Speaker 1: so I can't even turn it off. And this is great,
Speaker 1: This is great. I mean, look, if we didn't bring
Speaker 1: it up, nobody would know that he's frozen. It's awesome. Um,
Speaker 1: what dr Manhattan over here and there it is now
Speaker 1: now he's really gone. Now we've got nothing. This is
Speaker 1: live skype action here and look we have professional producers downstairs.
Speaker 1: Split screen shot. Awesome, good shot, guys. I'm proud of everybody.
Speaker 1: I'm proud of everybody. But Ey is actually gone forever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gone forever. Um, you know, I'm an Illinois at
Speaker 1: two things. One, I forgot to text you what went
Speaker 1: down in his lead that people came to blows. I've
Speaker 1: met to text them about that. I gotta do it today.
Speaker 1: We will do it today, Okay. The second thing is
Speaker 1: people see like people are, especially the split shot that
Speaker 1: we have right now. You guys, it's like really nice,
Speaker 1: like dress shirt on the frank really dresses. I got
Speaker 1: my sweater and T shirt on, which is what I
Speaker 1: was supposed to wear for what we're doing later. He's
Speaker 1: in his pajamas. But anyway, people are gonna say, but
Speaker 1: this is what we're supposed to wear, right, You're not wrong,
Speaker 1: so wearing it? And then I so I asked Alex,
Speaker 1: now I gotta sweater a black fry. What do you
Speaker 1: think it is? I like it? Yeah, I mean a
Speaker 1: lot of people that stairs. Don't seem to like your
Speaker 1: wardrobe lately into it. But yeah, you know, I just
Speaker 1: not digging the winter wardrobe. I bought a few shirts
Speaker 1: last week. I don't know what to wear anymore because
Speaker 1: you know, one production is telling me to wear this,
Speaker 1: the other production telling me to wear that. So you
Speaker 1: know what, Greg, I'm just gonna wear a button down shirt.
Speaker 1: We go over to M sgu later, I'll throw on
Speaker 1: a little jacket. We'll be all good, buddy, alright, we'll
Speaker 1: be all good. All right, So let's I know what
Speaker 1: the end of the games are you in the Thursday
Speaker 1: night football and no Virginia Zaka she tore her a
Speaker 1: c L. How a the irony in that she tore
Speaker 1: her a c L from inside injuries? Uh, it seems
Speaker 1: that she has quite the injury herself playing soccer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that she was. Yeah, so that is
Speaker 1: very unfortunate. We will not have her this week. Hopefully
Speaker 1: she'll be she'll be good to go in in the
Speaker 1: coming weeks after she has surgery. But yeah, we we
Speaker 1: asked her what her optimal recovery time was. I don't
Speaker 1: think she liked those shown game. We then gave her
Speaker 1: optimal recovery time. She didn't like that one either. There's
Speaker 1: no response. In fact, she just might never join us again, Greig,
Speaker 1: at this point, it would be the first girl you
Speaker 1: shoot away. What does that mean? You know what it means?
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. What it means? All right, that's
Speaker 1: kind of some breaking news. Before he hit the break,
Speaker 1: James Conner. Oh, this Sunday for the Bittsburgh Steelers. He
Speaker 1: will not return at Arizona. Are you comfortably e y
Speaker 1: going back to bank Snell? Yeah? I think so. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you have Benny Snell, or
Speaker 1: you know, you were carrying Benny Snell and replace of Connor, Like,
Speaker 1: what choice do you have? It's not like, uh, you
Speaker 1: would have a bunch of other running backs that you
Speaker 1: could get. I mean Snell looked okay. Uh So, I
Speaker 1: mean comfortable. I don't think would be the word to
Speaker 1: describe it. I think I would I'd feel forced to
Speaker 1: play him. I don't know if force is the right
Speaker 1: word either. You're right, y, Like, I wouldn't feel comfortable
Speaker 1: with it. I think I would just feel fine, Like
Speaker 1: that's the word. That I would say about Benny Snell
Speaker 1: as a as a low end RB two, a high
Speaker 1: end RB three flex option. You know he's not gonna
Speaker 1: do anything in the past game. He got up to
Speaker 1: a real slow start last week, Greg and I was
Speaker 1: worried we're using channel and Samuel's early on in that game,
Speaker 1: and Kreth White was getting his uh his five carries
Speaker 1: in the first half of that game as well. But ultimately,
Speaker 1: when when it came push the show, Benny Snell ended
Speaker 1: up being the guy. He scored a touchdown. He tried
Speaker 1: his best to do a goal gold dunk. It was
Speaker 1: more like a layup and he snelled more of a
Speaker 1: well you're not allowed to duncan anymore. Yeah, he's he's
Speaker 1: a he's a heavier fellow anymore. So I don't think
Speaker 1: that he has the the ups to to get up
Speaker 1: there to the goal post. But he did try his best.
Speaker 1: He scored a touchdown. The workload has been there for
Speaker 1: him against Arizona, I think it should be a competitive game.
Speaker 1: Actually really liked the Steelers in that game. Um So,
Speaker 1: I think he's a solid flex option, a high end
Speaker 1: flex option. Would you're the start? James M Many Snell
Speaker 1: or the Niners guys Matt Breeder, he most are Devin Coleman.
Speaker 1: So that's basically where I'm up to in my ranking.
Speaker 1: So I ranked my top twenty four and then it's
Speaker 1: just black, it's everything else, it's Benny Snell, it's the
Speaker 1: forty Niners running back. So I'm currently working on that,
Speaker 1: but as of now, based on the news that we
Speaker 1: got from James Conner being out, I would prefer Benny
Speaker 1: Snell over the forty Niners. Are I probably agree too
Speaker 1: much a question when comes to Niners, you know we're
Speaker 1: gon get his fifteen, especially against Arizona. All Right, we'll
Speaker 1: take a break. We got Thursday football to preview. That
Speaker 1: will be fun between the Bears and the Cowboys. So
Speaker 1: let's get into that over some my headlines as well
Speaker 1: and start our Sunday previews. Not the new to be
Speaker 1: up as NFL season is now upon us and you
Speaker 1: can become the eighth person away one million dollars in
Speaker 1: a Fandueler DraftKings tournament. My setting their lineups using the

Speaker 1: is versus relish? But your your ke shirts is gents
Speaker 1: versus relish. I gotta look like I don't know. I
Speaker 1: just I just woke up wearing. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's a violent gentleman T shirt. Hockey you guys wouldn't understand.
Speaker 1: So I saw it during the break and I actually
Speaker 1: said to Greg, what the hell is e Y wearing?
Speaker 1: It looks like an eight bit hockey fight. Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. It's an eight bit hockey
Speaker 1: fight like Nintendo old Nintendo video game cover shirt. It's
Speaker 1: super cool. But I never really looked at it that closely.
Speaker 1: If I'm because I never read the shirt. I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm obligated to say this for producer Alex downt
Speaker 1: Let's go isles, baby. Yeah you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: what that means. A big island. You gotta love the
Speaker 1: blue and orange good year to be an Islanders fan.
Speaker 1: There you go, I got I got it right, Greg.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk this week that Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones and the kind of owner that he is. He's
Speaker 1: a good owner, he's a bad owners and badn't too
Speaker 1: much to say a team together, and I'm like it
Speaker 1: does it seems silly? Like why are we doing this?
Speaker 1: It seems too far. It's because Jerry Jones speaks after
Speaker 1: every game like you know what Jerry is right, Like
Speaker 1: you know that Jerry Jones is who he is for
Speaker 1: better or worse. Tonight, Jerry Jones leads his team into
Speaker 1: actually in Chicago against the Bears. Bears are a three
Speaker 1: and a half I believe maybe down to three now
Speaker 1: point dog tonight at home against Chicago freaky. What do
Speaker 1: you expect for the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago Bears tonight? Well,
Speaker 1: it's do or die basically for both teams here in
Speaker 1: this game. You know, Chicago Bears are technically still alive,
Speaker 1: but they play in one of the tougher divisions this
Speaker 1: year in terms of record, with the Green Bay Packers
Speaker 1: in Minnesota vikings ahead of them. As of now. I
Speaker 1: know that they are still obviously gonna try to to
Speaker 1: make a run for it. Here saw comments from clil
Speaker 1: Mac after their Thanksgiving win against the Lions. But man,
Speaker 1: I do like the Dallas Cowboys here in the spot.
Speaker 1: Don't know that I would lay the three. I think,
Speaker 1: just to be safe, I would probably just go with
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys moneyline overall here, Greg, and from a
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective, I think it is a tough spot for
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and a Mari Cooper. So I put out
Speaker 1: the poll before the show, Greg regarding a Marii Cooper
Speaker 1: and how people feel about you know, ranking him tonight,
Speaker 1: and I said, is he a must start wide receiver?
Speaker 1: Is he a low end wide receiver, too high and
Speaker 1: wide receiver three? Or is the matchup just too tough
Speaker 1: where you just ben Shamari Cooper and right now say
Speaker 1: that he is still a must start regardless of matchup.
Speaker 1: I actually think he's more of a low and wide
Speaker 1: receiver two in this matchup. You know, Look, the outside
Speaker 1: corners for the Bears have been very good. I know
Speaker 1: that Prince of Mukamara is banged up, but Fuller is
Speaker 1: still there and he is one of the better ones
Speaker 1: in the league. So for me. I think a Maori
Speaker 1: Cooper is more of a low end wide receiver too.
Speaker 1: And I think that Jason Witten is in a good
Speaker 1: spot here, Greg I mentioned him as a waiver wire pickup.
Speaker 1: You can attack the Bears with tight ends. I think
Speaker 1: that Randall Cobb is a sneaky play if you play
Speaker 1: in DFS. Probably not gonna use him in my season
Speaker 1: long playoffs, but I like his prop as well. I
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys get it done tonight, Greig, I like
Speaker 1: the Cowboys tonight as well. I like them at their number. Um,
Speaker 1: that's just three point favorites, I think. But it is
Speaker 1: interesting right that you like the Cowboys but you don't
Speaker 1: like their top weapon, Mark Cooper, which means you probably
Speaker 1: don't like their other weapon on the outside, as like
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are good in Mike in Michael Gallup, are you
Speaker 1: in love the equality tonight is? I think it's equity.
Speaker 1: It's going to have a big game. I still have
Speaker 1: him ranked as a top three running back this week.
Speaker 1: He's coming off a game where he just had ten
Speaker 1: targets seven receptions, so they're starting to use him more
Speaker 1: in the passing game. I do worry a little bit
Speaker 1: about Dak from from a fantasy perspective, I think that
Speaker 1: he'll be able to do enough from a real life
Speaker 1: NFL perspective to help the Cowboys get a victory tonight.
Speaker 1: But there's no denying that he has been much better
Speaker 1: at home this year than he has been on the road.
Speaker 1: He's averaging seven and a half fewer fantasy points on
Speaker 1: the road this season and seventy fewer passing yards per
Speaker 1: game on the road this season. Obviously, going into Soldier
Speaker 1: Field and playing against the Chicago Bears is not going
Speaker 1: to be an easy task. I think he is more
Speaker 1: of a low end QB one, high end QB two.
Speaker 1: I can give you a few quarterbacks that I have
Speaker 1: ranked ahead of him. I got a question about Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott actually the shirt. So the question was Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: or Jamis Winston. I would use Jameis Winston, That's what
Speaker 1: I said. Yeah, so I have Jameis Winston eight. I
Speaker 1: have Tannehill ninth. Of course my boy, E wise boy,
Speaker 1: as well as Sam Darnald QB tan. I'm going back
Speaker 1: to that well, and then I have Dak Prescott QB eleven,
Speaker 1: and you know I'm gonna put on my rankings later
Speaker 1: on Rhodo experts, I might drop him even lower than this.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about doing that. Okay, e y, where are
Speaker 1: you on Dak Prescott? Tonight? Frank made a good poll
Speaker 1: question today regards to with Marik Cooper. What do you
Speaker 1: think he's back? He's back and he's gone? What is
Speaker 1: going on? All right? Well? Anyway, so to me go
Speaker 1: back to your Mark Cooper question for a moment, I
Speaker 1: think Mark Cooper is probably the low end too high,
Speaker 1: and think maybe a high end to um, but not
Speaker 1: the rocks alid high end wide receiver. One tonight, we've
Speaker 1: seen him in mad matches, We've seen underperformed. Where did
Speaker 1: you have Gallop? Right? He's he's a solid wide receiver
Speaker 1: three solid to low end. Wait, he's the top thirty
Speaker 1: six wide receiver. I just I don't feel great about
Speaker 1: I think Mukamara being out. Someone's going to benefit from that.
Speaker 1: Between Mari Cooper and Michael Gallup, I don't know you
Speaker 1: know which one exactly. I think that obviously they'd probably
Speaker 1: send more defensive attention a Mari Cooper's way. But ultimately
Speaker 1: I do think this is a big Zeke game. I
Speaker 1: think Witten gets it done. And I think Randall Cobb
Speaker 1: will be solid as well. So I'm I'm just not
Speaker 1: feel really feeling great about a Marie Cooper gallup. I
Speaker 1: have him as a you know, high end tight end two,
Speaker 1: which is like where the streaming tight ends normally are.
Speaker 1: I brought this up earlier in the week. The Bears
Speaker 1: allow the seventh most fantasy points to opposing tight ends.
Speaker 1: They allow the fourth most receptions. One of my favorite
Speaker 1: prop bets tonight, greg is Jason Witten over three and
Speaker 1: a half receptions and over twenty I believe it's twenty
Speaker 1: four and a half receiving yards. It's just a low
Speaker 1: number for Jason Witten, who has routinely gone over that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his number is twenty five and a half. So over
Speaker 1: three and a half receptions over twenty five and a
Speaker 1: half receiving yards for Jason Witten tonight, I think he's
Speaker 1: in play as a streaming tendan. All right, we'll leave
Speaker 1: get to you Bears in a second, but leta get
Speaker 1: to you eui. When it comes to Dallas, Frank brought
Speaker 1: up how he doesn't love a mari how he doesn't
Speaker 1: love a mare Cooper. Tonight, Michael Gal kind of is
Speaker 1: what he is. Where are you on all of these
Speaker 1: Cowboys scoop position players tonight? Yeah, I think I got
Speaker 1: uh going along with what Frank says. I think that
Speaker 1: Ezekiel It is going to show up and show up
Speaker 1: and in a big way because the Dallas Cowboys need him. Uh,
Speaker 1: they were rotten last week. Um, Chicago has been approved.
Speaker 1: Most importantly, Mitchell to Risky has been improved. So I
Speaker 1: feel like Dallas is going to have to move the ball.
Speaker 1: And they're the Chicago Bears. Outside corners are really good.
Speaker 1: So that's going to a kind of slow Marie Cooper
Speaker 1: slow down gallop. It could be a sneaky good game
Speaker 1: for Randall. Cop Uh is someone that I would be
Speaker 1: interested in. Um maybe maybe tonight, but I mean for
Speaker 1: sure I would be going with Ezekiel Elliott starting him
Speaker 1: without worry. Greg Graham Barfield of NFL Fantasy tweeted out
Speaker 1: this chart of based on receiver alignment, where defenses have
Speaker 1: been allowing the most Fantasy points over the last eight weeks.
Speaker 1: Make sure you give m a follow on Twitter. He
Speaker 1: puts out great stuff. So over the past eight weeks,
Speaker 1: Chicago is allowing the ninth their ninth against outside wide receivers,
Speaker 1: so pretty good. Obviously in the top half of the league.
Speaker 1: They are seventeen against slot receivers, so that has been
Speaker 1: the way to attack the Chicago Bears over the past
Speaker 1: eight weeks. We did see, you know, Kenny Gollady had
Speaker 1: the long touchdown last week, Marvin Jonan scored a touchdown.
Speaker 1: I'm not telling people to Benjamari Cooper obviously, I'm just
Speaker 1: saying he's not the slam dun play that he has
Speaker 1: been all season long. So just keep your expectations realistic
Speaker 1: when it comes to Amari Cooper. I think most people
Speaker 1: that have him, you're gonna have to play him, obviously,
Speaker 1: but I do think that there are some other peripheral
Speaker 1: pieces that can have a good game for the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Me over to the other side, that is the Chicago
Speaker 1: Barre's a lot of people, yourself included. I've talked to
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller here this week. Where's Anthony Miller in your rankings?
Speaker 1: So I'm basically in the same predicament where I am
Speaker 1: with with my running back rank He's where I've ranked
Speaker 1: the top twenty four. Anthony Miller is not gonna be
Speaker 1: a top twenty four wide receiver. But he's gonna make
Speaker 1: it in as a as a top thirty six wide receiver. Three.
Speaker 1: I am very bullish on Anthony Miller. I've been saying
Speaker 1: that all week long. I mean, his usage has been great,
Speaker 1: at least nine targets in three straight games. Here the
Speaker 1: monster game against the Lions on Thanksgiving last week. And
Speaker 1: I'll go back to this chart, Greggy. The Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: over the past eight weeks allowing the fifth most Fantasy
Speaker 1: points to opposing slot receivers, and they are at the
Speaker 1: same time they are sixth best against outside wide receivers.
Speaker 1: So again, like similar situation to Amari Cooper. I like
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller a lot tonight, Craig. I am not gonna
Speaker 1: get away from using Allen Robinson, but you have to
Speaker 1: be you know, realist, stick with what you expect in
Speaker 1: this game. But ultimately I do like Anthony Miller. His
Speaker 1: usage has been there. No Taylor Gabriel, Uh, It's basically
Speaker 1: just him and Allen Robinson, who we're seeing the targets.
Speaker 1: Not worried about Javon Wims and you know, whatever third
Speaker 1: string tight end they're throwing out there. I think the
Speaker 1: targets are condensed to Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller, and Tarik
Speaker 1: Cohen uh and then David Montgomery is more of a
Speaker 1: low end RB two because of his usage in the
Speaker 1: red zone. All right, so there you have it. That's
Speaker 1: a Frankie season, Bears and the Cowboys breaking down. We're
Speaker 1: gonna stop there, We're gonna continue want we had a
Speaker 1: lot on Sunday and chat about so stick around, pull
Speaker 1: a lot more coming your ways. Your BFFs, Frank, Greg
Speaker 1: and e Y on sports screen. NFL season is now
Speaker 1: upon us and you can become the eighth person away
Speaker 1: one million dollars in a fan Noel Draft Kings tournament.
Speaker 1: My sitting there lineups using the Daily Roder dot Com
Speaker 1: DFS a lot of optimizer. If you were playing Dailly

Speaker 1: you're doing it wrong. Sign up down for the NFL

Speaker 1: Tailor order dot com where millionaires are made back with
Speaker 1: you BFFs. Right snaffle, Eric Young and Greg's US we're
Speaker 1: hanging out here on sports Grid. There's a football light
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Bears. What are you gonna watch? Key mirrors
Speaker 1: from it? I'm gonna stick home. I've got to I've
Speaker 1: got a prep for everything tomorrow too. I still have
Speaker 1: to take some notes for the rest of the games.
Speaker 1: I've basically taken about ten games worth of notes, so
Speaker 1: I gotta finish that up. I've gotta get my my
Speaker 1: betting notes ready to go for the weekend as well.
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, basically just gonna be doing some research
Speaker 1: while watching the game, creaking some beers like you mentioned.
Speaker 1: I did just want to give out a few other
Speaker 1: props that I like for tonight. I've I've moved more
Speaker 1: into the props recently. Unless there's like something I really
Speaker 1: like in the game, I lean with the under tonight.
Speaker 1: I like the Dallas money line. I can see this
Speaker 1: game being, you know, decided by a late game field goal,
Speaker 1: so I don't want to take the I don't want
Speaker 1: to lay the three with the Cowboys. I would take
Speaker 1: the money line, but Witten over three and a half,
Speaker 1: Witten over twenty five and a half, Randall cob over
Speaker 1: forty six and a half, Anthony Miller over fifty and
Speaker 1: a half receiving yards. Those are my favorite props to
Speaker 1: the night, all right, the favorite props tonight Thursday night football.
Speaker 1: It should be a fun one in the Windy City tonight. Now,
Speaker 1: let me move on a Sunday, Fay. I want to
Speaker 1: We wanted to it's playoffs, and our thought was with
Speaker 1: Virginia out with her torn a c L, he wanted
Speaker 1: to spend enough time on all these games today and
Speaker 1: tomorrow we can answer more questions tomorrow. We're not rushing
Speaker 1: through every game because there's no more buys, right, So, like,
Speaker 1: there's literally sixteen games this weekend, and we got to
Speaker 1: make sure we hit them all. So I wanted to
Speaker 1: start it hits from of them today, and I want
Speaker 1: to start in a weird spot, like this is the
Speaker 1: game that we would wind up not hitting tomorrow. Right,
Speaker 1: And that's like the Bengals in the Browns where it's love.
Speaker 1: It's the a f C. North. It's two crumby teams
Speaker 1: from Ohio, and I like the way you use crummy
Speaker 1: the way that e Y uses rotten. These are two
Speaker 1: rotten teams. They are It's exactly what they are, not wrong,
Speaker 1: just like the usage of the word people really like
Speaker 1: any Dalton this week with the Bengals. What people, what true?
Speaker 1: Jim people from Cincinnati. Jim Sonnis of fan Nuel likes
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton this week. Well, from a DFS perspective, I'm
Speaker 1: sure that his salary is really low and that has
Speaker 1: a lot to do with Cleveland has allowed multiple poven
Speaker 1: has allowed multiple touchdown passes in eight of twelve games,
Speaker 1: and they're eight and half point dogs, So that'll be
Speaker 1: in come back with game. I can see it from
Speaker 1: a DFS perspective. But if my if my season one
Speaker 1: playoffs are on the line outside of a super flex
Speaker 1: and maybe not even then probably staying away from Andy Dalton.
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton not on your radar, but this Tyler Boyd
Speaker 1: on your radar here this week. Frank So, I do
Speaker 1: like the usage from last week. Obviously right the ten
Speaker 1: targets with Andy Dalton bag he scored a touchdown. John
Speaker 1: Ross is expected to be back for this game. I
Speaker 1: don't think that he's gonna play a full compliment of snaps.
Speaker 1: I was actually reading up about John Ross last night.
Speaker 1: Apparently he was like an inch away from something puncturing
Speaker 1: and artery on him. You know his injury potentially being fatal,
Speaker 1: so shout out to John Ross. I'm happy that he's
Speaker 1: all right. But ultimately, the Cleveland Browns over the past
Speaker 1: eight weeks, I'm gonna keep referencing this chart because I
Speaker 1: thought it was I thought it was pretty awesome work.
Speaker 1: Over the past eight weeks, they're allowing the eighth fewest
Speaker 1: Fantasy points to slot receivers. So I think it's a
Speaker 1: tougher spot here for Tyler Boyd, But based on the
Speaker 1: usage from last week, he is still in that high
Speaker 1: end wide receiver three low end wide receiver to territory.
Speaker 1: Why what say you? Yeah, I'm not super interested in
Speaker 1: in anybody. The only person that I think that that
Speaker 1: could have an okay game is Mixing. I feel like, uh,
Speaker 1: they're they're starting to use him more and use him
Speaker 1: more properly because he should be catching the ball, running
Speaker 1: the ball, get getting heavy usage. So Mixing is a
Speaker 1: guy that I trust them the Bengals. And if you
Speaker 1: if I mean, if you have boy You're probably gonna
Speaker 1: start him. You're not scared of the Cleveland secondary at all.
Speaker 1: So and there's obviously a connection between him and Andy Dalton.
Speaker 1: What did you see my tweet last night about Joe Mixon,
Speaker 1: is that why you brought him up? You wore no
Speaker 1: I like Joe Maxon. I'd liked him all year. Um,
Speaker 1: I have him on a bunch of my teams. But
Speaker 1: the sad truth is is he just wasn't getting used
Speaker 1: like like he he should have been. But I feel
Speaker 1: that has been turning the last couple of weeks. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: So here's what I tweeted out, Greg, drink for everybody
Speaker 1: at home. Over the last five games for Joe Mixon,
Speaker 1: he's averaging nineteen point eight carries per game, seventy seven
Speaker 1: point eight rushing yards, he has three total touchdowns, and
Speaker 1: he has at least three targets in four of those
Speaker 1: five games. During that span, Greg, he is the RB
Speaker 1: ten in Fantasy points per games. So the workload has
Speaker 1: been there for Joe Mixon. Starting to score more touchdown
Speaker 1: targets are up for him as well. And Cleveland is
Speaker 1: twenty three and run defense TV away, so Joe makes
Speaker 1: it for me high n RB two On the other
Speaker 1: side to Cleveland Browns Beckham talking about today, he doesn't
Speaker 1: nowhere he'll be next year. You have a contract. Think
Speaker 1: he'll just go off on an excursion. Who knows, we'll
Speaker 1: find out a lot of players that just don't play
Speaker 1: out their contracts nowadays. Does he want to be there?
Speaker 1: Does he not want to be there? He does? You
Speaker 1: know what, I'm not gonna answer that question. Maybe he'll
Speaker 1: be posing for g somewhere. Why is it always receivers?
Speaker 1: What is it about wide receivers? And they're all lunatics?
Speaker 1: And why is that? I got another way? It doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense, all right, sorry, e y. Maybe it's concussions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not a real thing. Set you right up for that.
Speaker 1: Um for Odell Beckham, I had a question today is
Speaker 1: why bringing Odell Beckham part up? Start? Three of these guys? Ready,
Speaker 1: ye Vante Parker beck Um? I think I got the
Speaker 1: same question Alan Robinson and Kenny Gallina. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: got the same question, and I told this gentleman to
Speaker 1: bench Kenny Golladay as did I. Yeah, and I don't
Speaker 1: feel great about it because you can throw against the Vikings,
Speaker 1: you can actually attack them with wide receivers. The last
Speaker 1: time the Lions face the Vikings, Marvin Jones had four
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns. So you know that you can actually take
Speaker 1: advantage of the Vikings in that way, but you still
Speaker 1: have some pause when it comes to David Blow Blow
Speaker 1: however you want to say his name as the quarterback
Speaker 1: here for the Detroit Lions, Alan Robinson, The targets have
Speaker 1: been consistent. We spoke about that earlier on Odell Beckham. Look, ultimately,
Speaker 1: you just trust Baker Mayfield in this spot more than
Speaker 1: you do. You know, a third string quarterback of the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions going up against the Cincinnati Bengals, Like, it's
Speaker 1: a good match up here as well, right, so you
Speaker 1: would expect Odell Beckham to take advantage of this. You
Speaker 1: like the quarterback play more so. I think it's close.
Speaker 1: But I would choose to bench Kenny Golladay. What about you, Eway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would feel probably the same way as how I
Speaker 1: would end up answering that question. But man, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I got Galada looked pretty good last week. Um him
Speaker 1: and Blow or blow or however you say his name
Speaker 1: like you guys are saying. I mean, they seemed to
Speaker 1: be a bit of a connection. I think Golladay that
Speaker 1: may have been his best game all year. I'm not
Speaker 1: a hunter person shirt on that, but I think it
Speaker 1: is Um and Beckham has just been so such a
Speaker 1: disappointment for where he was drafted. Um, but I think
Speaker 1: I would still sit Galladay out of those just because
Speaker 1: of the matchup for Beckham. Yeah, I agree, man, But
Speaker 1: it's like you're on the fence there, like you want
Speaker 1: to use and the thing is with the the thing
Speaker 1: was blow is why Eileen is just bench Golliday against Minnesota.
Speaker 1: You're right, they could be beaten through the air. It's
Speaker 1: still like a ferocious pass rush, like you only had
Speaker 1: five targets to that thing. You like. Obviously all of
Speaker 1: his production, most of his production came on that one
Speaker 1: seventy five yard play and it was a broken play.
Speaker 1: It was obviously a misassignment for the Chicago Bears, and
Speaker 1: that was great, Like if you ended up starting Kenny Golladay.
Speaker 1: I actually had to tweet out on Thanksgiving. I apologize
Speaker 1: to all the people that I told to bench Kenny Golladay,
Speaker 1: cause you know, I felt terrible. You know, the the
Speaker 1: guy first play of the game ends up scoring a
Speaker 1: seventy five yard touchdown, but you know it's a broken play.
Speaker 1: Those things are gonna happen in the NFL at times.
Speaker 1: And I think here, just you know, the targets have
Speaker 1: still been there for Odell Beckham. He's wide receiver twenty
Speaker 1: six on the season. Yes, he's been a disappointment, but
Speaker 1: you know, again the targets are there. You can take
Speaker 1: advantage of Cincinnati. Actually, you know, while we're talking about
Speaker 1: this game, I love Jarvis Landry to Greg. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's wide receiver fourteen on the season. He has double
Speaker 1: digit targets in five of his last six. You can uh,
Speaker 1: it's actually easier to target the slot receiver against the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals than anything else. So I like both of
Speaker 1: these guys. Obviously, Jarvis Landry is a legit, you know,
Speaker 1: high end wide receiver two at this point, Absolutely, Jervis Landry,
Speaker 1: as I said in the last couple of weeks, right,
Speaker 1: the top receiver for Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: And it has been that way for a little while now, right,
Speaker 1: would you use Baker Mayfield over Dak Prescott. Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: seventeen plus fantasy points in four of his last five games.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's defense has been playing better as of late. You know,
Speaker 1: the Jets came in hot last week and they they
Speaker 1: shut that down real quick. Has been a lot better
Speaker 1: as a late Actually, would I use him over Dock
Speaker 1: because I saw this question on Twitter earlier and said
Speaker 1: I would not Baker easily. I would not. I think
Speaker 1: it's that easy. I would not use him over there
Speaker 1: eight and a half point favorites. You can run on
Speaker 1: this team, right Like, if the Browns get up in
Speaker 1: this game, you know we're gonna see a lot of Chubb.
Speaker 1: We're gonna see a lot of Kareem Hunt. I have
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is a top three running back this week
Speaker 1: going up against this Cincinnati Bengals defense, and then Kareem
Speaker 1: Hunt actually out snapped Nick Chubb for the first time
Speaker 1: last week. That's because they were playing from behind. But
Speaker 1: he has at least five targets in three of four
Speaker 1: games that he's been active for with the Browns, Cincinnati
Speaker 1: allowing four point six seven yards for carry of running
Speaker 1: backs the eighth most fantasy points. I think Kareem Haunt
Speaker 1: is a low one RB two. I think Nick Chubb
Speaker 1: is a top five running back this week. Nick Chubbs
Speaker 1: got to get freaking carries though, man Like, it's very,
Speaker 1: very frustrating, and he doesn't play any third downs anymore.
Speaker 1: They's essentially splitting snaps. So he's all like Derk Henry. Now,
Speaker 1: it's very frustrating. So Nick Chubb, I guess a lot
Speaker 1: of it does depending on what Kareem Hunt next year.
Speaker 1: But Creme Huns back on this team next year, what
Speaker 1: do you do about Nick Chubb in your draft? I
Speaker 1: still think that Chubb is going to be a first
Speaker 1: round pick next year because he has seen a lot
Speaker 1: of volume. Even with Kareem Hunt being there. You look
Speaker 1: at his game log, he's still getting twenty carries what
Speaker 1: seems like every single week. The targets have been down,
Speaker 1: but they still use him in the red zone. He
Speaker 1: gets to the goal line, work um and the talent
Speaker 1: is obviously there with Nick Chubb. So I think heading
Speaker 1: into next year, you know whether Kareem Hunt is there
Speaker 1: or not. If Kareem Hunt is there, Nick Chubb is
Speaker 1: probably a like a back end first round pick. And
Speaker 1: I think if Kareem Hunt is gone, Nick chop is
Speaker 1: probably a top five Pickni. I completely, I'm on the
Speaker 1: same page with you. We had about a minute ago
Speaker 1: before the breaks, let me sneak in one more game here,
Speaker 1: and that is a game between Detroit Minnesota. We were
Speaker 1: talking about this with Kenny Golladay anyway. Right, So let's
Speaker 1: just kind of dive in full throttle here what you
Speaker 1: do about these pieces? And you've talked a lot of
Speaker 1: I owned most Garborough about out. You don't want to
Speaker 1: start Bo Scarborough. This week, I've looked into this a
Speaker 1: little bit more. Greg, I'm sorry, buddy. I look Wednesdays
Speaker 1: are my big research to night, Greg, Bo Scarbro. The
Speaker 1: usage the past three weeks fourteen, eighteen and twenty one
Speaker 1: carries Minnesota just got ran all over by Seattle. You
Speaker 1: traded him away to Creg. It's I didn't trade away.
Speaker 1: Minnesota had allowed the eighth most fantasy points of running
Speaker 1: backs over the last I've been trying to tell you that.
Speaker 1: He said, Oh, despite what they did on one Monday night,
Speaker 1: like they I still don't want to start about. But
Speaker 1: they are thirteen point at thirteen point dogs. So I'm
Speaker 1: now in the same predicament. Frank, all right, what is
Speaker 1: your question? Greg? I will try to try to make
Speaker 1: this about me, and he just turned it about me. Well,
Speaker 1: I want to help you out. I need the help man.
Speaker 1: It's it's Bow, it's Patrick Laird, it's Alexander Madison. Oh
Speaker 1: I feel like yesterday, I probably ranked Boscarborough last of
Speaker 1: those you did. We're going with boy, Why what about
Speaker 1: you Bow, Patrick Laird, Alexander Madison, Yeah, I probably go
Speaker 1: bow as well. The came out today that Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: is going to play Sunday for for certain So so
Speaker 1: you're saying that the three of us believe we're back, baby.
Speaker 1: NFL season is now upon us, and you can become
Speaker 1: the eighth person away one million dollars in a Fandueler

Speaker 1: Daily Order dot Com where millionaires are made. Right, what
Speaker 1: did you do these Thursday games? I realized yan Sunday
Speaker 1: games something you can Sorry, um, I realized as we're
Speaker 1: talking about believing like you probably could actually get us
Speaker 1: to talk to Bouw Dallas if we if we if
Speaker 1: we wanted. He believes with us. Yeah, we we probably could.
Speaker 1: I am Bo uh not much of a fantasy guy
Speaker 1: out of the b team, that's uh more. Joe Henning, big,
Speaker 1: big fantasy guy. Uh yeah, bos good dude, it was
Speaker 1: a good all right, nice? So we all both leave together.
Speaker 1: Were believing in Boscar pros this week. I can't believe
Speaker 1: we're doing this again. We should buy Bo Dallas a
Speaker 1: bow scarbro jersey from the BFS. All right, we can
Speaker 1: do that, do that, and then he'll have to become
Speaker 1: a Detroit like it's on a different team next year.
Speaker 1: End stink. So we just wasted their money. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no no, I don't know what start over. My
Speaker 1: man doesn't seem like a good financial decision. Doesn't know
Speaker 1: a good financial decision. Alright, we could buy Joe. Maybe
Speaker 1: we should buy Joe Henning. That way, why we froze
Speaker 1: when we want to tell you this, I gotta text
Speaker 1: you after the show and found out about what happened
Speaker 1: in the next team league. I am still dying to that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, all right, we'll dive back into Minnesota,
Speaker 1: um and Detroit. Frank, you like bow more than you
Speaker 1: realize now you like you don't hate Alexander Madison either,
Speaker 1: I don't. I think that he is in the RB
Speaker 1: three territory are the flex conversation as well. Uh, Detroit
Speaker 1: is still allowing a lot of receiving touchdowns to running
Speaker 1: backs recently, but they actually have been stronger against the
Speaker 1: position than they were earlier on in the season. They
Speaker 1: haven't allowed more than seventy five rushing yards to an
Speaker 1: RB over their last four games. I did mention to
Speaker 1: you yesterday, Greg what Dalvin Cook did against the Lions
Speaker 1: last time he faced them, over a hundred yards and
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. They've been a little bit better recently, but
Speaker 1: I think if they get up in this game, when
Speaker 1: they get up in this game the Minnesota Vikings, they
Speaker 1: probably put Dalvin Cook on ice. And I think Alexander
Speaker 1: Madison probably gets his you know, ten to twelve touches,
Speaker 1: maybe fourteen touches something like that, and against this defense,
Speaker 1: that should be enough for him to give you flexworthy
Speaker 1: for auction. So UM, I think that he is in
Speaker 1: that conversation. What's Adam feeling status for Sunday? He still
Speaker 1: is not practicing, so we assume he's out again. We
Speaker 1: assume that we assumed that he reaggravated his injury last
Speaker 1: last week. Last Monday, he reaggravated this injury and he's
Speaker 1: out again. Last week we were trying to figure out
Speaker 1: not nothing be though he was playing, but no one's
Speaker 1: really taking advantage outside of Kyle Rudolph. We talked before
Speaker 1: UM about some of the tight ends out there. Is
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolf, We mentioned Jason Winn's Kyle Rudolph somebody that
Speaker 1: we can go back to be scored. Obviously a bunch
Speaker 1: of touchdowns recently. There's no Adam feeling he comfortable going
Speaker 1: with Kylar Rudolph. I think that he is in that
Speaker 1: same conversation as Jason Witten. So I have Kyle Rudolf
Speaker 1: as my tight end fifteen. I have Jason Witten as
Speaker 1: my tight end sixteen. So they are you know, once
Speaker 1: you get past the the Mark Andrews Hunter Henry's everyone
Speaker 1: is basically a streamer. It's just who has the best matchup.
Speaker 1: So I have Tyler Higbie ranks very high this week.
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like ever it's going to be good
Speaker 1: to go again than Dallas Goddard, vance McDonald against the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: and then you start to get into the rest of
Speaker 1: these guys. But Kyler Rolf six touchdowns over his last
Speaker 1: six games. One of those games was against the Lions,
Speaker 1: where he once again scored a touchdown. So I think
Speaker 1: that ky Rolf is in that mix. And the same
Speaker 1: thing with Stefon Diggs. I mean, he had nine targets
Speaker 1: last week, couldn't really do much with those targets, but
Speaker 1: the last time he faced de seven receptions four a
Speaker 1: hundred and forty three yards. I think he isn't play
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver. To know, Adam Feeling, who else
Speaker 1: are they gonna throw? Totally agree. We've been saying that
Speaker 1: all year long. Um e y, I I asked you
Speaker 1: about bow I'll go ask you about Alexander Madison. I
Speaker 1: know you said, hey, down Cook is probably gonna play.
Speaker 1: He's been adamant he's playing Sunday. But from a fantasy perspective,
Speaker 1: I'm nervous about it. I haven't nervous about it. Can
Speaker 1: you start Madison? I mean, I feel like, if you're
Speaker 1: altered desperate, I have him in a league, um where
Speaker 1: I could play him. I'm not going to play him.
Speaker 1: I don't need him. It was more of a pickup
Speaker 1: just in case if Dalvin Cook goes back down. Obviously
Speaker 1: he's a good running back UH in a great screen
Speaker 1: scheme for the running backs in a team that wants
Speaker 1: to run the ball a lot um. But I think
Speaker 1: if Dalvin Cook is adamant on playing UH, he's clear
Speaker 1: to play UH and he's gonna play. So I mean,
Speaker 1: for me, I wouldn't start Madison unless you absolutely had
Speaker 1: to start him. And I actually hope that the Lions
Speaker 1: kind of keep this game close, Greg because if they can,
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins should be in play for another great game.
Speaker 1: Remember earlier on in the season, Adam Feeling called out
Speaker 1: his quarterback after that game against the Bears where they
Speaker 1: just look dreadful. Since then, he is a QB seven
Speaker 1: in Fantasy points per game, and that's exactly where I
Speaker 1: have him ranked this week. He is my QB seven.
Speaker 1: Last time he faced this Detroit Lion secondary through for
Speaker 1: three d over three hundred yards and four touchdowns. So
Speaker 1: it's a good matchup. You just need the game to
Speaker 1: remain competitive or else they're just gonna turn it over
Speaker 1: to Dalvin Cook and Alexander Madison. Absolutely Kirk Cousins in
Speaker 1: that spot against Detroit should be a good one. A
Speaker 1: lot of Stefon Diggs we expect. Let me go to
Speaker 1: my quarterback, Frank, that's my man, Matt Ryan. He's with
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. Taken on Carol lineup? What nothing? Continue? What?
Speaker 1: What was that? I don't know what was that? I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm not a Matt Ryan guy. I know you're
Speaker 1: not a matter. Where is he and your rankings this week?
Speaker 1: But let's let's pull it up for you. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna like this, Craig. That would be QB nineteen. I
Speaker 1: am very serious. Why are you doing? I am completely serious? Craig.
Speaker 1: How about this? I have a nice little stat for
Speaker 1: you please. Matt Ryan has played four games since returning
Speaker 1: from his ankle injury. He has four touchdowns and four interceptions.
Speaker 1: During that span. He has the QB twenty five and
Speaker 1: Fantasy points for game. What is what is your justification
Speaker 1: for wanting to play Matt Ryan at this point? Caroline
Speaker 1: is also a very good matchup to run the football, Greg, Like,
Speaker 1: there's that's not good? This is uh, this is the
Speaker 1: old switch roof for you. I just I don't think
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is healthy right now. Yes, if he gets
Speaker 1: back Julio Jones. He should be all right, he should
Speaker 1: be serviceable. I just I can't rank him higher than
Speaker 1: the other quarterbacks that I have ahead of him right now.
Speaker 1: It's just I like those other guys more. I mean
Speaker 1: Drew Brees at home, Yes, tough mat to up against
Speaker 1: San Francisco, but he plays so well at home. Jacobe
Speaker 1: Burcette going up against the Tampa Bay Bucks secondary, I
Speaker 1: really like that matchup for him. You know, maybe Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray is one that I can move even lower because
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh has a really good pass rush and they're gonna
Speaker 1: get after Kyler Murray. But then Ryan Fitzpatrick. I love
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick in this game against the Jets. He did really
Speaker 1: well against him last time he played. So I think
Speaker 1: that teams can just run, run, run all over the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, that they don't have to throw that much.
Speaker 1: I think DeVonta Freeman has a big game, and you know,
Speaker 1: maybe Matt Ryan puts up something just pedestrian, like to
Speaker 1: fifty and one, or you know, like something around there
Speaker 1: to fifty and two. I just don't think that there's
Speaker 1: a big upside in this game, right No upside in
Speaker 1: this one for Matt Ryan says, E y, I assume
Speaker 1: you're on my side, right, yeah? Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: If I would say I'm on on either of your side,
Speaker 1: I would probably I don't. I don't do rakings, but
Speaker 1: I would put him somewhere in the middle. Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: as you guys know, someone I was super high on
Speaker 1: in the off season. Um, that hasn't come to fruition
Speaker 1: every week. He's had ups and downs. Um, but I
Speaker 1: do feel like, uh like they're they're they're gonna push
Speaker 1: getting Hooper back for him. If that happens, will be
Speaker 1: a big deal. And obviously having Julio Jones available, we'll
Speaker 1: make our break one way or the other. If there
Speaker 1: is no Hooper, a new no Julio Jones, then who
Speaker 1: I might be looking for a different quarterback, buddy. It
Speaker 1: looks like Austin Hooper is going to play here and
Speaker 1: who and who singful. Julio has been limited, but I
Speaker 1: think he will be able to play this week. That
Speaker 1: obviously helps Matt Ryan. I just I like the spots
Speaker 1: for some of these other quarterbacks this week, the matchups
Speaker 1: that they have. Uh So I'm I'm out on Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: I think Devantay Freeman has a big game. As I mentioned,
Speaker 1: we just saw Darius Guys and Adrian Peterson combined for
Speaker 1: two eight rushing yards and three touchdowns against this Panthers defense.
Speaker 1: They've just been gashed by running backs all season long.
Speaker 1: In DeVonta Freeman's first game back, he played sixties seven
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps. I think he is a solid
Speaker 1: RB two this week, Craig a solid ORBS two in
Speaker 1: the mixes. Hudges have been there for Davante Freeman. The
Speaker 1: end zone has not been there for Demante Freeman. I
Speaker 1: agree the solid army two we'll see even get there.
Speaker 1: I guess a bad Carolina rush defense here this week.
Speaker 1: On the other side, the questions I've gotten are all
Speaker 1: about Curtis Samuel and where he stacks off in the
Speaker 1: wide receivers this week. He's obviously a deep deep target
Speaker 1: for Kyle allen Um, but he's someone that you should
Speaker 1: be relying on your fantasy playoffs for Curtis Samuel. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think Curtis Samuel is a wide receiver three. I
Speaker 1: mean that's what he has been. I think that's what
Speaker 1: he will continue to be. Obviously, you can still throw
Speaker 1: against this Atlanta Falcon secondary. And you know, while d
Speaker 1: J Moore is getting all of the attention, and rightfully so,
Speaker 1: d J. Moore has just elevated himself into wide receiver
Speaker 1: one status. Curtis Samuel has at least six targets in
Speaker 1: ten of twelve games, so the you know, the opportunity,
Speaker 1: the target share has actually been there for him. And uh,
Speaker 1: we just saw, you know, Atlanta give up some big
Speaker 1: games too wide receivers. Recently, Chris Godwin had one eighty
Speaker 1: four and two. I know it wasn't last week, but
Speaker 1: it was the last time they played the Saints. Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas had thirteen for one fifty two. So this Falcon
Speaker 1: secondary is still sketchy. I think Curtis Samuel is a
Speaker 1: wide receiver three. D J more bona fide wide receiver one.
Speaker 1: DJ More absolutely a wide receiver one here against the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. I agree with you, Samuel as the wide
Speaker 1: receiver three. And we hit another game. Frank, let me
Speaker 1: get to argue me the game of the weekend, not
Speaker 1: the game of the weekend, but definitely your top one
Speaker 1: o'clock game between Baltimore and Buffalo. This game, uh is
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Josh Allen against the Ravens. And I've asked
Speaker 1: you in regards to the quarterback, what do you do
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen's a really tough schedule. Uh. He Beforward
Speaker 1: last week in Dallas. This week he's at home against
Speaker 1: a tough Baltimore defense. Do you feel comfortable actually go
Speaker 1: toy to start e y, Do you feel comfortable playing
Speaker 1: your boy Josh Allen this week at home against Baltimore.
Speaker 1: He's been good and he's been good all year. Um,
Speaker 1: playing against the Baltimore Ravens, um is a is a
Speaker 1: weird place to be. Their defense has been pretty good. Um,
Speaker 1: the team is amazing, one of my favorite teams I watched.
Speaker 1: It's just a completely different style of Paul and I
Speaker 1: believe Lamar Jackson is going to score and that's going
Speaker 1: to forest Allan. This is gonna be uh like I
Speaker 1: feel a real feather game for him, like where you
Speaker 1: know he can say like I held my own against them.
Speaker 1: I I I I beat possibly Lamar Jackson straight up.
Speaker 1: So this is a big game. Yeah, big game for
Speaker 1: for for Josh Allen, and I would wouldn't feel comfortable
Speaker 1: starting him, but I think if he's her quarterback, you
Speaker 1: gotta just start him and hope that he produces like
Speaker 1: he has been. Baltimore is going up the fourth fewest
Speaker 1: fantasy points the quarterbacks this season. Frank. Yeah, and since
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters has joined the team, no QB has multiple
Speaker 1: touchdown passes against him. That includes Russell Wilson, Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson, Jared Golf and Jimmy Garoppolo. So some pretty
Speaker 1: potent offenses there that this secondary has held down. But
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you, y. I said this last
Speaker 1: week about Josh Allen going into that Thanksgiving game against
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I think he's matchup proof. He has seven
Speaker 1: or more fantasy points in eleven of twelve games this season.
Speaker 1: He doesn't throw for a tont of yards. Only he
Speaker 1: didn't have it was against New England at home at
Speaker 1: the end of September and he got knocked out of
Speaker 1: that game where Matt Barkley came in and he had
Speaker 1: concussion symptoms, so he didn't get to finish that. Yeah. Look,
Speaker 1: that's when you know the Patriots defense was still clicking
Speaker 1: on all cylinders. But ultimately, Josh Allen doesn't throw for
Speaker 1: a lot of yards. He doesn't throw for a lot
Speaker 1: of touchdowns, but he has a safe floor in fantasy
Speaker 1: because of what he can do with his legs. He's
Speaker 1: almost like a Lamar Jackson very much. Obviously he doesn't,
Speaker 1: you know, he's not a running back in a quarterback's
Speaker 1: body like Lamar Jackson is. You know, he doesn't move
Speaker 1: the same way, but he does take off and he
Speaker 1: does run, and he has a safe floor in fantasy
Speaker 1: because of that. So he is the QB five on
Speaker 1: the season. He is my QB twelve. He is a
Speaker 1: low and QB one for me, I would stream Tannehill
Speaker 1: and Sam Donald over him. Those are the only like
Speaker 1: streaming type quarter I would not use Fitzpatrick over Josh
Speaker 1: Allen this week. I think that the floor is still
Speaker 1: a little bit lower for Fitzpatrick. But I trust Josh
Speaker 1: Allen at this point. Right, You're trusting Allen here even
Speaker 1: in a very very tough matchup. What about the weapons
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen has. What about Devon Singletary and what
Speaker 1: about Frank Gordon, what about John Brown, Cole Beasley? You
Speaker 1: meagined you mentioned the numbers of cold Basily Yesterday's got
Speaker 1: more Fantasy points. Is either Odell Beckham has those guys.
Speaker 1: So I think that Cole Beasley is maybe just outside
Speaker 1: the wide receiver three territory, but he has been very good.
Speaker 1: I mean his usage recently at least seventy four yards
Speaker 1: or a touchdown in six of his last seven games. Uh.
Speaker 1: Baltimore is third and past defense dv Away. Obviously we
Speaker 1: highlighted how good their secondary has been. I think it's
Speaker 1: easier to throw against the slot against the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 1: They don't allow a lot of big plays, which makes
Speaker 1: John Brown more of a low end wide receiver two
Speaker 1: high end wide receiver three. I mean, the targets have
Speaker 1: just been there all year for John Brown. I don't
Speaker 1: think that you can get away from It's a revenge
Speaker 1: game for John Brown as well. I think Cole Beasley
Speaker 1: is more of a low end wide receiver three in
Speaker 1: PPR leagues. Devin Singletary, the workload has been there, the
Speaker 1: snaps have been there, um starting all your bills you
Speaker 1: can't get away for and Raheem most are just ran
Speaker 1: wild against the Ravens. So for me, Devin singles Arry
Speaker 1: is a very solid RB two right, So you're going
Speaker 1: still with your bills while going to you with the
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. Obviously we know about marketing. You know about
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Do you start Hollywood Brown this week? That's
Speaker 1: the question we gotta answer. Yeah, I think you do,
Speaker 1: because I think that the Buffalo Bills are going to
Speaker 1: score as well, and this game is going to be
Speaker 1: very interesting. I'll be watching it for sure. Uh, Buffalo Bills,
Speaker 1: saying fan from birth, Titans is my team of choice,
Speaker 1: but a piece of my soul will always be with
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Mark Andrews against the best tight end
Speaker 1: events in the league, to spot for Andrews, for e
Speaker 1: Y and Frank, I'm Greg. We'll do it all go tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We hope NFL season is now upon us so you
Speaker 1: can be going to the eighth person away one million
Speaker 1: dollars in a Fandel Draft Kings tournament. My sittinger lineups
Speaker 1: using the Daily Order dot Com DFS a lot of optimizer.
Speaker 1: If you were playing Dailey Fantasy Sports and not using
Speaker 1: Daily Order dot Com, you're doing it wrong. It's not.
Speaker 1: Now for the NFL Access with a faster optimizer, smarter
Speaker 1: DFS projections, and better results into promo code action for
Speaker 1: its head percent discount. That's promo code Action for its
Speaker 1: head percent discount Taylor dot com, where millionaires are made.
Speaker 1: What did happen? What did Here's what you missed on
Speaker 1: the bf aps. You know, one production is telling me
Speaker 1: to wear this, the other production is telling me to
Speaker 1: wear that. So you know what, Greg, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: wear a button down shirt. We go over to MSG later,
Speaker 1: I'll throw on a little jacket. We'll be all good, buddy, alright,
Speaker 1: we'll be all good. All right, So let's I know
Speaker 1: when the end of the games. Are you in the
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football and no Virginia Zaka she tore her
Speaker 1: a c L. How ab the irony in that she
Speaker 1: tore her a c L from inside injuries? Uh, it
Speaker 1: seems that she has quite the injury herself playing soccer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that she was. Yeah, so that is
Speaker 1: very unfortunate. We will not have her this week. Hopefully
Speaker 1: she'll be she'll be good to go in in the
Speaker 1: coming weeks after she has surgery. But yeah, we we
Speaker 1: asked her what her optimal recovery time was. I don't
Speaker 1: think she liked those shown. Game Wen gave her optable
Speaker 1: recovery time. She didn't like that one either it's no response. Um.
Speaker 1: In fact, you just might never join us again, Craig,
Speaker 1: at this point, it would be the first girl you
Speaker 1: shoot away. What does that mean? You know what it means?
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. What it means? All right, that's
Speaker 1: kind of some breaking news before we hit the break.
Speaker 1: James Conner, Oh, this Sunday for the Bittsburgh Steelers. He
Speaker 1: will not return at Arizona. Are you comfortably e y
Speaker 1: going back to bank Snell? Yeah? I think so. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you have Benny Snell, or
Speaker 1: you know, you were carrying Benny Snell in replace of Connor, Like,
Speaker 1: what choice do you have? It's not like, uh, you
Speaker 1: would have a bunch of other running backs that you
Speaker 1: could get. I mean snow looked, okay? Uh So I
Speaker 1: mean comfortable. I don't think would be the word to
Speaker 1: describe it. I think I would I'd feel forced to
Speaker 1: play him. I don't know if force is the right
Speaker 1: word either. You're right, you like I wouldn't feel comfortable
Speaker 1: with it. I think I would just feel fine. Like
Speaker 1: that's the word that I would say about Benny Snell
Speaker 1: as a as a low end RB two, a high
Speaker 1: end RB three flex option. You know he's not gonna
Speaker 1: do anything in the past game. He got up to
Speaker 1: a real slow start last week, Greg and I was
Speaker 1: worried we're using Janellen Samuel's early on in that game,
Speaker 1: and kath White was getting his U his five carries
Speaker 1: in the first half of that game as well. But ultimately,
Speaker 1: when when it came pushed, the show of Benny Snell
Speaker 1: ended up being the guy. He scored a touchdown. He
Speaker 1: tried his best to do a goal gold dunk. It
Speaker 1: was more like a layup and he snelled more of
Speaker 1: a well you're not allowed to Duncan anymore. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: he's a he's a heavier fellow, so I don't think
Speaker 1: that he has the the ups to to get up
Speaker 1: there to the goal post. But he did try his best.
Speaker 1: He scored a touchdown. The workload has been there for
Speaker 1: him against Arizona. I think it should be a competitive game.
Speaker 1: Actually really liked the Steelers in that game. Um So,
Speaker 1: I think he's a solid flex option, a high end
Speaker 1: flex option. Greate woud you're the star, James M. Benny
Speaker 1: Snell or the Niners guys Matt Reeder. He mostarred Devin Coleman.
Speaker 1: So that's basically where I'm up to in my ranking.
Speaker 1: So I've ranked my top twenty four and then it's
Speaker 1: just black. Everything else. It's Benny Snell, it's the forty
Speaker 1: Niners running back. So I'm currently working on that, but
Speaker 1: as of now, based on the news that we got
Speaker 1: from James Conner being out, I would prefer Benny Snell
Speaker 1: over the forty Niners. Are you? I probably agree there's
Speaker 1: too much a question when comes to Niners, at least
Speaker 1: by Snell. You know, we were again, especially gains Arizona
