1
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: Fantasy freaks and geeks. What's up? You're listening to the

2
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live Podcast. I'm your host James co alongside

3
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: my guy MG Marcus Grant, the Man behind the Glass,

4
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: the man with the master plan that would be the

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: whiz kid from Wisconsin Alex Gelhart, and half the Fabulous

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: One himself, Michael Fabiana. What's up man? What's up? Man? Um?

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: I this game last night for nuke? Oh yeah, that

8
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: was quite the game. It seriously seemed like he was

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: every wide receiver on the Houston Texans roster last night

10
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: except for Strong. Strong made an appearance. Hey, welcome to

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: the world, Jalen Strong. Uh. It was so sad for

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: USC fans too. Not only did they suffer a tough loss.

13
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: What happened in that game? So, like, I don't follow

14
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: college football, So is Washington just really bad? And USC

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: should have never lost a double digit favorite at home?

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: It's not. It's not that Washington's really bad. I mean,

17
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: they're a young, up and coming team and they run

18
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: a very good defense. But it was a case of

19
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: everybody watching that game in the building at home could

20
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: see that SC was gashing them running the football, So

21
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: why not put it in the hands of our struggling

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: quarterback and let him throw it thirty times in a

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: couple of peas at their second loss this year. It

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: is both of them at home at home to double

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: digit underdogs. Good. No, but I felt bad for him

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: during the Thursday night broadcast because that uh and they

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: and they couldn't stop talking about the Jail Mary Park

28
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: two if I tried to. I tried to, you know,

29
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: head people off at the pass by you. As soon

30
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: as it happened, I went and just posted on Twitter

31
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: a photo of the Jail Mary from from the coliseum

32
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: last year, and like, great name by the home. I'm

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: just I'm just going to preemptive prectively strike everybody so

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: no one comes at me with that. That was funny. Um,

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: and I felt bad for USC fans. It was. It

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: was kind of not it was a double whammy. It

37
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: was a double wammy piling on. But no, it's funny.

38
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: It's crazy because the old guys man, the old guy's rule. Yeah,

39
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: that was. This is so silly because people always buy

40
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: into this like revenge narrative and fantasy, like, oh so

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: and so I was playing their old team, and well,

42
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: that's sure, there's probably a little bit of something to it, like,

43
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: but are we at the point where maybe we should

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: start now? I mean, Golden State didn't do a thing

45
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: against Okay, I mean, let's just say, how about established, older,

46
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: established stars versus old team in a revenge game. Steve

47
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: Smith last year just went bonkers. Uh, DeShawn Jackson went ridiculous.

48
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of like against Philadelphia. So I

49
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: don't know, is there something I don't I don't know

50
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: if it was a revenge game specifically. I mean, I

51
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: do feel like maybe they tried to get Andre Johnson

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: a little more involved against his old team. But one

53
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: of the things that I did hear you in the

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: afternoon yesterday before that game was that a lot of

55
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: the Colts players were talking about Matt Hasselback and saying

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: that if you get open will reward you, that he's

57
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: going to find you with the football. And you know,

58
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know if that was necessarily a criticism

59
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: of Andrew Luck or whatever. You sure sounds like it,

60
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: but apparently, you know, the the past catchers, they're like

61
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: the fact that Hasselbeck tends to spread the ball around

62
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: a little bit more. By the way, we won Andrew

63
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: Luck interception away from a full blown what about your no, no, no, no,

64
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that there is one. I'm just saying

65
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: there's gonna be stories. They're saying there is by by

66
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: John sportswriters back controversy. I mean, look, there's a lot

67
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: of comments to fill in, a lot of digital media

68
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: space to to fill up there, so you know, maybe

69
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: somebody will come up with that idea, but no one's

70
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: buying it. Although, um, you want to talk about someone

71
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: who came back. I I don't know that I've ever

72
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: had as much anxiety as I did last night watching

73
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: Arian Foster as someone who owns him in like four

74
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: or five leagues. Every time he touched the ball, I

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: started to get nervous. And then when he got that

76
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: when he got that that injury and he's out, like,

77
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me. But he had a strong game.

78
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: He nine catches. He clearly wasn't like but he's still

79
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: really good. He's so smart and so fluid. He just

80
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: lacked that like extra gear he usually has. But it

81
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: was still great to see him out there and making

82
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: his cutbacks, making a good reads like Stiff Armstrong, Stiff

83
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: arm is still strong, that the hamstring might not be stiff.

84
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Arm is strong. It's funny because if you look at

85
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: the targets from last night, Nuke had fourteen, Foster had ten. Fourteen.

86
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: It's insane. He I mean, he dropped his pace off

87
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: from two forty to two thirty seven now on the targets.

88
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: That's I feel good about trading Drew Brees and Mike

89
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: Evans to get him in an industry league that I'm

90
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: in because I was worried I maybe gave up too

91
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: much and and gave up a little early on Mike Evans.

92
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: But boy, Nuke is just on real right now. Get

93
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: all the targets. I feel like I feel like he's

94
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: putting up a lot of Andrey Johnson games though no touchdowns, well,

95
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: a lot of catches. I'll take the heck was with

96
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Strong, like coming out of nowhere. I love it. Well.

97
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: Part of it is that the Colts decided not to

98
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: cover him. I mean, Hail Mary. The end of the

99
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: first half, if there was nobody really around him, he

100
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: just boxed out and then there were five colts behind

101
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: him like some little congregation, like you're gonna cover Jalen

102
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: you don't cover Jalen. Now let's let's like you cover

103
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: jal and then he just catches the touch and then

104
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: the second touchdown there was nobody in the area code.

105
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he was all by himself and Brian Hoyer

106
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: with almost twenty Fantasy points and he wasn't even the

107
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: starter to begin the game. Um, this is this was

108
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: an upside down game where the guys who hadn't done

109
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: anything or were struggling really ended up coming up big

110
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: for fantasy owners. Although most people didn't start Hoyer, I'm

111
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: sure some people started Andre Johnson. No one started Strong Hasslebeck.

112
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're in a deep league or two QB,

113
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: maybe he got his start. He had sixteen Fantasy points.

114
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: Frank Gore's back on the right track now, right, But

115
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: they're starts, thankfully, Like that's what he just needed. Give

116
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: the old man some work. Couldn't fumble. Ran two carries

117
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: ninety eight yards, added a touchdown. Great great day. T

118
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: Y Hilton five catches eighty eight yards, no tds. Andre

119
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: Johnson went crazy six catches seventy seven yards, two touchdowns.

120
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: On the other side of the ledger Arian Foster again,

121
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: and we were mentioning him kind of struggling on the ground.

122
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: Nineteen carries forty one yards about two yards a carry. Uh,

123
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: not great. His longest run of the afternoon was seven yards.

124
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: He made hay as a catch as a catcher, no doubt,

125
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: about nine catch nine catches for a running back, uh,

126
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: seventy seven yards. He had a long of a thirty

127
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: two so uh. And we talked about DeAndre Hopkins as well,

128
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 1: eleven catches a hundred and sixty nine yards. It was insane.

129
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: But you know, you look at the old guys here

130
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: at a Vinitari even old guy over forty years old.

131
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbeck forty years old, Gore thirty two years old,

132
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: which is that's like that's ancient and running in running

133
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: back years. It's unbelievable how old that is. And then

134
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson, uh, thirty four years old, I believe. Uh.

135
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: And he made an impact as well. But my goodness,

136
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: another story in this game, two guys, the Texans defense,

137
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: thanks for nothing, right. You hear the report from our

138
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: own Stacy Dale's that Matt Hasselbeck is hoping he can

139
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: get through four quarters. Uh. There's visions of Josh Johnson

140
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: playing quarterback dancing in our heads, were thinking it's a

141
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: home game on a Thursday night, and the Texans and

142
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: their desk gave you and well, I mean, you look

143
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: at you look at the numbers from this thing. And

144
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: we talked so much about the pass rush and J. J.

145
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: Watt and Jadavian Clowney and those guys up front, and

146
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: you worry about the Colts offensive line have been struggling,

147
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: no sacks. Matt was not se One of the things

148
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: I just saw this on Twitter this morning when I

149
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: was waiting for you guys to come up here, was that, um,

150
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: the percentage of Matt Hasselbeck's throws that he that left

151
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: his hand in less than like two point four seconds

152
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: or like that was like seventy and with luck it's

153
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: only around fifty. So I think they schemed. And it's

154
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbeck being a savvy veteran that like every time

155
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: he got that snap, he was like later and just

156
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: chucked that thing. So we didn't have to deal with

157
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: Clowney because they did put some pressure on him here

158
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: and there. Clowney hit him a couple of times and

159
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: what got that weird roughing penalty where he like accidentally

160
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: bumped into hassleback and Hasselbeck pulled a soccer player and

161
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: I was like, oh god, but yeah, it was hassleback

162
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: with smart about getting it out. I'm sure that was

163
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: part of the game plan for the Colts. I know

164
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: we talked about fantasy here, but you know, from a

165
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: real life perspective, you know, look, Ryan Mallett obviously not great,

166
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: but seven of ten throwing and then Brian Hoyer thirty

167
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: one throwing the football. I thought both of those guys

168
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: were pretty efficient. They just you know, obviously they couldn't

169
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: establish a ground game. But I I'm not saying I

170
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: liked what I saw from either one of those guys.

171
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: But I mean, Brian, it's funny. I feel like, I

172
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: feel like Ryan Mallett should just start every single game

173
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: and then they should just yank him after a series

174
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: and then just throw Brian Hoyer. And I would love

175
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: to see building so much better as a backup. I

176
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: don't understand. I'd love to see Bill O'Brien walk out

177
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: to the field like a manager in baseball and just

178
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, call for the right hand or whatever. He

179
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: takes the takes the ball from Mallet, like pats him

180
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: on the shoulder, Like, good job kids, and then comes

181
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: in that is funny. Um. By the way, we talked

182
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: about Jalen Strong, Uh, fifty three yards, two catches, two catches,

183
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. That's pretty efficient. That's efficient. Pretty good? Is there?

184
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: They used the third round draft? Is he worth a

185
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: bench spot? No? Not right? Maybe in a dynasty league,

186
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, definitely. I like this talent. I did. And

187
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: then he struggled in preseason. He was battling injuries. He

188
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: just wasn't playing well. And then Steve cel Short stepped

189
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: in started playing really well and Washington was playing well.

190
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: So this was a situation where Strong got on the

191
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: field because those other two guys were hurt. But that's why.

192
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: But that's why I'm asking, you know, is it's worth

193
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: a bench spot because look his talent level. Um, yeah,

194
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: it's undeniable. It's undeniable. He's a good player. It's just

195
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: a it's just a matter of Kenny put it all together.

196
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: He didn't put it together in the preseason. I liked

197
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: what I saw. I mean, granted one was a hail Mary,

198
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: but you know, the strength by which he caught there

199
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: was no hesitation, uh in his game whatsoever. And and

200
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: I going back to the college tape, I just like

201
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: Jalen Strong in terms of what he can do for

202
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: this offense. If if DeAndre Hopkins is taking the coverage

203
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: over the top, Jalen Strong, whose game is really well

204
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: suited underneath, could be an interesting fit there. Um, would

205
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: I use a waiver prior? M Okay, no, I wouldn't

206
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: do that. But uh, to me, when I look at

207
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: Cecil Short and Nate Washington, I'm not necessarily blown away.

208
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: I wonder, if you know, if this season starts getting

209
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: away from him. I wonder if Jalen Strong just starts

210
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: getting more work. Unless his name is Deandore Hopkins, there

211
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: is no Texans wide receiver I would trust. I think

212
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: it's I think it's just a wait and see thing

213
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: right now, because I'm trying to if my mouse would work,

214
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: like to to tell the listeners when I've done to

215
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: you guys right now, the mouse on this computer in

216
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: the podcast to you. For whatever reason, whenever I go

217
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: to a part of the screen, it decides to just

218
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: revert back to a different side of the screen, making

219
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: productivity very hard. But I wanted to see Strong only

220
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: had two targets to targets one was one wasn't even

221
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: a target. It was just a hail Mary. So that's

222
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,599
Speaker 1: a yolo ball. Let's wait and see it was a

223
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: yolo hail mary. Let's just wait. Let's wait and see

224
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: what Jalen Strong I would like to actually find out.

225
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna google this. Where do you guys know where

226
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: the term at hail mary came from? Was this from

227
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: the rock against the Vikings? He said, I dropped back,

228
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: I said a hail Mary, and I left the ball,

229
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: Which is why some purists are like, they're not all

230
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: hail off your high horse. All right, let's hit the

231
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: top headlines. Let's do it. The camera highlights in the

232
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: world of sports, breaking, breaking news, breakingly, continue to follow

233
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: breaking news, a news it was your wife. All right,

234
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: your top headlines. We started Seattle. Darryl Bebel, the offensive

235
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: coordinator for the Seahawks, says, he quote doing everything we

236
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: can to get Jimmy Graham involved. Do you buy what

237
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: he is selling? Alex gelher Um, I guess. But when

238
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: you hear quotes like this, obviously there's a lot of

239
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: questions in the media regarding Jimmy Graham's usage. Can you,

240
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: I guess you imagine a scenario where you know, the

241
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and and the coaching staff in general basically say,

242
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: you know what, guys, we do need to get Jimmy

243
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: Grant more involved. Here. I'm sure they are saying that.

244
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: Here it is, you gave up a big part of

245
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: your team in Max Hunger. Bring this guy in, you know.

246
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: And and whether or not it had anything to do

247
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: with that final play in the Super Bowl, we may

248
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: never know in actuality. But here it is you have

249
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: a major offensive weapon on your team and okay, maybe

250
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: you're not going to completely change your offensive style, but

251
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: you are wasting this guy. I mean, there's there's no

252
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: two ways about it. Now. I don't know if if

253
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: they have something up their sleeve that we don't know

254
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: about it Again, I I go back to what I

255
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: saw last week on Monday Night, And if they can't

256
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: protect Russell Wilson and if half the past plays turned

257
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: into scramble drills, then I don't know if Jimmy Graham

258
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: is suited to play in an offense where you know

259
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 1: you've got to basically play, you know, backyard football. And

260
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: let's be honest to guys, I mean, as much as

261
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: we research and we follow the game and the stats

262
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: and everything else. There's some things in sports that happened

263
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: and we don't get it. We don't get why Marshawn

264
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: Lynch didn't get the football in the Super Bowl last

265
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: year set Seattle probably wins the Super Bowl. Uh. We

266
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: don't understand why Adrian Peterson barely touched the ball in

267
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: Week one and ever since he's been a demigod. He's

268
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: been so awesome, smarter than everybody else. There are certain

269
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: things we don't get, we will never understand. We don't

270
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: understand why Bill Belichick hates our fantasy football teams. Although

271
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: this year maybe Dian Lewis has broken the Bela tricks curse.

272
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: But Jimmy Graham was number one, never a great fit

273
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: for this team. Uh. Number two. The offensive lines to

274
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: agencies have made it more difficult for him to be

275
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: on the field because he can't He can't block. And

276
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: if you remember that quote back in the preseason where

277
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: he said, hey man, you know of the time I'm

278
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: gonna be blocking out there. Maybe he was joking, maybe

279
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: he wasn't, but the tight end is utilized to block

280
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: in this offense, not to be a pass catcher. And

281
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: Marcus hit it on the head. If the offensive line

282
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: can't do its job, Jimmy Graham cannot can't get out

283
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: in space, and they're playing sort of backyard football where

284
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's running for his life and looking for the

285
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: first open guy. Especially when Marshawn Lynch is not in

286
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: the game, Jimmy Graham is going to be neutralized. I

287
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: guess what I don't understand though, is if the offensive

288
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: line can't block, you throw to the tight end. It's

289
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: the quickest way to get yards, not if the tight

290
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: ends being doubled. The question is is he being done?

291
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean, last week he was bragging it a lot.

292
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: They would have the safety over the top and the

293
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: linebacker underneath. And yeah, I mean the de try to

294
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: some pretty good linebackers too, so that might have been

295
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: part of it. But and this week, I mean, Cincinnati

296
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: has given up fewer than five fantasy points a game

297
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: to tight ends. Yeah, it's just uh not good. It's

298
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: hashtag un good. As Marcus says, we will stay in

299
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: Seattle where Marshawn Lynch misss practice. He's basically you know,

300
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. He's there, he's in the

301
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: press box. It might be true, might be true, but

302
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: he's miss practiced time. Uh, you know, he's considered you know,

303
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: a week to week, game to game. Um, what do

304
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: we make of of the injuries? Uh, we don't even

305
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: know really what it is at this point, because what

306
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: was it before? It was a I think he was

307
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: dealing with a calf, and then when we saw him

308
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: in the game, they were working on his back, and

309
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: then they said he was out with a hand. Yeah,

310
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: it's been his back for a couple of years. I

311
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: think the first injury he had earlier in the season

312
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: was a calf, and then it was a hamstring. So

313
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: that's why that's why you get worried, is when it's

314
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: three separate things piling up. Yeah. I mean, I don't

315
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: know how accurate the medical reports are. Um, you know,

316
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: obviously they have a vested interest not to necessarily be

317
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: a truthful with what he's actually dealing with. But no,

318
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: you're right the wear and tear. Uh, I mean we

319
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: talked about the carries, the touches and all that. How

320
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: about just all the games, I mean, with the two

321
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl runs of the Seahawks have had. I mean,

322
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: we I know there's been a lot of press coverage

323
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: on it, but he's basically played an extra half season

324
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: compressed into to your it's. He has done a lot

325
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: of work, and I you know, I know a lot

326
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: of owners are worried about Marshawn Lynch. So I guess

327
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: I'll throw it out to you, guys. What should fantasy

328
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: managers do with Marshawn Lynch? Marcus Grant, Well, I mean,

329
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: if you're really really panicked, you try to trade him.

330
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: But I still believe that that he's going to be

331
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: a big part of what the Seahawks due down the stretch.

332
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this team is going to be in the

333
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: thick of the hunt for the NFC West title. They

334
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: are probably going to be a playoff team unless something

335
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: really catastrophic happens. So that means that down the stretch,

336
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: regardless of of whether Fred Jackson is there, Thomas Rawls

337
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: is there, they're going to need Marshawn Lynch to be

338
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: successful and they're going to get him the football and

339
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: plenty of opportunities. So I mean, if if you have

340
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: the the opportunity to be patient, I understand that you

341
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: know not everybody can do that depending on your fantasy roster,

342
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: then I think you wait and you give him an opportunity.

343
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: But if if you're panicked and if you need help

344
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: somewhere else, you know, trying to deal him, somebody will

345
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: take him based on name value alone. I guess potentially

346
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: that's you do one of one of two things. You

347
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: keep the faith and hope that he returns to beast mode,

348
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: or you try to package him in a trade, because

349
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that you're going to get value for

350
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: him one on one. You're not gonna get saying Emmanuel

351
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: Sanders for him or Julian Edelman for him. You're not

352
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: gonna get uh that kind of value right now, um,

353
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: at least not in most leagues. But if you package him,

354
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: potentially there's there's a chance. But I wouldn't give on him,

355
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: give up on him just yet. I have him in

356
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: our NFL Fantasy Live league, and I am crossing my

357
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: fingers and keeping the faith. At at some point when

358
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: he gets healthy, he'll come back and play well. He

359
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: does have a pretty good playoff schedule too, if you

360
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: look at it. All. Right, So I gotta ask, uh,

361
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: we we mentioned trades a lot um, and sometimes you know,

362
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: I get comments like, well, okay, trade them, but for

363
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: what not for a specific player, But what level of

364
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: player are you trading for? Are you training for a

365
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver one? Are you trading getting that? I don't

366
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: think you're getting that back either. Are you training for

367
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: a wide receiver to what are you trading them for?

368
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: You've probably well you know me, I'm going after the gustos,

369
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: so I'm going too for one. But if you're going

370
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: to one for one right now, I don't know that

371
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: you can get one of the top ten Fantasy wide receivers.

372
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about Travis Benjamin, Okay, I'm talking

373
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: about some of the elite, talking about James Jones. Well,

374
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: now I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't do that either. Um,

375
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: there are other wide receivers out there that you can get. Uh,

376
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: to be quite honest with you, you can. You can

377
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: probably go a Marii Cooper for Marshawn Lynch. Straight up,

378
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: someone would probably do that trade. I think someone would

379
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: probably do a Keenan Allen for mars Shawn Lynch deal.

380
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: But I also believe that it depends on how desperate

381
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: another team is to get a running back and how

382
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: much they're willing to risk. But I'm not going to

383
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: give Lynch away for a bag of peanuts, that's for sure. Alex. Yeah,

384
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: I think Fab said it though. The best is to

385
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: try and package him, put him with some lower tier

386
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: guy that's playing well right now that sound like the

387
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver's free range or you know, RB three range

388
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: or whatever, and flip the both of them for a

389
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: better for a better prospect, to help somebody out who

390
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: needs the depth. And could you know is optimistic that

391
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: Lynch is gonna return? All right? There you go? Um,

392
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis got am I reading this right? Dion Lewis

393
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: got a two year mid season which, by the way,

394
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots never do, not to running backs, not to anybody.

395
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: They never work out extensions in the middle of a season. Um,

396
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: it's it's a fair point to ask, is Belatricks officially over.

397
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna say yes. I mean, I'm gonna

398
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: detentatively say yes. I don't want the Belatricks to hear back.

399
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: Can we can we you know, somehow exercise this part

400
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: of the podcast. It doesn't get back to Boston. I

401
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: think it is they again. I go back to the

402
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of the season when Dean Lewis

403
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: put the ball on the ground and back to back

404
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: games and stayed in there and remained a big part

405
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: of what they do. You know, And I think I

406
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: think this week's gonna tell us a lot when we

407
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: see how much La Garrett Blunt gets used. I mean,

408
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: Blunt had a big game a couple of weeks ago,

409
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: but a lot of those came once the game was

410
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: out of hand and he scored a lot of touchdowns late.

411
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: But if this game remains an issue for most of

412
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: the afternoon, which is possible against the Cowboys, Um, you know,

413
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how much Dion Lewis is on

414
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: the field versus how much La Garrett Blunt is on

415
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: the field, and that might give us a clue. Um.

416
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: It's interesting too, I think about what the Patriots are

417
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: trying to get done offensively, they're throwing the ball. I

418
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: mean they look like Baylor out there. I mean it's

419
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: just shotgun and go every play. Uh, he's on pace

420
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: for almost six thousand yards passing. But how many passive

421
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: tempts is he on pace for? That's the real question?

422
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: A lot crazy. How many times did you throw the

423
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: ball last game? Almost sixty times and a yeah, I'll

424
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: pull I'll pull it up. Are we go? But I

425
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: think this is like Marcus, your right, next game we're

426
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to see. But this is such a sign

427
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: of them putting their chips behind Dion Lewis. And if you,

428
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if you watch the tape, he's been phenomenal

429
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: for them and he's he's like a perfect fit for

430
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: what they do because he's elusive, he can run between

431
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: the tackles and outside, and he's dangerous after the catch,

432
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: getting passes out of the backfield. I guess the point

433
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: that I was making is if the paths are going

434
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: to be throwing the ball fifty times a game or more, Um,

435
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis obviously is the past catching back and that's

436
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 1: why he's in there. Um tom Brady's throwing it thirty

437
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: two times, uh fifty nine times two times times, he's

438
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: on pace for six seventy two pass attempts. That would

439
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: be uh yeah, that would be that. That's Matt Stafford

440
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: esk um. And if he's throwing the ball six hundred times,

441
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: man Dion Lewis, I mean, think about just the the

442
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: volume and the value there. So and especially this week. Yeah.

443
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean no team has given up more fantasy points

444
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: to running backs over the last two weeks. And the

445
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys and I'm not just talking about seven plus. They've

446
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: been getting slaughtered. And I know the defense will be

447
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: a little bit better this week. You've got uh, You've

448
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: got um, Rolando McClean coming back, almost aid Rolando Blackman,

449
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: Lando McClain coming back. Uh, Shawn Lee looks like he's

450
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: gonna be okay. You've got greg Or greg greg Hardy

451
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: coming back. I am like, I am like losing. It's

452
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: been a long week podcast. I'm going back to like

453
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 1: old school Dallas sports athletes. But um, so they've got

454
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: some players that will be back to the defense shouldn't

455
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: be as bad. I think that will affect the pass

456
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 1: rush a little bit more than being able to run

457
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: the football. But um, dare I say it that Dion

458
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: Lewis is a must start this week? I agree? I

459
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: think let's start every week. Um, he's He's shown me

460
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: nothing to to shake the faith at all. All right,

461
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 1: let's talk about some other injuries. Uh in Baltimore, how

462
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 1: about Triple s Steve Smith, Senior, Crockylmore. They didn't practice.

463
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: I feel like they got a couple more injuries there

464
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: as well. Oh the Breshard Paraman obviously still dealing with

465
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: that very extensive knee and Jim campanaros on ir you are,

466
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: who's healthy? Come on down? Where is the franchise we're

467
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: talking about? Kamar in the franchise is not in the

468
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: build downstairs grinding out content. He's He's the only one

469
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: in the fantasy stronghold right now. I like that. That

470
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: should mean quite a good workload for Justin Forsett. You

471
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: would think against the talents who can't stop the run.

472
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: But speaking of Kamar quite while we're on it, because

473
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: like he's he's actually a good waiver way to pick

474
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: up this week Harmon and Matt Harmon's Sleeper column. He

475
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: was noticing that when Kamar has actually gotten targets this year,

476
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: he's produced, Like when he's gotten like seven or more targets.

477
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: I think week two he had like eight yards or

478
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: something like that, and then this last week he had

479
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: like seventy and a touch. So I'm really excited to

480
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: see what he could do. I think he can be

481
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: a productive He'll be He'll be a solid volume play

482
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: this week. So if you've got space on your bench,

483
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: pick him up, throw him in as a wide receiver

484
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: three like you could get a good I would love

485
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: to play him in the flex. If I could um

486
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: in a PPR, forget about it. I love the kid um.

487
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: In terms of upside, I'll tell you, I'll give you

488
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: a super deep sleeper. I know he's not ready quite yet,

489
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: but just with all the the depth chart problems they

490
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: have there for pass catchers. Uh, Darren Waller, I know

491
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: I talked about him earlier, but to a big guy

492
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech product. Uh. And and again, when you think

493
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: about Georgia Tech products, you think about Calvin Johnson to

494
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas and as white Darren Waller is built in

495
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: that mold. Obviously not nearly uh as good in terms

496
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: of being able to actually well, you know, catch the

497
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: ball or really run routes. He's still very raw, raw.

498
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: But I tell you what, just the opportunities, what do

499
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: I say, man, opportunity makes kings of assault and and

500
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: for me, I just feel like if he gets the

501
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: opportunity in the red zone, in the red zone, h

502
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: a little law pass from Joe Flacco, Uh, it could

503
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: pay dividends on the other steep an eye on the

504
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: other super deep one is Chris Givens. They traded for

505
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: him former Ram. He's basically only a deep threat, but

506
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: that's something that the team has been sorely lack without

507
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: Tory Smith and without procid of pairman. So I mean,

508
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: if you're in in a sixteen team league and you

509
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: know you got Dez Bryant and like Jody Nelson on

510
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: your on your I R collectively, but I thrill a

511
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: flyer one of those guys. Yeah. Um, the reason I

512
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: really get excited about Darren Waller by the way, Oh,

513
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about this later, but I guess there's

514
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: a James Co drinking game out there, which I'm I

515
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: advocate apparently, Uh, adult beverages are had every single time,

516
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: I say, by the way, by the way, on the

517
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: on the podcast or on this at all. I'm not

518
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: exactly sure, but it's all good. So, by the way,

519
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: Darren Waller, when you look at his combine numbers, they're

520
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: they're fantastic. Anyways, I I encourage people to take a

521
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: look at his combined numbers anyways, And uh, and you

522
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: could see why I am so excited about this deep

523
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: sleeper all right, How about let's talk. Oh well, actually

524
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: we didn't even get to alshon Jeffrey. Still living in practice, man,

525
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of alshon Jeffrey. I

526
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: just flipped him. I just flipped him in our NFL fantasy.

527
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: I've leaked to Adam Rank uh for for Dante Moncrief,

528
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: straight up, straight up, just because I'm tired of dealing

529
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: with the injury reports. I think Rank got you on that, dude. Yeah,

530
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, But that's okay because I

531
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: got Moncrief on my mars and I gotta have him

532
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: on my team. All that didn't march very far. Yeah,

533
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: by the way, here we go again. Three yards uh three,

534
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna put him off pace a little bit. Three

535
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: yards um. So well, like with Alston, they've been keeping

536
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: him out, so he's hopefully healthy healthy, he's been limited.

537
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: I hope he plays this week because he's got a

538
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: phenomenal match up against the Chiefs with the Bears there

539
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: and that the offense got going a little bit with

540
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: with smoking j back in the lineup, but um, gotta

541
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: you gotta keep It's very frustrating right now. You gotta

542
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: hope he's either healthy to play or that they just

543
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: like sen him again and let him get and then

544
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: come back and tear it up. Um. All right, any

545
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 1: other injury news that you guys want to get out

546
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: of the way. I think Julius Thomas was practice, he

547
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: was catching passes. He not ready yet, but if he's

548
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: available in your league, go get him. Julius Thomas could

549
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: be close. He could be very very close. Alright, let's

572
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: no doubt about it all. Let's talk about matchups. That

573
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: excited is Philip Rivers, Knaw and the entire Chargers offense

574
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: taking on the Steelers, who have been anything but the

575
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: steel curtain. They're like the steel sheet right now. Um,

576
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: they're not even steel. It's more like aluminum foil, the

577
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: satin curtain curtain. Yes, uh, where where are we? Uh?

578
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: I know? I think Philip Rivers will start for you. Yes,

579
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, heck yeah, he's in my top five

580
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: this week. Not too many quarterbacks I would have started

581
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: ahead of him, certainly not Brian Hoyer. But the matchup

582
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: is favorable and look at Rivers at home this year,

583
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: averaging over three passing yards over twenty three Fantasy points

584
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: per game. I realized there's question marks about Malcolm Floyd

585
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: and Stevie Johnson. But Antonio Gates is back, Buddy Allen's there,

586
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: and so is Danny Woodhead. So I'm all in on Rivers. Yeah,

587
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that was one that wasn't that didn't make

588
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: it on the list. Here was was Antonio Gates because

589
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: he's back now after his suspension. There are a few

590
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: stronger bromances in the National Football League than Philip Rivers

591
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: and Antonio Gates. My goodness, Philip Rivers loves him, if

592
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: I remember, right though, Fabs, you had, uh Gordon? Was

593
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: he a sit this week? Though? Yes? What was the

594
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: Because I mean, we like the guys in the PA,

595
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: the pieces in the passing game, and think, you know,

596
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: that's why I put Woodhead on here, because I think

597
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: he's get actually not been terrible against the run, and

598
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: I just fear, uh that the Danny Woodhead ravaging of

599
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: backfield touches will continue and red zone touches, right, and

600
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: and that that's really what worries me. Um, you know,

601
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: he scored twenty four point four fantasy points so far

602
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: this year and four you know in four games. Uh,

603
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers have given up fewer than fourteen fantasy points

604
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: to running backs in three of their first four games.

605
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: So to me, I just can't trust him right now.

606
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: I can't play him unless I have no options. Uh.

607
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 1: And it's a starting running back and okay, yeah, I'm

608
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: gonna play him, but the matchup is not good and

609
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: the Danny Woodhead situation is not good either. Marcus Alex,

610
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: I'd love for you guys to chip in on the

611
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: whole Melvin Gordon situation. I see a lot of questions

612
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: on Twitter regarding Melvin Gordon, should play them? Should I

613
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: not play him? Um? You know, Danny Woodhead obviously is

614
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: not um not a star in the NFL. Melvin Gordon's

615
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of star in our hearts, very good points.

616
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: So I guess I'd love to get your take on

617
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: on the whole Melvin Gordon and and less about Danny Woodhead,

618
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: because I think we've talked about Danny Woodhead enough on

619
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: the podcast. We've pumped him up. If you've got him,

620
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: you know, play him in the flex. Be confident if

621
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: you're in a PPR hundred percent playing him. But Melvin Gordon,

622
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: what do we make of his matchup? What do you

623
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: think of him this week? Where do you play him

624
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: at all? I don't think you can play him right now.

625
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm not playing him. I'm not playing him this week.

626
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can play him right now,

627
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: just because he hasn't been consistent. He had one good

628
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: game that was in Week two against the Bengals. He

629
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: had eight eight rushing yards there, but and he was

630
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: picking up chunks. Yeah. Other than that, I mean he's

631
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: not you take that game out. He's not averaging four

632
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: yards of carry's averaging right around you know, three points

633
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: six yards per carriers. So I mean that's not very good.

634
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: And you know, he's still it looks like he's still

635
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: trying to figure things out. And I think more than that,

636
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: he just hasn't earned the trust of Philip Rivers yet

637
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: to be on the field. So I for the time being,

638
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can play him. Uh yeah,

639
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: I think you leave him on your bench because the

640
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: talent is there, it's just he hasn't yet put it together.

641
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: Part part of the trouble is too he is running

642
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: behind Uh the not the greatest offensive line, and that

643
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: that the team is thriving because of Philip rivers head

644
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: and his quick release and getting it out quickly to

645
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and Danny Woodhead, So that that puts a

646
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: damper on Gordon because he's still getting getting into his

647
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: rhythm and he's not getting a lot of holes and

648
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: stuff like that, so that you're gonna have to wait

649
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: and and keep him on the bench until they that

650
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: offense really gets humming and where they need to like

651
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: salt away some leads because that's when they'll put Gordon

652
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: and that's not gonna be Danny Woodheads role. I mean,

653
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: three fifths of their offensive line stuff for injuries last week. Um.

654
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what their status is going into Week five,

655
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: but just know that those guys are dinged up. Um.

656
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: It's it's really it scares me. Um. I know that, Uh,

657
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: I know the Steelers have not been great defensively, but

658
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, man that the the offensive line problems

659
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: there with San Diego, a lot of it just scares me.

660
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: I think Philip Rivers is gonna rely heavily on his

661
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: two tight ends. Ladarius Green will still get work even

662
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: with Antonio Gates in there, and they almost have to. Um,

663
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: they almost have to keep them both in for past protection,

664
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: just because Philip Rivers was getting killed in Week four

665
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: and I don't know how many more of those hits

666
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: he can sustain. Um. I do want to talk about

667
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: the other side of the baub Martevis. Speaking of guys

668
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: coming back, It's like, Uh, Antencho gets on one side,

669
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: Martevis Bryant on the other. Uh. How excited are you

670
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: guys about Martevis Bryant making his return. Give me some

671
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: statistical expectation for the explosive white out for the Steelers.

672
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm truthfully not expecting a huge game on Monday Night.

673
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm excited that he's back, There's no question about that.

674
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: I he's one of the the most fun wide receivers

675
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: in the league to watch for me, just because of

676
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,239
Speaker 1: his skill set. His athleticism is speed. Um, he's got

677
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: really good hands. You look at the numbers, though, and

678
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: you know me, I'm all about the numbers. Um. San

679
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: Diego's past defense has been really good this year if

680
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: you're looking at wide receivers, third few Spantasy points allowed

681
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: to the position, and Ben Roethlisberger is not the quarterback.

682
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: When Roethlispurger comes back, I'm gonna be a heck of

683
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: a lot more excited about Martavis Bryant. In fact, he

684
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: would be somebody that in the next couple of weeks

685
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: i'd probably try to trade four. Then how you probably

686
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to give up a whole much to get

687
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: a whole lot to get him either. So he's someone

688
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: that I would target. He's not someone I would start

689
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: unless I am hurting it wide out. Maybe he's a

690
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: three or flex, but I don't know that he's a

691
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: must start this week. I I think I'm kind of

692
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, not a must start this week.

693
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I wouldn't be surprised if he dropped one

694
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: tent and a touch on him. But I also wouldn't

695
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: be surprised if he had a three for thirty two.

696
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: You know, I only see him with like three catches,

697
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: but I do think it's more of the three with

698
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: one tenant touch because I just see Mike Vick going

699
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: back and launching a couple of yolo balls and letting

700
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant go get it. So it may not be

701
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: a great PPR game, but he's a home run hitter,

702
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: and I think you know, with him back on the field,

703
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: I expect the Steelers to swing for the fence as

704
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: a couple. It's one of those situations where if you're

705
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: looking at your lineup and you've got either like him

706
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: or I don't know, like maybe Marvin Jones, Marvin Jones

707
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: type in your flex where Jones might have the safer floor.

708
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: But if you think you need that little extra boost

709
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: to win your matchup, go with Martevis. I'm all in.

710
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm all in, baby, give me some Martavis Bryant. It's

711
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: like you said, Man, he's gonna throw up some yolo balls.

712
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: All good. Uh, he get a he get a little

713
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: bubble screen to take him to the house. I don't

714
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: know what it is, but I'll tell you what, man,

715
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm all in. I'm excited to see Martavis Bryant, absolutely

716
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: excited to see him. And you know what, having mar

717
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: Tavis Bryant out there will absolutely help Antonio Brown as well.

718
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 1: You just can't roll that coverage as much, especially deep

719
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: on it. You're telling me dh B is not not

720
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: commanding cover defenses, which, by the way, so last week

721
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: I was I was with some friends watching the watching

722
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 1: the Steelers play on Thursday night and with a couple

723
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: of friends who are big time Raider fans, and they

724
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: were cursing Darius Heyward Bay every time he made a camp.

725
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: Where was that three years ago? Well, look, when you

726
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: have Matt mcgloyn throwing you the ball, it's hard to

727
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 1: produce man. So, uh, let's let's everyone calm down there.

728
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 1: Uh in Raider Nation? Alright? How about with the Giants

729
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: they take on the San Francisco forty Niners, and uh,

730
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: we anticipate Eli Manning and O b J to have

731
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: pretty solid afternoons. Yes, uh yeah, I am. You know,

732
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: as Alex was mentioning, we we read our game previews

733
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: and we talk about the these fantasy relevant player and

734
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: I previewed this game and basically my write up about

735
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: oh b J consisted of even really good secondaries have

736
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,959
Speaker 1: a tough time slowing him down. The forty Niners don't

737
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: have a really good secondary, So you can do the

738
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: math on that one. Are there any running backs we like? Any?

739
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe lows Hide in this game? But the matchup

740
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: is good. The the the issue with low Hide is

741
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: offensive line off behind just abandoning the run. But I

742
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: would still play him as an RB two. You can't reflect,

743
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: you can't not play him. I think the town. I

744
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: think the talent levels too high. You know what's funny

745
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: is that after the first week of the season, you

746
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: would have thought that Carlos Hide was the best fantasy

747
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: running back of all time. Absolutely, I've traded Jamal Charles

748
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: for him. Now he's regretted into what we thought he

749
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: was gonna be a talented guy on a bad team

750
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: who doesn't necessarily play three downs. Yeah, you know, it's both.

751
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: It's both sad and like reassuring that we did all

752
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: this work and we're like, man, we love Los Hide,

753
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: but we think everything's gonna be stacked against him. And

754
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: then a week when he goes bananas and we're like,

755
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: our a bunch of idiots. And then these last three

756
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: groups were like, oh okay, the process was the process

757
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: was fine, we had it right, Let's calm down. I

758
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: think if you have Carlos Hide, you can't not play him.

759
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to find a good, good flex

760
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: spot this week. For me, for sure, I think I

761
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: still have him as a as a high upside RB

762
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: two because he just needs to break one, like to

763
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: justify the start. But if you're not, I mean, there's

764
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: no one who's a flex level player that I would

765
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: play over Carlos Hide, and in the stand was going

766
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: to say standard le Dean Lewis Lewis, I mean, Dean

767
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: Lewis is absolutely graduated. Two must start RB two status

768
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: must start. I'm saying flex level Danny Woodhead. I'd start

769
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 1: wood Head over Hide. Oh man, I almost almost flashed

770
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: back and said gore for a second. Therasy, Yeah, I'd

771
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: start one Head over Hide. I think he's got a

772
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: much safer production level non PPR, even non PPRNR. It's

773
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: like the fifteen highest score Fantasy bag or something. Right now,

774
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: I'd go and Hide. I like the matchup this week.

775
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: The Giants are giving up what twenty Fantasy points the game,

776
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: the running backs, I would I would go with Hide. Still,

777
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: I was trying to I was trying to look at

778
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: the schedule and see if there were some other guys

779
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: in that wheelhouse we toss out. But yeah, that's so

780
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: he's good. He's try and get them in your line

781
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: of Like if I had Carlos Hide and Martevios Bryant.

782
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: I love Martevios Bryant, but close. I'm still starting Carlos.

783
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and alright, um, Chris Thompson versus the E

784
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: T L great matchup. I would assume here it does.

785
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: And you know, Marcus all week on NFL Fantasy Live

786
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: has been giving up some great stats on the fact

787
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: that Atlanta has really struggled against versatile, shifty pass catch

788
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: running backs. Um, you know, Lance Dunbar had a big

789
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: game during Sprowls. Who at Shane Verreen was so kudos

790
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: to Marcos on market Marcus on Marcus, I am hurting today, man,

791
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: Like I'm you know, Marcos, you know what that was.

792
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 1: That was Miguel Fabriano coming out this week like has

793
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 1: been so brutal for me between work stuff and other stuff,

794
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: and my mind is just shot. So Marcus, I apologize

795
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: for that, but I am trying to give you kudos

796
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: for digging up that stat because Chris Thompson has big

797
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: time PPR sleeper value. This week, we're totally dragging this

798
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: into the INFO Fantasy Live show. By the we are

799
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: going to Marcos. I wish I had like a nice

800
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 1: like Flamenco sort a guitar thing over here, your Fabriano.

801
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: What else can we do? No? That's what we're gonna have.

802
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Marcos and Miguel are wearing like those

803
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: that like this. You guys just both need fake mustache.

804
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: We are the most interesting in fantasy example, hold on him.

805
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: We've got second. For those of you listening on the podcast,

806
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: that's breaking news alert. Where's the we need a breaking

807
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: news sound people alert Marco. We have just come off

808
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: that NFL Fantasy Live segment. And by the way, people

809
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: might say, well, that's that's dumb, that's stupid. Of course

810
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: it is show we did trying to have some fun.

811
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: We have promos of Marcus smashing a computer like office space.

812
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what we know. What one was the

813
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: probably the peak weirdness in the last couple of years.

814
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: And when you guys did the fantasy like romance novels,

815
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: it might it might have been the year before you

816
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: it was two years ago. We did that for National

817
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: Authors Month, I believe, or it was like like National

818
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: Poets Day, like some fantasy book reviews, right, uh, the

819
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: I think the crowning achievement was Eddie. Eddie Lacy one

820
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: was hilarious Lacy, very fabio like with no shirt on

821
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: and his his locks flowing. Was that, by the way,

822
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: said you can't see what's going on right now? Marcus

823
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: Grant maybe Marcos Grant too is wearing a Han Solo

824
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: T shirt, which is very cool. And if you're a

825
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: Star Wars dork like we all are. And if you're

826
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: a Cowboys fan like I am, you can go on

827
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: NFL shop and they actually have Cowboys Star Wars T shirts?

828
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: Do they for today? For other teams? I didn't look it.

829
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: I didn't look, but I've got two in the mail.

830
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: One of them is like Yoda's head um and uh.

831
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: The other one is Darth Vader with Dallas Cowboys. That's awesome.

832
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: It's fabs everything in Fab's world. I will be if

833
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: if it comes in in time for NFL now on Sunday,

834
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,919
Speaker 1: I will be wearing unless it was Dart like Darth

835
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: Vader fighting Rocky and they were all wearing Cowboys. Just

836
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: checking it, it appears that it's only for the Dallas

837
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: count Yeah. I know that, I know that I got

838
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: this one's coming and I got that one coming too.

839
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: I do know that they exist for USC and I

840
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: can't speak to other nfls. Is that as enjoyable as

841
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: this is? We should probably get back to some matchups.

842
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: That was quite the tangent. Sorry, let I'll tell you guys,

843
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: my brain is just fried right now, so I'm just

844
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: lying by the seat of my pills and all right.

845
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 1: So it was a productive tangent though. Absolutely, MG. Give

846
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: him Chris Thompson, you love him obviously against the Falcons.

847
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson has been, you know, very up and down.

848
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: But but give a case as to why you was

849
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: starting in the flesh. Well, I mean he makes his

850
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: living catching passes. I mean that that is what he

851
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: has done so far for Washington. And you know the

852
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: FABS is talking about the numbers. Uh, it's something like

853
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: Darren sprowls with seven catches seventy six yards, Shane Verene

854
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: eight catches seventy six yards, Lanson dunbar the tin for

855
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: a hundred. I really look at Chris Thompson this week

856
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: and I feel like his baseline seven catches seventy five yards,

857
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: that's the baseline for Chris Thompson. That's a solid PPR

858
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: day he gets into the end zone your loving life.

859
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: He's also out snapped both Morris and Jones lately, like

860
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: for him or something like that. Yeah, well, I mean

861
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: I assume a lot of that has to do with

862
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: game flow, right, so I mean totally is and if

863
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: they're doing passing us. But that's that's another reason why

864
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: I like the Atlanta offense is very good. They could

865
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,919
Speaker 1: probably get up on Washington and then if they're playing

866
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: catch up, they're gonna be needing to be shocked if

867
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: they don't build some kind a ten point right. So

868
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: that's that's why it's all stacking up. Watch Christ Thompson's

869
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: gonna have one catch for six stars this week. But

870
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: it's funny though we should we should really like like

871
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: check out the percentages uh successful and failed predictions when

872
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,919
Speaker 1: almost everyone loves the guy, Like so Carlos Williams last week, Okay,

873
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: everybody loved him. He had that touchdown, he was okay,

874
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: but like it was looking bad for a while there.

875
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: There are like we all all of a sudden love

876
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: the Houston Texas defense last night and they just absolutely stunk.

877
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: We all like Derek carl the week before against Chicago

878
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: and he did not have a good game. So that

879
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: to me is that it's I'm telling you, up there

880
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: in the sky, the fantasy gods are looking down and

881
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 1: they're saying, you think you know what you're talking about,

882
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: but you don't know what you're talking about watching this.

883
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: But put the stats Maven's on it. We should do that, dude. Um.

884
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson, Uh is a sneaky good DFS play from

885
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: what Yeah? Because those are all PPR so exactly you

886
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: can stick him in the flex there. I like it.

887
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna go with him in DFS. You've sold me,

888
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, good job, all right? Uh. Kansas City taken

889
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: on the Chicago Bears. Interesting matchup, especially for pass catchers.

890
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 1: I believe Jeremy Macklin. We we had a hearty debate

891
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,399
Speaker 1: about Jerry mcmaclin. Trade away trade four Um, and we'll

892
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: start with our senior fancy analyst, Michael Fabiano. You say

893
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: trade away, trade away Macklin. Yes, his his value is

894
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: extremely high right now. I'm fifty on him. Right The

895
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: first two weeks he stunk. The last two weeks has

896
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: been very good, and I think he's gonna have a

897
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: good game this week because the Bears defense is no bueno.

898
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: But I just don't see it continuing. The last two

899
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: weeks have been very great, very good. Um, But I

900
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be inconsistencies, as we've already seen from him,

901
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: good games too bad games. So I'd be trying to

902
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: trade him now while his value is high and you

903
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: can probably get something pretty good for him. At this point,

904
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: you could probably get a pretty good player for him.

905
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it almost sounds like, hey,

906
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: playing versus Chicago and then trade him, yes, even better?

907
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: What what what level of player are you moving for

908
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: Jeremy mcin He's clearly in the wide receiver if he

909
00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: goes if he goes out and has a hundred in

910
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: the touched down against Chicago when you're looking at a

911
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: three game stretch where he's one of the best wide

912
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: receivers in fantasy, dude, I'm you know me, I'm going

913
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 1: after the big names, Dude. I'm going after a guy

914
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: for example, like maybe Marshawn Lynch because people are worried

915
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: about him. You may be able to get him on

916
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: the cheap. I'd trade him for Andrew Luck in a

917
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: potential package something like that. You know, it's just just

918
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: good advice to shoot for the moon. Of course, it's like,

919
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: what's the words that's gonna happen? They're gonna say no

920
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: and then okay, well what about this. It's not like

921
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: they say no and you're like, well, that's never gonna happen. Like,

922
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: don't throw out a good player for a bad player,

923
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: and that's always what happens, people getting mad that you're

924
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: trying to rob. Don't don't be that guy, not like

925
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: not insane, don't like try and flip you know, Jeremy

926
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: Macklin for ers. That's what I'm saying, don't be that

927
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 1: but like like shoot for the moon, you know, throw

928
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: him out there and see if you can get I

929
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: don't know him, Yeah, sure, sure, I mean I look

930
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: in one league. I actually I traded for Jeremy mac

931
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: because I'm on the side go get him. You know.

932
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 1: I traded for Joseph Randel. You know's a team where

933
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: I've got some running back depth, so I could afford

934
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: to lose a guy, and so Joe Randall for for

935
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: Jeremy mack I gave up Joe Randall got I'm on that.

936
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm big on him, you know, I I see, I

937
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: see what's going on with this team the last two

938
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: weeks twenty four targets. They look like they're trying to

939
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: feed him and and they're moving him around. They're trying

940
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: to get him in space because the fact of the

941
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: matter is if you play for for an Alex Smith

942
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: quarterback team, then you are going to have to get

943
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: yards after the catch. So they're they're brying him in

944
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: space and allowing him to be able to run with

945
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: the football. And I don't know, I'm encouraged by what

946
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: I Also in regards to Joe Randall, he has very

947
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: quietly entered the joke bell zone. His last two carrious

948
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 1: have only gone for but at least he's getting into

949
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: the end. Let me let me say this though, um

950
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: on paper, I think a lot of I think a

951
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: lot of folks would say I would much rather have

952
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: Joe Randall, who plays running back, over Jeremy mcklin. I

953
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: think a lot of folks would say that. But Alex,

954
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: you seem very confident that Jeremy, that that Marcus came

955
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: up on this trade. I do. I've been trying. I've

956
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: been telling people in the Trade Calls column, I have

957
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: to write every week to get rid of Randall while

958
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: he's hot. Like he had his three touchdown game and

959
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: I was like, now is the time, like ship him off?

960
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: Get him out of there. Because even with no Lance Dunbar,

961
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: even with no Lance Dunbar, Darren McFadden some more snaps,

962
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: Chris and Michael probably see more snaps. It's that they

963
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: he has, you know, like they're not left some meat

964
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: on the bone as well. And uh, he got he

965
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: got into the doghouse in that last game because they

966
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: had told him don't extend the football over the goal

967
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: line and he all he lost the football doing that.

968
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: Thankfully he crossed the goal line before he did. But

969
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett and company, they were not happy with that. Uh,

970
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: he's he's definitely in a committee, as they told us

971
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: the entire off season. So that's why, like you need

972
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: to parlay that three touchdown game, and but is he

973
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: in a committee? Look at the numbers? Look at the

974
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: backfield touches? He he had like no touches after that

975
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: fumble with that was with Dunbar out Like they're gonna

976
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna continue to rotate it around. But see, I

977
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: just I think I'm on the same wavelength as James

978
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: here is there. I think the touches are going to

979
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: be there for him. He's clearly the best back in

980
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: that in that locker room. I mean, he's clearly the best.

981
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: You keep trying to make fetch happen, and that's just

982
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: not I mean, the Cowboys keep saying just flat out

983
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: that it's a committee system playing it all off. Yeah,

984
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: but I think I think what fabs are saying, though,

985
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,479
Speaker 1: is that the snap count percentages don't necessarily tell that story.

986
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: And and I would say this if and you guys

987
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: know me, I was in the preseason saying Darren mcfann

988
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: will win this job later in the season. Early on,

989
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Joe Randall. Later in the season, it's

990
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: gonna be Darren McFadden. And I think that still could

991
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: be the case. But boy, I'll tell you what, um,

992
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden hasn't really shown much. He looks better than

993
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: just Randle recently. Might be true, he's been he's been

994
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 1: in that last game, certainly, But boy, those first two weeks,

995
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 1: it was hard to trust Darren mcfaann. Right now, you've

996
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: got Randle at fifty nine carries. McFadden's got thirty two,

997
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,879
Speaker 1: and that's with Rendal getting benched for a half last week,

998
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: uh six to three in terms of touch, in terms

999
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: of receptions, so you're looking at sixty five to thirty five,

1000
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: and I think that starts evening out more though now

1001
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: or or Christen Michael gets a min and I think

1002
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: that's where Gus Johnson likes john practice squad. He's healthy

1003
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: now he's just on the practice squad. Oh boy. Anyways,

1004
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 1: it's a very it's a it's a backfield, no question.

1005
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: We are keeping a very close eye on Alex Gelhart

1006
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: and Marcus Grant seemed to project forward and and and

1007
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: looking at Joe Randall looking losing some touches. Michael Fabiana says, hey,

1008
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: Joe Randall is still the man and kids still produce.

1009
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about some matchups. That's scarce here.

1010
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley really, I mean just exploded in what was

1011
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: it one quarter? Really? Uh football? Uh? Do we trust

1012
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: him now versus the Packers? Well, he had a great

1013
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: game against a great run defense last week. The UM

1014
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: I guess the raining wheels are off now. Uh, Fisher

1015
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 1: has taken the training wheels off to me, Girley. I

1016
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: have him ranked right in the RB one RB two

1017
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: borderline territory and regardless of the matchup, I'm going to

1018
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 1: play this guy. We have heard so many great things

1019
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: about him. He comes from a running back factory in Georgia,

1020
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: and he looked good that he didn't look like it

1021
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: was any kind of problem at all. He will have

1022
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: another test on his hands. Green Bay is very good

1023
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: against the run, especially against running backs. But I certainly

1024
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: would not be second guessing UH starting him, even though

1025
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: the matchup is not that you know. I think that

1026
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: the reason I put him on here too is because

1027
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: I have him ranked highly as well, because he's very

1028
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: talented and appears he's he has won this backfield handedly. However,

1029
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: the last the last three backs the Packers have faced,

1030
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: UH Marshall Lynch forty one yards, Jamal Charles forty seven yards,

1031
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide twenty yards. If Jamal Charles doesn't getting the

1032
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 1: ends on three times, the Packers look even scarier against

1033
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: the run. UH. Their defense has been rejuvenated, like having

1034
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: b J. Rashie back in the middle. Mike Daniels is

1035
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: playing out of his mind and they're at home and

1036
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: it's the Packers, That's what I'm saying. They're probably going

1037
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: to get up. So yeah, I mean, we talked about

1038
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: game flow all the time. You're talking about game flow

1039
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,439
Speaker 1: all the time. Um, if the Packers go up three

1040
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: on the Rams, which is not out of the realm,

1041
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:20,439
Speaker 1: it's just so hard, it's hard to project. Is crazy.

1042
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 1: The NFL is insane. I love I mean, and that's

1043
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: what is so fun. It's like it's like which Rams

1044
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,439
Speaker 1: team is going to show up? The one that beats

1045
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: Seattle or the one that that scored. Like what I'm saying,

1046
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm starting I'm starting him in the league.

1047
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not fired up about it because I

1048
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: do worry that this thing could go wrong. You know,

1049
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: they gotta start him, You start him. I mean, you know,

1050
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: he could have a huge day like you did last week.

1051
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,479
Speaker 1: He could come back with you know, fifty three yards

1052
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: you know who. Who knows. But I'm taking the chance

1053
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: and I'm putting them in my life. It's one good quarter.

1054
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: That's what makes me worried. It's not like they fed

1055
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: him early and he was just gashing the Cardinals early

1056
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: and often. Uh, they got him late. It's true. I

1057
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: mean they put him in at the end of an

1058
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: old fashioned slobber knocker to use that term, where these

1059
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: these two teams and Jr. His teams have been duking

1060
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: it out for a while. So but he's he's supremely talented,

1061
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: so unbelievably we're starting him. But it's just beat be

1062
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: a little leary. Alright, how about the Raiders versus the

1063
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: Broncos Amari Cooper on very high alert. I know he's

1064
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: a sit for you. Michael Fabiano explained, Well, he's a

1065
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: sit as long as you have some other options at

1066
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers. So for example, uh, if Cooper was drafted

1067
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: to be your two or year three, you landed Larry

1068
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald at some point later in the draft, and your

1069
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: first pick at wide receiver was any of the elite guys,

1070
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 1: oh b J Reynal Cobbs, someone like that, and you

1071
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: only start two wide receivers, then you know I'm sitting Cooper.

1072
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 1: I don't even have him in my top fifteen this week.

1073
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: I believe he's out of my top twenty as well.

1074
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: At wide receiver. I'm in a league where I have

1075
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: to play him. I have a three wide receiver reflects league.

1076
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm playing him because, well, it's gonna be hard to

1077
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: find someone that I can justify starting ahead of them

1078
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: based on talent alone. But look at Denver's defense. I

1079
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: mean they're giving up nothing. They've given up one wide

1080
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: receiver touchdown all year long. Keep Talib has played very well.

1081
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson didn't do hardly anything against Denver. Uh And listen,

1082
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 1: this this is a this is a team whose defense

1083
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: has been better than their offense, which is yeah, that's

1084
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning led team. So if you have that depth,

1085
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 1: you know, don't come back at me and said I

1086
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: started Alan Hearn's over Amari Cooper. You're an idiot, that's

1087
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: not crazy. Stop it, Okay, but be aware of this

1088
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: matchup right, there is some hope. I mean, Stefan digs

1089
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: a much rare rookie than Amari Cooper roasted a key

1090
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: to leave last week for the Vikings. So with Cooper's

1091
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: skill set and being such a proficient route run and stuff,

1092
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: he could very easily get open and get some nice volume.

1093
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: But that is a dynamite defense, So you have to

1094
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: be scared. Yeah, And and it's it's it's not even

1095
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: so much. Well, it is partially that you know the

1096
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: secondary there with Harrison and to leave on the back end,

1097
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 1: but the fact that they're getting out for the quarterback

1098
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: up front. I mean, we've seen von Miller DeMarcus where

1099
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: Marcus league leader in Sax right now, I mean they

1100
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: are really getting after quarterbacks, which makes it hard if

1101
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: you are Derek Car, if you're any quarterback to you know,

1102
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: to find time to get the ball to your receiver downfield.

1103
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: So my my fear is you're gonna have Derek Carr

1104
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: running for his life. And that that's the one big

1105
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: knock on Cars. As much as I like the guy, um,

1106
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: in the face of pressure, he really tends to struggle,

1107
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: and so if if the Broncos can start to make

1108
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,800
Speaker 1: him feel uncomfortable in the pocket, it's gonna be a

1109
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: rough day, all right, Um, any one of the Broncos that, uh,

1110
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I assume you're you're starting all your Broncos.

1111
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: It's funny because it's like, baby, remember I remember a

1112
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: time when I couldn't justify putting Peyton Manning and start

1113
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 1: him and said him because he was just too damn obvious.

1114
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: Now he's twenty three Fantasy points on quarterbacks quarterbacks and

1115
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: more points than him. Uh, Bar is gonna be eating

1116
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: maggots on the show at some point because he's got

1117
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: no shot at going for forty two touchdowns. But this

1118
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: is a week where you trust Peyton Manning. The Raiders

1119
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: have given up an average of almost twenty Fantasy points

1120
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,399
Speaker 1: per game UH nineteen point three, which is fifth most.

1121
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: And even though Peyton is not Peyton anymore, which is

1122
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: kind of what a lot of us expected, when the

1123
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 1: matchup is good, you gotta get him in there. I

1124
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 1: like both the Manning brothers this week. But you're starting Peyton,

1125
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: you're starting Sanders, You're starting Marius Thomas. Obviously, Alex said

1126
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: you're starting Owen Daniels as a one week fill in

1127
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: because of the Raiders defense. But which running back are

1128
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: you starting? If any I have C J. Anderson bench,

1129
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: I would play Hillman as a flex over c J.

1130
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,479
Speaker 1: Anderson if I had to choose between this not touching it, Yeah,

1131
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean basically I was looking at it. C J.

1132
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,720
Speaker 1: Anderson and Ronnie Hulman's numbers are essentially the same except

1133
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: for one seventy two yard touchdown run. If Hilman doesn't

1134
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: have that touchdown run, their numbers are are eerily similar. Well,

1135
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: he still had that touchdown, still did so, but it's

1136
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: not like c J. Anderson did it. Um, Yeah, I'm

1137
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 1: not touching that back field speeding backfields are not touching

1138
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: the rest of the Washington backfield. True, anybody not named

1139
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson. Watch watch Morris go nuts this watch Atlanta's

1140
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: defense stinks against the run. They're terrible, the worst one

1141
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: in the entire league from a fantasy perspective. And it

1142
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: stinks because, like I have Morris in our Fantasy Live,

1143
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: I can't play him. I can't And he's gonna have

1144
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: eighteen because it's so bad. Watch watch like Morris get

1145
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: hot and Gruden go all Shanahan, Shanahan agains on us

1146
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: and sits Matt Jones on the bench. They bring in

1147
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,280
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson on third downs and it's the Morrison Thompson

1148
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: Show and everyone's got Morris on their bench. Morris hundred

1149
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: yards two touchdowns? Is that what we're looking at? Her?

1150
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: Get out of here. Uh, let's talk about Tampa Bay

1151
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: versus the Jaguars. Doug Martin versus the Jags. He had

1152
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: a great Week four. Do we trust him to repeat

1153
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: that performance against the Jacks? I don't. I want him to.

1154
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 1: Marcus depressed, I totally do, Like I you know, I

1155
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: know that obviously the Buccaneers have invested a lot in

1156
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, but it hurts to watch him drop back

1157
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: and throw the ball thirty times the other team to

1158
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: the other team, you know, And I am all four

1159
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: bringing quarterbacks along slowly. I mean, we've got this guy

1160
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: under contract for what four years, the option for a fifth.

1161
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: There's no need to try to make him the centerpiece

1162
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,800
Speaker 1: of the offense right now. Let him you allow the

1163
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: running backs to do some work, because I feel like

1164
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: Doug volume. Doug Martin is a volume guy. If he

1165
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,800
Speaker 1: hadn't get twenty touches, he can give you nice production.

1166
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: But instead they're gonna let you know, Jamie's dropped back

1167
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: throw it thirty five times. You know, you know, you

1168
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: have to live with the four picks and maybe a

1169
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,919
Speaker 1: couple of fumbles, and it's just it crushes. And also,

1170
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: take a look at the matchup. You think Jaguar as

1171
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: you think, gah, their defense isn't really that good. But

1172
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: they've given up fewer than twelve and a half fantasy

1173
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: points to running backs in three or four games this year,

1174
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: so it's not as bad as y'all think it is.

1175
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: The Jaguars defense has actually been pretty tough against runners.

1176
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about twelve and a half per

1177
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: game to the number one running back on an opposing team.

1178
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm talking about every running back, right, Isaiah crow Well,

1179
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson versus Baltimore. Baltimore famously has done very well

1180
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: against running backs. Opposing running backs, Um, I assume Isaiah

1181
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: crow Well is a sit for most everybody unless you're

1182
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, obviously desperate at that position. But what about

1183
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson. It uh, he's got an interesting skill set.

1184
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: At least they're finally using it too. He had like

1185
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: two passing targets the first three week two weeks of

1186
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: the year, and then he got seventeen over the last

1187
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: two and PPR leagues. I don't mind Duke Johnson has

1188
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: a flex at all this week because how many now,

1189
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: I agree with you, in week four, like eight or

1190
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: nine in week fort nine, I think, I think that's

1191
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 1: a crazy amount of receptions. Yeah, he has. He has

1192
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: fifteen catches on seventeen targets I think in the last

1193
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: and you know what it was, one of the most

1194
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 1: impressive ones was where I mean he was lined up

1195
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: in the slot and he just go route boom gone,

1196
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: and you know mccon dropped the pass right into it

1197
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: on that type that that's like a wide receiver. I

1198
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: mean that he's talented. He's really talented, and I think

1199
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: he's more than a Giovanni Bernard type. I think he

1200
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: could actually end up being at some point in his

1201
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: career like more of a featured back. Not a guy

1202
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: who's going to carry it three hundred times, but certainly

1203
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: a guy who can give you three plus touches in

1204
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: the season. Um So, Duke Johnson a start at the

1205
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: flex p well sit unless you yeah concerned about the

1206
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: last year two games against the Ravens, sixty one touchdowns,

1207
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: any other matchups that you want to hit Alex gilhar

1208
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: Pierre garsone in that Washington game should see a lot

1209
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: of volume. But you gotta get gotta be worried he's

1210
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: gonna get the Desmond Truffont treatment. And he has just

1211
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: been erasing. Sean Jackson coming back not yet sound like

1212
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: I was. I was trying to research around and from

1213
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: what I could tell, he's he's not quite back yet.

1214
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: He did individual work this week in practice, so maybe

1215
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: next week, but I think he's out for this one sneaky,

1216
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: super deep play. I think this is one of your

1217
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: danger zone picks. Derek Carrier though, Yeah, Bunny, they traded

1218
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: for him because their tight ends have just evaporated from

1219
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: the Washington roster. And if Jordan Reed sits that it

1220
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: sounds like Derek Carry is going to have a could

1221
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,959
Speaker 1: have a ton of targets, they should have called. Again.

1222
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 1: I talked about I talked about combine numbers and pro

1223
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: day numbers all day long, and and rightfully so, because

1224
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: if you have no game tape on a guy, what

1225
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: else can you really go on? But Derek Carrier is

1226
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: an unbelievable, very good athletes six four to forty at

1227
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: his pro day. Uh. He went to Beloit College. Beloit College,

1228
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: small school in the home state of the whiz Kid

1229
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. Uh. If he played basketball there, he's six

1230
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: four two forty. He ran a four five forty. A

1231
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: four five forty for a tight end is crazy fast. Uh.

1232
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: And by the way, he played basketball at a small

1233
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 1: school and now he's playing tight end that's never worked,

1234
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: and that's never worked in the NFL. Uh. Yeah, So

1235
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot to like about Derrick Carey. He couldn't

1236
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: see in the field because they were monetarily and philosophically

1237
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: invested in a few other tight ends, but now that

1238
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: it's his time to shine, and with no DeShawn Jackson

1239
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: out there, they're gonna have to throw it to somebody.

1240
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: Could he could see a ton of targets. I think

1241
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna see a ton. I've actually got him, uh

1242
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: in my tight end position in a war teen team

1243
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: standard league. There you go, um, and I feel really

1244
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: good about it. I feel really really good to see

1245
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: how you feel on Sunday. Then zone has been has

1246
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: been on point, has been good. You know what I

1247
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: wish I had? I was just playing danger zone. Guys.

1248
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing so bad in my regular in my two

1249
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: various leagues that I take very seriously. I'm doing so bad.

1250
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm owing for in one league because I had I

1251
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: was invested in des Bryant didn't work out too well.

1252
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: And in my other league, I was invested heavily into

1253
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck that also did not work out not so

1254
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: much too well. Alright, that was I'm really we should

1255
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 1: do daily DAPs. But I'm really looking forward to as

1256

01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,800

1267
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: game a cult hit, got funded. They've made a sequel

Speaker 1: They've added Tommy. So we're gonna go tonight. We'll have

Speaker 1: waiting for this for months. It's going to be terror

1273
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: bad and I'm so fired up about it. The trailer

1274
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: looks amazing. Just google Samurai Cop to trailer and just

1275
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,560

01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know where this is a Please fire

1278
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: that up. Okay, I will I will try in the meantime,

1279
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: I guess I see because it's it's good that I

1280
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: had a second DAP in my back pocket, because I

1281
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: had a feeling that this is where that was where

1282
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 1: Alex Gelhard was gonna go with this. Um. Look, I

1283
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: want to give adapt to Gatorade coolers. It's been a

1284
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: rough week. It has been a rough week for Gatorade cooler's.

1285
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: First on Wednesday night, you had the wild card game

1286
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: in the National League between the Pirates and the Cubs.

1287
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: And after that weird bench clearing stair down between the

1288
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: two teams, Sean Rodriguez for the Pirates goes back in

1289
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: the dugout and decides to go, you know, Mike Tyson

1290
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 1: on a cooler and start punching it left and right.

1291
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: Generally not a good call. That really a good call, um.

1292
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 1: And then on Thursday night in in the NFL game,

1293
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: you know you have the Texans and Colts. Arian Foster

1294
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: had that we you know, he got hurt, left, brought

1295
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: himself back in, then was taken out and then you

1296
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: see the shot of him on the sideline grab being

1297
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: several Gatorade cups and snatching them and throwing them down

1298
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: to the ground. Look, guys, I mean, I know you're upset,

1299
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: but but you know, Gatorade cooler's lives matter. I don't

1300
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: understand what's going on here. So I just want to

1301
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 1: give adapt to to Gatorade coolers because you know, they

1302
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: didn't do it. They didn't do anything to deserve this.

1303
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: They just trying to do the job. Just keep you hydrated, refreshment, hydration,

1304
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: that's all they want to do. Gatorade loves it too,

1305
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: when when these guys just lose it on their product.

1306
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: The baseball one was the saddest professional sport it was.

1307
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: It was so sad. Miguel Fabiano, give me a dap.
