was

63
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: kind of glad to see the Cowboys win because the

64
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: anarchist in me wants to see this division in flames

65
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: as much as possible. So that fact, I was kind

66
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: of happy with the one just a six and ten

67
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: team and that would be I was talking with this

68
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: with the people I met up at the bar of

69
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: a second half of the game with realize that whoever

70
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: wins this division is probably going to welcomes Seattle into

71
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: their home stadium for that wild card playoff game. Right,

72
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: that is going to be a blood bath probably, But

73
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: how about if they win? But I mean, the way

74
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: the NFL works is that six and ten team might

75
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs and then somehow miraculously win a

76
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: first round playoff game and it probably gets smoked. Well

77
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: remember that that actually happened seven and nine right when

78
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: they were Um when when they were that was the

79
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: beast most game. Um so it it's but I mean,

80
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: listen that castles the quarterback guys, Dez Bryant. You couldn't

81
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: hear him, but you could feel his frustration every time

82
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: they had him on camera last night. I hear you

83
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: at the end of the game UM ninety and sixteen.

84
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: Your final score Dallas improves to Foreign eight Washington five

85
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: and seven. There's a three way tie um in the

86
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: NFC East. Dallas amazingly is somehow just a game back.

87
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: But listen, that's real football talking about fantasy football. Matt Jones.

88
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look, nobody did anything. Nobody did anything. I know,

89
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: mc fadden scored a touchdown and he still didn't even

90
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: have two fumbles fumbles? What did run DMC have fifty

91
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: nine total yards in a touchdown? Seven points? Alfred Morris

92
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: got benched. I mean, if the running back position was

93
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: an already a disaster, why did Alfred Morris get benched?

94
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: Do we know? Do we have any indications as to

95
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: why Alfred Morris got six carries for twelve yards. Meanwhile

96
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: Matt Jones got eight. He didn't because crudent hates fantasy football.

97
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: He didn't play in the last three quarters. This is like,

98
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: this is what happened. And when we people were talking

99
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: last week like, oh, maybe Morris is turning the corner,

100
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: maybe he's getting the ball more like, no, we we've

101
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: seen this, like a couple of weeks ago. Morris got

102
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: like thirteen carries and it was like, oh, maybe he's

103
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: turning the corner. Following week three, then he had his

104
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: big game last week. Now again six touches or six

105
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: carries or whatever. It's like, you just cannot trust this backfield.

106
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: I yeah, boy, that goes that goes, uh for a

107
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: whole lot of backfields, all right. So Dez Bryant caught

108
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: one long one which was basically the only way he

109
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: got to sixty two yards. So he managed, you know,

110
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: just six points in fantasy. Not great. Deshan Jackson had

111
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: nothing going and as a matter of fact, until the

112
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: last thirty seconds of that ball game, he really had

113
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: nothing going. Um what was he at? He he got

114
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: thirty yards in a touchdown on the on the last

115
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: thirty seconds. He was at five for fifty with the

116
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: fumble on the pump return, and then he got the

117
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: redeeming touchdown, which was that maybe the worst punk return

118
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: fumble of all time one of yes, I mean running

119
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: twenty yards backwards to fumble the football. And when they

120
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: when they cut his highlight reel that will be on

121
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: it playing that whole time. It was craziness. Um, can

122
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: I ask you guys this? I know again, this is

123
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: more real football. But how was that a fumble? I thought,

124
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: if the ground causes the ball, I never caused it.

125
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: That popped out before it was down? No, No, but

126
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: he it's because his wrist hit the ground. I don't think.

127
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: I think it was out before his wrist hit the

128
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: ground too, because he was getting bent, because he was

129
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: getting like sandwiched by five guys. I feel like they

130
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: should just call it a fumble on principle because he

131
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: was so incredibly dumb. Maybe that's what happened. And I

132
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: buy that was just so bad? Wasn't it funny? Though?

133
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: That like the Redskins went right back down the field

134
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: and Jackson scores the touchdown to tie the game. And

135
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if that if that game lasted the last

136
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: what five minutes, and that was it, people that would

137
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: have been talking about it about how exciting it was.

138
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: I wish, I really wish Washington had gone down there

139
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: and hit that field goal. That would have been amazing,

140
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: just so we could get more. No, Jordan read only

141
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: thirty three yards. It was bad anyways, Like I said,

142
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: nineteen nineteen sixteen yr final Dallas wins. They improved to

143
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: four and eight. Let's get the top headlines, The Cameron

144
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: Highlights in the world of sports, breaking, breaking news, breaking,

00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: talking a lot of real football here. Johnny Manziel is

147
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: starting for the Cleveland Browns, or is he. I know,

148
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: we've gotten some initial reports right that Johnny Manziel will start,

149
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: and then the head coach, Mike Petton had to go

150
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: in and throw a monkey wrench into that and say

151
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: that no. As a matter of fact, he has not

152
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,840

155
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: the running quarterback is like a cheat code. Um, Johnny

156
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: Manziel is running quarterback. Cleveland, though, is a dumpster fire?

157
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: Do we stash Johnny Manziel? Dude, there's so many good

158
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: quarterbacks right now. I mean, the one of the stats

159
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: that I tweeted out yesterday, so this this week, Week thirteen,

160
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer scored twenty two fantasy points and was the

161
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: fifteenth highest scoring quarterback. It was crazy. Johnny Manzel should

162
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: not be anywhere near your fantasy roster unless you're in

163
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: a very deep league. When you're when you're talking about

164
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,359
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston with a great matchup this week, Ryan Fitzpatrick

165
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: is playing very well. Uh heck, there are there are

166
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: probably four quarterbacks on the waiver wire in most leagues

167
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: right now that I would have a hundred percent confidence

168
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: in starting in the first week of my fantasy play.

169
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: It's kind of sad because it would be fun to

170
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: like be in a position where you're like, yeah, I

171
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: gotta trot out Johnny and like this will be exciting

172
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: and whatever. But you're right, fabs like Ryan Fitzpatrick is

173
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: only owned in like of leagues scoring quarterbacks Jamis and

174
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: play in New Orleans this week. There are a boatload

175
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: of good quarterbacks out there, which is again why you

176
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: don't drop the quarterback. I mean, the only thing I

177
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: want from Johnny Manzell is for him to throw it,

178
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: so Gary Barnett, that's all we need Johnny Manzell to do.

179
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: That's right, that's all we lot. Alright, how about Matt Hasselbeck.

180
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: His status is uncertain for Week fourteen. He suffered a

181
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: I believe a neck and shoulder injury. It's combination um

182
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: or as we were saying in the Fantasy Stronghold, he

183
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: suffered an injury of old. Yes he's forty years old.

184
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: When he gets tackled very hard, likely to get hurt.

185
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: What's the impact on the the cults skill position players?

186
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: There a clipboard. I don't know. I don't know that

187
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: he's not playing UM, but either way, the offensive skill

188
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: positions are not trustworthy, any of them. I mean, even

189
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: Frank Gorey had a good game last week, but even

190
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: Gore's banged up. UM, the matchup is actually not bad.

191
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: But I it's hard man even to trust t Y.

192
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: You know, he had a couple of good games and

193
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: then last week he uh, he had a stinker. And

194
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: you can't trust Leaner, you can't trust mon Creeve. It's

195
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: it's amazing too because this is the team maybe out

196
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: of three or four in the preseason where we were

197
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: like we invest heavily and this is a lot of

198
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: good fantasy players on this roster, not so much UM.

199
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: And it's it's a situation to where this past week

200
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: was an absolute killer for a lot of fantasy lineups

201
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: because the Steelers until that point had just been getting

202
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: burned everywhere. I thought t Y Hilton was gonna have

203
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: a nice day. I thought Dante Moltcrieffe was gonna have

204
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: a nice day. I went on NFL Fantasy that on

205
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: Sunday and I said, Matt Hasselbeck is going to be

206
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: your number seven, uh fantasy quarterback this week. And sorry

207
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: about that much. Sorry about that, Twitter, I apologize. Uh.

208
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: What's your takeaways on the Colts offense? There? Do we believe?

209
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Do we not trust? What? What do you want? I'm

210
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: going to trust his gore Still. I had been worried

211
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: about him, especially because, like he said, Fabbs, he was

212
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: dinged up and Chuck mcgonnald called him beat the crap.

213
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: But he looked really good against the Steelers tough, tough front.

214
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: And if Charlie Whitehurst is gonna come in, you know

215
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and establish the run to take some

216
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: pressure off of him. So I think gar will see

217
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: a nice volume of are of touches and should still

218
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: be able to produce like low to mid end RB

219
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: two numbers for you. I was again just shocked by

220
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: the ineffectiveness of Matt Hasselbeck, only because he had been

221
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: playing really well, very good effective football at the quarterback position.

222
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: He just looked like he was absolutely overwhelmed. Okay, we'll

223
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: move on. Let's talk about Philadelphia to Marco Murray fourteen

224
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: snaps against New England, we saw a lot of ken

225
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: Yon Barnard latest, ye, I don't I don't understand that

226
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: he only played one less snap than Murray. Al right,

227
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: so what do we do with de Marco Murray? Well,

228
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: benjam if you can afford to like, that's the problem

229
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: right now. Fantasy owners don't have any any options at

230
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: running back. I mean I was telling people to pick

231
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: up Sean Drone three weeks ago because of volume, and

232
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: now he's probably the only running back worth anything on

233
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, right, and maybe James White this week.

234
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: But it's like, Belatrack, can you t can you trust

235
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: James White? Though? Right? So at least you know dron

236
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: is gonna see carries and get touches. I mean, this

237
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: guy is called whether the teen passes in his last

238
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: three games. Yeah, I honestly might rather start James White

239
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: than to Marco Murray. Oh, because Jim Kelly also said

240
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: recently that they were going to be changes, and it

241
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: this begs the question if maybe Chip Kelly the coach

242
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: is starting to, you know, take over for Chip Kelly

243
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: the GM. And he's not just deferring all these touches

244
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: to Marco Murray because they paid him a bunch of

245
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: money and he's realizing that there are other better options

246
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: for his offense. Darren Sprawls looks like he's a pretty

247
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: good option in that offense. Uh. Seems to make a

248
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: heck of a lot of sense. He likes those Uh,

249
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: he likes speed is what Chip Kelly likes. He he

250
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: prefers speed over everything. And and if he likes that,

251
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: I just don't see how you know, Darren Sprowls is

252
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: not a guy, uh that you give a lot of

253
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: looks to. If I think if Darren Sprowles is out

254
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: on your way of wire, you should absolutely add him

255
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: to your roster's as well. Ryan Matthews might be coming back,

256
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: and he was the most effective running back in this team.

257
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: He like had it just about as many Fantasy points

258
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: before he went down as de Marco Murray and find touches. Alright,

259
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: so de Marco Murray on high alert put him on

260
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: the bench. Yes, no, maybe so if you can afford

261
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: it is what fabs us. Yeah, it's it's really it's

262
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: really tough out there at running back. So um, I'd

263
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: rather I'd rather play Murray and and cross my fingers

264
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: than a lot of the guys out there. Might be true. Alright,

265
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: let's talk about another struggling running back, struggling with his weight,

266
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: perhaps struggling with a curfew. Most definitely he Lacy missed

267
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: curfew uh in the Saturday before excuse me, the Wednesday

268
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: before his Thursday game. UH, weight concerns. Obviously there have been,

269
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, injury concerns as well. Now he's got some

270
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: off field issues missing curfew. What do you do? You

271
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: can't you can't play. I mean, we keep saying this

272
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: though he had back to act hundred yard games, he

273
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: had a nice game in the week prior, UH, and

274
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: then he comes out and again, if you played him

275
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: and trying to get into your fantasy playoffs, you're most

276
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: likely out. You needed a big number this week. This

277
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: week was the week you needed a big number to win.

278
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: And Eddie Lacy sitting in your starting lineup with zero

279
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: point one and absolute killer for most rosters. Yeah, that

280
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,479
Speaker 1: one is a killer. And you were actually starting to

281
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: have a little faith in him because he had two

282
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: games in a row, as we mentioned. But he I mean,

283
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: aside from the weight and the lack of touches, now,

284
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: he's clearly not fully invested. When when you're an NFL

285
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: player and you're late to meetings or you're missing meetings,

286
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's just not a good sign. So um,

287
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: even against the Cowboys this week, I mean, their defense

288
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: played pretty well, yeah last night, and it's a little

289
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: bit underrated, although they haven't been great against running backs

290
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: this year. How do you play him? You can't, You

291
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: can't play anybody in this backfield because James Starks ended

292
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: up in the doghouse too because he fumbled against Detroit

293
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: and then we saw, you know, as we said, the

294
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: pride of North Dakota State. So like there's hope. I mean,

295
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: don't outright drop Lacey because maybe this is his wake

296
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: up call and he's like, oh wow, I'm gonna have

297
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: a lot of money on the line next year. I

298
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: should actually get my act together and come to meetings

299
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: and and try hard. I mean, or he's just spiraling

300
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: out of control this year and it's lost. But you

301
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta hold on to him. You gotta hold

302
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: on the Starks don't play any of them this week,

303
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: but you could potentially play them the week after against Oakland. Well,

304
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned this to Alex that Mike McCarthy has a

305
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: pretty good history of sticking with guys. Uh, he might

306
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: stick him in the doghouse for a game, maybe two,

307
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: but but he sticks with him, Right, It'll be worth monitoring.

308
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have him and you're in the playoffs,

309
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: like keep an eye on like press conferences and reports

310
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: out of practice for the Packers this coming week. Because

311
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: if McCarthy is like, yeah, this is the Lacy we

312
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: needed to see or something, or he's totally responded to

313
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: that punishment, like, then that's a you know, it's your

314
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: trend in the right direction with this narrative, but it's

315
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: still going to be a risky venture. I'll tell you what.

316
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: If you're a podcast listener, we will have Alex Kelhar

317
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: on the case. He filing reports from Green Bay. And

318
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: listen to our our podcast trip back Home Network to

319
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: send me over. Absolutely listen to our I tell you what,

320
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: listen to the podcast Friday. We'll definitely have an update

321
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: on Eddie Lacey, and I promise you Alex Kelhar will

322
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: have will be the good news aggregator that he is.

323
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: And uh give us the latest reports on Eddie Lacey. Alright,

324
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Arizona's backfield. David Johnson, well and

325
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore as well, Buck al Javars, Javars Allen had. I mean,

326
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: they had great games. They had absolutely great games. This

327
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: is the David Johnson that we were expecting. Uh. I

328
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know if all of us were

329
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: expecting in the off season, but I knew he had

330
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: the the size and speed combination to look like that, uh,

331
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: to basically be a power guy, anbas speed guy catch

332
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: balls out of the backfield. There's so much to like

333
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: about David Johnson, especially in that offense, and Bruce Arians

334
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: really knows how to utilize them. Yeah, and now you've

335
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: got a banged up Vikings defense coming to Arizona. This right,

336
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: so and and this is this is kind of funny too,

337
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: because uh, certainly, uh, we've seen a real, a real

338
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: loss of top talent at running back, both in reality

339
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: and fantasy. But you're going into the playoffs right now,

340
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: You're leaning on David Johnson, You're leaning on Buck Allen,

341
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: Thomas Thomas Rawls. I mean it is. It is ridiculous

342
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: the running backs that Sean Drone, that that people are

343
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: starting now, Uh, compared to where these players were back

344
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: when we were drafting our teams. Oh, they weren't even

345
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean, were there any of these early on the radar?

346
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: Ar and all some of these guys. I mean, look,

347
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: as long as Andrea Ellington is still out, obviously we

348
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: know that Chris Johnson's gonna be out basically for the

349
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: rest of the year. What is he eligible for Super Bowl?

350
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: And case the Cardinals make it. Um, you know, as

351
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: long as Andre Ellenson isn't there and he didn't practice

352
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: on Monday, it doesn't look like he's gonna play on Thursday. Uh.

353
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: David Johnson is the guy, so as long as he's

354
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: the starter, you're plugging him in. The same same goes

355
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: for Buck Allen, who has been a really nice plug

356
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: in for Justin for sett since he went down. Although

357
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: now let me ask you a question though, because they're

358
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: playing Seattle this week, Seattle has got the best run

359
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: defense in the league. If you're talking about running back production,

360
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: running backs to nothing against the Dreen Peterson did nothing.

361
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: But how many guys out there gonna get the kind

362
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: of volume, right, I know, I know, so, so you

363
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: probably have to use him as a flex. But this

364
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: could be a week where Buck Allen does not produce

365
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: the type of numbers that we've seen in the last

366
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: few weeks. Well, I'll tell you what man um if

367
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: if Benny Cunneyham is putting up fantasy points on this

368
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: Seattle defense, well that was that was in we one.

369
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look at Seattle's numbers right now, the insane

370
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: if you look at the fantasy points against numbers on

371
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: nfl dot com right now, I mean, Seattle is giving

372
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: up an average of twelve points a game to running backs.

373
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: They've given up four rushing touchdowns all year. Uh you know,

374
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: they've given up thirty rushing yards. I mean it's next

375
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: to nothing. And they haven't played a bunch of curtain

376
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: jerkers either. They have not Adrian Peters. This is down

377
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: right exactly, so you've you have to play him. I think.

378
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: I think the hope is he has a game similar

379
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: to what D'Angelo had a couple of weeks ago, in

380
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: he's going to catch a bunch of catch a bunch

381
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: of passes and be able to do some stuff in

382
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: space like his ceiling is undoubtedly lowered, and it could

383
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: be like basement level, but he also has the chance

384
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: to put in. Like you said, flex is a safer

385
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: spot for him. R B two. If you're if your

386
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: team has decimated with injuries, the matchup is terrible. But

387
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: right now in the state we're at a running back

388
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: in fantasy football, he's he's a flex starter at worst.

389
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: All right, how about Alan Hearns he finally clears concussion protocol.

390
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:08,239
Speaker 1: I'm assuming he's a must start against Indianapolis. I mean,

391
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: he's been one a top fifth team fantasy receiver most

392
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: of the year. You put him in, gotta play, all right,

393
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: there you go. I wanted to ask about Blake Bortles too,

394
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: because Blake Bortles has just been I mean, obviously had

395
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: a huge game, but we're seeing big games out of

396
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: Blake there. Yeah, he's been a fantasy stud this year,

397
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: regardless of how he actually looks on the field and

398
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: how many turnoverseason. Right, he has been dominating for a

399
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy rosters, a couple of mine, including Alright,

400
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: waiver wire options time because it is Tuesday, and of

401
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: course Tuesday the big waiver wire day for those of

402
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: you entering into the playoffs, there will be some names

403
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: out there, you know. It's it's it's interesting too because

404
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: this is the time of year where guys who are

405
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: out of it don't make waiver wire claims even if

406
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: they have a high waiver wire priority and uh and

407
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: as a result, those playoff teams now have a little

408
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: few more options on the way, sadly that the wire

409
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: is really thin. So this week I kind of spun

410
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 1: the main article into like, here's some guys that might

411
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: have good matchups that you could pick up. Like we

412
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: mentioned two of them already off the top, Shandrone and

413
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: James White, both owned in a ton of leagues. James White,

414
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of looking like vinted Shane Vereen and like

415
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: or like a poor fasimilar for Dion Lewis, but he's

416
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: been getting a lot more work lately. Of course, this

417
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: all could tip back to Brandon Bolden because Belatricks had returned,

418
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: but he's there, and I mean, if you're desperate and

419
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: in a PPR league, But all Powell might have the

420
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: game script coming again in a shootout between the Jets

421
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: and Titans where he could see a ton of work

422
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: because he had like did he have a hundred yards

423
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: receiving this past week or was it? I don't know

424
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: that he had, but he certainly certainly made Chris Ivory

425
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: a lot less. Yeah, and that's for sure. It was

426
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: a lot. It was a lot. It had a lot

427
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: to do with how the game game fell in line.

428
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: So he's won THEO ritic still catch a ton of

429
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: passes and could have another game uh wide receiver wise,

430
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: Davante Park, We've talked a lot about his resurgence. He's

431
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: available in a lot of leagues. Tyler Lockett has been

432
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: seeing a lot more work recently. Actually, um with that

433
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: Seattle passing offense catching fire and then again a PPR

434
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: one Bryan Heart line, like it or not? I know

435
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: when that mean one thing? Um can I I want

436
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: to rewind you here just a bit here Chris Ivory.

437
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: I know a lot of fantasy managers are asking about

438
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory. They're worried about the tailing off of production.

439
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: I want to get you, guys, take on what to

440
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: do with Chris Ivory for the rest of the season. Here,

441
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: start him. He's got a good matchup this week coming up.

442
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: I mean so to me again, it's all part of

443
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: that running back anemia. Is that a name? Um, you

444
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: have to you have to sort of play him, and

445
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: but I guess expectations. Yeah, well, I mean let's look

446
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: when he started the season, he was gangbusters man. Yeah, um,

447
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: he was top ten guy. I believe at some point

448
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: he was a top five guy. Now he's still top five.

449
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: Is he still tossed on top five? Yeah? I mean

450
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: he's kind of like he's been every week, every other week,

451
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: so you know, he he'll give you a good one

452
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: then a stinker. Um. But Tennessee's run defenses, I mean

453
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: they're not they're not all that. So I still think

454
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: you have to play him, right, this could have to

455
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: run with them, I mean before this game turns to

456
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: shoot or if the Jets played better. This also does

457
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: look like it. I don't know which way it's going

458
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: to go. It could be an Ivory game, it could

459
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: be a Powell game. But like, why he's in the

460
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: top five is because five of his last eight weeks

461
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: he's had eleven plus points sixteen and two of those

462
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: twenty five and one. But those other three weeks all

463
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: four points. Yeah. You know what's amazing is that Lamar Miller,

464
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: despite the fact that he's had a bunch of stink bombs.

465
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: Is the sixth highest scoring running back in Fantasy foot

466
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, so much of this is attrition, though, I mean,

467
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 1: what what does this What does the top ten look

468
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: like if Jamal Charles and Levanry and Foster, you know,

469
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: if Marshawn Lynch wasn't you know, nicked up all year?

470
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, what does it look like if those guy

471
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 1: has performed the way you know, if Andie Lacey performed

472
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: the way we expected him to be. You know, D'Angelo

473
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: Williams is I think he's tenth or eleventh in running

474
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: back fantasy points, and he's had five games this year

475
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: with two or fewer points because Levian Bell was in

476
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: the game, and he's still a top ten running back.

477
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: It's insane. Is such a crazy season, between the injuries

478
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: and between the fact that listen heck in drafts next year,

479
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: I might need even take a quarterback. I'll play the

480
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: waiver wire every single week, honestly, because like when you

481
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: see quarterbacks like Mariota and Winston and Tyrod and fits

482
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: Magic putting up the type of production that they're putting up,

483
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, it's Andy Dalton's a fantasy star.

484
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: This guy was you know, he wasn't even drafted in

485
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues. That the league is so is

486
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: so quarterback friendly at this point in time that listen.

487
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: I mean even guys that you had given up on

488
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: earlier in the year. Matt Staffords had three pretty good

489
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: games in a row. So um oh and speaking Wayne

490
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: Gabbert rush for more yards. Yeah, and Todd Gurley combined

491
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: last week speaking of quarterbacks to wrap up the waiver

492
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: wire real quick. Two good ones to grab off the

493
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: waiver wire, Tyrod if he's still there. Plays the Eagles

494
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: defense this well, yeah, getting lit Their secondary has been

495
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: lit on fire by quarterbacks and Fitzpatrick again we mentioned

496
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: him off the top Tennessee great matchup another name to

497
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: look for. He came back this week from injury. Austin

498
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: Seferian Jenkins didn't have a great stat line targets, six targets.

499
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: Jamis loves throwing to his tight end, and he is

500
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: playing the worst defense in the world at covering tight

501
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: ends and also potentially just in the world in the

502
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. So look for some Ferry and Jenkins

503
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: if you're still If you had Gronk if you're worried

504
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 1: about effort or maybe even for a flex to be honest,

505
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: like if you have a tight end and you want

506
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: to get first game, play another one in the flex

507
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: sj is a great match jick awesome. I love it. Um.

508
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: By the way, if you don't have Devonte Parker, go

509
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: get him, Go get him right now. I love him, Um,

510
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: I absolutely love him. I love him. In this offense.

511
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: You think about which Harvis Lantry does underneath. They need

512
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: that one guy. They try to bring in Kenny Stills

513
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: in the off season to be that guy who could

514
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: who could take the top off of the defense and

515
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: keep defense. Is honest, unfortunately he's Kenny Steals. Uh. DeVante

516
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: Parker is that guy. He is that guy, and he

517
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: was recovering from injury earlier in this season. Uh, we've

518
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: seen this story before, folks. Rookie wide receiver making a

519
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: big impact late in the season. Um. DeVante Parker I

520
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: do believe has the skill set and is in an

521
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: offense to really make a difference in fantasy. If he's

522
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: out there, go get him. Um. Alright, let's play a

523
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: little game of recency bias, shall we. That's uh, it's

524
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: the over the last two weeks, we're we're gonna take

525
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: a look at guys who have either win b zonkers

526
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: or maybe have struggled, and we'll tell you whether or

527
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: not the recently bias will last um or if that

528
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: is what it is, it's just a bias because we've

529
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: been looking at a very small sample size. All Right,

530
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: we'll start the quarterback position. How about Russell Wilson five

531
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns UM one week and then he follows that up

532
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: with a master performance again last week. Marcus Mariota and

533
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: tie God Taylor. These guys are quarterbacks who have just

534
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: been on fire. And Russell's got some really nice matchups

535
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: Baltimore this week, they stink Cleveland in week fifteen, and

536
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: then St. Louis, which they haven't been the same. Seemed

537
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: to be a bad matchup a couple of weeks ago,

538
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: but yea, Marcus said, not so much, and that's a

539
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: home game, so and and let's let's not sugarcoat it.

540
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson wasn't good. No. Up until two weeks ago

541
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: week eleven, he had been really inconsistent, and now all

542
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's a guy who could help you

543
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: win a Championship. And you know what, you know what

544
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: the funniest thing is is that he's having some of

545
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: his best games without Jimmy Crab. I know, it's a

546
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: very good point. Yeah, Like, hey, take take supposedly and

547
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: quote your best offensive weapon, throw him on the sidelines

548
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: and then the quarterback goes nuts. I don't know, I

549
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. I don't know what to

550
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: make of it. But uh, the offense definitely over the

551
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: last three weeks, has looked I mean it looks. It

552
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: looks nothing like what we saw earlier in the season,

553
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: nothing like and like you said, Fabs, he was he

554
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: was bad early on. Uh he only finished as a

555
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: QB one, scored in the top twelve three times in

556
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: his first ten games, and and now but two weeks

557
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: in a row where he's been top three and um,

558
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: but you know what, you know what, guys, this Seahawks team,

559
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: the offense looks more like what we've seen the last

560
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: few years. You remove lynch Rawls has come in and

561
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: played really well, you don't have Jimmy Graham in that offense,

562
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, they're starting to look like

563
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: the team that went to the Super Bowl. Two years

564
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: in a row on offense, and it's amazing how um

565
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: that running game and the and the effectiveness of Thomas

566
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: Rawls has sort of let up on the pressure of

567
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: the offensive line. You haven't heard about that the last

568
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: few weeks. So great point and for fantasy owners, it

569
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: couldn't come in a better time. I mean, you've got Rawls,

570
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: Rawles slash Lynch. I mean, that's his production is Marshawn

571
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: Lynch esque. And Russell Wilson is back to being what

572
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: we saw last year. Is there any reason not to

573
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 1: believe in Russell Wilson moving forward? Not with the schedule

574
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: he has schedules really good, I mean real at this point.

575
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: You know, I said yesterday on on Fantasy Live. At

576
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: the start of the year, we thought he was going

577
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: to be the number three fantasy quarterback. And with the

578
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: schedule in the way he's playing, he could he could

579
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: get there. He could get there. He's get really close.

580
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean at the last three games, eleven touchdown passes,

581
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: no interceptions. That's that's pretty good, good, pretty good, pretty good?

582
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: All right? How about Marcus Mariotta? Do we believe listen, boy,

583
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: when when a quarterback, when a quarterback gives me that

584
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: long what what was an eight seventy touchdown rush? And

585
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: uh it was gorgeous. He's i mean three games in

586
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: a row with over eighteen points um, and last week

587
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and now now he's got the Jets on the

588
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: road and it's not a great matchup. I mean, the

589
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: Jets defense has not been as good, but quarterbacks are

590
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: still not putting up like huge numbers against them. You know,

591
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: Eli didn't put up a good number against them last week. Uh,

592
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: then he's got New England and Houston. So Houston's defense

593
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: I can't figure out. One week they're tough as nails.

594
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: The next week, Uh, Tyrode's going for you know, thirty

595
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: points against them. So Mariota is certainly needs to be

596
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: rostered in every single league. But started this week, I'd

597
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: be playing Fits over him. I'd playing Tyrode over him.

598
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: I'd be playing is he a top ten quarterback this

599
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: right now? Not this week? Not this week? No? Um? Yeah,

600
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean he he is kind of he is who

601
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: we thought he was, you know, I mean he's he's

602
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 1: had a really good season. He's he's a rookie quarterback

603
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: who's had his ups and downs. But I'm not trusting

604
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: my playoff life to him unless the matchup is absolutely perfect.

605
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: If he was playing Jacksonville this week, I'd be like, oh, man,

606
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: I mean he was a starting for me last week

607
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: because of the matchup. Um, but I don't know if

608
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: I trust him against the Jets on the road like

609
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: this is his next three weeks, the Jets at the

610
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: at the Jets at the Patriots home against Houston, Like,

611
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm really touching him for any

612
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: of those game. Um. If I could make a case

613
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: for Marcus Mariota, it would be the fact that where

614
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: what else can they do? Um? They have been totally

615
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: ineffective running the ball, and it's almost like, all right, kid,

616
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: carry us, and they're putting a lot on his plate.

617
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I'll tell you what, man. He has responded, well, Um,

618
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: that's the only That's the only thing I would say.

619
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: I get that the Jets tough matchup. I mean, hard

620
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: to trust him playoff lives on the line on the

621
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: road against the Jet that's tough, man. But you know what,

622
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: if there's a rookie who could do it, I think

623
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: it's him. I really do. I love the fact that

624
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: he got out there and ran a little bit. Um,

625
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: hopefully we see a little bit more of that. Uh.

626
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about a guy who looks like

627
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: a gazelle out there that at that ninety yard run,

628
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: those strides he was taken. That was a thing of

629
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: absolute beauty. You know. It's it's funny too, because I

630
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: was thinking about this as I was laid up, you know,

631
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: watching watching the games. So I hope, I hope this

632
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: comparison does not come to fruition. But do you remember

633
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: all the same things that you just said. We're what

634
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: we were saying about Robert Griffin the third in his room.

635
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: I know, I think Mariotte is going to be a

636
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: really good NFL quarterback. But it's it's one of those

637
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: things where in the moment, you know, we think, wow,

638
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: satness at some point, some of these players that we

639
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: are seeing greatness from now, we're going to disappoint us

640
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: next year. And I know the playoffs, I don't need

641
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: to look forward, but I did find I did find

642
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: that Wow. We all were so in love with r G.

643
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: But Mariotte has looked really good, especially lately, and if

644
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: they ever get him any wider Seeversten, watch out alright's true,

645
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: that's true. He's coming along. He's coming. He's looks like

646
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: a tight end out there. He's a big dude. He's

647
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: a big boy. He's not Eddie Lacy big, but he's big.

648
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: He is Calvin Johnson big. He's big. That's a big

649
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 1: about a running back too. They could use one of those.

650
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: They they've been Uh Tyrod Taylor, I know the Fantasy

651
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: Stronghold has been uh incredibly high on Tyrod Taylor. Um,

652
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: and he has not disappointed over the last few weeks.

653
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: Three straight matchups with the NFC East coming up. Hello,

654
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: I'll take it all day that the NFC least. I

655
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: will take that all day long. Um. And I think

656
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: it's interesting too. His production and Sammy Watkins's production have

657
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: really been tied together. Uh, Sammy Watkins has played better.

658
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: We're not seeing the drops. We're seeing him make more

659
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: plays in the air about time, right. A few weeks ago,

660
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: I was telling people trade for him, not not and

661
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: he he was horrible at the Harmy. Um, but it

662
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: was more about the schedule, Like the schedule for him

663
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: is really good coming up. I mean he's got a

664
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: great matchup this week against Philadelphia unbelievable. He's gonna really

665
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: help you in the fantasy playoffs if you were able

666
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,479
Speaker 1: to acquire him or draft him or whatever the case

667
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: may be. But um, I mean, I was expecting his

668
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: numbers to start moving northward like this week. He's even

669
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: surprised me because he's done it against some you know,

670
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense. Going into that game, they were playing

671
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: really well. Yeah, right, exactly, they've they've been They've been

672
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: given up a lot of points. But no, you're right, uh,

673
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, if you were looking, if you were to

674
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: look at the last four weeks, really yeah, yeah, has

675
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: been really good, especially against wide receivers. Were so weird,

676
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: so up and down. That Kansas City Chiefs team. It's hard.

677
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: It's likest too. They don't know what you're gonna get.

678
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: They made an adjustment though, in that Sady Watkins took

679
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: him to task in the first half, but he didn't

680
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: have a catch in the second. The Chief's defense is

681
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: still very good. They got got a little bit in

682
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: the beginning, but they corrected and that's the secondary bounds

683
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: right back again this past week and kind of ripped apart.

684
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: Poor Derek Carr. And by the way, we're talking about

685
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. You know a little bit earlier that

686
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: Chief's defense could end up being one of the best

687
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: midseason pickups in fantasy football. They have bald out. I

688
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: mean bald out. I mean what did they have seventeen

689
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: points last week? Points are points no matter where. That's

690
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: why I traded for Stephen Gostkowski. We don't even though

691
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: it hasn't really worked out for me so far, um

692
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: because points are points. And right now, even though I

693
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: loved to stream defenses, I was able to grab the

694
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense in a few leagues. They are in my lineup.

695
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 1: They're staying in my lineup, not messing with Sego, Matt

696
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: Shop and then Johnny Man's dude, I meant that's like,

697
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, you get the two hundred points for writing

698
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: your name's pencilan six points for the pick six and Ohio.

699
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: Last night when we were we were having drinks. It

700
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: was with Dennis, one of the guys from our research team,

701
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: and he said, oh, since twelve or something like that. Uh,

702
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: Matt Shop is second in pick six is thrown. Philip

703
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: Rivers is first, but he's had like way more games.

704
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: He's had like fifteen or six d past attempts match

705
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: job has had like four hundred second and pick sixes. Dude,

706
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: it's like every single week, I mean week it's like

707
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: a joke. It is kind of like a comedy, right

708
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: because like like even like one last week, it's the

709
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 1: ball gets tipped up in the air, it comes down

710
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: in the hands of alignman who runs it in. I mean,

711
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: it is in America's number one comedy right now. And so, uh,

712
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: we keep the street going. Guess Seattle's defense is going

713
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: to be ranked number one this week? Yeah, I would imagine, so,

714
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: I would imagine. So, um up, we should we should

715
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: move on some of these recency buys. Alright, a lot

716
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: of time on QB's Buck Allen. He obviously had an

717
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: amazing I mean in PPR he at thirty five points. Dude,

718
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: it was crazy. But do you believe in him moving forward? Uh?

719
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean what else do they have? I don't like

720
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: the matchup this week. I can promise you that I

721
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: don't like. I mean, if you're in a PPR league,

722
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how you bend them. You can't. I

723
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: don't know how you bench him. I really don't. All right,

724
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about Todd Gurley. Last last two weeks seven

725
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: points total, not per game total. I mean, I feel like,

726
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, we should have like a good will hunting

727
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: moment here, Todd. It's not your fault, it's not your fault.

728
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: And then he just goes crying. Because if you're in

729
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: opposing defense, if you're an opposing defense and you're scheming

730
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: for the Rams, what's the one thing you feel like

731
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: you have to do. Let's just stop Todd Gurley. You know,

732
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: Case Keenum, McK foles, those guys aren't gonna beat us.

733
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 1: So we're gonna load up the box and we're gonna

734
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: stop Todd Gurley. And I think that has been the

735
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 1: downfall of the Rams offense, Todd Gurley the last because

736
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: they didn't I don't know, but I guess they thought

737
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 1: Girley is just gonna run all over the whole league

738
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: because they have not done anything creative offensively. Uh, when

739
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: you're going to case Keenum as a solution, you know

740
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: you're in trouble. They also just fired the only offensive

741
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: coordinator who has been able to do anything with the

742
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: second best player on their offense, and that's Tavon Austin.

743
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: It's a listen man, al right. So what do you

744
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: do and the matchup? Where do you rank Todd Girl

745
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: the matchup this week? I mean, like I don't even know.

746
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Listen, I'm in a league where I

747
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: have Girly, D'Angelo, Latavius Murray and Rawls. So what are

748
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: you doing? I am seriously considering benching him this week?

749
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: Seriously considerate. I have gir When I did my preliminary

750
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: rankings last night, and they always changed throughout the week,

751
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: because like doing your rankings on Monday, is you know

752
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: you have a dangerous thing? Yes, I had Gurly outside

753
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: my top twenty. Who so he's not even RB two.

754
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, and you look at the matchup. The Lions

755
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: have been really good against the run lately. They really

756
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: have been so um listen, it's it's it's funny. I

757
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: tweeted this out on Sunday. Um maybe five weeks ago,

758
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: everyone everyone in the world of fantasy football agreed that

759
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley was the number one overall pick next year.

760
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: I just think it's Levan Bell, but I mean it

761
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: might be because you know Bell is what we all

762
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: know he is. I mean, this guy is a beast.

763
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: He's just got the knee injuries that have that have

764
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 1: hindered him in the last couple of years. But if

765
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: the Rams don't do something to fix the offensive line

766
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: get a quarterback, I don't know if you can do

767
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: that all in one offseason. There's not enough good quarterbacks

768
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: on the planet. Okay, Um Girly could find himself being

769
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: in a situation like we've seen with Jeremy Hill. Right,

770
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill overall this year has been pretty disappointing. He's

771
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: had a handful of good games, but he hasn't been

772
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: worth that first or second run pick. Absolutely Odd Girly

773
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: outside of the top twenty. I mean, he's had like

774
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: twenty one, But like there were a lot of guys

775
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: that I would feel much more comfortable with playing ahead

776
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: of Um. I. I I let me ask you what This

777
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: is the point I would make about Todd Gurley two,

778
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: because even when he was going off for long stretches

779
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 1: of the game, he would be contained and he would

780
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: just break off fifty yard runs and then then he

781
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: would start getting it going right. Um, he just hasn't

782
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: been able to do that. He's a guy right now

783
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: as a rookie coming off of a major, major knee injury.

784
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: He needs that big play to get going. At least

785
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: that's what it's that in this small sample size that

786
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: we've seen, that's what we need. I don't know if

787
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: that's true. It's helped him have better Fantasy days, but

788
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: he's still like even prior prior to their quarterback play

789
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: nose diving, even in like that game against Green Bay.

790
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the box car right now. He had

791
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty nine yards. It took him like thirty

792
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,479
Speaker 1: two carries to get there, but he fought hard for

793
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: every yard, like he is still super talented. But how

794
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: many of those yards came in the fourth quarter? Though

795
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: not not only only like fifty of them on on

796
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: the thing he had. He had had like a hundred

797
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: yards beforehand before the one fifty yard run, and he

798
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: like he earned every one of them, and like the

799
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: game against Cleveland, it wasn't just a huge run. Uh So,

800
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: I think the trouble is he's also just not getting

801
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: the volume now because people are shutting him down early

802
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: and then getting up behind. And when you when you're

803
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: down seventeen zero, you can't you can't establish the run.

804
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: You gotta try and move the ball. So that's like

805
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: girly had nine carries last week. Oh boy, sad. It

806
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: makes me sad. All right, let's talk about with some

807
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers. How about the first and foremost. Can we

808
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: talk about Doug Baldwin? Oldwin five touchdowns over here here

809
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: reminds me like the situation reminded me of Rothburger last

810
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: year because he had like the six touchdown game and

811
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: then you're thinking, yeah, he's not doing that, No way

812
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: he could do that. And guess what, he did it again.

813
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: And so like you know, Baldwin had the huge game

814
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: two weeks ago and you're thinking, are you no, not

815
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. I don't know. So now of course

816
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: he's playing the Ravens who have one of the worlds

817
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: And do you know I have like, you know, twenty

818
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: three yards or something. I don't know since since his

819
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: bye week. I think that's when they kind of rejiggered

820
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: the Seattle offense because his three highest yardage totals have

821
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 1: all come in the four games since the bayeay. Also,

822
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: six of his eight touchdowns have come in the four

823
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: games since the Bay. By the way, uh, he is

824
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 1: what why he's the wide receiver twelve? Now the game

825
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: he has rocket sky rocketed sky row let's look quick

826
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: on the season. Doug Baldwin is the one too, three four, five, six, seven,

827
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: eight nine twelve wide receiver twelve Wow, insane, He's one

828
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: point Eric Decker now, because what's happening? Happening and listen,

829
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: listen to the numbers he's put up okay, three and

830
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 1: a half points. Week three, three and a half points,

831
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 1: he had nine six, seven to three one nine three

832
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: five okay, not even on the radar, and then the

833
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: last four weeks he's had nineteen plus three times unbelievable.

834
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: That's that's crazy. More more receiving touchdowns than Calvin Johnson, A. J. Green,

835
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: Jarvis Brown, Crab TREEO Jones, Julio Jones. He's got more

836
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: touchdowns than Julio Jones. I mean even keep in mind

837
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. It's been it's been a it's been a

838
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: minute having kind of touchdowns since Week eight, it's been

839
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: a minute. It's been a while because he's more touchdowns

840
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: thin Davante Adams. No, all right, so do we believe

841
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: in Doug Baldwin movie? I mean playing the rations. This

842
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: week you mentioned how they got a great favorable s

843
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: going down the stretch. If it sounds like some of

844
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: us are confused, it's because we are, because this season

845
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: has been so nuts. You know. It's like new Copkins

846
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: is playing against the Saints. He's gonna go off. He's

847
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: gonna go six points. Doug Baldwin, boy, he's been awful

848
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: all year. Now he's twelfth and fantasy points among wide receivers.

849
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: It's been a nutty, nutty, unpredictable season, uh for for

850
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: a lot of us fantasy analysts out there. I know

851
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: I've seen more gray hair this season, that's for sure. Alright,

852
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: gayl Hard, what do you do with Doug Baldwin? I

853
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: think you can start him. He's a he's on that

854
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: wide receiver three flex like even maybe wide receiver two

855
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: range moving forward. I think he's a good flex option

856
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: only because you know, again, I would imagine the floor

857
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: is isn't great, as we've seen with some of his

858
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: horrible games, but he's in the flex. You love a

859
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: guy who could give you twenty points. And he's, like

860
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: we talked about, like the passing game volume. He's seen

861
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: oh just shive of the total targets in the Seattle

862
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: offense since the bye, So that is that is nice? Alright,

863
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: So flip side of the coin, big name, not a

864
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: lot of production. Julio Jones just fifteen points over his

865
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: last two Yeah, and he's got Norman this week and

866
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: for two of the next. He got two of you

867
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: over the next three weeks, for the next three weeks.

868
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 1: But how in the world do you ben, Julio Jones?

869
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you could, I mean you could do it.

870
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: I actually was shocked because I was watching some of

871
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: that game, the Carolina game. Cookman actually well Cooks, Cooks

872
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: didn't beat Norman on the touchdown, but Norman got beat

873
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: on the Coleman touchdown. So I was a little bit

874
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: surprised there. But um boy, I'll tell you something. This

875
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: is why. And I know Marcus had talked about this.

876
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: I talked about this, Matt money Smith talked about this

877
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: that before the trade deadline, a lot of us were like, dude,

878
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: get a king's ransom for Jones now, because in the

879
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: two weeks in the Fantasy playoffs, when you're scratching your

880
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: head and whether or not you should be starting him

881
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: against the Panthers, you are going to feel a whole

882
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: heck of a lot better not having to make that

883
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 1: decision and and you have to play him. But boy,

884
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something. I mean, Norman's he's He's cut

885
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: down just about everyone everyone. And I'm not talking about

886
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: uh curtain jerkers in mid card jobbers. I'm talking about

887
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: some of the elite in this league have done zip

888
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: against Josh. I know, I was shocked to see production

889
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: out of Brandon Cooks. I mean I know that the

890
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: long touchdown he caught was not on Josh Norman. They

891
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: started moving him around, um and yeah, but still he Cooks. Hey,

892
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: he was my breakout guy. He was a breakout candidate

893
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: for a lot of people around here. And uh, you

894
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: know him and Alan Robinson were both big names. But

895
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: Cooks is I mean, he's on pace right now for

896
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns. Pretty good, It's pretty good. I like it.

897
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: Uh what, Marcus, what do you do with Julio jo

898
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: I know you've been, you know, just preaching to the

899
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: high heavens get rid of Julio Jones. Yeah, um, I

900
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: mean you're playing him like fabs that. I mean, you've

901
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: got a guy like Julio Jones who has the ability

902
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: to break out at any time. It's hard to put

903
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: him on your bench, especially because they're still throwing the

904
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: football to him. The problem is the Falcon's offense has

905
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: been a mess rey terrible. I mean, I mean, in

906
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: real football terms, they are They've played their way out

907
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: of a playoff spot, right, Um, so it's hard to

908
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: trust him. But again, like if if you leave Julio

909
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: Jones on your bench and he goes off for twenty

910
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: five points, which he has the ability to do at

911
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: any time, you're gonna be kicking yourself. But it's just

912
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: the matchups don't favor him. The offense is playing bad.

913
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: Everything that's trending down. Where do you guys got him ranked?

914
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: That's probably a better question week. Yeah, I think I

915
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: had him around ten. Yeah, I mean he's in the

916
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: bottom bottom part of my top ten. I haven't even

917
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: looked at my rankings yet. I've actually got a right startment,

918
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, coming coming off my my my bronchitis. Sure. Yeah,

919
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: I haven't even done rankings yet, But I mean there's

920
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: no way he's out of my top twenty. There's no way.

921
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: So high alert, Julie Jones. We'll have to we're getting

922

923
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: punt the Fantasy Playoff discussion until Friday. Okay, but I

924
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,840

1000
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: to spinning class. Went to spinning class, uh yesterday with

1001
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: the wife. If if you are in a long term

1002
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: relationship at some point, I would imagine at some point. Well,

1003
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: I guess if you're in southern California too, because I

1004
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: guess they don't do too much spinning, and I don't know.

1005
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 1: Io y I guess, but um, that's just my assumption.

1006
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I don't even know. I

1007
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,240
Speaker 1: don't even know where it is on a map. So whatever,

1008
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: who cares Southern California. If you're in a long term relationship,

1009
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: at some point, your girl's gonna try to rope you

1010
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: into spin class. Gentlemen, let me tell you. Um, I

1011
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 1: would say, do it to be a good boyfriend slash husband,

1012
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: But beyond high alert, your nether regions get smashed, and also,

1013
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: for some reason, your feet feel like they're about to

1014
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: break in half. Spinning is not enjoyable. I don't understand

1015
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: how anyone does it. I mean, any guy does it.

1016
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: You're dark parts get hurt. It is not enjoyable. Did

1017
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: you have to take an ice bath after spinning class? Dude?

1018
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: It was so not cool. And you know, my wife's like,

1019
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 1: oh man, what a great cardio worker. I was like,

1020
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know. I am in so much pain in

1021
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: other places other than my lungs. I don't know what

1022
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 1: is hurting right now, so undapp to spinning class. And
