1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, November fourteenth, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your Man, MG,

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant joined by Michael F. Florio. We got a

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: great episode for you today, folks. We are hitting up

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: the Mailbang to answer your fantasy questions after week ten plus,

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: our pal Matt Okata is gonna drop by with his

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: top waiver wire targets for the week. But first let's

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: give the people what they want and answer some of

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: their questions. Let's get to some other folks who might

10
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: be disappointed, namely you out there in internet land who

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: sent us questions via Twitter, x whatever. So let's go

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: through these. Fred wants to know. Have CJ. Stroud on

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: my bench? Lamar Jackson starting time to flip that.

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: I think so. Stroudsen putting up numbers and as good

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: as the Ravens have been playing hasn't translated to big

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: numbers for Lamar.

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to play hero ball and it has

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: shown in his fantasy numbers. Mirror Kat wants to know.

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: Is Calvin Ridley droppable in shallower leagues? Yeah? I mean

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: if you're in a deeper leage, you probably want to

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: hold onto him. But in shallower leagues he absolutely is.

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: It's too much of a roller coaster and they can't

23
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: find ways to get him the football consistently. You can

24
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: probably find some better options out there. I think he's

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: like wide receiver seventy something at this point.

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: And the thing like earlier in the year, it was like, okay,

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: zone is Christian Kirk week. Man coverage is Calvin Ridley

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: week and it hasn't even translated to that.

29
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: As of lady, it's just frustrated. It's been really, really bad.

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: Moving on to Kin, who wants to know the time

31
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: to let go of Aaron Jones.

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: No, I know Aaron Jones didn't have a huge game

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: this past week, but he's still Aaron Jones, right, Like,

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: if you drop him, someone else in your league is

35
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: immediately going to pick him up. The upside is too

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: high that you don't have to start him if you

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: don't want to. But I don't think you could cut him.

38
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think that the opportunity, the volume is

39
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: too great to just completely let him go. Matt wants

40
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: to know, why did I decide to start Jamis and

41
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: Williams today? I don't know, Bruh. I'm guessing you had

42
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries and or buys. I know a

43
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: lot of people were short handed at wide receiver, so

44
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: that that could be the reason why. But yeah, until

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: I see something from Jamison Williams, I can't advocate starting

46
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams.

47
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: I had a team that was hurt bad by buys

48
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: and had to start him and Quinton Johnson, and Johnson

49
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: scored a touchdown touchdown, Jamison Williams had one called back.

50
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 2: It almost I would have been ecstatic if that one

51
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: held up.

52
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: That would have been best case scenario for you. Next

53
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: one from Maijen, Bubba, me and Bubba. I don't know

54
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: what can I get from Most. I have a Chan

55
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: also a high end wide receiver. Like I know, you're

56
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: not going to get what you would have got a

57
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, but I still think like top

58
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: twenty wide receivers should be the goal. Yeah, I think

59
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: absolutely so, But you got to do it quick on

60
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: moster because the schedule gets a lot tougher. Eh Chan

61
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: is supposed to be back but potentially after the buye,

62
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: so the value for most it's going to go down quickly.

63
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: So make a move as soon as possible. Last one

64
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: from George, who says, what do I do with Stevenson,

65
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: Laurin and DJ? I'm assuming that's DJ Moore. I don't

66
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: know you'll start Stevenson. I think McLaurin had one down

67
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: game before that he and he gets to Giants next week,

68
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: who he just thirteen or more Fantasy points every single

69
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: game in his career against them, and DJ Moore is

70
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: potentially going to get Justin Fields back this week. Yeah,

71
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean I think you hang on you start these guys.

72
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know who else you have on

73
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: your roster, but these are three. You know, they're not studs,

74
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: but they're quality players who probably deserve a spot in

75
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: your in your lineup on a weekly basis. So good

76
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: luck to you, George. Let's check in on some of

77
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: the top waiver wire targets for a week eleven are

78
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: pal mattal Katas put together his list for the week,

79
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: A couple of quarterbacks. Josh Dobbs no surprise, Jordan Love

80
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: had one of his better games for the recent month

81
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: this past weekend. Meanwhile, running back Jalen Warren starting to

82
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: get some more love. Devin Singletary could be taken over

83
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: there in Houston. Keaton Mitchell continues to be explosive in Baltimore.

84
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson did things this past weekend. Ty J. Spears

85
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: continues to have a nice role there in Tennessee, and

86
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: ty Chandler who could be moving up the ranks in Arizona.

87
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: Zach Sharboney still getting some love, and Rincal Dowdell. These

88
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: white Cowboys running back and score a touchdown. It's not

89
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard over to the pass catchers, Brandon Cooks, who

90
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: I feel like an idiot because I dropped him last

91
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: week and then he decides to have the biggest game

92
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: of his season. Noah Brown has been hot the last

93
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: two weeks. The Mario Douglas is the number one receiver

94
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: in New England for what that is worth. Jaden Reid

95
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: and Romeo Dobbs came back to life. Michael Wilson looks

96
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: like he might have some more juice now that Kyler

97
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: is at quarterback. And Trey McBride, who we talked about

98
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: earlier but always roomed to talk about him again and

99
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: to help us with that. And more to our friend

100
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: Matt Ocatta who pins the weekly waiver Wire article Shessei

101
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: pins because he actually types it out like most of

102
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: us do nowadays. But you can find that online at

103
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash waiver Wire. All Right, Matt, four

104
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: teams on a buy this week. The Falcons, the Colts,

105
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and the Saints all get the week off.

106
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: But let's talk about some quarterbacks he might need to

107
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: pick up. Josh Dobbs man like, he is the best

108
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: story in the NFL right now. It's great to see

109
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: him bounce around, but it's a great story about because

110
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: he's playing good football and that's really more than anything

111
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: what we want fantasy once away. Who's playing Well, yeah,

112
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: it really is.

113
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: And I'm a Creed fan, as you well know, Marcus,

114
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 3: so it's going to be a greater story for me.

115
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 3: I'm a little biased here, but yeah, here's the thing.

116
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: The four guys on by this week, and you're not

117
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: starting any of them, but it doesn't really matter. Dobbs

118
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: is still a QB one for me moving forward. He

119
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: has averaged twenty four point three fantasy points per game

120
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: over the last three weeks, which included a team change,

121
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 3: twenty three, twenty five and twenty five points In those

122
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: three contests. It's productive passing, but it's also, and it's

123
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: more importantly elite rushing numbers. And you put those two

124
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: together and you get a very strong floor ceiling combo

125
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: that I think makes him legit consideration for fantasy moving forward.

126
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: If you want to know how good is rushing is

127
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: seven games with forty plus rushing yards this season. That

128
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: is one short of CMC and Travis Etien at the

129
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: top of the league. And he scored a rushing touchdown

130
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: in four straight games.

131
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: Plus.

132
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: Remember his fifty combined points over his two starts as

133
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: a Viking have all come without Justin Jefferson, who could

134
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: return soon bring maybe even some more upside Dobbs. He

135
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 3: has upcoming matchups with the Broncos and the Bears. I

136
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: consider him a locked and loaded QB one for both.

137
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: I'm starting him down the stretch. I think he must

138
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 3: be picked up.

139
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: Agree with you there? I mean he moonlights as an act,

140
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: like being a rocket size as a hobby for him.

141
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 2: Devin Singletary, though I have watched a lot of Devin

142
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: Singletary in my day, he has never done anything like

143
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: he did yesterday. Is this a one week blip on

144
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: the radar? Or is Devin Singletary for real.

145
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: That That is a tough question, And the big part

146
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: about it that's tough is he's never really been given

147
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 3: an opportunity like this now, thirty carries for one hundred

148
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 3: and fifty yards and a touchdown. By the way, thirty

149
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: carries is not the expected opportunity even if Damian Pierce

150
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: were to never return, which we expect he probably will,

151
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: but I think the big takeaway from this past game

152
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: is he can handle thirty carries and be very productive.

153
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 3: He's been you know, five 't seven to two hundred pounds,

154
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 3: so he's never gotten the true lead role. But we

155
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 3: saw it happen for one week in Houston and it

156
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: looked really good. Will that mean that he remains the

157
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: bell cow when Pierce comes back? I think probably not.

158
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: Pierce probably will still get some carries, but keep in mind,

159
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: Damian Pierce was literally the least efficient back in the

160
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: entire NFL. Prior to his injury. He was rushing at

161
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: three yards a clip. So with Singletary playing like this,

162
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: Damian Pierce playing as he had and now dealing with

163
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: an injury that could potentially linger, we don't know. I

164
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 3: think that Singletary is probably the lead back in general,

165
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: maybe splitting time, but remember he played in committee situations

166
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: in Buffalo over the prior two seasons. He was the

167
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: RB twenty in Fantasy over that two year span, so

168
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: I think he has good value. He's a top RB

169
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: ad for me this week.

170
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: He absolutely should be added. Obviously, I'm going to go

171
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: out on a limit and say he's not going to

172
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: rush for one hundred and fifty yards every week, but

173
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: you should definitely be on fantasy rosters. Speaking of committees

174
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: and guys who are explosive, Keeton Mitchell. He's not getting

175
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: a ton of touches, but he's doing a lot with

176
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: his few opportunities. He's he's sort of Devon Chan two

177
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: point zero right now. I mean, I don't know how

178
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: sustainable it is, Matt, but a guy. He's another guy

179
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: that you just can't ignore on waivers.

180
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you stole the words right out of my mouth

181
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: and my waiver article Marcus I called him devon ah

182
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 3: Chan light in my column this week. Extremely explosive, one

183
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: play to make your day, change of pace kind of

184
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: back that's on a very productive run heavy offense, which

185
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: means there is some opportunity there even when you're not

186
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 3: the lead guy. And yeah, he was a superstar back

187
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: in week nine. He was a guy to stash in

188
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: last week's call him and then he had a solid

189
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: encore this week, thirty plus yard chunk plays both on

190
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: the ground and through the air. The thirty nine yard

191
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: run turned into a touchdown only four touches on eleven snaps.

192
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: That's when I say Devon ah Chan light. That's the

193
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 3: light part. It's not great. But the flip side of

194
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: that coin is that he still out touched Justice Hill

195
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: and outproduced Gus Edwards. So I think that the opportunity

196
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: is going to continue to grow. It really seems like

197
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: it can't not continue to grow the way he's playing.

198
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: And I think that you want Mitchell on your roster,

199
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 3: not necessarily in your starting lineup just yet until we

200
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 3: see more opportunity. But if it comes, you've got a star.

201
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

202
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: They have to give him more work there in Baltimore.

203
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: Speaking of more work, we saw Antonio Gibson more involved

204
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: this week. He was the number two receiving option this

205
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: week for the Commanders, behind only his backfield mate Brian Robinson.

206
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 2: Can we trust this moving forward? Yeah?

207
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: The wide receiver mess in Washington this past week was

208
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: very frustrating. The usage for Gibson was not so frustrating

209
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: for anyone who has him or is interested in picking

210
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: him up. Now, this is not going to be the

211
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 3: case every week that it's or Brian number one and

212
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 3: Antonio number two. But Gibson has now had three straight

213
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: games with five plus catches and has had forty plus

214
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: receiving yards in two straight so I think things are

215
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: looking slightly up. He's increases fantasy points in three straight

216
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: weeks twelve plus points in each of the last two.

217
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: I feel like we as fantasy managers have kind of

218
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: always known this was possible for Antonio, Gibson and Ron

219
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 3: River in company and bienem are just now apparently figuring

220
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: it out. So hopefully they take this lesson moving forward

221
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: and say, okay, let's get him more involved. The great

222
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: news here is the Commander's defense is not good, so

223
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: they're going to continue giving up points and putting the

224
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: offense in deficits, which means there will be more opportunity

225
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: for pass catching out of the backfield. So I think

226
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: Gibson is a deep flex play in PPR for now,

227
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 3: but there is more upside to be had down the

228
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: home stretch as well. And he's the kind of guy

229
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: you can slide in during bide weeks in a pinch.

230
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: Gonna step away for a quick break, but stick around.

231
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. So even people like us who

232
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: do this for a living and spent a lot of

233
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: time studying these things, do things that are a little

234
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: bit foolish. For me. I looked around at Brandon Cooks

235
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, this dude hasn't had more than

236
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: four catches in any game. He hasn't had more than

237
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: fifty yards in any games. He hasn't had any touchdowns.

238
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: You know, one league, I'm just gonna leave him on

239
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: my bench, and another league, I'm gonna put him straight

240
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: back on the waiver wire because why not. And then

241
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: he goes for one hundred and seventy three yards in

242
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Is is this a one week blip or

243
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: is this the beginning of something bigger for Brandon Cooks?

244
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 3: That seems to be the question of the week here

245
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: with a lot of these guys, And this is the

246
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: way I'm looking at it. With Kirks Cooks, he was

247
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 3: a popular sleeper pick back in twenty twenty three Fantasy drafted.

248
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: Many of us had him in that category or in

249
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: that conversation, and it made sense. He's always produced at

250
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: every stop along his decade long career. He has been good,

251
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: and so he said, okay, well, in this new offense situation,

252
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: maybe he can be the number two guy for Dak.

253
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 3: And through five weeks that was a complete bust. And

254
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: so if you can't really be blamed, Marcus, it did

255
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: not look good. Thirty two fantasy points against the Giants

256
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: in Week ten looks very good, and we can chalk

257
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 3: up some of that to the Giants d which is terrible.

258
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: But he had also posted fourteen plus fantasy points in

259
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 3: two of the three prior games, and this is what

260
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: it boils down to for me. I think that the

261
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: Cowboys offense has figured themselves out. They have started clicking

262
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: much more effectively in recent weeks. And I think that

263
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: it maybe took some time for Cooks to build up

264
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: chemistry with Dak Prescott. Both of those things are now

265
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: in place. I think they're both here to stay. Dak

266
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 3: is the hottest quarterback in the league right now. He

267
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 3: has more than a thousand yards and eleven touchdowns in

268
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: the three games since their bye week. So maybe it

269
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: was the by specifically that got them on track. I'm

270
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 3: not sure, but I love what I'm seeing from the

271
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: two of them. And just for the record, this is

272
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: a schedule. They get the Panthers next week. Not great,

273
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: maybe you're not starting Cooks. But after that Commanders, Seahawks, Eagles, Bills, Dolphins.

274
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 3: That is insane. Sign me up for Cooks for the

275
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: next month.

276
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

277
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: They have really since the bye week, they have undiscovered

278
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: the deep ball again in Dallas and it has just

279
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: opened everything up. One player that we know is not

280
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: a one week blip is Noah Brown because he joins

281
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson, Ceede Lamb, and Tyreek Hill as the only

282
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: players with one hundred and fifty or more yards in

283
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: two consecutive games. So next week, can we just write

284
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: pencil it in right now? One hundred and fifty yards maybe.

285
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 3: Not quite one hundred and fifty yards former Cowboy deep

286
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 3: ball guy by the way, So that was a fun transition.

287
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 3: But listen, if you're looking at the fantasy points, Brown

288
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 3: is probably the hottest out of the week. He has

289
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 3: more than fifty over the last two weeks, with an

290
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: absurd three hundred and twenty five yards. I think only

291
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: Ceedee Lamb has more than that over the past two weeks.

292
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 3: Here's the context, though Nigo Collins miss Sunday's game against

293
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: the Bengals, in which Brown had season highs in targets

294
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: and catches. In the week prior Ins in Brown's breakout game,

295
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 3: Stroud had a record setting performance that was unbelievable and

296
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 3: we're not super likely to see again, although he's playing

297
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: at a level that maybe he can do it again.

298
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: And part of that performance was Brown looking so good

299
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 3: prior to Week nine with Collins atop the depth sharp

300
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: before that breakout game, Brown had one hundred and fourteen

301
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 3: yards and no scores total. So this is it's either

302
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: the biggest breakout of the year or a blip. I

303
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 3: think it's somewhere in between. To be honest, I think

304
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: that he drops back down to the wide resciver three

305
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: ye role in Houston once Nico comes back, But the

306
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: way Stroud is playing, that might still be good enough

307
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: to be a wide receiver three in fantasy. So in

308
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: the right matchups, in games where we expect him to

309
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: throw a lot, I'm definitely okay rolling Noah Brown out there.

310
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: I do not think you should expect one hundred and

311
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 3: fifty yards, but you might be able to expect twelve

312
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: fantasy points.

313
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: So we are scolding people who dropped Trey McBride last

314
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: week in encouraging others to finally get on the bandwagon here.

315
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: So please continue to encourage people to get.

316
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 3: On the Trey McBride bandwagon. Yeah, let me lay it

317
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: out for you. I did something unprecedented in this week's column.

318
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: I just took every other tight end that would make

319
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: the list, deleted them, and put Trey McBride from setter

320
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: and said you must add him. I think he is

321
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 3: quite possibly the best pickup of the entire season Devon

322
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: h Chen, notwithstanding may he return soon, which looks like

323
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: he might. Listen. Last week, McBride had a five point

324
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: game against the Browns. I said that was going to

325
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 3: be his absolute full floor rest of seasons. They were

326
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: the number one worst matchup for tight ends, and he

327
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: had Clayton Tune at quarterback and lo and behold upon

328
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: Kyler's return, and Kyler looked magnificent. Praise be McBride caught

329
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: eight of nine targets for one hundred and thirty one yards.

330
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 3: He is a stud and the only real question is

331
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: who are you adding him over and who are you

332
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 3: starting him over. I know Florio gave you some takes earlier.

333
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: Hold on to your breeches. This is my list. You

334
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: got Travis Kelce, you got TJ. Hawkinson, you got Mark Andrews.

335
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 3: Those of the guys are not taking over McBride. After that,

336
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 3: I would pick up McBride and put him in my

337
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: lineup over anybody else. Rest of season.

338
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, we were always hurting for tight

339
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: ends and we found one that that seems like he's

340
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: in a great position. I don't know why anybody would

341
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: go away from him. Go check out Matt O'Connor's waiverwirecolumnfl

342

347

Speaker 1: tell two friends rate review and remember. Deadlines are great.

348
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: I love the wishing sound they make because they fly by.

349
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,639
