00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: the official fantasy football show of the NFL, and that

12
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: Money Smith here with the Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano.

13
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: Remember you can always follow us and tweet the show

14
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: at NFL Fantasy Fabs. Nothing more important, I think to

15
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: you the Hall of Famer than running back, specifically RB Ones.

16
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: And there has been a rash of injuries across the

17
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: NFL at all positions this season, but some big news

18
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: coming out of Houston right now, because on Monday, Texans

19
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: running back Arian Foster told the media he's still day

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: to day as he deals with that hamstring injury, and

21
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: Foster went on to say, as soon as I feel

22
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: a hundred percent, I'll be out there. It's my hamstrings.

23
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Call Aryan worked out prior to last Sunday's game, but

24
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: then didn't suit up fabs. Arian's been dealing with this

25
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: hamstring issue for about two months now, So how nervous

26
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: should his owners be? Very nervous. This is something that

27
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: we talked about in the preseason on the show, Aryan.

28
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: Foster's durability is a major issue coming off back surgery,

29
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: then he had the hamstring issue. This thing is lingering.

30
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: We're talking about a couple of months with this. You

31
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: need to pick up Alfred Blue right now. That is

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: the move to make unless you can get someone like

33
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Donald Brown off the waiver wire, because Blue looks like

34
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: the guy who's going to carry the mail for that

35
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: Houston Texans offense over the next few weeks are into

36
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future until Foster can come back, and right

37
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: now we don't know when that is well, you know,

38
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: and Nile Davis is not there. And in the case

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: of Jamal Charles and now Arie and Foster, you see

40
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: why drafting that handcuff in the eighth round is so

41
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: important if they're gonna take a running back in the

42
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: first round. All right, for more, let's throw it over

43
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: to Marcus and Adam and all the latest headlines. Thanks money,

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: I am Marcus Grant. This guy here to my left

45
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: is the fantasy Maverick Adam. Right, we're getting you caught

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: up with all the latest news and notes from around

47
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: the NFL, starting in San Diego. The Chargers confirmed Monday

48
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: that running back Danny Woodhead is heading to injured reserve.

49
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: NFL media insider Ian Rappaport reports that Woodhead had successful

50
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: surgery on his broken fibulum Monday, also had sprained ankle ligaments.

51
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: Rank the Chargers, already missing Ryan Matthews due a sprained

52
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: MCL is that McDonald brown a good flex option. Flex option.

53
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: He's my number one option in a couple of leagues.

54
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: He had thirty one carries last week against the Bills

55
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: and did pretty well. Again. You know, his yards per

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: carry wasn't very good, but watching that game, his last

57
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: eight to ten carries were in the fourth quarter. The

58
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: Charger we were trying to bleed the clock, So don't

59
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: be too concerned about that. This week against the Jags,

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: he's got a great matchup, So make sure he's in

61
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: your lineup. Yeah, maybe a Brandon Oliver may come into

62
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: play two in deeper leagues there and say, absolutely check

63
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: that out. Panthers head coach Ron Rivera told the media

64
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: Monday that running running back Jonathan Stewart has a severely

65
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: sprained right knee and will not be practicing. Rivera says

66
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: the team will reassess the situation on Friday. Mike Tullbert

67
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: Tuesday was placed on i R with the designation to

68
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: return in The'angelo Williams is working through a thigh injury.

69
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: Panthers right now pretty thin at running back ranks. If

70
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: worth grabbing Fozzy Whittaker, maybe even Darren Reeves in deeper leagues, yeah,

71
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: because with Fozzy Whittaker you can make all sorts of

72
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: Chris Jericho references and have a good time and throw

73
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: up the horns and I can't wait for him to win.

74
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: That helps no One next week. But it's one of

75
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: those situations where I know some leagues play team quarterbacks

76
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: where it's like you get the quarterback, you get his backup.

77
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: They need to do that with the Panthers running backs.

78
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: Just if we can draft the Panthers running backs. I

79
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: would just let there's one solid unit right there, hopefully

80
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: to Angela Williams comes back. But if not, Fazzi Whittaker,

81
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: he starts, you gotta you gotta give him a look. Yeah, well,

82
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: Williams coming six teams on a buy. Williams coming back

83
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: solves that equation for a lot of people. Some bad

84
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: news coming for the Minnesota Vikings. Albert Breer is reporting

85
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: that an m R I on tight end Kyle Rudolph's

86
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: groin revealed that he will need a sports ernie operation

87
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: and will likely be sidelined for about six weeks. Rank

88
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: everyone knows North Turner loves to use tight ends in

89
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: his passing game. Is it worth taking a flyer on

90
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: Red Ellison? Or maybe you looking somewhere else for a

91
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: tight end? Help check your league roster or excuse me,

92
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: your league's waiver wire and see who's available. But well,

93
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: you're talking about a number of guys coming up here.

94
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: A little bit later on in the show. The first

95
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: one that comes to mind is Duwayne Allen. He's been

96
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: fantastic with the cold Sniles, Paul very good option with

97
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: the Reskins going up on Thursday eight show, I would

98
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: take a look around. And the thing with Kyle Rudolph,

99
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: which is tricky, it's how deep is your team because

100
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: in one league I had to drop him. I just

101
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: don't have I have no Sean Murrain, no pretty much

102
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: every injured running back I've got on my roster. So

103
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: I had to drop Kyle Rudolph. But you know, if

104
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: you can get Dwayne Allen or Delaney Walker or somebody

105
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: who's out there, you gotta go ahead and make them

106
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: amazing that Dwayne Allen is still available in so many weeks. Though,

107
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: what have we been telling? Seriously, more bad news at

108
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: the tight end spot. This is gonna be a theme today.

109
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta underwent surgery to repair his

110
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: dislocated right hip on Monday. He has done for the season,

111
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: but it has now had back to back seasons where

112
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: he's dislocated his hip. Offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak loves getting

113
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: his tight ends involved drinking. With the tight end position

114
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: being so slim, shouldn't been owners go out and grab Owen. Now,

115
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: this is a situation where I would go and grab

116
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: the next guy up because as you said, he has

117
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: a history with Kubiak and He's familiar with the offense,

118
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: and Joe Flacca just likes his tight end. Show this

119
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: is a better option here. Yes, if you want to

120
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: go still, I look at Dwayne Allen is the guy

121
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: who keep beating this drum over and over again. Dwayne

122
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: Allen would be my number one priority. But if you're

123
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: in a deeper league and no one Daniels is the

124
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: best available, I'm pretty comfortable with that. Yeah. We saw

125
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: Daniels that two touchdown game a couple of weeks ago.

126
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: Much Joe Flacco of Dennis Pitta owners of which I am,

127
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: although you know, I do like Steve Smith though. I

128
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 1: think this increases Steve Smith's red zone chances. Yeah, because

129
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: he's because Joe Flacco is really locked in on him

130
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: and they've never really replaced the production that an Quan

131
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: Bolden was giving them near the end zone. So if

132
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: Steve Smith, for whatever reason, they's still out there, go

133
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 1: grab a go absolutely. On Monday, Titans quarterback Jake Locker

134
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: underwent an m r I on his right wrist. Locker

135
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: status for the team's Week four matchup with the Colts

136
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: is still uncertain. If Locker is out, Charlie Whitehurst is

137
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: listening as the team's back up. Of course, Zach Mettenberger

138
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: is still hanging around there as well. What happened to

139
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: the fantasy values of guys like de Laney Walker, Kindle Right,

140
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: Justin Hunter? If Locker doesn't play well. When you think

141
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: of guys like Justin Hunter, who we are very high

142
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: on in the preseason, I think his value is completely nuked.

143
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: White right still had a little bit of value in

144
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: PPR leagues, and De Lady Walker is still in the mix.

145
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: Because I would like to think whoever the quarterback is,

146
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be targeting the tight end who's been playing

147
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: so well this season. It would seem foolish not to

148
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: look at Delandy Walker not to target him for as

149
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: good as he's been playing. Yeah, backup quarterback could mean

150
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: some more things for Sean Green as well in the

151
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: running game for more. Now, what's awesome? Back to money

152
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: and fabs. All right, thank you, Marcus. Well, let's get

153
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: to that Monday night or the Bears took on the

154
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: Jets in East Rutherford. So the highlights here, they are

155
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy points for your squad. Perhaps you

156
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: were behind and j Cutler guaranteed you victory. Jets get

157
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: the ball first, just the second play of the game.

158
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: And how about Geno Smith? His past intercepted by Ryan Mundy,

159
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: and that is a pick six. The Bears up early

160
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: seven nothing. Now the Jets muff a punt, the Bears

161
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Here we go, third and goal.

162
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: Jake Cutler stands strong in the pocket and hits Martelis Bennett.

163
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: What is it about Bennett in September? He's awesome in September. Well,

164
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: let's I don't know, change the calendar in his locker

165
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: or something. Give it some October September till keep it going.

166
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: Here you go now, Bears up fourteen nothing. Late second

167
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: quarter Geno Smith, Jeremy Curley seventeen thirteen the Bears at

168
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: the half. The Jets seemed to seize all the momentum.

169
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: But in the third quarter it's Jay Cutler al Shan

170
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: Jeffrey a big forty two yard gain nearly twelve points

171
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: for el Sean Jeffrey. He did not have a touchdown either.

172
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: Later in the drive Bears on third and eleven. And

173
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: in September, as you said, it's Martella's been said. I

174
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: was not happy that Rex Ryan left him out of

175
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: that conversation when you mentioned fort Jeffrey and uh and

176
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Marsham one Amias spare Tire. Well, there you go,

177
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, first down Gino Smith to the end zone,

178
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: and there's a rookie child Fuller had two interceptions against

179
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: forty nine. Is another one this week? Jets miss a

180
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: big opportunity to the fourth quarter, just a minute left

181
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: in the game. Jets down eight, fourth down, Gino Smith,

182
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: Jeremy Curley out of bounds, the coverage by the rookie

183
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: Brock Vereene out of Minnesota. I have no idea. The

184
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: Golden Gopher Bears seven nineteen Cutler. There you see with

185
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: the sixteen and a half points, that's a good outing,

186
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: especially on the road on a Monday night. See the

187
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: bottom there of the Bears defense teen fantasy points, Jeremy

188
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: Curley with that touchdown a little bit over fourteen, and

189
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: of course Martella's Bennett with his two touchdowns a big

190
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: time target for Jay Cutler in the red zone led

191
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: the way. So let's start with the winning side and

192
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler, he is currently the fourth ranked fantasy quarterback

193
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: out there. Is he a QB one for you? A

194
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: starter every week? Well, I don't know if he's a

195
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: starter every week. It depends on who you also drafted.

196
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: Because remember, Color was a guy you picked late. He

197
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: was of the ilk of I wait on a quarterback

198
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: and I draft running back and wide receivers early. So

199
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: if you have someone who is elite ahead of him, well,

200
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: Tom Rick in the trade, J Clor of course not.

201
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: J Culer has been much better than Tom Brady. I'm

202
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: talking about elite in fantasy. Payton, Manning, Drew Brees, guys

203
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: like that. But Color has become a QB one, no

204
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: question about it. The mad scientist Mark Trustman strikes again.

205
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: He has looked extreme good. He's playing the Packers this

206
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: week in Chicago. He's a top ten quarterback right now

207
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: as long as he's healthy, and the always elusive tight

208
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: end position when it comes to fantasy. We move on

209
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: to Martella Spennett. He is currently the number two scoring

210
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: tight end in fantasy. He has a t D in

211
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: each of his three games this season. We don't need

212
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: to tell you to start him, because you're gonna start

213
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: him because of how thin the tight end position is.

214
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: I know you like those trends that say he's only

215
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: good in September but I mean, look at his numbers

216
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: since two thousand and twelve, he scored fourteen touchdowns money

217
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: ten have come in September. So are you gonna Benship

218
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: in October five? I'm gonna for the October, especially now

219
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: if I have another tight end who I like in confident,

220
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm not confident in that I could start sell him high.

221
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: I would. I would take the opposite position and say,

222
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: it's clear that Jake Cutler loves Martella s Bennett in

223
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: the red zone, and your September trend be damned. I

224
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: will absolutely keep him on my team because I don't

225
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: want to do I mean, look, if I've got Jimmy

226
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: Graham or if I've got Julius Thomas, that I'll train.

227
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: But if I don't, I'm not training Martelly. And a

228
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: lot of people are desperate at tight end right now.

229
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: You know you got you picked up Delaney Walker off

230
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, and you're gonna trade Martellis Bennett. Absolutely

231
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: not for him, Buddy Mark, I will roll with old

232
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: Bennet all right. Alshon Jeffrey Brandon Marshall was injured for

233
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: much of this game. He had a single catch, so

234
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: that very well could have been why you see el

235
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: Shan Jeffrey there with the ten receptions and a hundred

236
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: and thirteen scrimmage yards. But again, I guess it just

237
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: goes to my Martellis Benett point, fads, You're not sitting

238
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: out Sean Jeffrey, You're starting. No. He was phenomenal last year,

239
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: finishing the top ten and Fantasy points among wide receivers.

240
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: Had a slow star, has been a bit banged up,

241
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: but looked very good against the Jets. And they can't

242
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: stop the pass either, so that was another advantage for Jeffrey.

243
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: I liked him coming into this contest, and as you mentioned,

244
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall banged up, so Jeffrey saw the majority of

245
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: the targets from j Cutler. He is a high end

246
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver to moving forward, My biggest takeaway from this

247
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: game fantasy wise is the same thing we brought up

248
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: last week after the forty Niners game, and that's that

249
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: nobody owns the Bears defense, or if they do, they're

250
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: not starting them right now. They are tied for the

251
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: second best defense in Fantasy thirty two points this season,

252
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: and they are not owned by anyone. How about twenty

253
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: four percent ownership in NFL dot Com leads, and they

254
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: were started in less than percent of NFL dot Com

255
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: fantasy league. You remember this from Love You Smith. Melt

256
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: Tucker is a similar defensive coordinator, runs the same four

257
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: three scheme and opportunistic defense with Kyle Fuller that ball

258
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: hawking rookie. Granted, the back end has been decimated with

259
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: Chris Konti out, Ryan Mundy went out. They had two

260
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: rookies back there, a guy that had never played an

261
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: NFL snap before. But the corners are still good. It's

262
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 1: still Jenning's and Fuller in that front seven is still good.

263
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: We saw Jared Allen and Young and those guys get

264
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: after it. So absolutely, if that Bears defense is available,

265
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: pick him up off the waiver wire because they are

266
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: going to produce a whole lot of fantasy points. They're

267
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: playing the Packers this week still at Soldier Field. Yeah, absolutely,

268
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: the Packer. That Packers offensive line. Ever since Evan Dietrich

269
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: Smith left the injury. To Brian Blog, it has not

270
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: been the same and Aaron Rodgers has been under durest.

271
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: So I'll take that front four and how they can

272
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback um to the other side of

273
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: the ball. Chris Ivory. Fabs looked like he is the

274
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 1: number one. They're clear number one too. Well. From a

275
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: fantasy respective, he is certainly the best running back there

276
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: for the New York Jets. Chris Johnson just doesn't look good.

277
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: And Chris Johnson was a guy that I owned last

278
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: year and he was maddening. It was so inconsistent weekend

279
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: and week out. Ivory is now the Jets running back

280
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: to play until further notice. Now, Johnson is going to

281
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: see his carries, but Ivory is doing more with those carries. Yeah,

282
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: and especially after that week one with Chris Johnson, everybody

283
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: got excited, but they kind of overlooked Chris Ivory because

284
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: he wasn't Chris Johnson. And he and Ivory had fifty

285
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: two yards receiving last night too, so he can catch

286
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: the ball. What do you do the evenum I'm sitting there, honestly,

287
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: I know that Chris Johnson has got the big name,

288
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been a consistent fantasy producer over the

289
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: last couple of seasons. I know he was a top

290
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: ten running back last year, but again, if you had him,

291
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: he was inconsistent and drove you absolutely crazy at times. Now,

292
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: it's a committee. This is a guy who's up there

293
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: in age. He's had a lot of carries in his career.

294
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson, to me, is no more than a flex starter.

295
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: He never was heading in. Yeah, and we very well

296
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: might have mentioned Geno Smith had he not thrown those

297
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: two brutal interceptions, because he looked good. His foward looks good.

298
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: He was delivering the past as he nearly became all

299
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: the way back through that pass out of the back

300
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: of the end zone. It seems like Jeremy Curley and

301
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: he has something needs to make better decisions. Once he

302
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: starts doing that, he's no question about it. All right.

303
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: Coming up, we have got three weeks of football in

304
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: the books. You'll see which players stocks our experts say

305
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: are soaring and who's are plummeting through the floor. But

306
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm next. We asked you to tweet the show with

307
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: your top week three game changers. So stick around for

308
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,920

319
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live. Today, we'll talk about the players fans say

320
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: helped them the most in Week three and no surprise

321
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: with the numbers he put up against the Jackson Bill

322
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: Jaguars Babs. We start with Andrew Luck. He has been phenomenal.

323
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: Back in the preseason, Andrew Luck was the one guy

324
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: said could break into that top three quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers,

325
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Payton Manning, and he's number one right now,

326
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: and he's twelve points higher than the number two player

327
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: in fantasy football, who is Matt Matt Ryan. So now

328
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm selfishly a little a little worried here because I

329
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: can't put Andrew Luck and start him and sind him anymore.

330
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: So he is too obvious at this point. Look at

331
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: how good he has become in terms of just a

332
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback at the National Football League level, his accuracy,

333
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: his intelligence. This is a guy who does not get rattled.

334
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: He can make plays with his feet as well. So

335
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: Luck right now is a must star quarterback. And there

336
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: I say it better than the top three. And Mad

337
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: Bradshaw is certainly a big impact there for Luck the

338
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: amount he's been using him. How about Nile Davis here,

339
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: Marcus now, Davis stepped in and he was a guy

340
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: who was a handcuff for Jamal Charles coming into the year.

341
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: We certainly didn't expect him to be this much of

342
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: an impact player this soon. But the way he has

343
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: run the football, he looks fantastic. A lot of hard running.

344
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: He's been nifty with his feet, very shifty in the hole.

345
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: They able to bounce it outside as well. And on

346
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: top of being productive, he's getting volume. I mean, the

347
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs are running that offense through the backfield, and so

348
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: you see Davis getting carries, you see him getting catches.

349
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: He's done a whole lot this year. And as long

350
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: as Jamal Charles isn't playing, Davis is a guy to have.

351
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: All right, we get to another running back, Rashad Jennings

352
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: fabs what do we want from our running backs. We

353
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: want volume, we want touch and last week boy Rashad

354
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: Jennings thirty four rush. He's a hundred and seventies six yards.

355
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: Looking him break through the line of scrimmage and make plays.

356
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: Andro Wims is out of the mix here. This is

357
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: all Rashad Jennings. And at twenty nine, he is very young,

358
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: twenty nine, doesn't have a lot of wearing tear on

359
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: his body. Money. He has become a top ten fantasy

360
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: running back and the guy you're starting weekend in a

361
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: week out. You love that goal line look. Quennings has

362
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: become a stuff all right to the wide receiver position

363
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: rank Antonio Brown on Sunday Night Football. Yeah, that's what

364
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: somebody we were in concert with during the preseason about

365
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: how underrated Antonio Brown is. Seemingly each and every year

366
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: you go into fantasy drafts and not a lot of

367
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: buzz around him, and yet he comes out and he's

368
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: very consistent each and every week. He just tied an

369
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: NFL record. He's had at least five receptions in nineteen

370
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: consecutive games, which to me is just amazing. And he's

371
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: very explosive to and the guy that Ben Roethlisberger always

372
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: looks to it always finds a way, like you see

373
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: right there, finds a way of getting open near the

374
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: end zone. And it's so affective because Ben can extend

375
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: plays with his legs. Look at the way he steps

376
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: up in the pocket, moves around that allows Antonio Brown

377
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: to get open and then boom right there, easy points. Yeah,

378
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: we were all trying to figure out who would replace

379
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: Fanny Sanders, and really it looks like it's just gonna

380
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: be Antonio Brown everything. So there you go, John Scheps,

381
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: you were down nineteen points in Antonio Brown's twenty one

382
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: fantasy points got you that victory. I'll stick with the

383
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver position and go with Jeremy Macklin. And what

384
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: was just fantasy gold in that Redskins Eagles game the

385
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: eight receptions, but really it was one giant reception there,

386
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: that touchdown towards the end of that contest in the

387
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: middle of the fourth quarter. And he's the number one

388
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: you know. Wait, we tried to figure out where Riley

389
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: Cooper would fit in the rookie Jordan Matthews. Would it

390
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: be two tight ends with Sellek and Urds. However, Chip

391
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: Kelly and Nick Foles decide this is gonna shake out.

392
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: It's clear the number one guy for them is Jeremy

393
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: Macklin because he's the most talent. I mean, he is

394
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: a big body with crazy four four speed and there's

395
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: no reason why Poles wouldn't look to him. All right,

396
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 1: let's go to Julio Jones. This is a no brainer

397
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: from thursd We gotta go back to Thursday Night. Though

398
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: Marcus absolutely there was a no brain. Look, we were

399
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: worried about his foot injury coming into the season. He

400
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: was wearing the special shup whatever that special shoe with

401
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: I need to figure out how I can find it

402
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: online and by himself. He's been fantastic. On top of it,

403
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is looking for him consistently all over the field.

404
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: He's had night or more targets for the last eight

405
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: games he's played. So it doesn't matter if Devin Hester

406
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: is playing well, if Roddy White is there, when Harry

407
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: Douglas is in, it doesn't matter. Julio Jones is going

408
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: to be the guy they looked for. He could be

409
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: the top three receiver by the time that's all done.

410
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: The mostly present thing about Matt Ryan is the way

411
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: he's facing that pressure because it seemed a year ago

412
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: he'd get really rattled when the defense defenders were surrounding him.

413
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: But he's been throwing really well on the run and

414
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: with Julio Jones and giving Jones extra time to throw.

415
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: It's just the difference that having Julio out there instead

416
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: of just Roddy Well, a banged up Roddy White. Last year,

417
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean that full receiving corps was decimated. And you

418
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: just mentioned a Matt Ryan the second leading quarterback in

419
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: Fantasy through three weeks when they traveled to Minnesota, and

420
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: that was game changers presented by bows. And when we return,

421
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 1: a bunch of Fantasy's top picks have underperformed so far

422
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: this season? Could it be time to deal them away?

423
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: See which players our experts say are on the fantasy

424
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: hot seat. But up next, Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael

425
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: Fabiano reveals his top ten waiver wire targets for Week four.

426
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: This is the one and only NFL Fantasy Live. Kirk

427
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: Cousins going down the center of the field, look at

428
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: the shacks and catch his baby shake the thirty Andrew Hawking,

429
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: Ryan Wich gotta step at it, touchdown Austin Bryant quick.

430
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: It is time now for clear choices, presented by the

431
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: makers of Claraton. Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live. That

432
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: Money Smith here rank Fabs, Marcus Grant. It's Tuesday. That

433
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: means along with us, you are hitting the waiver wire.

434
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: We'd like to help you decide who to target this week. Fabs.

435
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: There is a certain someone Sparty they call him out

436
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: in Washington that's doing some damage through the air. Huh.

437
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: How good his Kurt Cousins over the first couple of

438
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: games that he's replaced r G three and last week

439
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: he had nearly thirty Fantasy points against the Philadelphia Eagles,

440
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: putting up huge numbers. He's currently thirteenth and Fantasy points

441
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: among quarterbacks and he didn't play in Week one and

442
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: look at him the accuracy on that downfield pass to

443
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: de Shaun Jackson for the touchdown. Kurt Cousins is a

444
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: guy who is a perfect fit for ja Gridn's offense

445
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: and someone who I think could end up being a

446
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback in fantasy the rest of the season.

447
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: Last year, Gruden's offense, Andy Dalton fifth and Fantasy points

448
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: and quarterback. He's available in a lot of leagues. He's

449
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: got a lot of weapons. Pick him up and start

450
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: him this week on Thursday Night football against the Giants. Yes,

451
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: because he's not on the road. If he was on

452
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: the road, you wouldn't start him, because you start nobody

453
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: on Thursday night football when they're on the road. How

454
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: about it, rank Yeah, I like Lorenzo Taliferro here with

455
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. You see him just bursting through that

456
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: Brown's defense and just looking at these running backs in

457
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: Baltimore over the past couple of games, he's the best one.

458
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: I mean, Bernard Pierce has struggled justin force. He's more

459
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: of a change of pace guy. Callaferro came out and

460
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: really dominated this and seems like a great fit for

461
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak zone blocking scheme. And even Harbaugh came out

462
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: and admitted, you know what, he looked really good in

463
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: week three. He's hesitated to select him as the starter,

464
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: but at some point he's going to be the starter

465
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: of this season. Well, uh speaking, a starter, back up,

466
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: third down back, blocking back. I don't know that they're

467
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to have Donald Brown do everything in San

468
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: Diego with the injuries because so Dadian Thomas is not

469
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: coming back to the charges anytime soon, and if he

470
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: died with Donald ground last week had third and one carries. Okay,

471
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: he averaged two yards to carry. That's not very good.

472
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: But this is a volume play and he's going up

473
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have one of the worst

474
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: run defenses in the National Football League. Bronze a versatile runner.

475
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: He can catch the ball out of the backfield, make

476
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: plays as a receiver as well. He needs to be

477
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: owned in all leagues right now. Wow, what do you know?

478
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant wants to talk about a rookie wide receiver?

479
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: Who would I guess it is the year of the

480
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver. Absolutely. Jordan Matthews was a guy that

481
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: I liked in the preseason. He's a big body guy

482
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: who can play in the slot. He can also play outside.

483
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 1: You saw what he did against Washington last week. They

484
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: find ways to get him the football all over the field.

485
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: And look, the Niner secondary has been awful the first

486
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: few weeks in the season. They were torched by another rookie,

487
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: John Brown last week. I like Georgan Matveis. I think

488
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: he may surpass Riley Cooper in the pecking order in

489
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: that Philadelphia passing game. Well you mentioned it, and I

490
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: was out in Arizona to see it live and in

491
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: person out of Pittsburgh State. No h in that Pittsburgh

492
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: by the way, John Brown, he was clearly Drew Stanton's

493
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: go to target in the red zone. And I'll tell

494
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: you this, for all of those points he piled up

495
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: over seventeen of them, Drew Stanton under threw him twice

496
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: twice when he had his defensive back beat and would

497
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: have been able to walk into the end zone. And

498
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: Stanton just could not get the ball out early enough.

499
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: So along with the seventeen point two points that just

500
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: one point three percent of fantasy players got last week,

501
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: they could have had another twelve perhaps had Stanton hit

502
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: his man. John Brown absolutely pick him up as a

503
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver in Arizona. All right, to Andrew Hawkins, and

504
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: we're talking volume here, I'm guests and Marcus, we absolutely

505
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: are talking volume. When we found out what was going

506
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: to happen with Josh Gordon, Andrew Hawkins became the wide

507
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: receiver play for the Cleveland Browns and Jordan Cameron has

508
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: struggled so far in the early season. Andrew Hawkins has

509
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: picked up the slack able to make plays, and you

510
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: see what he can do running after the catch as well.

511
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: Had ten or more targets in each game so far

512
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: the season. He is on pace for a ridiculous number

513
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: of catches if this keeps up, and he's looks very

514
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: good doing it. I like Hawkins a lot, Adam, Why

515
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: do we have to keep reminding the people to pick

516
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: up Dayne Allen as a starting tight end. Well, everybody

517
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: panicked when he kind of disappeared in week two, but

518
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 1: it has been clear over there weeks one and week

519
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: three that he is the preferred target of Andrew Luck

520
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: And how you've talked about this at great length about

521
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: how Kobe Fleaner was the romanticized version of a Hollywood

522
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: ending of two college roommates going out to be NFL players,

523
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: but in reality it's Alan who is the premier guy

524
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: and the guy you should grab off. All right, here

525
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: it is the answer. Key. We gave you what we

526
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: thought were the answer. Michael Fabiano's top waiver wire targets

527
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: number one, Kirk Cousins number two. You mentioned volume Donald

528
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: Brown because there are no other running backs out there

529
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: in San Diego with woodhead hurt and Ryan Matthews hurt.

530
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: You can round them all out. There is just the

531
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: all the way down to number ten and of course

532
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: get them all at NFL dot com. That was clear

Speaker 1: So let's get right to the highlights from Monday Night Football.

552
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: Some fantasy goal to be mined there. Jake Cutler, Oh,

553
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: is he quarterback in for your fantasy squad this year?

554
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: If you've been starting with Rex Ryan? He has no

555
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: involvement in fantasy. But Jets get the ball first, just

556
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: the second play of the game, first past attempt in

557
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: the game and to pick six for Ryan money. How

558
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: about first time ever in Monday Night Football history that

559
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: the first past attempt was taken back to the house

560
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: where he touchdown. That's a lot of games and a

561
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: lot of history, and it led to a lot of

562
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: bad Monday memes. Yes, certainly Bears up early seven, nothing,

563
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: third quarter, Bears third eleven. There you go, Martellis Bennett's

564
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: big night for Bennet by the way, seventeen point eight

565
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: points most among tight ends in week three. Five minutes

566
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: to go in the third Jets looking to answer in

567
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: the red zone. First Genos, don't throw it, Gino, courage

568
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: your defensive rookie of the year leader right now, I'll

569
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: fuller and a personal file there by the way we

570
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: take them all about for the twenty so as bad

571
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: a decision as that was what he was doing. Your

572
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: fantasy leaders, Martelis Bennett leading the way with those seventeen

573
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: point four points right behind him though Jay Cutler, who

574
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: is now fantasy relevant Geno Smith. Those two pigs terrible

575
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: and it was what could have been an interesting night.

576
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 1: Here was some discussion here for Gino because a few

577
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: of those throws are real nice. The Bears defense sixteen

578
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: fantasy points. All right, we talked about it a little

579
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: bit earlier, so we will move on. We've got three

580
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: weeks in the books, and we talked now about whose

581
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: stock is rising and who's is falling. Will start with

582
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: those on the way up in FABS. We'll start with

583
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, and Russell Wilson there in Seattle. Well,

584
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: you knew back in the preseason that I was preaching

585
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: weight on a quarterback, wait on a quarterback. And guess what.

586
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is a guy that you could have drafted

587
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: in the ninth round. And he has been absolutely phenomenal

588
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: so far this season, two passing touchdowns each game. He

589
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: hasn't only been good at home, he's been good on

590
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: the road as well, now the Seahawks have a bye

591
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: this week, pick up Kirk Cousins and started him right

592
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,719
Speaker 1: now for week four. But Wilson is now a guy

593
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: who's locked and loaded as a weekend and week out

594
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: starter until further notice. Russell Wilson again off those those

595
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: numbers coming up against Denver a Super Bowl rematch, and

596
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: like you said, he made all the big play specifically

597
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: in overtime, just kind of beyond the fantasy night and

598
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: he can give you desion numbers. Hasn't running too and

599
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: we talked about the bad decisions from general good decisions

600
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: there all right, here we go. Fred Jackson, Marcus Fred

601
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: Jackson has played very well for Buffalo. I know we've

602
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: been scratching our head trying to figure out whether it's

603
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: going to be C. J. Spiller or Fred Jackson. And

604
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: just based on the eye test, Jackson has been the

605
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: better back. And he runs the ball effectively seeing him here,

606
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: bouncing it to the outside, getting the edge against the

607
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: Chargers defense. He also catches the ball out of the

608
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: backfield effectively finds his way into the end. Zoe. That's

609
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: the biggest part of it is that he seems to

610
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: have a nose for the goal line and finds his

611
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: way into the painted area at least until further notice.

612
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: I think you're the wan C. J. Spiller, Fred Jackson

613
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: getting a look at the flex guy depending on the

614
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: matchup Sammy Watkins there in Buffalo rookie wide receiver in

615
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: Carolina rank Kelvin Benjamin looks like he might be in

616
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: must start flex slash wide receiver to territory these days. Yeah,

617
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: you really can't ignore the numbers that he's putting up.

618
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: Of course, he did have a little bit of inconsistency

619
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: in week two, but you know what, a lot of

620
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: receivers go through their bouts of just not putting up points.

621
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: But the one thing about Kelvin Benjamin that does separate

622
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: him from some of the other rookie receivers, guys like

623
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks who I'm thinking of. The thing with him

624
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: with Benjamin is that he's the number one receiver on

625
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: this team. He is the number one target for Cam

626
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: Newton if Cam Newton is banged up and can't go.

627
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson also showed that he likes the rookie too.

628
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: So when you look at it, if you look at

629
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: the number of targets and he's gonna get It's gonna

630
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: be hard to leave Calvin Benjamin on your bench even

631
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: though you drafted him pretty and that week two was

632
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: Camp's first week back, so I attribute that big time.

633
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: Here we go, Guess what Joe Flacco likes tight ends?

634
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak like Owen Daniels. No more, dat's pit up.

635
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is going to like Owen Daniels. That's it.

636
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: It's that simple. He's owned in just twelve percent of

637
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: the lead. You ought to be able to pick him

638
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: up off the waiver wire because he had such a

639
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: bad week against the Browns less than a single point,

640
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: but that was the game in which Pitto was injured.

641
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: Flacko and Kubiak love to use tight ends, and this

642
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 1: is the guy they're simply going to half to use.

643
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: So it's one of those volume plays by the fault

644
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: if you're in need of a tight end. Do you

645
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: think people need tight ends? These things pretty option? All right,

646
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: it's uh those of the stock up the risers. Let's

647
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: get to those that are falling fabs. The wide receiver

648
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: position in Arizona Larry Fitzgerald, and we've sort of seen

649
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: this trend over the last three years. He hasn't a

650
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: thousand yards in the last couple of years. He did

651
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: scored ten touchdowns last season, but that's what saved him

652
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: from having an otherwise dreadful campaign. So far this season,

653
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: he has not looked good. Drew Stanton and Larry Fitzgerald

654
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: not on the same page. He's been looking more to

655
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: John Brown, as we mentioned, and Fitzgerald is now a

656
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: guy who you can't even start with confidence, a hunger

657
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: plus receiving yards once in his last thirteen games, no

658
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his last six games. They gotta buy this week.

659
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: You can't claim regardless, but even when he's back, because

660
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: Gerald is no longer elite the fans. He guys. Yeah,

661
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: he had just two targets going into that fourth quarter.

662
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: He did not make his first reception, and that was

663
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: a streak of a hundred fifty one games that he

664
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: had one until mid fourth quarter. Toby Gerhart, Yeah, in

665
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: the preseason, the hype train was rolling for Toby Garhard.

666
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: I was certainly driving it at America. I'm sorry it's

667
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: not working out, Toby Garhard. The offense in Jacksonville is bad.

668
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: We see they made the switch the quarterback position, but

669
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: the offensive line has struggled in Gearhart is not the

670
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: quick footage shift the guy who's going to get around

671
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: a bad offensive line. He is a plotter. He's more

672
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: of a straight line guy. It's just not working out

673
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: two point four yards per carry. He's struggling to get

674
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: past the line of scrimmage. And at this point, Toby

675
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: Gearhart belonged on your pen. Yeah, I said him last

676
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: week for the first time, and it hurt. Oh man,

677
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: hurt me alight, Not alright, one of my tames because

678
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: I was so excited about Toby Garhard, Gus Bradley and

679
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: Heavy for you guys. Your guys is Toby Gerhardt is

680
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: my joy Bell a guy that I have on virtually

681
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: every team because I was subscribing to the RB zero

682
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: RB solution, you know, not targeting running backs early, going

683
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: for some position with guys like Jimmy Graham, dog gone it.

684
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: But Joyce bellt was somebody I thought could carry my

685
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: team and really be the bell cow of that fantasy

686
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: backfield for me. But when you look at the numbers,

687
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: he just has not been impressive this year and going forward,

688
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much of an impact he's gonna

689
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: be able to make Reggie Bush was out there against

690
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: the Packers looking just a little bit better. You know't

691
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: enjoy belt lots of doing too well. He's had problems

692
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: with fumbling. So I'm gonna take the baton from you

693
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: from last week on this one. Right if you talked

694
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: about Tom Brady and that wrote you a little bit there,

695
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: But clearly you're not starting him ahead of Andrew Law

696
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: for Matt Ryan or Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers, Kayton Manning.

697
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the area that we're in now. You're

698
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: not starting Tom Brady ahead of Kirk Cousins or Nick

699
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: Foles or Philip Rivers or Russell Wilson. You're gonna get

700
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: to about fifteen or sixteen quarterbacks. But where you say, yeah,

701
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: I'd start Tom Brady over that guy, and it's not

702
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: necessarily all his fault. He has a singular focus. For

703
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, Gronk has been in and out when it

704
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,239
Speaker 1: comes to snap counts, the number of snaps that he's

705
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: on the field, and Brady's just a bet you said

706
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: him you have to set him at this point. He's

707
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: not wearing a number twelve Patriots jersey. He's on the

708
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: waiver wire right now. But he's still good on He's

709
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: still good on Facebook that I have to keep him on.

710
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: He's been killing social media. Uh, still to come on

711
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live, We've got a bone to pick with

712
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: a few high round draft picks. We are taking some

713
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: struggling fantasy stars and putting them on a hot seat.

714
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: Right after this Thursday, Eli Manning and the Giants take

715
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: on new starter Kirk Cousins, Halfred Morris and the Redskins.

716
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: Football starts here Giants Redskins Thursday at a pm Eastern

717
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: Live on NFL Network and CBS. Right now, you are

718
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: getting a look at some of the top players for

719
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: fantasy heading into the season and their current position ranks

720
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: after three weeks. You see the average draft position right

721
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: there at the top. Eddie Lacey, a top ten pick,

722
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: fifty first ranked running back after three games. And with that,

723
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: we welcome you back to NFL Fantasy Live, presented by

724
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: Boats and Guys. We get into some of the players

725
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: we just saw on that board. Those are all fantasy

726
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: owners that drafted those gentlemen in the early rounds and

727
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: certainly have seen them underperform so far this season. So

728
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: let's help those fans, those owners decide if we think

729
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: they are going to bounce back or if they are

730
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: on the fantasy hot seat. Marcus will start with you

731
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: and the first name we saw, Eddie Lacey. H Eddie

732
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: Lacy has had a rough start to the season, but

733
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: keep in mind the defenses he's played the first three

734
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: weeks have been some of the best run defenses around.

735
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: You're talking about the Seahawks, the Jets, and the Lions.

736
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: So things will get better for Eddie Lacy. You see

737
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: the number of touches forty five scrimmage ards against the

738
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: Lions on Sunday he had the fumble. It has been rough, undeniably,

739
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: But you look at the schedule. Me up, the Bears

740
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: are coming up, the Dolphins are a couple of weeks

741
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: down the road. There are things on the schedule that

742
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: should let you be a little more a little a

743
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: little favorable for add Lazy coming up. I think he's

744
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: gonna get them. Yeah. If I may play Devil's advocate,

745
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: because that's what I do, But my only concern is

746
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: how quick he got that hook. And I understand it

747
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: was a fumble that was returned for six points, and

748
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: you could argue that that was the difference in the game.

749
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: But my other issue with Eddie Lacy has remember what

750
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: the narrative was in the preseason, and that is shape

751
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: is he taken? Is seriously enough? Look it's fat Eddie Lacey.

752
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: Check out the angle in this photo. So that's my

753
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: only concern is is there something happening in Green Bay

754
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: that might lead to a quick hook if he does

755
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: make a mistake and we just see James Starks for

756
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: the remainder of the game and when they run the

757
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: nail huddle too, if James Starks is already out there,

758
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: then he just can remain in there exactly. All right,

759
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: Let's stick with the Packers and the quarterback that was

760
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: likely taken in the first round or a high second

761
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: round pick, fads Aaron Rodgers. I'm not as worried about

762
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and some people might be about Eddie Lacey.

763
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers also played the Seahawks in Week one, where most

764
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks go and don't produced big fantasy numbers sans Peyton

765
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 1: Manning in the fourth quarter last week, but that's neither

766
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: here nor there. I'm not worried about Riders. Listen, this

767
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: guy has one of the best offensive weapon Arsenals in

768
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: the National Football League with Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Lacey

769
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: or James Starkswebber becomes the guy there and eventually Rogers

770
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: is going to be more consistent. But again, he's had

771
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: a couple of tough matchups. People forget that that front

772
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: seven for the Detroit lines, that's pretty good. And when

773
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: you also mix in a game against the Seahawks, well

774
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: that's why He's had a fewer than two or passing

775
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: yards in two of his first three games. And unlike Lacy,

776
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: at least he does have one of those three where

777
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: he put up BAFO numbers against exactly. You know, like

778
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: you said, ye, you weigh the good with the bad,

779
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: and that's what you're gonna do right now, right with

780
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: your first leagues. I'm gonna go off the board. But

781
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about a little bit. You saw

782
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: all those big names. What about Jimmy Graham. This was

783
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: a guy that snuck into the first round. I joked

784
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: about it during the preseason that I was gonna take

785
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham first overall, and while I didn't do it,

786
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it and his performance thus far there,

787
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: I say, not been so good. I feel like that

788
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: kid on the Xbox commercial run just grilling all these

789
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: big name players coming in and out, like Jimmy Graham

790
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: one great game. I could have picked up Delaney Walker

791
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire and been just as good as

792
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: wasting a first round pick on Jimmy Graham. And I'm sorry, Jimmy,

793
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: if I have to come out and put you on

794
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: the hot seat to try to motivate you, well, that's

795
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: what I'm here to do, not just for me out there.

796
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: Who picked up Jimmy Graham? And you know what it's

797
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: been this? You know who else is getting to me too?

798
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: Is this Corderill Patterson guy? And that's what you want

799
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: me to pick that up and go with Cordarrel Patterson. There,

800
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: I feel like I've said a lot. We uh, we

801
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: expect the jump based on the end of season performance

802
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: in two thousand thirteen and what have we thus far?

803
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: And this is the big concern about Cordarrell Patterson, guys,

804
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: is it's one run. It is a single play, that

805
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: is it. It is one single play in Week one

806
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: against the Rams that has given Corderol Patterson all of

807
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: his fantasy points. Granted, you have the one play here.

808
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: But you're talking about somebody that has asked of a

809
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: quarterback to help him make plays. And when it's Matt

810
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: Castle throw an interception. Now that Teddy Bridgewater is in there,

811
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: perhaps we'll see something different young quarterback. He is the

812
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: most talented player on that team currently in the lineup.

813
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: So Bridgewater very well may look to Corderill Patterson for

814
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: some of these underneath routes to get him going. But

815
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,959
Speaker 1: as far as it went through the first two weeks

816
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: and then three weeks with Matt Castle, it was one play,

817
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: and that's the biggest concern. It's not that he had

818
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: bad games. He had entire bad games except for a

819
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: single play I mentioned Matt Castle. He is sitting on

820
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: the bench. Somebody that is not going to sit on

821
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: the bench all season is Matt Stafford. How do we

822
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: gauge what he's done through three weeks? What a stinker

823
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: last week at four point five fantasy points. I mean,

824
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: that's just awful. You're gonna lose nine times out of

825
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: ten when your quarterback puts up a number that bad.

826
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: But here's the good news fantasy fans. He's playing the

827
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: Jets in Week four, and the Jets stink against the past.

828
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: So even though you've been worried about Stafford maybe after

829
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: last week, don't be He's gonna bounce back. He'll put

830
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 1: up a big number. Now, keep in mind, Stafford's always

831
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: been better at home than he has been on the road.

832
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: So you're not gonna see BAFO numbers weekend and week out.

833
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: That's just not what Stafford does, and that's not what

834
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: he's done during his career. But this week you could

835
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: play him and feel confident in him. Most weeks he'll

836
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: be able to play him and he'll be fine, But

837
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: there are weeks when he's on the road things don't

838
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: work out for Stafford. Yeah, I would say of all

839
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: the Twitter traffic we get, I don't know if you

840
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: guys are in step with me on this, but Keenan

841
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: Allen is a one because he is a number one receiver,

842
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: he is a number one target. But Marcus, he has

843
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: not produced, plain and simple, he has not produced this year,

844
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: and it is it's a little concerning. The one thing

845
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: I will say is that last year Keenan Allen started

846
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: slowly and it was the Eddie Royal Show through the

847
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of the season. And then he

848
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 1: picked it up and started playing Benner well. Last week

849
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: it was kind of the Eddie Royal Show for the

850
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: San Diego Charges. He had a couple of suchdowns. So

851
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: maybe if passed this prologue, that maybe Keenan Allen steps

852
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,240
Speaker 1: up the one concern. I have a couple of concerns.

853
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: I have one. Malcolm Floyd is back and has played

854
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: very well for the first couple of weeks. He's been

855
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: a deep threat for Philip Rivers in that offense. Plus

856
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: we've seen the tight ends get a little more involved.

857
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: Antonio Gates had the big game against Seattle. Ladarius Green

858
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: is getting more involved, so there are a lot more

859
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: targets in that offense. So if Keenan Allen is not

860
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: getting open, he's not going to necessarily get the targets.

861
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: They're not gonna force the ball into him. So there's

862
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of reason to be concerned about this

863
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: week against the Jaguars. Feel free to freak out because

864
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: the Jaguars past defenses off well, and you mentioned the

865
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: first three weeks last year he wasn't really playing. They

866
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: didn't have him and have him in for a lot

867
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: of snaps. But also in the case of Keenan Allen.

868
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: He was a rookie and he wasn't drawing a lot

869
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 1: of attention, and you watch those games and you're seeing

870
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 1: he's the guy getting bracketed. He is the guy drawing

871
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: the number one quarterback. And going back to the point

872
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: at the top of the conversation against the Seahawks, he

873
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: played the Seahawks and the Cardinals. So again you look

874
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars to figure out whether or not Keenan

875
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: Allen is a viable option moving forward. I'll go to

876
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: the defense, and really the only defense that people jumped

877
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: up to draft in just about every single draft, and

878
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: that's the Seahawks because they reak havoc. It's the legion

879
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: of Boom and people want to draft them early because

880
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,959
Speaker 1: they create turnovers. It's Richard Sherman. It's a front seven

881
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: that can put pressure on the quarterback. And it's just

882
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: not happening this year. I mean, we are seeing teams

883
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: just stay away from Sherman entirely for almost an entire

884
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: game plan that turnovers aren't there. The return game has

885
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: been sluggish, and you would have thought that would have

886
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: been a lot better. Obviously with the return of Percy Harvard,

887
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: but I just haven't been there, and they're on a

888
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: buy this week, and I think there are better defensive matchups.

889
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: We talked about it earlier in the show. The Chicago

890
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: Bears are owned by of our leagues. They are started

891
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: by just barely over ten percent. That is a turnover

892
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: creating defense that is available for you out there. I

893
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: don't see any reason not to play him in this

894
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: by for the Seahawks and see if they can keep

895
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: it going. And the Falcons too. You know, they're a

896
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: great pick up last week, and I got Devin Hester.

897
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: You're always in the in the market for return yards

898
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: to So this is why, this is exactly why you

899
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: do not draft a defense, especially in one of the

900
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: top five rounds. You just go out in the waiver wire,

901
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: pick up these great defenses and you'll find the whole

902
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: play matchups. You play the Colts last week to play

903
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: the Chargers this week. That's the way you're doing all right.

904
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: Coming up next, the first bye week is upon us,

905
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: and that means it's time to hit the waiver wire.

906
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: We have under the radar guys who are ready to

907
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: put up big points this week. Stick around alright. A

908
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: reminder bye weeks start. This week, we have six teams off.

909
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 1: Some starting quarterbacks are people start with Peyton many of

910
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: these days, I think so some running backs to account

911
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: for Marshawn Lynch of course wide receivers in the case

912
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: of a jous times. You get the point, all right,

913
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: There are moves to make and as we welcome you

914
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: back to NFL Fantasy Life presented by bos Matt money

915
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: Smith here with all the guys. So as we talk

916
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 1: about moves, we mentioned deep waiver wire targets that you

917
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: ought to be thinking about. Marcus could have started. Yeah,

918
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: I hear. There aren't the tight ends out there around right,

919
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: So I'm going with Travis Kelsey as the guys has

920
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: to take out right now because he's he is the

921
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: guy who's emerging there in Kansas City. He's a guy

922
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: I liked as a deep sleeper coming into the preseason

923
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: and they're starting to find him with the football, and

924
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: I love what he does after the catch, maybe not that,

925
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: not that so much, but a lot of things after

926
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: catching the football, and I like him. I'll lot coming

927
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: up this week. I was in Arizona mentioned it earlier.

928
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: Saw Stevie Johnson a lot of five receiver sets because

929
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: they had no McDonald or gave us out there for

930
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: the boarding Niners. But the one thing I like about

931
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: Stevie Johnson is his targets have increased every week, his

932
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: production has increased every week. And coming out of the preseason,

933
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh said he's just not up to speed on

934
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: the playbook. Yet he is a back to back thousand

935
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: yard receiver. He is someone that runs precise routes and certainly, well,

936
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 1: I don't want to say Colin Kaepernick only had eyes

937
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: for him, but in that first half when they scored

938
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: those two touchdowns, it certainly seemed like it as they

939
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: marched their way up and down the field. How about it.

940
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: You remember Alan Hurns from Week one? There was the

941
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: guy everyone was talking about. He had the two touchdowns

942
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,399
Speaker 1: against the Eagles and in a week two zippo. Well,

943
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: last week he had that one catch, but it was

944
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: a big one, a touchdown. And Blake Portals is now

945
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Jaguars. That should improve the passing game.

946
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: I don't know about the running game, but this is

947
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: a guy that I still think needs to be owned

948
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: in league's ten or twelve team leagues, even if he's

949
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: your fifth receiver at the end of your bench. You

950
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,439
Speaker 1: have us another tight end. Well, I'm gonna talk about

951
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: Ladarius Green because we couldn't find video of Latavious Murray. Well,

952
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about for the Raiders. But if

953
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: you're looking for a tight end this week, as Marcus said,

954
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: we are in a dire situation when it comes to

955
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: tight end. The Jags have allowed the most points to

956
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: fantasy tight ends this season. So, Laddie green Good, are

957
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: you suggesting that Raider games aren't televised? Is that what

958
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting any sets? You're taking a shot at

959
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: somebody with that was that was they gonna show to you.

960
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Right that is gonna do it

961
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: for us here at NFL Fantasy Live. Remember to join
