00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Wow, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: the Fantasy viper Graham Farfield, and uh, we actually just

5
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: had a really fun World Series discussion here. Um, because man,

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: it's been fun. The World Series has actually been really

7
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: fun this year. This is the first time ever that

8
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: a home team is not won a game right and

9
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: through six games and now that actually applies not just

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: a baseball but to all of the four major sports.

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: That's real. The Fox broadcast had it last night was

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: really cool. I didn't know that. I mean, so the

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: NBA and NHL, this has never happened. It's pretty wild.

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: That's amazing. It's been really good, man, it's been really

15
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: really good. Not strange though, Like it's I mean, sports

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: has been going on for a long long time and

17
00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: then this never happened. Guys, one Sodo, one Soto beasts.

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: He's so good. Oh my god, I'm rooting for the Nationals. Man.

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: Just a Yankees fan, who's well, yeah, you Yankee fans,

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: I know have some some pent up frustration, so I

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: get that. Um, I just I just wanted to be entertaining.

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: The first six games have been entertaining. I want game

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: seveny man. I'm just glad. I'm just glad. The umps

24
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: did not absolutely ruin well, the ball didn't end up lying,

25
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: but almost they almost ended up ruining what was a

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: great game. The best part of the last night was

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: literally my entire timeline was just ball, don't lie. Like

28
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: that's all it was after Anthony Rendon HiT's the home run,

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: uh in the seventh inning. So I know that a

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: lot of I didn't come for baseball, don't care. We

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: like it. We're talking about it, but we do the

32
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: point of other stuff to talk about here. As we

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: get going with this podcast on this Wednesday, we'll go

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: with calling it second Acts. I know it's not technically

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,639
Speaker 1: the second half of the fantasy regular season, we're already

36
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: into it by a couple of weeks, but I'm sort

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: of the second half of the fantom of the NFL

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: regular season, and so uh, a handful of guys whether

39
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: they can keep it going that we're surprised is in

40
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: the first half, and whether they can keep being productive

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: in the second half, and some guys that maybe left

42
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: you wanting a little bit more in the first half,

43
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: and whether or not they can get things going in

44
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: the second half with a little round of drop or not.

45
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: Though that list not quite as long this week, because man,

46
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: it's it's getting hard to uh to find places the

47
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: clear room on your roster. Also last answer some of

48
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,359

53
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: what's up? Just to keep continuing. I know, like we're

54
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: talking about the World Series off air, and it was

55
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: just it was a really busy like day news day yesterday,

56
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: between like mid season, the NFL with the trading deadline,

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: you have that going on, so that's always exciting. The

58
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: I know, we're all Game of Thrones fans, a lot

59
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: of news with that. The World Series. It's just like

60
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: it is it is a Halloween's to what tomorrow? Right,

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of one of the best times

62
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: of the year. I was refreshing my Twitter literally every

63
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: five seconds, hoping that Cowboys got tomor light and I

64
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: was refreshing hoping that you would not be. Yeah, so

65
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: I want to see you all to play for the Cowboys,

66
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: if not more, because you and I we are pals,

67
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: but we we part would want to make me happy.

68
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: We're friends. We go hand in hand with the Yankees.

69
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: Cowboy I know, I know, Monday night too, Monday n

70
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: that'll be interesting. But yeah, that's good. Hey, listen, dude,

71
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: we are the team that lost to the Jets, which

72
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: is gonna annoy the hell out of me for the

73
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: rest of my life. Okay, that we lost that garbage team,

74
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: but so anything is possible. I guess maybe we're cursed

75
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: in that stadium this year. That was that was wild man,

76
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Like I still look back on that and like, how

77
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: exactly how old that well Mark Cooper got hurt in

78
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: the middle. It doesn't matter. We should be able to

79
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: beat them without on the road, which this is exactly,

80
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: which is exactly what Jerry Jones said, which basically means

81
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: that just looked, you know, looked past the Jets, is

82
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: what it. Yeah, you know you watch, you watch, So

83
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: I picked up the Jets in a bunch of leagues

84
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: their defense. This week, they're gonna lose that game that

85
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: you watch, They're gonna freaking lose to the Dolphins. I

86
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: think the Dolphins you watch wait wait wait wait wait

87
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: you watch, So you're telling me Jason Garrett overlooked the

88
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: game why he was so prepared for a game shocking. Yeah,

89
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: I do think the Dolphins are gonna beat the gym,

90
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: so do I. I think it's gonna be hilarious. Yeah,

91
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: I really do. And then the Bengals are gonna be uh,

92
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, the only team that's under uh windless. And

93
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: then you go into what what is it Week sixteen

94
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: where the Dolphins are playing the Bell and that will

95
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: be for the number one overall take in the draft.

96
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: Bengals will get the win there and then they'll put

97
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins back in the number one spot. Um yeah,

98
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: I mean Miami has been closed the last couple of weeks.

99
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: They've had some good first halfs. They just haven't been

100
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: able to hold on this. Yeah. Their defense like literally

101
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: just air. Pretty pretty much anybody can run through their

102
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: defense right now. Well, let's hope that because Livin and

103
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: Bell is someone that acquired in the trade, actually two

104
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: trades last week, and it didn't start off so well

105
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: for me. Oh man, all right, so I got playing

106
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: to talk about, So let's do some news. Well we

107
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: will start. It's in Pittsburgh. James Connor left the game

108
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: on Monday night in a sling after running through said

109
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. He's got an ac joint injury. Uh, it's

110
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: got him limited in practice early in the week. My

111
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: FA you said you saw that he is said he's

112
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: taking it, taking a day by day, right, So he

113
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: does a show on the fan, uh ninety three point

114
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: seven in Pittsburgh, and here's a couple of quotes from that.

115
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: With these injuries, they're going to linger for a while.

116
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: That's to be expected. It's kind of just something I

117
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: have to play through. If I can do my range

118
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: of motion with a little bit of strength back, you know,

119
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to tough it out and be available for

120
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: the team. He also stated that he's not panicking. Um,

121
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: so obviously a waivers has already run. Hopefully you were

122
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: able to get Jalen Samuels as insurance because we don't

123
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: know if Connor is going to be available for this

124
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: week's game against the Colton. If he's not in Samuels

125
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: is active, which we would expect him to be he

126
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: ends up being at worst than RB two. Yeah, no,

127
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's the big thing is that

128
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: that he's got a you know, a huge, huge, possible

129
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: workload ahead of him if James Conner is not there.

130
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: And look and grant we saw earlier in the year.

131
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: I mean, the Steelers figured out a way to use

132
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: him and make him productive. So that's that's a nice

133
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: pick up if you're able to get him. They yeah,

134
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: they did, and Jaelen Samuels, I mean, for what it's worth,

135
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: like he he just towards Meniska is a couple of

136
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and the Steelers were not expecting him to

137
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: come back at least from months because he's already bucked.

138
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: He's already bucked that trend. And James Connor, man, can

139
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: we get him through a game health this year? Now?

140
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean he's dealt with quad, knee, ankle injuries, now

141
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: this shoulder thing. And guys, let me just give you

142
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of advice, Okay, and I do this

143
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: in all of my leagues, and um, it's something that

144
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: you should be doing too. So last week on Monday

145
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: before the game, I picked up Jalen Samuel's in the

146
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: league that I have James Conner where he was available,

147
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: and I didn't know Connor was gonna get hurt. Be

148
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: smart with your roster, especially at this time of the year. Say,

149
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: for example, you have two defenses or two kickers, I

150
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 1: don't know why the hell you would have to, Or

151
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: maybe you have a player on your roster that you're

152
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: really not going to use. Pick up somebody's handcuff. Pick

153
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: up Alexander Madison. Okay, go out and get a guy

154
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: who is one injury away from being a fantasy superstar,

155
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: because you never know when that's gonna end up really

156
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: paying dividends for you. And if you were able to

157
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: pick up Jalen last week, look at what you might

158
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: have fallen into. So never have that dead spot on

159
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: your roster. Never have a player, a defensive kick or

160
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: whatever it might be, that you're not going to use

161
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: on that roster. Go out and pick up handcuffs. Do it.

162
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: Pick up Tony Pollard. I mean, it might not work out,

163
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: but if it does, you're looking like a genius. Yeah,

164
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: that's definitely. I mean, I think you know when we're

165
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: when we're talking about handcuffs, you always want to have

166
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: the other guy's handcuff like I hate for the most part,

167
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: I hate handcuffing my running backs because he usually does

168
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: kind of cap your roster upside. Yeah, for sure, there

169
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: you go. Uh in Cincinnati, Happy birthday, Andy Dalton, you

170
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: got benched. Uh, Bengals decide they're gonna go with Ryan

171
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: Finley for the short term at least, I would assume

172
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: that for the rest of this. That was on his birthday,

173
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: his birthday, which you know, like I think we all

174
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: looked at it is, Man, that sucks, you got benched

175
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: on your birthday. But someone actually made the point that,

176
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: you know what, could you imagine like walking into your

177
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: job on your birthday when things aren't going particularly well

178
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: and your boss is like, you know what, just like

179
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the year off. It's fine, Like that's

180
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: basically what happened. It's actually a good point, right is

181
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: that Isn't that a birthday gift? Right? This is sort

182
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: of like, you know what, We're still gonna pay you, man,

183
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: just take the rest of the year off. Paychecks. Those

184
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: paychecks keep coming in. They can say, man, you know

185
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: that that direct deposit still hits every couple of weeks

186
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: right and got a nice little so you know, maybe

187
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: maybe we're looking at this all wrong with Andy Dalton,

188
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: But what it does mean is that he will not

189
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: be playing. It's going to be Ryan Finley, the fourth

190
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: round rookie who will be the starter for the Cincinnati Bengals. Um,

191
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: that's the bad news. The good news is A J.

192
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: Green could be back really soon. Um. I mean, Graham,

193
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to kind of make heads or tails

194
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: of what this means. I mean, I tend to think

195
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: it's it's on the less good side though. Yeah, I

196
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: mean this this was always kind of in the range

197
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: of outcomes, right, is like the Bengals struggle really mightily

198
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: and they have to, uh, maybe just see what they

199
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: have with Ryan Finley. I mean, this team is going

200
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: to be drafting a quarterback very early next year. I

201
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: think that much is clear, and I think it's a

202
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: really smart move on their part to at least see

203
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: what they have in Ryan Finley. Because Andy Dalton is

204
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: third two. Now we know what he is at this

205
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: point in his career, and if A J. Green does

206
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: come back, it'd be nice to have an all Pro

207
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: receiver on the field with Ryan Finley. UM to see

208
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: what he can do. I mean, in the preseason, I

209
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: thought Finnley could play a little bit. Um. I mean,

210
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what they do. It'll be

211
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: interesting to see what what their what their head coach,

212
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: Zack Taylor does in terms of their scheme. But you know,

213
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: this offensive lineman has been their bugaboo all year, and

214
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: and with a rookie quarterback back there, it's it's not

215
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: it's not exactly a situation we want to be exposed

216
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: to in fantasy. I would say this though, And you know,

217
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: in the past when a rookie or an inexperienced quarterback

218
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: has come in, we've always kind of been like, oh man,

219
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: this is bad. But we've seen some young inexperienced quarterbacks

220
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: coming into the league, especially this year, like Gardner Minshew

221
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: comes right to mind, and they've coming and done well.

222
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: And you know, it's not that you know, we don't

223
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: know a whole heck heck of a lot about this quarterback.

224
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: He was a fourth round pick out of North Carolina State,

225
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: UM a lot of potential. I know Daniel Jeremiah had

226
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: had tweeted out that he reminds him of Jared Goff.

227
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's good or bad Sean mcveighan,

228
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: which which got the connection, Who knows? But anyways, it's

229
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: not like I'm rushing to pick him up off the

230
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: waiver wire. But I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say

231
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: that this is a statistical death sentence for everyone in

232
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: that offense just yet. But we'll see. Yeah, I tend

233
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: to be skeptical on this one just because Ryan Finley.

234
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not so much the fourth round pickts

235
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: that you know Gardner Minshew. And maybe it's because I

236
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: watch a lot of Pack twelve football, Like I saw

237
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew sort of developed and become a guy who

238
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: was slinging the rock in that that air raid offense

239
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: that that Mike Leech is running up there in pullman. Uh,

240
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I don't know that. I

241
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: look around and think, man inc he state they got

242
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: a great passing game. Let's say let's jump on that, right,

243
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: We'll see. We will see. Speaking of passing games, Joe Flacco,

244
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: it's like he's gonna be out a while. It could

245
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: be as much as five or six weeks as he

246
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: deals with a neck injury. So Brandon Alan is going

247
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: to step in at least in the short term and

248
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: be the quarterback for the Broncos. Now, you know that

249
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that Drew Lock can't eventually take over somewhere

250
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: down the road. Um, the question is do you really

251
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: want that? It sounds like that's not something people are

252
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: excited about. And Nino fabs you were sort of down

253
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: on Courtland Sutton just because one of mostly of the

254
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: schedule and the prospect of Drew Lock jumping in there.

255
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: I don't imagine this makes you anymore optimists now. I

256
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: mean I had him in one league. I traded him

257
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: for Philip Lindsay, and I love it because, and again,

258
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna gonna sit here and poop

259
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: poo Brandon Allen. You know, guys have been coming in

260
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: and making impacts, But this offense is going to run

261
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: the ball a lot without Emmanuel Sanders. You know, defenses

262
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: are gonna be key on stopping Courtland Sutton. And you know,

263
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: it's just it's sort of like the specter of the

264
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: unknown with this kid. We don't know what he's going

265
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: to come in and do. Maybe he is going to

266
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: come in and he's just gonna funnel vision targets towards

267
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton. That's very possible. But I can tell you

268
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: something right now, as anyone who is out there and

269
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: has Cortland Sutton as bad as Joe Flacco is, you'd

270
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 1: much rather have him throwing footballs to the wide receivers,

271
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: specifically Courtland Sutton, than Brandon now and or Drew Lock

272
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: for sure. Does this mean anything good bad otherwise for

273
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: the running backs? Uh? There, grin yeah. I mean they

274
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: were already running their offense through their running backs pretty

275
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: much with with Freeman and Lindsay splitting carries and then

276
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: they dump off the ball between the two. I won't

277
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: pretend to know anything about Brandon Now excited to see

278
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: what he can do for this offense though, right, I mean,

279
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: because Flacco is kind of the same thing as any Dalton.

280
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: We just we've known what Any Dalton and Joe Flacco

281
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: then for years now. For a while. It's always fun

282
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: to watch new quarterbacks come in and see what they

283
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: can do well. I mean they, I mean, everybody offers

284
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: a different skill set, and it's just like with with Flacco,

285
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: he's just so just he's just dust back there. He

286
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: can't move in the pockets. He just he he can't

287
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: throw the ball down feel consistently anymore. It's just he

288
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: doesn't offer you anything. So I'm actually excited maybe to

289
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: see if Brandon Allan gives him some pop. Okay, well

290
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: we will certainly find out. But at the same time,

291
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: I don't know picking up the Browns defense anyway. And

292
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: you know what, you should actually stream the Broncos too,

293
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: because basics, you know, Mr Turnover, yes you can. I

294
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: have gone through and picked them up. In a UM

295
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: news on Washington, Darius Guys is on track to reportedly

296
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: suit up in week eleven. Uh just had another injury

297
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: at the start of the season and was on injured reserve,

298
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: but he's working his way back. Um, Like, I just

299
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: want to see Darious play. I want to see him

300
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: get on the field and have an opportunity to play.

301
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: We have been robbed of that. He has been robbed

302
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: of that opportunity. But I mean, is it would you

303
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: would you take a chance on him? Would you, you know,

304
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: kind of stash him somewhere in an expectation? Would because

305
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: the same sort of situation, like if you've got a

306
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: spot on your roster that you're not using this dude,

307
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, you have a second kick or second whatever

308
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: the case may be. Why not, I mean, why not

309
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: go out? And I've picked him up in a few

310
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: leagues and I've been in contact with him. He's feeling good.

311
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: And why wouldn't the Redskins, who are I mean miles

312
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: away from ever being a postseason team, why wouldn't they

313
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: see what they have in him? You know, maybe Adrian

314
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: Peterson has looked okay at times, maybe against the Vikings

315
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: that was his kind of last gas, but putting up

316
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: a nice stat line. Why wouldn't the Redskins utilize Darius

317
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: if he's healthy and available? And I certainly what are

318
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: you gonna get off the waiver wire right now? Running back?

319
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean Ty Johnson blew up in all of our

320
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: faces last week. People were picking up Tray Carson this week.

321
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: So you know, unless you got Jalen Samuels or if

322
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: you've got a Mark Walton, for example, there's not much

323
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: out there. Pick him up and see what happens. Man. Yeah,

324
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: I think what we've seen with this these Redskins team,

325
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: now that Bill Callahan is the is the head coaches,

326
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: they want to run the ball. And if guys is

327
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: healthy and that's always the big gift coming off the

328
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: meniscus here. Uh, if if guys is healthy and out there,

329
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: I fully expect him to get at least like fifteen

330
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: twenty carries every game. But it just comes down to,

331
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's the Redskins. Yeah, no, I get it.

332
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's the same thing that we say with

333
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: Mark wall and it's a Dolphins. But guess what, They're

334
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: playing the Jets this week, and a lot of people

335
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: are gonna be flexing Mark Walton. Now, look at the

336
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: schedule here for Darius. Now they have a buy in

337
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: week ten and then potentially he comes back against the Jets,

338
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: believe it or not. Then Detroit Caroline at Green Bay.

339
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: That's a good match of Philadelphia, not so much Giants

340
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: in week sixteen. So the schedule is not that bad. Graham, Right, Yeah,

341
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: he's just gotta stay healthy, man, that's the one thing.

342
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: Stay healthy, Redskins. The Redskins have probably been dying to

343
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: keep him healthy. It's just he's just not gotten lucky yet. Hopefinuitely,

344
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: hopefully he can get lucky. Hopefully he can stay on

345
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: the field, because that would be it'd just be fun

346
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: to actually get to see him have a chance to play,

347
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: because we haven't been able to do that yet. Last

348
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: bit of news year Chase Edmonds likely to miss a

349
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: few weeks. He left last week's game with a hamstring injury.

350
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: We don't know that they traded today being the Cardinals

351
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: traded for Kingyan Drake and he will be on the

352
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: field for Thursday nights game against the San Francisco forty Niners.

353
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, Graham, like with with Drake there, David Johnson,

354
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: at some point it's coming back. This is getting really

355
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: really crowded, and it's hard, I think, to make a

356
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: case to to keep Edmonds sitting on your roster right now. Yeah,

357
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: I agree. I've been looking at some of my teams

358
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: and seeing where I can drop Edmunds. I had him

359
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: on a few teams and had him with DJ and

360
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: a few teams too. Yeah, so I'm expecting Kingsbury to give,

361
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: like Drake, maybe ten to fifteen touches here on Thursday night.

362
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: But other than that, like man, it is, this Cardinals

363
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: backfield is really quickly just absolutely fun part. And it's

364
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: funny too because how quickly values can change. Edmonds was

365
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: the hottest running back in the league for about five seconds,

366
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: and now people are going to drop him because of

367
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: the injury. Now again, keep this in mind. I've said

368
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: this on the television show. The Niners have two games

369
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals in the next three weeks, so you

370
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: can't start Kenyan Drake expecting to have him produce anything significant.

371
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: He's basically a volume only starter in that game, and

372
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: maybe he's got Tampa Bay and Tampa Bay's defense has

373
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: got one of the better run they're then the Cardinals

374
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: have a bye, so basically Drake's got three dreadful matchups

375
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: by and then at that point, if David Johnson is

376
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: not back, I'm gonna be crying in my beer because

377
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for him. And I would think four weeks

378
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: there's gonna be enough to come back from whatever it

379
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: is that he's dealing with. Yeah, and Edmonds, for what

380
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: it's worth, he's dealing with the hamstring injury, and as

381
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: we know with with skill position players, those can tend

382
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: to linger. And with their Cardinals by coming up, I

383
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: think it's pretty safe you can drop Edmunds in in

384
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: ten team weeks. Man, He's about just a couple of

385
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: of running back free agent pickups that sort of blew

386
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: up on us, right because people picked up Chase Edmonds,

387
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: but I didn't start in that one week. You know,

388
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: maybe this maybe we'll talk about this at the end

389
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: of the year. But based on how this year is going,

390
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: the way for Wire outside of Week one has just

391
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: been pretty much terrible and pretty thin. Yeah, it's been

392
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: really bad all year long. Yeah, I mean so between

393
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds and Ty Johnson, those are a couple of

394
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: running back pickups that did not go at all the

395
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: way we would have thought. And uh, yeah, it's gotta

396
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: be frustrating if you if you were our injuries absolutely suck.

397
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: So there we go. That's pretty much everything you need

398
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: to know. Well, looking at what is the second half

399
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: of the NFL regular season, I mean we're into it

400
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: in the fantasy regular season. Uh, time to look at

401
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: some guys I think that we're surprises in the first

402
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: part of the year and whether or not they have

403
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: what it takes to kind of keep that production going

404
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season. So I went

405
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: and picked one from each of the the four main

406
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: positions here and we can kind of, you know, talk

407
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: it out here. So the first one, Gardner Minshew, who

408
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: came in when Nick Foles was injured early in Week one,

409
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: has stepped in, has become a sensation, not just on

410
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: the field, but obviously his his keen fashion sense as well,

411
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, headbands and mustaches and George's um. I mean,

412
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: so it. He's been really good so far. Nothing suggests

413
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: he's gonna slow it down. I mean, fab do you

414
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: believe that the magic mustache will keep this thing rolling?

415
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm digging him this week. I actually picked him up

416
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: in a league and dropped Jared Goff. I have, uh,

417
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray on the bench there, so I'm not playing

418
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: Kyler this week. But I don't know if he's gonna

419
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: keep the job with Nick Foles is back. But all

420
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: we can look at is right now, and right now,

421
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: you've got a matchup that looks pretty darn good against

422
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. They're giving up near the three passing

423
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: yards per game. They've given up nineteen total touchdowns to quarterbacks.

424
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: This season. Uh, we've seen them give up some very

425
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: big performances. So Gardner Mitschew, I mean, if he's not

426
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback this week, he's very very close. Yeah,

427
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's the thing and I know

428
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: the debate is going on in Jacksonville Graham whether or

429
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: not he holds onto this job. I mean, if you're

430
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, why would you want to keep this thing? Why?

431
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: Why do you want to disrupt this thing that's been

432
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: so good? Right now? You know this is a this

433
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: is a really tough philosophical question, right. It's like Gardner

434
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: Minshew for the next four years is on this insanely

435
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: cheap rookie quarterback deal. The Jags have obviously tried to

436
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: mend their quarterback situation by by throwing money at like

437
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: Bortles that was ill advised, and then uh, they obviously

438
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: gave him Nick Foles a bunch of money. But I'm

439
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't really think you can go back to Folds, right,

440
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you you've got this quarterback right that that

441
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: has essentially come out of nowhere. And really, I mean,

442
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: given this offensive life and and all of these great

443
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: weapons around him, have I mean, it's they've created a

444
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: great ecosystem. Uh in Jacksonville there Nick Foles will be

445
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: back after the by I'm assuming they have the Jacks

446
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: have their buying week ten, and it will be really

447
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: interesting to see, um, you know, what what Doug Moron

448
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: and this the staff decides to do because Minshew, it's

449
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: not this is obviously not something you can put back

450
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: in the bottles. They've sunk a lot of money though

451
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 1: in the Nick Foles. I mean sometimes money talks. Well

452
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: we'll see, yeah, except that so and it's not a

453
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: one to one comparison, but I mean Russell Wilson and

454
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: Matt Flynn, right, yeah, Seahawks wins and spent a whole

455
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: lot of money on Matt Flynn, and Russell Wilson just

456
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: turned out to be better. I'm not saying that Gardner

457
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: Minshow's going to have a Russell Wilson career, but I

458
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: mean it's it's at least an example. That's then example

459
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: I've thought about two is like is Nick We obviously

460
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 1: know Nick Foles can play, and Matt Flynn was up

461
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: for debate, and the Seahawks obviously you know they got

462
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: super lucky drafting Russell Wilson. But yeah, I mean, I

463
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: I just you know, with with when rookie quarterbacks come

464
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: out and plays as well as Minshew has played, and

465
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: how he's looked so fearless for eight weeks now, um, yeah,

466
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: I just don't know how you can go back to Foles,

467
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: but uh, the Jacks definitely have a good problem now.

468
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: At least they have two Bible starters zero. There are

469
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: things that that are looking for one and the Jaguars

470
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: have two. And honestly too, I mean you have to

471
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: look at sort of you know where the Jaguars are.

472
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: There are four and four team and they've got a

473
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: tough matchup this week. And if this is a team

474
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: that's not in playoff contention, I would still consider Foals

475
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: to end up being the favorite ticket that job back

476
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: because I still feel like the Jaguars made a big

477
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: investment in him and they want to see what they have. Yeah,

478
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: they really do. I mean maybe you showcase him and

479
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: that's that's also like think about his career, right, so

480
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: he starts off, wait in Philadelphia, he has a one

481
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: year where he has like what twenty seven touchdowns and

482
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: two picks. He was awesome, like unbelievably efficient, and then

483
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: the next year wasn't so good. Then he ended up

484
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: what like in St. Louis and didn't do anything there.

485
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: I think that then it was where like in Kansas

486
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: City for a second um and then he goes back

487
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia, wins a freaking super Bowl, loses the job

488
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: to Carson, went to the following year, and then he

489
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: goes and gets a big money deal with the Jaguars

490
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: to be their starter, gets hurt in week one, and

491
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: now Gardner Minshew is threatening. I mean, it's it has been. Uh,

492
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: it has been quite a soap opera tale there for

493
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: Nick Foles in the NFL. Yeah, tell him, tell me

494
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: about I mean that twenty seven in two season though,

495
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: it was like, that was ridiculous, ridiculous. That was that

496
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: was Chip Kelly play calling god mode. That that was amazing,

497
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: remember the days. Okay, so Graham, Austin Ekeler was amazing

498
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: for the first half of the season, and even with

499
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon coming back, he still has found ways to

500
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: be productive. Now there's a change of offensive coordinators, so

501
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 1: that sort of throws everything up in the air again.

502
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: But can we still kind of believe in Austin Ekeler

503
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: in the last part of the year. You Know what's

504
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: been really unfortunate is the last couple of weeks. You know,

505
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: his role as a rusher has basically just been dwindled

506
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: down over the past month since Melvin Gordon's been back,

507
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: He's he's He's carried the ball just sixteen times. This

508
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: Chargers team as a whole, guys, they cannot run the

509
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: ball whatsoever at all. Richie Bark had a great tweet

510
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: earlier this week. Uh, they're the only team, basically in

511
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: modern football history to have four straight games where they're

512
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: held under forty yards rushing. It's amazing. I just that

513
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: blows my mind. And you know, this offensive line is

514
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: not going to be getting any better anytime soon. They've

515
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: been dealing with injuries all year long. So really the

516
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: only thing we're hoping for with Ekela at this point

517
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: is he stays involved as a receiver, which you know

518
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: we can count on that reasonably every week. But with

519
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon back's, you know, he's he's been playing significantly

520
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: in the passing game too. Uh yeah, you know, as

521
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: good as Ekela is and as awesome because he was

522
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: to start this year, I think he's pretty clearly demoted

523
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: back down into an RB two role because uh, he's

524
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: gonna be relying on touchdowns unless they go back to him.

525
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: Is in some sort of featured types of I play

526
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: him this week though, against Green Bay they're giving up

527
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: right around six catches a game the running but yeah,

528
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 1: his schedule, I'd still play the next three games, man

529
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: are super I mean they're great matchups. Packers, Packers, Raiders, Chiefs.

530
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean there's three good spots for for these running backs.

531
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: I would think that the thing that might help Eckler's

532
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: value in his production is the fact that they're really

533
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: struggling to find a second wide receiver consistently, like Mike

534
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: Williams has not been as consistent as I think a

535
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: lot of people would like. I mean, we know Keenan

536
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: Allen's going to do his thing. You know, Hunter Henry

537
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: Is is going to have his role. But I think

538
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: they're they're looking for another pass catcher. I think Eckler,

539
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: who they will line up out wide or in the

540
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: slot on occasion, can sort of fill it, sort of

541
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: like the way we see Aaron Jones doing in Green Bay.

542
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: I think that the Chargers can sort of use Austin

543
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: Neckler that way there for there. I really hope you'll

544
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: get Davante Adams back. Speaking of the Packers, speaking of

545
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, real quick after scoring ten touchdowns last year,

546
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: he's got zero. I mean after this second half. Man

547
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: if if Mike Williams is a pretty good at a

548
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: positive touchdown regressive candidate here, yeah, you would think so. Uh,

549
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin and has been fantastic. I mean we talked

550
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: about the There were a handful of receivers we talked

551
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: about coming out of the draft. Mclauren didn't get quite

552
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: as much attention. He has turned out so far to

553
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: be the best of that work you wide receiver group. Um,

554
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: the good news is that he's played fantastic in the

555
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: first half fabs. The bad news that he may be

556
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: dealing with Dwayne Haskins, who is reportedly just not ready

557
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: and needs a whole lot more development. Um. I mean,

558
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: I look, I guess I don't need to read reports.

559
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: I have seen him play a couple of times he's

560
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: been on the field, and that's sort of good. It

561
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: sort of shows that that he is not quite ready. Um,

562
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean, does that does that worry you about McLaurin is?

563
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: Is is he a guy that we may need to

564
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: fade in the second half. Well, let's let's see what

565
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: case keenum status is. He's in concussion protocol. I wouldn't

566
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: play McLaurin regardless this week against Davious White and the

567
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. I'm just not doing it, and I'm definitely

568
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: not doing it if Haskins is the quarterback. But if

569
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: you look at the schedule, McLaren has a really favorable schedule,

570
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: at least among wide receivers over it's amazing. So if

571
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: we get case Keenum under center, and I would think

572
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: Alahan's gonna want to win some games and he's not

573
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: gonna put Haskins out there. I mean he looked awful,

574
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: bro I mean, he looked he's not ready. So if Keenum,

575
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: and if we knew Keenum was going to be the

576
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: guy the rest of the season, then trade for Terry

577
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: McLaurin after he does nothing against Buffalo because you can

578
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: sort of buy low on him a little bit because

579
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: that schedule is really good. But if at any point

580
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: in this season Dwayne Haskins is the quarterback for an

581
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: extended period of time, all bets are off with T

582
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: with T M, yeah, I don't think the Redskins can

583
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: at any point this year in good faith go to Haskins. Uh,

584
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: you know, Keendom's obviously concussion protocol. We'll see what his

585
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: status is this week. But you mentioned the schedule, man,

586
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: Like they come out of their buying Week ten and

587
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: they get the Jets, Lions, Panthers, Packers, and then Fantasy

588
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: playoffs at home versus Equals at home versus Giants. That

589
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: is exactly what you want to see. Yeah, yeah, Um,

590
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: just he's got to get that quarterback situations settled. And

591
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: the other part of it is usually even with Bill

592
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: Callahan taking over and really wanting to run the football,

593
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: it's been nice to see that McLaurin hasn't really had

594
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: a drop off in in his opportunities in his targets.

595
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: He's kind of the one guy that they can throw

596
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: too consistently, the only guy they can throw too consistently. Yeah. Um,

597
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: it's the last one for can they keep it going?

598
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper, who as we sit here and talk, he

599
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: is the tight end one. Yeah, everybody guessed that in

600
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: a million I mean, I thought maybe there's a chance

601
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: that he could be a decent sleeper tight end. Uh

602
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: never would have picked him to be the tight end one.

603
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: So what we're telling you here is that we know nothing.

604
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: You've got Whoper, Hooper's one and Waller's two, right, Uh

605
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: is he two or three? But yeah, he's in the top.

606
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, and if you're talking about points per game

607
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: two when Waller, I'm not exactly sure, but he may

608
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: be number one. Those two guys didn't get drafted into

609
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: the late rounds if they got picked at all. I mean,

610
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: Hooper got picked in most legs. Waller, uh not, maybe

611
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: not so much. Anybody who drafted Travis Kelsey zach Ertz

612
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: raising my hand right now because he's killing me. Um

613
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: Waller is. Waller is three by point one points. So

614
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: so for all intensive purposes, he's tied with Travis Kelsey

615
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: at number two right now. But I mean, Graham, like,

616
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: even when Matt Shop came in, I mean, they've they've

617
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: been throwing the ball in the direction of Austin Hooper.

618
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: I feel like this is one that's probably not going

619
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: away soon. No, it's not. And the Falcons, you know,

620
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: all their trailing and their defense just just absolutely sucking

621
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: has really helped basically this entire the past volume in

622
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: this entire offense is you know, I think Austin Hooper

623
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: has probably been the biggest beneficiary of all of the

624
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: Falcons issues. Uh. You know, when you have to throw

625
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: the ball forty five times per game. Uh, you guys

626
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: are gonna get fed. And they have a bunch of

627
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: talented guys and Hooper has really taken a big step

628
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: this year. Uh, He's been fantastic and I think this

629
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: is something we can count on moving forward. You know,

630
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: looking at last year, Hooper had some He always showed

631
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of potential, maybe be like a PPR

632
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: stud where you can catch five balls every game. But

633
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: this year the volume has just been absolutely massive in

634
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: this offense. And you know there their scheduled to chart

635
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: this year was really really conducive. Do some big games

636
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: and down the stretch, I mean they get other by

637
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: uh in week nine here, then they get the Saints, Panthers,

638
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: Bucks Saints again. Uh, fantasy playoffs, they'll have the forty

639
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: Niners and the Jags. But yeah, I mean this, this

640
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: is the volume has been there. Yeah, and with Matt

641
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: Ryan under center, getting back, getting Matt Ryan back Underson

642
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: will will help it even more, which so hopefully will

643
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: happen after the bye. They're hoping that the Matt Ryan

644
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: will be ready to go. Uh and starting again for

645
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: the Falcons. All right, Um, it's on the flip side

646
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 1: guys that can they get it going for the second

647
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: half and the first one. It's a name that I

648
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: actually in a couple of weeks have picked up off

649
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: waiver wires where he has been Uh, Cam Newton, who

650
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: the last time we saw him, I mean just was

651
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: was injured. The offensive line was still trying to figure

652
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: itself out. I mean, it just wasn't a good situation.

653
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen has come in and started this weird debate

654
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: and whether or not he is actually better than Cam Newton,

655
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: which makes me scratch my head. But I mean, look, fabs, like,

656
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: if you could pick up a stash Cam Newton, that

657
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: seems like a pretty good deal at this point in

658
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: the seas It too because they also have the sixth

659
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: easiest remaining schedule for quarterbacks. So and I get it.

660
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: You know, he was bad. He was bad at the

661
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: end of last year. Who was bad at the beginning

662
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: of this year. Kyle Allen got exposed a bit last week.

663
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the Niners made him look like a guy

664
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: who you know, hadn't started many games in the NFL,

665
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 1: which is precisely what he is. He's going to get

666
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: to start this week, but no, I would agree, because

667
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: in most competitive leagues, if Cam Newton is available, I mean,

668
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the best option out there. You know,

669
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew's probably gone. Even Sam Donald's a streamer this week.

670
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: You know, there's not a lot at the quarterback position

671
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: unless you want to pick up Mitchell Robisky. Good luck

672
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: with that. So no, Cam is certainly a guy. I've

673
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: done it too. I've picked him up. I'm stashing him

674
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: away and we'll see what happens. Yeah, you know it's so.

675
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about a guy who at his best, right,

676
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean, during his peak, this was a top three

677
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: quarterback Fantasy quarterback, right, and so he didn't even have

678
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: to be that down on the stretch. If he can

679
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: just give you some regular, some QB one weeks from

680
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: here on out. Um, if you can hold onto him

681
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: and stash him for another week or too, then you know,

682
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: because he's not going to play this week, right, I believe,

683
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: and I think already said Kyle Alec Colin is gonna

684
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: be their starter the start this week. So you may

685
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: have to hang on for another week or so, but man,

686
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: you know that you can get him back, it's gonna

687
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: be great. Um, plud yours fab because I know you

688
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: don't want because I know Todd Gurley has frustrated you.

689
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: So I'll ask Graham Todd Gurley. I mean, I am

690
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: holding onto this fantasy that they're just sort of saving

691
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: him for a stretch run. They're saving him now that

692
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: we're getting into November and December, especially because the Rams

693
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: have to make up ground right now, right, I mean,

694
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: you've got the Niners undefeated, You've got the Seahawks playing

695
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: very well, kind of right on their heels. If you're

696
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: the Rams, um, you know, the the chance of winning

697
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: the division has gotten very small, and now you're playing

698
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: just to try to get in as a wild card.

699
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: So I'm holding onto this belief that this is when

700
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh takes the wraps off Todd Gurley and makes

701
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: him back into the workhorse that we're used to seeing.

702
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're gonna be holding onto that

703
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: thing like the these these Rams have done some weird

704
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 1: stuff with with Gurley's usage. I mean, so you know,

705
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: went back a month from from today. Girly played like

706
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: over of the snaps in that short week against the Seahawks,

707
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: and then he obviously missed week six with the quad

708
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: these past two weeks, has been down at his two

709
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: lowest snap rates over the last three years. And again,

710
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that's him just dealing with some of

711
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: the residual effects of that quad injury. And the buy

712
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: here is in week nine. Um, but man, I I don't.

713
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: I just don't see this turning around. I think they

714
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: signaled all offseason that this was going to be some

715
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: sort of committee. Gurley would be the lead of the committee.

716
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing that I've been surprised about his

717
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: girly is just basically not involved in this passing game.

718
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: And that's what's really killed his ceiling this year. Yeah,

719
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: that's the biggest shock. I mean, you figured, even if

720
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,479
Speaker 1: he's not getting the same level of carries that they

721
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: would still throw him the football. Um. And that's been there, happened,

722
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: not been there, man, And I don't that's the one

723
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: that I can't. I can't quite explain away. There have

724
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: been a few games where like the targets went up

725
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, feel a little bit better. It

726
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: was one game he had eleven targets and then it

727
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: just sunk back down again. Yeah, And that's that's one that.

728
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: I haven't quite figured out why or how that that's happened.

729
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: Uh fa. As we got the expected get right game

730
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: for Juju Smith Schuster on Monday against the Dolphins. Does

731
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: this mean that he and Mason Rudolph are cool now

732
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: and we can go back to starting him without any concern?

733
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: Or was that just like I mean, I don't know

734
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: about that matchup. It was the Dolphins, I mean, after all,

735
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: a little bit tougher matchup this way. He had Indianapolis

736
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: Colts in that underrated defense. But where you probably drafted Juju.

737
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: You probably have to play him every week. But this

738
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: is not the same Jujuice in the Schuster that we

739
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,239
Speaker 1: had drafted. Right, because we expected Ben Roethlisberger to beat

740
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback. We expected, you know this, this team to

741
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: not have gone to their second string quarterback, to their

742
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: third string quarterback, now back to their second string quarterback.

743
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: And let's be honest, guys, Mason Rudolph, he didn't look

744
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: that great even against the Dolphins. He was throwing some

745
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: ugly passes, dude, I mean, and a few of the

746
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: passes that he completed, he was just chucking it up

747
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: there and hoping and his receivers Deante Johnson in particular,

748
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: and Juju two made some sick catches to make place

749
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: for me soon Rudolph, So just keep that in mind.

750
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: So you're just gonna have stinkers. He's not going to

751
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: be the most reliable wide receiver. He's gonna have his stinkers.

752
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: In fact, if you can package him in a deal

753
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: right now after his big game, I would consider that.

754
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: Looking at the strength of schedule, UH tied for sixte

755
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 1: I guess that's just dead nuts in the middle uh

756
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: in terms of strength of schedule. So I wouldn't be

757
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: adverse to trading him if I got a good offer. Yeah,

758
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph has been a little bit of a disappointent

759
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: because he chucked the ball deep downfield in college and

760
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: he's looked to my eyes and too, I think a

761
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: lot of people's eyes look scared at times and kind

762
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: of not trusting what he's seeing. And that's unfortunate because

763
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: he's got a great receiver in Juju, and I think

764
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson is I think Deonte Johnson is gonna be

765
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: really good, So I think he's gonna be really good.

766
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: James Washington has been fairly absent. It's it's over, man,

767
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: I was I was way wrong about James. A lot

768
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: of us were. I like James Washington too, especially when

769
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: you know when Ralthisberger went down and you're thinking, okay, well,

770
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: I think that's what Town grade. But you're thinking they

771
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: have a rapport. I think that's what ultimately killed him.

772
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: Because Big Bend will obviously throw deep, and Rudolph is

773
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: not only not throwing deep, he's when he does, it's

774
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: just not looked great to know he was. He's been late,

775
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: he's been behind guys. It just it has been a

776
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 1: struggle for him throwing deep. But James Washington just really

777
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: hasn't been around. He like dropped some passes on Monday,

778
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: just just did not look good. Does not looked good

779
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: all year long. Last one. I don't want to talk

780
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 1: about him. You take him Graham zach Ertz, Man, I

781
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about him. Um. So the last

782
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: two weeks, zach Ertz has dying targets four catches fifty

783
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: eight yards. Did you say dying targets? I mean I

784
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: thought you said dying target possible, But yeah, his nine.

785
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: So I think he's going four weeks. I believe it

786
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: is with fewer than eight fantasy points, while in the

787
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: same stretch Dallas Goddard has had nine or more in

788
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: four straight games. We were talking about zach Ertz maybe

789
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: being a top three tied end. He's probably not the

790
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: best tight end on his own team, at least fantasy wise,

791
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: right now, man, you know what he's not in. That's

792
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: the thing is, like Goddard offers so much more flexibility

793
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: for this Eagles team right because zach Ertz can't block.

794
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he basically has split out as a receiver

795
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: on over half of his routes, and they can play

796
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: Goddard on the line of scrimmage. Granted, not having Deshan

797
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: Jackson basically this entire season has really helped Goddard's usage,

798
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: So the Eagles have basically shifted to more of a

799
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: two tight end approach. We'll see if Deshan Jackson plays

800
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: this week. But God, here, you're right man. The last

801
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: over the last month. I tweeted this out earlier this

802
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 1: week is like zach Ertz has thirteen receptions hundred sixty

803
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: nine yards in a score on twenty six targets. God,

804
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: it's basically got the same line thirteen for one for

805
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: one fifty and two on twenty targets, and and look,

806
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: I don't even if d Jacks comes back, I don't

807
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: see zach Ertz even coming close to the volume that

808
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: he had last year. And that was the thing is

809
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 1: like zach zach Ertz had this phenomenal Fantasy season because

810
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: he broke the tight end record in targets. Basically that

811
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: was not going to happen this year, even with Deshaan

812
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: just DeShawn Jackson injury. So yeah, man, it's been a

813
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: it's in a really tough slark for anyone who drafted

814
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: Earth in that thing. I wonder if we're going to

815
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: go back to and Marcus you remember this, you might

816
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: remember this too, But for for a couple of years,

817
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: zach Ertz was worthless until thanks and then he went nuts.

818
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: Hopefully that happens. Remember those trends too. Yeah, remember that

819
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: was usually like little mid to late November when he

820
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: would start to like pick things up, and then everybody

821
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: would draft him and and then you know, you would

822
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: struggle with him for September and October and then you

823
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: drop him and then somebody else would reap rewards. Uh

824
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's what it is with with the

825
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: zaccurates there, um drop or not, guys that maybe hanging

826
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: around on your roster that probably don't need to be

827
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: on your roster anymore. We talked about Chase Edmonds. Um

828
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: at this point, it just it's hard to make a

829
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: case to hold on to him with the Cardinals going

830
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 1: and getting Kenyan Drake, with David Johnson hopefully coming back

831
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: sometime soon, and Edmond's expected him this a few weeks.

832
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: I think he's one you can go and put back

833
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: in the waiver wire. Um. Speaking of the Steelers, Vance

834
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: McDonald was a guy that a lot of us sort

835
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: of had some sleeper aspirations for. Uh it, it hasn't

836
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: happened this season. And we talked about James Washington being

837
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: a disappointment. He James Washington has more receiving yards than

838
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: Vance McDonald. Yes, one six one to one forty six

839
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: for v mac. He has two touchdowns, which is you know,

840
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: kind of helped him a little bit. But yes, seventeen

841
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: seventeen catches for a buck forty six for Vance McDonald. Um,

842
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: I mean it's he that you still owned in like,

843
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: you know, fifty percent of NFL dot com leagues. But

844
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: it's over. Yeah, it's way over. Man. You've been relying

845
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: on Vance or trying to trying to get Vance going.

846
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: When you only catch three balls from nineteen yards against

847
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,479
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, it's probably not good. And Nick Vanett probably

848
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: was getting Nick Vanette was getting targets too. So now

849
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: you've got another tight end sort of in the mix.

850
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: They're taking some of those opportunities. So yeah, outside of

851
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: that one game where he went seven thirty eight and

852
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: two with Rudolph, I think Rudolf that was the game

853
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: Rudolph came into. Outside of that, he's basically not been

854
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: involved in this offense. No, no, And he was a

855
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: guy that we thought, okay, well maybe this is the

856
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: year that that Vance McDonald takes a big step forward. Um,

857
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: and that that has a happened. Peyton Barber is still

858
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 1: on rosters in about fifty some odd percent of NFL

859
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: dot com leagues as well. And look the the Buccaneers

860
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: offense not great, especially the run game not great. And

861
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: you look at Barber's numbers so far this season. Um,

862
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 1: he had a nice game in Week two for eighty

863
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: two in a touchdown. Since then, his rushing totals forty

864
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty two. Um, you gross right. So I as

865
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: I look at this, his his his ownership percentage is

866
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: dipped to forty nine point eight, which means I'm guessing

867
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: some folks over the overnight probably probably let him go,

868
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: gave him the boot. I would think that fans at

869
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: this point, a whole lot more people can probably just

870
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 1: you know, release him back to the wild. Now. Yeah,

871
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're looking at the last two weeks

872
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: with this team, I mean Peyton Barber three snaps, Ronald

873
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: Jones eighty three snaps. Uh, you know, the touches are

874
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: twelve to a Levin Like, I mean, this is this

875
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: is just uh, this is a team that has basically

876
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: gone completely complete backfield committee and of course this was

877
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: uh in their last game. You're also you're also seeing

878
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: a team that is leaning heavily on the pass. And

879
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: we saw that with Mike Evans putting up big numbers.

880
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: We've seen it with Chris Godwin putting up you know,

881
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: ridiculous numbers. So you know, maybe that this was all

882
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: part of Bruce arians a scheme and the reason why

883
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: they didn't sign a running back or draft a running back.

884
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: They didn't put any capital into that position because for

885
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: all intensive purposes. It's become useless in this offense. Yeah,

886
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: I mean you gotta think that maybe this is the year,

887
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: this is the off season that they go and they

888
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: try to figure something out at the running back position.

889
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 1: I mean, Ronald Jones has been better, but he's not great. Yeah.

890
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: You know, when you have a backfield committee that's not

891
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: only a three man committee and then you mix in

892
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: the team doesn't really try to get any of these

893
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: guys going that there's no semblance of like consistency with

894
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: their game plan every single week. It's just a brutal situation.

895
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: One more guy I think we can safely drop in

896
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: leagues is Duke Johnson. Man like he he has been.

897
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: I've seen him dropped in in a few leaks of

898
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. And and unless Carlos Hide

899
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: gets hurt, I just don't see a path where he's

900
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: going to have like a consistent role like just any

901
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: any basically any upside to get into your getting into

902
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: your fantasy lineups. Yeah. You know, it's funny because he

903
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: sort of he sort of feels the same role on

904
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: my fantasy roster that he does well in every NFL

905
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: roster on right where he's like he's just that in

906
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: between guy, right, Like he's a good running back, but

907
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: they're better running backs. He's a good receiver, they're better receivers,

908
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: and so like you're sort of stuck, like I can't

909
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: really he's not giving you enough to actually put in

910
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: your lineup every single week. I mean, yeah, I'm looking

911
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: at the I'm looking at his production. I mean, you know,

912
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: the the ceiling is not high enough and the floor

913
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: is not low enough. So you're just sort of stuck

914
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: in purgatory, right with Duke speaking, stuck in purgatory? Two more,

915
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: are you guys dropping Titan Titans receivers? I mean I

916
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: think that's that's a that's Corey Davis in a few

917
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: leagues this week as I have bye week issues and

918
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: his schedule is not great in the next couple of weeks,

919
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: so I did cut him. Yeah, I think that's I

920
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: didn't want to have to be in that position, so

921
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: I kind of stayed away from these receivers for the

922
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 1: most part. I think I still have a J. Brown

923
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: in a couple of leagues. It's just these dudes are

924
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: so talented, Like I've just I've loved Corey Davis and

925
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: A J. Brown's talent this whole year, and just I

926
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: think their quarterback situation is obviously held them back. But

927
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: just looking at their schedule too, I mean, if there's

928
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: a chance for these dudes to get real hot down

929
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: the stretch with with the Jags and Raiders and Texans

930
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: and three of their four games after their by it's

931
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: just man like, I just want to see some cont

932
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: that's all. I just want to see some consists all.

933
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: That's all we've been asking for for years out of

934
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: the Titans receivers, doesn't matter who they are, they just

935
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: they just haven't given it to us. Before we go, Uh,

936
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: put out the call for some Twitter questions, Uh do

937
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: we have any others? We have played fun of questions.

938
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: So here I'm gonna start off. You guys are gonna

939
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna do the do the analyst thing. Hair.

940
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: First one is from Matthias. What is A J. Green's

941
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: value when he returns now that Finley has the reins

942
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati right now? I mean I think he's look,

943
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'm starting him because I've held onto him this long, right,

944
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: so soon as he's on the field, I'm starting him.

945
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: But I think at best he's a wide receiver too,

946
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,479
Speaker 1: right now, yeah, volume based receiver too, until we see

947
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: something from Finley. Alright, this one's from Jason better Desperation

948
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: play poor kid, uh Ty Johnson or Peyton Barber. Well, uh,

949
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: he would just listen to the previous five minutes. Yep. Oh,

950
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,720
Speaker 1: I would probably go Ty Johnson and hope he catches

951
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: a few balls. And that's yeah, that's probably what I

952
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: would do too, But I'm sorry, man. Yeah, next one

953
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: is from Sawyer. He needs uh a wide receiver and

954
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: a flex out of Courtland Sutton, Sammy Watkins, d J.

955
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: Moore and Adam Feeling Sutton Watkins More in Feeling two

956
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,439
Speaker 1: he needs to Um, I think he's working his way back.

957
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: I hope he could play. So so it's basically Sutton

958
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: versus Watkins versus More. I think I'd still go Sutton.

959
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: Panthers are in a tough spot to spot, and I

960
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: just think of those guys. Well, I'd say, I'd say

961
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins has the highest ceiling, but but but Sutton

962
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 1: is the you know, highest ceiling with the safest floor.

963
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins has the highest ceiling but literally but no floor. Yeah, no, floor.

964
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: This one's from Angel mark Ingram brutal matchup or Kenyan

965
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: Drake brutal matchup. I'd I'd go with Ingram. And even

966
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: if mark Ingram averages like two point five yards per Cary,

967
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: he can still score twice, which I just don't. I

968
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: don't see that happening. Yeah, I mean, plus just the

969
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: the threat of of Lamar Jackson running will kind of

970
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: open some things up for Ingram. I think, yep, this

971
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: is a good one here. Matthew Murray uh needs two

972
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: and a half point PPR Juju gallop Sutton or Tyrell Williams.

973
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: Did you gallop Sutton or Tyro Williams? Gallop for sure?

974
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: Gallop for sure? Yes, for sure? This week? I know

975
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: who I'm thinking. Um, I might go Tyrelle this week,

976
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. Uh, yeah, they got there. They

977
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: have the Lions this week, so I might go Tyrell. Yeah. Man,

978
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: that's where we've gotten. Huh, that's where we are. You know.

979
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't, honestly, I really can't fight that.

980
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's kind of that they have a

981
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 1: very similar expectation the lines really man like losing Quander digs.

982
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: They're basically just have Darius Slay back there. Uh, we'll

983
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: do a couple more here, Father Pappas, I don't know

984
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: if he's a priest, um wants to know, or if

985
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: he's or he just has kids. Yeah, he's just a

986
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: guy with kids. Lamar Jackson, is he good enough to

987
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,479
Speaker 1: start against the Patriots or should he roll with Gardner Minshoe? Nah?

988
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: Go with Lamar man Yeah he la market throw two

989
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: picks in that game and not be great as a

990
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: passer and still go nuts for fantasy. Okay, Uh, we'll

991
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: do two more mile high highlights. So I'm assuming this

992
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: is a Broncos fan. Start to Emmanuel Sanders, Terry McLaurin,

993
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: D J. Moore or Christian Kirk. I'm starting Sanders for sure,

994
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 1: and I think J D J. Moore, I go kirk over, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

995
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: I probably going with Kirk just on volume markets. I

996
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 1: think you might have been write your initial read on Manny,

997
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: like going back and watching some of that game and

998
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: they used him. Yeah, man, I like Manny going to

999
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: San Francis, like they're gonna try to get him the ball,

1000
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: Like I traded for him in a dynasty league this week.

1001
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: I like that move. Third around rookie pick for Sam.

1002
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: I was live on the air with the Andrew Siciliano

1003
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: when it broke, and we basically did an instant analysis,

1004
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 1: and I was like, I like us pretty good. Shanahan's

1005
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: gonna get him. He's gonna find some ways to Get're

1006
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: gonna get him going right. Last one, this is from

1007
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: tweet Pete. How much do you trust Derek Carr this week?

1008
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: I trust him a lot, I do, dude. Oh my god,

1009
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: I would love him as a streamer this week. Absolutely.

1010
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: I love Derek Carr this week too. This is an

1011
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: amazing I love that game. Actually lines Raiders there like

1012
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: play everyone in that. I mean to the next three weeks.

1013
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: He's got the Lions and then he's got the Bengals

1014
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: in like in a couple of weeks too, So he's

1015
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: got a couple of the nice spots here. Yeah. I

1016
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: know people don't want to do it, but John Gruden

1017
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of credit. He has coached well. He

1018
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: has coached extremely well. I'm I'm happy to say I've

1019
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: been so wrong about the Raiders all year long. I mean,

1020
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: their offensive line has been good. Josh Jacobs looks like

1021
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: a freaking star. Derek Carr's having his best season ever

1022
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: by far. I mean, he's got a career high and

1023
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: completion rate and he's averaging well over uh seven and

1024
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: a half yards per tempt. He's been very good. Yeah,

1025
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: he hasn't been great in fantasy, but he's been affection

1026
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: to turn things around. It looks like right for fantasy

1027
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: he's not been good, but real life he's been extremely efficient.

1028
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: He does not turn the ball over at all either. Yeah, no,

1029
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean so I think I said the next two

1030
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: of the next three weeks, Derek Cars should be on

1031
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: your streaming radar. Absolutely should be. So hey. So yeah,
