14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: joined us once once a couple of times a week. Really,

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: we do our show for NFL dot Com, NFL Network.

16
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: He's gonna be joining us in a couple of seconds.

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: But first let's let's get to Carson Palmer here, Elliot,

18
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: because you know, people see Carson Palmer and I think

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: they fall in love with the idea of Carson Palmer, right,

20
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, because talking about starting and we talked about

21
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: this last hour you and Fab talked about starting. I

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: want to wait because cars and Palmer still just like

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: just like putting that Raider jersey on and suddenly going

24
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: to become a star again. His his best fantasy days

25
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: are behind him. I think we see Carslon polar But

26
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: remember this is a guy who was great No. Five

27
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: and then now he's more a guy that has the

28
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: strong arm. He's capable of a big game now and then.

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: But really he's a great two minute quarterback. That's really

30
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: what what he's become the last couple of years. I'm

31
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: not that sold on Carson Palmer, and I understand that.

32
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: And you know, everyone always points back to the knee

33
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: injury had against the Steelers in the wild card game,

34
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: uh in O five and said he wasn't the same,

35
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: but that's actually not true. And Oh six, he had

36
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: another monster season, then he had an elbow problem, and

37
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: ever since that elbow problem, he just never seemed like

38
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: the same quarterback. In the last couple of years in Cincinnati,

39
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: they had trouble getting the ball down the field. Now,

40
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: whether that was the play calling, whether that was the

41
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: receivers they had, especially in O nine, the year they

42
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: made the playoffs, they I think they completed eleven balls

43
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: the whole year of over twenty five yards. That's a concern,

44
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: and the Raiders lack of weapons are concerned. Yes, Darius

45
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Heyward Bay has been a nine sleeper and Peple have

46
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: been surprised. But at the end of the day, Darius

47
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: sat word Bay is not a top fifteen fantasy received

48
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: at leased, not in my book. I understand you're concerned

49
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: about Carson Palmer's the point, Yeah, too much, too much

50
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: cornhole Carson Palmer think that, oh book, you only have

51
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: so many underhand tosses before. But for more on Carson Palmer, Steve,

52
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: Why should you have to join us right now? Steve?

53
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: We heard earlier today that the Raiders planned to start

54
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer on Sunday. What do you see from in

55
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: his first game against the Chiefs? This give be very interesting.

56
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't played a game since January. Second, no,

57
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessarily serily the looks of things,

58
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: he can break down on a film that could be problematic,

59
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been hick. But they're not going to

60
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: hit him in practice. How is he going to respond

61
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: the first time? You know, he takes a couple of

62
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: shots because it'll happen. I think if he gets through

63
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: that part, he'll he'll be okay. They're not gonna do

64
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: anything too diverse from him. They're gonna hand it off

65
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: to Derren McFadden. Talk to Darren McFadden and didn't do

66
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: some play action passing off of that. So I think

67
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: he'll be okay. But you just have the kind of

68
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: wonder I'm and your your first game back after nine months,

69
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: there's no preseason. He's coming back right in the middle

70
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: of aut of a season when the Raiders now have

71
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: expectations after the four and to start. How is he's

72
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: going to be able to compartmentalize everything that goes with that?

73
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: All right, Steve, Now we've seen Darius Hayward Bay the

74
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks become the guy they draft him

75
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: to be a couple of years ago. Jacoby Ford his back,

76
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: He's a deep threat. Scored on a kickoff return. Lewis

77
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: Murphy is coming back, Kevin Boss the tight end. Who

78
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: do you think, judging by how you've seen Carson Palmer's career,

79
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: who's he gonna look to, at least initially in this

80
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: offense to be guys that are going to be a

81
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: security blankets. Yeah. I think Darius Hayward Bay and part

82
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: of that. And I was speaking to Darius Hayward Bay

83
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: after the Raiders win at Houston, and he said before

84
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: the first couple of years that he was there, especially

85
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: in Jamacus Russell, and then when they were transitioning, they

86
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: were using so many max protections that they do a

87
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: lot of two receiver routes, so it was it was

88
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: easy for defense is just to zone them up and

89
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: have high, low over under bracket coverage as well. Now,

90
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: he says, because the offensive line is better, he's getting

91
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: open a lot more because they're doing a lot of

92
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: three and four receiver routes and they're hitting open down field.

93
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: And the one thing that they will have Carson Palmer

94
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: to just throw it up there. He almost in pop

95
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: fly like form because Hayward Bays got the speed to

96
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: chase it down. So I think you're gonna see Hayward

97
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Bay be a deep target. I don't think they're gonna

98
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: make Palmer with a lot of out routes or timing

99
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: routes or things like that, but I think I do

100
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: think they will have to throw the deep ball. Well, Steve,

101
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm really glad that you came on, and I gotta

102
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: tell you. I just want you to know that I'm

103
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: not wearing that really bad earth tone suit with the saddle.

104
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Why do you always why is it always a wardrobe

105
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: alay times, some type of wardrobe. I just conversated, man,

106
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: I just I Sometimes I stand next to you, You're

107
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: always so well put together, and I always just feel inferior.

108
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: So I wanted to bring that up. But I also

109
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you how you think Brandon Lloyd's gonna

110
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: look in his new wardrobe, his new digs in St. Louis.

111
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: I loved the acquisition for the Rams. How do you

112
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: feel about it? What's about time they got somebody there

113
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: who gives Sam Bradford, you know, an option. You know,

114
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: he hasn't really had a receiver there that can help

115
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: him out. Now they've got a guy who can go deep,

116
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: who can run all the route, tree, short, intermediate. So

117
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: if he can get his timing together, Sam Bradford's gonna

118
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,559
Speaker 1: play to the ankle injury. So he's gonna be throwing

119
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: a lot of passes with his arm and not necessarily

120
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: stepping into it. So I think they again, they're gonna

121
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: go deep routes because if they've gotta do timing routes

122
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: and things like that, Bradford and I might not be

123
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: able to put the spin on it like normal and

124
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: could be prone to make some turnovers. But a random

125
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: the way, he's gonna be fine because of Josh McDaniels.

126
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: She's going back to McDaniels where he flourished in Denver.

127
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: He knows the scheme, it won't take him too too

128
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: long to pick things up. And Sam Brad was gonna

129
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: look around and say, oh my gosh, these other guys

130
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: who've been dropping passes and doing nothing for me. Now

131
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: I've got another another chance of another potential playmaker here.

132
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to him because I don't really trust these

133
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: other guys too much. You reference Bradford stepping into the

134
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: throws and having trouble to trouble doing that with his injury.

135
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: I want to take a step back here and go

136
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: back to Palmer for a second. It seemed like everyone

137
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: and I just mentioned this before we had you on

138
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: that everyone always referenced knee injury that he had again

139
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: the wild card game against Pittsburgh as affecting his play,

140
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: but the next year he came back and had a

141
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: monster season in two thousand six. I always felt like

142
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: the elbow injury wasn't talked about enough. Have you seen

143
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: anything the last couple of years in Palmer's the way

144
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: he plays to make you think that he's just not

145
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: the same guy physically that he was in oh five

146
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: oh six. Yeah, you know, for this is a two

147
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: parter because I don't think he was able to get

148
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: the ball downfield like he was if I remember covering

149
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: games when they had a trio of Ojo sink back

150
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: when he was Chad Johnson's, Chris Henry and t J.

151
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: Husman Dad, and I mean that was a vertical assault.

152
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: They went deep, especially to Chris Henry. But you know,

153
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, especially at the elbow, he

154
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: hasn't really hit it. Now. Part of it was because

155
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: Teo and then Chad Ojo Sinko, they were running the routes.

156
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: Probably I've talked to enough people that organization said that

157
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: the JEP it could be a seven yard route they'd

158
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: run at nine, would be a five yard route they'd

159
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: run into at seven. So there was communication issues there. Now,

160
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: one thing I think that should be promising is that

161
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: when those guys were gone at the end of the season,

162
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: They're playing Jerome Simpson and you know, aggression was there.

163
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: They looked good. I mean, Palmer threw the ball well

164
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: to those guys. Those guys were faster, uh, a little

165
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: bit more at depth than Teo and Ojo Sinko. So

166
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: I think with the right guys in there, maybe with

167
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: the mental thing with him, he could be Okay. Yeah,

168
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: they played the Chargers. I remember late last year pretty

169
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: much knocked the Chargers out of the playoff race without

170
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: Ojo Sinko, without trel Owens, and Palmer had maybe his

171
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: best performance of the season. One last thing on on Palmer.

172
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: You know you reference how vertical they were back in

173
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: those his salad days so to speak. You know, huge

174
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: and with receivers coach there. Do you think that plays

175
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: anything going forward and fantasy owners play Palmer was confidence? Oh,

176
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: I think I think it plays into a lot. I mean,

177
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: we heard Hugh Jacksons at the news conference. I know

178
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: a guy who can do what I want to do,

179
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: and that's Carson Palmer. I mean, a better, a better playoff.

180
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: They gave up potentially two first round draft picks, for him,

181
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: but this doesn't work out and you're looking to hold

182
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: jam Marcus Russell scenario again in terms of the of

183
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: the Raiders bankrupting their draft for a quarterback that might

184
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: not work out. But absolutely Hugh Jackson knows how to

185
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: communicate with Carson Palmer. He knows how the Carson Palmer

186
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: knows that he will have the receivers on the same

187
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: page as him. So I think that kind of two door,

188
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: a two way door trust that's going on between coach

189
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: and quarterback to be very important as this goes along. Again.

190
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 1: I don't expect Carson Palmer is necessarily come out like Gangbusters,

191
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: but three or four weeks now, when this playoff race

192
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: really starts to take shape, I think that relationship will

193
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: really be a factor. It's NFL Fantasy Live on Serius

194
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: two ten x M eight seven from the NFL Network,

195
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,239
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com Jason Smith alongside Elliot Harrison and Michael Fabiano,

196
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: joined by NFL dot Com senior writer Steve Wis and

197
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Steve we actually we we got a bolt in here.

198
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: Our bosses came in and said we've actually gone five

199
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: minutes and not mentioned Tim Tebow's name. So the obligatory

200
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow conversation has to take place. Now we're gonna

201
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: get doct in our pay. But you know, here's a

202
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: guy who's got a great matchup this week against the

203
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, and there's been a lot of attention about Tebow.

204
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: What kind of week do you see for Tebow here

205
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: in Miami? You know, this would be interesting because also

206
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: to Marius Baby Thomas to why receiver is coming back,

207
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, and he's a big target who is very motivated.

208
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if if Tebow is gonna come out

209
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: and put up the monster point, but if Devin's gonna

210
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: get a scoring position, I think he gets them into

211
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: the end zone because he does possess that run past threat.

212
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: And now he's got a very big, you know, like

213
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: a six four, two twenty pounds red zone threat into

214
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas, who we can do. So he's gonna have

215
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: options down there. So we're talking fantasy football because he's

216
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: playing a bad team and that's just pretty much gonna

217
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: be a Denver Broncos home game. Remember this is the

218
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: University of Florida homecoming game down there in Miami, so

219
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: there could be a lot of Florida Tebow and Broncos

220
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: fans there. He's got the potential to have a pretty

221
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: decent game if he can get Denver into that red tone,

222
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: you know, Steve. With it being the bye weeks, a

223
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy owners out there are having to play

224
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: guys they normally wouldn't play in their flex spot and

225
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: at their their second running back slot. And obviously we

226
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: saw Ronnie Brown get traded. Michael Fabiano and I were

227
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: talking earlier that we don't see a lot of value

228
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: from Ronnie Brown right now? Are we seeing this wrong? No? No,

229
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean Detroit. You mean clearly they're having problems running

230
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: the ball anyway they needed to help. You see, job

231
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: at best has a concussion. He shout out practice today,

232
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: so they're checking him out. But a Lonnie Brown might

233
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: be able to come in and you know, play five

234
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: to ten plays, maybe catch the swing passes and do

235
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: some things. But he's not the guy that you're gonna

236
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: look for the Lions. Uh for the Lions to go

237
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: to this week and get to Atlanta if you're if

238
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: you're looking for someone, I think it's gonna be a

239
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: really safe place. I think Brandon pettigrew the tight end.

240
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: I mean, the tight ends have given the Falcon some problems.

241
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: There's the matchup issues. Plus Megaton is gonna be going

242
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: up against about a five seven five corner and Brent Grime.

243
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: Those are gonna be the players who are gonna be

244
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: getting the ball for the Lions this week. Well, thank

245
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: goodness on five nine because five eight is really short.

246
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: But you know, Steve over there does have Bret Brian

247
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: does have a nice tan stute Elliott it he does

248
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: that he can borrow yours and he can like jump

249
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: over my head. That guy's leaping ability is that specially

250
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: lathlete right there? Ridiculous. But you know, over the summer

251
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: when we were doing a lot of videos, I always

252
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: like to just throw a random name at you. And

253
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw a random name at and I want

254
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: you to give us a crystal ball. Does this guy

255
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: have a lot of value in the long term? Back

256
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: after the schedule DeMarco Murray and Dallas, what do you think? No?

257
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: Not really. I mean I think he's someone who carries

258
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: will will be increased, but they they're still trying to

259
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: figure out what to do with him. And at this

260
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: point of the season, if you're a rookie running back

261
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: and you're really a good player. They figured it out.

262
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean you you you know what you want, So

263
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, I still think you know it's Shard Choice

264
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: and Felix Jones. You know, Felix Jones is nicked up.

265
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: You know, DeMarco Murray's is touch to may may increase,

266
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: but I just don't know how productive he necessarily can

267
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: be unless they can get him involved in the passing game.

268
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: And that's one thing I haven't seen out of the

269
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: Cowboys enough this year, is throwing the ball to their

270
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: running backs. And Felix Jones to Shard Choice and DeMarco

271
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: Murray are all good receivers, but they continue to go

272
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: more downfield or to do things with their tight ends

273
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: instead of using those players as options. So I think

274
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: Jason hear it if he's a little scared about Tony

275
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: Romo going the ball up the field, play faith, give

276
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: it to those guys in space, even if it's in

277
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: the backfield, and then maybe someone like DeMarco Mulley could

278
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: have some impact. But as of right now, I don't.

279
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: I don't see him having any any huge, sizeable game

280
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: right Well, you referenced the players in the passing game

281
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: last year when they got the big win in New York,

282
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: they had a ninety yards screen pass to to Felix

283
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Jones and that that used to be a big part

284
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: of their offense. But Steve, you know, Cowboy fans must

285
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: have been shocked when they saw that Felix Jones was

286
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: nicked up. Yeah, I'm sure it was a huge surprise.

287
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's never happened before. He's an iron man,

288
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: you know, Hey, Steve, let's get your quarterback take on here.

289
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: Two big change in the last twenty four hours and

290
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan announced that they're going to John Beck. I

291
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna be a big switcher. And suddenly

292
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: Rex Grossman will be under center on Sunday. So you

293
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: get John Beck in Washington and you get the Minnesota

294
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: Vikings turning to Christian Ponder instead of Donovan McNabb in Minnesota.

295
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: Which move do you think is going to be a

296
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: better move for that team's offense? Why? I mean, I've

297
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: got to say John Beck and Washington just because there

298
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: wasn't the rexy Roseman did that heart that offensively turned

299
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: the ball over. So we don't know if Beck is

300
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: hasn't a prized more value on the ball. Well, we'll

301
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: see what I think. The fact that he can run

302
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: with it a little bit more. It diversifies things with

303
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: their offense. You know the thing with Christian Ponder and

304
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: it's it's something that hasn't hurt Donovan McNabb is. The

305
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: Vikings just don't have the weapons to really help out

306
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback. You know that. You know Hi Sanko, he

307
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: doesn't look like how he used to look. Their wide

308
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: receivers of the Percy Harvin are just really ordinary Protestian

309
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: type players. And even though you can say that about

310
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: the Redskins, they've got Fred Davis who's an emerging tight

311
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: end who's really a good player. They've got D'antana Moss

312
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: who can still hit it down field a little bit.

313
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: So you know that, to me, the Redskins receiving corps

314
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: can protect Beck a little bit better than what Ponder

315
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: is going to have to deal with. And what a

316
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: way for him to a debut against the Green Bay Packers,

317
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: because that Packers defense looks like it's finally starting to

318
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: figure and thinks out as well. NFL dot Com senior

319
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: writer Steve Why see him on NFL Fantasy Live with

320
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: us on Sundays and Tuesdays. Steve, thanks a lot to

321
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: be well. We enjoy the games this weekend. Now, Elliott,

322
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: here's here's the reason I'm nervous about John Beck. And

323
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: we always talk about reality meeting fantasy. John Beck must

324
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: have been awful to lose this job to Rex Grossman

325
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: in the preseason. It was his job, and he had

326
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: a couple of nice games. But to lose, I mean,

327
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: this wasn't like, boy, it's close, and I'm gonna go

328
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: with Rex Grossman. Beck obviously is a guy can give

329
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: you more of a future. Because we know Rex Grossman

330
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: his best days were in two thousand and five. He

331
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: must have been awful. And this is a desperation move

332
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: because Rex Grossman can't stop throwing the football the other team.

333
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that suddenly John Beck's gonna come in

334
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: and say, boy, this guy's great. Now he's getting his

335
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: chance because of how he lost the job early on.

336
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Well and and you know, to see his point, you

337
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: you kind of put his feet to the fire, which

338
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: which guy he liked better. If you're in a really

339
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: deep leaf, you're in a twelve or four teen team league,

340
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: and you're absolutely desperate, maybe you roll the dice with Back,

341
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: you know, give it a shot. I mean, hopefully it

342
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: doesn't come to that, but I have to agree with Steve.

343
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean, as long as Grossman's turning turning the ball over,

344
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: then then you have to, you know, you have to

345
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: make a change there. And I I could see where

346
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: he likes Back better than Ponder. We gotta get cam

347
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: Cameron on the show and see how much he still

348
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: likes Jen. It's NFL Fantasy Live here on series two

361
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: over to Michael Fabiano. Right now the number one rated

362
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: start sit percentage as far as experts go across the country.

363
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: Last hour gave us some big starts at quarterbacks and

364
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: big starts at running back. Now get some big starts

365
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. And you know, fabs one thing. Pierre Garson.

366
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: We just heard the highlight right there. It's but it

367
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: boggles my mind when I go to NFL dot com

368
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: and see that he has started in less than fifty

369
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: percent of leagues. Yeah, that's just crazy. And the guy

370
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: right now is in the top ten and fantasy points

371
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: among wide receivers on NFL dot Com. Three big games

372
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: in a row, four touchdowns total, and you've got to

373
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: play him. You've got to play this guy if he's

374
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: your two or if he's your three. A lot of

375
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: people dropped him after the first couple of weeks because

376
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: he was invisible. I mean, here he had done Houdini

377
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 1: act with Carry Collins there, but who knew that Curtis

378
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: Painter would be the savior for Pierre Garson's value? But

379
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: I like him against the Saints In that same game,

380
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: Marcus Colston finally comes back puts up a nice stat line.

381
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: The Coults have been terrible against the past. They've been

382
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: terrible against the run. They've basically been terrible defensively. Great

383
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: matchup there, Desi Bryant against the Rams. Bryant had seventy

384
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: plus yards last week, didn't score a touchdown, but I

385
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: expect him to have a better game against the Rams.

386
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: Eric Decker now the number one wide receiver with the

387
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Great matchup against the Dolphins. They've given up

388
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: an average of more than twenty five fantasy points per

389
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: game to wide receivers, and Decker I think is going

390
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: to continue to see targets, especially now with Lloyd and St.

391
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: Louis Darius Heyward Bay has got a great match up.

392
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: Utilized him as a three and Greg Little Who's the

393
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: guy I talked about in the preseason. Wait watch see

394
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: what happens in Cleveland. Finally he's given an opportunity to start.

395
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: Sees twelve targets last week, has a very solid game,

396
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: six catches over seventy yards. I like him against the

397
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks as a three or a flex this week. You know,

398
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: I have multiple things to say to that number one.

399
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: He's talking to Eric Decker. He promised me Brooklyn Decker.

400
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: Uh no, I didn't promise you. I said I would

401
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: see if I can talk to her agent. And we're

402
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: trying to get Brooken Decker on the show. I actually

403
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: met Brooklyn during the preseason. She came in to tape

404
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: some stuff for the Carolina Panthers. She has every bit

405
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: as beautiful in person, I'll tell you that, but she

406
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: plays fantasy football. I am going to try to get

407
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: her husband, Andy roddickon at some point. I'm still working

408
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: on Adam Richmond h Adams. Adams a tough, tough guy

409
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: to get in touch with. He's traveling all over the place,

410
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: eating all kinds of strange and large amounts of food. Um,

411
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: but we'll get him at some point. But um yeah,

412
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't deliver Brooklyn. So I gave you an Eric.

413
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: Well that's that's you know, that's one of three. The

414
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: second thing I had for you was Black and Decker.

415
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: Where there's another Decker. You know. I listen, I work

416
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: with Fabs every day. I mean we're like we're constantly

417
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: around each other, and so I hear his Fantasy Advice,

418
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: and it does not surprise me that he's right number one.

419
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: But I'm curious that these rankings are done. I mean,

420
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: how do we know there's not some dude with a

421
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: long beard at a holistic, you know, healing house somewhere

422
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: in the mountains that is a little bit more. Maybe

423
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: he's better. I think the way that they do it

424
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: is it's on a site called Fantasy pros dot com,

425
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: and what they do is they determine the toughest matchups

426
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: player versus player every single week. So maybe this week

427
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: gets who do you start Jackie Battle or DeMarco Murray

428
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: and they go into every expert's rankings and see who

429
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: ended up getting that play right. So that's how it's

430
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: determined by who they consider the toughest starts are weekend

431
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: and week out, and then they look at which experts

432
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: have the correct rankings at the end of the day

433
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: once the games have been have been concluded. So it's

434
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: not like a guy can say, don't start Mark Brunell

435
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: and you know, get that right? I hope not right exactly.

436
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: And you know what, like I said, I mean, there's

437
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: a lot of great guys on on this channel, a

438
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: lot of great experts and I'm friends without here. John

439
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: Hansen's fantastic, Uh, Greg Rossen, There's there's a lot of

440
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: guys Scotty Angle, Uh, great guys out there that do

441
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: a heck of a job and a lot of guys

442
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: who have actually taught me because they were in the

443
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: business before I was. So um, it's you know what,

444
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: it's it's a matter of the matchups, and you've always

445
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: got to play the matchups, especially during the bye weeks

446
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: when you're looking at guys like Greg Little and Darius

447
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: Heyward Bay playing prominent roles on your fantasy team. Well,

448
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: I want to mention one of your guys, Das Bryant

449
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: versus the Rams. You know, you talk about the numbers

450
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: that he could get. I think you said seventy yards.

451
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: It's amazing his fantasy production when you consider that he

452
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: only does that in like a quarter and a half

453
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: because he disappears for the rest of the It's it's

454
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: one half of production for Dez Bryant. It's unreal. And

455
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: let's hope from a fantasy perspective, in from a Cowboys

456
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: fan perspective, e h that they can turn things around

457
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: and score some points this week. Against the Rams. I

458
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: think they will. Romo Miles Austin's in my top five

459
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: at wide receiver this week. Uh, there's gonna be some

460
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: points put on the board there for the Popes. Six

461
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: three to six, eight to the numbers. XM Fantasy. It's

Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live on Series two ten, XM eight seven.

463
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano, Elliot Harrison from the NFL Network

464
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: and NFL dot Com. Mike and Minnesota. What's your question? Yeah,

465
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: I've got a trade evaluation for you that being offered

466
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: to me. I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Uh. They

467
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: are wanting A J. Green and the Chargers defense for

468
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: Fantana mocks even Ridley and the Cowboys e men. And

469
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: the caveat to it is that we get plus three

470
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: points for a defensive team win and negative three for

471
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: a lot. Oh, I don't do that deal. You're giving

472
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: up A J. Green and the Chargers defense. Oh I would,

473
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't, I would, I would. I would pass on

474
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: that to the Chargers defense. Actually isn't really good in

475
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: fantasy this year, Uh, sort of mediocre. But AJ Green's

476
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: a nut. I mean that guy has been fantastic in

477
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: his rookie season, and the Cowboys defense hasn't been good either,

478
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: although I like them this week against the Rams. Overall,

479
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 1: the Boys have not been a real good fantasy defense.

480
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: What's interesting about A J. Green I mean he's in

481
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: line to break all of Chris Collins words rookie numbers

482
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: or rookie records for the Bengals, And hey, this guy's

483
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: a limit for this guy. You know, rookie wide receivers

484
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: generally have the toughest transition the NFL next to quarterbacks.

485
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: I know Troy Aigman has always said that he thinks

486
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: wide receiver is is maybe the toughest position to break

487
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: from college break into the NFL from college. And A J.

488
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,239
Speaker 1: Green Man maybe we don't talk about him enough. I mean,

489
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: he has hit the ground running and I would really

490
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: hesitate to trade him period, especially since he came in. Look,

491
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: we we talked a lot about Julio Jones, got a

492
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: lot of attention. Obviously he's banged up a little bit,

493
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: but he's coming in Things a little bit easier When

494
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: the guy on the other side, oh, by the way,

495
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: is Roddy White. When you come in the other guy

496
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: is Jerome Simpson. If things are a little bit harder

497
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: and he's able to take that. Not only that he's

498
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: getting all the targets from Andy Dalton. That's a big beneficiary.

499
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: Here's a new quarterback. He's looking for his new guy.

500
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: That's gonna be his number one guy. Very surprised A J. Green.

501
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: If you drafted AJ Green, that's one of the top.

502
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: If you want to say what the best five fantasy

503
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: picks overall this year have been. You talk about value

504
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: what you're getting later on taking a chance on A J.

505
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: Green is in that top five definitely. Uh And he

506
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: was actually ranked in the top thirty five on NFL

507
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: dot Com in the preseason. The one thing that I

508
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: was worried about was the rookie quarterback in Andy Dalton

509
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: throwing in the football because A J. Green has it,

510
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: He has the tools. He is an unbelievably athletic kid

511
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: who just makes plays. When he was coming out of Georgia.

512
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: Loved him. Uh. Love the fact that he went to

513
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Love the fact that the Bengals got rid

514
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: of Chato Jasenko, didn't come back with Eo who's still

515
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: recovering from an a c L. He has been given

516
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: a chance and opportunity is the biggest, one of the

517
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: biggest factors when we're talking about players that aren't the

518
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: elite guys that you know you're gonna be playing weekend

519
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: in a week out. A J. Green had a chance

520
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: to become very prominent in the Bengals offense and he

521
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: has run with it, and guys, he's at this point,

522
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: he's a must start as a two. NFL Fantasy Live

523
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: on Series two ten XM eight seven. We mentioned Roddy

524
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: White a couple of seconds ago. Adam at Pittsburgh has

525
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: a trade question that involves the former Falcons number one

526
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: wide receiver, Adam What you got? I have? Um my

527
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: first album two and for scoring over a hundred points?

528
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: Uh non ppringus points over a hundred um doing well

529
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: is losing every Monday night. It's driving me crazy. So

530
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: um I Fred Jackson and Hayward Bay and someone's offering

531
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: me Roddy White Menden Hall and if you could keep

532
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: me on, that'd be great. I don't like it hard.

533
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: I mean I alway, you know you always look and

534
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: say who is getting the best player in the deal,

535
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: And unless the players going back are close to it,

536
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: I can't give what other wider shoes do you have

537
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: besides Hey Bay, Gerald is really it? And Reddy Wayne?

538
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: And then the other problem is is this week I've

539
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: Felix Jones is hurt, and I have vict and fred

540
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: Jackson on five, and I don't want to go to

541
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: him five, right, you know, I mean Roddy White? Is

542
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: it going to continue to struggle like this? I mean,

543
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: men in Hall is coming off a good game. Really,

544
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: it's really sort of a two for one because Hayward

545
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: Bay is good, but he's he's clearly not as good

546
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: as as someone like Roddy White. Right, I think I

547
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: think I might do that deal. I think I might

548
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: see that to the most fantasy points. I understand that.

549
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: I under I understand that. But you're also getting double

550
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: production men in Hall who look good last week, great

551
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: matchup against the Cardinals. Roddy White, we expect him to

552
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: turn things around at some point here in the season.

553
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: Heyward Bay, I like the deal, and Freddy Jackson's been great,

554
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. Can he keep up this pace

555
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: all year? I I don't know if he can. My

556
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: concern for a contract guys do crazy things looking for

557
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: a contract. And listen, I we already talked about the

558
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: Steelers schedule. It's favorable, But at the same time, Schard Mentenhall,

559
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: for as good as he is, has been a little

560
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: bit of an up and down player. And my second

561
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: concern is that I think the Falcons recipe for success

562
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: and I think they realize this playing Carolina is to

563
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: go back to running the football. Michael Turner got twenty

564
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: seven carries, so I'm not I'm not sure that Roddy

565
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: White goes back to being a hundred and fifteen catch guy.

566
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: I Fred Jackson has proven something to me. He's done

567
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: it week after week. We've already talked about Heyward Bay

568
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: with the upside, and now they bring Carson Palmer in

569
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: the mix. I would have to meet personally, wouldnix the deal.

570
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: All right, let me throw this at you right now.

571
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: You guys have no idea what I'm gonna say. Who

572
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: are you going to count on more to turn it

573
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: around and become who they used to be the rest

574
00:26:54,840 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: of the season. Roddy White or Chris Johnson. Wow? Uh,

575
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: I think Roddy White because Chris Johnson has really been

576
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: a concern, and I think the Titans are realizing that

577
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: having Hasslebeck spread the ball around is working for them.

578
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: I have at this point, I have more trust in

579
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: Roddy White. I agree, I totally agree. Uh. Maybe it's

580
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: the offensive line in Tennessee that's not helping the fact

581
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: that uh c J didn't have any training camp for

582
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: preseason because the holdout. But I think unless Roddy White's injured,

583
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: and I know he's been on the injury part with

584
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: the knee, but he continues to play, I think it

585
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: will be Roddy White. Uh. I mean that offense has

586
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: got a lot of firepower, and I don't know if

587
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: they can really lean on Michael Turner a ton because

588
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of carries on that body over

589
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: the last few years. I still think at some point

590
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: they've gotta they've got to throw the ball a little

591
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: bit more than they have been. And remember last week,

592
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: no Julio Jones out there, and it was it was

593
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: the game plan because of the opponent. The opponent was

594
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: bad against the run. So again, I would do this

595
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: deal because and I have Fred Jackson on two of

596
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: my teams and he's been fantastic, But I don't think

597
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: there is any guarantee that he's going to continue this

598
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: all year. Hopefully he does. For my sake and for

599
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: the sake of fantasy owners. If you were talking about

600
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy, I would probably wouldn't do the deal. If

601
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: it was a McFadden, I probably wouldn't do the deal

602
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: because I have more faith that they're going to continue

603
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 1: to put up big numbers weekend in week out than

604
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: Jackson Um. That's my take on it. And men in Hall,

605
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: he's he's a two. He's a high end two. I think.

Speaker 1: receivers to start, a lot of holes people are filling

626
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: this week with bye weeks, But now could he give

627
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: you a couple of quarterbacks to sit? And Matt job

628
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: is one of those guys, And we'll start things off

629
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: with Michael Fabiano, the number one ranked start sit accuracy

630
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: as far as experts go across the country. You've been

631
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: aces on it all year long, FABS. You don't like

632
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: match shob this week he's one of your guys to sit,

633
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: and he was one of my guys sit last week

634
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: to just the absence of Andre Johnson really hurts. And

635
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: the matchup to speak against the Texans on the road.

636
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: They've allowed an average of under fourteen fantasy points two

637
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks per games, So I think shop could struggle. You know,

638
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: the Falcons and the Lions could be a shootout, It

639
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: really could. But I I go with the numbers, and

640
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: as I said last week, I'm not gonna sit here

641
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: and tell you to sit Curtis Painter and to sit

642
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: Matt Moore and to sit Christian Ponder, basically saying nothing. Uh.

643
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: The matchup though, if you look at the numbers for

644
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is not favorable. The Lions have allowed the

645
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: third fewest fantasy points of quarterbacks this year, so based

646
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: on the numbers, Matt Ryan not a favorable start. Kevin Cobb,

647
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: He's averaging fewer than five fantasy points in his last

648
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,239
Speaker 1: two starts, playing against the Steelers, who have not been

649
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: as good against the run, but they've been really good

650
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: against the past. I'm avoiding that situation. Mark Sanchez against

651
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I'm sorry, Jason Smith, but the Charges are

652
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: allowing right around thirteen fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.

653
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: I don't like Sanchez uh. And Philip Rivers I think

654
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: is someone that if you draft, if you were able

655
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: to get say Tim Tebow or Cam Newton, I start

656
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: those guys over Rivers this week right now. Rivers six

657
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: and six touchdowns seven interceptions. Could be without Vincent Jackson

658
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: because of the hamstring. Uh. Gates might be back this week,

659
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: might not, we don't know. And the Jets have been

660
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: really good in terms of holding down quarterbacks this year.

661
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: Uh They've actually been one of the top three defenses

662
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: in terms of allowing the fewest fantasy points to quarterback.

663
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: So if you have a tebow, if you have a Newton,

664
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: if you have a viable option, maybe Philip Rivers is

665
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,239
Speaker 1: on your bench this week because number one, he has

666
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: struggled this year. He's not been the same fantasy guy

667
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: we've come to know and love over the last couple

668
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: of seasons. This is a road game, West Coast team

669
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: going to the East Coast and the Jets past defense

670
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: again pretty stout with grievous Island out there. And you

671
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: know the other thing too, as far as as we've

672
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: seen guys now coming off to buy teams are rusty

673
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: because now with the new rule that you can't be

674
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: around for there's a four day mandatory break that you

675
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: can't be around, you can't practice. Every team coming off

676
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: of buy is going to be rusty. A guy that

677
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit him this week. But it's a

678
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: big week for me for him as Cam Newton. It's

679
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: not a great match up against the Redskins. Redskins defense

680
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: is okay, it's not great, but it's not awful. But

681
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: he's had two of the last three weeks haven't been

682
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: that great. If he has another down week this week,

683
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: I think Cam Newton kind of becomes a matchup guy

684
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: where it's you know, maybe teams figure out a little

685
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: bit if he has a good matchup. Yeah, I know,

686
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: because you can get you those running points to get

687
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: into the end zone. The goal line carries. But this

688
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: is a big week for me for Cam Newton. He

689
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: threw three picks against the Falcons. Now granted one of

690
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: them wasn't his fault or was was a junk play.

691
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: Another was just a great play by the Falcons defender,

692
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: but still three picks or three picks and fabs. I

693
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 1: totally agree Philip Rivers if you have a viable option,

694
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: I think Philip Rivers is a sit this week. It's

695
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: it's hard to say that, but it is. It's it's

696
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: it's really hard to say. Yeah. And then Lions Falcons,

697
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: I do you know, Jason, you talked about the Brown Seahawks.

698
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: You think could be your your big fantasy game of

699
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: the week as far as a shootout, I think it

700
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: might be the Falcons Lions myself. But I definitely like

701
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: Stafford versus the Falcons better than I like Ryan versus

702
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: the Lions. And obviously Staffords had a better year, but

703
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about pure matchup. I like Stafford a

704
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: lot better than that game. Yeah, Listen, these games here

705
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: are very scenario driven. If the Falcons end up with

706
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: a big lead early, They're gonna run the ball and

707
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's not going to see a lot of action.

708
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: If the Lions jump out to a big lead, Uh,

709
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan probably will be a good start in fantasy

710
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: because he's gonna have to throw the ball a ton.

711
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: And those are things that you just can't predict. You

712
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: really go by the numbers and you hope the matchups

713
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: pan out. But a lot of situations happened like that

714
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: where a game goes into a into a crazy direction.

715
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: It's almost like, uh, when Cam Newton was thrown for

716
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: four yards every week. Panthers were down in a bunch

717
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: of those games and they had to throw the football,

718
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: and that is opportunity to produce for fantasy for fantasy owners,

719
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: that maybe wouldn't have been there if this was a

720
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: back and forth kind of game. If a team gets

721
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: an early lead, they're clearly abandoning the run, going to

722
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: the past. That's what happened last week, would say, Ryan Terrain,

723
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: Redskins got down early. We're down most of the game.

724
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: They had to throw it. Unfortunately Rex Grossman was throwing

725
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: it to the other team and they had to abandon

726
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: the run. Those are sort of things that you can't predict.

727
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: You just look at the numbers, you know. The one

728
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: thing I'll say is because I'm down on Philip Rivers

729
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: through this being in fact in one league, I'm actually

730
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: looking to hopefully start Tebow over Rivers because my my

731
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: waiver period is tonight into tomorrow. But I will say this,

732
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: if Antonio Gates plays, and he did return to practice

733
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, if he plays, I like Rivers a lot more.

734
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: Can't cover the tight end. That's the one thing the

735
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: past defense can. But remember too, um, if Vincent Jackson

736
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: doesn't play, he's got the hamstring number. And if he

737
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: does play, I think he's a really risky start. He's

738
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: playing a wide resuit player. Playing a wide receiver against

739
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: Revas is bad enough without being uh not within hamstring. Uh.

740
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: He could be a risky start this week. If Jackson

741
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: comes out as being active on Sunday. Again, probably not

742
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: a guy you can afford to bench. But don't be

743
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: surprised if his numbers aren't aren't very good. Yeah, because

744
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: I I wouldn't be surprised if they decide, you know what,

745
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: we have to put him out there because we have

746
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: to have Revas take somebody up. And even if Vincent

747
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: Jackson's a decoy doesn't catch any passes, there's no way

748
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna take Revas off of Vincent Jackson. The great

749
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: game he had against him in the playoff game a

750
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. So at least if they decide that,

751
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: North Turner can say, Okay, I have Vincent Jackson and

752
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: Revas is gonna be taken up. We're not throwing the

753
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: ball to him anyway, and we're going a concert and

754
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 1: throwing the ball to other places. May get John Jefferson

755
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: involved and may get a couple of guys Charlie Joiner,

756
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: may catch a couple of passes. Elliot R. So I

757
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: think that would be a strategy and that would be

758
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: if if Antonio Gates does play back more. Well, you know,

759
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I'm disappointing both of you. You're

760
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: mentioning that Jets Chargers and Antonio Gates. I mean, what's

761
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: it more sexy matchup than Randy McMichael and Eric Smith

762
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: going at is sexy? Come on? You know, back to

763
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: the Falcons lines though, if you just joined us. We

764
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: had Steve Weisch NFL dot Com senior righter on with

765
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: us earlier and he mentioned Brandon Pettigrew is a good

766
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: play and I have to agree with that. I wonder

767
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: who on the Falcons is gonna match up with him.

768
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they're safeties or their linebackers are gonna

769
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: do a good job on Pedigrew. That said, Pedigrew gets

770
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: a lot of targets. I sure would like to see

771
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: him fight for the ball more. He's a guy that

772
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: he has decent numbers, but I think he leaves a

773
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: lot of fancy points out on the field. Yeah, Pettigrew's

774
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: actually caught eighteen passes and had two touchdowns over the

775
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: last three games. But do keep in mind that the

776
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: Falcons defense is allowing an average of under seven Fantasy

777
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: points per game to tight end. So maybe pedigrews out

778
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: there has set six catches for sixty yards from a

779
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: tight end. That's not bad, but it's it's not great either.

780
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: So last year Brandon Pettigrew was targeted a hundred and

781
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: eleven times, third most in the league among tight ends,

782
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: and he caught seventy one passes. That's not a very

783
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: high percentage. If you're being targeted a hundred and eleven times,

784
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: you should probably catch between eighty and ninety balls. Just

785
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: say it's it's also it was also his first year.

786
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: You know, you think that, okay, he's gonna be able

787
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: to build on that. You know, that's the one thing

788
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: I look at it. Okay, this is the first time

789
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: Pettigrew was that kind of weapon and to suddenly say, okay,

790
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. I was hoping for a build

791
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: on that this year. But now you see Matthew Stafford's

792
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: he's looking more towards Burls and he's looking more away.

793
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's not just Calvin Johnson now. And that's

794
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: the big thing. I take a look and say, okay,

795
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: because you know Megatron is gonna get his touches. But

796
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: that's the big battle now, is Pettigrew is still going

797
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,959
Speaker 1: to be that guy or will his looks go somewhere else?

798
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: Do you guys like fred Davis or Pettigrew more this week?

799
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: Fred Davis? Yeah? I actually back through the pig through

800
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: to Fred Davis a bunch of times last week. Yeah,

801
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: I like him a lot. I actually have an interesting

802
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: decision to make in our NFL experts league. I have

803
00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: Witten and Pettigrew, and would you consider starting Petigrew over Witten? Nope,

804
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: you never had. The Cowboys could put a lead on

805
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: the Rams and start running the ball. Witten's a superstar

806
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: at that position. Man, and I wrote with who, not

807
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: unless he's hurt. Not unless the Cowboys are off, which

808
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: has already happened. I agree, that's just throwing it out.

809
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: The only guy I'm playing over Jason Witten is Jimmy Graham.

810
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: That's the only guy I'm playing over him. I mean,

811
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: he's been on record for straight yard games preseason sleeper

812
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com. By the way, and now we

813
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: know that that order there in New Orleans, it's it's

814
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham, then Marcus Colston, then everybody else. It's good

815
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: at least have a pecking order, whether or not you

816
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: have those guys or not. But yeah, he was a

817
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: big time sleeper at NFL dot Com this year. But

818
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: if you're if we're gonna talk some saints, I like

819
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: Lance more this week, and I've talked about Lance Moore

820
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: a lot, and and Michael, we talked about Lance Moore

821
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: in our production meeting the other day. I think he's

822
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: a good start this week. He's a nice three because

823
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: of the matchup. Shure NFL Fantasy Live series to ten

828
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: And he was some big wide receiver six for Week

829
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: seven in the NFL's NFL Fantasy Live on Sirius XM

830
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio. I'd say, Jason, I like all the

831
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: gratuitous guitar solos. But you know, I asked our producer Rob,

832
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: can you just play Mean Street by Van Halen, you know,

833
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: just once every week? And it's a small request you

834
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: know it's it's really it's not a big one and

835
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: no Van Hamlen today. It's called punishment for taking last

836
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: week off. It took me an hour and a half

837
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: to get a jet sighlight plate. I mean, come on,

838
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: we gotta figure things out. You weren't here last week.

839
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: You were gone last week, you were on the Bachelor,

840
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: and and and now you know he was he was

841
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: with a few bridesmaids in Texas last week. I'm sure

842
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: you know. I think Brad and Minnesota has been hanging

843
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: on waiting for us. Maybe we should take Bred. All right, Brad,

844
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: go ahead. What do you got? What's your questions for

845
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: un Fantasy Live? Hey, guys, questions? My team was stacked.

846
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: Darren mcfans my starting running back for sure, Christian Ponders

847
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks my quarterback, and I've been startings and every week,

848
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: but now he's on by and then he's all in

849
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: the week after that. My hand Felix Jones. So I

850
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: don't know if if I should pick up to Marco

851
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: Murray or start or I could pick up Ryan Drane

852
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: or I can also pick up mark Ingram. Wow, all

853
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: these guys are availab on the waiver whard I wish

854
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: are you in the six team league? Is that what's

855
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: going on? Wow? I think I think Ingram would probably

856
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: be your best play there. Here's the thing with Ryan Terrain.

857
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you could go for Terrain and skip the

858
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: other guys and get the highest reward because Terrain could

859
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: end up having a monster game or biggest risk, or

860
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: he's the biggest risk and he's the highest reward. So

861
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: it depends on how much you want to roll the

862
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: dice and go for it. Of Murray and Ingram, that's

863
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: a tough one too. I'd probably lean more towards mark Ingram.

864
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: I agree completely. He'll get you about because Ingram you

865
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: can write him down for about ten points fifty yards

866
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: in the touchdown. Maybe a little bit more this week,

867
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: but that's kind of where he's at. Want to be

868
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: a leagues where these guys are available on the free

869
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: agent market. I mean I go into my leagues and

870
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray's already gone. Yeah it killed like the best

871
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: guy can look at and you know, trying to pick

872
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: up and go, boy, dude, do I pick up Roy

873
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: Hello or not? You know, it's kind of where it

874
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: is and most of our lands stuff Alright, Fabbs, you

875
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: got some wide receiver and running back sits. Be given

876
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: the starts and sits all show long here in case

877
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: you haven't uh listened to last hour plus. So, Michael

878
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: Fabiano the number one rank percentage as far as starts

879
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: in sitsco as far as all the experts across the country.

880
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: So give me some wide receiver and running bats sits.

881
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: This week again I mentioned Vincent Jackson. I'm a little

882
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: bit worried about him because of the hamstring and the

883
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: matchup against Darrelle Revis. Remember the last time he actually played,

884
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: he was completely shut down. Had to hamd me by

885
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: Champ Bailey, Santana Moss all or nothing, I can I

886
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: we told you to sit him last week. I wouldn't

887
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: play him against the Panthers. Percy Harvard is somebody that

888
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people probably have to play as a three.

889
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: He's just really done very little, uh to trust him.

890
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: Mike Thomas against the Ravens, Mike Williams against the Bears,

891
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: and I know you're gonna be mad Amie Jason, but

892
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: Santonio Homes against Chargers. I just do not like the matchup. Uh.

893
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: Homes is coming around a little bit, but the Chargers

894
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: have allowed the third fewest fantasy points to wide receivers.

895
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 1: If we talk about running backs, I'll keep it short

896
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: and talking about short Marie Stones Drew was a major

897
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: risk this week. UM on Monday Night against the Ravens.

898
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: Here's a here's a little staff for you. Out of

899
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: the four out of the five number one running backs

900
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 1: they face this year, which has been richardmant and Hall,

901
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson, Cadillic Williams played against them because Jackson was hurt,

902
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: Sean Green and Arian Foster. Five running backs, five number

903
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: ones combined twenty eight fantasy points. Not good. Uh And

904
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: the only running back to have double digits against them

905
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 1: was Foster, and most of his yardage came as a receiver.

906
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: I think more. I have to play more Stones you

907
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: this week. I don't have to like it. The matchup

908
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: is really tough. I'm also benching D'Angelo Williams, Shawn Green,

909
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: Peyton Hillis or Montario hartist you whoever plays, and don't

910
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: be surprised if Steven Jackson has a bad game. The

911
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys have really been against running backs this year. They

912
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: have a lot of the third fewest fantasy points to

913
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: posing runners. So Stephen Jackson, another guy you probably have

914
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: to start, might not put up good numbers though, because

915
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: the matchup is not favorable. Yeah, there's a lot of

916
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: running backs on by this week. You mentioned Sean Green,

917
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: of course, and he's a guy I think that I

918
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: think you start him just because of all the buys,

919
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: and he's a guy that you know is gonna get

920
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: touches a game, but you don't have to like it.

921
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, you know, Greens seeing the touches. He's average,

922
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 1: just not fantasy points a game. Yeah, he's not producing,

923
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: but I think you have to handcuff him. We talked

924
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: about this in NFL Fantasy Live earlier today. I think

925
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: you have to go out and get Joe McKnight because

926
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: the rex Ryans trying to look for ways to get

927
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: him the football a little bit more. He's he's a

928
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: dynamic player and the kick return game caught a couple

929
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: of passes last week. Sean Green continues to do this,

930
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: You're gonna see Joe McKnight take a bigger role in

931
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: the offense. Two questions in the heart of the buys.

932
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: Do you take eight points of the flex and just

933
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: be happy with it? Yeah, I think you do. That's

934
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: why That's why me Sean green my flex eight maybe

935
00:42:58,560 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: he gets in the end zone gives me. But I

936
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: think Greene was drafted as more of a two. And

937
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 1: that's just throwing that out there. And my second question

938
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: is if Jimmy the Greek were alive, do you think

939
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: he'd still be number one? It starts and sits now

940
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: he would kick my butt. Jimmy the Greek I used

941
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: to love watching came in Brent Musburger. I mean it

942
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: was fantastic, and they have ur earth Cross. Now we're

943
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: dating ourselves. Harrison absolutely illian't gumble when he hosted the

944
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: NFL pregame show. Jane Kennedy was on that, but I

945
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, I also

946
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: think eight points is good in your flex spot at

947
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: least bye weeks. You take what you can get. It's
