Speaker 1: Welcome in friends too. Fantasy Pros, the Fantasy Football podcast.
Speaker 1: This is the extra point right here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Pros Discord. We are live with a studio audience with
Speaker 1: the Discord audience that's gonna be raising their hands. We're
Speaker 1: going to be bringing them up. And it's a podcast
Speaker 1: of the people. That's it, because literally the people are
Speaker 1: going to dictate the content. Who are we. I'm Chris Welch.
Speaker 1: That is Andrew Rickson here every single week for you
Speaker 1: and live on the Discord two pm Eastern every single Thursday,
Speaker 1: Fantasypros dot Com slash chat. If you want to check
Speaker 1: out all the other awesome stuff we've got out of Bounds,
Speaker 1: which by the way, is now on the video side.
Speaker 1: Incredible edits we have, but you can come and join
Speaker 1: that two pm Eastern on Mondays. We've got a couple
Speaker 1: other great offerings as well. We actually just had one this.
Speaker 1: We have these like bi weekly ones that pop up
Speaker 1: Werman Fits five pm Eastern on the first Tuesday of
Speaker 1: each month, and then you end up getting fits and
Speaker 1: Bogs five pm Eastern on the third Tuesday of each month.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Andrew Rickson not letting you talk
Speaker 1: what's up, buddy?
Speaker 2: What's up? Man? Feeling good? Week fourteen?
Speaker 3: That's where he is, right We fourteen, Yeah, so the
Speaker 3: precursor to the fantasy football playoffs. So hopefully if you're
Speaker 3: tuning in, you're either just interesting you like hearing us
Speaker 3: talk about football and fantasy and things that aren't real.
Speaker 3: But if you are tuning in because you want the analysis,
Speaker 3: the groundbreak, we'll also offered that too, because we have
Speaker 3: a lot of people, hopefully that are going to be
Speaker 3: competing for championships. I know that I'm in the possible
Speaker 3: of a couple of playoff berths, So I think all
Speaker 3: you gotta do is say, hey, if you get in,
Speaker 3: anything can happen. And I want to stress one thing Welsh.
Speaker 3: Don't reinvent the wheel here, right, don't get cute over,
Speaker 3: don't get cute, and don't do things that you haven't
Speaker 3: been doing all season long. Don't immediately become a kicker
Speaker 3: connoisseur now that you're in the playoffs if you haven't
Speaker 3: cared about your kicker, or don't start now because you're
Speaker 3: gonna overthink and you're gonna lead. It's gonna lead you
Speaker 3: on a path you never want to go.
Speaker 2: Down.
Speaker 3: So if you've been like I'm very particular about the
Speaker 3: kicker I play, then up. You got here for a reason.
Speaker 3: But don't change your process now because these stakes have
Speaker 3: gotten higher.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me pivot it. Because let me pivot this,
Speaker 1: then I don't. I don't think the kickers Like, I
Speaker 1: know what you're saying, and I completely agree with it.
Speaker 1: Like you know, my process is give me a high
Speaker 1: scoring team that's playing indoors and I'll take a kicker
Speaker 1: even if they're not projected high. Blah blah blah. I
Speaker 1: think this speaks more to a bigger issue, and that's
Speaker 1: the like, should I start Jameis Winston over Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: because he does this? Or let me throw a bigger one.
Speaker 1: And I think this is the one that's in people's faces.
Speaker 1: I imagine maybe we'll have a question or two on
Speaker 1: this show. One hundred good jullion percent. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: it this Sunday on the live stream. Is Isaac Grindo
Speaker 1: getting too cute when it comes to real big decisions? Obviously,
Speaker 1: if you picked him up and you got the waiver,
Speaker 1: I had all the fab across the board, Dude, I
Speaker 1: couldn't get him anywhere. I could couldn't get him anywhere.
Speaker 1: I had all the fab in the world. It was nuts.
Speaker 2: So if you.
Speaker 1: Picked him up and you're throwing him in flex over,
Speaker 1: you know whatever, Like I mean, I'm gonna look at
Speaker 1: a player's and if you're throwing him in at flex
Speaker 1: over Gus Edwards, no brainer. But if you're looking at
Speaker 1: Grinda and you're a little bit worried about Brice Hall,
Speaker 1: is starting a guy like Grinda who's never started in
Speaker 1: this forty nine years offense because he was the number
Speaker 1: one waiver claim over a guy like Brece Hall getting
Speaker 1: too cute?
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: I think that what you have to ask yourselves, I know,
Speaker 3: like the common mantras like start your studs, et cetera.
Speaker 3: But then the follow up question that is, well, is
Speaker 3: Briece Hall stud And the answer to that is now right, Mike,
Speaker 3: that's so, Yes, the name brands have carried over and
Speaker 3: carried weight throughout the year. But then you have to
Speaker 3: be real with yourself and be well, has Briese Hal
Speaker 3: been and studs?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 3: No, Like, what's the worst going to happen if you
Speaker 3: bet to Breese Hall? I mean, how is he going
Speaker 3: to hurt you.
Speaker 1: Like, well, I mean the worst that could happen is
Speaker 1: he could have six receptions three touchdowns, Like, I know what,
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: What you're getting at do something that he has never
Speaker 3: done all season. Like, don't like project this to be
Speaker 3: the week for him to do something he hasn't done
Speaker 3: all If they haven't done it up to this point,
Speaker 3: it's probably not gonna happen. So like that's what you
Speaker 3: need to just Again, it's the same thing with like
Speaker 3: Tyreek hill White. There's a reason why he's not in
Speaker 3: the top five an ECR anymore because he just hasn't
Speaker 3: been that guy this year. Like yeah, I'm well, I'm
Speaker 3: just saying so that's kind of how I look at
Speaker 3: these things. And you have to also with Grenda, like yeah,
Speaker 3: there's always a risk, you know. Could this be a
Speaker 3: situation where I think it was a couple of years
Speaker 3: back where I think.
Speaker 2: It was Mike Boone right for the minutes.
Speaker 3: I don't even know what team he was on, but
Speaker 3: he like looked like he's gonna be the starter and
Speaker 3: people boother found the Broncos.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know what team he was on.
Speaker 2: My point, it might have been it might have been
Speaker 2: the Vikings. It would have been I think I might
Speaker 2: have been.
Speaker 3: Dalvin Cook was out, Madison was also and Mike Boone
Speaker 3: was next up, and people were playing him in the
Speaker 3: Fantasy Championships just projecting his workload, and he of course
Speaker 3: busted and then it was actually the next week that
Speaker 3: he had a really good game. So at least this
Speaker 3: week is Week fourteen, so than the playoffs yet, So
Speaker 3: I think it's nice at least you can get a
Speaker 3: kind of like test drive the GIRNDO. But I me know,
Speaker 3: we've seen him play this year. He's looked really good.
Speaker 3: It's a good matchup, and he's a fort Niners running
Speaker 3: back and traditionally, like this is a guy that a
Speaker 3: spot that Kyle Shanahan has leaned on, these speed size freaks.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I feel pretty confident about Girndo. So yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to know what's funny is, to be honest
Speaker 1: with you, I don't. I don't want to keep belaboring
Speaker 1: this as people just eyes will roll back into their
Speaker 1: head and never come back. Is like Deebo Samuel might
Speaker 1: be getting too cute, Like I'm seeing some of the ranks,
Speaker 1: early ranks on him, like I do believe he's gonna
Speaker 1: be more involved in the rushing game, but him being
Speaker 1: ranked over Juwan Jennings and maybe Debo over Grinda would
Speaker 1: be getting too cute. But you know, I digress into
Speaker 1: the entire conversation. Maybe you guys will have some of that.
Speaker 1: So again, this show is not just us blab boy.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is us blabbering on, but you guys
Speaker 1: are going to dictate the blabbering in the discord. We've
Speaker 1: got the audience. They're raising their hands. That is how
Speaker 1: we are answering questions. Mister Andrew Rickson, you ready to
Speaker 1: red this bad boy up? That's rock is Revick Cornwallace
Speaker 1: first up on the extra point this week? What you
Speaker 1: got cornwallis what's up?
Speaker 5: Guys?
Speaker 6: So basically, in a winning I'm in, it's effectively a
Speaker 6: coin flip fifty to fifty tight match. So like the O,
Speaker 6: the rest are super favored. And uh, you know, you
Speaker 6: guys are talking about getting too cute, and That's what
Speaker 6: I'm worried about. So like I was looking at like
Speaker 6: tight end specifically, and like, is like Noah Gray or
Speaker 6: Juwan Johnson getting too cute over some of the back
Speaker 6: end tightened ones who may or may not be playing tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was about to say, like which ones you got it?
Speaker 1: You mean, like the ones that may have just played okay, correct?
Speaker 6: And then also like playing BTJ over DK Metcalf who
Speaker 6: seems to be losing more and more work to JSN
Speaker 6: who's looked really good.
Speaker 1: Okay, those are two really good questions. Cornwallace actually specifically
Speaker 1: love the tight End One told Ericson before we started.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, before you run off and escape
Speaker 1: me when the show's done, I need to steal you, because,
Speaker 1: as Erickson was kind of alluding to, we're invested this
Speaker 1: year because we got some teams and I am in
Speaker 1: the championship. Well, I'm sorry. I'm in the finals of
Speaker 1: one of my FFPC matchups, which you know, as you know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of money on the line, and I
Speaker 1: have Noah Gray as someone I kind of I don't
Speaker 1: want to get cute, but I picked him up because
Speaker 1: it's also a tight End premium, and I have a
Speaker 1: couple of the decisions to make. I'm big on Juwan Johnson,
Speaker 1: so he's trying to poke the bear a little bit
Speaker 1: with you and I Ericson about Juwan Johnson. So obviously
Speaker 1: he's alluding to Laporta and Tucker Kraft, who just played
Speaker 1: and did whatever they did. Let's alterate a tiny bit
Speaker 1: and be like, is putting in a guy like Noah Gray,
Speaker 1: you know, since he's been the alteration to Travis Kelsey?
Speaker 1: Would that be too cute? Over Let's say Kate Auten,
Speaker 1: you know, who had a little bit of an ant
Speaker 1: or Evan Ingram going up against Tennessee. Do you think
Speaker 1: I think Juwan Johnson is being a little too cute?
Speaker 1: But it's like no agree even being as well being
Speaker 1: just too cute in that respect, even though maybe you
Speaker 1: are trying to play high upside and go for this
Speaker 1: huge ceiling. If he's projected to be behind.
Speaker 2: I mean I think it is.
Speaker 3: I mean, you got you know, Okray has to catch
Speaker 3: two touchdowns, right, which he likes to do.
Speaker 2: He's done it twice already.
Speaker 3: But is that more descriptive or predictive of what he's
Speaker 3: gonna I mean again, like it's like a Nick Westbropokine thing,
Speaker 3: like is he gonna just score touchdowns every single week?
Speaker 2: Like? Maybe?
Speaker 3: But what is what does conventional wisdom suggest? It's probably
Speaker 3: not gonna last, like, right, So the same thing with
Speaker 3: catching two touch and you're like, you gotta go back
Speaker 3: to the basics, right, targets, who's getting targets, who's playing
Speaker 3: the field, who's seeing a lot of snaps, who's playing
Speaker 3: high scoring environments. That's a huge thing that comes to
Speaker 3: tight ends. How do you find yourself scoring touchdowns? You're
Speaker 3: playing games that are higher scoring. So if you don't
Speaker 3: think that this game is going to be a shootout,
Speaker 3: then why are you trying to trip over yourself to
Speaker 3: play a tight end in that game?
Speaker 2: Right when?
Speaker 3: That's kind of what you need half the time, because
Speaker 3: almost at least a lot of Titans tend to be
Speaker 3: just bad anyway, and all you need is if they
Speaker 3: score a touchdown, you feel like you win, right, Like
Speaker 3: I'm success, Like that's all you need. So that's kind
Speaker 3: of how I'm looking at it. So I don't think
Speaker 3: that the streamer, I mean, the streamers are streamers for
Speaker 3: a reason this week. I think they're really there. If
Speaker 3: you've been playing Hunter Henry or Dallas Goddard, then you're
Speaker 3: going to those streamers. But if you have already guys
Speaker 3: that have been playing for you, Kate Aden still has
Speaker 3: a good matchup this week. I know his targets have
Speaker 3: been down since mc evans has been back, but he
Speaker 3: still gets tarted a lot by Baker Rayfield and it's
Speaker 3: a good matchup for him. So yeah, I also to
Speaker 3: get a tight end too.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: Last thing I'm going to add to the tight end thing,
Speaker 1: the Juwan Johnson stuff is more theory. Noah Gray does
Speaker 1: have application. He has four straight games of four catches.
Speaker 1: He has I'm sorry, three straight games of four catches.
Speaker 1: He's got three straight games of four more targets, and
Speaker 1: he had six targets in his last one, and then
Speaker 1: obviously has the four touchdowns, which kind of like, you know,
Speaker 1: make the value go crazy. There's a little bit more
Speaker 1: application and really tough matchup against the Chargers where I
Speaker 1: think it's doable, but it's tough over those other guys
Speaker 1: because you are making a calculator risk, even though I
Speaker 1: do think there's a little bit more of a floor
Speaker 1: with Gray now that I say it, than this hypothetical
Speaker 1: with Juwan Johnson. So the answer to come around as
Speaker 1: being like, I'm probably not getting too cute either, because
Speaker 1: guess what those guys that you talk about with that
Speaker 1: massive talent. They're also scoring options, not just the craft
Speaker 1: on the porter who already played, but even like Aughton,
Speaker 1: you know he's going to get targeted in the red
Speaker 1: zone some the other one. It's funny. I don't think
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas is being cute next to DK Metcalf. They're
Speaker 1: ranked close to each other. I've got them relatively close,
Speaker 1: so I don't really think that's being cute. I worry
Speaker 1: about mac Jones in general, but he did technically get
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas more involved. But I don't know. I don't like,
Speaker 1: are you doing that over DK? I do have DK
Speaker 1: a couple spots higher than Brian Thomas. I just don't
Speaker 1: think it's getting cute. But DK is just like he's
Speaker 1: the dude, he's the floor.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think both guys have similar floor ceiling profiles.
Speaker 3: But again, I'm gonna have Metcalf, Frank Tire I would
Speaker 3: probably start Metcalf. But Brian Thomas is really good and
Speaker 3: he's shown that even with Mac Jones, he can deliver
Speaker 3: big splash plays. He's facing a really good Titans run defense.
Speaker 3: He's gonna see volume, and if he gets volume, he
Speaker 3: should be good. Like think with Metcalf and more concerned
Speaker 3: about it's like, is Metcalf like healthy, Like the dude
Speaker 3: has really been He's been banged up all year. I
Speaker 3: think that he's not playing at one hundred percent, So
Speaker 3: that's my other concern. He's already on the He's on
Speaker 3: the injury report again this week with a shoulder injury.
Speaker 3: But he's also a beast, right he has Gino Smith
Speaker 3: as his quarterback, so I don't think either guy is
Speaker 3: in like the most ideal situation. The Cardinals defense has
Speaker 3: really played well over the last couple of weeks. I
Speaker 3: think the Seattle and Arizona is kind of a pretty
Speaker 3: kind of slug fest game, even though it's being played
Speaker 3: in the Dome. And then you have the Tennessee Titans
Speaker 3: that are hosting the Jaguars, like in an offense that
Speaker 3: has seemingly no direction to go but down. But Brian
Speaker 3: Thomas has looked good, So yeah, I mean, I think
Speaker 3: that both guys are wide receiver twos with upside, and
Speaker 3: you know wide receiver is scoring tends to be pretty volatile.
Speaker 3: But just based on the body of work that we
Speaker 3: know about Metcalf, he has a connection with Geno. We've
Speaker 3: seen a very small sample size of Brian Thomas with
Speaker 3: Mac Jones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'd also like i'd also always throw out,
Speaker 1: like you know where we're here to give you guys suggestions.
Speaker 1: Go with your gut, you know, because don't blindly just
Speaker 1: take us and then the scream and blame it. If
Speaker 1: you got to feel and you're like, hey, I'm really
Speaker 1: leaning Brian Thomas, I'm going to tell you it's not
Speaker 1: crazy if you do it. I think it's in line.
Speaker 1: We're both going to suggest DK metcalf over, but you're
Speaker 1: in the same general line. We know what Brian Thomas
Speaker 1: can do. It's just can mac Jones unfurl that?
Speaker 3: And we don't mean he's he's more like again, if
Speaker 3: it's anything, it's more about like what's the floor?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the floor is much better with DK than
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because mac Jones, I mean he can just crater
Speaker 3: like like the job Wrars could score zero points and
Speaker 3: no one would be surprised.
Speaker 1: I have had him on my team all year. Actually,
Speaker 1: I think this this team that's in the championship, I
Speaker 1: have Brian Thomas. I've experienced those craters. It's not great,
Speaker 1: not not so good. It's not so good as I'll
Speaker 1: tell you before with the Fantasy Pros discords, credible community,
Speaker 1: all these people in here, you know, we get these
Speaker 1: great guys and gals in here. We've got rooms across
Speaker 1: the board that you can go and talk in different
Speaker 1: fantasy football aspects. We've got games. This show absolutely free
Speaker 1: when you come in. We also have amas that you
Speaker 1: can unlock, so we have a premium feature. You don't
Speaker 1: have to, but you can join up for free or
Speaker 1: get premium like Land, the man that's that entire thing
Speaker 1: I led to just say. Land shows that he's a
Speaker 1: premium member, so he's got everything. Land, What's up?
Speaker 7: How are we doing?
Speaker 2: Fellows?
Speaker 7: Appreciate you taking my question. Similarly, the last guy panic
Speaker 7: mode and need a win. I have a lineup question
Speaker 7: wide receiver wise. I got T Higgins, Tyreek Helan, and
Speaker 7: Pittman Junior. Currently starting deeling in my flex and wondering
Speaker 7: if I should pick up MVS over THELAN for healing
Speaker 7: poor matchup for the week.
Speaker 1: That's a good question, Uh No, I would not, feeling
Speaker 1: in my mind THELAN is the target monster. They're going
Speaker 1: to be playing from behind. He's gonna get volume, He's
Speaker 1: really good in just like short separation, which I think
Speaker 1: makes him great. MVS is too volatile. It's two or
Speaker 1: three catches. It does have big touchdown play. I personally
Speaker 1: am going with Adam Thielen in that one. What's say
Speaker 1: you Rickson?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I prefer Adam feel and I think
Speaker 3: that you know MVS is probably gonna do his same
Speaker 3: old song and d answer. He'll catch one pass for deep, deep,
Speaker 3: deep yardage, maybe scores touchdown.
Speaker 1: Why don't we bet his longest reception every single week?
Speaker 3: I mean, he's facing the Giants this week, and the
Speaker 3: Giants are horrible against the deep ball, so.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see if it's even upright now.
Speaker 3: I don't disagree with you, and I would say I
Speaker 3: don't want to drop Feeling because he has more matchups
Speaker 3: after the Eagles. He gets Dallas, Arizona and Tampa Bay
Speaker 3: in week seventeen, Like you might be playing field in
Speaker 3: your Fantas Football Championships against Tampa Bay. So keep him.
Speaker 1: Cowards won't release it, by the way, they got some
Speaker 1: other ones. I won't really release the MVS tape. Please,
Speaker 1: we want the longest reception that I'm looking for. Baby. Oh,
Speaker 1: here's a little tease. I have a longest reception prop
Speaker 1: for the prop show. I'm betting pros with you and
Speaker 1: I and Piez of p. I haven't put a longest
Speaker 1: reception prop one time the entire year. I was a
Speaker 1: part of our card. It's part of my card this week,
Speaker 1: or the longest reception that I love. So there's a
Speaker 1: little teaser betting pros the best props for the week,
Speaker 1: Eric's and myself and Joe Pizza Pa, stay in your lane?
Speaker 1: What's up? What's up? What's up?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 2: I have two things.
Speaker 4: One of them is a funny fab story from one
Speaker 4: of my leagues. This guy spent ninety two dollars out
Speaker 4: of his hundred dollars budget on the Eagles defense this week.
Speaker 4: I thought you would find that humorous.
Speaker 1: No, what was the I mean.
Speaker 4: No, either no one else did on the Eagles defense
Speaker 4: and he got clowned.
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, so I'm I'm with wanting to get it.
Speaker 1: Had he not spent a dollar all season? And he
Speaker 1: just like it was all.
Speaker 4: Of the remaining budget. He spent eight dollars and then
Speaker 4: in week fourteen he said, I need ninety two dollars
Speaker 4: on Eagles detense.
Speaker 8: To be sued.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm all about that defense this week, but
Speaker 1: that's like a it's like a ten dollars, all right,
Speaker 1: I like that is he still getting clowned to this
Speaker 1: like minute?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean someone also put twenty dollars on McPherson,
Speaker 4: and I made sure to call that out since McPherson's
Speaker 4: now out for like four weeks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just got we got put on the ir well,
Speaker 1: you know, make sure to hit him back up when
Speaker 1: the Panthers score twenty four or something like that, and
Speaker 1: we'll remind him, a right, what's the what else you got?
Speaker 4: So I've got Rico, Dowdell, Tuba Hubbard, and Bresee Hall
Speaker 4: heading into the playoffs, as well as Brian Robinson. I'm
Speaker 4: not worried about about Robinson. But those three running backs
Speaker 4: in Daldell, Hubbard, and Hall, where would you rank them?
Speaker 4: You know, looking at that playoff schedule and you know,
Speaker 4: just kind of a one two three if you don't mind.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, Dowdell, Hubbard and I also thought I took
Speaker 1: myself off the stage here. I thought we were gonna
Speaker 1: I'm pulling up the rest of season schedule, strength of schedule.
Speaker 1: Thought we were going to talk about this week, because
Speaker 1: I was going to say, actually, like Cuba the least
Speaker 1: of all of those running backs this week. So we
Speaker 1: have Hall, Dowdell, and Cuba. The ranks say Hall has
Speaker 1: the fourth or the rest of season schedule. Hall has
Speaker 1: the fourth best strength of schedule, Dowdell is the tenth best,
Speaker 1: and I already for in Cuba is down at the
Speaker 1: bottom ten a two star rating. So that's how the
Speaker 1: strength of schedule says it. Mister Andrew Rickson, what say
Speaker 1: the rest of ericson strength of schedule?
Speaker 9: Say?
Speaker 3: Yeah, my rankings have Hall one and then Hubbard and Dowdell.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's pretty close.
Speaker 3: So I think it's more of a kind of like
Speaker 3: a COINI it depends on what we see from like
Speaker 3: Jonathan Brooks, right, because like Dowdell is the bell cow
Speaker 3: for the Dallas Cowboys rest of the season.
Speaker 2: Like, I think that's pretty clear.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hubbard maybe not so much because now we're seeing
Speaker 3: Brooks get a little bit more involved. I think that
Speaker 3: Hubbard and Dowdell have similar schedule and you look at
Speaker 3: just who they have to play, so I mean they're
Speaker 3: playing each other again. We talked about this on one
Speaker 3: of the trade shows. I think in week fifteen it's
Speaker 3: Cowboys Panthers, right, they're playing each other, and I remember
Speaker 3: be like, all right, Welsh, who do you want?
Speaker 2: Do you want?
Speaker 3: Maybe it was Chuba Hubard and Ricot Dade's like, which,
Speaker 3: which which side do you want?
Speaker 2: Of this? Of this coin here?
Speaker 3: We'll have to go back and listen to that episode
Speaker 3: to see, uh, which which player we each?
Speaker 1: I feel like it was Dowdell and somebody else, But
Speaker 1: it's a great matchup for both of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so those are good matchups for those players. Arizona
Speaker 3: and Tampa Bay round up for Cuba. And then with Rico,
Speaker 3: I believe he has the I mean he has Tampa
Speaker 3: Bay and Philadelphia, so I mean pretty good schedules most
Speaker 3: of the part. There's a couple of tough matchups in there,
Speaker 3: like Week seventeen Agains the Eagles, like you're not gonna
Speaker 3: want to play Ricau Dadell. I think that they're both
Speaker 3: kind of like nah, like back end RB two's restless season.
Speaker 3: I mean, Breestell is healthy, like he has the best
Speaker 3: schedule and he's the best running back, but I don't
Speaker 3: really know how healthy he is at this point. He
Speaker 3: had another DNP here on Thursday, so we don't know
Speaker 3: if he's going to play.
Speaker 1: That's the big thing. My playbook is not just a

Speaker 1: right here, we got go to the front. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: got you. Hello, Hey guys, are we're good?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Not too much?
Speaker 10: Not too much? Getting close to that nitty gritty playoff,
Speaker 10: So I thought I'd ask you a few questions.
Speaker 1: If that's cool, let's do it.
Speaker 10: Okay. So I started out I'm in first place PS,
Speaker 10: but I got lucky with a couple of wide receivers
Speaker 10: at the start, and then I was planning on trading
Speaker 10: a few AKAA Garrett and DeVante Adams. However, my Godwin
Speaker 10: got hurt so I lost him. So I'm riding those
Speaker 10: two boys for the rest of the season. I also
Speaker 10: have Brian Thomas in the bench area there. Did I
Speaker 10: just stick with the Jets or what do you? What
Speaker 10: do you think there?
Speaker 1: Oh? Man? Those two ers? Where are you at with that?
Speaker 1: Because like, I'm just a pro Garrett Wilson guy every
Speaker 1: single week, and I just feel like, I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: Rogers likes Davante, but it sometimes just amounts to Man,
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like the upside play is Garrett
Speaker 1: Wilson and Brian Thomas over Adams. I think that's how
Speaker 1: I have it in ranks. Ericson what say you.
Speaker 3: For this week? Yeah, I think that's probably the move.
Speaker 3: I thought he was talking more like rest of the season.
Speaker 2: He's did you mean the playoff? Yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 3: Don't like having two Jets players because like one of
Speaker 3: them is going to eat and the other ones not.
Speaker 2: I mean, the Jets have a good schedule.
Speaker 3: They play the rate they play the Jaguars in the
Speaker 3: rams like and you think that okay, Like Rogers, like
Speaker 3: the season's over, but like he probably doesn't want to
Speaker 3: go out like this, like he wants like maybe he
Speaker 3: puts up number I don't know, but like the I mean,
Speaker 3: the Jaguars are like historically bad on defense. Like if
Speaker 3: Rogers is ever gonna throw for three hundred yards, it
Speaker 3: would be against the Jacksonville Jaguars, if he even cares.
Speaker 2: But again, I'll.
Speaker 1: Strength the schedule, by the way, real quick. Brian Thomas
Speaker 1: and the Jags are the third worst strength of schedule
Speaker 1: for wide receivers fourteen through seventeen. The Jets wide receivers
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson DeVante the third best among wide receivers weeks
Speaker 1: fourteenth through seventeen, So Jets wide receivers might be the
Speaker 1: play Vans. Did you have a did you have another question?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Thanks for that, And I got the old Kyle Pitts
Speaker 10: syndrome going on here as well. I was lucky to
Speaker 10: pick up Tucker Kraft. Should I just ride Craft as well?
Speaker 2: Or what?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well, Kraft played and he did pretty good. Here's what
Speaker 1: I can say. It was better than Kyle Pitts. But
Speaker 1: here's the problem. Ericson and I are on opposite planets
Speaker 1: on Kyle Pits and Kyle Pits production this week. So
Speaker 1: I'm a negative Nancy on Kyle Pitts. Hypothetically, Ericson, even
Speaker 1: though he already played, would you have played Kyle Pitts
Speaker 1: over Tucker Craft.
Speaker 3: No, I had Tucker Craft going in a league. Somebody
Speaker 3: dropped Kyle Pits in that same league, and as as
Speaker 3: much I wanted to just stick them into, but I
Speaker 3: I still like I want Craft. So even though I
Speaker 3: like Kyle Pits a lot, this.
Speaker 1: Week, what was your what's your rank on Pits twelve?
Speaker 1: Do you have Pits or Disley? Oh Pit?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have him at twelve, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, oh, Pits or Noah Gray is a fun one,
Speaker 1: but I bet you.
Speaker 3: Have I have Disleey Ahead, I have Dizsney hide and
Speaker 3: I have Pits.
Speaker 2: Yeah it Pits twelve, Disley's ahead of him.
Speaker 1: What about Noah Gray? I have Pits, I have no
Speaker 1: a Gray one spot ahead of Pits right now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I want no Agree to be better, and
Speaker 1: I feel like I want to keep moving him up.
Speaker 1: But I need to be realistic with myself. But four
Speaker 1: straight weeks four recepts or three straight weeks or four
Speaker 1: receptions not bad? How many Kyle Pits have last three weeks?
Speaker 2: He has one catch the last two games?
Speaker 1: Why why he is so athletically talented? Why can he?
Speaker 2: Is he?
Speaker 1: What is his separation score? Is it just the worst?
Speaker 3: I don't dude, I'm just waiting. Dude, He's gonna be
Speaker 3: so good in twenty twenty nine on the Commanders.
Speaker 1: Just I mean, as soon as he Dreddas has a
Speaker 1: good point. We never did put a bet on our
Speaker 1: Kyle Pits versus Juwan Johnson for this week. I already
Speaker 1: have a bet going with piece of Pia from the
Speaker 1: out of Bound show The Nails Painted Caleb Williams bet.
Speaker 1: What could we bet? Dreddi's is shaved ahead, but we
Speaker 1: can't lose more hair here at Fantasy pros We've only
Speaker 1: got so much hair to go around. Is there anything
Speaker 1: else you can think of?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean I'm trying to think what would be fitting
Speaker 3: for another Kyle pits, just like killing your fantasy team type.
Speaker 1: Of So here's an interesting one. Dreddis is saying, no
Speaker 1: face Erickson has a mustache? Do you You don't? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have kind of like the mustache thing going right.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's this hair that sometimes grows out of
Speaker 3: my face. I'm not really sure why you want to
Speaker 3: call it, but it's there sometimes.
Speaker 1: Maybe I could have a mustache for a show and
Speaker 1: then and then you could shave the mustache for a show.
Speaker 2: We should we shave our armpits because.
Speaker 1: Gross, what are we gonna show it on?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to think
Speaker 3: of ideas. I mean, his name is Kyle Pitts.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: We could put we could put the letter of the
Speaker 1: guy in the side of our hair. No, how about this,
Speaker 1: you guys listening put some comments? Yeah, I know you
Speaker 1: guys can do that, Like if you're listening on Spotify
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, feel free or tweet at us
Speaker 1: if you've got some ideas. We probably need it by
Speaker 1: like Saturday, no later. But I don't think the armpit
Speaker 1: one is super great. Just going to throw that out there.
Speaker 1: But maybe there's a mustache type of bet. We'll figure
Speaker 1: it out if you If you anything else comes up
Speaker 1: in the chat people are listening, feel free to throw
Speaker 1: out ideas for what our bet can be. But listen,
Speaker 1: I don't. I gotta be careful here. If I lose
Speaker 1: all my bets, I could have like a you know,
Speaker 1: Bert Reynolds mustache and painted fingernails. Like, I gotta be
Speaker 1: careful what's going on. I do have to be on
Speaker 1: video all week, so but we'll hear what you guys
Speaker 1: have to say. All right, let's get back to it.
Speaker 1: Let's get to Nick. Nick up and now Nick's always here.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 12: Nick?
Speaker 11: I have a questions for you regarding some flex situations
Speaker 11: and grease hall situations. So in one of my leagues,
Speaker 11: I got Grendo with only thirty five dollars fab somehow,
Speaker 11: but that is my remaining of it. They're down to zero.
Speaker 11: But I'm wondering between him and Tyrone Tracy. I'm assuming
Speaker 11: Chuba is a bench this week anyway, But if it
Speaker 11: would be Grendo or Tracy in the flex spot there.
Speaker 11: That's the first question.
Speaker 1: So that's actually a little bit. It's not quite what
Speaker 1: I was like. I like started the show with of
Speaker 1: saying it's it's cute or that might be a decision.
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit easier. I have Grendo higher,
Speaker 1: but I also really like Tracy this week and that
Speaker 1: matchup against New Orleans. I'm not sure it's really being
Speaker 1: cute or anything like that, but I got Grindo. Do
Speaker 1: you also, Erickson?
Speaker 2: So why do you have Grendo? Explain that to me?
Speaker 1: Why do I have Grendo over Tracy?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you say like Tracy?
Speaker 1: Right, you know, I do like Trey. I like Tracy
Speaker 1: for a touchdown, but I also like Grendo for it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that it's the run game against
Speaker 1: the Bears is an absolutely obtainable thing. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna get eighteen plus carries. I think he's gonna be
Speaker 1: involved in the pass game. I think the Niners are
Speaker 1: going to run away with this game. Honestly, even though
Speaker 1: I laid down the spread a little bit, and I
Speaker 1: think it's going to lay on a decent amount of Grindo.
Speaker 1: Now here's the only thing I'm worried about. They get
Speaker 1: into the five and Grindo gets out and it becomes
Speaker 1: Debo running it in, and that takes away some of
Speaker 1: that upside. But I think from a volume standpoint, Grindo
Speaker 1: is a top twelve back. I'm a I'm a tiny
Speaker 1: bit worried about where some of that volume has gone
Speaker 1: with Devin singletaryes, Tracy's got nine carries in two straight games.
Speaker 1: He's a little bit more involved in the passing game,
Speaker 1: and I think Singletary took away a red zone option.
Speaker 1: So I guess I'm hedging a little bit where I'm like,
Speaker 1: I like Tracy, but his volume has gone down and
Speaker 1: Grindo should be a minimum fifteen carried. Guy, are you
Speaker 1: on the opposite end?
Speaker 3: I thought that I might be, because you know we're
Speaker 3: doing all this, like all this is Grenda is projecting, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: we have no idea what his role is gonna be,
Speaker 3: like no clue. Whereas Tyring again, like these are both
Speaker 3: rookie running backs, right, Tyron Tracy has earned the job
Speaker 3: as the starting running back on the Giants like he
Speaker 3: earned his way again. An injury helped so I guess
Speaker 3: for me, it's just like, are we hoping that Grendo
Speaker 3: like has the tyrone Tracy roll right that Tracy has
Speaker 3: already shown to have. Now that being said, I kind
Speaker 3: of I don't want to say I disagree with the
Speaker 3: touch projection for Girndo, but I I almost don't really
Speaker 3: care because he's a running back that has shown I
Speaker 3: only need ten carries and I can get it done
Speaker 3: like he's explosive. So I feel like we might have
Speaker 3: more outs with Grendo, even if we look up and
Speaker 3: it's like, oh man, like Deebo got more carries than
Speaker 3: we thought they used Patrick Taylor and it's like weird
Speaker 3: receipt role or whatever, And then you gotta feel bad.
Speaker 3: You look at the final touches, you're like, oh man,
Speaker 3: that wasn't that great. But Rondo's good. He fits the
Speaker 3: scheme so in a kind of like a Bucky Irving fashion,
Speaker 3: he gets it done even though his role maybe wasn't
Speaker 3: as glamorous as we thought it would be. And then,
Speaker 3: as I like to do with some of these tougher questions,
Speaker 3: you zoom out, do you want to start the Giants
Speaker 3: running back or the forty nine.
Speaker 1: Ers running Yeah. No, that's a really good state way
Speaker 1: to put it.
Speaker 3: And when you simplify it that way, like they just
Speaker 3: give me the forty nine ers running back, like yeah,
Speaker 3: So I have him ranked close together, So I think
Speaker 3: that it is tight, but I think yeah, kind of
Speaker 3: just working through and thinking more about it, I think
Speaker 3: Rendo is probably safer. I think both guys have similar
Speaker 3: ceiling plays because remember, I Tracey doesn't score a touchdown
Speaker 3: last week against Dallas, like he would have been a
Speaker 3: bust and that was against Dallas.
Speaker 1: I'll also throw a couple little things out there. Bears
Speaker 1: are on average giving up one hundred and sixteen yards
Speaker 1: per game rushing to running backs. Six straight weeks, a
Speaker 1: running back has had at least sixty yard or more
Speaker 1: rushing and that running back has had sixteen or more carries,
Speaker 1: and the Bears have given up thirty or more carries
Speaker 1: in three of the last five games against So I
Speaker 1: like Grindo's chances, but there is again this is coming
Speaker 1: back to like there's a little bit of theory, like
Speaker 1: we've known what we've gotten Tracy. I just don't like
Speaker 1: the touches going down. So sorry, that was a lot. Nick,
Speaker 1: You've just been hanging around, didn't do you have a
Speaker 1: DoD you have another one?
Speaker 11: I do, and I totally agree with you guys. That's
Speaker 11: sort of what I've been racking my brain between. So
Speaker 11: in my other league, I'm trying to figure out if
Speaker 11: Breese Hall is healthy, which I know is a big
Speaker 11: question mark at this point, whether I should go with
Speaker 11: like Brian Thomas Junior or Breese or if Bree's out,
Speaker 11: if Brayln or Brian Thomas Junior would be a better
Speaker 11: flex it's half PPR league. Then the other nuanced question
Speaker 11: to this one, Kim Kaid is probably going to be back.
Speaker 11: I would start him at my tight end spot. But
Speaker 11: on the wire there also guys like Will Disley, Ferguson
Speaker 11: if he's back, Juwan Johnson, Uh, curious what you guys
Speaker 11: think about both that flex situation and tight end situation.
Speaker 1: We'll come to the tight end in a second. If
Speaker 1: Erickson follow me here, because I think you're gonna agree
Speaker 1: Brace Hall over Brian Thomas easy, and if Bree is out,
Speaker 1: Braylan Allen over Brian Thomas. Easy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The only way I would consider Brian Thomas is now,
Speaker 2: you probably wouldn't consider him really yeah.
Speaker 1: Like if they were like Bree is super hurt and
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a limited workload and then both of
Speaker 1: them are eating into each other like maybe Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I was gonna say, like maybe if I'm like
Speaker 3: a massive underdog, just because I think that the Jets
Speaker 3: just they have a cap ceiling in general, but Brian
Speaker 3: Thomas can make plays on his own. So if I'm
Speaker 3: like a massive underdog, maybe I chase the ceiling with
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas as being like this absurdly talented rookie that
Speaker 3: can rip off one hundred receiving yards without mac Jones
Speaker 3: essentially doesn't even better. But yeah, I would probably just
Speaker 3: take the touch with Raymon. Allen went overthink it as
Speaker 3: for the tight end, I mean, why do you want
Speaker 3: to start doing kink Aid? Like what is what has
Speaker 3: he done at any point this year where we think, oh,
Speaker 3: he's a leak title that we can start every week?
Speaker 1: So so would you you would dump him for Disley?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean he's a land mine, isn't he.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm not like making a case for him.
Speaker 3: I think I think I'd rather face kank Aid, Like
Speaker 3: if my opponent picks up Kate plays him against me.
Speaker 3: It's like similar to if your opponent picks picks up
Speaker 3: Kyle Pits and plays him against you, like I know
Speaker 3: you're feeling great well if you're facing fits in your
Speaker 3: line up this week.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
Speaker 3: It's a sneaky play this week, Coyle pits just when
Speaker 3: you just when you think it's safe to bench him
Speaker 3: and cut him from your lineup.
Speaker 2: This is when he strikes all.
Speaker 1: Right back in one oh oh yeah, so we did
Speaker 1: the tight end. I want to go back to one
Speaker 1: thing real quick. On the Garrinda stuff. He's the topic
Speaker 1: of du jour and if you don't have him, you're
Speaker 1: probably like a little bit disinterested. But I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've looked. I have two different sites here, give
Speaker 1: me what you think and unless you've looked, and you're
Speaker 1: going to ruin this his projection. I have Fantasy Pros
Speaker 1: projections and I also have PFF projections. PFF sometimes can
Speaker 1: be like a little bit up. I like to use
Speaker 1: them a lot. But what do you think Grinda's projections are?
Speaker 1: Obviously knowing he doesn't have a backdrop or anything like that,
Speaker 1: and what the number is, and then I'll and maybe
Speaker 1: even where he ranks among running backs, like in projected
Speaker 1: rushing yards.
Speaker 3: So you don't want like a fantasy points projection, you
Speaker 3: just want like his like stat line.
Speaker 1: Let's start with yards for a second.
Speaker 2: I would say like.
Speaker 3: Sixty five all purpose yards all purpose okay, like right
Speaker 3: rushing and receiving yards.
Speaker 1: Okay, Fantasy pros our projections have all purpose yards eighty
Speaker 1: one sixty nine on the ground, twelve receiving. That is
Speaker 1: the eighth most rushing yards pff I, I give out their eggs. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of kind of They're fine, go sub to them.
Speaker 1: They're great. Fourth most rushing yards among all running backs,
Speaker 1: over a hundred all purpose yards between rushing and receiving.
Speaker 1: A pretty wild receiving number as well. It's actually almost
Speaker 1: looks like they just put Christian McCaffrey in there the
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros Fantasy points though for Grinda. So here's where
Speaker 1: things get tricky in half PPR, He's I mean, I
Speaker 1: can't even know, I don't you can know everybody in
Speaker 1: the number. It's about eighteen, somewhere between eighteen and twenty.
Speaker 1: And guess what, Tyrone Tracy projects higher in Fantasy points
Speaker 1: even though Grindo is the eighth highest projected rushing yards.
Speaker 1: So I think the big thing between the sites is
Speaker 1: a projected receiving yard number that PFF is putting on there.
Speaker 1: But PFF's got one hundred total all purpose yards, Grindo's
Speaker 1: eight on Fantasy pros projections, but they don't have the
Speaker 1: receiving side and his it's eleven point seven points. That's
Speaker 1: under Dubtle, that's under Tracy, that's under Swift. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I fully agree with some of this,
Speaker 1: but it is just not as high as the rushing
Speaker 1: yard total. So I just want to throw that out.
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on that.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's again, it's a projection, right, if they
Speaker 3: don't use any of these other running backs, then this
Speaker 3: is all correct. But what like sometimes they just do,
Speaker 3: like there are guys that like get random carries that
Speaker 3: we didn't even know we're on the team, and like
Speaker 3: what what I guaranteed none of these projections are even
Speaker 3: in the same ballpark when it comes to Debos rushing.
Speaker 2: What's his what are his rushing projections?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're all I'm sure they're all over the
Speaker 3: place because it's like, well, what's his role going to be?
Speaker 3: Like this is again I think Arendo like for most
Speaker 3: intensive purposes, you're going to start him like you picked
Speaker 3: him up. You're probably going to start them their six
Speaker 3: teams on by like if you have the luxury of
Speaker 3: not having to play him, like I guess like patch
Speaker 3: yourself on the back. But I think he's gonna be
Speaker 3: a good start. I think that he's going to get
Speaker 3: at least sixty rushing yards. I think he's probably gonna score.
Speaker 3: I don't think you're gonna look up be like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, I'm an idiot. I started Grendo like, maybe
Speaker 3: he do start him over someone that gets more points,
Speaker 3: but I don't think that his output is going to
Speaker 3: be like I'm massively disappointed.
Speaker 1: Tracy's close to one where you might be like like
Speaker 1: if you sat him for Tracy and whatever. By the way,
Speaker 1: last thing, and then let's get back to some questions
Speaker 1: from the audience. What do you think the project I
Speaker 1: have both the projector from PFF and Fantasy pros the
Speaker 1: rushing yards for debo. What do you think it looks like?
Speaker 12: Man?
Speaker 3: Because I feel like it could be as like high
Speaker 3: as like thirty five. But then I would say, probably
Speaker 3: he's going to be a little bit more like less
Speaker 3: aggressive because we haven't seen in a while. So I'll
Speaker 3: say like twenty twenty rushing yards twenty two and a half,
Speaker 3: twenty one and a half.
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros is eight, and the PFF is ten. Oh well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I totally agree with you. I think I
Speaker 1: think he can have more rushing yards than receiving yards
Speaker 1: this week. To be honest with you, like, it's just
Speaker 1: a very interesting element that the rushing yard projection is
Speaker 1: not projecting Debo. But I had some people like just
Speaker 1: losing their mud dog talking to do Bo. He doesn't
Speaker 1: do anything, and it's like, well, no, like this is
Speaker 1: where he might because McCaffrey is out, Mason is out,
Speaker 1: this is where the niners and now they might not
Speaker 1: do it, but this is in theory where they would
Speaker 1: do that. That's why there's just some weird It's good
Speaker 1: to be asking these questions and we can work through
Speaker 1: it live, but at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be hard for really anybody to come off of
Speaker 1: being like, don't start Grenda unless it maybe is a
Speaker 1: gunst like a brief hall. But I think that's the tyrone.
Speaker 1: Tracy one is like it's a perfect line. It's a
Speaker 1: perfect line of looking at this player and being like, oh,
Speaker 1: do you do it over Tracy.
Speaker 3: If anything, we would just love to get some Kyle
Speaker 3: Shanahan coach speak where he comes out and says, Yep,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna use a running back by committee.
Speaker 3: Everyone's gonna get equal touches because I mean I'm actually
Speaker 3: all right, no for twenty.
Speaker 2: Five yep, rely know, grenda fire him up? Baby?
Speaker 1: Does anyone? What is his coach speaking? You know, there's
Speaker 1: like that Twitter account do we know?
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I don't need in the index
Speaker 3: to say that he's you know, full of uh exploit
Speaker 3: is right? Like the dude just oh yeah, mcaffy's fine,
Speaker 3: and then he doesn't play like the entire season, and
Speaker 3: then he comes back and then oh yeah, we're not sure,
Speaker 3: we'll like ease him in. And Christ McCaffrey is like
Speaker 3: a drug to Kyle Shannon and any guy can't stop
Speaker 3: using him even though this is a fragile asset, and
Speaker 3: he just doesn't.
Speaker 1: So I created a new Broadway play on out of
Speaker 1: Bounds You go again? Yeah, yeah, exactly, Drey to just
Speaker 1: put in there. It's called Lies the musical. Go and
Speaker 1: check it out. It's on Out of Bounds on the
Speaker 1: on YouTube. You can watch it. It's great and it's
Speaker 1: my new musical and it's all about Kyle Shanahan. It's
Speaker 1: just called Lies Lies. Alan, it's up, Allen. We're getting
Speaker 1: back to you guys. Hopefully it's not a great week.
Speaker 1: There's no way there can be any more grendo questions.
Speaker 1: We should have answered them all.
Speaker 2: We're trying to. Yeah, try to hit it on all.
Speaker 1: It's an important thing, exactly, all right, Alan Read you
Speaker 1: didn't want to come up, Just come on back, sir Buckets.
Speaker 1: Oh hello, what's up those? What's going on?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 13: I got a dynasty question and that's cool with you all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, throw it at us.
Speaker 13: So I'm looking to acquire Cuba Hubbard for the playoffs
Speaker 13: and I'm considering giving up two seconds and a fourth.
Speaker 1: How big of a League.
Speaker 2: Ten team?
Speaker 1: Okay, so you get what does your current running back
Speaker 1: situation look like? Because I like, Tuba is not necessarily
Speaker 1: my favorite for the rest of this season, solid dynasty
Speaker 1: with a contract extension, but also really, I mean, Jonathan
Speaker 1: Brooks looks good. What does your running back situation look
Speaker 1: like is it abysmal?
Speaker 13: It's actually not bad.
Speaker 2: My wide receivers aren't great.
Speaker 13: I haven't been able to find anyone they trade for
Speaker 13: four wide receivers. So but for running backs, I have
Speaker 13: Henry Jacobs, James Cook, and Montgomery. I just picked up Corando,
Speaker 13: so I actually do have a good amount.
Speaker 1: I mean you're not trading him for the playoffs?
Speaker 4: Really?
Speaker 2: I mean I I don't I hate this trade?
Speaker 1: Oh do you hate it? You hate giving up? See,
Speaker 1: I I are willy nilly give up picks? Like I
Speaker 1: hear two seconds and a fourth, I'm like, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: Like there's impact in those later rounds. But then I
Speaker 1: hear a ten team and I'm like, oh that's a
Speaker 1: little bit better. But you hate this bad boy?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I don't want to trade for tube Hover right now.
Speaker 3: I mean what if he goes out in bombs another week?
Speaker 3: Then where's his value at? Like, like you can look
Speaker 3: up one week after this and immediately regretless trade.
Speaker 1: But like, if you're making this trade though, you're you're
Speaker 1: kind of giving yourself a little bit of support for
Speaker 1: as a backup because you're not playing him, except maybe
Speaker 1: that like Dallas game, you're giving your support, but then
Speaker 1: you're playing him into future years and covering from Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: So like, is it really that like if you look
Speaker 1: at it from the grand scheme and not just like
Speaker 1: over the next couple of weeks. Do you buy it
Speaker 1: a little bit more? A couple of seconds for Cuba Hubbard?
Speaker 1: Does that too much?
Speaker 2: I think it is.
Speaker 3: I mean, I get that they signed the contract, but
Speaker 3: they also drafted trumping Brooks in the second round. No,
Speaker 3: and it took what one game for us to look, wow,
Speaker 3: jnth Brooks looks.
Speaker 1: Really he does look really good. That's right.
Speaker 2: He played like one. He finally got a touch. We're like,
Speaker 2: oh man, oh, this is the guy that we were
Speaker 2: all obsessed.
Speaker 1: And it's like the thing I don't love is if
Speaker 1: they became like Rashad White Bucky and Jonathan Brooks took
Speaker 1: the Bucky thing. The Panther's offense is just not like
Speaker 1: the box and it says like, I don't know how
Speaker 1: they're gonna work in that. But I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't hate it like you do. It's not a first
Speaker 1: round pick.
Speaker 12: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't need to give up two seconds and
Speaker 1: push you have a ton of depth. I don't know
Speaker 1: when you would ever start Cuba, But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just not against it. I'm trying to think, like,
Speaker 1: what the hell does that second round pick really look
Speaker 1: like next year? Unfortunately as a ten team, And if
Speaker 1: it wraps around and you win, that could be like
Speaker 1: a thirteen or fourteenth rookie pick. If you don't and
Speaker 1: you just swing the first round over each time, that's
Speaker 1: like a twenties.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't hate it as much, all right, kind of
Speaker 1: rapid fire a little bit. Oh, I forgot to get
Speaker 1: Allen in here. Egg boy, egg boy? What's up? Hello?
Speaker 14: You can hear me?
Speaker 1: Well, you've got a great mic man. Yeah, what's up dude?
Speaker 14: Two quarterbacks is Gino and Winston?
Speaker 2: I picked up?
Speaker 14: Because so I have Gibbs, I have Williams, I have
Speaker 14: Kamara as my running backs. I got Grinda. So the
Speaker 14: real question is do I play Gorendo Whil's up injured?
Speaker 14: Do I play either of them over Gino?
Speaker 1: Or Okay? So that still broke up a whole bunch,
Speaker 1: But the question sounds like it was, do you play
Speaker 1: Grendo over either one of those picked up quarterbacks? In
Speaker 1: super flex Gino and Winston ericson.
Speaker 12: No.
Speaker 3: I just you just have such a high floor with quarterbacks,
Speaker 3: like they don't even have to play good and they
Speaker 3: can still get like sixteen fantasy points like they get
Speaker 3: sixty eight. Wasn't a bad game, Like the floors is
Speaker 3: way too high. And I know that sometimes it doesn't
Speaker 3: always work out where you have a skill player that
Speaker 3: outscores a quarterback. But I mean, nine times out of ten,
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks usually outscore the skill players. I just I
Speaker 3: don't think you need to overthink it.
Speaker 2: So I just play the two kbs.
Speaker 1: Which one would you do? By the way, if it
Speaker 1: was because I don't think he meant he was starting
Speaker 1: both of them. If you had to start just Gino
Speaker 1: or Winston, would you go, yeah, A volume.
Speaker 2: He's not.
Speaker 3: He's I mean, he's basically like matchup proof because he
Speaker 3: like creates his own I mean, he creates his own
Speaker 3: fantasy value.
Speaker 2: With the way he pla.
Speaker 3: Like he gives like more opportunities because he's like, oh,
Speaker 3: we need more targets, pick six coming your way.
Speaker 1: It's true, dude, I used to like It's good. I
Speaker 1: don't do as much anymore like my my in this
Speaker 1: League Show. I'm doing it for ten years. In the
Speaker 1: first couple of years, just because I have a like
Speaker 1: radio and audio background, I would just like sit there
Speaker 1: and re listen to the whole show and edit clips
Speaker 1: in I would you like parody songs? I do just
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and it would it consumes me and
Speaker 1: it would take like five hours and it was totally
Speaker 1: not worth it. But to me, I'm like, okay, great.
Speaker 1: When I hear Jameis Winston speak, I want a super cut.
Speaker 1: I want one of those like you know they somebody
Speaker 1: takes a meme, you know, like the hoktoor and they
Speaker 1: turn into a song. Or I need a super cut
Speaker 1: of Jameis Winston and his his stuff where he's just
Speaker 1: like you know, the snow or God Deliver Me from
Speaker 1: Pick six is just he's just a He's an electric factory.
Speaker 1: I just need a super cut of all the amazing
Speaker 1: things he said. Someone, Please don't make me do it.
Speaker 1: I don't have the time and if I start, I
Speaker 1: will get consumed. Please somebody else do it for me.
Speaker 1: God I love him. Alan, we will try you again,
Speaker 1: say we can get you out. What's up allan?
Speaker 15: Okay, So I guess I'm kind of piling on the
Speaker 15: Isaac Garendo talk. I have bris Hall obviously his status
Speaker 15: is looking kind of doubtful for this week. Believe it
Speaker 15: or not, both Isaa Guendo and Brailan Allen are both
Speaker 15: available on waivers. Who would you like this week to
Speaker 15: have a higher website game assuming Brisal is word out?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think we can assume bres Hall is out.
Speaker 1: I'm picking up Grendo and I'm going with it. It's
Speaker 1: actually a good question. I thought this was going to
Speaker 1: be Breuce Hall or Garendo Erickson first answer that, Brishall
Speaker 1: or Grendo, And then would you rather if Haul is out,
Speaker 1: Grindo or Alan.
Speaker 3: Because they'll probably play bres if he's healthy. But again
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, he did in DNP Thursday
Speaker 3: and Wednesday last week and he played, but this week
Speaker 3: he has done that, so I don't like his chances
Speaker 3: of playing. And I think that if you're gonna just
Speaker 3: pick up one of those guys anyway, you just try
Speaker 3: to pick up Grendo. Yeah, so you know, because he
Speaker 3: not only has again like Braylen, Allen might be one
Speaker 3: week of value. There's no other running back left for
Speaker 3: the fy nin Ers. I mean, they brought in some guys,
Speaker 3: but he has more value not just this week potentially,
Speaker 3: but the rest of it. So that's something you have
Speaker 3: to keep in mind with you're making these waiver wire
Speaker 3: decisions like and even like start sit decisions like if
Speaker 3: you cut a guy to add this other guy because
Speaker 3: that you like him more this week, that's fine, but
Speaker 3: then what happens next week?
Speaker 1: And as long as there is a next week though, yes,
Speaker 1: that's all you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so obviously you need to cater to if
Speaker 3: I have to win this week, then you can't really
Speaker 3: think about what's going on next week. You have to
Speaker 3: do all everything in your power to win this one game.
Speaker 3: But if you all start considering like the playoff run,
Speaker 3: like yeah, you want Grendo because he has less competition
Speaker 3: and Braylan Allen is depended on well Hall missus this
Speaker 3: week or what he plays next week, then you can't
Speaker 3: play Allen. And then you're also rostering two spots kind
Speaker 3: of for like one player between Hall and Allen, whereas Grenda.
Speaker 3: Now you have a Jets running back and a four
Speaker 3: nine is running back. She could play them both technically
Speaker 3: if they're both healthy.
Speaker 1: Dude, So I I just this surge just came through
Speaker 1: me of just Corinda fails. We're talking so much about Grinda.
Speaker 1: I'm worried this is going to be a moment in time.
Speaker 1: There's no reason behind it. By the way, everything we've
Speaker 1: talked about, like it's a good matchup, you can run
Speaker 1: on the Bears, it is Grinda. There's just something sick
Speaker 1: in my brain that like you're bringing up Mike Boone
Speaker 1: and I'm just having this flash of like, my god,
Speaker 1: we are talking so much about Grinda. If he fails, well,
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 3: God, I mean but that's again like you have to
Speaker 3: weigh like the risk reward. Yeah, yeah, he's all projectioned,
Speaker 3: like he's projection, like you don't know what his role
Speaker 3: is going to be, Like we're all.
Speaker 1: On everybody is on board, but it's as we don't
Speaker 1: really know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and sometimes very long.
Speaker 3: But again going back to the outs conversation, right, why
Speaker 3: I feel confident about Grendo because what are we concerned about,
Speaker 3: like the workload. If the workload's not there, well, what
Speaker 3: does that leave you? Oh, it leaves you with a
Speaker 3: running back on the fort and I ers offense that's
Speaker 3: usually pretty good in a good overall matchup against a
Speaker 3: pretty bad Bears run defense with a guy that has
Speaker 3: gotten it done when he's gotten at least ten carries,
Speaker 3: like he's gonna get ten carries, right, Like, I don't
Speaker 3: think that's over projecting him in any way, shape or one.
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty safe.
Speaker 1: He's projected run sixteen seventeen across both the sides, by
Speaker 1: the way.
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is I don't think he even
Speaker 3: needs to get there to like be fine in fantasy,
Speaker 3: because he's an explosive running back, because it's a good matchup. Again,
Speaker 3: like we've seen, number two running backs can produce against
Speaker 3: bad run defenses We've seen all year against the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 3: And again I don't say the Bears are in that
Speaker 3: range of bad run defenses, but they're not that far off.
Speaker 1: The only problem is the number two running back might
Speaker 1: be Debo in this one.
Speaker 2: That is also true.
Speaker 3: So again I think that for the most part, the
Speaker 3: process is pretty strong behind Corendo. And even if he
Speaker 3: doesn't get the insane amount of volume like I would
Speaker 3: probably you know, I'm the undertaker. I would probably go
Speaker 3: under on whatever his rushing attempts prop is, what.
Speaker 1: Do you think it'll open up? It hasn't opened up there,
Speaker 1: or at least like where I play. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: the number.
Speaker 3: I would probably say it's probably gonna be more around
Speaker 3: like maybe like sixteen and a half. I think that's
Speaker 3: probably like.
Speaker 1: Sixty wit, what did you say, sixty.
Speaker 2: Sixteen and a half? Like rushing attempts.
Speaker 1: Oh, attempts? Oh were you were saying attempts over yards?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Again, Like that's what I would bet against is his
Speaker 3: total carries, not his yardage, because okay, again, like he
Speaker 3: can rip off an eighty yard touchdown on one play
Speaker 3: because he's good and he's fast. So again, I think
Speaker 3: we could look up and say, wow, we were so
Speaker 3: wrong about the Garnda role, but it didn't matter because
Speaker 3: he was really efficient and it was it was a
Speaker 3: good matchup and he ended up scoring it, like because
Speaker 3: he again last week he scored right like nobody played
Speaker 3: them last week and he's still score right. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I think that we shouldn't overthink it too much. And
Speaker 3: I think that he's a good play and I don't
Speaker 3: think you're going to be like, oh god, maybe he's
Speaker 3: not the best play this week. Maybe he's not top
Speaker 3: ten running back, but I think that'll be to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I'm like, I'm just a sickle My brain
Speaker 1: is a sicko person, Like I don't want him to fail.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it, but it's just like,
Speaker 1: you know how you do the thing. Erickson did this
Speaker 1: to me a couple of weeks ago, where he was like,
Speaker 1: I think I had it was my dumb, idiot, stupid
Speaker 1: ladder bed on debo. He was like, how did you
Speaker 1: do in the early games? And I'm like, I killed it?
Speaker 1: And he's like all right, And then I what I
Speaker 1: knew was he wasn't going to play the Deebo one
Speaker 1: because just how the universe works, if I suck in
Speaker 1: all the early ones, probably going to hit some later ones.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing where I'm like, listen, Grenda's the play.
Speaker 1: It's the smart play, But my sicko brain is like,
Speaker 1: he will go down in infamy if he ends up
Speaker 1: having like a seven and Audrey Audric estimate like a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago where it's like thirteen yards on
Speaker 1: ten carries or something like that. Also, I want to

Speaker 1: a sick o brain and I don't want us to fail.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll have a couple more minutes, so let's
Speaker 1: do a little bit of lightning round with some of
Speaker 1: our our peeps here. Bh, per Low, Hey, are you
Speaker 1: guys doing We're doing good?
Speaker 9: Ude?
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 10: Cool?
Speaker 1: Yeah, big fan, first time on the show.
Speaker 9: I'm thanks, happy to be here.
Speaker 16: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I just had two quick questions. One of them was Dynasty,
Speaker 9: if that's cool with you guys. Yeah, So, I'm not
Speaker 9: sure if it's the right show of doing it on,
Speaker 9: but I was wondering if I could just send a
Speaker 9: picture of my lineup in here and see if it
Speaker 9: is a rebuild or not.
Speaker 6: Sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just throw the ask your other question while you're
Speaker 1: doing that and then yeah, yeah, okay. The other one
Speaker 1: was quick.
Speaker 9: I've got Stafford Russell Wilson and Jordan Love. Jordan Love
Speaker 9: kind of just been on the down with interceptions. I
Speaker 9: was seeing if you guys had one to start. I
Speaker 9: know Stafford's been doing pretty well, but again it's Stafford,
Speaker 9: russ and Love.
Speaker 1: I would have I started Love. Since this air started, Love.
Speaker 3: We Love looked pretty. I mean he threw four touchdowns.
Speaker 3: I get Christian Watson touchdown, Yeah, sick, those were great.
Speaker 3: You mean the Jaden Reid touchdown that I really really need.
Speaker 2: Well know, I'm talking about the second Christian Watson. Oh okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: after the first and retouched.
Speaker 1: That was the two that I really needed really bad
Speaker 1: for the FFPC. And just a basic look. As far
Speaker 1: as the lineup, when I see Lad McConkey and Nico
Speaker 1: Collins and Chase Brown, I feel like that's not a rebuild.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw that. I'm not gonna list off
Speaker 1: your entire team here. I can't even see the big
Speaker 1: giant one by the way. It's like some big long picture,
Speaker 1: but I see three guys that are like big key, Like,
Speaker 1: could you trade the Tony Pollard's in the can Allens
Speaker 1: of the world. Yeah, But I don't think that's like
Speaker 1: a rebuild. I don't know if you have any other
Speaker 1: quick thought, Erickson, No.
Speaker 3: I mean this seems like a team that can definitely
Speaker 3: like contend. I mean it sucks that it seems like
Speaker 3: you have a couple of pieces of that are just
Speaker 3: kind of trending in the wrong. Like Lamb obviously like
Speaker 3: not as good because he doesn't have his quarter of
Speaker 3: this year, so like he's not at the peak powers.
Speaker 3: But you have like some decent quarterbacks. Jonathan Taylor got
Speaker 3: another player that I mean, I think that there's some
Speaker 3: pieces that you could potentially get off of, Like you said,
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard, maybe Jonathan Taylor is.
Speaker 2: A piece that you.
Speaker 3: Know, I mean, he's not super simple and in the
Speaker 3: fact that we saw so many of these running backs
Speaker 3: re emerge just by being quote unquote older this past year,
Speaker 3: maybe he's the guy who want to hold on to.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: I think that this this roster has a lot of
Speaker 3: good pieces that it can definitely be contender, just like
Speaker 3: I think this year, just the the the cards haven't
Speaker 3: stacked in your favor. I would say, like, you know,
Speaker 3: Lamb is again your top two guys are Lamb and
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 1: And Nico, and Nico was out for time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So no, I think that.
Speaker 3: I mean, again, if those guys stay healthy, their quarterbacks
Speaker 3: stay healthy, then I think that you're looking at your
Speaker 3: team very differently. Also, you have a yuke on injury.
Speaker 3: I mean like, yeah, you have a lot of pieces,
Speaker 3: just like your key guys going into the year didn't
Speaker 3: stay healthy. So of course that's going to result in
Speaker 3: unless wins. So no, I don't think. I don't think
Speaker 3: that you're in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a good way for Dynasty to show
Speaker 1: like when you if you got these good builds, just
Speaker 1: because you had it down year doesn't mean it's a rebuild.
Speaker 1: It's just you can move some pieces. Also throughout, I
Speaker 1: think Bogwin was telling me FITZI, but Chase Brown is
Speaker 1: like RB five in Dynasty or something like something huge. So, uh,
Speaker 1: Chase Brown's a good one. All right, We're going to
Speaker 1: hit these last three here, Jay Bauer, Jay Bauer finishing
Speaker 1: up here with the last ones. What you got, dude?
Speaker 15: Tell me how you doing?
Speaker 1: We're doing good, dude? What's what's going down?
Speaker 2: I'll keep it.
Speaker 5: Quick for you. Watching my two star receivers, Uh just
Speaker 5: evaporate and Milik neighbors and Garrett Wilson. As a desperation move,
Speaker 5: because this is a to our die weekend for me,
Speaker 5: I picked up myers Ja Kobe. I don't know if
Speaker 5: I have the stones to play him. If I do,
Speaker 5: who do I play him over? And if I happen
Speaker 5: to win this week, you know, Lord Willie, do I
Speaker 5: continue to play him over? The person you tell me
Speaker 5: to play them over?
Speaker 1: Who was it?
Speaker 12: It was?
Speaker 1: Milik? And what was the other one? Garrett Wilson and
Speaker 1: Garrett Man?
Speaker 2: I am I will.
Speaker 3: I mean, I have Myers ranked once about behind Garrett Wilson,
Speaker 3: and I haven't ranked ahead of Melak Neighbors, so I would, honestly,
Speaker 3: I don't. You can play Myers over both of them
Speaker 3: if you really want to.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't think that that's that crazy. I would definitely
Speaker 3: play more over Neighbors. I've seen enough of this Giants thing.
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm done.
Speaker 3: Lest at least I've seen enough of Garrett Wilson where
Speaker 3: he's had these good.
Speaker 2: Games with Aaron Rodgers, like this season.
Speaker 3: Like it's in the range again. The Dolphins have one
Speaker 3: good cornerback and his name is Jayleen Ramsey. All the
Speaker 3: other cornerbacks are hurt so and he can't cover both
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson and DeVante Is at the same time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's just like Drew Locke is starting again.
Speaker 1: It's not going to get fifteen targets with Drew Locke.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have big separators. They don't. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just I want to go Malik here, but I can't.
Speaker 1: I think you can this week, go Jacoby long term,
Speaker 1: I don't know, come back for next week, Like could
Speaker 1: you start Myers over neighbors next week. Sure, I don't
Speaker 1: even know if the line the matchup is right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I don't think you need to be
Speaker 3: like so defiant against your guy again. This is your team, right,
Speaker 3: like you don't want any of these guys to do
Speaker 3: bad like like like don't like again.
Speaker 2: This is why the whole.
Speaker 3: Like dynamic of start sits becomes so it's almost kind
Speaker 3: of like toxic, where like you hate the players on
Speaker 3: your bed totally and like you want them to fail
Speaker 3: at all.
Speaker 1: I want my players to fall. I lot last week, dude,
Speaker 1: I looked again. I know I'd say it a lot,
Speaker 1: but like my big I mean, FFPC is a lot.
Speaker 1: These are high stakes, lee high whatever air quotes. But
Speaker 1: like I lost by four points in one of them.
Speaker 1: The other one championship lost by four points. I looked
Speaker 1: at my bench and I was ready to start making
Speaker 1: voodoo dolls and putting pens in them. Both I had
Speaker 1: two other defenses. They both scored higher than mine. I
Speaker 1: think I had the quarterback I had scored higher. All
Speaker 1: of those would have been a defining factor and would
Speaker 1: have had me whin. I wanted them all to fail.
Speaker 1: So yes, to your point, I am I am what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. I am toxic. I'm looking at all
Speaker 1: my players and I'm like fail, stop it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's It's why best ball is a great thing
Speaker 3: because you can choose that's a good point all your
Speaker 3: team all the time because you just and you win
Speaker 3: when your guys as a has a good game. So
Speaker 3: that's always something to balance things out and think about
Speaker 3: joining best ball leagues during the offseason. Yeah, but I mean, yeah, Meyers,
Speaker 3: this week he has the best matchup out of all
Speaker 3: He's facing the Buccaneers.
Speaker 2: You think it's the Falcons.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, look, I I didn't mean to come
Speaker 3: off as saying no, like, don't just start Myers because
Speaker 3: he'd beat He was better than those guys this one week.
Speaker 3: But when I look at the rest of the schedule
Speaker 3: for Myers, I don't see a spot where I want
Speaker 3: to bench him. He's got Bucks, Falcons, Jags, Saints. So
Speaker 3: I mean, after look at the schedule, like, yeah, Meyers,
Speaker 3: rest of the way, I.
Speaker 1: Will say though, like I will reiterate, also do what
Speaker 1: you know, like we will give you our advice, but
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, make you're
Speaker 1: making your final decision. Like if you're not comfortable with something,
Speaker 1: then make the move. You gotta be able to sleep
Speaker 1: at night. I have that sometimes, so I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can't I couldn't fathom if this guy beat me.
Speaker 1: Let's get the last two. Did we have s Fan?
Speaker 1: We didn't have s Fan on. Let's we're not lightning around.
Speaker 1: We're not doing very good at Lightning Round, but that's okay.
Speaker 2: We if you're new to the show, we suck at Lightning.
Speaker 1: Round, yeah we do. We're not very good at it,
Speaker 1: but we like to talk. We like to do all this.
Speaker 1: So s Fan, unmute your mic and what do you got?
Speaker 12: So I didn't get hit too hard by by mcgeddon,
Speaker 12: but I did have Hunter Henry, So I'm gonna have
Speaker 12: to start Kincaid this week. Would you rather go to
Speaker 12: Waivers and pick up a g I like Jake Ferguson
Speaker 12: or Tucker Craft, Juan Johnson's there, or just stick with Kinkaid.
Speaker 1: I would rather all of them, But yeah, craft Craft
Speaker 1: because he did really well in that game. He won
Speaker 1: all the five touchdowns. I love three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Jordan love Man, just what an absolute
Speaker 3: I can't believe the Packers, man, how do they come
Speaker 3: away with that big.
Speaker 2: Did they win? Well, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't remember that covered. I never covered the total.
Speaker 3: I know the totals got smashed.
Speaker 1: I know the overhead the over smashed. That's the only
Speaker 1: one that I care about.
Speaker 4: Her.
Speaker 1: No, So that's exactly right.
Speaker 2: Sure, what uh?
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 2: Oh man? It's so weird.
Speaker 8: Brost all the times first time and called up here
Speaker 8: and talked to you.
Speaker 1: I'm good, glad you did what you got.
Speaker 5: Hey.
Speaker 8: So I'm still I'm like, I'm still in the standard league.
Speaker 8: I know, I know, but Doc Commissioner, he didn't want
Speaker 8: to change. So and it's a good league. We do
Speaker 8: a lot of a lot of rousing on one another.
Speaker 8: So and it's it's very active for this week. I'm
Speaker 8: trying to find out what's up with I have Jared
Speaker 8: Golf and Will Levis and I'm I'm really going through
Speaker 8: it whether I want to try and let Jared Goff
Speaker 8: go tonight or just go ahead and let Will Lewis
Speaker 8: go with Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Well, Jared Goff also went off on that uh that
Speaker 1: total from yesterday because it went way over, so we
Speaker 1: had to go Golf right Erickson.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's correct.
Speaker 1: We had to do it. He had to do it.
Speaker 1: So it was it was a really good decision that
Speaker 1: we said, all right, Dredas tried to leave. Dredas came
Speaker 1: out the last second and then tried to leave, and
Speaker 1: I was like, Dredas, come back, what's up.
Speaker 16: I didn't realize the time. I'm sorry, it's okay, it's
Speaker 16: okay to real quick quick Grindo or Pollard.
Speaker 1: Correct Grinda for me?
Speaker 2: Eric, Yeah, sorry, I'm starting, Paul. He's playing the jacks.
Speaker 2: They suck. I had like one carry. He's like, they
Speaker 2: don't use him. I'm using. I know you hate Tony
Speaker 2: Pollard Walsh, but I.
Speaker 1: Do hate Tony. But let me look at my rank before.
Speaker 3: Taking I'm not taking the projection and over the guy
Speaker 3: that he's locked in low too three down work but
Speaker 3: also has a great matchup like I'm.
Speaker 1: Not Yeah, I have Pollard two spots under grind I mean,
Speaker 1: listen to ericson there, he's smarter than me. Anyways, it
Speaker 1: was the other question, Oh.
Speaker 16: My god, I totally liked never mind. Oh are yeah
Speaker 16: John new Smith or najok you you.
Speaker 1: Answered ericson the other smart guy? Aileen? Aileen John who
Speaker 1: but in joke had like seventy four targets last week seventeen.
Speaker 1: That is a good saying. I think more targets this
Speaker 1: week than I think Pitts had all season catches.
Speaker 2: Dude, you might be yeah, it's tough.
Speaker 1: I haven't ranked back to back. Oh yeah, let me
Speaker 1: see where I have it ranked a lean John who,
Speaker 1: but I haven't. I have John o'higher. I have John
Speaker 1: WoT four, so John.
Speaker 3: John, I have John five. I think the sample size
Speaker 3: with John who has been longer. And again, is it
Speaker 3: Yo going to catch two touchdowns again?
Speaker 2: I mean no, great.
Speaker 3: I know, like has set the like that's the new trends,
Speaker 3: like catch two touchdowns every single week after like this
Speaker 3: lashing tight end.
Speaker 2: But Joko didn't do.
Speaker 3: A lot against the Steelers the first time they played,
Speaker 3: Like the weather play a role. But I don't love
Speaker 3: him as he did also drop a touchdown, so he
Speaker 3: would he should obviously have three. I mean John New's
Speaker 3: roles has been so good, like he's been the number
Speaker 3: one receiver for the Dolphins and they're playing the Jets,
Speaker 3: so he's not going to get any of the top
Speaker 3: tier coverage. I think it's a good problem to have,
Speaker 3: but it doesn't really full. It was again, I feel
Speaker 3: much better too if it's full PPR.
Speaker 1: For j Yeah, that's that's what Dreda said, it's full people.
Speaker 3: Okay, So yeah, John, and I think I'd get the
Speaker 3: especially with because Djoku I think probably has maybe better
Speaker 3: touchdown odds. But John, who has just been so locked
Speaker 3: up massive value, and I think and if Tilman and
Speaker 3: I know Tilman, I think had a DNP So I
Speaker 3: don't even know if he's going to come back, but
Speaker 3: if he comes back that that doesn't matter a little
Speaker 3: bit for the total targets. So he'll only see ten
Speaker 3: instead of seventeen.
