Speaker 1: I am Greg soumangg. That's going on, Bundy, Greg. We
Speaker 1: have a great game tonight between the Vikings and ram excellent.
Speaker 1: What should be a great game. Perhaps a preview of
Speaker 1: the NFC Hunference Championship we'll be talking about later on
Speaker 1: this potentially, do Greg, can we get a Kavanaugh update?
Speaker 1: Do you actually like havinga d Yeah? Okay, it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what's going on in the Kavanaugh case. All right,
Speaker 1: onto football Greg, how's everything going. It's just trial? How long?
Speaker 1: How long did you was not a trial either? A
Speaker 1: right hearing. Yeah, I'm gonna Things are good, man, Things
Speaker 1: are good. Thanks for the socks, by the way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're welcome to a nice dress shock. Nice dress socks.
Speaker 1: Here you go, some dress socks. My man, Gregg, he
Speaker 1: hooked me up. He got black. He didn't hook me
Speaker 1: up with his his foot locker look up, um, but
Speaker 1: he did with some dress socks. Also, Greg, I thought
Speaker 1: I would let you know that I'm using a new
Speaker 1: hair product. Hey, what do you think it like? The
Speaker 1: hair looks more shiny, but like it's still there's just
Speaker 1: too much of it. I'm gonna just shave my head. Hey,
Speaker 1: that's gonna come soon. I'm just gonna shave my head.
Speaker 1: I can't do this. So oh wow, I didn't even
Speaker 1: see this. What's something on the run down? Let me
Speaker 1: get to something on the run down? Yankees? See nothing
Speaker 1: with the Yankees? No, No, what is it? Ja happ
Speaker 1: j Happ, Lancelin and Luis Severino are starting in Boston
Speaker 1: this weekend, which means you're wild Games wild Card game starter.
Speaker 1: He's out of cc Sabathia or Massa, Hero, Tanaka or
Speaker 1: Jap one of those three guys started, which means it
Speaker 1: will not be Louis Severino. Wow, that's interesting. Well, I
Speaker 1: know this is the Football Show, but that that's a
Speaker 1: little unexpected, isn't it? Both Cashman? It could be Jap still,
Speaker 1: but I know some people have thrown out Tanaka that
Speaker 1: they be the guy. Both Cashman and Aaron Boone in
Speaker 1: the catd that it's gonna be a majority bullpen game essentially, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get David Robertson for another three innings. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I And honestly, I think you're hoping that
Speaker 1: the starter makes it like your opener essentially makes it
Speaker 1: three innings. I think that's like they want. I think ideally,
Speaker 1: if you get through the lineup twice, that's probably what
Speaker 1: they want. I think, so digree with that. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I do disagree. I think you have a little lot
Speaker 1: of ones. They're pubems seriously alright, because you get to
Speaker 1: do the line up twice, that's six innings. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're throwing a perfect game, yeah, which you want?
Speaker 1: You want? You want three innings whatever at whatever that is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the inche of different today. How about some football updates, Greg,
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Ramsey Vikings tonight. As you said, it
Speaker 1: could be a preview of the NFC Championship game. The
Speaker 1: Ramsey best offense in the NFL. The spar Viking is
Speaker 1: a very surprising loss to Buffalo, and in all honesty, Frankie,
Speaker 1: the spread reflects that. Right. It is a seven and
Speaker 1: a half point game right now, so a lot of points,
Speaker 1: a lot of points. Yeah, the Rams are laying seven
Speaker 1: as of right now. I think it opened at seven
Speaker 1: and a half, It went down as far as six
Speaker 1: and a half at one point, and now we're back
Speaker 1: up to seven. So I actually agree with Carton said
Speaker 1: towards the end of the show. If you wanted to
Speaker 1: get in on it, I think you buy the hook
Speaker 1: there a plus seven and a half um. But I
Speaker 1: think this game is closer than people realize. Look, the
Speaker 1: Rams are three and oh both on the season straight
Speaker 1: up and against the spread. The Vikings are one one
Speaker 1: and one and they're one and two against the spread.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think this spread for tonight's game is
Speaker 1: very reflective of last week and the Vikings just he's
Speaker 1: crapping the bed, to be honest, against the Buffalo Bills
Speaker 1: in a game that they were favored by like sixteen
Speaker 1: or seventeen points, whatever it was towards the end. Uh.
Speaker 1: There the problem that I have right when looking at trends.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of a lot of betting people
Speaker 1: like to look at trends, like historical trends, like whenever
Speaker 1: the Rams, like the Rams on a three game winning
Speaker 1: treat what like things change, Like even the thing even
Speaker 1: the numbers that we have, the statistical trends that we
Speaker 1: have this season with the Los Angeles Rams, as good
Speaker 1: as their defense has been, I think they're like bottom
Speaker 1: five and like total yards allowed to get out of
Speaker 1: here bottom five and totally yards allowed, Like they're missing
Speaker 1: two of their best defensive pieces tonight. So like we
Speaker 1: can't really use the stats that we have this year.
Speaker 1: We kind of need to project forward. Keep to Leave
Speaker 1: is definitely not gonna play. They're saying Marcus Peters is
Speaker 1: still questionable, but I don't think he's going to play either.
Speaker 1: What worries me most is the fact that Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: and the Vikings offensive line got demolished by the Bills
Speaker 1: last week, and now they're going up against a top
Speaker 1: two defensive line tonight maybe the best. I mean, the
Speaker 1: Bears are obviously in that discussion as well, but with
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald and Dominican Sue coming at you against the
Speaker 1: Vikings offensive line, which has not been good, I will
Speaker 1: say they might be better tonight because they're expected to
Speaker 1: get Pat Flyn back, their center, who has not played
Speaker 1: in a game yet this year, and they could certainly
Speaker 1: use him. But I do think of the Vikings are
Speaker 1: gonna shot this up tonight. I mean, they were just
Speaker 1: a joke defensively. They were joked all around, and I
Speaker 1: think Mike Zimmer is a better head coach in that,
Speaker 1: and I think they right the ship. I don't really
Speaker 1: have a lean on the total, to be honest, like
Speaker 1: four year and a half, but I do like the
Speaker 1: Vikings to I'm gonna tell this would be a thousand
Speaker 1: times better than where this past Sunday, like a thousand times.
Speaker 1: Don't get embarrassed like that They're gett embarrassed by Buffalo.
Speaker 1: I'm quite sure that Mike Zimmer ran this team into
Speaker 1: the ground over the last day or two, and I
Speaker 1: think it's actually the perfect opportunity for the Vikings to
Speaker 1: get back on the horse. Four days later, right, I
Speaker 1: didn't have a week stew about this. This is four
Speaker 1: days ago, and they got embarrassed. And there is that
Speaker 1: mental part of the game where you got embarrassed by
Speaker 1: arguably the worst team in the NFL. I think they
Speaker 1: go out to l A. We're there now seven a
Speaker 1: half point dogs. We would have done this a week ago.
Speaker 1: You talk about a three point three point differential. He
Speaker 1: would have just been the home number. Gave him four
Speaker 1: and a half. Because of what happened this past Sunday.
Speaker 1: I don't personally think the Rams are seven and a
Speaker 1: half points better than the Vikings. I get it, it's home.
Speaker 1: I understand how great the Rams have looked. I think
Speaker 1: they come back out of earth a little bit. I
Speaker 1: really really like the Vikings tonight, really really like the Vikings. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm right there with you again. I think the total,
Speaker 1: it's an interesting number. I think totals are kind of
Speaker 1: hard on Thursday Night football because look at a short week.
Speaker 1: Defenses are usually banged up on the short week. And
Speaker 1: we even saw it like with the Bengals and the
Speaker 1: Ravens game two weeks ago, like everybody was hammering the
Speaker 1: under We looked at statistical trends and years past. I
Speaker 1: think stuff like that it's kind of thrown out the
Speaker 1: window for Thursday night football because anything can happen in
Speaker 1: these games. So I don't really have a strong lean
Speaker 1: on on the total, but I will say Daily Rodo
Speaker 1: their prop tools love Adam Feeland's night Greig with his
Speaker 1: prop at eight seven and a half yards, which is
Speaker 1: a lot. Lot. It is a lot. He's gone over
Speaker 1: a hundred yards each of the first three games in
Speaker 1: Daily Rodo has Adam Feeland projected for about like receiving yards.
Speaker 1: So um. They have this really cool tool for the
Speaker 1: under the prop bets where you can look at the
Speaker 1: biggest difference between what the Daily Rodo projection is and
Speaker 1: what the prop number is, and Adam Feeland has the
Speaker 1: biggest number tonight, so they like him a lot over
Speaker 1: where I love Stefon Diggs a lot tonight because he
Speaker 1: was not really involved this past Sunday. I think that's
Speaker 1: another thing they get corrected tonight. Um. I think both
Speaker 1: Diggs and Feeling have big nights without a key to
Speaker 1: leave about Marcus Peters on the other side, I think
Speaker 1: both could go off if Kirk Cousins has the time
Speaker 1: to throw. What do they think about Stefon Diggs tonight? Uh,
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs, his prop is at seventy two, so it's
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, that's a lot. So so the oddsmakers
Speaker 1: are expecting a bounce back from the Vikings wide receivers,
Speaker 1: and I think that's just a further indication that those
Speaker 1: cornerbacks are not gonna play. We know for short to
Speaker 1: leave isn't gonna play. But I think Vegas is certainly
Speaker 1: expecting that Marcus Peters is not going to play in
Speaker 1: this game either, So I agree with you. I think
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs and Adam Feeland could both be in for
Speaker 1: big games. I have Adam Feeling inside my top twelve.
Speaker 1: I have Stefon Diggs just out. I think I haven't
Speaker 1: met like wide receiver fifteen or sixteen. He's still a
Speaker 1: wide receiver too. But I think based on the target
Speaker 1: share that Adam Feeling is getting right now, you have
Speaker 1: to trust him more than Stefon Diggs. I think. So
Speaker 1: it's too and it's not just hard to share, right.
Speaker 1: It's like the game we're kind of expecting, which is
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams defensive line being as good as
Speaker 1: it is being as perocious as it is ever. Seeing
Speaker 1: what happened with Minnesota and Buffalo on Sunday, there's not
Speaker 1: gonna be as much time potentially for Kirk Cousins and
Speaker 1: throw the ball. So you're gonna throw it exactly. You're
Speaker 1: gonna throw it to your safety receiver, which is your
Speaker 1: slot receiver, you're tight end, which is how Kirk Um
Speaker 1: Kyle of Rude Ill pick up a ton towards the
Speaker 1: end of that game against Buffalo. So I think I
Speaker 1: think Theeland's probably the safer option. I could certainly cease
Speaker 1: to find things having a bigger game, but I think
Speaker 1: if you're looking for the safer option, it's Adam Land.
Speaker 1: I've got this question today between Jared Goff or Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 1: who do you like more? And I think it's really
Speaker 1: interesting to me personally. I still need Jared Goff just
Speaker 1: because the offense that he plays in the receivers that
Speaker 1: they have Robert Woods, Brandon cooks Um and Cooper Cup.
Speaker 1: And it's not a knock on the Vikings, but overall,
Speaker 1: the Rams offensive line is just better. Their offense is
Speaker 1: moving the ball more effectively. They have Todd Gurley, one
Speaker 1: of the best running backs in the game, so it's
Speaker 1: very close to me. I have Kirk. I have Jared
Speaker 1: Goff rank one spot higher than Kirk. I have him
Speaker 1: as my QB twelve, and I have Kirk Cousins as
Speaker 1: my QB thirteen, So I think both are viable. They're
Speaker 1: right there is like low end QB ones. But I
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you what you think if you had
Speaker 1: to choose one between Goff and Kirk Cousins tonight, because
Speaker 1: I've been getting that question. Yeah, that's really hard. I've
Speaker 1: gotten golf and Baker Mayfield as well. Um, people still
Speaker 1: take golf just because it's been so safe. I agree.
Speaker 1: I said my answer was golf there. I think Govin
Speaker 1: kirk Cousins really is really really hard. I think I'm
Speaker 1: going golf just it's just at home. The weapons are there.
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna get up plenty of attempts um
Speaker 1: to pass the ball down field. Shan Skinny has just
Speaker 1: been fantastic over the first couple of weeks, so I
Speaker 1: would lean golf as well tonight. I also like Kyle
Speaker 1: Rudolf tonight as well. Yeah, I think I'll check it
Speaker 1: right now. I have him ranked as my fifth tight end,
Speaker 1: just because the Rams are allowing to four or six
Speaker 1: the eighth most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season.
Speaker 1: And we saw in week one against the Raiders they
Speaker 1: allow two hundred yards receiving. Last week against Antonio Gates,
Speaker 1: the the old Vet, the trusty Old. I mean he's
Speaker 1: basically like bag of dust at this point, a bag
Speaker 1: of dust, bag of dust, something like that bag of bones,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Um he had fifty one receiving yards
Speaker 1: as well. So I think Kyle Rudolph is in for
Speaker 1: a solid nights and night in half point PBR. Kyle Rudolph,
Speaker 1: who people were a little concerned about after the first
Speaker 1: week or two. He's pointed in week one he only
Speaker 1: had one two targets. One reception, of course, was for
Speaker 1: a touchdown. In week two seven or seventy two, a
Speaker 1: lot of that came in the fourth quarter and overtime.
Speaker 1: They pointed to that last week all garbage time five
Speaker 1: or forty eight and the touchdown. So whatever you want,
Speaker 1: call out Kylo Rudolph, whatever you want, stop five time
Speaker 1: end right now, literally exactly. So top five tight end
Speaker 1: and included also in there is Jared cook O J
Speaker 1: Howard who people still have question marks about and then
Speaker 1: you have Urthson Kelsey, So Kyle Rudolph exactly like, I
Speaker 1: don't care how it comes, Like I said that all
Speaker 1: the time Fantasy. It doesn't matter how it comes when
Speaker 1: it comes to a tight end, us a touchdown. Kyl
Speaker 1: Rodolf's giving you a touchdown two or three weeks he's
Speaker 1: been great and in the other game he give you
Speaker 1: what seven receiving n and you know, instead of being
Speaker 1: the guy who's chasing Will dis Lee and Austin who's
Speaker 1: McDonald every single week. This is why we were hammering
Speaker 1: guys like like Kyl Rodolph, like Jordan Reid, Jordan Reads
Speaker 1: getting it done to Jordan Reed is six seven, eight nine,
Speaker 1: he's in the tenth. He's tight end tend but that's
Speaker 1: where he was being drafted. Absolutely giving me a top
Speaker 1: tense tight end. I'm absolutely And Rob and you look
Speaker 1: at the tight ends right like ERNs Howard Cook, Kelsey, Fine,
Speaker 1: Jesse James and Will Dislier that we know what Jesse
Speaker 1: James did last week. Rob Gronkowski, Fine, Eric ebron this
Speaker 1: is the thing, right, Like you have Kylo Rodolf, you
Speaker 1: may get that one for eight outing we get a touchdown.
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen with every tight end. Kyli Rodolf is
Speaker 1: is really safe. I think, um, some of what we
Speaker 1: were concerned about going into the season a bit overblown.
Speaker 1: I'm very comfl with Kyli Rodolf tonight and going forward. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. Um. And we've seen that the Rams have
Speaker 1: struggled against tight ends, mostly because when they have those
Speaker 1: strong corn backs, the way you attack them is with
Speaker 1: the tight end against the linebacker against the safety. Play
Speaker 1: there of the Rams. But you know, maybe tonight with
Speaker 1: them with the corners being out, we see a little
Speaker 1: more targets to the wide receiver. But I still like
Speaker 1: HIF a lot. I think Dalvin Cook is going to
Speaker 1: be an interesting discussion obviously. Um. And did you include
Speaker 1: them four inside injuries? I don't think, I really, Greg,
Speaker 1: you hammered me last week or two weeks ago whatever,
Speaker 1: for whoever it was. I mean that was yeah, it
Speaker 1: didn't matter because he didn't play. It's probably not gonna
Speaker 1: play this week. You hammered me for that on a
Speaker 1: Thursday night game when people need to know about Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook and his availability. Terrible You didn't include him on
Speaker 1: the list of inside You know why we put the
Speaker 1: list together yesterday morning. I thought it was gonna either
Speaker 1: be very very clear he was playing or very very
Speaker 1: clear he wasn't. And it's unclear right in the middle.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately dr A only goes by the list. I
Speaker 1: don't blame him. The guy gets prepared for what he's
Speaker 1: prepared for him. Yeah, and you this one seems this
Speaker 1: one seems on me like I think Dalvin Cook, if
Speaker 1: he plays tonight, he's a solid RB two. I would
Speaker 1: say he's like in that believe I have him sixteenth
Speaker 1: or something because I still think he'll be limited to
Speaker 1: somewhat of a degree. But if he plays, they're going
Speaker 1: to use him like he's gonna get like fifteen sixteen
Speaker 1: touches for game. If he plays, are gonna use them
Speaker 1: that they're going to activate him to just send him
Speaker 1: on the bench. So so there's two loves of him
Speaker 1: at sixteen. He's right behind for net Lynch and Collins,
Speaker 1: right ahead of Lamar Miller, Kenyans Ray, Chris Carson. Does
Speaker 1: that sound okay? Sounds exactly right to me. You know,
Speaker 1: it's interesting when we talked about this last Friday, we
Speaker 1: were saying Dalvin Cook not gonna play this weekend, probably
Speaker 1: in preparation for this game one Thursday night. Bigger game
Speaker 1: would be the Bills with Adam. You don't need that
Speaker 1: last week? Did you see the quote where he was
Speaker 1: like he said the word definitely like five times in
Speaker 1: one since he's like, I'm definitely definitely, definitely definitely playing
Speaker 1: next week. Right, So there's two. There's two loves of
Speaker 1: thinking about it. Like I said, right, like you held
Speaker 1: him out that on Sunday for tonight, certainly possible. The
Speaker 1: other side as you hold him out tonight, he literally
Speaker 1: had like almost three weeks off for two and a
Speaker 1: half weeks off um before we had to play again,
Speaker 1: which is which is massive UM for a guy that
Speaker 1: the battle the knee injury last year UM, and had
Speaker 1: some recurring hamstring issues this year. So I'm gonna know
Speaker 1: who their next game. They both sides Philly. It's tough.
Speaker 1: That sucks. That's tough. That sucks. Yeah, um, speaking of injury,
Speaker 1: speaking of injury issues that somebody else will I don't
Speaker 1: think is on the list for Dr A No, It's okay,
Speaker 1: he's not. It's Aaron Rodgers. You knew Aaron Rodgers gonna
Speaker 1: play this Sunday. Um, but I just read from Iman
Speaker 1: Rappleport just came out on my Twitter that, um, Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers is practicing today, I believe limited to the interday's practice,
Speaker 1: which means this improvement. Right. He did not practice the
Speaker 1: last two weeks until Saturday, which is their Friday practice
Speaker 1: for the Packers. UM, So some improvement with Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: which hopefully will gain him a little bit more mobility
Speaker 1: this week against Buffalo defense that cleared that clearly, UM
Speaker 1: is better than we originally thought. Yeah, and I was
Speaker 1: hammering that for a while I thought this Buffalo Bills
Speaker 1: defense was still very good. I think they were being
Speaker 1: underappreciated their first couple of weeks just because they got
Speaker 1: blown out. I mean, look what you could say whatever
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, whether they weren't prepared or whatever it was.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, Vante Davis quitting on them at halftime,
Speaker 1: you know, gave him a kick in the caboose. But
Speaker 1: this defense is not as bad as they showed the
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks. And they're going to bring some
Speaker 1: pressure on Aaron Rodgers. I think that makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense because he doesn't have that normal mobility, UM
Speaker 1: that we see out of Aaron Rodgers. So that's another
Speaker 1: big line to the Packers are laying ten points at
Speaker 1: home right now gets the Buffalo Bills, So that's that's
Speaker 1: a lot of points. Yeah, I don't know if I
Speaker 1: would touch that one either way. Imagine going to Minnesota
Speaker 1: and then Green Bay and knocking off both shocked the world.
Speaker 1: Is this crazy? I'm starting Josh Allen in my Super
Speaker 1: Flex League over Blake Bortles this week were Vision Jets
Speaker 1: with the thirty eight and a half game total. No,
Speaker 1: I think I like it because if either the Bills
Speaker 1: getting down, he's four four net back for Jacksonville. We've
Speaker 1: seen in games that four net plays. Yeah, they typically
Speaker 1: run the ball. I'm cool with it. We'll take a
Speaker 1: break here. When we come back, we'll be joined by
Speaker 1: Dr A from Inside Injuries. The Good Doctor will join
Speaker 1: us and use the latest and all the injuries of
Speaker 1: the leagues. Look around more fs rats. Daily Rodo dot

Speaker 1: Lions defense. Hey, congrets, we're talking about the sistrue. I
Speaker 1: got them in my home league as well. This is
Speaker 1: gonna be the classic like le Town. Yeah, he picked
Speaker 1: up the Detroit Lions. They're going up against the poorest
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense. This is gonna be the week the Cowboys
Speaker 1: scored thirty. I also spent I spent a dollar on Broadway,
Speaker 1: Baker Broadway, Baker Baker Mania, running wild in Cleveland. What
Speaker 1: do you think? Sure? Cool? I like it. You're Dr Schniff.
Speaker 1: I'm back there dry inside injuries. What's going on? Man?
Speaker 1: Hey guys, how's that? How are you guys doing today?
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. We're doing absolutely fantastic. Um a lot
Speaker 1: of injuries talk about we're doing well. Why how are you, sir?
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. I'm doing great. Just you know, living
Speaker 1: the dream, right, yep, exactly exactly. Hey, doc, I want
Speaker 1: to start um in Cincinnati where A. J. Green practiced
Speaker 1: yesterday and we thought that the groin injury could linger
Speaker 1: a little bit freak and economy in a prediction of
Speaker 1: what you would say to this question, Um, but what's
Speaker 1: the deal with A J. Green? Yeah, so it looks
Speaker 1: like a what we call a blunt forced trauma type
Speaker 1: of injury. So he literally landed on the right side.
Speaker 1: It wasn't quite sure. It didn't look like there was
Speaker 1: any torque motion. So it looks like it's just bruising
Speaker 1: and sort of a soft tissue. That's why are our
Speaker 1: algorithm labeled it as a Grade one groin slash hip injury. Uh.
Speaker 1: It is a two week optimal overcover time, and my
Speaker 1: suggestion to A. J. Green and the Bengals is to
Speaker 1: take the full two weeks because of his injury past. Um,
Speaker 1: he was at peak health up to this point, but
Speaker 1: it took him a long time to get there in
Speaker 1: terms of our metrics. Now that he has this, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: it has really it's sort of almost like the you know,
Speaker 1: the straw that broke the camel's back. He has now
Speaker 1: immediately escalated to pent injury risks. So any he's may
Speaker 1: have been limited to the UH Wednesday in practice. If
Speaker 1: he does play this weekend, it is bad. It is
Speaker 1: a very bad sign in terms of I would stay
Speaker 1: away from him from a fantasy standpoint because he will
Speaker 1: still be at high injury risk. And Frank nailed it,
Speaker 1: and Greg, that's exactly what we said yesterday. That's literally
Speaker 1: exactly that I thought Doctor would have and I think
Speaker 1: it makes sense. I just worried that A. J. Green
Speaker 1: so much wants to play in this game because he
Speaker 1: went to Georgia University, because he's been compared to Julio
Speaker 1: Jones throughout, you know, his entire NFL career, being drafted
Speaker 1: in the same draft together going back to Atlanta, I
Speaker 1: think he really wants to get into this game, so
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna try his best to play. But
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Doc, I think there's a pretty
Speaker 1: good chance for him to re injure this big game. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it wouldn't be a segment with inside injuries
Speaker 1: if we didn't bring up Doug Baldwin to get a
Speaker 1: weekly update on Doug Baldwin, and we actually got some
Speaker 1: optimistic news yesterday that he returned to practice on a
Speaker 1: limited basis. Now, Doctor, let us let us know. Is
Speaker 1: he returning too soon? Um? Is he gonna be ready
Speaker 1: to play this week? If he plays, what is his
Speaker 1: chance for re injury within the game. What's the latest
Speaker 1: on Doug Balbin. Yeah, so you know he had right
Speaker 1: before the preseason, you had the what we are predicting
Speaker 1: was a meniscus tear. The team has not released that,
Speaker 1: but he missed all of preseason with it, and now
Speaker 1: he has an m c L we which we've labeled
Speaker 1: as a grade too. So from an m c L standpoint,
Speaker 1: it's not a grade three, so it's not torn. But
Speaker 1: combining both knee injuries with all the previous injuries he's had,
Speaker 1: you know, he was already elevated injury risk. It's pushed
Speaker 1: him now. He still remains at twenty eight percent injury
Speaker 1: risk and that's high. And his his HPF is literally
Speaker 1: below average still, so if he does start playing in
Speaker 1: the next four or five days, or even in the
Speaker 1: next seven or ten days, he will not have the
Speaker 1: right metrics to really be confident as a fantasy player. However,
Speaker 1: you know, week five is where we're seeing that he'll
Speaker 1: probably be at the best possible location from a metrics
Speaker 1: standpoint that he can be. His HPF probably will get
Speaker 1: to above average, and he'll be at elevated and above average.
Speaker 1: That's the best he's gonna do. If you ask me,
Speaker 1: I don't think Doug Baldwin plays this week. I know
Speaker 1: he's returned on a limited basis, but I'm just speaking
Speaker 1: from what I would imagine the Seahawks perspective is is
Speaker 1: that they're going up against the Cardinals. They probably don't
Speaker 1: need him, They're facing him what we did this last
Speaker 1: week withalpan Cook. It's very true, but yeah, I just
Speaker 1: don't think we five Baldwin. If I had to make
Speaker 1: a prediction, I would say he doesn't play this week,
Speaker 1: and he does return a week five. So I actually
Speaker 1: I think he does play this week. Um, I'm not
Speaker 1: saying he should. I agree with you, Doc, but I
Speaker 1: think he ultimately does play this week. Practicing on a Wednesday,
Speaker 1: and from what I was doing the research on Doug
Speaker 1: Baldwin yesterday, and I think they planned all along for
Speaker 1: this to be the week, um where they are wanting
Speaker 1: to get This is a game that they should win.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Fra, they probably don't need him
Speaker 1: to but ultimately it's a game they need to win,
Speaker 1: and I think they'll do whatever means necessary to make
Speaker 1: it happen. And I think you'll see Doug ball in
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, well I would. I would say
Speaker 1: in retrospect what we were saying right before a game one.
Speaker 1: We said Doug Baldwin should not play in week one
Speaker 1: because his metrics are not there. I think if they
Speaker 1: had waited to week two and gotten him to low
Speaker 1: injury risks, then boom, he could have played week two
Speaker 1: and maybe he would not have suffered this now second
Speaker 1: knee injury, which is the m c L. And that's that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I completely hear that. But this week sounds a lot
Speaker 1: like Week one with what dr As they bring him
Speaker 1: back too soon, then we're gonna get another two or
Speaker 1: three week absence, and I totally agree with that. And listen,
Speaker 1: it's been how desperate the Seahawks are. They were desperate
Speaker 1: in Week one they played him and didn't work out.
Speaker 1: Are they desperate enough in a week four? I think
Speaker 1: we'll say I'll lock it absolutely getting it done right now. Yes,
Speaker 1: indeed he is. Evan Ingram expected him. It's two to
Speaker 1: four weeks with a knee injury. I believe it's the
Speaker 1: same spring MCL that Dog Baldwin that I want the
Speaker 1: Giants and Giants fan to be cautious about how serious
Speaker 1: does it look for Evan Ingram? Okay, so it's a
Speaker 1: great two m c L so it's not torn again,
Speaker 1: it is it's a it's a mild to moderate sprain.
Speaker 1: So that's you know, that's good news for Evan Ingram.
Speaker 1: But you know, he was elevated and below average before
Speaker 1: um this injury. So you know, he we knew that
Speaker 1: he was at a higher risk to get this. Now
Speaker 1: he has moved into high injury risk and at health.
Speaker 1: So you know, right now this is a three week
Speaker 1: optimal recovery time and it's a healthy to return at
Speaker 1: week six. So we're kind of in line with what
Speaker 1: the giants are saying. Missing two to four weeks, it's
Speaker 1: probably going to be three UM, and you know, if
Speaker 1: he has any setbacks, it will probably be four and
Speaker 1: it'll be week seven. But the earliest we see that
Speaker 1: he should come back right now is week six. But
Speaker 1: his metrics are not going to be that great. When
Speaker 1: he comes back, he may be up to above average,
Speaker 1: but he will still be at elevated injury risk most likely,
Speaker 1: and so you know, Evan ingramoners to really consider that,
Speaker 1: right just from a giant's perspective. This week we said
Speaker 1: this the other day. In games where Evan Ingram misses,
Speaker 1: I think sting Shepherd instantly steps up as a high
Speaker 1: end wide receiver three, And especially in this week's matchup
Speaker 1: against the New Orleans Saints where they just lost their
Speaker 1: slot cornerback Patrick Robinson, he got placed on I R
Speaker 1: I like Sterling separate at the top twenty wide receiver.
Speaker 1: It might be aggressive, but I'm ranking him that way.
Speaker 1: He s been at a dollar Mike Yaller, Ray Alison.
Speaker 1: It depends how desperate you are. Obviously, if you were
Speaker 1: an Evan Ingram owner, there are a few other places
Speaker 1: I would look first. I would look at Um and Watson.
Speaker 1: I would look advance McDonald. But if guys like that
Speaker 1: are already gone, then yeah, Rrett Ellison's probably the next
Speaker 1: man up. And I would also say about Evan Ingram,
Speaker 1: don't forget he suffered a concussion in the preseason, right,
Speaker 1: so this is now a second injury. Concussions, especially the
Speaker 1: guys that catch the ball, are much more impactful than
Speaker 1: anything else. So Evan Ingram omer's owners, you know, should
Speaker 1: you know? I don't know if this is the best
Speaker 1: he's gonna get this season. It's it's possible. Doc, I
Speaker 1: asked you about Doug Baldwin earlier, I want to ask
Speaker 1: you about another wide receiver who's making his way back
Speaker 1: from injury, trying to return, and that's Alshon Jeffrey with
Speaker 1: the shoulder injury. Now he's been cleared for contact, and
Speaker 1: I don't personally, I don't know what that means. Does
Speaker 1: that mean he's going to play this week? Does that
Speaker 1: mean he's practicing? Because I feel like a lot of
Speaker 1: fantasy owners are getting excited over this, over the possibility
Speaker 1: of Alshon Jeffrey playing this week just because he's cleared
Speaker 1: for contact. Does that mean we see him in week four?
Speaker 1: Or is this another case like Doug baldin ware they
Speaker 1: should rest him until he's fully ready to go and
Speaker 1: then it's more likely we see him in week five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So cleared for contact does not mean that he's going
Speaker 1: to start. I mean, it basically means that now guys
Speaker 1: in practice can tackle him, you know, and so you know, uh,
Speaker 1: and so he's nowhere near um in terms of this week,
Speaker 1: you know, saying that you know he's going to be
Speaker 1: ready to play in the game. What we're what we're
Speaker 1: looking at, you know, and and just to reiterate, we
Speaker 1: talked about Alshan Jeffrey all the time, and this guy
Speaker 1: had a completely torn rotator cough, you know, and so
Speaker 1: it is so hard to come back from this injury
Speaker 1: and so finally being cleared for contact, and it's the
Speaker 1: right time to clear him for contact. That he's at
Speaker 1: peak health right now, um, according to our metrics, but
Speaker 1: he's at elevated injury risk. At This is a high risk,
Speaker 1: high reward kind of guy. So if he's up against
Speaker 1: the defense, um, you know, if if he's up against
Speaker 1: a m a defense that is very weak, you may
Speaker 1: want to put him in your lineup because but he
Speaker 1: is a high risk, high reward type of guy. Week
Speaker 1: four right now is where we're considering his optimal recovery
Speaker 1: time way back in the day was thirty weeks. So
Speaker 1: week four now is the culmination of those thirty weeks.
Speaker 1: We're talking to Dr A from inside Injuries. The Eagles
Speaker 1: having smartly and rightfully so cautious what it comes to
Speaker 1: Alsian Jeffrey completely tearing that rotator cuff um and looks
Speaker 1: like when they get him back, he'll be ready to go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and his value is directly tied two guys like um
Speaker 1: Nelson and even Dallas got herd. You asked me about
Speaker 1: Red Allison. If Alshon Jeffrey doesn't go, I like Dallas
Speaker 1: more than him this week as well. We saw last
Speaker 1: week when Alshon Jeffrey was still out, they really employed
Speaker 1: the two tight end sets, definitely Zach Earth and Dallas Goddard,
Speaker 1: and he was targeted seven times in that game. They
Speaker 1: used them a lot, and he actually scored a touchdown.
Speaker 1: So if Alson Jeffrey is a no go, I like
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard more so than I do Read Ellison. If
Speaker 1: you're streaming the tight end I completely agree with. And
Speaker 1: one of the things that will tell you about Alshean
Speaker 1: Jeffrey is that because he's been away and absent for
Speaker 1: so long, I mean, the Eagles are not going to
Speaker 1: throw him in and do like you know out He
Speaker 1: may play limited snaps. He may just because he's starting
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's going full fled. So you know, owners
Speaker 1: need to know that. You know, if he's not on
Speaker 1: the field half the time, it doesn't help them as well.
Speaker 1: It's a great point too, He's definitely not gonna play
Speaker 1: his normal percentage of snaps right out of the game.
Speaker 1: He's not ready. This is his preseason. Even if he
Speaker 1: plays this week, you can't start. I don't think he's playing.
Speaker 1: He's probably around like which might be twenty plays. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that makes sense. We talked about Evan Ingroom
Speaker 1: and Dallas Goddard you mentioned and with the only tight ends,
Speaker 1: and that brings me to Jack Doyle, who not a
Speaker 1: missing practice last Friday. Eric Ebron was a popular DFS play.
Speaker 1: He got it going garbage a little bit. The receptions
Speaker 1: were there, obviously, the yordage was not dropped. A couple
Speaker 1: of touchdowns and penalties and whatnot. Um, how serious is
Speaker 1: injury to Jack Doyle? What's the latest on him? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a great two hip injury, so, um,
Speaker 1: it's not it's not a soft tissue or one. It
Speaker 1: is a two and it's but it's not a three
Speaker 1: or four. So he's right in the middle. The problem
Speaker 1: with is that it's a hip injury on tight ends
Speaker 1: and those things are just like concussions, can be significantly
Speaker 1: impactful specifically to these guys. Just is what our data
Speaker 1: algorithm is showing. So you know, our algorithm is well
Speaker 1: piste off at Jack Doyle because it. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: we we had him at low injury risk and peak
Speaker 1: health you know, before this injury. Um, but uh um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of a little bit of a conundrum.
Speaker 1: But now that we know that, we are pretty sure
Speaker 1: that he has a great two hip injury um h
Speaker 1: h g R is week five. That means he'll be
Speaker 1: back week five, most like that's when he should be back.
Speaker 1: And um, he's at high injury risk at We do
Speaker 1: not like the word hip injury for tight ends. And
Speaker 1: so when he does come back, you know, it's still
Speaker 1: going to be not at low injury risk, he'll be
Speaker 1: at elevated injury risk and below to above average. You
Speaker 1: know this, This hip injury is pretty debilitating throughout the
Speaker 1: season for tight ends. And I think any game that
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle miss is obviously Eric Ebron is a top
Speaker 1: ten tight end. He currently ranks as tight end nine.
Speaker 1: We spoke about him a little bit earlier, Greg, So
Speaker 1: if Jack Doyle misses this week again, Eric Ebron looks
Speaker 1: like a tight end one. Doc. I wanted to ask
Speaker 1: you about two running backs playing in the same game
Speaker 1: this week, a game that we really like. It's actually
Speaker 1: the Falcons against the Cincinnati Bengals with a fifty one
Speaker 1: game total, so Vegas is expecting a lot of points
Speaker 1: in this one. But obviously Joe Mixon and DeVonta Freeman,
Speaker 1: they're availability instantly affects guys like Geo Bernard and Tevin Coleblan,
Speaker 1: guys who we have ranked very highly this week as
Speaker 1: RB ones. So what's the latest on both of those guys.
Speaker 1: I know DeVonta Freeman didn't practice yesterday. It looks like
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon didn't practice today. Is this another week where
Speaker 1: both of those running backs are sitting out. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: no reason for them to be in the game. I mean,
Speaker 1: they need to sit out. We have DeVante Freeman at
Speaker 1: week five, and we have Joe Mixon all the way
Speaker 1: to week eight, and so, um, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: think that, Uh, if we do see them start in
Speaker 1: the game, that's a very very that's not that's not
Speaker 1: a good decision. But um, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: remember Devonte Freeman has multitude of injuries and concussions, and
Speaker 1: he was injured in week one, and so he's at
Speaker 1: thirty one percent injury risk right now, he's all the
Speaker 1: way down to thirty eight percent and um, you know
Speaker 1: had health. So it's just not not a good thing
Speaker 1: in Joe Mixon. You know, he just went he just
Speaker 1: underwent knee surgery last week, and he had there was
Speaker 1: a bunch of loose particles that they had to remove.
Speaker 1: They had to train in meniscus because of his miniscus there.
Speaker 1: So it was a great three knee injury. And and
Speaker 1: there's no I mean, I know the team gave him
Speaker 1: a two to four week recovery time. That is. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's games been shipped or not, but
Speaker 1: there's no way a great three knee injury is gonna
Speaker 1: have a two to four week recovery time. It is
Speaker 1: a six week minimum. And that's why we have him
Speaker 1: at HTR week eight, right, And I know that might
Speaker 1: scare some people who listening, and obviously like what Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon was doing early on in the season, you want
Speaker 1: him to come back, definitely. As a fantasy owner, you
Speaker 1: almost rather the Bengals take a cautious approach and just
Speaker 1: rest him until he's completely healthy so that you can
Speaker 1: have Joe Mixon from week I mean whenever we get
Speaker 1: him back, whether it's six, seven, eight, I know eight
Speaker 1: is the optimal recovery time according to Inside Injuries. But
Speaker 1: you want him to be fully healthy once he returns
Speaker 1: and not for the Bengals to rush him back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you absolutely, because you want to have the same guy
Speaker 1: that was on the field week one that you were
Speaker 1: excited about in particularly Week two. Uh, and not a
Speaker 1: guy that we have shelled himself and not not running
Speaker 1: scared but running a bit um not the lad running
Speaker 1: a bit as it's in prohibited. I guess is has
Speaker 1: hesitants a really good word too. So that's what you
Speaker 1: need from Joe Mixon. Speaking of young running back Sonny
Speaker 1: Michelle is the starting running back now in New England
Speaker 1: as Rex Burkhead hits the i R with a neck injury.
Speaker 1: How serious is his neck injury is? Is there a
Speaker 1: chance that he's back later this season? What is what
Speaker 1: are you reading and seeing and hearing when it comes
Speaker 1: to Rex Burkhead? Yeah? You see you guys see me
Speaker 1: shaking my head, right. So, I mean we've talked about
Speaker 1: this all the time with the Rex Burkhead. I mean
Speaker 1: he was high injury risk before the season. We knew
Speaker 1: that it was just a matter of time, you know,
Speaker 1: our high injury risk in the preseason means that there
Speaker 1: is a chance of injury in the first four or
Speaker 1: five games, and and a pretty significant one in this
Speaker 1: The fact that they put him on I R can
Speaker 1: only mean one of a couple of things. Um that
Speaker 1: he has a very subtle or small fracture in his neck,
Speaker 1: or he has a discarniation of some sort like that.
Speaker 1: I mean that that is the only thing that would
Speaker 1: really significantly put you know, a guy on I R
Speaker 1: like this right away. The team is obviously not coming
Speaker 1: out with it. But he was high before, he's high now,
Speaker 1: I mean he's he you know, I think this is
Speaker 1: I don't know if we'll see him back this season. Um,
Speaker 1: that's why I mean, are we have week thirteen right
Speaker 1: now potentially? Well? Is that is that is that eight week? More?
Speaker 1: That is that eight week mar whre Riskburg can come
Speaker 1: back potentially, So you get him for the player front
Speaker 1: A get it, you're gonna you're gonna drop the Obviously
Speaker 1: he's not I run list if you haven't, or you
Speaker 1: have my rs, but your stash him there. Um, but
Speaker 1: I would counter wrest brokehead at all ten weeks by
Speaker 1: the way, it's ten weeks, yeah, yeah, ten weeks excuse me, sorry,
Speaker 1: ten weeks away, um, which allows him to come off
Speaker 1: the I r S. Think you with New England here, Frankie.
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon acquired last week by the Patriots did not
Speaker 1: play either due to not knowing the playbook well enough
Speaker 1: or that hamstring injury. What's the latest on Josh Gordon
Speaker 1: from a health perspective? Okay, so um, the very fact
Speaker 1: that he has been off the field for so long
Speaker 1: that he had no injuries. So even this minor it's
Speaker 1: a very minor hamstring tweak. Um it it's only two
Speaker 1: weeks um right now, week four, um is what we're
Speaker 1: showing that he should be back. But it didn't really
Speaker 1: affect his numbers too much. Um, he's still he's he
Speaker 1: almost pushed him into elevated uh injury risk and he's
Speaker 1: at the border of low and elevated. So another week
Speaker 1: of rest and boom he'll be back to low and peak.
Speaker 1: Basically week four dry real quick. We only have a
Speaker 1: and it left Marcus Mariota. We know he's been dealing
Speaker 1: with the nerve issue. They've already confirmed that he will
Speaker 1: start in week four. Is that a smart decision by
Speaker 1: the Tennessee titles. You know, I don't know if they
Speaker 1: have any other decision though, you know, with what happened
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbett right, so um, whether it's smart or not,
Speaker 1: it's just I don't think they have a choice. The
Speaker 1: issue with Marcus Mariota is the fact that this sounds
Speaker 1: like cubital tunnel syndrome. And what that is is the
Speaker 1: allnern nerve passes through the elbow and they're spurring right
Speaker 1: around that area, so it keeps rubbing up against those spurs,
Speaker 1: and so that's what this sounds like. And if that's
Speaker 1: the case, he has to be operated on to release
Speaker 1: and open that space up, which is a six to
Speaker 1: eight week recovery. So I don't think they can afford
Speaker 1: to lose him for eight games. And so you know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna try to inject that area, could become pain free,
Speaker 1: keep the inflammation down, and keep throwing it. But a
Speaker 1: whole game of throwing will affect an impact. And I
Speaker 1: don't know he appreciated. Doctor, you go, dr A from
Speaker 1: inside injuries. We appreciate it. We're back here after this.

Speaker 1: we'll take your car. It's fair, Frase being very specific
Speaker 1: about the calls, and I knew that. That's why I
Speaker 1: asked yesterday we want to trade questions. We got like
Speaker 1: a star sit Oh, we're calling when day started, sit
Speaker 1: is kind of hard interesting, So we're calling up more
Speaker 1: and more prepared? Are we calling the high five? You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to go to the king for I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't name your own. It's like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you five players, and I'm hired on
Speaker 1: than the rest of people. I mean, if you want it,
Speaker 1: what should we call it? Frank's five, the Fab five? Probably?
Speaker 1: I was thinking the friendly five BF type of friendly five.
Speaker 1: It's not bad, I can I could run that by Scott.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he won't have any issues with it. Best
Speaker 1: friendly five, best friendly. It might be a little bit
Speaker 1: best friendly fives BF. Yeah, I like that. Frank's that's
Speaker 1: why you're in charge. That's why you're an executive. Greg, Oh,
Speaker 1: stop freaking. I had a conversation yesterday. Frank hates executives
Speaker 1: being or having all executives. Oh yeah, No, I'm not
Speaker 1: built for this kind of thing. Now. You you are
Speaker 1: very much so built for you think so yes, you
Speaker 1: know that's like you're doing a good job or like
Speaker 1: you're I mean you're doing that, you are doing a
Speaker 1: good job. I can openly say that you are more
Speaker 1: executive worthy than I am, because you can tell people
Speaker 1: like it is right, like you you have backbone. I'm
Speaker 1: not like I'll look at someone doing something wrong and
Speaker 1: be like, hey, look man, like give you like a
Speaker 1: pad on the bag. You probably shouldn't be doing this
Speaker 1: like this. So a lot of times somethings like dude,
Speaker 1: what the heck are you doing? You need to do
Speaker 1: it like this. I don't think. I don't think I
Speaker 1: react like that. I think I'm pretty close. Um. I
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of times where there's something that
Speaker 1: has to happen and Franks has his headphones on. I'm
Speaker 1: pretending he's not listening all the time, and he thinks
Speaker 1: I think there's sound playing, but I see that he's
Speaker 1: on Twitter and there's not anything anything. So sometimes I'm
Speaker 1: listening to things on Twitter more like he's just the
Speaker 1: conversations against the machine. Likely it's just a conversation in
Speaker 1: the room that you're listening to. You no, or you know,
Speaker 1: I'll here's something that happens, and then quickly opened up
Speaker 1: premier like oh no, editing, sorry, Frank's best friendly five's
Speaker 1: up right now over at Rohado experts dot com. I'll
Speaker 1: start at the quarterbacks. We talked it's a bit downstairs
Speaker 1: before the show began. You Annie Dalton inside your top
Speaker 1: five is significantly higher than the consensus. You believe he's
Speaker 1: better than Aaron Rodgers this week, better than Big Bad,
Speaker 1: better than Tom Brady and DeShawn Watson. What makes you
Speaker 1: like any Daltons so much? Yeah? This is really really aggressive, Greg,
Speaker 1: and I told with it last night. I'm like, do
Speaker 1: you have them too high? But then I just stuck
Speaker 1: to my guns. Look, we we like to We like
Speaker 1: this matchup a lot. This week. The game total again
Speaker 1: fifty one points. It's tied for the second highest total
Speaker 1: this week. Um And look the Falcons defense. Since they've
Speaker 1: lost Kian O'Neil and Dion Jones and now they've lost
Speaker 1: Ricardo Allen as well, they're starting free safety. They have
Speaker 1: not been good the last two weeks. They've allowed at
Speaker 1: least three hundred and thirty five passing yards and three
Speaker 1: bunch sounds in each game. Greg three five passing yards
Speaker 1: to Cam Newton. There's a guy who typically throws for
Speaker 1: less than two hundred. He threw for nearly three and
Speaker 1: for fifty yards against the Falcons defense. And then we
Speaker 1: saw Drew Brees did last week. You threw for even
Speaker 1: more than that. He threw for three touchdowns. He rushed
Speaker 1: for two more. We know that Andy Dalton has the
Speaker 1: ability to rush to football as well make plays with
Speaker 1: his legs. Um, he can score touchdowns too. So I
Speaker 1: just think there's a lot of points scored in this game.
Speaker 1: I think the Falcons defense is just reeling right now,
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna go back and forth. I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna get a lot of points in this game.
Speaker 1: I could see performance three yards and and three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: I can I can certainly see that in the Roman
Speaker 1: possibility for Andy Dalton in Week four. That's why I
Speaker 1: haven't ranked so high. You know, it's interesting I was.
Speaker 1: I said to you, I think during the break that, um,
Speaker 1: it was a sign between Ryan It's Patrick, Andrew Look
Speaker 1: and Baker Mayfield this week and you, Ryan, It's Patrick
Speaker 1: actually inside your top tens at number ten because Sensus
Speaker 1: rankings over did you to me? Ryan Fitzpatrick is one
Speaker 1: of the hardest players to rank this week because on
Speaker 1: one hand, you want to say, let's just ride him
Speaker 1: always hot, right, like, let me just continue to rank
Speaker 1: him highly and the wheels fall off the bus. So
Speaker 1: the thing is, you know, at some point it's just
Speaker 1: gonna all crumble. It is all gonna crumble, and what
Speaker 1: better place for it to crumble than on the road
Speaker 1: in Chica, in Chicago with this Buck's offensive line not
Speaker 1: very good. We saw the Steelers get a ton of
Speaker 1: pressure last week. And what happened when they got pressure?
Speaker 1: He threw termorble throws. He had three interceptions what honestly
Speaker 1: could have been four five interceptions. Yes, and that is
Speaker 1: all true. However, he was still a gun slinger and
Speaker 1: throwing and throwing and throwing a huge fantasy nights, scoring
Speaker 1: a lot of points. And for the Bucks have to
Speaker 1: go back and forth at good point. That's a good point,
Speaker 1: drop right, the wheels falling off like I dropped. I
Speaker 1: dropped down to seventeen. Down to seven might be too much,
Speaker 1: but I just really liked the matchups for guys like
Speaker 1: Eli Manning going up against New Orleans. The Saints are
Speaker 1: lying the most fantasy points to quarterbacks this year, and
Speaker 1: I tweeted out earlier in the week Drink that the
Speaker 1: last two times that Eli Manning has faced the Saints,
Speaker 1: he's thrown for at least three hundred and fifty yards.
Speaker 1: One of those games he threw for zero touchdowns and
Speaker 1: zero interceptions. The other game he threw for six touchdowns
Speaker 1: and zero interceptions. So you know he's gonna throw the
Speaker 1: ball at least forty times. He's gonna give you over
Speaker 1: three hundred yards. And you have to imagine if he's
Speaker 1: throwing the ball that much, he's gonna at least have
Speaker 1: you know, one or two touchdowns, maybe be a few picks,
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of points scored there against the Patriots. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna get into You have Eli fifteen right now.
Speaker 1: I guess he's moving U because Fitzpatrick's dwags. You have
Speaker 1: Eli at fourteen, Tannehill at fifteen, and those are two
Speaker 1: guys that are really constreamers for this week. Um. In
Speaker 1: my situation personally, when you get to your calls in
Speaker 1: just a second, my situation personally, I have Andrew Luck.
Speaker 1: I picked the baker Mayfield for this week. You have
Speaker 1: both Mayfield and Luck behind those guys Manning and Tannehill
Speaker 1: this week. Mayfield since at nineteen looks it's at twenty one. Um,
Speaker 1: how come I guess Andrew Luck is so low at
Speaker 1: one UM to a Houston defense. Just a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of yards, a really good game from Eli Manning,
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people are feeling low
Speaker 1: Baker this week. How come you're not? I like Baker,
Speaker 1: and I think ranking him at nineteen is not a
Speaker 1: bad ranking. I still kind of want to see him
Speaker 1: go out and do it. I don't think the Raiders
Speaker 1: defense is great by any means, but it's just the
Speaker 1: guys that I have ranked just ahead of him. I
Speaker 1: like those matchups more. Plus we've seen those guys do
Speaker 1: it before. Again, this is Baker Mayfield's first start on
Speaker 1: the road, and again I like him for the season long.
Speaker 1: I just like these guys more for their Week four
Speaker 1: matchup again, Eli against the Saints, a lot of points
Speaker 1: scored there. Tannehill against the Patriots. Their secondary has looked
Speaker 1: absolutely brutal Vegas. I was expecting a lot of points there.
Speaker 1: Plus the Dolphins could be playing from behind Um and
Speaker 1: in case Keenum going up against the Chiefs defense. The
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense makes every single offense look good. Their their
Speaker 1: secondary is just not good. And this game is actually
Speaker 1: at home in Denver, so I think it's a little
Speaker 1: bit more of a competitive game. Uh So for those reasons,
Speaker 1: I like those guys more than Baker. It's not a
Speaker 1: matter of me not liking Baker. I just like those
Speaker 1: guys more than him. A week before and Andrew Luck,
Speaker 1: I'm just overall worried. Five point one yards per a
Speaker 1: tenth on the year, that's by far the lowest of
Speaker 1: his career. Said that he can make all the throws,
Speaker 1: yet they took him out of the game late last
Speaker 1: week for Jacoby Brusett. So look, if Andrew Luk burns
Speaker 1: me this week, I'm completely fine with that happening. Like
Speaker 1: if he if he's on my bench and he goes off,
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that happening. Because is what has Andrew
Speaker 1: Luck done to this point to inspire confidence in him?
Speaker 1: There's nothing, no, he hasn't And I get it, man,
Speaker 1: I completely get it. For four eight, four, three, six,
Speaker 1: seven nine. Let me go to Nathan in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Nathan? Thanks for yeah? Oh you hear you?
Speaker 1: What's up? Man? Alright? So I got a few lot
Speaker 1: of questions for this week. Uh First, on the running
Speaker 1: phos running back position. I have one of my teams
Speaker 1: that have Sony Michelle and Corral. But I just want
Speaker 1: to know if I Corral over Sony Michell or it's
Speaker 1: Monny Mischill over Correl this week. So I'm gonna start
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle over Crow this week. Cruell clearly at a
Speaker 1: time share right now with Bla p how obviously is
Speaker 1: the extra rest of Thursday Night. But you had a
Speaker 1: huge game, um against Cleveland, But so did Blap Howell.
Speaker 1: The touchdowns were obviously there for the Crow show, Um
Speaker 1: Blah Pow. I believe I touched him in that game,
Speaker 1: and Carol facing a very tough Jacksonal defense. I don't
Speaker 1: know that we ruined the run. I'm excited to see
Speaker 1: what Sony Michelle could do against Miami. I like, I
Speaker 1: like Sony Michelle. Yeah, and then and then the RoCE.
Speaker 1: Look at this one. I got Tyler Board or Microcoxy
Speaker 1: for the plex. That's a good one. That's a very
Speaker 1: good one. Tyler Boyd. I might have these guys back
Speaker 1: to back, Tyler Boyd against Atlanta, right and Michael Crabtree
Speaker 1: versus Pittsburgh Joe Hayden back obviously. Yeah, I'm gonna use
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd just based on the way he's being used targets, Yeah, Crabtree,
Speaker 1: I believe it's double digit targets and back to back games. Again,
Speaker 1: it's like a one A one B with John Brown
Speaker 1: and the Steelers secondary has not been good. So I
Speaker 1: like both of these guys a lot. Honestly, I would
Speaker 1: try to find a way to get both of them
Speaker 1: in my lineup. But I lean Tyler Boyd just based
Speaker 1: on what he's doing and the injuries to the Yeah,
Speaker 1: because my other two receivers and Antonio Brown, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean those guys that are must start player. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I would go to Tyler Boyd, but it's close. Hys
Speaker 1: four four eight four three six seven nine. My buddy
Speaker 1: Max uh, friend of the program, supposed to be traded
Speaker 1: and he wanted me to can't call him, but he
Speaker 1: wanted He's unavailably so us where does Max work? It
Speaker 1: was in New Jersey? What is New Jersey now? It's
Speaker 1: in It's in Brooklyn. Max does um logistical stuff, probably
Speaker 1: something where he could just spend a bunch of people's
Speaker 1: other their money. And no, I think it's kind of
Speaker 1: just that was that was a fab thing. He spends
Speaker 1: all his fab with, reckless abandoned you can tell me
Speaker 1: though logistics something about some of the logistics. All right, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like way over my head. Um, So anyway, I
Speaker 1: have Odell beckhaman trade he offered me Odell Beckham for
Speaker 1: the fifteen dollars Fabbiots left. Um Isaiah Crowell, Derrick Henry,
Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman to Marii Cooper. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: what I told you downstairs. I want I want everyone
Speaker 1: to hear it. Yeah, I'm not doing that trade because A,
Speaker 1: you're trading for an injured player in DeVonta Freeman, and
Speaker 1: we just heard Dr a say, um, all the injuries
Speaker 1: that he's dealing with, he's going to be injury prone
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. So even if he's
Speaker 1: ready to return, it's not gonna be this week. And
Speaker 1: you need to win this week and you need to
Speaker 1: help this week. Isaiah crow Well, he's a flexi ning back.
Speaker 1: Doesn't really push the needle for me. It's just if
Speaker 1: I'm trading away Odell Beckham, like I told you downstairs,
Speaker 1: and I need depth. I want two players that are
Speaker 1: going to be starting worthy players on my team. Like
Speaker 1: I want a low end wide receiver one and high
Speaker 1: end RB two. Or vice versa. I need to like
Speaker 1: top FEF team players at their position in order to
Speaker 1: trade Odell Beckham. Maybe I rank I view him too highly,
Speaker 1: but I think this is the week where he goes
Speaker 1: absolutely ballistic. Right, It's possible I would probably hold him
Speaker 1: this week and then try and trade him at for
Speaker 1: next week because he's gonna go off. Okay, I'm calling
Speaker 1: a hundred yards and two touchdowns at least beam. That's
Speaker 1: that's very exciting. Four eight, four, three, six, eight seven nine.
Speaker 1: Let me get to your tight en ings. I want
Speaker 1: to say the running backs, the wider sivers for tomorrow,
Speaker 1: and before I do, I want to sign up YouTube now.

Speaker 1: else with the quarterbacks before he gets the tight ends
Speaker 1: for you at the quarterback position. Now, we spoke a
Speaker 1: lot about the Thursday Night guys playing tonight. I could
Speaker 1: see this as a bounceback performance for Russell Wilson. I
Speaker 1: have him as my tenth rand quarterback. Everything else is
Speaker 1: pretty much status quo if you're playing in a a super
Speaker 1: flex or two QB league. I think there's some upside
Speaker 1: for Joe Flackle this week going up against the Steelers defense. Obviously,
Speaker 1: if we like John Brown, we like micro A Tree,
Speaker 1: we have to like the person who's throwing him the ball,
Speaker 1: and that's Joe Flaco. I just think he's sneaky and
Speaker 1: super flex le Okay, so there you go, um getting
Speaker 1: the tight end position. We talked I at half point,
Speaker 1: pbr up. I know that's not how you really meant
Speaker 1: to do it, but that's how I have the top
Speaker 1: five tight ends or very much? Do you expect Kelsey
Speaker 1: and Art's ground Rudolph Graham that that's fine. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to look something that stands out, and the person thing
Speaker 1: that stands out to me, Frankie is at number nine,
Speaker 1: and that's George Kittle. George Kittle remains inside your top
Speaker 1: ten with c. J. Bethard throwing in the ball. In
Speaker 1: case you've forgotten, c J. Bethard went to college with
Speaker 1: George Kittle at Iowa. They're best friends, they love each other, whatever, No,
Speaker 1: we're best friends. We're the best friends forever forever. George
Speaker 1: Kittle still inside your top ten despite the lost Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 1: Kittle has let people down week after week consistently thus far.
Speaker 1: Why do you think he remains a top ten tight
Speaker 1: end this week? That's for the reason you mentioned Greg.
Speaker 1: It's together. Yeah, Look, they have familiarity with each other
Speaker 1: on and off the field, they've played, they're going back
Speaker 1: to their days at college, and we know that C. J.
Speaker 1: Bethord is a guy that's more so going to check
Speaker 1: the ball down. I think that helps the running backs
Speaker 1: of pass catching running backs here and obviously the tight ends,
Speaker 1: like he's going to be a safety blanket for him
Speaker 1: plays over the middle of the field. Uh. And just
Speaker 1: because they have that familiarity, Um, we know that young
Speaker 1: quarterbacks tend to lean on the tight end positions. So
Speaker 1: it's kind of similar to what we said about Josh
Speaker 1: Rosen and Christian Kirk earlier in the week, is that
Speaker 1: they've they've practiced together, they run together as the backups,
Speaker 1: and I just think having that rapport going back to
Speaker 1: their days at college. Um, George Kittle is still going
Speaker 1: to see a pretty decent target share, and for that reason,
Speaker 1: I still think he's a low and tight end one
Speaker 1: stree with any of that. Yeah, listen, it takes a
Speaker 1: crapshoot position. It's like he's still gonna get targets. Like
Speaker 1: I think I like Tyler Effort a little bit better
Speaker 1: this week than I do George Kittle. Like I think Effort,
Speaker 1: you can make that argument. Yeah, I mean Ifford Sport teen,
Speaker 1: Kittle's nine for you. There's a bunch of people in there.
Speaker 1: Um I'm excited about and Joe Who and Iffor Who
Speaker 1: of thirteen and fourteen. I think that both their targets
Speaker 1: could go off and gonna be big weeks for both
Speaker 1: of them. Baker within Joeku and certainly Effort being healthy
Speaker 1: getting involved the offense last week. Maybe it's a sign
Speaker 1: of things to come. Even high on Ben Watson all week.
Speaker 1: He sits at number eleven for you, which makes sense.
Speaker 1: We mentioned Red Ellison Dallas got it before Ellison got
Speaker 1: it both seventeen and eighteen for you, higher Ricky Seals
Speaker 1: Jones and higher than Will Display. Yeah. Will Disley just
Speaker 1: fell off the face of the earth last week, and
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a frustrating situation dis leave
Speaker 1: versus Vannette. And then also At Dixon's gonna be back
Speaker 1: in the mix this week. It's either this week or
Speaker 1: next week. It was weeks six, so he's I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss the first four I thought it was
Speaker 1: the first of the spot whatever first three or four weeks. Anyway,
Speaker 1: At Dixon is coming back at some point, so it's
Speaker 1: just gonna jumble up that situation. UM, So I don't
Speaker 1: really trust him overall, and these are just lower end
Speaker 1: streaming guys. If al Shon Jeffrey doesn't go, we saw
Speaker 1: the way Dallas Goddard was used, um and I think
Speaker 1: you know, the Eagles can kind of employ uh a
Speaker 1: two tight end set here where both guys are fantasy viable.
Speaker 1: It's not really something that we've we see done often.
Speaker 1: It's not really something we've seen successful since the days
Speaker 1: of Rocklandkowski and Aaron Hernandez. But Alice Goddard is that athletic,
Speaker 1: he is that good of a pass catcher. He was
Speaker 1: the top tight end coming out of college. So maybe
Speaker 1: they can be that successful. I think I certainly think
Speaker 1: so for this week. If Alston Jeffrey doesn't play, that
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard is in the mix, and then Rehet Ellison
Speaker 1: looks as Eli Manning is always going to target tight
Speaker 1: end at least, you know, four or five times a
Speaker 1: handful of times you're just kind of hoping that he
Speaker 1: scores a touchdown in that high scoring game against the scenes.
Speaker 1: Last known with tight ends, Frank has advanced McDonald at
Speaker 1: sixteen Jesse James all the way down at twenty two.
Speaker 1: Frank buying the hype on Advanced McDonald after last week's
Speaker 1: break out performance. Yeah, I think it's gonna be kind
Speaker 1: of hard to figure out weekend and week out, but
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna kind of play the trends, like, whoever
Speaker 1: is trending more so in the right direction, I'll take
Speaker 1: that player. So Vance McDonald had the big game. Uh,
Speaker 1: he had five or six targets, turned it into the
Speaker 1: long stiff arm touchdown. We all saw it. So I
Speaker 1: will ride the hot hand in Vance McDonald if I
Speaker 1: need a tight end. Streams, Rams and Vikings Tonight. Rams
Speaker 1: are seven point favorites. I absolutely love the Vikings. Give
Speaker 1: me the Vikings and the over tonight, Frank your pick.
Speaker 1: I'll take the Vikings. I'll take the Adam Feeling prop
Speaker 1: for the over. I'm not touching the games. Over bettas
Speaker 1: football Freendsie comes your way next. For Frank's stample, my
Speaker 1: name is Greg Sussel. He so much for watching the
Speaker 1: BFF do it all gonnamorrow, We hope
