1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, October fifteen, one twenty four.

2
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, right, I didn't

3
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: come up with anything forever to start us off with me.

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: Your man MG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F.

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: Flooryo and Lakwan Jones, and we are turning the page

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: from week six and getting ready to go to week seven. Lakwan,

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: through six weeks, how much do we think we know

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: about fantasy football?

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 3: We know a little bit more better than what we

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: knew about three weeks ago. Like we're on the cusp

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: of like where we're right, we're wrong, Like we're still

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: trying to figure things out. But I think we're in

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: a good spot most for most of our takes.

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, Florida were feeling good about our takes

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: through six weeks.

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 4: I'm feeling better about my takes than my own fantasy teams.

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 4: I'll say that.

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: Our own advice, my takes are hit or miss my teams.

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: After a rough start to the season, they're finally starting

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: to come around, which basically the players that I believed

22
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: in are starting to either you know, get healthy, get hot,

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: or whatever.

24
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: So I'm feeling better about some of my priors.

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: You know, I just wish that I hadn't started like,

26
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, zero to four or one and three in

27
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: a few leagues, because now we climb is steep, yep to.

28
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: The back to where I want to go. It's rough anyway.

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: On today's show, we got some big questions heading into

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: week seven and beyond. Also some waiver wire deep dives

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: and folks we are putting back into the free agency pool.

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: But let's get started with some of the big questions,

33
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: things that we thought we'd learned after Week six and

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: Florio in the NF or the AFC East. Rather, the

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: Patriots turned to their rookie quarterback Drake May and ended

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: up statistically with a pretty good day. Had three touchdown passes.

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: A lot of them came late when the game was

38
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: pretty much in control for the Houston text.

39
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: But with what you saw, is Drake May going to

40
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: be a thing this year?

41
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: Yeah? Like he is not going to be a quarterback

42
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 4: that you just set and forget in your lineup. But

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 4: I do think there's upside here where he could become

44
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 4: someone that you start weekly or at the very worst,

45
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 4: someone that you stream at the right matchups and stuff.

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 4: Two hundred and forty three passing yards, I know, two interceptions,

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 4: but three touchdowns. And then he led the Patriots with

48
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 4: thirty eight rushing yards, and that is something that I

49
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 4: do not think gets enough talking point, like he can run,

50
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: he adds value with his legs and this, yeah, you

51
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 4: could say it came in a blowout. Most Patriot games

52
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: are going to be blowouts this year. And then it

53
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 4: was a very difficult opponent, like the Texans defense is

54
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 4: legit next week a little bit. I know it's in

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 4: London when the Jacks have already been there, but it's

56
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 4: a soft landing spot with the Jags. So I don't

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 4: know if I'm gonna be plugging him in and starting

58
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 4: him in any of my teams, but like two quarterback

59
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 4: leagues for sure. Oh you could take a shot on

60
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 4: him there.

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

62
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: I was putting together my list of names for the

63
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: Sleepers column this week, and that matchup against the Jaguar

64
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: stood out to me. May definitely a candidate for two

65
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: QB leagues, I guess, maybe really deep leagues. I don't

66
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: know if you're in like a sixteen team league or

67
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: something like that. Drake May is definitely a candidate, but

68
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, the rushing yards or going to be

69
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: what's key for him going forward. Lakwan, Mark Andrews scored

70
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: a real life, honest to goodness touchdown in a National

71
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: Football League regular season game. It seemed impossible after the

72
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 1: first five weeks of the season, but here we are.

73
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: So does this mean Mark Andrews is back?

74
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: Yes, things are starting to heat up. I mean when

75
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: you're looking at a route share, the back to back

76
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: weeks of a healthy one where he's actually being targeted.

77
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: When he's out there running those routes, he's not just

78
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: cardio king anymore. You know, he's going out there and

79
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: actually earning these targets. And I think for the next

80
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, this is something where Mark Andrews starts

81
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: to heat up as it gets colder outside. I think

82
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: this is where we kind of are thankful that we

83
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: sat tight and not just dump them to the wire.

84
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: But I really think, you know, once the weeks progress,

85
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: we're going to start seeing him get more red zone

86
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: looks because Isaiah likely you saw that one red zone

87
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: you know, target that he had last week. I mean

88
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 3: last week that Lamar Jackson kind of just outright missed him,

89
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: but when the next play happened, Mark Andrews ended up

90
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 3: connecting getting that touchdown, And I think Lamar Jackson and

91
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: Mark Andrews are back as the duo that we knew

92
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: they were.

93
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it was nice to see the four targets there,

94
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: still behind likely in terms of snaps, but a lot

95
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: more rout participation for Mark Andrews.

96
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: The target numbers were up, so maybe I mean, look.

97
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: I know we have the car accident in the offseason

98
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: and the Ravens said it wasn't a big deal, but

99
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: you do kind of have to wonder with the way

100
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: they've used him, maybe it was a bigger deal than

101
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: they were letting you on and maybe just maybe he's

102
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: starting to come back around after that Ah Florio in

103
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Spencer Ratler gets the start and it was

104
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: up and down. There were some good moments, there were

105
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: some frustrating moments.

106
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: In the end. Saints ended up losing big and.

107
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Are now kind of in a bit of a free

108
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: fall with this team after a quick start to the season.

109
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: But we talked about Drake May and the fact that

110
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: you could use him in two quarterback situations with Derek

111
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: Carr out for at least a week or two more.

112
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: Is Spencer Rattler a viable streaming start for anybody?

113
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 4: I don't think so. Two hundred and forty three yards

114
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: of passing, touchdown, two inns and twenty seven rushing yards.

115
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 4: I see that there's potential there. I think if you're

116
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: in a two quarterback league and you've been weak at

117
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 4: your second quarterback spot or something like that, you could

118
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: go ahead.

119
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: And add him.

120
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: But he gets the Broncos on a short week with

121
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 4: likely without Chrystal Lava, and I know that Broncos are

122
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 4: likely without Pat Certan, but still a very tough matchup,

123
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 4: probably going to be a low scoring one, not one

124
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 4: that I'm interested in really getting much pieces of that

125
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 4: game at all into my fantasy lineup, Like obviously you

126
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,119
Speaker 4: start having Kamara, But besides that, there's not many Saints

127
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 4: I feel great about, and on the other side, there's

128
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 4: how many Broncos I feel great about? So uh yeah,

129
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 4: maybe just an upside shot you take in a two

130
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 4: quarterback league, but not one that you gotta plug into

131
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 4: your lineup right away.

132
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

133
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask about that, la Quand I mean

134
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: the Chris o'lave left with a concussion on Sunday. Will

135
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: see what his status is we get further into the week,

136
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean, is there anybody else, I mean, someone named

137
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: bub Means caught a touchdown in this past week. I'm

138
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: still not convinced that this is a real person, but

139
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: the Internet is telling me that it is. I mean,

140
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: anybody here that you could make a case for.

141
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: With Ratler at quarterback, b Means definitely is real, and

142
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 3: I think the connection between him and Ratler is real

143
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 3: as well. I mean, like, honestly, I was really tuned

144
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: into this Saints Bucks game, and like I honestly was

145
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: watching it more than the Ravens Commanders game. Not saying

146
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: that game wasn't great, but you kind of see the

147
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 3: frequency of this offense at Rattler in there, and Bud

148
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 3: Means was that frequency frequency of getting that offense to

149
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 3: be able to go downfield? And you kind of have

150
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: to think, like, were these guys connecting a lot in

151
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: summer camp and summer camp over in camp in mini camp,

152
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: and I feel like it was definitely transitioning to what

153
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 3: we saw on the field last week. And I think,

154
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 3: you know what means, He's a player. Man, he's real

155
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: and I think he could be an option. Chrysol lobby

156
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: is going to be missing some time.

157
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not totally wrong, right. It happens in

158
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: the summer. They go, they sleep in dorms, they do

159
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: outdoor activities. They have seen building exercises like you.

160
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: Know, marshmallows and stuff.

161
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: Right, it's summer camp in its own way.

162
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I hear about guys like getting together playing

163
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: video games.

164
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: It's like that. You know, they probably sing songs too.

165
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: Somewhere along the way. I don't know, maybe baby, they

166
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: could maybe a little kickball eat they eat.

167
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: The eating caffet ceias like you're really onto something here.

168
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: Maybe we should just start calling it summer camp.

169
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna call it summer camp now up.

170
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: From here on out, It's now summer camp. Everybody.

171
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: Let's dive into some deep waiver Wire dives. Here for

172
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: more of our waiver Wire stuff. Of course, you can

173
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: check out our Monday show and you go and subscribe

174
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: and have that show up in your feed every week.

175
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: Of course, there is.

176
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: Also the waiver Wire column you can find IDNFL dot

177
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: com slash waiver Wire. But lakwan if we are diving

178
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: deep and trying to find help for folks. So where

179
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: it is thin, who should somebody take a look at?

180
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: Top priority? If you're a Jordan Mason shareholder, just based

181
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 3: on Isaiah Grendo's performance last week, I mean, it's an

182
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: obvious plug and play situation here. It's a Kyle Shanahan system,

183
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: So you want one of these running backs back there

184
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: that are going to be explosive and make the big plays.

185
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: And I think he could honestly house that one. But

186
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: you know, it's for the game. You know, he kind

187
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: of sat sat down on that. But I really think

188
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: if Jordan Mason is going to be week to week,

189
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 3: you need somebody out of that backfield because they're obviously

190
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 3: going to perform at a high level. So it doesn't

191
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 3: really matter who they put back there. I'm pretty sure

192
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: you put me back there. I could put up fifty yards.

193
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: Like that's how great this Kyle Shanahan running game is.

194
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: I mean it has been great.

195
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean to the point that I was like, well,

196
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: if I started looking on Thursday night and Friday, oh

197
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: what happens if Jordan Masonye, this is some time. I'm like,

198
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: is Patrick Taylor going to be a deep dive waiver

199
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: wire option. I mean, that's that's sort of where we are.

200
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: It sounds like it may not be that serious that

201
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: the Mason should be available coming up this week against

202
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. But you know, you're right Kyle Shanahan running back.

203
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: It just feels like, all right, well you got at

204
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: least give him a shot because that's just sort of

205
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: how things we go.

206
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: You think I could put a fifty yards back there?

207
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: I mean I think I could no.

208
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: Straight because I think you can put up like a

209
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 4: successful first run. How are you getting up after getting hit?

210
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 4: That's the question.

211
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, well, the point is not to

212
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 2: get hit.

213
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 3: I'm trying to take a fifty yard to the house.

214
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 2: Twitter.

215
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: Twitter does this. Twitter does this argument like once a month,

216
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: Like what are we doing? Like, No, Florida, who is

217
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: your waiver wire deep dive this week?

218
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 4: Mine is a player that I'm I'm guessing a lot

219
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: of our listeners either just learned or maybe still haven't

220
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 4: ever heard of. But Grant cal Kata the backup tight

221
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 4: end behind Dallas Goddard on the Philadelphia Eagles because Dallas

222
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 4: Goddard was ruled out very early in this game with

223
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 4: a hamstring injury and the quickness of how they were

224
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: just like, yeah, he's not coming back.

225
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: That worries me.

226
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 4: And if we've seen hamstring injuries linger this season, AJ

227
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 4: Brown being one. So if Goddard missed his time and

228
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 4: you're in a deep league or you're just in a

229
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 4: pinch at tight end, don't overlook the fact that cal

230
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 4: Kata was second on the Eagles in targets. He tied

231
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: DeVonta Smith with four targets. AJ Brown had nine, but

232
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 4: he was second with four catches and with sixty seven yards.

233
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 4: That's double digit fantasy points, which for a tight end

234
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 4: in a PPR league, like you could do a whole

235
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 4: lot worse than that. Obviously the floor is low, and

236
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 4: this was like an in game adjustment and stuff. But

237
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 4: I play in some deep leagues where I need tight

238
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 4: ends and he is a name that I I look,

239
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 4: it's him or it's like even like Tyler Conklin is

240
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 4: rostered in these leagues, So yeah, you're getting real deep.

241
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think he is a deep tight end

242
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 4: that you could take a flyer on if Dallas Goddard

243
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 4: misses time.

244
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's definite something to keep an eye

245
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: on because you know, it's nice to see the tight

246
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: ends start to produce a little bit more.

247
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 2: But now potentially losing Dallas Goddard is a hit.

248
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you could try like Jatavian Sanders

249
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: or something, but yeah.

250
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the it's not a bad option, but the offense.

251
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm picking between offenses, I'd rather have

252
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: a piece of the Eagles offense than the Panthers offense

253
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: at this point. So I know a lot this offseason,

254
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: a lot of us were big on Camani Vidal. I

255
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: drafted him in a lot of spots, especially in Best

256
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: Ball leagues, only to see him be a healthy scratch

257
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: for the first few weeks of the season with Gus

258
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: Edwards out. In Week six, Vidal got his opportunity. First

259
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: time he touches the ball in the NFL game, he

260
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: scores a touchdown on a wheel route, looking very Austin

261
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: Eckler ish out there.

262
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: Wearing the number thirty.

263
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: You gotta a shorter guy, maybe a little bit chunkier

264
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: than Austin Eckler, but I just had Eckler vibes with

265
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: him getting those opportunities. We'll keep an eye on Edwards's

266
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: situation see what how serious his injury is and how

267
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: long it's going to keep him out. And look, understand

268
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: that right now JK. Dobbins has that RB one spot

269
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: on lock. He looked very good this past week against

270
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, so he's.

271
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: Not getting moved out of that.

272
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: But maybe what we saw out of a down means

273
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: there's a chance for him to get more touches. I

274
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: think a lot of us believe he would get those opportunities.

275
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: But then again, we all believe that thinking that JK.

276
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: Dobbins might not have much left in the tank, So

277
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: maybe we have to sort of reevaluate a little bit.

278
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: But if you are in need of a running back,

279
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: and if Gus Edwards is not going to be healthy

280
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: anytime soon, comminey. But that looks like he's gonna have

281
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: some real opportunity for Jim Harbos team in Los Angeles.

282
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: So as always, if we are adding folks, we were

283
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: also saying goodbye to people.

284
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: Good the Quand moment.

285
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: We love a moment of silence here for you because

286
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: this is I know this is a hard this is

287
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: a hard day for you.

288
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: So a moment of silence for the Quand at the moment.

289
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: This is terrible, Like I didn't even want to write

290
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 3: this on the show dot Like it's coming to reality,

291
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: Like the bulldozers are approaching Doorschlane, Like we are not

292
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: paying rent this month. We are going to just everything

293
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 3: down because Greg dorts can no longer be on my roster.

294
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: It's painful at this point because the sickening in me.

295
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: I keep going to him when I have a wide

296
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: receiver that's questionable or a wide receiver that's out with

297
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: an injury. I'm like, all right, Greg, you got me

298
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 3: this week. And no, there's a guy named Xavier Weaver

299
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: out snapping him right now, and I'm like, yeah, the

300
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: bulldozers they're here. The dorschlane is done.

301
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: Savior Weaver, who you know, had had a nice season

302
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: last year at Colorado, I mean he was you know, Oh,

303
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean here's look, I mean like overshadowed, overshadowed of

304
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: Colorado by Travis Hunter and shruduer standards. But that was

305
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: one of their better receivers. And now here's to be

306
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: pushing Greg Dortsch to the side. It is tough day, man,

307
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: Like nobody wants to admit that, you know, one of

308
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: their hot takes.

309
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: Was wrong.

310
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: So I'm proud of you for admitting it. I understand

311
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: it's a you know, we respect your privacy during this

312
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: difficult time for sure, for sure than you.

313
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: Wow.

314
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: I honestly you would think I looked at the show

315
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: sheet before, like we actually did the show. But this,

316
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: like I saw this, I've just seen this for the first.

317
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: Time, Flora. This caught me up off guard a little bit.

318
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 4: I I originally so the name is DeAndre Hopkins. I

319
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: originally had Calvin Ridley, who impressively put up zeros across

320
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 4: the board on eighth targets, but then he came out

321
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 4: and he had some fiery words. Is like, yeah, maybe

322
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 4: there's a Squeaky Wheel game in his future. Although he

323
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 4: had eight targets, so I mean they at least threw

324
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 4: him the ball. De hop has outproduced Calvin Ridley, but

325
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: the floor is insanely low right now for both of

326
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 4: these guys, and we really haven't seen much upside out

327
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 4: of Hopkins yet. I still can can convince myself that

328
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 4: there's some upside of here with Calvin Ridley. But I

329
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 4: think the answer is you just don't want any part

330
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 4: of the Titans passing game right now, Like coming into

331
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 4: this summer. I know I spoke up Will Levis. I know,

332
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 4: uh like I don't want to say anyone else did,

333
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 4: but other people as well.

334
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,239
Speaker 5: I don't want to under the bus, but we believed,

335
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 5: and I know we were, like Will Levis might not

336
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 5: be good for real life, but he will be good

337
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 5: for fantasy because of the way they let him play

338
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 5: last year, and they just have taken that completely.

339
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 4: Out of his game. Like Will Levis is chaos and

340
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 4: they are trying to control that chaos and it is

341
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 4: just completely backfiring because we're still getting all the bad plays,

342
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 4: but now we're losing all the deep throws and stuff

343
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 4: that he gave us last season. So unless they just

344
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: let him go out and just be complete chaos, which

345
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 4: I think we're closer to seeing Mason Rudolph than we

346
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 4: are that version of Will Levis. That's where we're at

347
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 4: right now, where Mason Rudolph might need to be what

348
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 4: comes in and saves these wide receivers. I just I

349
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 4: don't trust this Titans passing attack at all, and their

350
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: run game in defense being so good makes it even

351
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 4: worse because they stay close in games where they're not

352
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 4: just having to air it out in the second half

353
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 4: like we thought they.

354
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: Might have to.

355
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought this past week was gonna be a

356
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: Will Levis week going against the Colts. I'm like, if

357
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: there's every week for him to get going, this is it.

358
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: And he threw like a touchdown relatively early in the game.

359
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's happening.

360
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: It wasn't happening at all.

361
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 4: I was ready to shout you out, man. I thought

362
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 4: I thought it was happening.

363
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: I thought it was happening.

364
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: Ninety five yard, sixteen completions for ninety five yards. That

365
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: is gross for Will Levs. That's gonna be tough, man.

366
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough for any.

367
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: Of the wide receivers there to do anything. For me.

368
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: I think it's it's probably time to part ways with Jerome.

369
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: Ford suffered an injury on Sunday for the Browns. Right now,

370
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: the reports are he's going to be weak to weak

371
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: and looming in the distance is one Nicholas Jamal Chubb

372
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: ready to come back and start running the football for

373
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: the Browns. Look, mind you, when Chubb comes back, I

374
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect him to get a full workload, but he's

375
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: gonna get enough opportunity and as he continues to get

376
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: healthier and stronger, he's going to get more and more touches.

377
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: There's gonna be less and less room for Jerome Ford

378
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: to get opportunities. But again having having him miss time

379
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: is also suboptimal.

380
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: By the way.

381
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: You can also if you haven't said goodbye to deioncee Foreman,

382
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: you could have done that a while ago too. So

383
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: what I mean, can you can? You cannot have him

384
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: anymore too too. That's that's also a possibility.

385
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: Here with Chubb coming back.

386
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: It's just it's hard to see room for enough guys

387
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: there in Cleveland, and especially with the offense being so

388
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: bad right now, It's just it's hard for multiple guys

389
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: to be successful in that Browns offense for sure.

390
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: So there you go. Those are the guys that we

391
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: are all putting back on the waiver wire.

392
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: In the meantime, we're gonna hang it up at least

393
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: for a day or so and then come back with

394
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: you for the Wednesday show. That will do it for

395
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: this edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. They happy,

396
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: safe and healthy, do.

397
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: Good and live well. Enjoy the days, everybody. We'll talk

398
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: to you again tomorrow.
