Speaker 1: still dodging variants like Neo in the matrix. As always

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: a big show for you on this Wednesday. On the

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: other side of the glass, we got producer Justin and

6
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: the specialists cast of dozens with everybody. I see you there, hey,

7

Speaker 1: appreciate all your help, cast of dozens to help us

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 1: put on this show for you. In here to my

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: left is one and only Michael f Florio rocking the

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: Knicks flag today. Man, I have to. I mean, three

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: and one, they beat the Sixers last night. It wasn't

12
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: even those first place. I'm feeling really good as a

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: Nick fan right now. You should be right. I mean

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: the Knicks altury in the corner, which I know this

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: isn't the basketball show. I don't care. I know it's

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: funny because here is I am. I am, I'm you know.

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm in my mid forties now, right, and everybody keeps

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: telling me that the NBA is so much better when

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: the Knicks are good, and I want proof. I need proof,

20
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: So I want the Knicks to be good so I

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: can actually see if that's the case, it's true solely

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: because we get videos of Nick fans going crazy outside

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: of the garden after each win, and they just get

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: better and better, and to me, like they're almost more fun.

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: Those videos are more fun than watching the actual games.

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: I just know, like I follow I follow both Jesus

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: and Marrow on Twitter and like seeing their tweets when

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: the Knicks are good are that's pretty much worth it

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: to me. Decades in the making. It is decades, literally decade.

30
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the last time the Knicks were relevant O. J.

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: Simpson was on a slow speed chase on the freeway.

32
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: That's all you really need to know. Uh, we got

33
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: a play to talk about. Onto the show today, we'll

34
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: have our big questions for week eight, including how long

35
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts can keep up this twenty point streak that

36
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: he is on. We will have some sleepers for you,

37
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: and of course we will preview all of the games

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: on the Thursday and Monday or Thursday and Sunday Slater games,

39
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: I should say, which actually Segus is perfectly into some

40
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: fantasy headlines. We will start with that Thursday night game

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: because the Packers are kind of in a bad way

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: right now. When it comes to wide receivers, they have

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: placed Davante Adams and Alan Lazard on the reserve COVID

44
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: nineteen list. Uh. It looks for now that Lazard is

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: just out. He is reportedly unvaccinated, so he's going to

46
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: have to be out for five days, which takes him

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: out of this game here now, as of the time

48
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: that we're recording this, Davante Adams is not officially out.

49
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't look good. He has to have a pair

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: of negative tests twenty four hours apart, so it it

51
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: seems very difficult for him to to play this week

52
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. We know there's no Alan Lazard. I

53
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: mean sort of bleak when it comes to past catchers.

54
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: I mean, who who gets the boost if we don't

55
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: have Davanta Adams this week? I think if Marquez Valdes

56
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: Scantling plays, I think I would make him the number

57
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: one wide receiver there at the very least, he has

58
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: a good chance of, you know, a potential deep ball

59
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: there and and then otherwise I think it's Randall Cobb

60
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: and it's st Brown there. But realistically I'm anticipating a

61
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: lot of Bob Tony in and a lot of passes

62
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: for Aaron Jones and a J. Dillon. I'm more excited

63
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: to get like a J. Dillon in a flex spot

64
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: than I would be to get one of their receivers

65
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: outside of maybe Envs if he's activated. But even him,

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: he needs to be activated off of the I R

67
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: and and show them that he's good to go to play.

68
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: So it's a very bleak situation right here in Green Bay.

69
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: I think Tony In and the running backs got the

70
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: biggest boost. I thought that this could be the week

71
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals take their first loss, right like that

72
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: that you know, even at home, uh you know, the

73
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: Packers on the road, I felt like, uh, they still

74
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: had enough to maybe take down Arizona. I don't feel

75
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: that way anymore with with with some of these guys missing.

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: I am with you though, on the Bob Tonyan thing.

77
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: I think he sees a boost. I know the I

78
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: think the numbers are last year in the couple games

79
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: without Davante Adams, Tony In average about twenty seven. I

80
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: think fantasy points per game whatever was it was a

81
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: really big there. It is almost twenty five fantasy points

82
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: per game without Davantae Adams last year, I don't know

83
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: if he gets you quite that many, but he does

84
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: see some more targets. I really thought after last week

85
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: that you know, he he had his touchdown, he had

86
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: the sixty three receiving yards. I'm like, all right, well

87
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: you're not starting him every week. It's not gonna happen.

88
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: At least one more week though. I think he is

89
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, he the usage, and they're like, like

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: I think in the red zone especially he is going

91
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: to be the number one target that is typically Davante Adams.

92
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: If he's not a go, it'll be big Bob Tony in. Um, Marcus,

93
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: are you lowering Aaron Rodgers this week? I think you

94
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: have to. Yeah, I just I don't know how how

95
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: you get around it. Um, you know, and he's been

96
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: playing really well lately, but I just think that with

97
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: without his number one target in that offense, I don't

98
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: see him putting up the same kind of numbers, especially

99
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 1: against the good Arizona the yeah and and they get pressure,

100
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: and that's the one thing that that you know, can

101
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: mess up Aaron Rodgers. I currently have him at QB nine,

102
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: considering though like right behind him as Kirk Cousins and

103
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: Joe Barrow. I might I might flip in behind those two. Yeah,

104
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: I think that that makes a lot of sense. So well,

105
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. What what looked like was gonna

106
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: be a really great game on paper has lost some

107
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: of it shine just because they're gonna be a lot

108
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: of guys who aren't particularly there this week. Uh. In Houston,

109
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is returning to practice for the Texans after

110
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: sitting out with a hamstring injury. Now, there was a

111
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: quote this morning from Texans head coach David Culley basically

112
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: insinuating that we may not necessarily see Tyrod Taylor starting

113
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: that Davis Mills is getting a lot of the first

114
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: team reps in practice. They want to make sure he's

115
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: ready in the event that that Taylor couldn't go. And

116
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing here, but basically the the comment was, if

117
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: we were sure Tyrod could play, he would be getting

118
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: those first team reps. So it maybe another week of

119
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: of Davis Mills at quarterback. But whenever Tyrod returns, does

120
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: it make you feel better about anybody besides just Brandon Cooks. Yeah,

121
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a big boost for Cooks, who was

122
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: in single digits in three of his last four games.

123
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: I also think David Johnson would get a boost in

124
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: value here. Nico Collins another name, just because the quality

125
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: of targets is gonna go up. The fact that they

126
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: won't be punting every three plays will lead to more

127
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: just offensive plays for the Houston Texans. Like this past

128
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: week there the Texans offense was basically three and out.

129
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: They had a safety and a field goal and that

130
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: was all of their points in Week seven. It was

131
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: brutal to watch. Um. I think Taylor one, with his mobility,

132
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: he is just a better play He's a better passer.

133
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: So I'm boosting up Nico Collins, who has been more

134
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: utilized as of late. He has been the second target

135
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row now, behind Brenon Cooks and

136
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: then David Johnson. They just like to get him involved

137
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: in the passing game. He saw season high and touches

138
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: and targets this past week. So I think those two

139
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: and Brendon Cooks would gain a boost and value with

140
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor back. I mean, anything I think is a big,

141
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: bigos for everybody. I mean the gap in targets between

142
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: uh Cooks and everybody else, it's it's the Grand Canyon

143
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: right now, so it would be nice to sort of

144
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: see some more folks involved. I know we're not necessarily

145
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: gonna be all in um on the Texans offense, but

146
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: it would definitely definitely help a little bit. In New York,

147
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: the Jets have made a trade. The trade deadline is

148
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: actually coming, and we'll we'll talk about that a little

149
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: bit later in the show. Um. The Jets have acquired

150
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, so he's back. He's back, with the trade

151
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: for a Super Bowl winning quarterback, getting they needed an

152
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: elite quarterback. They went out, they got Joe Flacco, So

153
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be okay. I think in the short term though,

154
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: I still think we're gonna see Mike White probably get

155
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: to start this week for the Jets, But after that,

156
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: who knows. Would Flacco starting make you more excited about

157
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: any of the Jets pass catchers. No. I saw Joe

158
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: Flacco playing for the Jets last year and it was brutal.

159
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm at the point now where, like I cut Jamison

160
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: crow out in a bunch of leagues this week because

161
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Wilson's out two to four weeks. Crowder is not usable

162
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: as long as Zach Wilson's out. I would try my

163
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: hardest to get away from Corey Davis. In fact, I

164
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: think White starting is better for the Jets because White

165
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: was just dumping the ball off to Michael Carter a

166
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: whole bunch. That is the one Jet player that I

167
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: am excited about in fantasy moving forward. The rest I

168
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: want out of my lineups and Marcus, let me tell you,

169
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: no one is more excited for the knicks hot start

170
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: than Jet fans. You're probably right taking some of the

171
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: attention off of them. At this point, I feel like

172
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: nothing changes for me with this office. Maybe maybe Carter

173
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: does see some more targets and maybe that helps, but

174
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: I was only barely in on them to begin with. Um.

175
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: I think, can you start Corey Davis regularly? You know?

176
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what you started maybe during by mcgeddon, um,

177
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: But that's kind of it. I had a friend who

178
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: put Corey Davis on the trade block today and I

179
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: was like, Yeah, everyone's going in trade for Corey Davis.

180
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: What are we doing here? Oh man, that's just like,

181
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: uh yeah, that's that's bad. It's funny too, because I

182
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: was I was putting this rundown together yesterday and thinking

183
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: about the Jets offense, I remembered what I said repeatedly

184
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: during the preseason is that, you know, I was starting

185
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: to get excited about what the Jets offense could be.

186
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: But I also threw in the caveat that I know

187
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: this is probably gonna come back to fight me at

188
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: some point. Um, And I would say it kind of has.

189
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: Uh you know, not that I heavily invested in Jets,

190
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: but it just hasn't worked out. If Michael Carter goes

191
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: down this this will be a team that I have

192
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: zero interested, zero interest. And I look, I know there

193
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: are Jets fans out there and you watch this team

194
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: every week, and I'm sorry for you. I am like

195
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: I I get it you have a loyalty to them,

196
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: and that is respected and appreciated. But I also have

197
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: sympathy for you. But you you have to watch this

198
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: offense every week because it is bad, all right. Uh.

199
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: That gets us to Week eight, Boys, it is not

200
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: nearly as awful as was last week. Instead of six

201
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: teams on a buy, we have just two. It is

202
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: the Ravens Ravens and the Raiders. So a look at

203
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: some of the notable players on a buy on the

204
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: Ravens side. That means you're missing Lamar Jackson with Avias Murray,

205
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown, Rashad Bateman, who we just got in our

206
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: lives and not all that long ago, and Mark Andrews

207
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: on the Raiders side, Derek Carr, who was playing some

208
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: really good football right now. Josh Jacobs, although he is

209
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: a little bit banged up. I tolde we saw last time,

210
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake who starting to kind of get some more run,

211
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs, and Darren Waller who also obviously didn't play

212
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: in Week seven because of an ankle injury. So this

213
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: one's not nearly as bad as it was, Like we

214
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: we can maneuver around this a little bit more. Yeah,

215
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: it's a lot easier. I felt really good looking over

216
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: my line of last week. One quick thing though, Rashade

217
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: Bateman is still available in like dot com leagues. He's

218
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: not gonna show up if you go by like week

219
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: eight projections, you're gonna have to actually type his name in.

220
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: But grabbed this guy now because I think gonna wat

221
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: him on your fantasy roster after the buy. Moving forward,

222
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: I definitely think so it looks like he is integrating

223
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: pretty well into that offense. I wasn't sure about it,

224
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: but so far, uh, you know, I know it's a

225
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: small sample size, but so far it's it's been pretty good.

226
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: Check it out. We got three big questions for you

227
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: heading into Week eight that will hopefully help you not

228
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: mess up your starting line up. The first one actually

229
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: has to do with maybe what we're wish casting, what

230
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: we're hoping for, what we would like to see happen.

231
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: The NFL trading deadline is coming up in just a

232
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: handful of days. It is November two. I believe the

233
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: actual deadline is at four pm Eastern on November two.

234
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: So we've already seen a few trades here and there.

235
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: We talked about the Joe Flacco deal, him going back

236
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: to New York, Blockbuster. Blockbuster, right, it's gonna change everything. Um,

237
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: But I figured who is out there that is in

238
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: a bad situation that we would like to see maybe

239
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: freed and go somewhere else. So the question is which

240
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: player would you most like to see traded before the

241
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: dead line? For me and my fantasy teams as well

242
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: as for this player, I would like to see Allen

243
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: Robinson get out of a city that he has made

244
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: it very clear he doesn't like in Chicago. We were

245
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: all excited for Alan Robinson this year. I thought he

246
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: was one of the safest bets to get a hundred

247
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: and fifty targets this year. I thought Justin Fields was

248
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna be the best quarterback he's ever played with. It

249
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: just hasn't worked out. He doesn't have eleven Fantasy points

250
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: in a game yet this year. I said, uh on

251
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: a show this week that I think he's almost droppable.

252
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: The only reason I'm holding onto him right now is

253
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: to see if he is dealt because the Bears don't

254
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: look like they're really going anywhere this year. He's already

255
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: been franchised once he's made it clear he kind of

256
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: wants out of there. Maybe they do try to ship

257
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: him for a couple of picks or something like that.

258
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: If he gets traded, I think he still could salvage

259
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: his season. But if he's there in Chicago, like, what's

260
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: gonna change and make it a better year for Allen Robinson?

261
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: I I don't see it coming. I really don't either.

262
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: It's it's really a mess right now. And I was

263
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: with you. I really thought, like a lot of people did,

264
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: that Justin Fields is going to help elevate him. Um,

265
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: it hasn't. And uh. I actually think it was Evan

266
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: Silva that tweeted recently that it was actually better with

267
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton Robinson. It was it was better for his

268
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: two best games in the year. I believe we're with Dalton,

269
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: with Andy Dalton, so this is this has definitely not

270
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: worked out for us. Uh. For me, as much as

271
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: I love the Robinson call, I'm gonna go with Miles

272
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: Sanders because I don't know what the Eagles are doing

273
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: with their running game. Um. Sometimes it's like they forget

274
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: that that's an option, right, that that that you can

275
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: run the football right And I know you want to

276
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: see what you have with Jalen Hurts. I get it,

277
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: but you also can't ask him to stand back there

278
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: and throw the ball as much as he has. You've

279
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: got to be able to mix it up. They've got

280
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: a good, talented dual threat running back in Miles Sanders.

281
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: I know he's hurt right now, but when he's healthy

282
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: and on the field, he can do a lot more

283
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: than they have asked him to do. And it just

284
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: appears that the Eagles I keep saying that the Eagles

285
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: don't love him the same way that we all love him.

286
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: So maybe it's time to you know, maybe you need

287
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: as as Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin had, you need

288
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: any conscious uncoupling, right, just just everybody go their separate ways.

289
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: Will let Miles Sanders go somewhere where he can prosper

290
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: The Eagles can bring in a running about either, you know,

291
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: they love it, Kenny Gainwell, they bring in somebody else

292
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: they like, but let's just let's let's let Miles Sanders

293
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: go somewhere where he can he can prosperous. I think

294
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: he's a lot better than he's given the opportunity to be.

295
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: I agree, and I think that's why, like the fantasy

296
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: community can never quit Miles Sanders because we watch him

297
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: play and we're like, this guy is talented, but he

298
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: had Doug Peterson holding him back with the two RB

299
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: system for so long. And now I just don't get

300
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: what's going on. Since we to his high and fantasy

301
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: points is ten point one, and then lass five games,

302
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: his high and carries is eleven. He's single digit carries

303
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: in four of his last five games. Like I I

304
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: don't get it. I think he is a better running

305
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: back than he gets credit for and selfishly, I have

306
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: Kenny Gainwell on a few fantasy teams that would really

307
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: benefit and traded I. You know, I I do the same.

308
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: I have a gain Well in a couple of spots

309
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: and so, like every body wins, let's just let's just

310
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: make this happen. I don't think it will. Um, that's

311
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: not one of the names I've heard in the trade

312
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: rumor mill, but you know, and there's definitely teams out

313
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: there that can use a Mile Sanders or Alan Robinson

314
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: like absolutely so. Uh, if we were making it happen,

315
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: it would happen. But we're not. Sadly send him to

316
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: that'd be cool, and that'd be cool Allen Robinson, No Sanders,

317
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: I think would be pretty fun there. Yeah, back, there'd

318
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: be like one more running back that we have to

319
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: try to like figure out and uh and sift through. Uh.

320
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: Since we were talking about the Eagles, Jalen Hurts has

321
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: been kind of a medical miracle, not medical but fantasy

322
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: miracle in the sense that it doesn't really matter what

323
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: is going on in the actual game. Uh, Jalen Hurts

324
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: is gonna get your twenty fantasy points. Like it just

325
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: it just seems like a lock. There have been times

326
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: that you pointed this out where he when he was

327
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: in the third quarter at one point with like less

328
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: than a point, and he finished with twenty points. Uh.

329
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: This past week, I think he only had like seven

330
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: point it's in the third quarter and somehow figured out

331
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: how to get over twenty points. It just seems to

332
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: be happening regardless of how well he's actually playing. So

333
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: how long can he keep this street going? Now? As

334
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: long as he wants, I know this week is a

335
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: lock that he's gonna keep it going. I think against

336
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: the lines, I think he's gonna be able to run

337
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: on them, throwing them. But then he gets a really

338
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: tough stretch where we could see it end. Chargers, Broncos, Saints,

339
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: all three tough defenses that are stingy with quarterbacks. But

340
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: the issue is the Eagles played terrible for two and

341
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: a half quarters, and then the end of the third

342
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: and all of the fourth quarter they're trying to come

343
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: storming back. It's a lot of hurts running, running near

344
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: the goal line, taking shots down field. So I think

345
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: he is almost a lock to get twenty points pretty

346
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: much weekly because of what he gives you with his

347
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: legs and if he if it ends, Marcus, I think

348
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna end with like eighteen or nineteen points. Like,

349
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't think Hurts is gonna go out and give

350
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: you like have a terrible game where he gives you

351
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: like eight fantasy points. I I agree with that, And

352
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking like on paper, this this should happen this week, Right,

353
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: it should happen this week against the Lions. I feel like,

354
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, when they're playing the Chargers, it's a situation

355
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 1: where he gets you some garbage time points, uh and

356
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: in the end. Um. Honestly, I feel like if it ends,

357
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: Denver could sort of be a place where it ends

358
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: because their defense is okay, Uh, their offense isn't gonna

359
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: score enough points to force them to really have to,

360
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, go hard in the in the third and

361
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. So it could be like in Denver against Denver,

362
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, in a couple of weeks gets with the

363
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: Saints too. Could happen with the Saints too, But well,

364
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm with you, it'll be like he gets you like

365
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: seventeen eight points. Right, You're not You're not gonna get

366
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: in eleven out of Hurts? Are you buying this whole

367
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew could take over at some point. I mean,

368
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's ridiculous, but I think if it happens,

369
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: it will be late late, Like it's not gonna happen

370
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: in the next month. It'll be you know, hey, the

371
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: Eagles are out of the playoffs. It's week seventeen something

372
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: like that, which sort of stinks because that would be

373
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: championship week if you're still if are still playing. But

374
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: it's like weeks seventeen eighteen, Like, hey, let's just figure

375
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: out what this offense looks like with somebody else running it.

376
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: But I think it's possible. I just don't think it's

377
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: happening anytime soon. I agree with that, especially because, yeah,

378
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: Eagles are losing right now. But that's also good for

379
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: them in a way because they have, you know, three

380
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: draft picks, three first round picks next year, so they're

381
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: gonna want to get as high of a pick as

382
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: they possibly can try to get a quarterback, I think,

383
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: because I'm not sold on Jalen Hurts the real life

384
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: quarterback long term, but I'm a hundred sold on Jalen

385
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: Hurts the fantasy quarterback. It's been a while since there's

386
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: been for me a disparity this big between a guys

387
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: like actual performance and it's fantasy performance. I put it

388
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: out there in the response I got back, most commonly

389
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: with Blake Bortles. Yeah, but Jalen Hurts I trust a

390
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: lot more in fantasy than Bortles because portals you needed,

391
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: like a long touchdown late. Jalen Hurts, you just needn't

392
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 1: have the ball in his hand. He's gonna do it

393
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: one way or another. So we'll see. Last big question

394
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: for the week. And you sort of touched on this earlier,

395
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: but is it time to just give up on the

396
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: Bears passing game right now? Yeah? I I had expectation

397
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: last week against the Bucks because it was like, not

398
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: a great secondary, but they're gonna be needing points. There

399
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: was I mean, they scored three points against the Bucks

400
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: defense last week, Like it just wasn't pretty. I said

401
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: you could drop Darnell Mooney in my Waiver Wire article

402
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: this week. Um, I think Allen Robinson is a hundred

403
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: percent benchable getting very close to being droppable. Uh in

404
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: ten team leagues, I think he is droppable. And then

405
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: fields I rank outside of the top twenty quarterbacks every

406
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: week now, Like it's almost to the point where he's

407
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: down there with like Davis Mills and those guys because

408
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: he's not running, he's not throwing the ball effects efficiently.

409
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: It's been a huge swing in a miss by me

410
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: and and and I know some others as well. But

411
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: I was very high for this Bears passing game and

412
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: it it's just awful. It's got worse since they moved

413
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: on from Trabiski, which is saying a lot. It really

414
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: has and and we didn't think it could, but they have.

415
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: I want to say they've bottomed out. I hope they've

416
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: bottomed out because I don't want to see if it

417
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: gets any worse than this right now. Um, And I

418
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: think for me, the biggest surprise is that Justin Fields

419
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: isn't running with the football. And you know, I know

420
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: Adam Rank, who obviously watches the Bears very closely, sort

421
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: of has said that the way Fields runs, it's sort

422
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: of like how Russell Wilson runs, where there's not a

423
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: lot of design runs. He's the guy who can get

424
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: out of trouble when need be, Um, but he's not

425
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: even doing that right now. But I would also just

426
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: I had just assumed, and you know, you know what

427
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: happens when you assume. But I figured they would just

428
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: build in some runs, some sort of you know, designed

429
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: quarterback runs for Justin fields and it hasn't happened. The

430
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: one thing we liked about Shubinski when he was the

431
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: starter in the last couple of years is that like

432
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: he can give us some points with his legs and

433
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: and run a little bit. And like they didn't even like,

434
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: like you said it time and time again, it's like

435
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: they're calling play like trying to make Justin Fields be

436
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton and it. It just doesn't make sense to

437
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: me at all. I don't get it. It's uh, it's

438
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: it's head scratching, and everybody around him has sort of

439
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: suffered because of it. All right, time for a break.

440
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: When we come back, we got some game previews on

441
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show. All right, that gets us

442
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 1: two our game previews. We go through each game on

443
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: the Thursday and Sunday slates. We will start, of course,

444
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: as we normally do with Thursday Night Football, the Packers

445
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: at the Cardinals. We mentioned at the top of the

446
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: show that the Packers are going to be shorthanded at

447
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Yikes. Uh so obviously knowing that's where are

448
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: you going with with somebody who's getting your attention? I

449
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: think a J. Dillon strong flex play this week. He's

450
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: been getting more utilized as of late. I understand last

451
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: week didn't go as we had planned markets only three carries,

452
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 1: one catch, but the three games before that eleven, twelve

453
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: and sixteen touches in those games. And I think this

454
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be a game where the Packers, being shorthanded

455
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: at the receiver position, I think we'll see, and the

456
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: fact that the Cardinals get so much pressure on the quarterback,

457
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: I think we will see a lot of little design

458
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: plays to the running backs, a lot of short dump

459
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: offs to them. And I also think they're just gonna

460
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: try to run the ball more than they do, try

461
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: to control the clock, keep Colin Mary and that Cardinals

462
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: offense off the field. So I have Dylan inside my

463
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: top thirty running backs right now. You know, it's been

464
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: interesting to watch him sort of grow in the role

465
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 1: that he's been given this year. Like early on, there

466
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: wasn't much there. The last few weeks, they're starting to

467
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: get him more touches, more targets, especially, so he really

468
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: is sort of stepping in and becoming the new version

469
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: of Jamal Williams there. So I'm I'm totally down with that,

470
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: and I do like him this week against the Cardinals. Uh.

471
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: Next game Titans at Colts, which is one of the

472
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: more interesting games on the schedule this week. And before

473
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: the show, producer Justin who is our resident Titans fan,

474
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: was sort of Uh. I would say he was like

475
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: negging the the Titan right. He was like trying to

476
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: use reverse psychology saying that this is a letdown situation

477
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: after two really big wins. Uh, and that he's not

478
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: expecting much. We see through you, we know how you operate,

479
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: but on the field. Uh. And maybe this goes along

480
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: with what Justin was saying here. I sort of like

481
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: Carson went as a sleeper option this week. UM, very quietly.

482
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: He's just hanging around there, sort of a nice QB

483
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: two option. Definitely in two QB leagues, but if you

484
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: just need somebody as a streaming option to fill in. UM.

485
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: He's been fairly consistent, usually anywhere between seventeen and twenty

486
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: points pretty much every single week. And I know what

487
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: happened last week with the Titans pretty much shutting down

488
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. I don't expect that every

489
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: single week out of this defense. I just don't think

490
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: they can do that. And and maybe maybe it's not

491
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: a full letdown, but it's a partial exhale, and that

492
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: allows Carson Wentz to go out and have a pretty

493
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: decent game this week. I think it's time that we

494
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: start giving Carson Wentz some some more love. Like over

495
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: seventeen fantasy points in all but one game, over twenty

496
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: and two of his last three, and something that I

497
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: think we do in fantasy, like he's been playing through

498
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: his ankle injuries. We just like forget that he's dealing

499
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury, and the announcers on Sunday Night Football,

500
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 1: we're talking about it like that did hamper him a bit.

501
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: He had two ankle sprains and then last week twenty

502
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: three rushing yards. It's something he hasn't done since the

503
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: ankle sprains. So if that's back in his game now,

504
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: it's even it raises his fantasy floor bid as well.

505
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: He should learn to take a page out of Ben

506
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger's book, where he lets us know how injured he

507
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: is every week. Because Ben is not afraid to tell

508
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: us that he's less than a hundred. Ben wants us

509
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: to believe that he can barely move every game, and

510
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: then he just goes out there and will Seriously, he's

511
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: he According to Ben, he is sort of Arnold Schwarzenegger

512
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: and Terminator too. He's like the old broken down terminator

513
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: who has to face these like you know, new high

514
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: tech models, but somehow he's able to get it done.

515
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: Single he actually is that Terminator now though he's pretended

516
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: for years. Now he's just broken down. I just imagine

517
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisbroker going into a Vada lava like with a

518
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: thumbs up. That's it. That's how That's how his career

519
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: is going to end. So we're saying on every show,

520
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep saying it because that's what we do. Here.

521
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: Go follow us on TikTok at NFL Fantasy. We're putting

522
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: off out all the time. Again, we're trying to be entertaining,

523
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: we're trying to be informative. It's TikTok. It's all short

524
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: videos for those of you with short attention spans. I'm

525
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: one of view. It's fine. I'm not mocking you. Uh

526
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: you know. So come check us out though at NFL Fantasy. Uh.

527
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: You can also check me out at Marcus Grant. At

528
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: some point we're gonna get Florio on it too. I

529
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta figure out the TikTok. My attention span

530
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: is so short. I can't even figure it out. See

531
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It took. It took me a good

532
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: month plus to like figure actually more than that, probably

533
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: several months to kind of figure it out. That's where

534
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm in that phase right now, trying to figure it out.

535
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: You do. You have to sort of learn how to

536
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: massage the algorithms so that you get you know, the

537
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: kind of content that you want, and then once you

538
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: find a sweet spot, it's all good. I will say,

539
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: every time I open up the app, I see either

540
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: you would ranks so so yeah, and you guys are

541
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: doing big things there. Thanks. Yeah. My last one was

542
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: me celebrating the fact that I have a team that

543
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: is no longer winless. You know, okay, I would. It

544
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: happens to all of us. At some point you run

545
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: into a team that's just bad or just has bad luck,

546
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: and so I finally got a win thanks to that.

547
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman touchdown late against the forty nine. Your plays

548
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: look like a club in that video. Yeah, sort of nice,

549
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: all the little effects and stuff, because normally it just

550
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: distracts you from the fact that I have a child

551
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: in my place. That's it. So anyway, go check us

552
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: out again NFL Fantasy, or you check me out at

553
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant one or the other, or preferably both. You

554
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: can do both of those. All right, let's get back

555
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: to the game previews. We will start with these Steelers

556
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: at the Browns. Uh. You know, both these teams right

557
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: now looking up at the Bengals shockingly enough in the

558
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: a f C North, but both of them still expected

559
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: to contend for a playoff spot. And for us in

560
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: our selfish fantasy purposes, though, who are you paying attention to?

561
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Chase Claypool here because this is

562
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: a game where, like you knowiced start Naji Harris and

563
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson and and the Browns running back whoever is

564
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: the starter of Nick chub plays or not. But like,

565
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 1: beyond that, there's not a whole lot of great fantasy options.

566
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: I think Chase Claypool is a good option. Though the

567
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: Browns have struggled against wide receivers this year, they've given

568
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: up a good amount of points to the position, and

569
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: then Claypool has been more utilized as of late. I

570
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: know he struggled before the bye and that one Sunday

571
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: night game, but before that he had over eighteen Fantasy

572
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: points in two straight game with Juju Smith Schuster out. Now,

573
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: I expect it to be him and Deonte Johnson getting

574
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: a bulk of the target. So he is so explosive

575
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: it only takes one long ball for him to have

576
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: a good a good game, and with him getting all

577
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: the volume, I think he's a strong wide receiver like

578
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: three year flex playing. I do think he's a lot

579
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: more interesting now without Juju because there are fewer targets

580
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: that that they have to spread around um and they're

581
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: using him in a different way too, they're sort of

582
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: wing him around a little bit more so. I definitely

583
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: dig that forty Niners at the Bears, which on paper

584
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: at the start of the year seemed like it was

585
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: going to be a lot more interesting than it actually

586
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: is right now once we have hit Week eight. But

587
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: despite all of us lamenting about how bad the Bears

588
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: passing game has been, I say you can start Khalil

589
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: Herbert because I mean, he's not really the passing game.

590
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: They they are still trying to run the football and

591
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: they're still doing it effectively. And Herbert has been very

592
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: good over the last three weeks, averaging about ninety rushing

593
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: yards per game, getting a ton of touches. I think

594
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: he's surpassed Damien Williams on the depth chart, and I

595
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: keep saying this, I think he's still going to have

596
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: a role once David Montgomery is back, but for this week,

597
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: he is still the guy back there. And the Niners look,

598
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: once upon a time they run defense was was very feared.

599
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: Right now they're just sort of average. So I think

600
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: as long as the Bears are struggling to throw the

601
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: football and knowing that the Niner offense isn't necessarily gonna

602
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: go put up a bunch of points and run away

603
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: and hide, I think Khalil Herbert should definitely be in

604
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: your lineup this week, agreed. I mean I was hesitant

605
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: for him last week against the tough Bucks defense, and

606
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: he routes for a hundred yards added five catches in like,

607
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: I think, as long as David Montgomery's out, you start him.

608
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: I think that's that's sort of the case. It's like

609
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: the one thing that seems to be working for the

610
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: Bears right now. Uh, Dolphins at Bills. Once upon a

611
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: time in my life, this was like a really big game,

612
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: like back in the late eighties early nineties, Like Dolphins

613
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: Bills was sort of appointment television. Uh, not so much now,

614
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: but I know you'll be watching it, so so in

615
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: this game, are you paying attentions? Yeah? When I was

616
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: growing up, my dad loved to scream squish the fish

617
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: every time I would play them. I think Mike Kasecki

618
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: is a must start option this week and moving forward.

619
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: I know the Bills have been tough on tight ends

620
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: this year. I don't think it matters when it comes

621
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: to Mike Gasecki um eighteen over sixteen Fantasy points and

622
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: four of his last five games and the one that

623
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: he didn't do it, it's eight points. So if his

624
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: floor is eight and his upside is over twenty, you

625
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: will gladly take that from eight tight end. He's seeing

626
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: big volume. Uh. The passing game has really been him

627
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: and Jalen Waddle. I don't expect it to change even

628
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: when DeVante Parker comes back to it. Just loves going

629
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: to Kisiki. So I'm going to continue to start him

630
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: each and every week. I think that the one thing

631
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: I feel like we know about uh two ways that

632
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: he's so far just kind of locked in on a

633
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: couple of targets. Sicky is one of them. Um, he

634
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: just keeps hanging around. Man. I know I always sort

635
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: of used him as the poster child for like math

636
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: tight ends, but he's been better than that. So I

637
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: willing to acknowledge that big bulls at the Jets. We

638
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: talked about the Jets and how there's really nobody there

639
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: that we're paying attention to at all. But I will

640
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: say that I feel like this is a week we

641
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: can go back to the T Higgins well. Um, and

642
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: I know people are sort of frustrated because Jamar Chase

643
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: has been just sucking up all the oxygen in that atmosphere.

644
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: But let's not ignore the fact that T Higgins had

645
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: fifteen targets last week, and in fact, in games that

646
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: he has played, he actually is leading the Bengals in

647
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: targets in those games. The problem is he's not getting

648
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: the big deep shots that Jamar Chase is. He's not

649
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: getting the ridiculous yards after catch that Jamaar Chase is

650
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: but the opportunity is there, and at some point you

651
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: gotta feel like some of these things are gonna start

652
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: to turn his way a little bit. I'm I'm at

653
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: the point where I think Tyler Boyd is droppable. I

654
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: just don't think he's doing enough in this offense. But

655
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to close the book on T Higgins Jet.

656
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: And this feels like a game against the Jets, who

657
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: have yet to face I think a really truly deep

658
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver corps. You look at their numbers against wide receivers,

659
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: they look pretty good, and then you start to dig

660
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: into who they've played, and then there's no real team

661
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: that you feel like, oh, well, you know this is

662
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: a really good team they stop. Uh, this is the

663
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: deepest wide receiver group they faced. And I think I

664
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: think Tee Higgins kind of comes back to life this week.

665
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful. Um, I just want to see like the

666
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,239
Speaker 1: volume has been great. I want to see them though,

667
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: give him more shots down field because that was something

668
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: that he was able to do last year. And I

669
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: get Jamar Chase is amazing, and you throw any deep ball,

670
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna score a touchdown on it, but Tee Higgins

671
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: can do that as well. I think, so, just hoping

672
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: for a little bit more usage down field, but I

673
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: do think he is still a wide receiver that you

674
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: could trust. I hope so certainly. All right, last one

675
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: in this segment, Rams at the Texans. What are we

676
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: doing here? I think you should start every player on

677
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: one team. I will let you guys figure out which

678
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: team that is. It is the Rams offense. Matthew Stafford

679
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: is averaging over three hundred passing yards a game and

680
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Cooper Cup is the best wide receiver in

681
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: Fantasy so far this year. Darryl Justtin gets all of

682
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: the running back volume there, Tyler Higbee gives you like

683
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: nine ten fantasy points in a game, which is useful

684
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: to trust as a tight end one. And then Robert Woods,

685
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't lived up to expectations, but he's

686
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: still giving you, you know, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen fantasy points

687
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: a week right now. So I think every Ram is

688
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: in play in a great matchup. And I wouldn't be

689
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: surprised if the Rams just come out after last week's

690
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: close game and just like lay the hammer down early.

691
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: I do feel like if you're the Texans, you saw

692
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: what happened last week against the Lions, and you're like,

693
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: oh no, like you know, now I gotta face an

694
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: angry bunch of Rams. Uh. I'm with you on that one.

695
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: I would say this about Robert Woods as frustrating. It

696
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: has been the last two weeks. He's the wide receiver

697
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: twenty three, so they're starting to get him more involved

698
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: in the passing games, starting to get him more uh integrated.

699
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: So you know he's not gonna catch Cooper Cup I

700
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: don't think anytime soon. Who you sort of undersold he's

701
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: not just the number one wide receiver, he is the

702
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: the number one player in all of fantasy football by far.

703
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: I mean, uh yeah, it's it's amazing what he's doing

704
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: right now. Do you think we see a fake punt?

705
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: Uh an onside kick all of that from the Texans now,

706
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: because they're not fun, Like the Lions are bad, but

707
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: they're fun the Texans. Texans will wave the white flag

708
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: and punt later. They'll punt from like the Rams forty

709
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: yard line probably at some point in this game. Uh yeah,

710
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: they're they're just not fun. They're bad and not fun,

711
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: which is a really awful, awful combination. Um, we are

712
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: doing some starts and options for you here. Of course,

713
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: we do them all during the week as well. On

714
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,840

00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: on demand. Because we know that somebody who have other

722
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: responsibilities and you can't sit around live streaming a fantasy

723
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: football show. All right, we will take break. When we

724
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: come back, we will dig into our pack of trading

725
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: cards and find a couple of interesting players to talk about.

726
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: That's next on the NFL Fantasy for the Bull Show.

727
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Bucks at the Saints specifically, let's

728
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: talk about Litard four net. Uh. Dude has been lights

729
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: out recently. There is right there behind us in a

730
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: little monitor for those of who you are watching the

731
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: streaming show. Um, he's been great. Lately, has he reached

732
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: the point where you feel like he's a weekly must start. Yeah,

733
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: I think he's must start Lenny now like, and he

734
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: would appreciate that nickname because he just throws Lenny on

735
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: anything and it's a nickname. Now. Uh. He's been awesome

736
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: as of late, over sixteen fantasy points in each of

737
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: the last four games, as high as thirty in those games.

738
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: And even in the game last week where we had

739
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones sightings and Keyshawn Vaughn sightings because it was

740
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: out of hand, he still had seventeen touches, gave his

741
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: seventeen fantasy points. He is a must start option and

742
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: I've come around to it. No offense to any of

743
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: the other high powered offenses. The Bucks are the oft

744
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: offense in football. They just make it look easier than

745
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: everyone else. In my opinion, they're they're unfair when they

746
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: are clicking the way they are. I mean, you know,

747
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: you've got Brady who is still very much on top

748
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: of his game at forty four years old. Um, he's

749
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: got you know, when everybody's healthy. By the way, Antonio

750
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: Brown was on crutches at practice on Wednesday, so that

751
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: doesn't really bode well for him playing this week against

752
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: New Orleans. But uh, look they got when everybody's healthy,

753
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: they've got Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and Antonio the

754
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: best wide receiver trio in football. Right. They've got Rob Gronkowski,

755
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: who looks like he's back to being the guy we

756
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: saw at least closer to the guy we saw in

757
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: New England for a lot of those years. Uh. And

758
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: now they've got Leonard four Nett in the backfield who

759
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: was just sort of dominating there. So and they got depth,

760
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 1: like they lose Gronk and it's like, okay, here's everyone's

761
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: fantasy darling. Okay, Howard, Like we'll just start giving him

762
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: the ball like absolutely, so you know everything is You're

763
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: probably right. They are the best. They're probably the deepest

764
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL right now. Um, and they're just

765
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: rolling along. The only thing that could stop them is

766
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: again that that secondary kind of having some issues. But

767
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: they can score with anybody in this league right now.

768
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: All right, speaking of Tom Brady, his old team, the Patriots,

769
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: they're taking on the Chargers. They'll be right, uh right

770
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: next door, next door neighbors there. They get a little

771
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 1: rowdy sometimes in loud I want to go borrow some sugar.

772
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't really work out. It's but anyway, Keenan Allen,

773
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: who is still a wide receiver for your Los Angeles Chargers.

774
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: He will be on the field, but this year has

775
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: not been what we wanted it to be from Keenan Allen.

776
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: And we talked about Robert Woods before and how he's

777
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: sort of let us down. Keenan Allen, I think you

778
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: could say kind of the same thing. Should we still

779
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: value him as a wide receiver one? I don't think.

780
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: I think it's very borderline, but I would say this,

781
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: I think Mike Williams is more of a wide receiver

782
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: one than Keenan Allen. I think Keenan Allen is more

783
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: of a wide receiver to right now moving forward, that

784
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: the targets and the volume that he still sees twenty

785
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: four percent targets share, nine point seven targets per game

786
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: means that you still start him each week. But he's

787
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: just not doing what he was doing last year with them,

788
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: Like he has no games with twenty Fantasy points in

789
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: the last five weeks he has won over fifteen. Uh,

790
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: they're not they they used the tight ends in the

791
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: in the red zone, they take the deep shots with

792
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, So he's kind of just a possession wide

793
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: receiver two Right now, I would say I I sort

794
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: of wonder if this is part of the evolution of

795
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. Right Like last year Herbert was literally thrown

796
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: into the deep end to become the starter. Uh, and look,

797
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: the smart guy says, hey throw it to throw at

798
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: the number thirteen. He catches everything. He's a big play guy.

799
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: Let's get him involved now with a little more comfort.

800
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: Obviously you've got a new offensive coordinated there as well,

801
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: but you have a quarterback who's growing and now starting

802
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: to involve other players. We've seen Mike Williams have such

803
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: a really good start to the year. We've seen Jared

804
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 1: Cook at times really get involved. We've had a mostly

805
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: healthy season from Austin Ekeler, And so I don't think

806
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: it's that Keenan Allen is a worse player this year

807
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: than he was last year, just that they don't necessarily

808
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: need him to do everything that he did. Agreed, And

809
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: like I was huge on Mike Williams coming into the year,

810
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: even I didn't expect Mike Williams to be doing what

811
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: he's doing. But I think we do have to admit,

812
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: like Mike Williams is a much better talent than he's

813
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: ever gone credit for, Like he is a legit NFL

814
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: very good wide receiver. And then on the short passes

815
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: where Keenan has always thrived, Austin Ekelers is arguably the

816
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: best at that in the game. So it's just it

817
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: is an elevation for Justin Herbert, but it's just, yeah,

818
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other pieces around Keaton Allen that

819
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: necessarily weren't there in past years. I mean, we're seeing

820
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: why Mike Williams was the number seven overall pick. Yeah,

821
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: not all that long ago by the Chargers. So all right,

822
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: that gets us back to our game previews and it's

823
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: called the Eagles and the Lions, which I mean, there's

824
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: nothing about it that's super exciting, but I will say

825
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: that you're gonna start Kenneth Gainwell in this game. Um.

826
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about Miles Sanders. He's dealing

827
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury to be out uh for a

828
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 1: little while, and so Gainwell, who I sort of liked anyway, um,

829
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: now gets elevated to a a larger workload. It was.

830
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: I was ready to sort of quit on him not

831
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: that long ago, because just it seems like the Eagles

832
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: weren't using him. They were barely using Miles Sanders. That

833
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: made it even harder for Gainwell to get opportunity. But

834
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: now with no Sanders, I think we see a lot

835
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: from Kenny g this week, especially against the Lions team

836
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: that has been pretty bad against fantasy running backs. So

837
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: this feels sort of like a no brainer. Especially if

838
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: you lost Miles Sanders, game Well seems like the next

839
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: best option. Yeah, losing Sanders changed everything for Gainwell. I

840
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: I also will add I think Boston Scott is a

841
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: flex option here just because if Philly does have a lead,

842
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: I think he'll be the back that they use a

843
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: little bit late in the game to grind out the clock,

844
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: not Kenny Gainwell. But yeah, I think Gainwell does it all.

845
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: Early on by the game, was still available in about

846
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: of NFL dot shouldn't be, shouldn't be, should be should

847
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: be less than that, But he's still out there in

848
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: a good number of leaks, So take a look on

849
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: your waiver wire. Maybe he's he's still available. Panthers at

850
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: the Falcons Uh, the Mike Davis Revenge game, if you will.

851
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 1: I forgot about that. The Falcons are kind of boring

852
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 1: to talk about for fantasy because it's like, hey, must

853
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: start Kyle Pitts. You're starting Calvin Redley, must start for

854
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: Down Patterson On the Panthers side. Though, I think this

855
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: was a game that people with Sam Donald was like,

856
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: I could I could use him in this great matchup.

857
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he can. I'm saying, sit Sam Donald.

858
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: It's just been it's bottomed out the last three weeks

859
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: six fantasy points, fifteen two point four the last three games.

860
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: He got benched for p J Walker against the Giants

861
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: where we thought it was a favorable matchup. I know

862
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: the matchup is great. Maybe Sam Donald can go out

863
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: there and give you twenty fantasy points. I will not

864
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: trust him in my starting lineup IV two Quarterback League,

865
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: where I'm not even starting him in it because I

866
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: I just I'm going with Kirk Cousins and Trevor Lawrence

867
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: over him because I just think they're safe. For Like,

868
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: could he get benched again this week? I don't think

869
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: it's out the ram of possile. I'm like, I have

870
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 1: a two quarterback league where I I feel like I'm

871
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: gonna have to start him because I don't know if

872
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: I have another viable option. But I'm not excited about it.

873
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: And and I'm with you, if I were in a

874
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: one QB league, this is not it. It hurts my

875
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: heart because this is a matchup that seems great. But

876
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: I I'm with you, I can't trust him after what

877
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: we've seen for the last three or four weeks. It's

878
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: been bad. Just bad throws, bad turnovers. I dropped him

879
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: for Daniel Jones in a one quarterback league this week.

880
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: That's New York guys. I'm just trying to play the matchup.

881
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: I just can't trust Sam Donald. I'm not saying you're wrong.

882
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that said that says a lot about

883
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: where Sam Donald is now versus where he was after

884
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: the first, you know, three weeks or so of the season.

885
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: I thought he was breaking out. I really did seem

886
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,479
Speaker 1: like that. It seemed like it was going that way.

887
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: Uh and he's just falling apart for him in the

888
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: last month or so. Man, that's no good. So I'm

889
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: doing this last segment of the show under protest because

890
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: during the break, producer justin made me think about the

891
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: two thousand five n c A National Championship game where

892
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: Vince Young shredded up my Trojan defense and they the

893
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: Texas Longhorns won a national championship at the Rose Bowl. Alright,

894
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 1: fent downhill for both sense, and it's really that's kind

895
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: of right like things that. I mean. Vince had a

896
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: nice little short run at first in the NFL and

897
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: then it sort of fell apart for him, and uh yeah,

898
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: so anyway, Uh let's finish out these game previews though.

899
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: We got the Washington football team heading to Denver to

900
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: take on the Broncos. I'm gonna tell you to start

901
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, not because you didn't you know, necessarily need to,

902
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, think that Jerry Judy was good or not good,

903
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,479
Speaker 1: mostly just as a reminder that he's back now after

904
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: spending some time on injured reserve. He is back. He's available.

905
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: He is expected to play this week, and the Broncos

906
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: could certainly use him. They have been sort of up

907
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: and down, especially throwing the football. They get their number

908
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: one receiver back against the defense that has struggled against

909
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: passing games all year long. So this is just your

910
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: friendly reminder that if you have Jerry Judy and he

911
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: has been either sitting on your bench or maybe sitting

912
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: on an I R spot, whatever it is, get him

913
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: ready and available and get him back in your lineup,

914
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: because this is as good a matchup as you can

915
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: expect this week. I'm so excited for Jerry Judy. I

916
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: had him pegged as a big breakout start coming into

917
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: the year. I had him as the top twenty four

918
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He looks great in the two and a

919
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: half quarters that he played. I'm really excited about to

920
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: get him back into our fantasy line absolutely, and I

921
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,720
Speaker 1: think part of it even makes me feel like Teddy

922
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: Bridgewater maybe has some sleeper potential this week, just because

923
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: he's got Jerry Judy back to go along with Courtland

924
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: Sutton and on the rest of his past catchers. Jaguars

925
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: at Seahawks because the schedule makers said, so what are

926
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: we doing in this one? I think you could stream

927
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. I said I was playing him over Sam

928
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: Donald earlier. I have him as a top fifteen quarterback

929
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: in Week eight. He had been playing better before the bye,

930
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: and because of his bye week, he was dropped in

931
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues because of by him aged in,

932
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: but he's over fifteen Fantasy points in three straight including

933
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 1: one at two to see points. He's been running more.

934
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: Marcus over twenty rushing yards and four of his last

935
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: five two rushing touchdowns nearly three in his last three games,

936
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: and his passing yards have been up as well to

937
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: seventy three and three nineteen the last two weeks. We

938
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: just need him to get a little bit more passing

939
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns going, but without being a favorable match up here

940
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: for him, I think that that could happen this week.

941
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what Lawrence could look like after

942
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: the bye. It is. It's taken some time, but he

943
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: really is starting to put some things together now, which

944
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,959
Speaker 1: is very exciting. Uh. Side note, we've learned that DJ

945
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: Chark gone for the rest of the year because of

946
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: that ankle injury. The name I'm seeing a lot of

947
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: is Jamal agnew Um that he may be the guy

948
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: who sort of takes over in that slot role and

949
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: it starts to see some targets any any interest, say

950
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: in deep leagues in Agnew there. I think so, and

951
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,760
Speaker 1: that's a really good call because he was getting volume

952
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: and I think it kind of gets overlooked. Seven targets

953
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: and six targets the last two games and then the

954
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: bye week, and everyone just kind of thinks, you know, oh,

955
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: it's agnew, He's not gonna I think in a deeper

956
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: league he's definitely in play. I mean, look at somebody

957
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: who is an unabashed laviscus chnault stand um jal Acne

958
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 1: was starting to get some run. It's time that we

959
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: we sort of acknowledge that there UM Sunday Night football

960
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys at the Vikings. This one looks really interesting.

961
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 1: This looks like it could be a very very fun game.

962
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: And I will say, we know you're starting your your

963
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 1: main Cowboys, whether you know Dak Cooper, lamb Zeke, all that. UM.

964
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: On the other side, I think you can start Kirk

965
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: Cousins in this game. He's been playing very very well

966
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: so far this season, and like the start of the year,

967
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: the schedule was very favorable to him. But even lately

968
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: and some maybe more difficult matchups, he's stepped up and

969
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: I played some really good football. I think this is

970
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: another opportunity to get him in there. For all the

971
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: talk about treyvon Diggs, understandably, UM Dallas is still giving

972
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: up some yards and some points, especially at the quarterback position.

973
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: More often than not this year, Cousins has been around

974
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: twenty two twenty four points. I think he can sort

975
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: of keep that going this week. So we know you're

976
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: cool with Justin Jefferson. You're probably starting Adam feeling um,

977
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: But if you're needing another quarterback, Kirk Cousins should definitely

978
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: be on your radar this week. Completely agree, And and

979
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: I sist someone on Twitter the other days say if

980
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: their kicker made all of their kicks this year, he

981
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: would be in the m v P discussion, which sounds

982
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,760
Speaker 1: wild but mably not probably not wrong. Yeah, it's wild,

983
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: So Kirk Cousins, who would have thought? Who actually say

984
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: that Adam Rank actually has been on top of the

985
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins thing. Maybe because he wants to sort of

986
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: try to hate on Kirk Cousins and he can't really

987
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: because the dude is actually playing really well, right, Yeah,

988
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: who knows? Alright? I look at our sleepers four week eight.

989
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: We each have a pair. Start us off with who

990
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 1: you got I said earlier, I like him a bit,

991
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: But Boston Scott, I think is a sleeper that you

992
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: could get off the waiver wire and into your starting

993
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: line up this week. It helps that it's the best

994
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: matchup that running backs could have against the Lions. But

995
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: he actually had more carries than Kenny Gainwell did last week,

996
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: and he had three touches inside the ten yard line

997
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: compared to gain Wells one. So I think it has

998
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 1: a good chance of scoring a touchdown in this matchup.

999
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: The lines give it more touchdown to running backs than anyone,

1000
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: and I I said it earlier, I think if the

1001
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: Eagles have a lead late, it'll be Boston Scott grinding

1002
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: at the clock, not Kenny gain Well. I do think

1003
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: this is gonna be kind of a two running back rotation.

1004
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: I don't expect game Well to get all of the work,

1005
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: so Boston Scott is definitely I think in play this week.

1006
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: I got another running back and it's Zack Moss, and

1007
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: it's been cool that it seems like the Bills have

1008
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: designed to make him their lead running back. What has

1009
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: been frustrating is that even then, the opportunity in the

1010
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: production has been kind of man. I mean, all of

1011
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: that opportunity, he's still only getting you maybe ten eleven

1012
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: Fantasy points per week. This feels like an opportunity for

1013
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 1: him to step it up a little bit against the

1014
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: Dolphin defense that has been kind of awful and giving

1015
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: up the second most red zone touches two running backs

1016
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: this year. So there's a chance, especially down near the

1017
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: goal line, for Moss to maybe make some hay. So

1018
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a guy that you can

1019
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: confidently start every single week, but this feels like a

1020
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: week that that could be a big Zack Moss week. Yeah,

1021
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: he dominated against Miami in Week two, and he's also

1022
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 1: the back that they use when they have a lead late,

1023
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: and they could have expect them to have a lead late. Yeah,

1024
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: exactly who else are you looking at as a sleeper

1025
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: this week? I think Darius Slayton is a good sleeper.

1026
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 1: He saw I mean we got an alert today that

1027
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: sat Kwon Barkley, Kenny Golladay, could Darius tony Sterling Shepherd

1028
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: or all if he for Monday Night football. So with

1029
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,280
Speaker 1: all of those guys being banged up, I think Darius

1030
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: Slayton is a nice sleeper in a great matchup in

1031
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: nine targets last week, and Marcus, I think he's especially

1032
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: a good candidate if you have a Darius Tony or

1033
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,399
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd or uh Sae Kwon Barkley that you're hoping

1034
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: to start on Monday, because if they sit, you could

1035
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: then flex throw him in your flex about there over

1036
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: one of those other Giants players. I think slayton is

1037
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: is you know, I think he's a good player, but

1038
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: I also think my process of elimination, he ends up

1039
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: sort of being a really nice play this week. What's

1040
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: gonna be frustrating for people is, as you mentioned, all

1041
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: those guys are sort of up in the air, and

1042
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: because it's the Monday night game, you were going to

1043
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: be forced to make a decision before then. You're gonna

1044
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: have to probably make your decision on Sunday morning about

1045
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,280
Speaker 1: whether you believe these guys are gonna play. If they don't,

1046
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: you might be in a pretty bad way. So we'll see. Also,

1047
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: maybe the Chiefs are a sleeper defense this way potentially,

1048
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, though they've looked really bad. Who knows,

1049
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: who knows? Uh. My last one for this segment is

1050
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams. And it's been a while, I think since

1051
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: we've thought about Jamal Williams as a fantasy relevant option.

1052
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: The last few weeks that they production. The fantasy numbers

1053
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: have not been particularly good, but I think against the

1054
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: Eagles this week, you will see him involved. I don't

1055
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 1: really expect either one of these teams to get out

1056
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 1: to a big lead, so I think all of the

1057
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: fantasy relevant players are probably gonna be in play. And

1058
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: we've seen the last couple of weeks Williams started to

1059
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: get more touches again. Obviously, it's been hard because Andre

1060
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: Supos have been really good. I don't think anybody in

1061
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: their right mind expected that DeAndre Swift would be the

1062
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: RB two right now behind and Derrick Henry Um. But

1063
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: I do think there's an opportunity where, especially maybe late

1064
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: in this game, we see Jamal Williams get some chances

1065
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: uh and if he can somehow score a touchdown, then

1066
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: I think he ends up getting you a pretty good

1067
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: fantasy day. Against Philadelphia, Swift taken all the targets kind

1068
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: of hurt him, and he said the fantasy production hasn't

1069
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: been great as of late, but the opportunity is still there.

00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: He has twelve or more touches and all but one

1071
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 1: game in his last five, so he's getting the ball.

1072
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: He just hasn't turned it into anything. I think this

1073
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: is a week where maybe he turns out into some

1074
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: something decent. So we will see. But if you want
