Speaker 1: or something. We gotta we gotta do something. Go put
Speaker 1: on that hat over there, I got a hold on.
Speaker 1: Go get just the skeleton door. Really, I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, you would look like you put the hat on,
Speaker 1: you would look like the guy from uh Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Like,
Speaker 1: try something, you didn't dodge it. You're a coffee dodgeball player.
Speaker 1: You can dodge a pen. Good at dodgeball. I'm good
Speaker 1: at dodgeball a pen. You can dodge a ball. It's

Speaker 1: do participate in a dodgeball league. And Greg susten while
Speaker 1: he walks out of here and breaks everything. I do
Speaker 1: participate in the dodgeball league. So that's why kind of
Speaker 1: sparked my interest in this Halloween costume. Fun fact, my
Speaker 1: fiance she's going as one of the average Joe's. So
Speaker 1: there you go. That's what we've got going on for Halloween.
Speaker 1: You which average jew is? Whichever one you wanted to be,
Speaker 1: just wearing an average Joe's costumes. She's got the red
Speaker 1: headband and everything. Oh so, would you say she's Peter
Speaker 1: la Fleur? Where Peter? Where's she? Um? The bald guy
Speaker 1: who wears uh, wears the red headband. They got laziest
Speaker 1: tastes and all kind of blazes. You give me, like Milton,
Speaker 1: which one's Milton. He's Milton in the office. I got
Speaker 1: his name, and he's the one that reads the magazine.
Speaker 1: The fat guy Milton is his name in the office,
Speaker 1: not in the office, in that office space. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen office space. That's why you're saying the office. I'm like, Greg,
Speaker 1: you know, I watched a lot of the Office. I
Speaker 1: don't know anyone name. You want Barry, You don't watch Barry.
Speaker 1: I do not watch Barry. All right, So it's Stephen Root.
Speaker 1: Is the actor's name, Oh, Stephen Route. You don't know
Speaker 1: Stephen currently googling Stephen Root. He plays Oh I know this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's um Milton in the office space. He was also
Speaker 1: in Dodgeball. I think that's why I brought it off. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's the guy with the glasses. I just said that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got the wife that cheats on him. And it
Speaker 1: gets to angry, it gets to mean, precisely, that's him.
Speaker 1: You're lucky. I don't have my my fitness Consiglietti Michelle
Speaker 1: with me here. Greg. In Dodgeball, he is Gordon Gordon.
Speaker 1: That's correct, that's right, all right, um, Frank. The Washington
Speaker 1: Nationals are the world sir, champs. Yes they are. You
Speaker 1: watch the game last night. I watched a lot of
Speaker 1: the game in the background while I was taking all
Speaker 1: my notes for this week's Fantasy Football slate. So I
Speaker 1: had a lot going on last night. I was watching
Speaker 1: The Knicks on my phone. Always got this crazy setup
Speaker 1: going on Wednesday nights because there's so much happening. Two laptops,
Speaker 1: one laptop with the research, one laptop I'm in putting
Speaker 1: the research the phone. We're watching the Knicks on the phone,
Speaker 1: the TV. We've got the World Series on the TV.
Speaker 1: So Wednesday's a lot going on. I did not get
Speaker 1: to watch any wrestling, so probably catch up on some
Speaker 1: a E W this weekend. Watched n XT this morning
Speaker 1: before he came to work because I have time to
Speaker 1: watch an wrestling. Last night, even watching the NBA, I
Speaker 1: was watching the World Series Steph Curry tough break. Literally
Speaker 1: I wanted to ring out in the World Series. I
Speaker 1: heard Gab go off this morning about um about a
Speaker 1: j blah blah, and like, Alex, you gotta test this dude,
Speaker 1: like you were there, Like I don't really care, Like
Speaker 1: everyone could have their takes and that's finally, I don't
Speaker 1: get involved in people's takes. But this take was so bad, man, Brian,
Speaker 1: you were there too, Like it was so bad these takes.
Speaker 1: Let it's lose because the Astros lost. The Nationals are
Speaker 1: old school, Like, what, yeah, you're telling me the Nationals
Speaker 1: don't use analytics either. He was just like, you know
Speaker 1: what's Adam heat HadAM eating? He doesn't try to hit
Speaker 1: the home run or cares about a launch angle. He
Speaker 1: just hit a clean saving up the middle, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: who said that? He like, what? We should probably set
Speaker 1: him up with John Sterling. They can go hang out.
Speaker 1: Got a meeting. That a huge hit, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: but like analytics, that is so john Sterling though, right,
Speaker 1: because John Sterling will will always call out, well, if
Speaker 1: the shift wasn't in play, the Yankees would have had
Speaker 1: that one. But he doesn't call out all the times
Speaker 1: that the Yankees get out because they have players in
Speaker 1: the shift. Right. Here's the thing. So here's the thing
Speaker 1: about last night. And I want, obviously I'll watched the
Speaker 1: whole game last night. I don't really have a problem.
Speaker 1: I only have a problem one thing that Adia hinged
Speaker 1: it last night truly, and no issue personally pulling Greeky
Speaker 1: when he did it eighty pitches, he walked the borderline walk.
Speaker 1: I get it allowed the solo home run because that
Speaker 1: was an egregious call to agreed. So here's what happens. Right,
Speaker 1: Let's say he doesn't Oldrinky. Next batter single walks. Now
Speaker 1: it's two on, next batters up. Now you're pulling Drinky
Speaker 1: right now, there's no question you're pulling Grinky. But you
Speaker 1: put Will Harris in a better spot. And maybe Will
Speaker 1: Harris wasn't the guy. He was tired, fine, but he's
Speaker 1: been your guy all postseason. You don't want to bring
Speaker 1: Garrett Cole or different starter in in that moment in
Speaker 1: the middle of man. You don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: You're bringing the guy that's been the best. And if
Speaker 1: you want to make the case that Joe Buck did
Speaker 1: last night, it was like, hey, this is when you
Speaker 1: bring in Robodo. So okay with that. That's a fair critique,
Speaker 1: But no issue of pulling Grinky when he did. My
Speaker 1: issue with Hinge the only issue I had. Vases are loaded.
Speaker 1: Now the season is on the line, right, you're down,
Speaker 1: so you gotta keep it where it is at two runs.
Speaker 1: You don't bring Hosie your kitty when you have Eric
Speaker 1: was sitting there. Now you can't do Yeah, I either
Speaker 1: would have left Granky and personally or I would have
Speaker 1: rather them go to Garrit Cole, right like Garrick's super
Speaker 1: frustrated after the game, you know, putting on his Scott
Speaker 1: Boris hat. I'm no longer employed by the Houston Astros.
Speaker 1: Freaking good for the New York must say so myself.
Speaker 1: But yeah, garrit Cole should have ended up in that
Speaker 1: game last night. He was ready to go on the program.
Speaker 1: Danverageing Ezakis will join us. We'll preview Thursday night football
Speaker 1: of a little more strategic conversation that comes your way. Next.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for the nation's first and only free,
Speaker 1: twenty four hour network dedicated to you, the betting and
Speaker 1: fantasy sports enthusiast. Sports Grade will provide you with a
Speaker 1: real time content, statistics and gaming intelligence unlike anything you've
Speaker 1: ever seen before. Located both in the heart of New
Speaker 1: York City and inside the FanDuel Sports book at the
Speaker 1: meadow Lands, sports Crade's live eighteen hours a day, here
Speaker 1: to serve you the fanatic. This is Sports Grade. Get
Speaker 1: on the grid. Ben Sudden, he did the Moms, We're
Speaker 1: back with you. I'm trying to buy into this Jason
Speaker 1: Segel thing. You really do look like him. He's wearing
Speaker 1: I watched it recently. I watched it back on my
Speaker 1: flight from Poland, and he was wearing a baggy button
Speaker 1: down shirt, and I think there was a point where
Speaker 1: he was wearing a fedora. Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, it was crazy.
Speaker 1: He always had like a weird drink in his hands.
Speaker 1: It was crazy about this shirt. We're make shifting costumes
Speaker 1: right here on this Crazy about this, this baggy button
Speaker 1: down shirt. About its fifteen years. You've had that for
Speaker 1: fifteen years. I had this at least since I like
Speaker 1: my junior year of college, so like thirty five years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thirty five years. So it's been through a lot. Greg
Speaker 1: back back in World War Two. You know, I didn't
Speaker 1: even know they made shirts like that. He looked great,
Speaker 1: Look great, you're killing it. But let's let's do some
Speaker 1: fantasy football, all right? Should we get to um the
Speaker 1: leftover portion? Let's go, let's hit it. Who was left
Speaker 1: in your waiver? We'll tell you right now. It's time
Speaker 1: in the left didn't get your fill from the waiver wire?
Speaker 1: Now I want more. The BFFs has your leftovers? Watch this?
Speaker 1: Never mind, give me a whole lot of it. It's
Speaker 1: leftovers time here on the BFMS hopefully have a lot
Speaker 1: of candy leftover. A little bitte later on tonight the
Speaker 1: first we'll tell you who's left over on the waiver
Speaker 1: wire instand and we begin, Rankie, Well, begin with Detroit
Speaker 1: and specifically your boy having on your less about that
Speaker 1: your boy Danny um in Nola. Jim Sage was talking
Speaker 1: about him earlier today on the Van Noel Hurry up.
Speaker 1: People are believing in Danny a but he's been kind
Speaker 1: of good. You've talked about him a lot this week.
Speaker 1: We know about Marvin Jones, we know about Kenny Golladay.
Speaker 1: Would you actually pick up and start Damn Nola this week?
Speaker 1: I do have them ranked outside of my top thirty six,
Speaker 1: but not far outside. He is. He's right there and
Speaker 1: I'm definitely intrigued in this matchup. Back to back games
Speaker 1: with eight receptions for Danny m and Dola played right
Speaker 1: around sixty of the snaps last week. Both he and Golah.
Speaker 1: They have the best matchups against this Oakland secondary according
Speaker 1: to PFF and Oakland's giving up the six most Fantasy
Speaker 1: points to opposing wide receivers. This game has a fifty
Speaker 1: and a half over under. We expect points back and
Speaker 1: forth I do like Danny Amendola in the spot Greg,
Speaker 1: I would be uh, I would be adding him. And
Speaker 1: if you got someone on a bye week, I think
Speaker 1: he's a start. Absolutely bet Danny Avendola, if you're desperate,
Speaker 1: consenters starting him. Indeed, what about your New York Jet.
Speaker 1: I'm Marius Thomas. Ronny Anderson is so part of the team.
Speaker 1: Do you start to Marius Thomas sweep. I have to
Speaker 1: marry Thomas in a similar range as Danny Amendola this week.
Speaker 1: Rankings will be out soon on the road to experts
Speaker 1: dot com ding. But I do have him behind Danny
Speaker 1: Amendola because there's still three name there's still three y
Speaker 1: receivers here for the Jets, and we do have our
Speaker 1: concerns over this Jets offense right like, we expect him
Speaker 1: to do well this week because the Dolphins are thirty
Speaker 1: second in past defense TV away, their thirty one in
Speaker 1: defensive yards per play so far this season. The Dolphins
Speaker 1: are very bad Damarius Thomas. The targets have been up,
Speaker 1: but ultimately I am trusting Matt Stafford and Alliance offense
Speaker 1: over to the Jets right now. I don't think adding
Speaker 1: to Marus Thomas is a bad idea, Greg in deeper leagues.
Speaker 1: This stretch run coming up for the New York Jets
Speaker 1: the next six weeks is a really, really good schedule.
Speaker 1: But if you're asking me between Damarius and a Mendola,
Speaker 1: I lean a Mendola, but I do like adding to Marius.
Speaker 1: Let me add another piece to that conversation at the
Speaker 1: wide receiver position that brings me to Oakland. We're on.
Speaker 1: D Renfro called the first touchdown of his NFL career
Speaker 1: last week. You talk a lot, Frank this week during
Speaker 1: the waiver wire portion of the week. How much you
Speaker 1: like Derek Carr here? You like how to Renfro too.
Speaker 1: I have him behind both Danny Amundola and Damarius Thomas personally.
Speaker 1: Here again, another really good matchup going up against the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. They've allowed five touchdown scores to wide receivers
Speaker 1: over their last three games. Darius Slayton with two touchdown
Speaker 1: catches last week as well. The problem for Renfro is
Speaker 1: that he played a season high sixty four percent of
Speaker 1: the stats last week. That's actually a good thing, but
Speaker 1: the problem is it's still only sixty percent of the snaps,
Speaker 1: so there's a few other names mixing and matching on
Speaker 1: the outside. Za Jones. Tyrell Williams obviously led the team
Speaker 1: in snaps scored a touchdown in every game he's been
Speaker 1: in so far. I'm intrigued in Hunter Renfro, but I
Speaker 1: don't think that he needs to be added the way
Speaker 1: that the other two have. It is a very good matchup, though,
Speaker 1: good matchup for Hunter Renfroll. We'll see this game. This
Speaker 1: game is gonna be high scoring. I would project yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: fifty and a half total right now, one of the
Speaker 1: highest in the week. That's pretty high. Um, let me
Speaker 1: go outside of the wide receiver position and obviously go
Speaker 1: back to tight ends because Titan has been such a disaster.
Speaker 1: I think that Jack Doyle in one league as my
Speaker 1: tinancas I don't know what else to do. Frank, he
Speaker 1: was left over on two on Wednesday morning, so I
Speaker 1: wind up picking him up in the first come, first
Speaker 1: served portion of the week. I think he still likes
Speaker 1: to end. Yeah, he is. I don't actually have anybody
Speaker 1: else to choose from, So what do you think can
Speaker 1: I do that? Yeah? I'm actually very intrigued by the
Speaker 1: Colts tight ends, trying to figure out which one now
Speaker 1: that's a that's a different question. I'll try my best
Speaker 1: to answer it right now. On the season, Jack Doyle
Speaker 1: and Eric Ebron uh the target share very similar, Jack
Speaker 1: doylecent of the target share, Eric Ebron twelve percent of
Speaker 1: the target share. But Doyle is still playing more snaps,
Speaker 1: he's running more routes. They've both been inconsistent, but I
Speaker 1: think this is a matchup that they're actually going to
Speaker 1: try and exploit with their tight ends because the secondary
Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh has played really, really well since they've acquired
Speaker 1: Minka Fitzpatrick, and they're allowing the eighth most Fantasy points
Speaker 1: to opposing tight ends. So I actually have both of
Speaker 1: these guys inside my top twelve this week. Right I'm
Speaker 1: I'm really hedging here because I have them kind of
Speaker 1: ranked back to back, and I'm hoping that they both
Speaker 1: perform well. Probably won't, or at least one of them
Speaker 1: performs well because the Fantasy proves how they do their
Speaker 1: rankings and it's like, oh, you've got a lot of
Speaker 1: points for it. Yeah. Ultimately, I do like Jack Doyle
Speaker 1: a little bit more than Ibron because he plays more
Speaker 1: and he runs more round streaming tight ends. I can
Speaker 1: take up instead of Jack Doyle. Do you have higher
Speaker 1: in your rankings and the Oils in your top twelve,
Speaker 1: But Darren Fells is also inside of my top twelve.
Speaker 1: You're playing against Eric Darren Fields, so that doesn't work
Speaker 1: for you. How about t J Hockinson. I have him
Speaker 1: ranked inside my top twelve as well. Again, we go
Speaker 1: right back to this game between the Raiders and the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. We could basically just use this as our
Speaker 1: Raiders and Lions preview for tomorrow, Greg and we won't
Speaker 1: have to talk about the game. But ultimately I'm gonna
Speaker 1: not doing this. Then t J Hockenson, the targets have
Speaker 1: been inconsistent for him, but Oakland is giving up the
Speaker 1: third most Fantasy points to opposing tight ends this year.
Speaker 1: They've allowed six touchdowns two tight ends, and again, what
Speaker 1: we're looking for for a streaming tight end is someone
Speaker 1: that can score a touchdown. So I actually have Hockinson
Speaker 1: ranked higher than both the Colts guys because there's only
Speaker 1: one Detroit Lions tight end as opposed to too for
Speaker 1: the Colts tight ends, so you don't really have to
Speaker 1: worry about you know, I'll do I decide between Ebron
Speaker 1: or Jack Doyle. Yes, Hockinson has been inconsistent, but it's
Speaker 1: a really really good matchup going up against Oakland. Alrighty,
Speaker 1: So that's it for the tight end position. Oakland's offense
Speaker 1: has been great this year. Defense not so much. So
Speaker 1: much at all. I feel like a great job. You
Speaker 1: can just say that on repeat every single year. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: normally the Raiders offense isn't very bad. Yeah, but this
Speaker 1: year their eighth and yards per play, it's very good.
Speaker 1: There's twenty three in yarks per play on defense? What
Speaker 1: is that? What are you drinking? I cannot tell you? Okay,
Speaker 1: creation are you allowed to drink alcoholic beverages on the show?
Speaker 1: I never said you weren't. I'll keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: Who knows what I'll come back with that? And it's
Speaker 1: marathon call. It was just like all morning, you haven't
Speaker 1: seen me all day. I have not kind of needed it,
Speaker 1: you know that? Is that is very fair? Yeah? All right, um,
Speaker 1: let me get to the running back. Let me get
Speaker 1: to the running back spot here. There weren't many running
Speaker 1: backs obviously to choose from all the way over wire
Speaker 1: in general this week, the leftover portion of the running
Speaker 1: back position admittedly not how about Jeff Wilson. He still
Speaker 1: might be out there in some leagues, Greg, And we
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on yet for tonight. A lot
Speaker 1: of people have been asking us. Ultimately, we don't have
Speaker 1: the answers we can speculate. I don't think either Raheem
Speaker 1: Moster or Matt Brita place tonight, Gregg. And if that's
Speaker 1: the case, like we said all week, we talked about
Speaker 1: most do as an ad this is a good matchup
Speaker 1: going up against Arizona. You know that they're going to
Speaker 1: run the football. They are first in the NFL and
Speaker 1: rush percentage of San Francisco forty niners. They're not just
Speaker 1: gonna give Tevin Coleman thirty touches tonight. If both Brita
Speaker 1: and Mostard are out tonight, Jeff Wilson is elevated to
Speaker 1: a flexi play. Would you start Jeff Wilson over your
Speaker 1: boy Mark Walton? No, I mean the Jets have been
Speaker 1: that bad. So it's actually interesting, right, So the Jets
Speaker 1: are second, their second in the NFL in yarks per
Speaker 1: carry against running backs. They do really good in that department,
Speaker 1: but they've been giving up so many touchdowns because teams
Speaker 1: are just driving down the field on them. Their defense
Speaker 1: has been on the field so much so when they
Speaker 1: get in that area, they're allowing a lot of touchdowns.
Speaker 1: And they're also allowing a lot of receptions. Last week,
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette had a career high seven receptions against
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. The week before that, James White
Speaker 1: had seven receptions as well against the New York Jets.
Speaker 1: So Mark Walton last week had six targets. You can
Speaker 1: expect targets again this week, and I think there's gonna
Speaker 1: be some receptions. I know normally. We spoke about him
Speaker 1: the other day and we said, no, if you have
Speaker 1: a wide receiver that is in a better spot, like
Speaker 1: a Chris Conley, that you can look that way. But
Speaker 1: if you're just asking me Mark Walton versus Jeff Wilson,
Speaker 1: even if those other running backs are out, I will
Speaker 1: go with Mark bone. I think it's a good match
Speaker 1: against the Jets. One more running back left over to
Speaker 1: get to before Virginia joins us in a few moments.
Speaker 1: Trey Carson, Detroit Lions starter could be out there. What
Speaker 1: do you think he is outside my top thirty six.
Speaker 1: So I like those other guys way more, especially if
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, uh, Mostard and Brita are out tonight. Okay,
Speaker 1: fair enough, all right, We'll take a break here. When
Speaker 1: we come back, Virginia Zakis, I mean Inside Injuries, will
Speaker 1: join us or get the latest on that Brita and
Speaker 1: Rahee Moster and more. Are you ready for the nation's
Speaker 1: first and only, free, twenty four hour network dedicated to
Speaker 1: you The betting and fantasy sports enthusiast. Sports Grade will

Speaker 1: intelligence unlike anything you've ever seen before. Located both in
Speaker 1: the heart of New York City and inside the FanDuel
Speaker 1: Sports book at the Meadowlands Sports Crade, He's live eighteen
Speaker 1: hours a day. You just serve you the fanatic. This
Speaker 1: is Sports Crade. Get all the Grade. I'm falling and
Speaker 1: I can get up Inside Injuries with Virginia Zakis. But
Speaker 1: a scratch, a scratch, the arms off back with you. Pff.
Speaker 1: You hear the music, you hear the promo? I mean
Speaker 1: the type of Virginia Zaka has been said Injuries? What's happened? Virginia?
Speaker 1: Hey guys, Happy Halloween, Happy Halloween. You're you're not dressed up?
Speaker 1: I was a little more concerned about getting a costume
Speaker 1: for my dog this year than I was for myself. So,
Speaker 1: what is your dog dressing up as? Um? His name
Speaker 1: is Tiger, so he's dressing up as a tiger. I
Speaker 1: thought you're gonna go Tiger Woods. I thought you're gonna
Speaker 1: get like a red polo for the dog. Okay, that's cool,
Speaker 1: that's cool. I gotta dog. Do you have a um?
Speaker 1: He's a cavapoo, So a Cavalier King Charles poodle mix.
Speaker 1: That sounds adorable. He looks like a little Teddy bear.
Speaker 1: He has adorable. That's awesome. Dog, Frank, you're a low
Speaker 1: one on that, Greig. I don't want to dog. No.
Speaker 1: I don't no animals ever for me. Ever, I grew
Speaker 1: up in a household with a lot of animals. I
Speaker 1: learned my lesson no more animals, sorry, Bud. Let's move
Speaker 1: on to the inside Injuries portion of the program sponsored
Speaker 1: by Virginia. All right tonight Thursday night football. It is
Speaker 1: the San Francisco four nnor is taking on the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals and there are a plethora of running backs that
Speaker 1: are banged up in this one. Virginia on the San
Speaker 1: Francisco side, you over Heea Moster and Matt Breta. On
Speaker 1: the Cardinal side, David Johnson Chase Edmonds both ruled out.
Speaker 1: I know it's a lot to unpack. In Navy, Johnson
Speaker 1: hasn't been ruled out yet, has been ruled out this
Speaker 1: this morning, or maybe not ruled out. Schefter said he's
Speaker 1: not playing night. Okay, so that's ruled out in my mind.
Speaker 1: But anyway, all four running backs may not play tonight.
Speaker 1: I know it's a loaded question in Virginia. Can you
Speaker 1: help us break it down? Yeah? I think the forty
Speaker 1: Niners are, you know, seemed to be in a slightly
Speaker 1: better position than the Cardinals. But Um, Brita and Mostard
Speaker 1: are both, um, you know, looking questionable. It seems like
Speaker 1: both of them have a pretty good chance to play
Speaker 1: as long as their pregame warm ups go well. Um
Speaker 1: Mostard is dealing with a knee injury. We're showing a
Speaker 1: Grade one mild knee spring. Um should be healthy to return,
Speaker 1: we're showing in week ten. But he's a very high
Speaker 1: injury risk tonight. Um, Thursday night game is really not
Speaker 1: helping him in this situation. Uh, you know, Brita's dealing
Speaker 1: with a what looked like a low ankle sprain. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: he dealt with ankle injuries throughout what seemed like almost
Speaker 1: the entire two thousand eighteen season. UM. He always seemed
Speaker 1: to return much faster than we expected, UM and played
Speaker 1: pretty well, but reaggravated his ankle over and over again.
Speaker 1: And I'm a little bit worried that that's what's going
Speaker 1: to happen tonight. So I think starting either of them
Speaker 1: is going to be very very risky. UM. The forty
Speaker 1: niners could end up just kind of seeing who looks
Speaker 1: better on the first few possessions and then go with
Speaker 1: that guy. Could be a true split, but both are
Speaker 1: going to be very very risky place tonight due to
Speaker 1: their injuries. UM. Like you said, it doesn't look like
Speaker 1: David Johnson is going to play as he recovers from
Speaker 1: that ankle injury. That we're showing a healthy to return
Speaker 1: date next week. So we're hoping if he doesn't play tonight,
Speaker 1: he'll have close to three weeks to fully heal and
Speaker 1: he can really get healthy UM and be good to
Speaker 1: go after that. UM. And then there's Chase Edmunds already out.
Speaker 1: We're sharing the great two hamstring strain, which is a
Speaker 1: more moderate strain. UM. We're actually showing he shouldn't return
Speaker 1: until week twelve UM, and this is expected to be
Speaker 1: a multi week absence, so it could be a while
Speaker 1: before we see him back out there. Pace Edmonds has
Speaker 1: the buy in week twelve as well, so we're looking
Speaker 1: at him potentially not returning until week thirteen. David Johnson
Speaker 1: would be surprising if you play tonight and everything I
Speaker 1: just said the last segment about me expecting Matt Brita
Speaker 1: and Rahee mostered not to play tonight, It's false according
Speaker 1: to Virginia, So just pay attention before tonight if those
Speaker 1: guys are rule out that we like Jeff Wilson, but
Speaker 1: ultimately if they play, then obviously that puts Jeff Wilson
Speaker 1: off our radar. Virginia, I want to ask you about
Speaker 1: James Connor, obviously dealing with this a C joint in
Speaker 1: his shoulder. He said on a radio interview earlier in
Speaker 1: the week that he does expect to play. What does
Speaker 1: the algorithm say regarding James Connor, should he be able
Speaker 1: to play in this game and what would his injury
Speaker 1: risk be if he does play? Yes? So We've seen
Speaker 1: quite a few running backs this year with this injury.
Speaker 1: The same injury, UM, A milder a C sprain. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those shoulder injuries. It's painful
Speaker 1: to play through, but especially as a running back, it
Speaker 1: is possible. Um. The real concern is if he takes
Speaker 1: a big hit or if he lands hard on that
Speaker 1: shoulder again the same way he originally heard it. Um,
Speaker 1: he may not be able to finish out the game.
Speaker 1: But hopefully it's more of a pain management issue. Tonight.
Speaker 1: Um he did or this weekend. Um, he did avoid
Speaker 1: a classical fracture, which was a concern initially. So that's
Speaker 1: good news. UM, So we're saying that he should be
Speaker 1: able to play this week. He is a high injury risk,
Speaker 1: but he was already a high injury risk because this
Speaker 1: season already he's had quad, ankle, and knee issues, and
Speaker 1: in the last few seasons he's had some injury issues
Speaker 1: as well. So high injury risk, but his health performance
Speaker 1: factor is above average, so our algorithm is saying he
Speaker 1: should actually play pretty well through the injury. That's just
Speaker 1: kind of surprising. James Connor. The rare good news from
Speaker 1: that from Virginia. I like it, especially for us as
Speaker 1: a as a James Conner owners, Greg, Yeah, again, rare
Speaker 1: good news. We'll take it. We will take it for sure.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's continue on Virginia, and let's with our
Speaker 1: players rank that includes D D Westbrook. We saw him
Speaker 1: leave last week early, didn't really play all that much
Speaker 1: this week there in London, and he's practicing a limited
Speaker 1: bases here thus far this week. Yep. So he was
Speaker 1: officially limited yesterday. UM. It sounds like he's back out
Speaker 1: there again today. So that's obviously good news. But I
Speaker 1: am pretty concerned about him, considering it's something he's dealt
Speaker 1: with over the last few weeks and he aggravated. UM.
Speaker 1: It's always more concerning when a player aggravates an injury
Speaker 1: because that likely means that they made it worse the
Speaker 1: second time. We are showing a healthy to return date
Speaker 1: not until week ten. UM. Had he just sat out
Speaker 1: last week, he would have been, according to our algorithm,
Speaker 1: healthy to return for this week. But because he played
Speaker 1: re injured his shoulder, UM, it's getting pushed back a week.
Speaker 1: So he is a high injury risk. UM, and his
Speaker 1: health performance right now is below average, so we don't
Speaker 1: expect a great game from him. If he does end
Speaker 1: up playing, which it's looking like he's going to, Well,
Speaker 1: that is music to my ears, Greg, because while we
Speaker 1: never root for injuries here on the show, Chris Connley
Speaker 1: is someone that I am very, very fond of this
Speaker 1: week in fantasy football. So even if DD Westbrook goes,
Speaker 1: he could be limited, might even have a chance of
Speaker 1: leaving that game as well. So I'm not going to
Speaker 1: change my stance on Chris Conley even if D D.
Speaker 1: Westbrook plays this week. We're speaking with Virginia zakas of
Speaker 1: Inside Injuries. Happy Halloween, Virginia. I want to ask you
Speaker 1: about Patrick Mahomes. Limited participant in practice yesterday. He's going
Speaker 1: to be limited again today Again. It's still kind of
Speaker 1: feels like they might be bringing him along too quickly.
Speaker 1: What's is you when it comes to Patrick Mahomes. The
Speaker 1: fact that he's on the field practicing, does that mean
Speaker 1: that he's going to be good to go and play
Speaker 1: this week? Yeah? I still don't believe he should play
Speaker 1: this week. Um, he was limited last week, limited again
Speaker 1: this week at practice. Unfortunately I haven't seen any clips
Speaker 1: of him moving around yet, but that would sort of
Speaker 1: help us to sort of get a better feel for
Speaker 1: how his knee is progressing. But you know, just two
Speaker 1: weeks after dislodating his right knee clap, it's still very unstable. Um.
Speaker 1: And you know, even if he wears a brace and
Speaker 1: he's been doing extensive rehab, two weeks just isn't enough
Speaker 1: time for it to be strong enough quite yet. So
Speaker 1: still worried about him. Um. We actually are showing that
Speaker 1: he has a healthy to return date in week twelve.
Speaker 1: I don't actually expect him to miss that much time,
Speaker 1: but he is going to be in that high risk
Speaker 1: category until he hits that mark. Um. I'm thinking next
Speaker 1: week is looking a lot more realistic. Um. And I
Speaker 1: would also love to see him get in at least
Speaker 1: one to two full practices before they run him out there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm actually watching some video right out on Twitter
Speaker 1: that was shot yesterday from Rob Collins of Fox four
Speaker 1: TV Kansas City, and it's just Patrick Mahomes jogging around
Speaker 1: a little bit. But he still looks ginger personally, So
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, it's gonna be interesting to see.
Speaker 1: I I know Billy Hayes has a question in the chat,
Speaker 1: like do you play a quarterback tonight. Do you play
Speaker 1: a Garoppolo tonight or do you risk Mahomes playing. It's
Speaker 1: a tough one, you know. I think I don't tough
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, would just go with Garoppolo. No, No,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't because they don't throw the ball enough correct,
Speaker 1: especially tonight where I think they're gonna run the ball
Speaker 1: a lot. There's enough quarterbacks out there. We've spoken about it, Gardner, Minshew,
Speaker 1: Derek carr Um, Daniel j. And you have that luxury
Speaker 1: where tonight, if you decide not to play Garoppolo, you
Speaker 1: can just drop him and to pick up another quarterback
Speaker 1: that plays on Sunday or something that there is one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can do that. Yeah, I know. Well in any
Speaker 1: league you could just drop the player now before tonight,
Speaker 1: before the game starts, and you have an open roster
Speaker 1: spot of eilble Yes to cover yourself in case Mahomes
Speaker 1: doesn't play. Absolutely, I think that's where I would go.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I take the shot of Mahomes,
Speaker 1: even not at full strength. If he's active, you gotta
Speaker 1: play this Viking second is not what it has been. Man.
Speaker 1: We saw Kate Keenam tearing them apart last Thursday night
Speaker 1: before he got hurt. Of course, we're talking to Virginia
Speaker 1: Zaus here of inside injuries, and Virginia I wanted to
Speaker 1: hit on, um the Lady Walker, would you know? It
Speaker 1: was like a crazy boring one. But then what the
Speaker 1: Lady Walker is to do? Smith was really good last week?
Speaker 1: And I know Walker has didn't play either really of
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Didn't practice yesterday. The Titans by
Speaker 1: is coming up. Do you expected walking to me back?
Speaker 1: It is not looking like he's gonna play this weekend.
Speaker 1: He didn't practice yesterday. Um, it sounds like he's dealing
Speaker 1: with pain in that ankle that he suffered that gruesome
Speaker 1: injury to last year, the fracture dislocation that forced him
Speaker 1: to miss the entire season. Um. You know, aggravations like
Speaker 1: this are pretty common when coming back from such a
Speaker 1: serious injury, and I think they're going to be very
Speaker 1: very cautious with him. Um, given the severity of that
Speaker 1: injury last year and his injury history. He's got a
Speaker 1: lot of injuries to his name. So I don't think
Speaker 1: he's going to play this week. Our algorithm is showing
Speaker 1: that the earliest he should play is week ten, but
Speaker 1: week eleven or twelve looks a little bit more realistic.
Speaker 1: Virginia we saw earlier today they announced a timetable for
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. And while you know Joe Flacco himself is
Speaker 1: not all that fantasy relevant, he was getting the ball
Speaker 1: to star receiver Courtland Sutton so far this year. So
Speaker 1: what do we have regarding Joe Flacco. Do we expect
Speaker 1: him to play again the season? He's out four to
Speaker 1: six weeks um, according to Adam Schefter, dealing with a
Speaker 1: bolding disc in his neck. We have Virginia, Sorry, Virginia's
Speaker 1: frozen right now, So Joe Flacco will find out from
Speaker 1: Virginia regarding Joe Flacco. But Brandon Allen expected to start
Speaker 1: this week, and obviously, you know that has uh huge implication,
Speaker 1: implications on the value of Courtland Sutton, who has been
Speaker 1: so so so consistent. Sutton Noah Fan, two guys that
Speaker 1: we were kind of excited about coming out of last
Speaker 1: week's game with Joe Flacco and Virginia. Will we have
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco anytime June? So they're saying he's expected to
Speaker 1: miss four to six weeks. Our algorithm is showing a
Speaker 1: ten week optimal recovery time for this herning at a
Speaker 1: disc in his neck. Um. They're saying he doesn't need surgery,
Speaker 1: which is good news, but this is still a very
Speaker 1: painful injury. UM. And unfortunately too, he's going to probably
Speaker 1: have to take you know, around four weeks off from
Speaker 1: the throwing so that his neck can heal. Um. It's
Speaker 1: just not realistic for him to get you know, fully
Speaker 1: healthy and that amount of time. UM. I also think
Speaker 1: it is possible that in the off season he could
Speaker 1: undergo surgery if his neck doesn't feel one, um, you know,
Speaker 1: within a few weeks after the season's over. But I
Speaker 1: think he's got a shot to return. But if I
Speaker 1: had to guess, I don't think he'll be back out
Speaker 1: there late in the year alright, So Joe Flacco could
Speaker 1: be done with his time in Denver, which hopefully is
Speaker 1: in bad news for something, and maybe in the NFL
Speaker 1: as a starter. For sure, he's likely a backup moving forward. Virginia,
Speaker 1: We appreciate the time is always I am excited to
Speaker 1: see pictures of Tiger. I mean, a great night, enjoy
Speaker 1: trick or treating with Tiger. Well, I'll talk to the
Speaker 1: next week. It's good right, we come back Thursday night
Speaker 1: football preview with an update on that Rita and the
Speaker 1: whole lot more. Yeah, that's wrap up Reference. Are you

Speaker 1: and you tend to this points beat thing I have.
Speaker 1: I have not done it yet, but it sounds very interesting. Crazy,
Speaker 1: So I know what this promo says. Um, but I
Speaker 1: saw it. Darren Revell explain it like a different way.
Speaker 1: The revel basically said, if you bet, if you buying
Speaker 1: this point spet thing. Right, Let's say you take the
Speaker 1: Niners minus ten tonight, right, you bet ten bucks on it.
Speaker 1: If they win by eleven, you get you get, um
Speaker 1: it was it ten times whatever that whatever that number
Speaker 1: is only star stocks twelve times your stake. It's twelve board.
Speaker 1: It's like all right, one times you're staa it's one
Speaker 1: point off the ten. Right, they went by twelve, you
Speaker 1: get two times, you get thirteen, three times like going
Speaker 1: off so on and so forth. Right, So instead of
Speaker 1: doubling your bet, you would get like twenty third, so
Speaker 1: much percent just even, it's just even, just makes just
Speaker 1: for our purposes, right, bet ten bucks, you winn't ten
Speaker 1: bucks in this regard. Right, So if they win by
Speaker 1: ten or you gotta cover by eleven, you get ten bucks.
Speaker 1: Even by twelve you get twenty bucks. You would buy.
Speaker 1: That's pretty what happens if they lose does it goes
Speaker 1: the other way? So if they if they wind up,
Speaker 1: if they wind up winning by nine in this scenario,
Speaker 1: you gotta twenty bucks. Yeah, there's always a catch. Rain
Speaker 1: last week if you met the forty niners. So there
Speaker 1: was like an example, so Ravel's example was week one.
Speaker 1: It was the Ravens against the offense, kay, and somebody
Speaker 1: put like three grand on it or three grants whatever,
Speaker 1: a lot of money on it, and they won by
Speaker 1: like fifty points, remember, and they got that much time
Speaker 1: in their bed, like the dude made like three or
Speaker 1: something along those lines. And it does max out on
Speaker 1: a ten times or fifty times or something. And you
Speaker 1: could actually put a max when you got bet at points.
Speaker 1: Bet you can put a max of how much you're
Speaker 1: willing to risk because it could go in the offensive direction. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you can put a max that you only want to
Speaker 1: lose let's or ten or you want want to lose
Speaker 1: ten bucks, you but eight dollar or whatever. It was
Speaker 1: a really really cool concept points but has it all?
Speaker 1: So that's pretty cool. Yeah, that is pretty crazy. I
Speaker 1: mean this works great if you want to do this.
Speaker 1: By the way, this works well for you know if
Speaker 1: you kind of keep power rankings or power ratings rather
Speaker 1: of teams yourself. Right, and you see a line that's
Speaker 1: kind of out of wax, something that just really does
Speaker 1: not you know, make sense to you. Let's say this
Speaker 1: week the Jets are minus three in Miami gets the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: You're saying, well, there's no way like the Jets are
Speaker 1: gonna win. They're gonna blow them out. They're gonna win
Speaker 1: by say fourteen points. That's the one that you obviously
Speaker 1: would jump in on, because then you know, for every
Speaker 1: point that's past three, we're talking to eleven points past it. Like,
Speaker 1: if you really think the Jets are gonna blow out
Speaker 1: the Dolphins this week, and that's something that you look
Speaker 1: you look into, but you really really have to be confident.
Speaker 1: And I think there's there are times where you can
Speaker 1: tell that a line looks out of whack and you're like,
Speaker 1: I feel really good about this team plowing out this
Speaker 1: other team. That's where you jump in. Okay, let me
Speaker 1: move on, Frankie, and let me get to it's just
Speaker 1: a Thursday night football before we get to anything else.
Speaker 1: So leanna make sure we hit that Cardinals and uh
Speaker 1: Niners tonight ten point favorites are the San Francisco in Arizona.
Speaker 1: The latest word that I've gotten, I've gotten my Twitter
Speaker 1: feed has gotten in regards to Matt Breeda and his
Speaker 1: availability tonight. Do we're not his running back Matt Brito,
Speaker 1: who's listening to Questionable with ankle injury, is playing tonight
Speaker 1: versus the Cardinals. He felt good this morning, so he's
Speaker 1: ready to go. Do you trust Matt Breda? Can you
Speaker 1: start him? He should be flextion because it's a really
Speaker 1: good match. I must pull the game or ask the
Speaker 1: question that answered. I mean you can answer, go ahead,
Speaker 1: Greg if you want to me personally, I don't think
Speaker 1: that I can get him in there unless I'm unless
Speaker 1: you're talking about like Matt Breeda versus Trey Carson right,
Speaker 1: Like really didn't right? Right? So here's the thing with
Speaker 1: Brita's starting You can't start Jeff Wilson. Correct with Britta starting,
Speaker 1: although Jeff Wilson still might have a good game if
Speaker 1: Brita leave. There's just no way you're gonna know. You
Speaker 1: can't start. Whee most there assume he's active. I have
Speaker 1: no idea. Well, at this point it doesn't matter because
Speaker 1: Matt Breed is already act. So now you're the only
Speaker 1: one that you feel super confident in is Kevin Coleman,
Speaker 1: which is which is actually amazing, because that's an amazing part.
Speaker 1: The amazing thing is on Tuesday or top Waiver wire
Speaker 1: ads Jaylen Samuels, Most there, Jeff Wilson, Oh, maybe irrelevant
Speaker 1: this week. That's why it's so tough to do waivers
Speaker 1: that early in the week, right, We're really just going
Speaker 1: based off speculation. Earlier in the show. I speculated that
Speaker 1: Brita and most We're not gonna play comes out thirty
Speaker 1: minutes later that Matt Brita looks like he is going
Speaker 1: to play tonight. So me personally, Greg, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to put him back in my rankings because, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: I was ranking as if he was not going to
Speaker 1: be in tonight. But you look at some of those
Speaker 1: flex running backs. Greg let's kind of run down this
Speaker 1: list here, would you start Matt Brida over let's say
Speaker 1: Las saw McCoy against the Vikings as if we're talking
Speaker 1: about in the in those flex that flex running back discussion,
Speaker 1: I would start Matt Brida. Matchup is a lot matched,
Speaker 1: a lot better, and unfortunately, given how last week ended,
Speaker 1: there's no guaranteed the John mcoy as a starter on
Speaker 1: his team. Even that is fair. What about Matt Breeda
Speaker 1: versus the other side of this game, Kenyan Drake. So
Speaker 1: I'm really glad you bring up Kenyan Dreda. Right, So
Speaker 1: David Johnson is not playing. Jason Emmons was ruled out
Speaker 1: three days ago, which means Kenyan Drake, as Cliff Kingsbury said,
Speaker 1: it's going to be mixed in. What does mixed in mean?
Speaker 1: I don't know. He was acquired three days ago, by
Speaker 1: the scene, that's not exaggeration, Frankie, three days ago he
Speaker 1: was acquired. Takes a school. Now you're like, in the
Speaker 1: two days he's had one practice with this team. I
Speaker 1: understand he knows how to catch the ball onto the
Speaker 1: backfield and and the ball run the ball. I get that.
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely starting that Breda or Kennyan Drake tonight. I
Speaker 1: just Kenny's fair to have Kenyan Drake inside my top
Speaker 1: thirty six at running back or is that who aggressive?
Speaker 1: I think it's aggressive, and I think that Kenyan Drake
Speaker 1: will be used. And let's say that two minute drill
Speaker 1: where he here your pass blocks, stay in your pass block,
Speaker 1: where you go out for a route. I think that's
Speaker 1: what he specializes in. And then Zack centers, so bad man.
Speaker 1: But it's a revenge game. Ralph is a revenge game
Speaker 1: for Ralph, and and those are likely the three running
Speaker 1: backs that we're looking at being active here. I'm still
Speaker 1: gonna have Kenyan Drake ranks inside of my top thirty
Speaker 1: six for tonight, so he is in that conversation as
Speaker 1: a flex running back. But Greg is right, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a very risky situation. We have no idea
Speaker 1: how much work he's going to see. I kind of
Speaker 1: air on the side of he's that much better than
Speaker 1: Zack Zenter and Alfred Morris that he probably is going
Speaker 1: to see double digit touches in this game. And the
Speaker 1: way to attack to San Francisco forty nine. Look, their
Speaker 1: defense is awesome. They are tied for first in yards
Speaker 1: per play on defense with the New England Patriots. They
Speaker 1: are first in the NFL in past defense dv A way,
Speaker 1: they're fifteenth in the NFL in run defense dev away.
Speaker 1: The way to attack the San Francisco forty Niners defense
Speaker 1: is by running the football. Greg, how about this. They
Speaker 1: are allowing four point four three yards per carry to
Speaker 1: opposing running backs this year. That's actually higher than you
Speaker 1: would suspect. They're only allowing the second fewest fantasy points
Speaker 1: to running backs because they are playing so many games
Speaker 1: with leads that opposing teams have to try and pass
Speaker 1: to get back in the game. Against San Francisco, they've
Speaker 1: just been blowing teams out left and right, so teams
Speaker 1: haven't really had the opportunity to run the ball against them.
Speaker 1: But the way to attack this forty Niners defense is
Speaker 1: by running the football. I am not condoning Kenyan Drake
Speaker 1: as a must start. He is not an RB two.
Speaker 1: He is in the discussion as a low end flex
Speaker 1: as a low end RB three. On the other side,
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman obviously really really like him in this spot,
Speaker 1: coming off a game where he just scored four total
Speaker 1: touchdowns going up against the Cardinals, who just allowed Latavious
Speaker 1: Murray to go for a hundred and fifty seven total
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. One of the best run blocking
Speaker 1: offensive lines in the game right now without their two
Speaker 1: starting tackles. This is just absolutely insane what the San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners are doing. I think we get fifteen
Speaker 1: plus touches from Tevin Coleman in the spot Greg and
Speaker 1: I am one with Gaymorency on Tevin Coleman's seven. I'm
Speaker 1: not touching just the rushing. I'm not trusting touching, just
Speaker 1: the receiving. I'm going with the rushing plus receiving. The
Speaker 1: total yardage over at the Vandals Sports book. You can
Speaker 1: get that at eighty and a half tonight. He might
Speaker 1: just do that on the ground that is minus one.
Speaker 1: So I am in on the over on Tevin Coleman's
Speaker 1: rushing plus receiving for tonight. It's interesting because when Dane
Speaker 1: and I were talking about there's a Monday night, and
Speaker 1: think you might have been in all of the conversation like,
Speaker 1: all right, what number are you banks havin Coleman at
Speaker 1: and he usually been him over ninety four rushing yards?
Speaker 1: You know, now I'm not gonna do that. You been
Speaker 1: him over eighty four rushing yards? A hundred four over
Speaker 1: eighty four? You would do that? Would you put him
Speaker 1: over seventy four rushing yards? Absolutely? He's total number And
Speaker 1: he said what one? He said total numbers one rushing yards.
Speaker 1: I believed game said this morning, sixty nine. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I'm in you know that for sure. Yeah. So he's
Speaker 1: been back since Week five. He's played four games with
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners. He's actually only cleared this
Speaker 1: prop twice. The reason why he's been so valuable for
Speaker 1: fantasies because he's scoring touchdowns left or right. So he is,
Speaker 1: you know, only two. He's only covered this two out
Speaker 1: of the last four games. But I think tonight against
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, based on the spread that we see
Speaker 1: in this game right now, the forty Niners are laying
Speaker 1: ten points in San Francisco, they're likely playing with the lead,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a good spot. How about this, Greg,
Speaker 1: Since Tevin Coleman has returned, he's averaging sixteen point three
Speaker 1: rushing attempts per game. He has six total touchdowns. He's
Speaker 1: the RB five overall over the last month of the season.
Speaker 1: He's absolutely getting it done. As some people would say, Greg,
Speaker 1: yes they obviously what could you start Kyler Murder? It
Speaker 1: dook about Gimmy a little while ago. He doesn't. He's
Speaker 1: pass the ball enough. So don you start Kyler Murray?
Speaker 1: You can, you shouldn't, because again, the San Francisco forty
Speaker 1: Niners are first against against the past in terms of
Speaker 1: past defense DVA so far this year, Greg, you tell
Speaker 1: me if I'm overreacting. I have Kyler Murray ranked as
Speaker 1: my twenty first quarterback in a super flex league. I
Speaker 1: have Kyler Murray, Jimmy Garoppolo, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1: I am actually flirting with benching both of the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: that are playing tonight, starting Minshew and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Am
Speaker 1: I crazy? I just don't know what to expect from
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in this game. Kyler Murray has five total
Speaker 1: touchdowns over his last five games, Greig, he has three
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns. It's not what you
Speaker 1: want to see. He hasn't been getting it done from
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective. He's been running the ball more recently.
Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't do it last week against the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. But now you're talking about a game
Speaker 1: where he's likely playing from behind based on the spread
Speaker 1: that we have in this game against a defense that
Speaker 1: is just feasting on opposing quarterbacks right now, they get
Speaker 1: after the quarterback. Kyler Murray is gonna be running for
Speaker 1: his life tonight. His offensive line is not a good one.
Speaker 1: He's going up against one of the best pass rushes
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Greg, I don't feel good about Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray one bit. I have him as my QB twenty one.
Speaker 1: I would be streaming Derek Carr over him. Gardner Minshew's
Speaker 1: inside my top ten. I would use James Winston over him.
Speaker 1: I woulduse Sam Donald. I have Ryan Fitzpatrick ranked one
Speaker 1: spot higher. Greg, start my quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick, Kyler Murray,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, Gardner Minshew. I think Minshew is the one
Speaker 1: that that's locked in. I would lock him Minshew. I
Speaker 1: would probably start Kyler Murray. I would go Murray Minshew.
Speaker 1: Jimmy doesn't throw the ball enough. It's a good matchup.
Speaker 1: I understand that against the secondary. Patrick Peterson is back,
Speaker 1: but we just saw he was back last week for
Speaker 1: three seventy three and three. He was a great matchup.
Speaker 1: He didn't throw the ball enough. Hyler Murray could do
Speaker 1: it with his legs and his arm. That's what I
Speaker 1: would do. No, that's fair. It's just this is one
Speaker 1: of those that where I'm it's like I said, I'm easy.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be debating it right up until game time.
Speaker 1: Minshoe is the one lock for me, and then I
Speaker 1: have to choose my super flex between those three, and
Speaker 1: it's a tough spot obviously. George Kittle, you love him tonight,
Speaker 1: going up against the defense that allows the most fantasy
Speaker 1: points to opposing tight ends. I like his prop tonight
Speaker 1: as well. I think it's sixty nine and a half. Nice.
Speaker 1: George Kittle definitely going over his prop tonight as well.
Speaker 1: That's why you know, I think it's a good spot
Speaker 1: for Emmanuel Sanders as well. Sanders is low and wide
Speaker 1: receiver three. For me, he's like barely inside my top
Speaker 1: forty because again, I don't think that they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to throw the ball all that much. But he is
Speaker 1: matched up against Tremaine brock greg and according to PFF,
Speaker 1: that is the best matchup tonight for all of the
Speaker 1: forty nine is wide receivers. So I'm starting to talk
Speaker 1: myself into all right, Garoppolo, if we like Kittle and
Speaker 1: if we think Sanders has a solid game, then we
Speaker 1: kind of have to like Garoppolo, Right, I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to figure out Garoppolo versus Kyler Murray tonight, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people might have that decision for themselves if
Speaker 1: they're playing the show down. So as of now, I
Speaker 1: do have Garoppolo ranked tire. You know how you shout
Speaker 1: out of Slate tonight, right, you start like Zack Xander
Speaker 1: Alpha More, it's gonna be one of those of those
Speaker 1: crazy It's gonna be Tolin Drew. If you're listening, that's
Speaker 1: how you're gonna win on under grands. And actually he
Speaker 1: should be telling us how to do it because he's
Speaker 1: been doing very good at it. You're not Pego Samuel
Speaker 1: Rushi touchdown something crazy like that. Greg. I like the
Speaker 1: under tonight, and I'm not getting the way. I'm not
Speaker 1: getting in the way of the San Francisco for the night.
Speaker 1: If I had to choose, I'm laying the points. I
Speaker 1: like the under boarding. The side that Tevin Coleman problem

Speaker 1: This is sports gride. Get all the grid. So what
Speaker 1: did that happen? What did happens? Here's what you missed
Speaker 1: on the BFPS. Two laptops, one laptop with the research,
Speaker 1: one laptop I'm in putting the research the phone. We're
Speaker 1: watching the Knicks on the phone, the TV. We've got
Speaker 1: the World Series on the TV. So Wednesday's a lot
Speaker 1: going on. I did not get to watch any wrestling,
Speaker 1: so probably catch up on some a e W this weekend.
Speaker 1: Watched an XT this morning before he came to work
Speaker 1: because I'm time to watching wrestling last night, even watching
Speaker 1: the NBA, I was watching the World Series. Um, Steph
Speaker 1: Curry tough break. Literally I wanted to bring out the
Speaker 1: World Series cause I heard Gabe go off this morning
Speaker 1: about um about a j Hanen out of blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: and like, Alex, you gonta test this dude? Like you
Speaker 1: were there, Like I don't really care that everyone could
Speaker 1: have their takes and that's finally I don't get involved
Speaker 1: in people's takes. But this take was so bad, man, Brian,
Speaker 1: you were there too, Like it was so bad these takes.
Speaker 1: Analytics lose because astroids lost. The Nationals are old school,
Speaker 1: Like what, yeah, you're telling me the Nationals don't use
Speaker 1: analytics either. It was just like, you know what, because
Speaker 1: Adam heat he had am eating. He doesn't try to
Speaker 1: hit the home run or cares about a launch angle.
Speaker 1: He just hit a clean save up the middle. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, who said that game? Like what? We should
Speaker 1: probably set him up with John Sterling. They can go
Speaker 1: hang out. Don't meant that a huge hit. Don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong with like analytics. That is so John Sterling though,
Speaker 1: r because John Sterling will will always call out well,
Speaker 1: if the shift wasn't in play, the Yankees would have
Speaker 1: had that one. But he doesn't call out all the
Speaker 1: times that the Yankees get out because they have players
Speaker 1: in the shift. Right, here's the thing. So, here's the
Speaker 1: thing about last night, and I want obviously, I'll watched
Speaker 1: the whole game last night. I don't really have a problem.
Speaker 1: I only have a problem one thing that Ajia hinged
Speaker 1: it last night. Truly had no issue personally pulling Grinky.
Speaker 1: When he did it eighty pitches, he walked the borderline walk.
Speaker 1: I get it allowed the solo home run because I
Speaker 1: was an egregious call to So here's what happens. Right,
Speaker 1: Let's say he doesn't pull Grinky. Next batter single walks.
Speaker 1: Now it's two on, next batters up. Now you're pulling
Speaker 1: Drinky right now, there's no question you're pulling Grinky. But
Speaker 1: you put Will Harris in a better spot. And maybe
Speaker 1: Will Harris wasn't the guy. He was tired, fine, but
Speaker 1: he's been your guy all postseason. And you don't want
Speaker 1: to bring a Garrett Cole or different starter in in
Speaker 1: that moment in the middle of man. You don't want
Speaker 1: to do it. You're bringing the guy, that's been the best.
Speaker 1: And if you want to make the case that Joe
Speaker 1: Buck did last night, it was like, hey, this is
Speaker 1: when you bring in Robodo, So okay with that. That's
Speaker 1: a fair critique, But no issue of pulling Grinky when
Speaker 1: he did. My issue with Hinge the only issue I had.
Speaker 1: Vases are loaded. Now the season is on the line, right,
Speaker 1: you're down, so you gotta keep it where it is
Speaker 1: at two runs. You don't bring the hosie your kittie
Speaker 1: when you have sitting there now you can't do. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I either would have left granky and personally or I
Speaker 1: would have rather them go to Garrit Cole right like
Speaker 1: super frustrated after the game, you know, putting on his
Speaker 1: Scott Boris hat. I'm no longer employed by the Houston Natros.
Speaker 1: Looking good for the New york Y, I must say
Speaker 1: so myself. But yeah, Garrett Coles should have ended up
Speaker 1: in that game last night. He was ready to go
