1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, everybody. It is Thursday, December twelfth, twenty twenty four.

2
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. We're setting fewer

3
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: lineups this week. That you're an MG. Marcus Grant, joined

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: by Michael F. Florio and Lakwan Jones. I've I would ask,

5
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I can ask, LaQuan. Have you

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: done an accounting of how many leagues you have made

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs?

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: Yes?

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: And it's not a lot. Actually, it's only about six,

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 3: six out of the many I told you yesterday.

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 4: You told me you're playing in sure? Can I can

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 4: I say the number? Can I say it out loud?

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: Or just in case Sabrina is listening? No, that's a lot.

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: It's more than five, but less than one hundred, So

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: we'll leave it at that. How's your how's your ledger

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: looking there for the postseason? Uh?

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 5: It's this full disclosure. Has been my easily my first

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 5: year since I've started working here. I've made it. I

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 5: do double digit leagues. I'm in it in four or

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 5: five something like if you count dynasty leagues. But most importantly,

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 5: my wife made the playoffs and has a really good

22
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 5: chance of making the championship.

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: That's the important part because if that's happening, there will

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: be peace at home and you can live comfortably, and

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: that's great. I'm in double digit leagues. I'm with you, Floyl.

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: This has been one of my worst seasons in a while.

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: I think I'm in two at this point, and like, okay, bizarro,

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: it's bizarre, Like, you know, I could blame the players,

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: or I could blame my own poor management of you know,

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: drafting and roster managing. But I'm gonna blame the players.

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: I was like, I've made good decisions, they played poorly.

32
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: That's what I'm going with.

33
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 5: I think it's three now that I three out of

34
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 5: like the eleven or twelve, which.

35
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: Is not great, not great, not great great, But it's

36
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: been a rough year. But we've helped people, and that's

37
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: the important part. That is our job here is to

38
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: help people. We're gonna continue to try to help you

39
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: out with some of our big calls. Four Week fifteen

40
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: is the playoffs get underway in the majority of fantasy leagues.

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: So let's start with Club dub up the non quarterback

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: who is going to be the top scorer of the week.

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: And again, I don't just feel I rarely look at

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: all of these before the show, like I fill in

45
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: my portion of it, and then I come back when

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: we do the show and I look at it. So

47
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: your club dub Lakwan once again is taking me by surprise.

48
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm getting the party bus and we're all hitting

49
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 3: the club with the Ravens defense because obviously Tom and

50
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: Devido you gotta pounce on the easy layups. And I

51
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 3: was really surprised to see that the Ravens were rostered

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: in less than fifty percent of leagues, which is kind

53
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 3: of you know, what they've been doing all seasons, kind

54
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: of warranted for that. But this week you have to

55
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: put them in the starting lineus. You have to get him.

56
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: You're gonna get sack production, possible takeaways, and I think

57
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 3: they're going to be able to keep the Giants out

58
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: of the end zone. So we're looking at huge points

59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 3: this week with the Ravens. DST Wow, all right, look,

60
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: I follow the logic.

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: I will say that, you know, I never thought about

62
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: it because we've been picking on them so much all

63
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: year that it's like, you know, like I thought this

64
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: last week with the Jags and the Titans, and I'm

65
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: like Bill Levis, but Jaguars, I don't know how to

66
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: do that, and so that's that's sort of where I

67
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: am with the Ravens like that, But I appreciate the

68
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: boldness of the call for sure, Uh, yours Florio a

69
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: little bit more conventional for your top scorer.

70
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, fantasy football doesn't always have to be hard. And

71
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 5: when I saw this guy was still still out there,

72
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 5: I was like, sure, give me Jamar Chase, who I

73
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 5: looked at his numbers this week, and I look, everyone

74
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 5: knows he's the unquestioned wide receiver one. I don't think

75
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 5: he's getting enough credit. There is one wide receiver with it.

76
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 5: I mean, no WAD receivers within eighty fantasy points of him.

77
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: There's three within one hundred.

78
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 5: Like he is lapping the position like CMC did last

79
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 5: year running back and Josh Allen, Saquon Barkley. These guys

80
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 5: are getting all the accolades. But like Jamar Chase is

81
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 5: having the best fantasy season of anyone this year. His

82
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 5: average game is a over a touchdown and over one

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 5: hundred yards. And I know the Tennessee Titans have been

84
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 5: a tough defense for wide receivers.

85
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: My reaction to that is like you know that Lebron.

86
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 5: Gift where he's like, like, Jamar Chase is the greatest

87
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 5: wide receiver walking the planet.

88
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: He is going to be absolutely fine.

89
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: To your point, and I looked this up the other day.

90
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: The gap between Jamar Chase and the number two wide receiver,

91
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: which is justin Jefferson, it's almost as big as the

92
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: gap between wide receiver two and wide receiver twenty seven.

93
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: Like that's that's how much further ahead of everybody else

94
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: that Jamar Chase is right now. So yeah, that definitely

95
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: makes a whole lot of sense. I am also like

96
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: Lakwan taking a raven, but I am again kind of going, look, Florida,

97
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: you know my theory on low hanging fruit. Low hanging

98
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: fruit is just as good as the fruit at the

99
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: top of the tree. You know how the work is

100
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: hard to get it. So Derrick Henry along those lines

101
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: is is my pick for the top scorer of the week.

102
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: This feels like a game where the Ravens will be

103
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: able to move the ball at will against the Giants,

104
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: especially if New York can't keep possession, and you know

105
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: they have a lot of short possessions giving the ball

106
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: back Eventually that defense is going to wear down and

107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: I can imagine in the second half it's a game

108
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: script that favors Dereck Henry just running the football over

109
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna just quote Marshaun Lynch, just run through

110
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: up his face over and over and over and I

111
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: don't have enough time for all the overs. But you

112
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: get the point. Derrick Henry gonna have a big week

113
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: this week for the Ravens and your fantasy squad. So

114
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: those are the guys that we think are gonna go big.

115
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 1: Now the guys that we are a little bit worried about,

116
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: like maybe you can't completely get away from them, but

117
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: you don't really like the situation. Who is your red

118
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: flag this week, Lukwan, I gotta.

119
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: Go with Jared goof.

120
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: Jared golf So I like to go on, but he

121
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 3: might be a goof this week being that you know,

122
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: the Bills have been really tough on quarterbacks and as

123
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: of late in the last three games he's just been okay.

124
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: And in the playoffs, I don't need just okay and

125
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 3: think this game is going to shift more towards on

126
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: the ground to try to take on that attack. But

127
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: Jared Goffman, you're looking at one of these situations, if

128
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: you have somebody like a Justin Herbert the pivot to

129
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: or even a bow Knicks this week, man, I will

130
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 3: probably go that way because honestly, the Bills have only

131
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: allowed four quarterbacks this season over two hundred and fifty yards,

132
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: So we're looking at a tough situation through the air

133
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: for Jared Goff. So you know he gets the bench from.

134
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: Me, all right, So no, Jared Goff I think is

135
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: going to be high scoring. I think if anything, maybe

136
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: volume sort of helps him. But I get it if

137
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: you're not really if you're not really confident in starting

138
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: him against that Bill's defense.

139
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, Floria, you're a red flag.

140
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: Is a guy who at least in my mind, has

141
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: been kind of at best all year anyway.

142
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 5: And there was a stretch in the middle of the

143
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 5: season where Naji Harris was having his best fantasy run

144
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 5: in like three years. What was significant during that stretch

145
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 5: was Jalen Warren was not healthy. Since Jalen Warren has

146
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 5: returned in the last five games, Nase Harris iss top

147
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 5: fourteen Fantasy points. Once he's become a lot more touchdown dependent,

148
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 5: he has seen a lot of those valuable passing targets.

149
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: Go to Jalen Warren and then the Eagles.

150
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 5: Not only are they bottom five and fantasy points and

151
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 5: rushing yards allowed two running backs, but they.

152
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: Have a good offense.

153
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: We know that they could easily build a lead against

154
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 5: the Steelers, and when the Steelers play from behind, that's

155
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 5: when we see Jalen Warren a lot more on the

156
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 5: field because he's better pass blocker, he's better pass catcher,

157
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 5: all of that. So I have both of them as

158
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 5: sits this week, but Naji Harris is obviously the big name.

159
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 5: When my thing is always when a player is like

160
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 5: a safe floor player, and that's what Harris is. He

161
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 5: doesn't bring a high ceiling and you're in a tough matchup,

162
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 5: that floor gets lowered and the whole reason you start

163
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 5: them kind of goes away. So yeah, I would, I'd

164
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 5: be looking to get away from Nause this week if

165
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 5: you can.

166
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean looking at Nause.

167
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean generally you're looking at you know, eleven, twelve,

168
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: thirteen points. Every now and then, he will, you know,

169
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: maybe dip under that every once in a while.

170
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: He's got two twenty point games.

171
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: Generally, it's just kind of eleven to thirteen, and that's

172
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: just that range where it's hard to you know, like

173
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: you don't mean you're not putting him on the waiver wire,

174
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: but you're also not really excited about starting him. It's

175
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: just he's just kind of there more than anything. And

176
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: now the matchup's not good for me. I am waving

177
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: the red flag about James Cook this week, and again

178
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: he's another player that it might be hard to get

179
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: away from necessarily, but there's nothing about this matchup.

180
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 4: That makes me excited about him.

181
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: If the Bills are going to succeed, I think it's

182
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: going to be throwing the football. I think it's Josh Allen.

183
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: I think it's Khalil Shakir. You know, we'll see if

184
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: Keyon Coleman and or Dalton kin Kid play, but I

185
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: think that's sort of where it goes. The Lions have

186
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: been really tough on running backs this season. They're just

187
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: they're not giving up yards on the ground, they're not

188
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: giving up rushing touchdowns, and they're not giving up receiving

189
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: yards to running backs either. So in case you think

190
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: that maybe you know, if James Cook gets a bunch

191
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: of targets that maybe that's going to horror help even

192
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: things out. It just has not been where the Lions

193
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: are vulnerable this year, so this just feels like a

194
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: real tough situation for James Cook. I think if you

195
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: want a bill, you want somebody on the pass catching

196
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: side of things. If you can find a way to

197
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: get away from James Cook, maybe you do that this

198
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: week against Detroit. It's time to drive your line up,

199
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: presented by the all new hybrid Toyota Camry. Finally, as

200
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: we close out this edition, let's go with a snore

201
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: lax Lakwan who is your favorite sleeper in week fifteen.

202
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: Two two out?

203
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 3: Well is still available in the waiver wire out there,

204
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: highly available, and it's a short week for DeMarcus Robinson

205
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: who suffered a shoulder injury, so I think it would

206
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: be a nice little plug and play to put him

207
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: in starting lineouts. We know how the forty nine ers

208
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 3: and Rams play, it's always going to be tensions high.

209
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 3: I honestly think this is going to be a high

210
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 3: scoring game for the Rams, so therefore to tow a

211
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: well coming in clutching big moments we saw last week

212
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: on that four and five. You know Stafford likes to

213
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: rely on him when he's stuck back against the wall,

214
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 3: so he gets his fantasy points in chunks, and even

215
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: in the last three games with only thirty seven percent

216
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: into snaps, he's eight for eight on targets and catches

217
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 3: and has more receiving yards than DeMarcus Robinson. So if

218
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 3: DeMarcus Robinson not playing, this is going to be a

219
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: situation where two tuo abo could be very useful for

220
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 3: fantasy managers.

221
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: He did have some big catches when the Niners and

222
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: Rams played at Sofi Stadium early in the year, so

223
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: keep an eye on him. As you mentioned, de Marcus

224
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: Robinson a little bit banged up, so could be more

225
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: opportunities for at well there. Meanwhile, I'm looking at your

226
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: snorlax Flora, I have to ask, are you being honest here?

227
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: Is this how you really feel about this player? Are

228
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: you perhaps being a little bit facetious about this guy?

229
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 5: The exact opposite of that, I'm being sincere about my

230
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 5: boy McCormick, because I've been like trying to pound the

231
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 5: table for this guy the last couple of weeks and

232
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 5: it's come to fruition. Like last week, he played sixty

233
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 5: percent in the snaps, had eighteen opportunities ten. He was

234
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 5: like a ten and a half Fantasy points or something

235
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 5: around that, which isn't the best, but if you it's

236
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 5: one of those situations where if you go back and

237
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 5: watch him, you're probably more impressian if you.

238
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: Just looked at the box score.

239
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 5: He averaged over five yards per carry in each of

240
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 5: his last three games. He keeps getting more and more volume.

241
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 5: He has shown to be a physical runner who has

242
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 5: some explosiveness. He's not like Jamar Jamiir Gibbs or anything

243
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 5: like that, but for a big guy, he's got some speed.

244
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 5: And Antonio Pierce has come out and said that he

245
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 5: has earned the work and what even I think isn't

246
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 5: getting enough attention, as Antonio Pierce said that Alexander Madison

247
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 5: was inactive last week as a numbers game, like it

248
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 5: wasn't he wasn't healthy or anything like that. Since here,

249
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 5: McCormick has fully taken over this backfield. Gets a solid

250
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 5: matchup this week against the Falcons, but then gets the

251
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 5: Jaguars and the Saints. So yeah, someone that could certainly

252
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 5: help you in the fantasy playoffs.

253
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 4: Our pile.

254
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: Patrick Claybon has started calling him honest Spice, So you

255
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: know when when Scary, Sporty Baby Ginger and Posh decide

256
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: to go back on tour, they get add a sixth

257
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: Spice to their group.

258
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 4: They can have honest Spice to bring in.

259
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: Would be proud that you know all their names because

260
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: I only know Sporty Spice.

261
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: Really Hey, look, that was like they were big during

262
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, like my college years.

263
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 4: So like it hit, you know, it definitely hit.

264
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: It hit. It hit a spot may or may not

265
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: have had a big crush on Scary Spice.

266
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: I'm not going to act like I haven't seen the

267
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: movie Spice World.

268
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: That what it is something like that I did not

269
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: expect to get on this tangent they get out of

270
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: Spice World. I'll tell you what I want, what I

271
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: really really want. I want you to start Rico Dowdell

272
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: this week in your fantasy leagues because he he's kind

273
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: of a sleeper. He's he's on the edge of sleeperdom.

274
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: Like the way he has played the last few weeks,

275
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: He's just becoming a guy that you can start consistently

276
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: as a running back to the Cowboys. Thankfully have decided

277
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: that the Ezekiel Elliott experiment is basically over. Zeke gets

278
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: in the game every once in a while just to

279
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: sort of give Dowdell a rest, but it's a parent

280
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: who is the running back one now there in Dallas,

281
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: Dowdell has been playing some really good football over the

282
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: last few weeks, back to back games with over one

283
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards. Even before that he had eighty six

284
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: rushing yards. Is getting a little bit or not an

285
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: extraordinary amount of work, but a little bit of work

286
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: in the passing game, but more importantly just running the.

287
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 4: Ball really really well.

288
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: As the best possible matchup you could imagine for a

289
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: running back this week going against the Carolina Panthers, So

290
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: you know this, at this point, it's hard to make

291
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: a case against Rico Dowdell. I mean, next week he's

292
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: got the Bucks. Week seventeen, they end at Philadelphia, so

293
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: the matchup is not great, but the way he's being used,

294
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: it's just hard to imagine getting away from Dowdell at

295
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: any point for the rest of the season.

296
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 4: So there it is.

297
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,000
