Not 6 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: it was a series win, but you got to take 7 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: out your hated rivals at Philadelphia Phillies. 8 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: All the same time, Oh my god, I saw so 9 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 2: many Phillies fans before this series being like we want 10 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 2: the Mets, same old Mets, little brother Mets, like disrespecting 11 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 2: this team. 12 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 3: You wanted the Mets. You got what you asked for, 13 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 3: And now I'm seeing a narrative like the fan base 14 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 3: deserves better. No, you don't. You boot your players in 15 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 3: their only playoff win this year. You got exactly what 16 00:00:59,280 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 3: you deserve. 17 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: I love I love Mets Phillies heat like it's the greatest, 18 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: It's so great, it's so funny. But so the Mets 19 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: through the Nation League Championship series. We will wait to see. 20 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: I wait for you guys too. Look the Didger just 21 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: pulled one out. They got a big game five coming 22 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: on Friday nights, so we'll find out how things go. 23 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: I'm just happy that they're still alive. They're still playing. 24 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: That's all I care about. All Right, let's talk to 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: fantasy football, because we are gonna do it through our 26 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: Week six calls, and also, you know, the guys who 27 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: were up, the guys who were down, that sort of thing. 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: But I was gonna start with a few fantasy headlines 29 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: as well. All three real revolving around wide receivers. All 30 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: three kind of concerning. First one, Nico Collins on injured 31 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: reserve or a hamstring injury that means he is out 32 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: for at least the next four weeks. Lakwan, Does this 33 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: mean it's Tank Dell season? I'm not quite sure. 34 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 4: Man. We haven't really seen Tank Dell be itself, and 35 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 4: I think it might be the injury that's kind of 36 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 4: slowing him down on his routes and production. But you're 37 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 4: hoping that he can step up, you know, in light 38 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 4: of Nico Collins being out, it just has not been 39 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 4: fun starting him. So it's one of those things that 40 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 4: you're hoping fingers cross, but who knows what happens. 41 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: Does this mean the Floyo that it's maybe Dalton Schultz season. 42 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 3: I have both Tank Dell and Dalton Schultz as sits 43 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 3: in stardhom sit him this week because I agree with Lakwan. 44 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: I think it for Tank Dell it's injury related. Let's 45 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 3: also not forget he got shot in the offseason which 46 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: delayed his rehab process. And then for Dalton Schultz, there's 47 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 3: potential there for him to do something, but I want 48 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 3: to see it first with both of these players, because 49 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 3: even last week when Nico Collins left early, he had 50 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 3: thirty four yards in a good matchup. So this is 51 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 3: a game where I don't know if the Texans will 52 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 3: have to throw a bunch. I kind of want to 53 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: look Adam to your roster if you want. If they 54 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 3: play well, you could start him next week. For Schultz, 55 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 3: Dell's already on rosters, but you know. 56 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: What I'm saying. 57 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 4: Some was also concerning to see Xavier Hutchinson outsnap him 58 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 4: last week as well, Like what was that about? And 59 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 4: likek didn't see his first target until Nico Collins went 60 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 4: out of the game, So what is happening? 61 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, weird times in Houston for sure. 62 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: More wide receiver news in the AFC South, Michael Pickman 63 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: with a back injury out for multiple weeks. There is 64 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: some talk that he could end up on injured reserve. 65 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: As of us doing this show, he has not been there, 66 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: but we'll see what happens. Florida looks it's been hit 67 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: or miss. I mean, the success or failure of the 68 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: Colts wide receivers has depended on who is at quarterback. 69 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: At some point we're getting Anthony Richardson back. Is it 70 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: just Alec Pierce in nothing else or maybe is there 71 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: some room for Josh Downs. 72 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 3: Yeah? I think. Look, it's been up and down for 73 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 3: everyone but one wide receiver, because Alec Pierce has led 74 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 3: them in receiving yards in four or five games. 75 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: And I know. 76 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 3: Last week for three and seven eighths of a quarter 77 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 3: it looked like he was going to do nothing and 78 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: then he absolutely exploded and finished as a a top 79 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 3: wide receiver of the week with three catches. So I think, 80 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: regardless of the quarterback, Alec Pierce is who you should 81 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: be investing in right now, especially though if it's Anthony Richardson, 82 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: because if the floor is low with Richardson for all 83 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,799 Speaker 3: of their pass catchers why not go with the guy who, 84 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 3: if he hits, could completely alter your week and potentially 85 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 3: win you the week. Whereas the other guys if they hit, yeah, 86 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: they're they're solid contributors, but they're not gonna hit like 87 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 3: Alec Pierce does. And I jumped on board pretty early 88 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 3: this year with Alec Pierce, but Marcus, you were even 89 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: ahead of that. You were on it since the start, 90 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 3: So shout out to you. 91 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. I like to say I was on 92 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: it last year was just a year too early. They 93 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: didn't happen last season. It seems to be happening this season. 94 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: Admittedly he's more of a better and bestball guy just 95 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: because the usage is so inconsistent, but what it hits, 96 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: it's look really good so far this year. Another thing 97 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: about wide receivers that is concerning Elie Nighbors still in 98 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: concussion protocol, Flooria, this has been your guy for a while. 99 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: How worry are you at this point? 100 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 3: Very because this happened two weeks ago today, Like when 101 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 3: it happened, we were like, oh, all right, Mini buy 102 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 3: every player who has suffered a concussion. I believe last 103 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 3: season on Thursday played the next week. Okay, Neighbors didn't play. 104 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: Now we're another week into this and this is still 105 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: carrying on. So yeah, I have teams that need neighbors, 106 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 3: but even more importantly than that, like I want to 107 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 3: see this guy healthy and back out there and everything. 108 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: So definitely concerning, especially concerning for me because I bought 109 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: a Melik Neighbors shirt that I'm waiting to break out, 110 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 3: but I can't wear it until he returns. 111 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: So we needlak Neighbors to get healthy. One for the 112 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: New York Giants, but also for Florio's wardrobe choices too, 113 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: just to help out with that. So Malik, if you 114 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: could somehow get right, we would all certainly appreciate it. 115 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: But still definitely we'll see it seem good, healthy, get 116 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: back on the field. In all seriousness because obviously having 117 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: a great rookie season in progress as into our week 118 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: six calls the things that we think are gonna happen 119 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: for your fantasy squads in week six. People start with 120 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: Club Dub, but let's go the guys think you're gonna 121 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: be the top scores none quarterback edition, of course, because 122 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: that would be cheating otherwise. So who is the non 123 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: quarterback Lakwan that you think is going to be the 124 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: top scorer this week. 125 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 4: Well, I don't have my loud shirt on and I'm 126 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 4: not prepared to go to the club dub, but I'm 127 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 4: going to be riding with DJ Moore against the Jaguars. 128 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 4: Now we know how that defense is very generous two 129 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 4: wide receivers to forethmost fantasy points, but more so looking 130 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 4: at Kayla Williams and this bears offense of how they've 131 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 4: been playing like. Therefore, I'm looking at DJ Moore to 132 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 4: capitalize on his season high and yards and fantasy points 133 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 4: last week and get it done against this Jacks defense 134 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 4: who've been allowing a ton of deep passes to teams 135 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 4: so far this season. I mean, the fourth highest completion 136 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 4: rate you know on deep balls this season. And we 137 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 4: saw last week Kayler Williams get some time in the 138 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 4: pocket man, because they're establishing the run and there's gonna 139 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 4: be a lot of times where Kayla Williams, he's gonna 140 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 4: be out there dealing if he has time in that pocket. 141 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 4: So DJ Moore or let's go. 142 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: I mean, DJ Moore always a candidate today. A ton 143 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: of targets, you know, sort of inside information heard from 144 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: a friend of a friend that being Adam Rank talking 145 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: about Mathew talked about his podcast, but some of the 146 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: other guys said that they think this could be a 147 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen week as well, So we will see. But 148 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: Kayla Williams getting hot. Great matchup this week against the 149 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. Florio, who do you like this week to 150 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:22,559 Speaker 1: go big? 151 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: We said quarterbacks would be cheating the number one wide 152 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 3: receiver and drafts also might be cheating, but I don't care. 153 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: He's not a quarterback, so give me c d Lamb. 154 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 3: Because the Detroit Lions struggle mightily against wide receivers. They 155 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: are in the top two only the Jaguars, so I 156 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: love your call as well. Lakwan have allowed more fantasy 157 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: points per game two wide receivers than the Lions have. 158 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,679 Speaker 3: But the best part about the Lions is of facing 159 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 3: when your receivers play them, the Lions offense is going 160 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 3: to put up points. We know that they are probably 161 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 3: going to run all over the Cowboys this week, but 162 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: even if they can't, they'll they'll find ways. They have 163 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: a lot of different weapons they can get the ball 164 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 3: to and when they score points, their opponents need to 165 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: put their foot on the gas. Play fast, throw more 166 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 3: and try to match those points, and I think this 167 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 3: could be a high scoring game. I want Cede Lamb obviously, 168 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: you want him in as many lineups as you can 169 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 3: get him in. But I think this we've been waiting 170 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 3: for the vintage CD Lamb game. I think it's this week. 171 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: You know what, the way the Cowboys are running the ball, 172 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: which is to say not at all, that means plenty 173 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: of opportunity for targets. And what you say, I agree, 174 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: it could be a very high scoring game, So plenty 175 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: of opportunity there, Florida, we might want ear must for 176 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: this one because I like Breis Hall. 177 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 3: I agree with your call. 178 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: Okay, we got Breece Hall as a chance to go 179 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: really really big Florio. It's the thing that you have 180 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: talked about that the secondary, the pass coverage has been 181 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: very good for Buffalo. The linebackers have been a problem. 182 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: Running backs have had a field day against this defense 183 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: so far this year. And I think with the change 184 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: in play, it's been stripped from Nathaniel Hackett, it has 185 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: been given to Todd Downing. I think you're gonna see 186 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: a difference in the way the Jets offense operates, and 187 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it is going to be 188 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: We're going to feed our really talented running back with 189 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities here. So I think you're gonna 190 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: see Breese Hall carry it a lot. I think you're 191 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: gonna see him get a lot of targets. Especially keep 192 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: in mind Aaron Rodgers has been limited in practice so 193 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: far this week, so it might not be a situation 194 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: where they let him, you know, take these drop backs, 195 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: stand in the pocket and try to go downfield. It 196 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: might have to be him getting the ball out quick, 197 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: which works in the favor of Breeze Hall. So everybody 198 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: who's been frustrated trying to start Breeze Hall and not 199 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: getting those big games, I think this is a week 200 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: that you can feel a little bit more confident that 201 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: the guy you spit probably a top three pick on, 202 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: is going to produce for your fantasy squad over to 203 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: these snorel acts our favorite Week six sleepers. So in 204 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: the words of ash ketchum, who are you choosing up? 205 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 4: I love this sleep like that was a great call, Floria. 206 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 4: But anyway, I'm going to Eagles DST this week. Man, 207 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 4: I know they're not really the sexiest DST, you know, 208 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 4: Team to have in your starting lineups. This season, they've 209 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 4: been really on the low side of like four to 210 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 4: five points. Not really the team to go out there 211 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 4: and get a lot of sacks right now, and they've 212 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 4: been getting cooked in that secondary. But going against this 213 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 4: Browns offensive line, I think they can feast and get 214 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 4: some turnover, some sacks and be out there and be 215 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 4: able to build on those standard ten points you're able 216 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 4: to get because right now the Browns offense is got 217 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 4: awful and getting after Watson is something that I think 218 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 4: they can do. So the standard ten points to maintain 219 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 4: the low scoring points this week is definitely on the 220 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 4: table for them. So the Eagles team might be on 221 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 4: the wire for you. Go pick them up, put them 222 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 4: in your starting lineup this week. 223 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: I got an interesting notes from our research squad earlier 224 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: on Thursday that last season there were five or three 225 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: fifth round quarterbacks who started a game in twenty twenty three. 226 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: None of them threw a touchdown pass in their first 227 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: career start. So Spencer Rattler getting his first career start 228 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: this week for the New Orleans Saints going against the Eagles, 229 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: do not necessarily like the situation for him there, So 230 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: I do like that call as a sleeper start this 231 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: week a Florida who do he likes a sleeper? 232 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 3: In my leagues, the Eagles defense were going for there 233 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 3: was bidding wars in. 234 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: Fab to get them race. 235 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 3: I like Calvin Ridley though this week because if not now, 236 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: it might never happen in Tennessee. But I know it's 237 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 3: been rough for Calvin Ridley outside of the one game 238 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: against the Jets, where you probably sad them because they 239 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 3: were facing the Jets. But the Colts have struggled every 240 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 3: which way this year. 241 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: On defense. 242 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 3: They've given up a lot of rushing yards, even though 243 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 3: they have improved in recent weeks against the run, they 244 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 3: have really struggled against the pass, and they particularly struggled 245 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 3: against out wide wide receivers and on deep passes against 246 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: wide receivers who plays out wide and could win downfield. 247 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 3: The best on the Titans Calvin Ridley. So uh, this 248 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: is just a pure upside shot. And if you're in 249 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 3: a deeper league, DeAndre Hopkins is even someone that I 250 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: would consider taking a shot on this week. And Marcus, 251 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 3: I know you have been talking about Will Levis and 252 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 3: his male loving as a sleeper this week, So let's 253 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 3: get his past catchers in there. 254 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: Hey, look, I don't hate that at all. I mean, 255 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna get the ball downfield to somebody. Why not 256 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley. Let me creak myself. By the way, it's 257 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: not the Eagles in the Saints this week. It's the 258 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: Eagles in the Brown. So you're picking on Deshaun Watson, yes, 259 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: who has been also awful all season all but I 260 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: guess you mean that means that you can stream the 261 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: Bucks defense against the Saints if you want to this week. 262 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: That is not my sleeper. My sleeper is another defense, 263 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: because apparently defense is the order of the day. I'm 264 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: going to Houston, Texans taking on the New England Patriots 265 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: this week. Drake May making his first career regular season 266 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: start for New England. I think Drake May is going 267 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: to have a very bright future. I liked what I 268 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: saw out of him in the preseason. Do not like 269 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: him this week. This is the same Texans defense that 270 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: harassed Caleb Williams to no end pressure on him. They 271 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: sacked him seven times as well. I think you're gonna 272 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: see them really try to heat things up for Drake May. 273 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: This is a Patriots offense that has not been very 274 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: good with Jacoby Brissett's second fewest point score of any 275 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: team in the NFL so far, so maybe it gets 276 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: incrementally better with Drake May. Perhaps this is not the 277 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: week that I would test that we talked about. Jalen 278 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 1: Polk is the guy you want to add. I don't 279 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: think you're starting him this week. I want to see 280 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: what happens with this Texans defense first before I have 281 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: any thoughts of starting any Patriots skill position guys. But 282 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: I would slide into Texans as a streaming option. If 283 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: you are looking for a defense, it's time to drive 284 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: your line up, presented by the all new hybrid Toyota Camry. 285 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: Let's look forward. Can I get an encore? Who are 286 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: the guys who went big last week? Who go big 287 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: again this week? Lakwan, who do you like? 288 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 4: I'm going Kirko Chains? 289 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: Is that where we're still calling? Yeah? 290 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 4: I mean he's still Swacksurf and I'm pretty sure going 291 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 4: into this week coming off a career high of five 292 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 4: hundred passing yards, and I think he can keep the 293 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 4: train rolling in this matchup. He's a top five quarterback 294 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 4: in major crack category, so he is bowling right now. 295 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 4: This Panthers defense that are allowing thirty three points per game. 296 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 4: That's the most in the NFL right now, and Kirk 297 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 4: Cousins is responsible for eighty eight percent of the Falcons 298 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 4: offensive touchdowns. So if there's going to be some scoring 299 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 4: in this game against one of the worst defenses, it's 300 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 4: coming from Kirk Cousins hand. So another QB one week 301 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 4: coming for Kirk co Chains, I. 302 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: Mean, does mean we get to see him swagsurfing flags. 303 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 4: Yes, it was a little awkward, but he got it 304 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 4: down after the beat starts. 305 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins it was it was never not going to 306 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: be awkward watching him swag surf, like there was only 307 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: one way they found the beat, though, it was never 308 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: not going to be awkward for sure. This dude buys 309 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: his close it coals Man, which no shot at Coles. 310 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: But like you just you just know if I'm buying 311 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: Khaki's at coals, I'm not swagsurfing. Ether just don't go together. 312 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: The correlation there is very low, right, Come on there 313 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: it is Florida. Who's who's your guy? Who goes big again? 314 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: In Week six? 315 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 3: Uh Za Flower coming off of not just his best 316 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 3: game of the season, but arguably the best game of 317 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 3: his career for the Ravens, but he leads them in 318 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 3: every category targets, receiving, yards, catches, and he gets the 319 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 3: Washington Commanders this week, who not only have allowed the 320 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 3: most touchdowns to wide receivers, they've allowed the seventh most 321 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 3: fantasy points. A wide receiver has gotten twenty fantasy points 322 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 3: against them in all but one week, and in that 323 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 3: one week they got eighteen against them. So very safe floor, 324 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 3: high ceiling. And the best part, just like with the Lions, 325 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 3: about having wide receivers go against the Commanders, is with 326 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 3: their offense being good. Now, it's not like you're hoping 327 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 3: that like I need my receiver to get a touchdown 328 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 3: in the first half, otherwise they're just gonna run the 329 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 3: ball Like no, You're gonna have to keep scoring to 330 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 3: keep Jayden Daniels in this Commander's defense offense down. So 331 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 3: could be a shootout. This is going to be the 332 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 3: game that you said yesterday, Marcus. Everyone in the early window. 333 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: Is going to have their eyes on this game. Why 334 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: not get exposure to it? And Zay Flowers I think 335 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: should eat this week. Yeah, man, I mean, obviously they 336 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: didn't know how good Jayden and Daniel's gonna be when 337 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: the schedule came out. But man, if this were like 338 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: a Sunday night game, there's'l be a lot of fun 339 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: if it were a kind of an Island game situation. 340 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 3: No, we got to get Bengals Giants on Sunday night. 341 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 3: Come on? 342 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah for me, Look, we all jumped off 343 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 5: the DeAndre Swift train after the first few weeks of 344 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 5: the season. 345 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: It was understandable. He was bad, right, he just hadn't 346 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: produced anything. It was getting hard to sort of wait 347 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: on him to produce. So everybody jumps ship. I get it. 348 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: But he put together two solid games in a row, 349 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: and now he gets another good matchup this week against 350 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. They have been bad against the run. 351 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: They have been bad against pass catching running backs. We 352 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: know Swift's gonna do a little bit of both of 353 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: those things. You know you had we talked earlier about 354 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: DJ Moore in that passing game for Chicago. DeAndre Swift's 355 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: gonna be involved in that as well. He's gonna get 356 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: some opportunities to get some targets there. We know he's 357 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: going to get the majority of the rushing attempts as well. 358 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: You can find the end zone. I think it becomes 359 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: a really huge day. But even without that, I expect 360 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: enough touches and enough production that he's a solid RB 361 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: two for a whole lot of fantasy managers and continuing 362 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,479 Speaker 1: that run of really playing well after we pretty much 363 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: all pulled the shoot Andre Swift after the first two 364 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: or three weeks of the season. So there it is. 365 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: That was Drive Your Lineup, presented by the all new 366 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: hybrid Toyota Camri.

I'm glad 368 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: that we end our show with a positive thing. Yes, 369 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: we've been doing better, because it feels like we had 370 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: been ending with a lot of negatives and that was 371 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: kind of a downer way to leave our own players. 372 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: Do we hate this week? Yes, let's talk of the 373 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: guys that are gonna stink in your lineup this week. No, 374 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: let's not do that.
