Speaker 1: to Do? Do? Din It Do? Do Do? Do? Did
Speaker 1: It Do? Yo is the Fantasy Best Friends Forever here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network alongside Frankie Staffel. I
Speaker 1: am Greg Susman. What's going on, Money, Greggy? What's up man?
Speaker 1: Week five in the books? Kind of a mixed bag
Speaker 1: last night in terms of overall sports fantasy. He pulled
Speaker 1: out a much needed win in the GFC League against
Speaker 1: our guy, Christopher Carrol, mark Ingram came through and Jordan
Speaker 1: Reed was the invisible man last night, Yes he was.
Speaker 1: Drew Brees went off broke the record, so I'm sure
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. Alvin Kamara owners are probably freaking
Speaker 1: out frustrated. I lost in in the Carton League by
Speaker 1: like two or three adventure. They have a camaros. I
Speaker 1: didn't even look kind of like how in the GST.
Speaker 1: I didn't look at the s warners or whatever. And
Speaker 1: I wanted that one I lost. I lost Carton's League.
Speaker 1: It's okay, but how about them Yankees moving on? Nobody
Speaker 1: cares for baseball? Frankie, you know that. Yeah, of course
Speaker 1: you know that. So last night mark Ingram, that's the
Speaker 1: story to me, right, mark Ingram return lead the backfield
Speaker 1: and carries lead the backfield and touchdowns. What was with
Speaker 1: the breakdown between Marking Room and Alvin Kamara. That's what
Speaker 1: the story is to start start us off here on
Speaker 1: a Tuesday. Yeah, so mark Ingram stepped in immediately saw
Speaker 1: a fifty four percent of the snatch ball. Alvin Kamara
Speaker 1: only played forty six percent of the snatch and I saw, um,
Speaker 1: you know, people on Twitter talking about how you know,
Speaker 1: he came into this game with a bum knee that
Speaker 1: kind of got out to a lead very early in
Speaker 1: this game. They were dominating pretty much from like the
Speaker 1: second quarter on, So basically in the second half. They
Speaker 1: didn't really need Alvin Kamara. You know, as weird as
Speaker 1: it sounds, they you know, they were just dominating this game,
Speaker 1: so he didn't play a lot there in the second half. Um,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be freaking out. If anyone in your league
Speaker 1: is freaking out and they're an Alvin Kamara owner, I
Speaker 1: would try and buy low. Uh. And I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: try and like pat myself on the back too hard
Speaker 1: for this one. But a couple of weeks ago, I said,
Speaker 1: just try just float Alvin Kamara out there and see
Speaker 1: what you can get. I still think he's going to be,
Speaker 1: you know, a top five running back from here on out.
Speaker 1: But God bless you, Greggy, there is no doubt that
Speaker 1: mark Ingram provides something there that they haven't had all seasons. So,
Speaker 1: you know, the days of getting twenty targets out of
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, the days of getting you know, fifteen plus
Speaker 1: targets out of him, I think those are gone. But
Speaker 1: I still think that he's going to be good enough
Speaker 1: for you know, twelve thirteen carries a game and probably
Speaker 1: like seven to eight targets in competitive games. This was
Speaker 1: really not a competitive game grade. Yeah, so it's interesting,
Speaker 1: and I wonder how much of this has to do
Speaker 1: with being Ingram's first game back and the Saints having
Speaker 1: a buy next week. Right, you can give Camara almost
Speaker 1: an extended break because they've used them a lot more
Speaker 1: than they probably have wanted to um over the first
Speaker 1: four weeks because they had no backup. Jonathan Williams didn't
Speaker 1: work out, Mike gillisly didn't work out, nobody worked out
Speaker 1: as as the potential backup. They look very very hard
Speaker 1: to find someone to feel that mar At Ginghram role.
Speaker 1: They found nobody, so they had to use Ingram over
Speaker 1: and over, use Kimara more and more and more every
Speaker 1: single week, and I usould just could not continue. I
Speaker 1: think there's a chance we see a lot of what
Speaker 1: we saw last year with Ingram and Camara, which is
Speaker 1: it pretty even split. But mark Ingram very heavily involved
Speaker 1: in this offense. And I said to you back in January,
Speaker 1: I go, everyone's talking about Alvin Camara as a top five,
Speaker 1: top six, top seven pick, but shouldn't mark Ingram be
Speaker 1: in that close to first round discussion. He got suspended
Speaker 1: and it never happened, And before he got suspended, he
Speaker 1: was I believe going like late second round, early third
Speaker 1: round around that turn that the Jordan Howard area. Um,
Speaker 1: if you will and it last night is any proof
Speaker 1: and I don't know that it is. That's probably where
Speaker 1: he deserved to go, if not earlier. Marking was fantastic
Speaker 1: last night. Yeah he was. He You know, he saw
Speaker 1: sixteen carries in this game. The efficiency wasn't great, just
Speaker 1: around three yards per carry. But you know something I
Speaker 1: spoke about yesterday. You can't really notice it now because
Speaker 1: it was nineteen the final score. The Redskins defense overall
Speaker 1: had been pretty good coming into this game, so they
Speaker 1: shut down the run for the most part in terms
Speaker 1: of efficiency, but he still scored two touchdown. They used
Speaker 1: some a ton in the red zone. I don't know
Speaker 1: that that's going to change, um, But you know where
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara was dominating this year was indeed in the
Speaker 1: red zone. Coming into this week, the most red zone
Speaker 1: touches in the NFL. So that's you know, carries plus receptions. Um,
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna change a little bit. But in
Speaker 1: games where like it's higher scoring, their shootouts, I think
Speaker 1: we see more Kamara. But look, we knew that once
Speaker 1: mark ingram was going to return that the Saint's offense
Speaker 1: gets something back that they hadn't had all season, and
Speaker 1: that was like a competent one to punch to Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 1: So I think if if you got marking her back,
Speaker 1: you're excited about that. He I think instantly jumps in
Speaker 1: as like a high end RBV two um And you know,
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara instead of being the consensus RB one, he's
Speaker 1: probably closer to like top five now still n RB one,
Speaker 1: just not the consensus RB one. That that he may
Speaker 1: have been other than TDD Gurley to me. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: so that's the big story of the Running Game last night.
Speaker 1: So let's talk more about Drew Brees and the wide receivers.
Speaker 1: There was no Ted gain last night. Tracolon Smith, who
Speaker 1: a lot of people really really like, scores touchdown a
Speaker 1: DFS target. He did. He he was fantastic, wide wide
Speaker 1: open on one of the touchdowns last night. Yeah. Still
Speaker 1: only saw three targets in this game, but if you
Speaker 1: look at the target breakdown, nobody had more than five.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of receivers in this game between
Speaker 1: two targets and five targets. Michael Thomas had five targets.
Speaker 1: In this game, Cray Koon Smith showed some of that explosiveness.
Speaker 1: You know, he was kind of a preseason darling. A
Speaker 1: lot of the fantasy industry on Twitter talking him up
Speaker 1: throughout the preseason. Uh, you know, turn those three receptions
Speaker 1: into a hundred eleven yards and two touchdowns, So maybe
Speaker 1: he gives them that added element that they were missing, um,
Speaker 1: you know without Ted Gain. Tedgain, you know, a little
Speaker 1: bit an older player. He plays his part in the offense.
Speaker 1: But you know, Cam Meredith also had five targets tied
Speaker 1: from Michael Thomas for the team lead yesterday called all
Speaker 1: five for seventy one receiving yards. So I think some
Speaker 1: people are going to look at Cameron Meredith and tray
Speaker 1: Kwon Smith as ads this week, and today is a
Speaker 1: waiver wire show, so I'm sure we'll talk about that,
Speaker 1: but I'm really not sure, Like, you know, one week,
Speaker 1: it could be Trae Kwon is like the number two
Speaker 1: pass catcher or number three rather outside of Michael Thomas
Speaker 1: and Kamara, and then maybe one week gets to came Meredith.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know how much consistency you're gonna
Speaker 1: get out of either one of those guys. Greg, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I I tend I tend to ultimately agree with you
Speaker 1: that you look at Kuan Smith and you look at
Speaker 1: Ted Gain and Smith younger, more exciting. He's a lot
Speaker 1: better than Ted Gain is at this point in his career.
Speaker 1: But will it be consistent? Will it be week to week?
Speaker 1: The New Orleans Saints have so many weapons to deal
Speaker 1: with and then you can't count on it. It took
Speaker 1: us forever to count on Ted again. I like Smith,
Speaker 1: I liked him to the DFS play. We all like
Speaker 1: Mary to coming into the year. But with mark Ingram back,
Speaker 1: with Ben Watson and Josh Hill still things there's just
Speaker 1: no reliability week to week. We can talk about it
Speaker 1: and then by coming up next week, like you're not
Speaker 1: spending it in all these guys. Yeah, outside of like
Speaker 1: deeper leagues, we're playing a few of those where you know,
Speaker 1: like twenty plus round drafts maybe where you have like
Speaker 1: eight bench spots something like that. But in your standard,
Speaker 1: you know, twelve team maybe five bench league. I don't
Speaker 1: think that you're going out and adding these guys. And
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, I know the snap percentage might
Speaker 1: be a little misleading because last night obviously you know,
Speaker 1: that game felt like it never was gonna end. You know,
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter, this game was already over,
Speaker 1: and it was over by the end of the third quarter,
Speaker 1: so you know, the fourth quarter you probably see a
Speaker 1: lot of those players resting. But Michael Thomas played seventy
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps, track Kuon Smith was next up
Speaker 1: with sixty six percent of the snaps, and then Cameron
Speaker 1: Meredith comes in at about forty percent of the snaps.
Speaker 1: But again, you don't know how much does that due
Speaker 1: to the guys just leaving the game late and just
Speaker 1: not playing the fourth quarter because they didn't need to
Speaker 1: totally totally, that's on the other side of things last night,
Speaker 1: do we have to know? Not really? Now we should um, So,
Speaker 1: it might be the worst game I've seen of Alex
Speaker 1: Smith's career. It was bad. It was so bad. Twenty
Speaker 1: three or thirty nine, a guy who typically completes a
Speaker 1: lot of his passes two seventy five yards, zero passing touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He did have the rushing touchdown, but through an interception,
Speaker 1: a terrible interception, like you know, throwing off his back
Speaker 1: foot across his body. Bad. It was just not your
Speaker 1: typical Alex Smith game. And you know, also yesterday I
Speaker 1: brought up the Saints defense. Did they start to turn
Speaker 1: around in that game against the Giants? You didn't really
Speaker 1: know because the Giants offense is very inconsistent. Was that
Speaker 1: just the Giants offense having a bad game or was
Speaker 1: it the Saints defense kind of turning around? And I
Speaker 1: think the answer now over the past two weeks is
Speaker 1: you look at it, the Saints defense is kind of
Speaker 1: turning around. The Sts defens Maybe that Giants game wasn't
Speaker 1: a fluke slowly incrementally going getting better. And they think
Speaker 1: last night and everybody liked Washington, Cory, you me, we
Speaker 1: we all liked Washington. And the thing is, that's very
Speaker 1: frustrated Giant fan. You beat Carolina, You're like injianver sheet here. Um,
Speaker 1: but what a terrible division right now? Oh my god.
Speaker 1: But I think I think with it's a really tough
Speaker 1: spot for Washington. I know they're coming off by but
Speaker 1: it's Monday night, it's in New Orleans, it's a Drew
Speaker 1: Brees record breaking game. It's a really tough spot, and
Speaker 1: all the momentum goes against Washington in that one. So
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm buying the Saints defense back. Yet.
Speaker 1: I understand the narratives in this game, but when you
Speaker 1: have a bye week and you have that much time
Speaker 1: to game plan for all of these players, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of inexcusable to get blown out, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Saints were probably going to win this game regardless
Speaker 1: because of the narrative and Drew Brees going for history here,
Speaker 1: But the fact that it's like Monday night, I don't
Speaker 1: think that matters, Like coming off a bye week, I
Speaker 1: just I don't see how you get trounced this badly
Speaker 1: when you have that much time to game plan for
Speaker 1: a team, unless indeed it's just you know, the Saints
Speaker 1: are turning that corner and their defense is playing well,
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is throwing for sixty yards and three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: It seems like every single week against the Giants, we
Speaker 1: have certainly zero We have certainly seen in the past
Speaker 1: these a lot of teams have worked themselves into a
Speaker 1: better defense, the Saints last year as an example of
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Seemingly every year. So these old Giants teams
Speaker 1: that through the first two, three or four weeks they
Speaker 1: really struggle before the pieces fit and the scheme works.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, they don't come out of the gun
Speaker 1: slingin right Like it's a process and maybe that process
Speaker 1: is now in stage two. When it comes to the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints, I think it's I think it's possible.
Speaker 1: With Washington, I really liked their defense before last night. Uh,
Speaker 1: that turned into a disaster. Chris Thompson was involved and
Speaker 1: Drew and Alex Smith almost killed him. So that was
Speaker 1: that wasn't so great. Um. Adrian Peterson revenge game didn't
Speaker 1: really work out. Jordan Reed, as mentioned, was a zero
Speaker 1: all these wide receivers. It was. It was a struggle
Speaker 1: all night long really for Washington, and Jordan's read two targets.
Speaker 1: That was a season low for him. We thought this
Speaker 1: would be a solid matchup to Um, you know, playing
Speaker 1: while he's healthy. It seems like he's healthy right now.
Speaker 1: But you know, the biggest play you saw make last
Speaker 1: night was a chasdown tackle that he saved, that interception
Speaker 1: from Alex Smith being a pick six. That was the
Speaker 1: most action we saw in Jordan read last night. So
Speaker 1: there's one reception for twenty one yards. Obviously you were
Speaker 1: expecting more. That was a letdown. Chris Thompson still had
Speaker 1: his standard PPR game six receptions for forty five yards.
Speaker 1: Neither running back did much on the ground because obviously
Speaker 1: this game got out of hand very fast. You like
Speaker 1: that Jamison Crowder was targeted eight times but only hauled
Speaker 1: in four for fifty five. I actually thought it could
Speaker 1: have been a better game for Crowder because the Saints
Speaker 1: lost their slot corner um a week ago and we
Speaker 1: saw Sterling Shepard kind of have a big game because
Speaker 1: of that, and I thought that as a result, Jameson
Speaker 1: Crowder would be in for a big game as well here. Uh,
Speaker 1: but he didn't. It was just kind of like a
Speaker 1: standard four for fifty five. I do like the fact
Speaker 1: that he saw eight targets. Um, Washington has to bounced back. Now.
Speaker 1: They are going up against the Panthers next week, so
Speaker 1: they'll be at home in that game. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: There's certainly um been some offense there. Hey, I wanted
Speaker 1: to do certainly get into waivers today. We have a
Speaker 1: whole lot to get you. Um. I know people don't
Speaker 1: have all that money left or not all the much
Speaker 1: money left, but there hasn't there nobody has a hundred
Speaker 1: dollars left essentially, or a thousand dollars left. It's draining.
Speaker 1: And the big news that comes out yesterday has to
Speaker 1: do with j h I. A j I out of
Speaker 1: nowhere tears his a c L. And I know you
Speaker 1: were very off j j I this year coming into
Speaker 1: the year for not necessarily injury concerns, but orkloud concerns
Speaker 1: with Doug Peterson with the Eagles and rotating running backs
Speaker 1: in and out. Well, I have good news. One of
Speaker 1: the running backs are gone. You don't have to deal
Speaker 1: with j j I anymore. Bad news is JGI is
Speaker 1: arguably the best out of the running mass. He tours
Speaker 1: a c L and that sucks. But he's gone, which
Speaker 1: opens up Corey Clement, Wendel Smallwood, Darren Sprowls when he's healthy.
Speaker 1: And who's the fourth guy again? Was that like rookie
Speaker 1: people like for a little while, Josh. It's not Josh
Speaker 1: Reynolds but Adams. I think that's right, Josh Adams. So
Speaker 1: there's a called up off the practice squad, right, So
Speaker 1: then you have those four guys to worry about. So
Speaker 1: the biggest question that we've gotten on Twitter, we've gotten
Speaker 1: from our friends, We've gotten on the phone lines today
Speaker 1: is how much do we spend on guys like Corey
Speaker 1: Clement when the smallwood, Darren Sprawls and Josh Adams if
Speaker 1: they're on the way a wire. That's the big question,
Speaker 1: and that's what I throw to you. I think it
Speaker 1: depends obviously how much you meet a running back. If
Speaker 1: you were a j JID owner, I'm not breaking the
Speaker 1: bank on any of the running backs here. I think
Speaker 1: Corey Clement and went into small wood. You're looking at
Speaker 1: another running back by committee. Again, this is a Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson led offense. And I said the same thing coming
Speaker 1: into the year, Greg, was that was the reason why
Speaker 1: I didn't like j j. I. You look at the
Speaker 1: past couple of years and this is actually our stat
Speaker 1: of the day, Greg. To this point in the season,
Speaker 1: no running back, the totality of their snaps, has played
Speaker 1: more than of the snaps on the season. Last season,
Speaker 1: no Eagles running back played more than forty one percent
Speaker 1: of the snaps over the entire season. Not just I'm
Speaker 1: talking about like in a single game, because there were
Speaker 1: games where you know, obviously running backs dominated the snaps,
Speaker 1: but it's just so in consistent. This is what Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson likes to he likes to rotate running backs, and
Speaker 1: it's going to continue to frustrate fantasy owners. So again,
Speaker 1: if you lost a Ji, you're gonna look at Clement,
Speaker 1: You're gonna look at Wendel Smallwood. Honestly, I'm not spending
Speaker 1: more than of my fab budget on either. I think
Speaker 1: they're they're both in that range, and honestly, to try
Speaker 1: and choose one, I think you're gonna be pulling your
Speaker 1: hair out there as well, because we've seen Wendel small
Speaker 1: would have good games so far this year. We've seen
Speaker 1: Corey Clement have a good game so uh to this
Speaker 1: point in the season. I think those are kind of
Speaker 1: like the early down guys. And in Darren's browls, if
Speaker 1: he ever gets healthy, we'll just kind of have his role,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe like a handful of targets per game.
Speaker 1: But it's gonna continue to be a running back by
Speaker 1: comedie in Philadelphia. Now, you are desperate for running back,
Speaker 1: that's the problem. We're all desperate for running backs, and
Speaker 1: I agree it's gonna be running back by committe. You're
Speaker 1: gonna pull your hair out when Wendel small is doing really,
Speaker 1: really well and you started Corey Clement and vice versa
Speaker 1: as well, and Corey Clements having a great drive. Wise,
Speaker 1: Wendel Smallwood in at the goal line. You're gonna be
Speaker 1: very very frustrated when Doug Peterson stops running the ball.
Speaker 1: These are all the things that we have seen with
Speaker 1: Philadelphia in the past, and all these things have been very,
Speaker 1: very frustrating to US Eagles owners. The rumors that you
Speaker 1: saw yesterday, and there were two of them. The first
Speaker 1: was Levian Bell, and every source of imaginable has said
Speaker 1: that's not a thing. The Eagles are not trying to
Speaker 1: trade for Levian Bell. It's not gonna work whatever. Okay,
Speaker 1: Florio actually just texted us saying he thinks Lashaw McCoy
Speaker 1: could end up back in Philadelphia. Supposedly Eagles have reached
Speaker 1: out of them. Somebody has reached out. Obviously makes sense
Speaker 1: for the Bills who were going nowhere. Um, you got
Speaker 1: up so interestingly enough, those are the rumors. Are they true?
Speaker 1: Certainly you have to worry about what it comes to
Speaker 1: your bid. Yeah, the Levian Bell, they've already shut that down. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they want to give up that
Speaker 1: high a draft pick, but you could probably get Losa
Speaker 1: McCoy for a lot cheaper. Still, even if they get
Speaker 1: Losa McCoy, it's going to be a running back by committee.
Speaker 1: He's never going to dominate snapsh for this team. Fair enough,
Speaker 1: We'll take a break when we come back. More from

Speaker 1: Daily Rotor dot Com the industry website where millionaires are

Speaker 1: is man, shouts Colin Drew again. Greg has a wedding
Speaker 1: next year, so if you want to contribute to that, um,
Speaker 1: all donations are welcome. Hell yeah, that was a band
Speaker 1: and god, so much money, so much money. You get
Speaker 1: the wedding singer Adam Sandler will not be at my wedding.
Speaker 1: I mean he kind of would fit right in. I
Speaker 1: guess why because, um he you're a good singer and
Speaker 1: he's a good singer. All right, cool, Yeah, that makes
Speaker 1: sense obviously, it's alright. It seems like seeing what you
Speaker 1: were going with that. Okay, all right, So Window small Wood,
Speaker 1: Corey collect those are the two guys that are out
Speaker 1: there in quite if you leaves Frank, you're not breaking
Speaker 1: the bank for them by any means. You said yes,
Speaker 1: and Wendells Smallwood is by far much more widely available.
Speaker 1: He's only owned in ten percent of CBS sports leagues,
Speaker 1: while Corey Clement is still owning sixty three percent of leagues.
Speaker 1: And there was just a report that Corey Clement is
Speaker 1: at the start of practice today. They're practicing on a
Speaker 1: Tuesday because obviously they have the short week the game
Speaker 1: on Thursday night against the New York Giants, so he
Speaker 1: is practicing. Looks like he's going to be ready for
Speaker 1: that game. But again this past week, Wind Smallwood in
Speaker 1: JGI the snaps each split. Now if he makes Darren
Speaker 1: Sprowls into that, assuming that he's back for this game
Speaker 1: as well. Maybe he plays like twenty of the snaps
Speaker 1: and then the rest is kind of divvied up between
Speaker 1: Corey Clement and Windal Smollent. I'm just I'm breaking it
Speaker 1: down for you again, this is just going to be
Speaker 1: a mess of of of a situation. Like one week
Speaker 1: you're gonna start Corey Clement, it will be the week
Speaker 1: when small Wood goes off. So I'm not breaking the
Speaker 1: bank for either. If I lost a GI, I'm willing
Speaker 1: to go as high as twenty percent maybe, like if
Speaker 1: you just want to get over that like two percent
Speaker 1: of my budget, But I'm not going up to like
Speaker 1: thirty percent something that I was doing early on in
Speaker 1: the season like a Geovanni Bernard. I'm not doing that
Speaker 1: for either one of these Eagles running backs. Greg. I
Speaker 1: just think they're going to frustrate you. Ultimately. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: spend underwent um for sure, but not much less than
Speaker 1: um for Corey Clement. I'm more interested in maybe Hill
Speaker 1: be around and maybe when no smaller would be closer
Speaker 1: to fifteen. I think I think that's what I would do.
Speaker 1: Makes sense. Yeah, I don't love either though. I don't
Speaker 1: think the waiver wider this week is all the great.
Speaker 1: It's not, it's it's not, it's it's it's obviously not. Um.
Speaker 1: Mike Davis actually owned in under of lease. Now after
Speaker 1: one week, he didn't necessarily get picked up everywhere because
Speaker 1: you knew Chris Carson was coming back. Last week. We
Speaker 1: saw the role that Mike Davis has. He's the goal
Speaker 1: line guy. He had twelve carries, he was good, Chris
Speaker 1: Carson was great. How much do you spend that a
Speaker 1: guy like Mike Davis. It's pretty similar to the Eagles
Speaker 1: situation right now in terms of the running backs for
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, because again, Chris Carson, I highlighted this yesterday.
Speaker 1: He played about fifty percent of the snaps and Mike
Speaker 1: Davis was right around. So you're looking at that sixty
Speaker 1: forty split. I think we can continue to see that,
Speaker 1: but you can't put Mike Davis in your lineup now
Speaker 1: saying all right, he's definitely gonna get the goal line work,
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the red zone work, he's gonna score
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I still think there's kind of no rhyme
Speaker 1: or reason to Pete Carroll's you know, Seahawks offense right now, Um,
Speaker 1: it's just they're probably just gonna ride the hot hand.
Speaker 1: But Mike Davis looks good right now. Any time we
Speaker 1: see a running back who is performing like this and
Speaker 1: it is getting at least of the snaps and and
Speaker 1: getting double digit touchdowns, uh touchdowns, touches overall, you have
Speaker 1: to be somewhat interested. So similar to the Eagles guys,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not breaking the bank for this, maybe like
Speaker 1: of my budget, that's about as high as I'm willing
Speaker 1: to go for Mike Davis. Yeah, you know it's for me,
Speaker 1: that's even high, I think because I get Chris Carson.
Speaker 1: If something happens to Carson again, and you're looking at
Speaker 1: Davids like a like a low end Army two, right,
Speaker 1: So that was the thing. Carson hasn't exactly been picture
Speaker 1: perfect healthy over the bad last two years, so that's true.
Speaker 1: She said, a great. Look, there's just no thing backs
Speaker 1: out there like these are the guys who are highlighting
Speaker 1: the waiver wire right now. It's the Eagles guys, it's
Speaker 1: Mike Davis who's still only owned in leaves. I mean
Speaker 1: some of their names that will bring up Alfred Blue
Speaker 1: Doon Toon Foreman, like the Texans can't really run the
Speaker 1: football right now? Do you want to get involved in
Speaker 1: that mess? Like, I think Deonta Foreman has some upside
Speaker 1: only owned, but I think they're probably gonna slowly work
Speaker 1: him in like you're not. If they do decide to
Speaker 1: give it over to Deontay Foreman, it's not going to
Speaker 1: be right away, like we're looking at maybe like week eight,
Speaker 1: week nine, where like he takes over and maybe sees
Speaker 1: like fifteen plus touches for this team. It's not gonna
Speaker 1: happen right away. So there's no one that gives you
Speaker 1: an immediate impact. At least, Mike Davis, if you're like
Speaker 1: super desperate for reflex, we have no carry on Johnson
Speaker 1: this week. He's on a buy obviously, the Saints running
Speaker 1: backs being on a buy in marketingroom and Alvan Kamara
Speaker 1: that doesn't help you. So Mike Davis, you're probably looking
Speaker 1: at him as like another flex option this week. There's
Speaker 1: just not much on the way bar No, there's not.
Speaker 1: There's really really not. So maybe maybe I'm under cutting
Speaker 1: Mike Davis here a little bit. Maybe I should be
Speaker 1: spending more. And for what it's worth, the Seahawks have
Speaker 1: been better at run bocking. Since they got DJU the
Speaker 1: past two weeks, they've just been able to run, run, run,
Speaker 1: and I think ultimately that's what they want to do,
Speaker 1: Like Russell Wilson, if not running to the football. I
Speaker 1: don't think they want to put the load on Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson again like they had to last year at you know,
Speaker 1: at their peak, Pete Carroll and the Seahawks were run, run, run,
Speaker 1: run the football, play defense. A lot of that was
Speaker 1: with Marshawn Lynch. They're still trying to find their Marshaw Lynch.
Speaker 1: It's obviously not for Shot Penny, even though they use
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick on him. Now, I'm not
Speaker 1: writing the guy off for dead. I mean, he's still
Speaker 1: only a rookie in the NFL, but it doesn't look
Speaker 1: like it's gonna happen for him this season. It looks
Speaker 1: like we have a two headed monster between Chris Carson
Speaker 1: and Mike Davis. So I was gonna stay around five percent.
Speaker 1: I think I want to go up to ten percent
Speaker 1: after the after our conversation with them, Like Davis, for you,
Speaker 1: I'm willing to go with highwe Yeah, that's fine, and
Speaker 1: it's a twelve percent. I think it's a fine number
Speaker 1: when it comes to Mike Davis, which leads me to
Speaker 1: Houston where Lamar Miller sucks. Keep pounding that update update.
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller sucks. He is expected to be back this weekend.
Speaker 1: Alfred Blues out there. Spoiler alert, Alfred Blue also sucks, okay,
Speaker 1: pretty good in the past game better than anything we've
Speaker 1: ever seen at Lamar Miller, who sucks, indeed. And then
Speaker 1: you get to week seven, not this week, that's week six,
Speaker 1: but the week after Week seven, where people still seem
Speaker 1: to be excited about Deanta Foreman. Is there a reason
Speaker 1: to me? I don't know. Will he even make the
Speaker 1: jump over Alfred Blue again? I don't know. What I
Speaker 1: can tell you is he's out there, Alfred Blues out
Speaker 1: there the rest of the season. Frank Rank, Lamar Miller,
Speaker 1: Alfred Blue, and Foreman. For me, honestly, I would take
Speaker 1: the upside shot just based on the explosiveness we saw
Speaker 1: from him last year. And I know I just kind
Speaker 1: of bashed the fact that you know, he's eligible to
Speaker 1: come off the pup in week seven, so he's still
Speaker 1: not even back this week. But this is a prime
Speaker 1: Statt candidate and he has been all season long. He's
Speaker 1: owned in nineteen percent of leagues. But again, that explosiveness,
Speaker 1: that um, that youth that he provides that we haven't
Speaker 1: seen out of Lamar Miller, Like Mar Miller brings nothing
Speaker 1: to the table right now for this team. And they're
Speaker 1: already talking about how they expect him to be back
Speaker 1: for Week six. So again, like Alfred Blue, while he
Speaker 1: helped in the receiving game last week, you know, he
Speaker 1: kind of is he is. He's like a jag at
Speaker 1: this point. So I think Deonta Foreman, they used a
Speaker 1: draft pick on him last year, they obviously like him.
Speaker 1: I think at some point they're going to give him
Speaker 1: the opportunity to be the guy on this team. So
Speaker 1: I would rank it Deonton Foreman, Lamar Miller, and then
Speaker 1: Alfred Lufford Blue Um. And you know, if if Lamar
Speaker 1: Miller can't go again this week, then you're probably looking
Speaker 1: at a similar usage game out of Alfred Blue again
Speaker 1: in week six. But they're talking about Lamar Miller going
Speaker 1: to be back, but I don't think it'll be long
Speaker 1: before Deonta Foreman returns. And then and they start to
Speaker 1: kind of like phase he ultimately like it's probably just
Speaker 1: another frustrating situation. It was last year too, even in
Speaker 1: the game's Yonta Foreman did well and it looked like
Speaker 1: he was like starting to take off before he got injured.
Speaker 1: He was never getting a big workload like they I
Speaker 1: don't think they're ever going to completely go away from
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller, but there's no doubting that he has more
Speaker 1: explosiveness and has big playability that Lamar Miller doesn't agree
Speaker 1: and he's working, you know, there are things working against him.
Speaker 1: He's coming back from an achilles injury. It's a very
Speaker 1: very hard injury to come back from. I don't know
Speaker 1: that we've seen a running back come back from an
Speaker 1: achilles injury and and be great, to be honest, but
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's still only why two years old.
Speaker 1: If there's anyone who could do it, it's probably a
Speaker 1: guy this year, probably probably so. But again, we don't
Speaker 1: know how healthy he will be when he comes back
Speaker 1: at week seven. And that's kind of what scares me
Speaker 1: because this is a brutal, brutal injury, and well, I
Speaker 1: think his talent might be the best out of Lamar
Speaker 1: Miller out for Blue and himself. Ultimately, will he be
Speaker 1: will he be the same explosive guy that we saw
Speaker 1: last year? And I don't anybody can ask the answer
Speaker 1: that that's fair. So it sounds like you're leaning towards
Speaker 1: ranking Lamar Miller number one on this list, right, I
Speaker 1: don't want any of them, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: that's fair, and that's that's probably the right answer. Like,
Speaker 1: if I had to choose one, Lamar Miller just doesn't
Speaker 1: bring anything to the table at this point, and Alfred
Speaker 1: Blue maybe he has his role as the pass catcher,
Speaker 1: but who has the highest upside of the group in
Speaker 1: my opinion? For now? Let me throw this at you,
Speaker 1: how much do you spend on them? Alfred? Like, I
Speaker 1: got Alfred Blue in my home league last week for
Speaker 1: zero dollars and that was even with the possibility of
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller not playing, so everyone knew that possibility and
Speaker 1: he still went for nothing. Right, So I'm not like,
Speaker 1: what three to five like a couple of bucks on
Speaker 1: Alfred Blue. I don't, you know, I don't think there's
Speaker 1: much there totally. Not to foreman, I'm a little bit
Speaker 1: more interested in But again, if you need help right away,
Speaker 1: he's not gonna help you. He's heard, he's not playing
Speaker 1: this week, he's coming off the pub next week. There,
Speaker 1: you know, no idea until week or week nine when
Speaker 1: they're really really using him. So if you're if you
Speaker 1: have a positive record, if you're three and two or better,
Speaker 1: and you can afford to stash him, you have someone
Speaker 1: on your bench, you're just not using like all right,
Speaker 1: something like that. For Donce Foreman, I'm just I'm talking
Speaker 1: him up. But again, like I'm not overly excited about
Speaker 1: anybody in Houston, I'm not, you know, going higher than
Speaker 1: ten percent on him. I was excited. I think that
Speaker 1: forman last week and I are for nothing. I just
Speaker 1: poked about that. If I had to bid on him
Speaker 1: this week, I have no idea, man, I really really
Speaker 1: have no idea. But obviously rather own the Eagles and
Speaker 1: Mike Davis over Downs Foreman. Would would you rather own
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones over Donson Foreman, Because I think that's kind
Speaker 1: of like similar territory. I would take it. I would
Speaker 1: take Ronald Jones. I don't think either team can run
Speaker 1: block overall. I think Ronal Jones got an opportunity last week,
Speaker 1: right and healthy. He's healthy, That's the thing. So would
Speaker 1: you rather mean him? But and that's a very potent offense.
Speaker 1: So you know, if they really do kind of pass
Speaker 1: the torch onto Ronald Jones, maybe you get some scoring opportunities.
Speaker 1: Would you rather own Um Foreman or Rashan Penny Foreman?
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's two guys ahead of Rashan Penny
Speaker 1: in Seattle, and I think once the Foreman comes back,
Speaker 1: he kind of goes to the top of the list.
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm just being a little bit naive here,
Speaker 1: but why why would you have any trust in anything
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller has done. He's done nothing, and he is
Speaker 1: completely job of Shot Penny at this point. How would
Speaker 1: you hold He didn't play a single snap last week.
Speaker 1: He was effective two weeks ago when he got to
Speaker 1: play behind Mike Davis. But even in that game, Mike
Speaker 1: Davis dominated snaps, dominated carries, and and and targets. In
Speaker 1: a deeper league, you you probably want to hold onto
Speaker 1: Roshot Penny. And I'm talking like deep, like fourteen teams
Speaker 1: are deeper, or if you have like more than six
Speaker 1: or seven bench spots, okay, but I would rather stash
Speaker 1: a guy like Foreman or Ronald Jones of roshot Penny.
Speaker 1: At this point, I tend to agree with you. Somebody
Speaker 1: else you wrote to drop out? Here? Are there any
Speaker 1: of the running backs you wanted to mention? You're kind
Speaker 1: of use check on here. This is just a PPR
Speaker 1: dart throw. But Matt Breeder looks like he's gonna be
Speaker 1: out a few weeks with that, you know, mint to
Speaker 1: high ankle sprain that they're talking about right now, and
Speaker 1: we know, um, how do you check? You know? It
Speaker 1: was just using the past game a week ago, so um,
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris not really going to catch many passes and
Speaker 1: Kyle you Scheck has that role in this offense. So again,
Speaker 1: this is just like a dart throw, a PPR like whatever.
Speaker 1: Maybe he catches like five or six balls a week.
Speaker 1: He's kind of like that THEO ridic mold, right, I
Speaker 1: just I just thought i'd mentioned him. Hm, cool, you're
Speaker 1: not in I'm I'm sorry, okay. So what I did
Speaker 1: want to ask you was were getting wide receivers now right?
Speaker 1: And one of the players that you had on your
Speaker 1: drop list is Antonio Callaway, which shocked me because when
Speaker 1: we do the fane of hurry up coming up in
Speaker 1: an hour or so or two hours or whatever. He's
Speaker 1: on my ad list, and that's are the difference opinion,
Speaker 1: clearly is what it comes to. Antonio Callaway. You think
Speaker 1: he's dropable. I think this is a perfect time to
Speaker 1: buy lew Sean Higgins out the next two to four
Speaker 1: weeks and m c L injury. Yeah, David and jokers
Speaker 1: there and obviously Jarvis Landry is there. When they that
Speaker 1: that's it, do Johnson maybe maybe maybe do Johnson somebody.
Speaker 1: We have to talk about les pick up because Baker's
Speaker 1: gonna throw it to somebody man. Yeah, and he's still
Speaker 1: throwing by a ton to Jarvis Landry. So you like that.
Speaker 1: But you know it's not like Landry is doing much
Speaker 1: with these targets right now. He's actually been very inefficient
Speaker 1: this year. But look at Callaway, he's he got the
Speaker 1: targets the past three weeks. He had ten targets in
Speaker 1: week three, he had nine targets in week four. That
Speaker 1: number went down to just five targets this week. And
Speaker 1: while I know Richard Higgins uh is out, like you mentioned, um,
Speaker 1: Derek Willie's got five targets in this game as well.
Speaker 1: So that was tied with Antonio Callaway and overall, Cavaway
Speaker 1: just hasn't done much with his targets on the year,
Speaker 1: So I think it's just a lot of Jarvis Landry.
Speaker 1: I think we see a lot of David and Joku,
Speaker 1: who has had eleven targets this past week and has
Speaker 1: had seven times at least seven targets and four to
Speaker 1: five games this year. I think it's a lot of
Speaker 1: in Joku, a lot of Landry. We probably see a
Speaker 1: little bit more Duke Johnson sprinkled in here, but overall,
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and really any quarterback has not been on
Speaker 1: the same page with Antonio Callaway right And I just
Speaker 1: don't know that it's going to happen, especially now in
Speaker 1: a game where we just saw his targets um come
Speaker 1: down instead of kind of stay consistent where they were at.
Speaker 1: And then a guy like Derek Willis who did not
Speaker 1: play much in this game, but he still had the
Speaker 1: same number of targets as Antonio Callaway. Um. Overall, I'm
Speaker 1: just not very excited about him. I'd rather take a
Speaker 1: shot on you know, some of these guys, Like what's
Speaker 1: the difference between Robbie Anderson and Antonio Callaway right now?
Speaker 1: They're they're both d threats for their respective teams. Except
Speaker 1: we've actually seen Robbie Anderson do it one week out
Speaker 1: of the season. We haven't seen Antonio Callaway do it yet.
Speaker 1: That's true, That's completely true. How How is Duke Johnson
Speaker 1: out there? Um? The Duke? I just picked him up
Speaker 1: this past week just because, like I, you know, in
Speaker 1: my home league, which is deeper than usual, it's like
Speaker 1: seven bench spots and like we start like eleven positions,
Speaker 1: I felt like he should be owned. He's out. So
Speaker 1: he's out there in Yahoo, I know you don't. He's
Speaker 1: owning thirty six percent of leagues. Yahoo ownership is usually low,
Speaker 1: usually lower. So yeah, let me pull this up in CBS,
Speaker 1: where I just picked him up. With thirty six percent
Speaker 1: of leagues, i'd imagine it's probably a closer to fifty.
Speaker 1: It's forty percent on cbstent on CBS, ESPN, he's owning
Speaker 1: fifty one and a half percent, So he's about owning
Speaker 1: half league hal half leagues. I was probably worth picking
Speaker 1: up Man still in terms of like the running macks
Speaker 1: though that we mentioned in my opinion. Behind the Eagles,
Speaker 1: he's still behind Mike Davis, Deonta Foreman, and Ronald Jones.
Speaker 1: I think I have higher upside because they could be
Speaker 1: the starters for their respective teams. You probably just comes
Speaker 1: in ahead of Kylie Shick. It's about it, okay, So
Speaker 1: that tells you how much you need to know enough
Speaker 1: but fair enough, as I had more than five carries
Speaker 1: in any game this year, targets have been inconsistent. He's
Speaker 1: had six twice. In the other three games he's had two.
Speaker 1: He said two, he had one. Well, it should be
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction with the injury. Chard, Higgins
Speaker 1: and Jogu arerope as well. Yeah, we'll get more to
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, more players that you can drop. It's
Speaker 1: pretty much the same players we always say. But but
Speaker 1: we're you nervous to drop them. Let's talk about that
Speaker 1: when we come back. Fantasy Best Friends Forever. Fantasy Sports Radie.

Speaker 1: s HY Back with you here in the Fantasy Best
Speaker 1: Friends Forever Fantasy Sports Ray Network. I feel like there
Speaker 1: was a name that we should mention. I just saw
Speaker 1: it in the YouTube chat. Alfred Morris only owning fifty
Speaker 1: percent of leagues and was probably dropped in a lot.
Speaker 1: Actually in one of my home leagues. I had no
Speaker 1: choice but to drop him last week because, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to drop the Bears defense, and I
Speaker 1: needed a defense while they were on the buy. My
Speaker 1: running backs in that league war, you know, mark ingram
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle, Alex Collins, Safwan Barkley. Alfred Morris was clearly
Speaker 1: my worst running back, so I went out and dropped
Speaker 1: him so he might be available in your league. He's
Speaker 1: h He's owning about fifty of CBS leagues. He played
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps uh this past week, which was
Speaker 1: his highest over the past three weeks for them. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, Kyle Uscheck actually played of the snaps for
Speaker 1: San Francisco this past week. So whenever they're trailing and
Speaker 1: they're behind. This is kind of why I mentioned Kyle
Speaker 1: Check just because whenever they're trailing and are behind, which
Speaker 1: I think is going to be a decent amount because
Speaker 1: like the forty Niners are just not very good right now.
Speaker 1: With the c J. Betha as their quarterback, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be on the field and c J Better likes to
Speaker 1: throw the ball to the running back. He's you know,
Speaker 1: Mr checkdown. I know that's something that Corey Parson, the
Speaker 1: Fantasy executive, has dubbed. But if Alfred Morris was dropped,
Speaker 1: I think he's the guy that you look at. And
Speaker 1: then with the news about Lashawn McCoy kind of being
Speaker 1: inquired on by the Philadelphia Eagles, we need to throw
Speaker 1: out um Chris Ivory Chris Ivory as a as a
Speaker 1: possible speculative ad in deeper leagues, just because if Shan
Speaker 1: McCoy is traded, we saw that big usage game out
Speaker 1: of Chris Ivory. Again, Look, the Bills offensive line is
Speaker 1: not great. When he means the Bills overall are not great.
Speaker 1: But anytime you could get a running back who could
Speaker 1: potentially be the starter for his team if Lasha mcoy
Speaker 1: were treated, I think you gotta look into it. He's
Speaker 1: only owning sixteen of CBS. Yeah, I think you throw
Speaker 1: a little bit on Ivory. I don't think ultimately, where
Speaker 1: would Alfred Morris rank among the group of running backs
Speaker 1: that spoke about today. He's he's probably he's probably ahead
Speaker 1: of Mike Davis, is for sure. I was considering putt
Speaker 1: him ahead of the Eagles as well, man because with
Speaker 1: this range, if this team trains Briller Sean Good, it's
Speaker 1: a disaster. True, but that's just speculative right now, Like
Speaker 1: we don't know. Yeah, he's probably right in that same range.
Speaker 1: I would say close. I think he's ahead of Mike Davis.
Speaker 1: I think I was very close with the Eagles guys.
Speaker 1: But again, the forty nine is not a good team. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend a lot of fab on
Speaker 1: him either, like twelve to fiftcent. But here's probably my max.
Speaker 1: I'm Alfred Moore. So here here was the thing, right,
Speaker 1: And I said when he was a small one, I
Speaker 1: was gonna spend eight twelve percent. I said it was
Speaker 1: the number Mike Davis eight. I don't remember anymore. Mike
Speaker 1: Davis was eight twelve. And then I think you said
Speaker 1: fifteen percent for small Wood, right. I know I gave
Speaker 1: these numbers, but I think when it was all said
Speaker 1: and done, I think I would put the highest bid
Speaker 1: on Alfred Morris. I really think I would. I get
Speaker 1: the Niners are terrible and you can never get away
Speaker 1: from Kyle Shanahan running back. You're right, You're absolutely right,
Speaker 1: and buy it man, they do, I understand that. And
Speaker 1: they use Alfred Morris a lot this past week, and
Speaker 1: Matt Brina actually scored the receiving touchdown down near the
Speaker 1: goal line. Maybe normally that would be an outfite to
Speaker 1: know how much how often the forty Niners offense is
Speaker 1: going to get near the goal line? How many points
Speaker 1: are they going to score this year? With c J. Bethard,
Speaker 1: They're just an absolute mess. So I agree that he
Speaker 1: needs to be owned in more than of leagues. He's
Speaker 1: probably like a must add player just because just while
Speaker 1: Matt Brina misses time which looks like it might be
Speaker 1: like two to four weeks or whatever, what you know,
Speaker 1: Like I just I don't. I don't feel great about
Speaker 1: any of these Russians, like the Eagles. The honestly, the
Speaker 1: one that high us on the right right now is
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I'm not high on the Eagles because they
Speaker 1: use a lot of their guys. Forty Niners are just
Speaker 1: not a great team that you want to buy in on.
Speaker 1: The The Texans can't run the football tree the Bucks
Speaker 1: can't run the football. So what are we talking about it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I get it, man, I I completely get it. We
Speaker 1: wanted the wide receivers, so I want to get that
Speaker 1: in as well. You look at the wide receivers are
Speaker 1: out there this week. Not much here either there. In
Speaker 1: all honesty to me, the number one wide receiver out
Speaker 1: there is probably Robbie Anderson. He's owning thirty eight percent
Speaker 1: of fantasy leagues. Listen, only caught three balls, two of
Speaker 1: them were touchdowns on Sunday. But Sam Donald basically said, listen,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take some shots deep now, and and they did.
Speaker 1: Um Anderson's own and thirty percent of CBS leagues. Are
Speaker 1: you buying back in on your boy? Uh? Not really.
Speaker 1: We spoke about him a little bit yesterday. I just
Speaker 1: don't know that there's gonna be much consistency there with him.
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm wrong, maybe they continue to take deep
Speaker 1: shots every single week now with Robbie Anderson. But the
Speaker 1: thing is, how often is he going to convert those
Speaker 1: deep shots that they take, and it's really it helps
Speaker 1: if Quincy and Nouma misses any time now because of
Speaker 1: this hand or risk injury, obviously, that would help Robbie Anderson.
Speaker 1: I think he's just kind of like a bye week guy.
Speaker 1: He's a boom er bus guy. I don't know that
Speaker 1: we ever see much consistency out of him, just because
Speaker 1: Sam Donald is the quarterback. I think we saw obviously
Speaker 1: much more consistency out of Robbie Anderson. Last year we
Speaker 1: had a guy like Josh mccowens, a gun slinger, was
Speaker 1: willing to just kind of like throw the ball down
Speaker 1: the field and let his wide rechievers make a play.
Speaker 1: And again I could be wrong, but I just don't
Speaker 1: trust that to me. The guys who I think who
Speaker 1: are I'd rather add over Robbie Anderson. Kikuta, who we
Speaker 1: spoke about last week, is still own, so a lot
Speaker 1: of people. I don't think that they bought in ultimately
Speaker 1: on him, but I do think that he fits right
Speaker 1: into this offense very well. Though he used in Texans
Speaker 1: offense have Hopkins on the outside to have a full
Speaker 1: learn the outside, and then they have Kiki just kind
Speaker 1: of like roaming over the middle of the field close
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage. And I like guys like
Speaker 1: this for teams that can't run the football because they're
Speaker 1: using him as an extension of the run game. And
Speaker 1: if you watch that game on Sunday night, they line
Speaker 1: him up in the backfield, they have like these trick
Speaker 1: plays where he kind of like runs across, kind of
Speaker 1: like how the Chief use Tyreek Hill. They're using Kiki
Speaker 1: Kota in a sim her way in Houston. So to me,
Speaker 1: if he's still out there in your league, only owning
Speaker 1: forty one percent of leagues, he's the top wide receiver
Speaker 1: AD for me. And then another guy who I'd rather
Speaker 1: own than Robbie Anderson, it's Mohammed Sanu. Everyone talking about
Speaker 1: Julio Jones every single week, you talk about Calvin Ridley
Speaker 1: every single week, it's mohammeds Knew who's being targeted. He's converting.
Speaker 1: He has more touchdowns on the season than Julio Jones does.
Speaker 1: And not to mention he has a great, great matchup
Speaker 1: this week going up against the Tampa Bay Bucks secondary.
Speaker 1: So you're you lost out on a lot of wide
Speaker 1: receivers this week because of the Lions on a bye,
Speaker 1: because of the Saints on a bye. We have no
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, no Golden Tate, no Marvin Jones, no Kenny Golladay.
Speaker 1: You need to replace these guys. I trust a guy
Speaker 1: like Mohammed Sanu going up against the Tampa Bay Bucks
Speaker 1: more so than I do Robbie Anderson, even though it's
Speaker 1: a solid matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. So I like
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu and Kikuta more so than Robbie this week.
Speaker 1: I like for sure because I think his role in
Speaker 1: the offense is secure. You like him in the slot,
Speaker 1: I cannot on the ball. He gave the great reasons.
Speaker 1: With Fuller and Um Hawkins on the outside and Kiki's
Speaker 1: doing his thing inside, it made sense. So Kicky's my
Speaker 1: number one guy. I think Robbie Anderson would be too,
Speaker 1: depending on the availability of Jonada Allison Randall Cobb. Let
Speaker 1: me say that. Let me preface it with that Um
Speaker 1: Robby and would probably be too for me. I'm not
Speaker 1: buying the upside. Mohammedsan New is just very very small.
Speaker 1: See the same thing every year though the past three
Speaker 1: weeks at least seven targets in every game, right, Like
Speaker 1: he's the one who's consistently getting targets. And I know
Speaker 1: I spoke about this with Calvin Ridley last week, and
Speaker 1: I still do like Calvin Ridley because he gets a
Speaker 1: lot of single coverage, He's going to have opportunities to
Speaker 1: score touchdowns. We saw a lot of Calvin Lee touchdowns
Speaker 1: this year have been wide open, nobody around him, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't be surprised if he scores a
Speaker 1: touchdown again this week because it is a very good
Speaker 1: matchup against the Tampa Bay Bucks. But if you look
Speaker 1: at snap percentage and total targets right now, Hamed san
Speaker 1: New is still the number two wide receiver on this team,
Speaker 1: and I think we need to respect that. You're right,
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right by that. But like, how much upside
Speaker 1: does Robbie Anderson have in an offense with Sam Donald
Speaker 1: as the quarterback? So I think that's a question that
Speaker 1: kind of a Noah offense with Jeremy b It is
Speaker 1: what they took shots, and I wonder if what we
Speaker 1: saw this on it it is a thing that we're
Speaker 1: gonna like, It's a thing to come ultimately. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just feel like that the target usage overall is just
Speaker 1: kind of like I get it, out on the Jets,
Speaker 1: like there's no number one guy. We even saw Terrell
Speaker 1: Prior score a touchdown in this game. Noon, you know
Speaker 1: when healthy is still going to get his targets. I
Speaker 1: think height ends are kind of sprinkled in with Jordan
Speaker 1: Leggett and and Chris Herndon. So I think what you
Speaker 1: really like about mohammedson new is this the first three
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. Even the one where he had
Speaker 1: seven targets, his long reception was thirteen yards, right, Like,
Speaker 1: there's there's nothing down the field. Two weeks ago there's
Speaker 1: a thirty six year recepsion, and then last week there
Speaker 1: was there was a bomb for a forty three year reception.
Speaker 1: You like that a lot, And they're taking shots with
Speaker 1: him down the field. It's not just Julio Jones and
Speaker 1: it's not just Calvin Ridley. So you want to spend
Speaker 1: a couple of dollars dollars in Mohammedsan you find like
Speaker 1: he is as he is every single year, Like I
Speaker 1: put flex playing like all right, maybe you get something
Speaker 1: done and I don't think that changes. So I think
Speaker 1: you're actually this week against Tampa, especially this week against Tampa,
Speaker 1: I think you're right about that. I think we would
Speaker 1: have said the same thing realistically last week. It's Pittsburgh too,
Speaker 1: like you really, especially Pittsburgh, and it works. And I
Speaker 1: had Mohammed's new ranked, you know, inside my top forty,
Speaker 1: I believe, last week. So I didn't have him quite
Speaker 1: as like a wide receiver three. He was right there
Speaker 1: on the cut off. But in my in my home
Speaker 1: league havel PPR, He's had at least thirteen points six
Speaker 1: fantasy points in each of the past three games. He's
Speaker 1: had a touchdown or at least a hundred and eleven
Speaker 1: yards receiving in each of the past three games. And
Speaker 1: now he gets uh match up with the Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: Bucks for allowing the second most fantasy points to opposing
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I'm in at least for this week eight
Speaker 1: four four eight four three six st eight seven not
Speaker 1: I was taking your calls here on the Fantasy Sports Network,
Speaker 1: other wide receivers. Let me get an MVS. Let's do
Speaker 1: it m v s. Radel Cobb. We're not gonna hear about.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna hear enough about JOHNO. Allison. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna hear an about before waivers go through for people
Speaker 1: tonight into Wednesday. If MVS is still out there and
Speaker 1: he isn't what a few leagues, how much do you
Speaker 1: spend on him not knowing the deal of the other
Speaker 1: wide receivers in Green Bay? The number that comes to mind,
Speaker 1: it's like seven or eight percent right off the bat
Speaker 1: with MVS. And I think, look, a lot of people
Speaker 1: are gonna say, well, you know, he's gonna be the
Speaker 1: wide receiver four once Alison and Cobb come back. Sometimes
Speaker 1: these things have a weird way of working out where,
Speaker 1: you know, if it just so happens that Aaron Rodgers says, no,
Speaker 1: this kid has earned my trust. You know, I target
Speaker 1: him double digit times last week he converted you know,
Speaker 1: he called I believe you call like six of those
Speaker 1: he had, you know, six yards and a touchdown. If
Speaker 1: it just so happened that he's like, no, like, let's
Speaker 1: move on from Randall Cobb, Like they're going to listen
Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers. So there's always a chance, especially in
Speaker 1: this potent passing attack. Aaron Rodgers looked like he turned
Speaker 1: that corner. He looks like Aaron Rodgers again. Over four
Speaker 1: passing yards and three touchdowns this past week. They haven't
Speaker 1: really been able to run the ball all that effectively.
Speaker 1: I think anytime you see a guy on the packers
Speaker 1: receiving corps have a big game like this, you have
Speaker 1: to be interested. Even if you know if everyone's health,
Speaker 1: he's the number four guy, I think he's still gotta
Speaker 1: take a shot. Okay, would you rather take a shot
Speaker 1: on MVS or take the shot on Josh Reynolds because
Speaker 1: he's in a very similar position. Brandon Cookes, Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: both couldn't cussed last week in week five weeks six.
Speaker 1: Although Sean they optimistic about both guys, he's not. He's
Speaker 1: got a little Pete Carrollton where he's optimistic about all
Speaker 1: of his players. Who are you taking the shot on
Speaker 1: MVS or Josh Reynolds. I think it's a good question,
Speaker 1: But I take a shot on MVS, a guy that
Speaker 1: we just saw do it this past week against the
Speaker 1: defense which is pretty respectable in the line secondary, So
Speaker 1: I would take MVS. I think it's a it's a
Speaker 1: fair question. But if you play in deeper leagues where
Speaker 1: you know Mark has Valdes Scantling was already picked up
Speaker 1: last week, and you own Brandon Cookes or your own
Speaker 1: Cooper cup and you're and you're really in a bind
Speaker 1: and you just you need a guy to pick up
Speaker 1: in case, just to be sure if one of those
Speaker 1: guys don't go. And I think Josh Reynolds kind of
Speaker 1: comes into play there more so. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: like a universal like must add kind of guy. Fair enough,
Speaker 1: And with that, we're gonna sign off uge for today.
Speaker 1: I remember the Fantasy Football Frenzy comes your way. Next,
Speaker 1: Chris Venture, Jim Day, and the Fantasy executive Corey Parson.
Speaker 1: If you're still with us, we appreciate it. We go
Speaker 1: for the next five minutes to the top of the hour,
Speaker 1: and we're live on the radio. If you listen to
Speaker 1: the podcast for sure you subscribe, rate us five stars
Speaker 1: and leave us a comment. We're on the phone lines now,
Speaker 1: Frank before we wrap eight four eight four, three, seven nine,
Speaker 1: and we begin with Chris and l A. What's up? Chris, Hey,
Speaker 1: good morning, guys, Hey guys, I I got proposed. I'm
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm in at ten team PPR League
Speaker 1: and I have James Conner. I got proposed Marshall H.
Speaker 1: Lynch and John Brown for Connor, and I also have
Speaker 1: three coin how one are your thoughts on that just
Speaker 1: because of Bell possibly coming back? What was that? What
Speaker 1: was they was Lynch and John Rown, Honnor and Cohen
Speaker 1: for Marshall, Lynch and John Brown in a full PPR.
Speaker 1: Who are your wide receivers again? So I got Hilton
Speaker 1: and I have Stefon Diggs, and I also have Cup
Speaker 1: I used once in a while, has a flex mhm.
Speaker 1: I was I was wondering because of uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to keep Connor, but just because Bell might
Speaker 1: be coming back. Yeah, no, I get it. Listen, it's
Speaker 1: it's a fair concern, and I'm very I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Keeping Connor is like the high upside play on the
Speaker 1: off chance that Levian Bell gets traded. I think I
Speaker 1: would do the trade. I think I would cover myself.
Speaker 1: You also, he also into was like, I know it's PPR,
Speaker 1: but he's still like solid in RB three he's a
Speaker 1: flex two in honesty, UM, here's my here's my real interest. Um,
Speaker 1: basically John Brown at the wide receiver position. He needs him.
Speaker 1: John Browns was target to double the just like every
Speaker 1: game in fourteen. Targets is past correct and with te
Speaker 1: why Hilton banged up, Cooper Cup banged up he needs
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, and I think John Brown pushing me
Speaker 1: over the edge. I know John, I know James Connor
Speaker 1: is great, but I I think you played with a
Speaker 1: long term. You make the championship move. I think you
Speaker 1: make the deal. It's tough one. That good question. Man.
Speaker 1: We'll have the trade show tomorrow too. So I have
Speaker 1: a feeling James Conner's name is gonna come up a
Speaker 1: lot like a sell high candidates. But it makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense. Eight four four eight four three six
Speaker 1: seven nine. Let's go out to Nathan in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: What's up, Nathan? Hey, what's up? Guys? How are you
Speaker 1: doing good? What's up? Dude? Yeah? So I'm a five
Speaker 1: in oh for this week, so I'm undefeat it still
Speaker 1: here and I need. I'm trying to trade Jimmy Graham
Speaker 1: because he hasn't done anything right now. Uh So, actually
Speaker 1: I'm seeing Greg old kind of available on my fantasy
Speaker 1: waiveror bar and if I don't trade Jimmy Graham, what
Speaker 1: is the latest on Greg Goldson? Do you guys know
Speaker 1: or no? So the latest was Greg Oldson practice last
Speaker 1: week trying he's trying to return this week. He's trying
Speaker 1: to return this week if he's not very optimist next week.
Speaker 1: And I think mentioning him as a as a waiver
Speaker 1: ad right now is very sneaky. He's owning six percent
Speaker 1: of leagues, but he might be out there in like
Speaker 1: ten team leagues. Greg. So if so, if I can trade,
Speaker 1: if I can't trade Jimmy Graham because I have Zach
Speaker 1: Roots in my starting lineup, so I'm keeping keeping him.
Speaker 1: But if I don't find the trade partner for Jimmy Graham,
Speaker 1: is it? Do you think I should drop him for
Speaker 1: Greg Olson? Or I wouldn't. I wouldn't drop Jimmy Graham
Speaker 1: for Greig Golson. I think they're kind of similar. But look,
Speaker 1: you have Zach ertz Um. I agree with trying to
Speaker 1: trade Jimmy Graham. Look, if you have Earth's like it,
Speaker 1: it doesn't you know, it doesn't make sense to have Graham.
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of teams that are hurting
Speaker 1: at the tight end position. So I think at the
Speaker 1: least you should be able to turn Jimmy Graham into
Speaker 1: like a flex running back or a high end wide
Speaker 1: receiver three. So that's something I would look into. And
Speaker 1: then if you trade Jimmy Graham. Once you do that,
Speaker 1: then you pick up a Greg Olsen just to like
Speaker 1: cover yourself, to have that backup tight end. But I
Speaker 1: don't think it's really necessary to be honest. Four four
Speaker 1: eight four three six seven nine. Let's go out to
Speaker 1: Stephen in Massachusetts. What's up, Stephen? Hey? What's up? My man?
Speaker 1: What's up? Dude? Al Right, So I'll try to be
Speaker 1: quick for you. So I'm trying of struggling right now.
Speaker 1: I have the number two Waiver acclaim and uh we
Speaker 1: have one of those small woods out there, and I
Speaker 1: have a chance to pick him up. But the problem
Speaker 1: is is on the ESPN leagues, I have like I
Speaker 1: R spots and Leonard four nets on my I R spot.
Speaker 1: But I guess like instead of him being ruled out
Speaker 1: even though like you should be, it says he's listed
Speaker 1: as doubtful. That's thanks, that's brutal. Who else can you
Speaker 1: drop that? Uh? So these are the people that I
Speaker 1: can We got ten seconds, dude, all right, Derrick, Henry
Speaker 1: buck Allen and uh Ronald Jones. Would you drive any
Speaker 1: of those guys? Boyndel Small and Frankie I wouldn't neither
Speaker 1: would I. You can't do it? I'm sorry, Stephen for
Speaker 1: Franks Standile. My name is Gregs with the Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: Frenzy comes your way next Chris Venture, Corey Parson, and
Speaker 1: Jim Day. Thank you so much for watching The Fantasy
Speaker 1: Best Friends Forever. We'll do it all go tomorrow, we
