Speaker 1: Friends Forever m Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do Do Do? Do? Didn do yeahs
Speaker 1: as the Fantasy best Friends Forever here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports alongside for Reggie Saville, I am Greg Soggy. What's
Speaker 1: on Monday? Reggie? Six teams on a buy in Week nine,
Speaker 1: But we still have some great create matchups here. I
Speaker 1: think they did that purpose right, I have to imagine
Speaker 1: they did. Yes, Like, hey, we're missing we're missing out
Speaker 1: on six teams, but let's make the best matchups of
Speaker 1: the season. We got the Saints in the Rams, Packers Patriots.
Speaker 1: Is gonna be some fun football. It's gonna be very
Speaker 1: very fun to football all Sunday along and I want
Speaker 1: to get right into it as we like to do
Speaker 1: on As we like to do on this program, we
Speaker 1: go game by game and point out what is important
Speaker 1: to us. Then, of course we will get in to
Speaker 1: a Thursday night football recap and and most importantly take
Speaker 1: all of your line up questions. The rankings are done.
Speaker 1: We're ready to rock, Frankie, let's get into it. Let's go.
Speaker 1: We again this week in Buffalo. Have to That's where
Speaker 1: we'll start. The Bills are next, and that's where we
Speaker 1: will end. The Bills are hosting the Chicago Bears here
Speaker 1: this week, and with Buffalo once again, Nathan Peterman is back, baby,
Speaker 1: which means the Bears are the best start on defense.
Speaker 1: Any team that's facing Nate Peterman on a weekly basis,
Speaker 1: or the Bills for that matter, is the must star
Speaker 1: defense of the week. Just so happens. The Bears are
Speaker 1: pretty good defense too, so get them in your season
Speaker 1: long lineups. I'm totally willing to pay up for them
Speaker 1: in DFS purposes for the Bears. I think obviously, both
Speaker 1: running backs are in play here. Look, Jordan Howard has
Speaker 1: not been great, He's been very you know, he needs
Speaker 1: a lot of volume in terms of touches to to
Speaker 1: meet the fantasy value that we expect for him. The
Speaker 1: Bills defense had been pretty good. Uh, we saw James
Speaker 1: White have a big game against them one week ago.
Speaker 1: But we expect the Bears to be playing with the lead.
Speaker 1: I think we can expect something similar to what we
Speaker 1: saw Jordan Howard last week against the Jets. The Jets
Speaker 1: are a you know, mediocre rush defense. He's still got
Speaker 1: twenty two carries close to, you know, over eighty yards
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I think we see you know, similar kind
Speaker 1: of usage in this game with the Bears playing from ahead,
Speaker 1: but of course they have to score the points. And
Speaker 1: help them do that is going to be Tarreko and
Speaker 1: who's us on an absolute hair right now, so especially
Speaker 1: in PPR, even not in PPR at this point, Craig
Speaker 1: in non PPR, he's an RB two. I'm not worried
Speaker 1: about it. At the rate that he's scoring in the
Speaker 1: way that he's being used. Uh, This Bears offense really
Speaker 1: goes where Tarko and goes. So those are the mustart
Speaker 1: guys in this game. Three Cohen, I have him ranked
Speaker 1: higher than Jordan Howard in every format Jordan Howard also
Speaker 1: a mid range solo en RB two because there's gonna
Speaker 1: be volume, and the Bears defense obviously is must start. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's defense is the play in this game without question.
Speaker 1: In DFS, I think it's worth paying up for this
Speaker 1: week the Bears defense in general. Now you're facing Peterman
Speaker 1: who is known for just throwing multile interceptions at a time,
Speaker 1: like literally the welcomes out, it's it's two interceptions at
Speaker 1: the same time. Um, no doubt. You gotta start at
Speaker 1: the Bears events here this week when it comes to
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball for Chicago, I like
Speaker 1: Trek Cohen a lot. I still like Jordan Jordan Howard,
Speaker 1: your boy Mike Floria talking about Jordan Howard is a bilow.
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to do that. I think you know,
Speaker 1: these these matchups are generous for Jordan Howard because they
Speaker 1: allow the Bears to play with the lead in competitive
Speaker 1: games where the Bears are going blow for blow like
Speaker 1: we see them like we saw them doing with the Patriots,
Speaker 1: and you know, before the matchup against the Jets, when
Speaker 1: they're when they have those games, those are gonna be
Speaker 1: the Tariko and games because those are you know, when
Speaker 1: Tarrekhens on the field, that's when their offense is at
Speaker 1: their best. So I I don't think Jordan Howard is
Speaker 1: a bilow. I don't care that he's getting the touches.
Speaker 1: It's just obvious that his offense is better when Tarrek
Speaker 1: Cohen is on the field. As for Mitch Robinski and
Speaker 1: the players in the passing attack, Trey Burton is he's
Speaker 1: a top twelve tight end. He's a low end tight end.
Speaker 1: His targets have been, you know, sporadic. He had that
Speaker 1: one big game where he had double digit targets, but
Speaker 1: outside of that, he hasn't. He's been touchdown dependent. So
Speaker 1: he's like every other tight end that's a that's a
Speaker 1: low end side end. You really need him to score
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And for the wide receivers, I know, Alan
Speaker 1: Robinson has been banged up, so has Taylor Gabriel. Those
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be on the outside, likely one of
Speaker 1: them or you know, if if, if, if Allen Robinson
Speaker 1: can't go, one of them are going to seach for
Speaker 1: Davious White. The wide receiver actually, like most in this game,
Speaker 1: is Anthony Miller. Any question, We've seen at least seven
Speaker 1: targets in back to back games, and the Bills have
Speaker 1: struggled against slot wide receivers. We just saw what Julian
Speaker 1: Edelman did against them one week ago. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller is absolutely play. I don't have to risky
Speaker 1: though this week. I don't know how much he's going
Speaker 1: to be asked to do. The Bills have allowed the
Speaker 1: fourth fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this year. He
Speaker 1: does add an element with his legs. He's a high
Speaker 1: end QB two. But I just think that there are
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks in more competitive games that are going to
Speaker 1: have opportunities to to put up more fantasy points. Guys
Speaker 1: like Joe Flacco against the Steelers. That secondary has not
Speaker 1: been great. He looked he performed well in their first
Speaker 1: game against the Steelers. Matthew Stafford against Men Soda, I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be playing from behind. You might have
Speaker 1: to throw Philip Rivers against Seattle. I think we see
Speaker 1: a dog fight in that game. The Shaun Watson, Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick all guys that I would start over Mitchell Drobisky
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, I'm okay with most of those as well.
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge draw Whisky guy that the Bill's defense,
Speaker 1: we say every week, relatively underrated, and especially the secondary
Speaker 1: in general. Grenarius White leading the way, I don't want
Speaker 1: to start dr Whisky. If there's one receiver I you
Speaker 1: start for Chicago, it's going to be Anthony Miller. I
Speaker 1: completely agree. I think he's ascending. We've talked a lot
Speaker 1: on this program about Taylor Gabriel's numbers going down since
Speaker 1: the return of Anthony Miller, and that hasn't changed. So
Speaker 1: I'm totally with that in starting Anthony Miller this week.
Speaker 1: On the other side for Buffalo, can you start Lashawn
Speaker 1: McCoy well with Dixix teams on a boy you might
Speaker 1: not have Choist Craig, and because of that, we've seen
Speaker 1: his usage the past couple of weeks. He's right around
Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty touches. You know, even on a terrible
Speaker 1: offense led by Nate Peterman, he's going to check in
Speaker 1: as a high end flex option. Obviously you wouldn't want to.
Speaker 1: The Bears have been very good against the run, but
Speaker 1: what he does in the past game too, specifically for PPR,
Speaker 1: we just saw what he did against the Patriots. He
Speaker 1: was really the only person that they can throw to. UM.
Speaker 1: So I think we see a lot more of that
Speaker 1: again here with McCoy better in PPR. He's a high
Speaker 1: end flex option if you can get away from him. Sure,
Speaker 1: but I think with six teams on a boy, you
Speaker 1: might not have a choice. Yeah, I think that's reasonable.
Speaker 1: I don't think you have any choice. And there's nothing
Speaker 1: else you want on in this game. Okay, so let
Speaker 1: anything nothing else on this game. As you said, well
Speaker 1: to our picks. Of course later on the program. I
Speaker 1: have to go first this week. I'm saying it's ay
Speaker 1: odd week, which means I go first. Sure, there you go,
Speaker 1: Carolina and Tampa Bay. This is a good one here,
Speaker 1: Frankie Um mainly because we got the fits magic back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: fantasy fireworks expected in this game. You could see that
Speaker 1: with the over underset at fifty five points right now
Speaker 1: and a little preview for later, I might just like
Speaker 1: that over still here, with what's going on, Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: cannot stop anybody right now. There, wor first defense in
Speaker 1: the NFL. They're the worst red zone defense in the NFL.
Speaker 1: When teams get down near the goal line, they're scoring touchdowns.
Speaker 1: That's not going to change here, Uh. So for the Panthers,
Speaker 1: it's all systems go. It's obviously Cam Newton, Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: You're starting these guys with confidence. I think Devin Funchis
Speaker 1: is in a good position to bounce back this week.
Speaker 1: Greg greg Olsen, I have him ranked as a top
Speaker 1: five tight end this week against Tampa Bay and your
Speaker 1: guy Maryland Turk. DJ Moore stepping up. Tory Smith did
Speaker 1: not practice on Friday, so again that opens up opportunity
Speaker 1: for d J Moore. We saw what he did last week,
Speaker 1: how involved he was, and it's just again a phenomenal
Speaker 1: matchup going up against Tampa Bay. So I like DJ
Speaker 1: Moore as a high end wide receiver. Three. It might
Speaker 1: be a little bit aggressive, but I think especially if
Speaker 1: Torry Smith is out in this game, we're gonna see,
Speaker 1: you know, those snats on the rise once again for
Speaker 1: d J Moore, and I like the way that they've
Speaker 1: been using him, Ryan Fitzpatrick. If the Panthers are scoring points.
Speaker 1: This has pretty much been the game script for every
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucks quarterback this year, whether it's been Fits,
Speaker 1: whether it's been Jamis. The team goes down early, the
Speaker 1: defense is really bad at what happens. It's magic, Jameis Winston.
Speaker 1: They have to come back and they have to throw
Speaker 1: the ball. These two Tampa Bay quarterbacks have average three
Speaker 1: ninety passing yards of games. Greg Blake Bortles. That is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles is the perfect representation of what we've seen
Speaker 1: for the Tampa Bay poster tuarterbacks, the postal child exactly
Speaker 1: garbage time fantasy production. It's gonna call them is what
Speaker 1: happened last week for Tampa Bay. And since Natti is
Speaker 1: I think what you see in this game where Carolina
Speaker 1: gets up to a big lean, Cam's chewing the gum,
Speaker 1: he's smiling, and then boom touchdown fits magic. Boom touchdown
Speaker 1: fits magic boom touchdown fits magic. We gotta close game
Speaker 1: that Catalina pulls out. That's my prediction. Frank, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: makes sense. And you look at where the Panthers ranked
Speaker 1: this season in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: they're pretty much the middle of the pack. But if
Speaker 1: you actually dive in a little bit deeper, you'll see
Speaker 1: they've allowed multiple passing touchdowns in six streames. So while
Speaker 1: they're not allowing a ton of yardage, they do allow
Speaker 1: the touchdowns again, six great games multiple touchdown passes allowed
Speaker 1: to opposing quarterbacks. So I think Ryan Fitzpatrick in this
Speaker 1: game is good for at lea east three hundred yards
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, which means we once again have to like
Speaker 1: Mike Evans. Great matchup for O. J. Howard. I haven't ranked.
Speaker 1: It's a top three type. I'm completely in on him.
Speaker 1: Love him for DFS as well. The Panthers allow the
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, so O J.
Speaker 1: Howard is in play here. We know that DeShawn Jackson
Speaker 1: actually plays better when Ryan Fitzpatrick is the quarterback. He
Speaker 1: doesn't need a large target share. He just needs to
Speaker 1: catch that one fifty yard touchdown. I think there's a
Speaker 1: good chance of it happening. Chris Godwin text in again
Speaker 1: where he always does right. Solid wide receiver three. You
Speaker 1: want to have more fitting the guy, but they haven't
Speaker 1: given him enough snaps. The targets have been a little
Speaker 1: bit inconsistent. You really need him to score a touchdown
Speaker 1: to help you out, so he checks in as a
Speaker 1: wide receiver three. This fantasy fireworks. We're excited about this game.
Speaker 1: Hayton Barber flex option running back I guess, but I
Speaker 1: really don't want to do it. I'd rather go in
Speaker 1: another direction. Rude, Why why wouldn't you start game this
Speaker 1: season reaching touchdown? Halfway through the season? Six teams on
Speaker 1: by come on, you're gonna be playing from behind. They
Speaker 1: can't run block Like, don't buy his best game this season.
Speaker 1: Just don't do it. Can I do it? You can
Speaker 1: do it. I'm telling you not to. I'm probably gonna
Speaker 1: do it again. All right, Well, you're gonna get fifty
Speaker 1: total yards and no touchdown like I get touchdown, You're not.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a reason why he only has one
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown on the season. So you like DJ More
Speaker 1: this week better than Devon Punches. I still like Funches,
Speaker 1: especially like the rate that the Tampa Bay Bucks give
Speaker 1: up touchdowns to wide receivers. I have to imagine that
Speaker 1: Devin Funches gets back in the end zone here. He
Speaker 1: is more of the red zone weapon. But I still
Speaker 1: do like DJ More a lot. I just trust Functions
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Okay, so they have it with
Speaker 1: that U when it comes to the next game and
Speaker 1: or anything else with this game. No, I think I
Speaker 1: think we hit on everything pretty much. Cleveland Browns Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. I have had Baker Mayfield for six weeks
Speaker 1: prepared for the start. I did not know they're gonna
Speaker 1: fire their head coach and officely coordinator beforehand, but that's
Speaker 1: exactly what the doing in Kansas City allows the most
Speaker 1: fantasy points to opposing teams running backs. Nick Choke could
Speaker 1: be an option for you. Umately, you're gonna start him
Speaker 1: at they have them, but could be a DFS potential
Speaker 1: option for you in this matchup because, again, much like
Speaker 1: that Tampa Bay Carolina game, we expect Kansas City to
Speaker 1: get up big and then Cleveland catch up. We saw
Speaker 1: there was no practice for Antonio Callaway on Friday, which
Speaker 1: means it could be the time for to step up
Speaker 1: the rat being Damian Ratley. Please do not start him
Speaker 1: in your lineups. I'm avoiding the Browns passing attack in
Speaker 1: this game. Great, I mean you might not. You might
Speaker 1: not be able to get away from David and Joko.
Speaker 1: And it's a great matchup against the Chiefs here. I
Speaker 1: mean They've allowed a ton of fantasy production to opposing
Speaker 1: tight ends, so I'm in on him. Jarvis Slandry checking
Speaker 1: as his normal midrange wide receiver too, but I'm not
Speaker 1: sure that Baker Mayfield has the upside that everyone expects
Speaker 1: him to be. The Chiefs have actually limited opposing quarterback
Speaker 1: fantasy production the past couple of weeks. I don't know
Speaker 1: that people realize this, but they've actually they've been better.
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have allowed um just they have. They've only
Speaker 1: allowed multiple passing touchdowns once in their last five games,
Speaker 1: so they're they're still giving up yards, just not giving
Speaker 1: up a lot of touchdowns. I kind of want to
Speaker 1: take await and see approach with this Brown's offense. You
Speaker 1: might you can't get away from Nick Chubb. I think
Speaker 1: he's a high end RB two. You mentioned that the
Speaker 1: Chiefs are giving up the most fantasy points to opposing
Speaker 1: running backs. That is true, but where they really struggle
Speaker 1: is in pass catching running backs. So Chubb, we haven't
Speaker 1: really seen him use as a receiver much out of
Speaker 1: the backfield, so I'll be interested to see what he does.
Speaker 1: The Browns are gonna score whatever it is, fourteen seventeen
Speaker 1: points and seam. I think Nick Chubb has a good
Speaker 1: chance of being one of the touchdowns. But again, I
Speaker 1: want to take a wait and see approach with the
Speaker 1: Browns offense because I think I think they play more
Speaker 1: servative here, truckie Patrick Mahomes off the field, just try
Speaker 1: and play good defense. I don't know that they're you know,
Speaker 1: taking the reins off Bicker Mayfield here with a new
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator going up against the Chiefs, I think it
Speaker 1: could just be a game where the Chiefs just domin.
Speaker 1: Does your boys want it again? No, I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if it comes season's end. Last week ends up
Speaker 1: being uh, Samuel best game in the season where he
Speaker 1: saw you know, season high nine target season highs across
Speaker 1: the board, eight receptions over a hundred yards to touchdown.
Speaker 1: Can you still have an okay game? Yeah? I think
Speaker 1: he could. I think we could see a lot of
Speaker 1: you know, Denzel war trying to match up with Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill who has dealt with a injury throughout the
Speaker 1: week but is expected to play, but maybe not. I
Speaker 1: think Sammy Watkins is in a good place too. You know,
Speaker 1: he can give you seven four, eight, something like that.
Speaker 1: If he gets in the end zone, then he'll end
Speaker 1: up cashing out as you know a wide receiver too.
Speaker 1: I think he's in that range low and wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Two and wide receiver three. With the six teams on
Speaker 1: a buy pretty good matchup against the Browns here. I
Speaker 1: don't expect Denzel Ward to be on him. Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: you know you're starting him, Cream Hunt Kelsey. That's fine.
Speaker 1: I think Sammy Watkins was the one that we really
Speaker 1: needed to talk about. Yeah, I think so too, Kansas.
Speaker 1: Anyone's easy and it makes our lives easier when you
Speaker 1: just throw them out there each and every week. It's
Speaker 1: it's really that simple. Will say, look the Browns d fence.
Speaker 1: If there's one unit that has played well for the
Speaker 1: Browns this here consistently, it's their defense. That's why Greg
Speaker 1: Williams the head coach. And because there's no one left
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley is there? Sorry Frank, why sorry me? Then
Speaker 1: you have been the Jets coach. Speaking of the Jets,
Speaker 1: they visit Miami this week. In the game that you
Speaker 1: told me, if they lose to Miami and Buffalo during
Speaker 1: the bye, Todd Bowles should be fired. That's what you
Speaker 1: said to me. This is the first of that two
Speaker 1: game stretch. The Jets are in Miami. Miami is the
Speaker 1: whole favorite, the three point favorite. Um. Listen, they're facing
Speaker 1: brock Oswiler back, and it's not even b October anymore,
Speaker 1: it's November, so they will get it. Looks like very
Speaker 1: possibly could get Kenny Stills back this weekend. Davante Parker
Speaker 1: stepped up a little bit for Miami. How do you
Speaker 1: make of this Miami receiving corps, the running backs and
Speaker 1: start in Miami before we get to the Jets. Yes,
Speaker 1: so I've consistently said throughout the week, I think even
Speaker 1: if Kenny Stills is on the field this week, it's
Speaker 1: more so as a decoy. Uh. He was limited in
Speaker 1: practice again on Friday, you know, dealing with this groin injury.
Speaker 1: Eats there a guy who relies on, you know, making
Speaker 1: big plays down the field, getting behind the defense. Not
Speaker 1: at a percent. I think he's used more as a
Speaker 1: decoy here. If I had to trust one wide receiver
Speaker 1: out of all of them, I'm gonna go based on
Speaker 1: what I saw last Thursday, and that was with Devantae Parker,
Speaker 1: you know, leading this team and targets six receptions over
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty receiving yards in they in that game,
Speaker 1: and the Jets have bled fantasy points to opposing wide
Speaker 1: receivers Tremaine Johnson has been been banged up. Marcus May
Speaker 1: playing with a club on his hand right now. Uh
Speaker 1: So it's a good match for Devantae Parker. He checks
Speaker 1: in as a low end wide receiver three. The Jets
Speaker 1: also struggled to slot receivers. I don't want to have
Speaker 1: to trust Danny Amendola, but in PPR, I think he's
Speaker 1: close to being a low end wide receiver three, a
Speaker 1: guy who is going to provide a safe floor at
Speaker 1: least five for fifty if he gets in the end zone.
Speaker 1: Obviously that helps you out more. I'm not expecting it
Speaker 1: to happen. Uh Kenyan Drake, he's been able to do
Speaker 1: a lot with a little. He hasn't been seeing a
Speaker 1: lot of touches, but he's been converting those touches into
Speaker 1: fantasy points. So I'm gonna continue to trust him as
Speaker 1: that midrain. RB two love Isaiah Cowell this week to
Speaker 1: on the other side. They can't throw the ball, Dolphins
Speaker 1: haven't been able to stop the run. It's a good
Speaker 1: recipe for pro Well. I'm gonna get more into Kroll
Speaker 1: when we come back, because I was looking into him
Speaker 1: as well, and I want to like him. The problem
Speaker 1: is I can because he's not very any good write
Speaker 1: it down when we come back. This is the Fantasy

Speaker 1: So am I wear the Titans hat. It kind of

Speaker 1: growback alight, Frank, what's up? Frank? Um? The dudes in
Speaker 1: to your right. It's horrible dancing you. I wouldn't I
Speaker 1: wouldn't executive to call anyone out for dance, Mr Executive?
Speaker 1: Are you are you referring to the Jeff behind me?
Speaker 1: Not not Jeff to skeleton, I'm referring to not Mrs
Speaker 1: Suss when you saw I had a couple moves this morning.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, and I'm not. I'm not the great is
Speaker 1: dancing either, but the Greg Alms is. Uh that's a
Speaker 1: funky move right there. Who do you have winning on
Speaker 1: a Friday night? Corey? Do we have the King? Or
Speaker 1: shut your mike off before we go like this? Huh?
Speaker 1: Who I have win? What? What game on a Friday night?
Speaker 1: The King versus Greg? Down on the dance floor. Who
Speaker 1: do we got? I think I get this, I'll get
Speaker 1: I get I'll lean to I'll get the lean to
Speaker 1: the King. We got the King of the minus favorite.
Speaker 1: It should be so dark day was never mind? Oh
Speaker 1: that's not nice, Greg. I'm going to take a nap now,
Speaker 1: Ill at y'all you're not You're not gonna be over
Speaker 1: in a half hour. I know? All right there? You
Speaker 1: got a fantasy executive of course, on the fantasy football
Speaker 1: frenzy that comes your way next perfect time to get
Speaker 1: right into you. Uh. The fantasy executives favorite player, Isaia Kruell. Now,
Speaker 1: the thing with the thing with Isaia Crowell is you
Speaker 1: want to like him this week because the Dolins a
Speaker 1: ton of yards to opposing running backs, in a ton
Speaker 1: of fantasy points to opposing running backs. The problem with
Speaker 1: Cruel is he's not good like he had that one
Speaker 1: game over two hundred yards. Everything else has been bad, Frank,
Speaker 1: And you look at the Jets Ovens over the past
Speaker 1: couple of weeks without any weapons for Sam Donald, it's
Speaker 1: been brutal. They've had a chance to get back in
Speaker 1: the game, but the Ovens cannot move the ball at all.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to rely on Isaia Cowell to do
Speaker 1: anything offensively this week. I get that, but he's been really,
Speaker 1: really bad, as I believe he has undoubtedly been bad.
Speaker 1: You're you're you're not wrong about that. Um. He has
Speaker 1: thirty seven carries since that two nineteen yard game, Greg
Speaker 1: is ninety four rushing yards. That's two point five four
Speaker 1: yards per Carrie. But you know who else sucks? Greg?
Speaker 1: I have a feeling you could guesser lamm Miller. Did
Speaker 1: you see what he did against the Miami Dolphins, shred them?
Speaker 1: So that's what we're looking at, right now with the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, they can make even Lamar Miller look good.
Speaker 1: So I have a good feeling that they're going to
Speaker 1: make Isaia Coil. Look here, Look it might be aggressive.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing the Titans of New York hat I gotta yell.
Speaker 1: Ranked as the top twenty running back this week. Greg,
Speaker 1: I'm aggressive on him. He's an RB two. Like it
Speaker 1: because it's a great match But are you doing that
Speaker 1: thing where you play the matchup and not like the player.
Speaker 1: I think it's easier to do at the running back
Speaker 1: position than it is at the quarterback position, because I
Speaker 1: hear what you say. I mean there's there have been
Speaker 1: weeks where we you know, we rank Eli Manning obviously
Speaker 1: too high based on good matchups. I think it's easier
Speaker 1: to do with running backs because, look, it's a divisional
Speaker 1: matchup here. I think the circumstances set up well too.
Speaker 1: It's a three point spread and not expecting a lot
Speaker 1: of points to be scored here. I think we see
Speaker 1: a lot of ground and pound from the New York Jets.
Speaker 1: What you said, they don't have weapons, They're not gonna
Speaker 1: throw the ball. Jeremy Bates and the Jets offensive coaches
Speaker 1: continuously just run the football on first and second down.
Speaker 1: It's been a predictable offense. But this might be the
Speaker 1: actual the one team that they can predictably run the
Speaker 1: football and it works out well for them. So I
Speaker 1: like Isaiah Correll as as an RB two here, not
Speaker 1: gonna do much in the passing game. We want to
Speaker 1: see if Elijah McGuire is activated. I have a feeling
Speaker 1: that he will be. Does he get thrown into the
Speaker 1: fire right away? We probably see a little bit of
Speaker 1: Trenton Cannon. Nobody else were starting on this Jets team
Speaker 1: outside of Isaiah Correll and Chris Herndon. I've talked about
Speaker 1: him all week. The Jets, I mean, the Dolphins have
Speaker 1: blood fantasy points to tight ends as well. They have
Speaker 1: allowed five touchdowns to tight ends over their last three games.
Speaker 1: We spoke about what Lamar Miller did to them. Look
Speaker 1: at what Jordan Thomas did. He scored two touchdowns. Chris
Speaker 1: Herndon has scored a touchdown in three straight games. He's
Speaker 1: trending up. The Dolphins defense is trending down. Chris Herndon
Speaker 1: your bi week replacement tight end. Yeah, I think it
Speaker 1: makes sense. We've talked about him on the FanDuel Hurry
Speaker 1: Up as well as on our show. Right that when
Speaker 1: you have a tight end, that it's in the mix
Speaker 1: and there are no other weapons for this Jets team.
Speaker 1: You look at the tight end and he did nothing
Speaker 1: last week until the one catch which was in the
Speaker 1: end zone. Week before he was very very good. I
Speaker 1: get it, man, I get it. You know I'm not
Speaker 1: starting this week, Frank, that's correct? Well, I think rightfully so, Greg.
Speaker 1: The the connection that Sam Donald and Chris Herndon have
Speaker 1: right now reminds me of what's going on with Christian
Speaker 1: Kirk and Josh Rosen out in Arizona. Right This is
Speaker 1: something that we've talked about before, is rookie quarterbacks tend
Speaker 1: to lean on other rookie players and that's kind of
Speaker 1: what we're seeing right now out of Chris Herndon and
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. Good the next game we're gonna get into here,
Speaker 1: Fraggie on Okay, where do we want to go? I
Speaker 1: want to go to seeing which game Washington where the
Speaker 1: Washington football team hosts the Atlanta Falcons. Here for Washington,
Speaker 1: no Jamison Crowder and you think that the wide receivers
Speaker 1: who I know, Atlanta allows a ton of points to
Speaker 1: opposing Fantasy wide receivers. You want to get in the
Speaker 1: mix there, but which why does he really your store?
Speaker 1: There's there's really none. And I understand that it's a
Speaker 1: good matchup, but sometimes you just kind of you have
Speaker 1: to let the matchup go. Remember, uh, you know on
Speaker 1: Thursday and we were talking about the Thursday night game.
Speaker 1: It was a great matchup for the forty Niners running
Speaker 1: backs too, But you know what it came down to
Speaker 1: is you just don't want to touch it sometimes even
Speaker 1: when the matchup looks great. I mean, Paul Richardson, who
Speaker 1: are we going to get here out of the Washington
Speaker 1: passing attack? I think we see a lot of Jordan
Speaker 1: Reid used again in the past game. Chris Thompson, what
Speaker 1: do you know, banged up once again. I think this
Speaker 1: is a game where Washington's this going to continue to
Speaker 1: do what they've done. They're gonna play good defense, and
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and keep Matt Ryan and this explosive
Speaker 1: Falcon's offense off the field. How are they going to
Speaker 1: do that? They're just gonna continue to turn and hand
Speaker 1: it into the chest of Adrian Peterson. It's been phenomenal
Speaker 1: he's a He's a top ten running back this year.
Speaker 1: So hudos to whoever you know was actually excited about
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson picked him up. Whether you drafted him, you
Speaker 1: picked him up all if you're waiver wire. Adrian Peterson
Speaker 1: is getting it done now, and I think we see
Speaker 1: a lot out of him in this game as well.
Speaker 1: You know, I like Adrian Peterson obviously this week he's
Speaker 1: been as hot as any player in the NFL. Um
Speaker 1: Um trying to do any of these Washington wide receiver things. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm gonna do Jordan Reid thing because he
Speaker 1: was targeted incessantly last week and I know the yards
Speaker 1: were not I know the yards were not there, but
Speaker 1: I think it was like a seven for thirty five
Speaker 1: or so, but he's talking like thirteen times. I like
Speaker 1: Judy Read a lot this week because I don't want
Speaker 1: to bang on any of the wide receivers, so I
Speaker 1: like j Read. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense, which means
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the week that everonon David Scores who
Speaker 1: touched us probably all right on the other side for
Speaker 1: Atlanta full strength here they're coming out over the by um.
Speaker 1: Do you like everybody everybody like normal. Well, let's give
Speaker 1: watching to credit what they've done. I mean, their defense
Speaker 1: is playing very well obviously, Julio Jones, you're going to
Speaker 1: continue to get him in the lineup. Austin Hooper, you know,
Speaker 1: trending upwards towards that. By I mean, he's really kind
Speaker 1: of solidified himself as a low end tight end one.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at Austin Hooper here, I'm looking at
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Mohammed Sanu. You know, outside Julio,
Speaker 1: it kind of reminds me of the Packers wide receivers
Speaker 1: right now, right, it's kind of hard to make sense
Speaker 1: out of it. Calvin Ridley, we know he has the
Speaker 1: upside to score, you know, two touchdowns on five receptions.
Speaker 1: We've seen him do that early on in the season,
Speaker 1: but he hasn't done that the past couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: so we can't really project that moving forward, especially in
Speaker 1: a tougher matchup against Washington, who their defense is playing
Speaker 1: well and they just added ha ha Clinton Dicks as well,
Speaker 1: so that's also going to help them. Mohamedson new uh,
Speaker 1: he's a safe floor, low end wide receiver three, you know,
Speaker 1: flex option if you're hurting for the bye weeks, mohamedson
Speaker 1: w is gonna give you, you know, his five for sixty.
Speaker 1: I think we can depend on that. But outside of
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Tevin Coleman's a low n RB two too.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think it's a great matchup for him.
Speaker 1: I don't know they see the kind of shootout games
Speaker 1: that we've been seeing out of Atlanta their outdoors. Here
Speaker 1: in Washington, where you know, they're not scoring as many
Speaker 1: points on the road, I think we see a lower scoring,
Speaker 1: you know, one kind of game here, a close affair.
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's the fantasy fireworks from the
Speaker 1: Falcons that we've seen in weeks past. So it sounds
Speaker 1: like you're really on Washington this week. Then well, they're
Speaker 1: gonna try and do what they've done all season again,
Speaker 1: which if they can keep Matt Ryan and the and
Speaker 1: the Falcons offense off the field by just handing it
Speaker 1: to Adrian Peterson and playing good defense. I love the
Speaker 1: addition of ha Ha Clinton Dicks. I'm in the one
Speaker 1: area where they struggled was that second safety spot, and
Speaker 1: now they've solidified that. So you know, again, I know
Speaker 1: this is a close spread. Right now, it's minus one
Speaker 1: and a half. Washington's played well at home. I don't
Speaker 1: love choosing this game from a betting perspective, but if
Speaker 1: I had to, I would say Washington here at home.
Speaker 1: They've played well there. Okay, we'll see what we'll see
Speaker 1: if their party he picks on the we do our
Speaker 1: our pigs. Later on in the program, I want to
Speaker 1: say about everybody watching on the Pursuit Channel. It's been fantastic.
Speaker 1: It's been fun. Let's do it again next week. We
Speaker 1: appreciate you watching, and we'll see you next time. As
Speaker 1: we continue on going game by game for a game,
Speaker 1: let's get into Detroit and Minnesota. Out there in Minneapolis,
Speaker 1: the Vikings hosting the Detroit Lines without Golden Tee. Now
Speaker 1: there's some optimism. Dalvin Cook could be close. I know
Speaker 1: he said that every week and we laugh, just giving
Speaker 1: me the update. Don't do it, but don't do it, Vikings.
Speaker 1: Give us one more week of just Latavious Murray and
Speaker 1: then we get the bye week next week. Give Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook all the time that he needs. I know that
Speaker 1: it's a divisional game. It's a must win game for
Speaker 1: the I can see here after getting stomped out by
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. But Otavius Murray has played well,
Speaker 1: so I think you know, lean on him one more
Speaker 1: game and if Dalvin Cook does not go, I have
Speaker 1: Ottavia's Murray ranked as RB ten right now, top twelve
Speaker 1: running back, even with Snacks Harrison on that defensive line.
Speaker 1: Now for the Detroit Lions, we saw the Seattle Seahawks
Speaker 1: run all over them a week ago. I think Ottavias
Speaker 1: Murray has set up for success once again here Adam Feeling,
Speaker 1: obviously you're starting him. I don't know that there's as
Speaker 1: many points scored in this game either. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: this game forty nine point total right now where I'm
Speaker 1: taking the under, and I'm I'm hitting that hard divisional matchups,
Speaker 1: I think we see both teams trying to run the football. Here.
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs banged up. If he can't go, maybe we
Speaker 1: see some more Lakwan Treadwell. I think Diggs plays in
Speaker 1: this game, but I worry I think he's used here
Speaker 1: kind of similar to what I've said about Kenny Stills.
Speaker 1: I think we might see him used more as a
Speaker 1: decoy in this matchup more than anything. Great who would
Speaker 1: you rather start this week? La Kwan treadwell where Calvin
Speaker 1: Ridley golf that I would use Colvim He only did.
Speaker 1: I mean these headphones are like going in and out.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to fix it is what we have to do. Really, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I would use Really do you think Rudolph better? I
Speaker 1: mean tread will hus Doe? Do you think Rudolph takes
Speaker 1: a bump if Stevon dig does not play, or even
Speaker 1: if he's the decoy? Uh No, I actually I like um,
Speaker 1: I like how Ruff in this match, but I know
Speaker 1: he hasn't done much. But he had seven targets last week,
Speaker 1: so I mean, nice to see that out of your
Speaker 1: tight end. And over the last month, the lines have
Speaker 1: allowed the fifth most Fantasy points to opposing tight end,
Speaker 1: so I think he's in a good spot. He should
Speaker 1: have scored a touchdown last week too, if you remember,
Speaker 1: but the idiot that he is stepped out of bounds
Speaker 1: before he caught it, so very frustrating. It is very frustrating.
Speaker 1: I owe him. Admittedly, he was the guy that I
Speaker 1: loved coming in same year at a tight end position,
Speaker 1: and he has not lived up to expect same dude,
Speaker 1: I'm completely. He's in the Gronk boat. Obviously not to
Speaker 1: the same level because was like a third round pick,
Speaker 1: but they're too tight end let down other side for
Speaker 1: the Lions, Neo really expected to return, which could hurt
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson. Yeah, I definitely will because carry On
Speaker 1: we just saw season highs across the board in terms
Speaker 1: of pass game usage, targets, receptions, receiving yards um. So
Speaker 1: that's gonna go down if if theoretic is here, you know,
Speaker 1: theod Rick maybe he's the guy who takes on more
Speaker 1: of that slot receiver role now with Golden Tate shipped out.
Speaker 1: I know, you know some people are talking about t J. Jones,
Speaker 1: talking about Brandon Powell. I think in deeper leagues you
Speaker 1: add these guys just to see what happens in this game,
Speaker 1: to see if one of those players does emerge as
Speaker 1: the slot receiver or the Lions. Xavier Rhodes hasn't been
Speaker 1: Xavier Roads from last year this year. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: there's been some bumps in the roads, you might say,
Speaker 1: but Kenny g and Marvin Jones are gonna see upticks
Speaker 1: in terms of targets. We were worried about Kenny Galley
Speaker 1: the way that his targets were trending. Marvin Jones had
Speaker 1: that monster game last week, but I think both of
Speaker 1: these guys are entrenched as top twenty four wide receivers
Speaker 1: low end wide receiver. Two's again, I don't know that
Speaker 1: there's a lot of points scored in this game. But
Speaker 1: if the Lions are going to score points, I know
Speaker 1: they've been trying to run the football. It's not like
Speaker 1: carry On Johnson and m Garrett Blunt have been scoring
Speaker 1: a ton of touchdowns. So if they score, you know,
Speaker 1: two or three touchdowns in this game, it might be
Speaker 1: you know, one to Kenny Gollady, one to Marvin Jones,
Speaker 1: or two to one and you know, one to the other.
Speaker 1: I still think the wide receivers aren't play here. Greg, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I listen. Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones. You're excited about
Speaker 1: We're excited to see them this week without Golden Tate.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see if there's a third wide receiver
Speaker 1: that steps up. It was we all both of them,
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to see what it is. And that's
Speaker 1: a deeper lead too, And that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: You know, two man rosters where you know the why
Speaker 1: the waiver wire is this barren. We picked up t J.
Speaker 1: Jones and Brandon Powell for you know, twenty bucks each
Speaker 1: out of a thousand, so we're not putting much on
Speaker 1: it and we just want to see, you know, who
Speaker 1: emerges here. I'm so excited to get to us in
Speaker 1: the night game in the right I've been. We're in
Speaker 1: all week Baltimore and Pittsburgh rivalry game one pm Eastern
Speaker 1: UH for Baltimore Micho Cravity. Is he going to continue
Speaker 1: what he's been up to? Yeah? I spoke about Michael
Speaker 1: Crabs here a couple of weeks ago as a potential
Speaker 1: by low just because people don't realize how consistent he's been. Again,
Speaker 1: he does not have huge upside, but rapture. He's doing
Speaker 1: a lot this year that he was doing last year.
Speaker 1: It just minus the touchdowns. He's been extremely safe, you know,
Speaker 1: seven to ten targets per game. It's a great match
Speaker 1: up here against the Steelers. I don't know if he
Speaker 1: gets in the end zone, but this is a guy
Speaker 1: who's safe four you know, six for sixty six for
Speaker 1: seventy uh. Where you know, if you're gonna attack the
Speaker 1: Steelers defense, you're gonna do it in the air. I
Speaker 1: don't know how much effectiveness Alex Collins and company are
Speaker 1: going to have here. And I say and company because
Speaker 1: we don't know if it's Buck Allen. Now is a
Speaker 1: time on coomery. Who's gonna step up as the pass
Speaker 1: catching uh running back? We're gonna find out in this game.
Speaker 1: I think Alex Collins is more of a flex option
Speaker 1: running back here. The Steelers have been very, very good
Speaker 1: against the running backs, so again the way to target
Speaker 1: them is through the air with the wide receivers. I
Speaker 1: like crabs here has a high end wide receiver. Three,
Speaker 1: I have John Brown as a low end wide receiver.
Speaker 1: To the last time John Brown played the Steelers, he
Speaker 1: had a great game. Yeah. I like John Brown like
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree a lot. Will say John Brown is one
Speaker 1: of these guys though, who's been getting targets, and we're
Speaker 1: looking at the targets as his fantasy production. But he
Speaker 1: hasn't actually been putting up fantasy production right like he's
Speaker 1: getting We don't I say this a lot. We don't
Speaker 1: play in points per target leagues, like we need you
Speaker 1: to put up not to get the targets. We need
Speaker 1: the up we need the fantasy put Outside of that
Speaker 1: game against the Saints, he's been all right. Seven targets
Speaker 1: against Carolina, three for twenty eight, three targets against Tennessee,
Speaker 1: two for fourteen targets against Cleveland. Wow, that's great. You
Speaker 1: must have a great game. Or for fifty eight. Last
Speaker 1: time he played the Steelers, seven targets, three receptions, a
Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen yards and a touchdown. He had that
Speaker 1: seventy one yard touchdown. I think that's the way that
Speaker 1: the Ravens are going to try and attack the Steelers here.
Speaker 1: We get a lot of John Brown, we get a
Speaker 1: lot of Michael Crabtree. If you're in a pinch in
Speaker 1: a PPR, I think will least needed a sneaky flex option.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll start Derrick Henry over John Brown this week. No, okay,
Speaker 1: what you don't John Brown? The city the low and
Speaker 1: wide sere two reduction is not there. That's the problem.
Speaker 1: Errick Henry is not close to in anything too starting
Speaker 1: a second flex option at best? Are you starting Avance
Speaker 1: McDonald this week? I do think the Ravens. The Ravens
Speaker 1: very stout defensively. Um, it's it's you know, it's actually
Speaker 1: they're they're usually good at limiting wide receivers fantasy production,
Speaker 1: but you're not just facing any wide receivers here, You're
Speaker 1: facing Antonio Brown and Juju. But with that being said,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Ben targets Vance McDonald a
Speaker 1: lot over the middle of the field here. He's kind
Speaker 1: of he's in that Austin Hooper category right now of
Speaker 1: tight end where you know it's a low end tight end,
Speaker 1: one high end tight end to there. These are like
Speaker 1: the They're not at the same level like Jordan Reed
Speaker 1: and Trey Burton, but they're also better than guys like
Speaker 1: Chris Herndon, so they're kind of like right in that
Speaker 1: and I think that's kind of like where they are
Speaker 1: every week. Okay, regardless of the just James Connor. I
Speaker 1: know it's a it's a bad matchup on paper, but
Speaker 1: obviously still starting him, I wouldn't. I wouldn't shy away
Speaker 1: from if you're playing in tournaments for d A Festis
Speaker 1: week using James Conner because other people might shy away
Speaker 1: looking at that matchup. Oy uh. Continuing on, we hit
Speaker 1: the four o'clock games. Let's say to the phone one, Frank,
Speaker 1: because I know I want to. I want to open
Speaker 1: up the floor to all our questions. I want to
Speaker 1: getting the Thursday Night Football. Let's open up the phone
Speaker 1: one the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Rams. Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup returns for the Rams this week, which is very
Speaker 1: exciting for some of us. Yeah, and look, if you
Speaker 1: own Cooper Cup with six teams on a buy, you're
Speaker 1: likely starting there. You can't get away from it. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you'd want to take away Untie. You approach, I think
Speaker 1: we don't have time for that. But you don't have
Speaker 1: time for that, especially with you know, the fantasy production
Speaker 1: that the scenes have allowed two wide receivers again, they
Speaker 1: played better Lattimore, Eli Apple. They're stepping up. We'll get
Speaker 1: more into this game. On the other side, are you
Speaker 1: banging on the tray, Quon Smith? Are you finally on
Speaker 1: the bandwag? No? Okay, let's take a break. We're getting
Speaker 1: the Thursday Night Football. A lot of those calls at

Speaker 1: Greg Susman, Frankie Stanford, Frankie. Before we get back into
Speaker 1: New Orleans and Los Angeles, Thur's the night football last night.
Speaker 1: Not great Bob, not great Bob at all. Hey, look,
Speaker 1: we're right about the under. We were said, look, if C. J.
Speaker 1: Betther doesn't play in this game, you're gonna want to
Speaker 1: play the under because he's gonna be the difference between
Speaker 1: a touchdowner two. So does that mean would have scored
Speaker 1: forty two points of Beth? They have scored forty nine
Speaker 1: points if the head CJ. Bethird man the Oakland Raiders, Um,
Speaker 1: what a joke man? Between the play on the field
Speaker 1: and you know the owner of GM's haircut, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's worse is the own the owners
Speaker 1: Mark Davis is Al Davis, his son, get it right,
Speaker 1: I mean whatever, his hair is gross. I mean the
Speaker 1: guy's just a weird looking guy. I mean, weird picture downstairs,
Speaker 1: Like the nose is weird. I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: on there. But the Raiders play might even be worse
Speaker 1: then the way that this guy looks. I mean, I know,
Speaker 1: like you're tanking and you want to get like the
Speaker 1: first overall pick, but come on, dude, I mean, you
Speaker 1: make it more obvious than that to lose to another
Speaker 1: one win team by thirty points. It's just it was Atrocan.
Speaker 1: And what what sucks most is the guys that we
Speaker 1: wanted to trust in. This came from the raider's perspective.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you if you stream Derek Carr
Speaker 1: against the forty nine, which looked like a good matchup,
Speaker 1: your your reeks over ready, So, uh, you know, Doug
Speaker 1: Martin ran well four and a half yards to carry.
Speaker 1: The problem is, you know they were down by twenty
Speaker 1: points before you could even blink, so you know they
Speaker 1: kind of have to abandon the run. Ran eleven times
Speaker 1: four and a half yards to carry it. It wasn't
Speaker 1: his fault. Jalen Richard, I mean, I just don't know
Speaker 1: what was going on. Every time Derek Hard dropped back,
Speaker 1: he got sacked. His offensive line was an elite unit
Speaker 1: for the past like three years. I just don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on in Oakland. I don't know how you
Speaker 1: can trust anybody in this offense right now for fantasy purposes.
Speaker 1: Jared Cook was bigfoot once again. We know what his
Speaker 1: upside can be, we've seen it, but this is also
Speaker 1: his downside. So he's very high, very high ceiling, very
Speaker 1: low floor when it comes to Jared Cook. That's just
Speaker 1: more of the same. The forty niners, I mean, shout
Speaker 1: out to Nick Mullins. I mean, the guy took his
Speaker 1: opportunity for Thursday Night football, got verified on Twitter throughout
Speaker 1: the game, and you know he made most of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. Nick Mullins stepped up. And I didn't
Speaker 1: watch very much of this game last night. Did you
Speaker 1: see most of break his arm? No? I didn't see
Speaker 1: it either. Like I saw it, but like I didn't
Speaker 1: watch it at second time because I didn't want us
Speaker 1: to see it. Yeah, I heard it was bad, man,
Speaker 1: I it was pretty terrible. Um. But of course he
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown the week after. We liked him as
Speaker 1: a flex option, which I mean, it's just perfect perfect fantasy.
Speaker 1: Fantasy didn't do much and uh, I mean look, neither
Speaker 1: did Matt breed It though he mostard had that one
Speaker 1: fifty yard touchdown a round. Outside of that, I mean,
Speaker 1: there was not much. George Kittle. We had a lot
Speaker 1: of questions about George Kittle yesterday. I still had him
Speaker 1: ranked as my seventh tight end because he said, you know,
Speaker 1: we have based on what he's done. I mean, he
Speaker 1: is a legit playmaker. Even with that you know, undrafted
Speaker 1: quarterback on the field, you could have said that almost
Speaker 1: helped George Kittle because he's gonna lean on his safety
Speaker 1: valve over the middle of the field. So I still
Speaker 1: had George Kittle ranks as my seventh tight end, and
Speaker 1: I wasn't shying away from him just because we had
Speaker 1: we had the new quarterback in m hmm. There's nothing
Speaker 1: else here. I mean, look wide receivers, like you can't
Speaker 1: bank on any of these guys. Garsone scored a touchdown,
Speaker 1: but I mean that's his only touchdown of the year,
Speaker 1: or what seems like it's going to be his only
Speaker 1: touchdown of the year. Kendrick Born scored a touchdown. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was just a crap fantasy game all around disgusting.
Speaker 1: I ended up watching more of the basketball game than anything.
Speaker 1: Did watch walk in the Celtics. It was a good game.
Speaker 1: American mandolin at home last night. Don't late? Yeah he did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we did for sure too late. I mean I didn't
Speaker 1: even like, went straight to a bar in my neighborhood.
Speaker 1: I went to FedEx had a Buffalo chicken sandwich ranch on.
Speaker 1: It was great. Prefer blue cheese, but what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do? It actually comes with blue cheese. But I
Speaker 1: was like switched to from the blue cheese thing. Give
Speaker 1: me ranch should I get there for lunch? Well, we're
Speaker 1: getting once together. Um, And I thought it was a
Speaker 1: popcorn chicken you're pushing this popcorn chicken Friday. Well, it
Speaker 1: used to be our thing. You know, we did it
Speaker 1: once back when we had Florio. We did it popcorn
Speaker 1: Chicken Friday one time. But that one time was great.
Speaker 1: It was fantastic. It was Los Angeles and New Orleans.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that. They'll take your calls. UM sixty
Speaker 1: points total. I think went down went down slightly. I
Speaker 1: saw because everyone's listening to the BFS. I thought I saw.
Speaker 1: I thought I should half yeah singles handily. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't even have to bet to move lines, Gregor.
Speaker 1: We gotta do is talk about about that? About that,
Speaker 1: the Hubris, Yeah, anything else and what I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say about the game. But
Speaker 1: everyone you asked me about tray Kwan Smith. You heard
Speaker 1: the promo from Corey throughout the break, and I agree
Speaker 1: tray Kwan Smith is a guy that alright, we're buying
Speaker 1: the upside right now, but he hasn't done anything. And
Speaker 1: I know that the Rams have been prone against fans,
Speaker 1: like opposing wide receivers. But how many targets is tray
Speaker 1: Kwon Smith going to get in this game. I know
Speaker 1: that we have the huge total at fifty eight and
Speaker 1: a half, but it wouldn't be surprised if this is
Speaker 1: a game where we see a lot of the running
Speaker 1: backs on both side. And it's because of that that
Speaker 1: we like the under I mean, when you're running the
Speaker 1: football constantly back and forth, that's gonna lead to a
Speaker 1: lot of time getting eaten up here. We know Todd
Speaker 1: Durley is gonna do his thing and Alvin Kamara and
Speaker 1: you know, he's been fine outside of that game where
Speaker 1: mark Ingram scored the two touchdowns we saw coming out
Speaker 1: of the buy. Alvin Kamara, he's not the Alvin Kamara
Speaker 1: from earlier on in the season, but he's still great.
Speaker 1: So we see a lot of him in this game.
Speaker 1: I think we see a lot of mark Ingram. When
Speaker 1: they need to pass, they're gonna throw it to Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas and it will be a mishmash of tree Kwan
Speaker 1: Smith sprinkled in. It will be Ben Watson sprinkled in.
Speaker 1: But I'm not I'm not depending on tree Kwan Smith.
Speaker 1: I'm like, if you wanna you're making a few DFS
Speaker 1: line if you want to throw him in there as
Speaker 1: a high upside whatever tournament play. Okay, But like for
Speaker 1: everyone who's like, oh, we're just buying it on trade,
Speaker 1: Kwan Smith, he's a wide receiver three, I disagree. And
Speaker 1: you're starting all rams wide receivers because even if they
Speaker 1: don't have the huge you know, one yards and two
Speaker 1: touchdowns upside, they are can they are incredibly safe. Every
Speaker 1: single week, all three of them check in as you know,
Speaker 1: high end to mid range wide receiver two's, and I
Speaker 1: would actually rank Cooper Cup a little bit lower this week.
Speaker 1: I have more as a low and wide receiver two
Speaker 1: because if I could, I'd like to see go with
Speaker 1: a wait and see approach. But six teams on a
Speaker 1: buy his name is Cooper Cup. I'm using its three, six, eight, seven, nine.
Speaker 1: We'll start with Steve in New Jersey. It's up, Steve, Steve,
Speaker 1: how you're there? Stephen Joycey all right, Byvonus needs not listening, man.
Speaker 1: We'll move on Julian in Miami. What's up, Julian? Hey,
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, guys. All right, So I started matt breeding,
Speaker 1: so you already know I started off pretty bad. So
Speaker 1: I need a starting flex. I need two flexes out
Speaker 1: of what I'm about selling. I need to hit this
Speaker 1: right because I need to win. I'm currently in a
Speaker 1: second place and I'm facing first place. That game is
Speaker 1: gonna be gonna be Uh. I need key key MV
Speaker 1: yes really or dion PPR. I need two guys, what
Speaker 1: format PPR EPR. So No, I'm gonna say that Calvin
Speaker 1: Ridley probably has the biggest upside if that's what you're chasing.
Speaker 1: Even that you started Matt Breedo, but Geronimo Allison reaggravated
Speaker 1: an injury. Wasn't reacting new injuries and new so now
Speaker 1: he's dealing with that. I think MVS against the Pack
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and I, honestly I do expect that game
Speaker 1: to be a shootout and I would take the over
Speaker 1: in that game. I'm gonna take MVS as my first
Speaker 1: option here, Kiki. I kind of want to see the
Speaker 1: first game back and how he's used with Damarius Thomson's lineup.
Speaker 1: I don't know, honestly how healthy he's going to be either.
Speaker 1: I know he's gonna play, but I'm not starting kicking
Speaker 1: this first game back. Um, I use MVS and Dean
Speaker 1: Lewis Graig. Uh, this was Dan Lewis coming off his
Speaker 1: best game of the season, And yeah, I don't love
Speaker 1: Dean Lewis against Dallas or some reason. I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna play ball football though. I think they. I think
Speaker 1: they're going to make it a thing to get him
Speaker 1: involved in this game. I don't know, man, I think
Speaker 1: the Dallas is just gonna have so much, so much
Speaker 1: higher time of possession. Here are you leaning more towards
Speaker 1: Ridley MVS and Ridley? So m VS is the one
Speaker 1: I'm locking in. I agree with you, especially if Alison
Speaker 1: doesn't play. I think MVS really gets involved. And I
Speaker 1: don't really know because it's a Sunday night game. It's true.
Speaker 1: You take that people, well, you can say John Willison plays,
Speaker 1: you can start Dan Lewis just saying that's true. That's
Speaker 1: a good way to look at it. You could do
Speaker 1: that um for me. Really, as the up side, Washington
Speaker 1: secondary is pretty good. I think they like Kiki. I think,
Speaker 1: like Key, I'm not winning in the game back. I
Speaker 1: think if he plays and like and this was a
Speaker 1: hard one too, I think he's peppered with targets. Man,
Speaker 1: I really do it a PBR like really might have
Speaker 1: two catches? Yeah no, I mean Ridley wasn't even I
Speaker 1: mean I'm not really I like Dion Lewis and mvs
Speaker 1: again Kiki. Look, they said, well we think he has
Speaker 1: a good shot to play today, But I mean, what
Speaker 1: does that really mean? Though? Like, if you break it
Speaker 1: down from a coaching perspective, we think he has a
Speaker 1: good shot to play. That doesn't inspire a lot of
Speaker 1: confidence in me. I want to I want to get
Speaker 1: the guys who are gonna at least give me safe points.
Speaker 1: I mean, looks like with hamstring injury, he can easily
Speaker 1: reaggravate that. We've we've seen him do it already. Let's
Speaker 1: not forget when it comes to Ridley after he had
Speaker 1: a breakout, those two breakout games, after that four or
Speaker 1: thirty eight three or forty seven five or pulled up
Speaker 1: as well, it doesn't look great. Not great Bob, Not
Speaker 1: great Bob. I want against Tampa he was injured very
Speaker 1: very early on, so it might have been off to
Speaker 1: a big game. Um maybe he's healthy now, who knows.
Speaker 1: But again, it is a tougher matchup against Washington defense
Speaker 1: has played very well. I know, it's very tough man. Um,
Speaker 1: let's like MVS and let's go to Gave in port Chester.
Speaker 1: What's up? Game? Yeah, it's going off. What's going on?
Speaker 1: All right? I just got a quarterback question. I don't
Speaker 1: know who to start between Brady or Wilson, Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Give me Tom Brady when I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a shootout in New England. And that's absolutely right, Greg,
Speaker 1: Tom f and Brady. He's my four franc quarterback this week.
Speaker 1: Expecting a lot of points in that game. I think
Speaker 1: they trade blows. Russell Wilson has his fantasy production has
Speaker 1: been a little bit smoking mirrors. He's putting up a
Speaker 1: lot of touchdowns on very few pass attempts. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm taking Brady and it's not really that close already.
Speaker 1: Let's move Let's move on to Derek in California. What's up? Derek?
Speaker 1: I bled Silver and Black and I'm telling you this
Speaker 1: is killing me. How bad these guys are? Did you like?
Speaker 1: Did you like the Groodin higher when it happened? I did,
Speaker 1: But I will say at the very beginning of the season,
Speaker 1: I said this is gonna go one of two ways.
Speaker 1: Either they are gonna just ridiculously smoke or they are
Speaker 1: going to be the bottom of the league. There was
Speaker 1: no middle ground, and unfortunately it's the latter for the two.
Speaker 1: One of us here did is even dumpster fire this year,
Speaker 1: and one of us accidentally brought into Amri Cooper. What's
Speaker 1: your question, Bunny? Okay, real quick? Is much like your
Speaker 1: first caller, I'm in second place. I'm going against the
Speaker 1: first place guy, and I'm already screwed because I ran
Speaker 1: Steth Roberts last night, either him or Geronimo Allison. All right,
Speaker 1: well you know either way. Yeah. So my question is,
Speaker 1: and this is really a stupid question, but all I'm
Speaker 1: down left to really worry about is I'm streaming defenses
Speaker 1: and I just don't know who because I've got Miami
Speaker 1: and it just looks like there's not much left. Would
Speaker 1: you stick to Miami or would you pick up somebody
Speaker 1: like Detroit, Atlanta or Tennessee. I have no problem with Miami.
Speaker 1: Miami gets the jets and offense. It's done nothing as
Speaker 1: a LA I know, Frank, You're on Miami a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks back. Hasn't exactly worked out. Their defense have
Speaker 1: been shredded on the ground, but Miami gets the Jets
Speaker 1: a good matchup. Yeah, it is out of the of
Speaker 1: the teams that you mentioned. I have Miami ranked inside
Speaker 1: my top eight this week amongst defenses, so I think
Speaker 1: that their stream you're thinking is correct. Look, Sam Donald
Speaker 1: has been turnover prone. I know that the Dolphins are
Speaker 1: giving up a ton of yards and points right now,
Speaker 1: but they're also facing a very inept Jets offense, so
Speaker 1: I will take Miami as well. Next question will come
Speaker 1: as we sign off of YouTube. We say goodbye to
Speaker 1: our YouTube audience and frenzies up next with Chris Ventra,
Speaker 1: Corey Parson, and of course Jim Day. If you're listening
Speaker 1: to the podcast, will go another five minutes or so,
Speaker 1: subscribe like rate and make sure you leave a comment.
Speaker 1: Five minutes live on the radio. One more question, Frank,
Speaker 1: and then we'll get to our best bets of the week.
Speaker 1: The final question comes from Tyler in Missouri. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: needed to start two of the three Courtland Sutton, d J.
Speaker 1: Moore and Josh Gordon. M it's good. It's a good question. Uh,
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton, DJ Moore, Josh Gordon. So the first one
Speaker 1: that I'm getting in there just based on what we've
Speaker 1: been saying Greg, we think it's going to be a shootout.
Speaker 1: I know he didn't do much last week. I'm going
Speaker 1: with Josh Gordon here against the Packers secondary. That's the
Speaker 1: first one that I'm that I'm penciling in. And no,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. I have DJ More and cooland something back
Speaker 1: to back in my rankings right now. DJ Moore is
Speaker 1: one spot higher because of the matchup against Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: It's interesting. I'm actually gonna bench Josh Gordon. I like More,
Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying, and it should be a shootout.
Speaker 1: I don't know that means anything necessarily for Josh Gordon.
Speaker 1: I know they want to get him involved, but naps
Speaker 1: have consistently been there. The production has always him. Last
Speaker 1: week against Buffalo, they kind of did. It was a
Speaker 1: close game for a lot of the games about this, right,
Speaker 1: and it's on Josh Gordon, But he saw a deep
Speaker 1: target in that game that he should have called. He
Speaker 1: should have. That was a that was like a fifty
Speaker 1: yard bomb right there. Yes, he should have and it
Speaker 1: was against tri Davious White. So I'm going Josh Gordon.
Speaker 1: I'm not going Josh Gordon I'm going to Courton Son
Speaker 1: and d J. Moore, alright. I mean I like Sutton too.
Speaker 1: I have him as a high end wide receiver. Three
Speaker 1: this week, let's take one more called a Vona. Let
Speaker 1: me get Jake and Dallas up. All right, But that's
Speaker 1: my fault because I said we're done. So um, all right, Jake,
Speaker 1: I apologize called Correl. I'll make sure he gets to
Speaker 1: you or I'll just answer the phone. Um, well, he's
Speaker 1: the best. Frank Ye give me some music. Pavona. That's
Speaker 1: just better. Yeah, that's okay, Bavona, thank you. All right.
Speaker 1: The current records coming into the week, I'm ten and eleven.
Speaker 1: Frankie is taking me the task. He's now the twelve
Speaker 1: and nine. After a slow start, here we go. My
Speaker 1: first bet like Tampa Bay plus six. I think this
Speaker 1: is closer with Ryan Fitzpatrick and people believe I think
Speaker 1: six is a lot of points. Give me Tamba plus
Speaker 1: six is frank rolls his eyes at man. Let's say it,
Speaker 1: and you are saying that's quite a bit. Actually, all right,
Speaker 1: you got two more. Give me the Houston Texans plus one,
Speaker 1: whether the disasters to final the car Hereston Texans plus
Speaker 1: one in Denver. I think he's just a better team.
Speaker 1: I think they go into Denver they win another game. Here, man,
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is a good quarterback. I like Houston plus
Speaker 1: one in Denver. Final pick of the week. Let's look
Speaker 1: up and down the card. I really wanted to take that.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do it. Um, you're gonna do that.
Speaker 1: I won't touch that. Whatever you want. My final pick
Speaker 1: of the week, let's make it. This is hard, man,
Speaker 1: this is hard. Give me. Give me the Patriots at
Speaker 1: home is five point favorites. Give me the Patriots reggy
Speaker 1: from the five points. So I'm gonna go. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go the opposite side there. I'm gonna take the Packers
Speaker 1: plus five. I just don't see how this game isn't
Speaker 1: a three or four point game, whether it's it's something
Speaker 1: like that. I think we get a lot of points
Speaker 1: in this game, so I like points. I'm also gonna
Speaker 1: take the over. I'm just riding a hot in this
Speaker 1: game right now. Packers plus five give me the over
Speaker 1: at fifty six and a half. And you know, I
Speaker 1: don't really love a lot of spreads this week. And
Speaker 1: I told you that downstairs, Greg, And because of that
Speaker 1: I'm going to hit the totals more so than I
Speaker 1: am going to hit the spreads. For this week, I'm
Speaker 1: taking the under in the Lions and Vikings forty nine points.
Speaker 1: Think we see a lot of running on both sides
Speaker 1: of the Football divisional matchup. I think it's more like
Speaker 1: one game. Um, give me the under Vikings and Lions.
Speaker 1: There you go, our picks are locked for Frank's Devil.
Speaker 1: My name is Greg Susman. Oh I thought it was it.
Speaker 1: We're running that out all right, seconds now, all right,
Speaker 1: So there you go, Frank, you do this weekend? I
Speaker 1: also do kind of like the Steelers off. You just
Speaker 1: want to sprinkle some money line on there this weekend.
Speaker 1: King is in Boston, so it's uh, Frank's got the
Speaker 1: house to him. The feasion of Old Frenzy comes your
Speaker 1: way next, and Frank's dample. My name is Greg Sulln't.
