1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I'm Dale Lally here

3
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: with Matt Williamson and it is time for the Fantasy

4
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Football Focus. Uh. You mentioned that we're gonna finally got

5
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: a Bears injury report, and Khalil Mack and Eddie Jackson,

6
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: who's a safety, did not practice for them today. Nor

7
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: did Damien Williams. And he's the kind of the for

8
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: the sort of the forgotten guy, but he's you know,

9
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: serves a purpose for them if they don't have Damien Williams.

10
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: Think about this, You've got Justin Fields and Khalil Herbert

11
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Two rookies against this Steve There's defense

12
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: will show you some different looks. Yeah, you can see

13
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: a missed protection or something like that too. Um. Montgomery

14
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 1: was a good player, he was an all round back

15
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: and he gets hurt. The hottest waiver wire pick up

16
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: in the world, Damian Williams, everyone goes crazy for him,

17
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: and Herbert was just better. Yeah, I mean, and I

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: think Herbert's role is gonna stay even when Montgomery comes back,

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: which could be after their by which is two weeks

20
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: from an hour or whatever. He's a very impressive player.

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: And I think we talked about him leading up to

22
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: the draft. You know, he was my favorite if they

23
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: don't get Javonte or Nausey out of Herbert in the

24
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: fifth round type guy. But he's still a rookie and

25
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: still a fifth round pick, and he's got ability. I

26
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: like him a lot much much pass protection. Did he

27
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: do it Virginia and a lot with receiver. Yeah, they

28
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: put him on routes. It's not like Virginia Texas Pro

29
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: style offense and uh Ka. Darius Tony with the thumb issue,

30
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: remained limited for Thursday. I am I don't know how

31
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: this works. I always hesitate talking about medical stuff. But

32
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: if you have a cut on your hand and you're

33
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: a wide out, I assume you just jogg and do things.

34
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: You're like, don't catch anything today. You just let it heal.

35
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: That's what he has. You got a spike. Yeah, they

36
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: can protect it. They'll put some gloves on him, But

37
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that. You know, the ball hits it in

38
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: the right spot right kind of getting out of the

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: game or it opens up, or who knows how bad

40
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: it is. You just know it's a cut. It's not

41
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: like a little booboo you put a band aid on.

42
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: It's probably worse than that. Here is Uh, the Shepherd's out.

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: The no surprise news of the week. John Ross, with

44
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: a quad injury, was added to the injury report. Has

45
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: limited another Giant and receiver hurt old Blood and guts

46
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: Ross right, but Holiday might be back, like they're the

47
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: believe that when I see right, I think Shepherd's out. Yeah,

48
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: Shepherd is definitely out. They got just I'm starting Tony though,

49
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm counting on him. I think he's who Shepherd out.

50
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean he could get targeted fifteen times when he's

51
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: been on the field. He's gotten a lot of action

52
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: this past week, not a ton but I mean he

53
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: was in out of the game because the injury too.

54
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: Uh seedee lamb. Yeah, this one worries me a little.

55
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: With an ankle injury. Did not participate in Thursday's practice. Yeah,

56
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: you start to worry a little bit about that. Yeah,

57
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: I would be cautious there. And it looks like they

58
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: got Gallop back, so they may just hold him out,

59
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: would Yeah, and Cedric Wilson's played okay, so yeah, even

60
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: showed last week. We're thinking big picture. We got this

61
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: division wrapped up a playoff game he's playing that will

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: be back. But I would sit Lamb if it's even close.

63
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: They're like ten point favorites over Denver two. I think

64
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: they got yeah. Yeah, I mean Lamb doesn't play you

65
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: picking up gallup? Yeah, if he's not already in your league.

66
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: What about Wilson? You playing him? They like him more

67
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: than I do. Not that I have a hard problem

68
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: with him. He's just not close to the top three

69
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: to me, and which one which the slot? They've been

70
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: moving them all around. Lamb's great at that a Cooper

71
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: can um. I don't think gallops much of us lot.

72
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a slash, so I think I

73
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: think I would would move it would get some because

74
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: he's the backup, so he's probably the guy they move

75
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: around a lot in practice. I'm not sure how they

76
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: use him. I think Wilson could be a sneaky guy.

77
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: It's lots better spot to be. Yeah. I thought maybe

78
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: slots not no right and just went on die arts right,

79
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: So that could be a sneaky Lit'll pick up there. Uh.

80
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday.

81
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: I think he's with the guy. Yeah, I mean he

82
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: presents problems. We've talked about the fantasy ramifications. If he's in,

83
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: they're big. I mean, it's sort of hard to judge

84
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: because he's only played a couple of games and I

85
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: forget where I was reading. Some of the game scripts

86
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: have gone X y Z, so you couldn't do you know.

87
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: The interesting thing is, I think two of his three

88
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: starts last year we're against the Falcons. Who's he right?

89
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: Who's he come back to start against this year? The

90
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Falcons with a great matchup. But I think Hills now

91
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: will start in quarterback. Yeah, I mean, but fantasy points

92
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: a game in his starts last year, but they also

93
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: had Michael Thomas. They don't have Michael Thomas. Michael Thomas.

94
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess for fantasy, it's pretty cut and

95
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: dry no matter what you're starting. Kamara, I think Hill

96
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: was a low end quarterback. One quarterback too, and nobody

97
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: else counts until we until you see who his favorite

98
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: receiver is, then maybe be open to him. Maybe he

99
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: loves Troutman and I don't know, but but he averaged

100
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: thirty three rushing yards in every game he started last year.

101
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: The other thing is he's gonna they get they get

102
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: a they get a first and goal to one, he'll's

103
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: carrying a ball into the end zone. Yeah, there's a

104
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: good chance to it. Yeah. Uh. Dante Pettis, with the

105
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: shoulder injury, did not practice for the Giants. No surprise

106
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: wider for the Giants. He mentioned the Shepherd uh Ta,

107
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: with ribs and a finger, remained limited at Thursday's practice

108
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: for Miami. Um, he's actually the guy I'm counting on.

109
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: Brady's my starter. So Houston on the on the schedule

110
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: picked up two or two. Taylor's coming back for the

111
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: for the Texans. I think that's okay. They may keep

112
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: that game. They scored I think six touchdowns with Tyrod Taylor.

113
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: They they scored seven touchdowns since remember Tyrod only played

114
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: like a quarter or a game and a half. Yeah,

115
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: yeah right, and they wanted his first his only game

116
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: he played from start to finish. I don't know if

117
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: I'm using Tyrod Taylor, but it's not bad. Yeah, No.

118
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: Two is in a good spot though. They throw a

119
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: ton and it's a bad defense. So this will be

120
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: the week you're gonna play him, and they're gonna try

121
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: to figure out who they're running back time right, talk man,

122
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: just when you thought you could use him. DeVante Parker,

123
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: with a hamstring and shoulder, was limited again on Thursday.

124
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: He's hard to count on. Boy. He looked good and

125
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: eleven targets last week at eight five yards. You're like, okay,

126
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: here we go, Davante, and now it's on the fire

127
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: up now that Boostcasecki and Waddle. If Parker's out, I

128
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: think the other two get a bump. Yeah, you just

129
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: like to offense is bad? I mean, I hate that

130
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: I'm counting on that offense. And anyway this week, Chris

131
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: Evans with the hamstring, was limited in practice for the

132
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: second straight day on Thursday for the for the Bengals,

133
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: um if he doesn't play, Sam Peter Ryan kind of

134
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: has a bit of a role. His role has grown

135
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: a little bit lately as a receiving back. Still does some.

136
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: But if it's you know, hurry up or a true

137
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,559
Speaker 1: third linebackers aren't great. No, No, Pete Ryan will play. Yeah,

138
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: maybe he's a flex. Yeah. Hixon looked good. Yeah he's

139
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: back to health. Uh. According to UH reports, Za Jones

140
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: will replace Henry Ruggs as a Raiders Z receiver he'll

141
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: be the deep guy, but he's not the fast. Yeah,

142
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: he's it's not the same. Don't don't run out and

143
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: h pick up his A Jones. Yeah, he's gonna be.

144
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: He's starting wide receiver in the league, so he has

145
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: some value. Yeah, but I still think it's Brian Edwards

146
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: who I mean Everage is more of an X. He's

147
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: more of a traditional do it all type guy. Um,

148
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: the Z is the speed, the Shan Jackson type, and

149
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: I guess is a Jones. Uh is all they got

150
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: to be, Frank, I mean, but he's not a Ruggs

151
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: clone or you know that he's not a light version

152
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: of Ruggs. Carlos High was upgraded to a full participant

153
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: on Thursday. The key is if Robinson is Robinson and

154
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: Robinson left that game early. But what I've heard has

155
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: been decent on him so far this week. Well, he

156
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: did not practice again today. Okay, so they play the Bills.

157
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they already get killed. It's a

158
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: tough matchup. But if Robinson doesn't play, he'd be going

159
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: pure volume based. You know, he's gonna get touches. You know,

160
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: it's not too bad. I don't even know who their

161
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: third guy is what they both don't play well. I

162
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: mean he was upgraded the full today, so he should

163
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: be in how'd you go? So? Um, that might be

164
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: a guy that you look at is okay, I'm crushed

165
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: right now, but by this latest buy Mgeddon Yeah, yeah, yeah,

166
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: I gotta pick somebody up on Carlos Hide's probably availably

167
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: catch three passes. Yeah, I mean it's not super sexy,

168
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: but he has good a chance to scores anybody on

169
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: that team. Jalen Reagor was limited today, so he's trending. No,

170
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: I don't think he's useful. Elijah Mitchell is expected to

171
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: practice today after being a d MP on Thursday. On

172
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: the Wednesday, he doesn't catch the ball enough, but yeah

173
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: he's I mean he's at best running back in fantasy

174
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: or something you know. Volume yeah, us on why you

175
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: can might be sure you trusted with the Ribs though,

176
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: that could be one of those things where I mean,

177
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: I don't know they we'll be buying him tomorrow and

178
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: DFS Yeah, yeah, I hear you there. That's a calf

179
00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: injury kind of or heel I should say, James and Robinson, Um,

180
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: that worries me a little bit. Yeah, they don't have

181
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: much to play for. Why rush a guy back to

182
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: again their fourteen point dogs or something. Deebo Samuel was

183
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: on a stationary bike to begin forty nine is practice

184
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: Thursday after being listed as d MP on Wednesday. They

185
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: don't know what that means. He's gonna play, though, I

186
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: would imagine that'd be a game changer for all involved

187
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: in their offense, changing for my team. I wouldn't be

188
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: super worried, though. Russell Gauge, with a groin injury, said

189
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: he will be active in Week nine against the Saints.

190
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: He didn't get a single target. I think zero for

191
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: zero for zero last week. I I don't think he's

192
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: a great player to begin with. I mean, I think

193
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: he's a third receiver. That's being right. Um, he's not

194
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: for me. I don't know. They play the Saints this week.

195
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: Do you think Pitts draws latim Yea, in which case,

196
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: then does Gauge get a little more Maybe? But I

197
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: think the pass rush is a problem. It's definitely a problem.

198
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't think Atlanta does much at all offensively this week. Yeah. Uh.

199
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: Julio Jones picked up his second consecutive limited practice on

200
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: Thursday with that. That's always something that's when you think

201
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: you're out of the woods, like I remember you saying yesterday,

202
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: Julio practice on Wednesday like that. Yeah, but it's always

203
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: limited and it's always something they have to throw a

204
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: little more. Yeah, well there's no doubt and and that's

205
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, they can talk all they want about well,

206
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: we're not going to change our offense without Well then

207
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: you're nuts. Every coach says that when you put in,

208
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: you put in a backup quarterback, whatever it may be. Well,

209
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: we're not going to change their offense. But you do

210
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: because you know the other teams watching film, and we're

211
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: not gonna tell them you're gonna change things up. They're

212
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: gonna change things up. Yeah. I know. Peterson and McNichols

213
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: were big time waiver wire pickups, and I put in

214
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: an offer for both two. I don't wouldn't feel super

215
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: comfortable starting either, and I might even start my Nickels

216
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: over Peterson. Yeah, just because the familiarity. We mentioned holiday

217
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. He was back full today. Is he

218
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: worth picking up at this point? He's been probably available

219
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues, like a ton of money,

220
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, probably couldn't get him super cheap. Dak Prescott

221
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: said it's safe to say he will be starting against

222
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: the Broncos. It wasn't safe to say last week because

223
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: he wanted to start last week. I think this week

224
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: that the whole situation I kind of find humorous because

225
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: they I think Jerry Jones is giggling to himself. We

226
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: got away with one. We got. There's no doubt. We

227
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: were kind of punting for this one, thinking big picture

228
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: and we gotta win. And that's fine. Sam Donald gunn

229
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: and he's limited practice again on Thursday. Again, that's part

230
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: of the concussion protocol, coming back from something else. He

231
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: has a shoulder as well. So yeah, I think Walker

232
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: is going to get most of the snaps. I would think.

233
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: So Belichick destroyed Donald and his jets. I don't think

234
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: it matters. So I think that's a low scoring game.

235
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: The one that matters is McCaffrey. Is he have a

236
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: chance to play? Yeah, that's the one. I haven't run

237
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: into that news yet. Yeah, some optimism. Yeah. Jarvis Landry

238
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: returned on Thursday for the Browns. He has to be

239
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: their number one, the number one he had like he

240
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: was easily the most targeted guy last week with them.

241
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: I meant to say this yesterday too, because I put

242
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: an offering for him for waivers and didn't get him.

243
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: People's Jones and Edwards were too sneaky pick up. Because

244
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: of the recent receiver news. I think People's Jones has

245
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: a chance to be maybe a wide receiver's three in

246
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: fantasy like flex if the ball more. Yeah, but he's

247
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: done some good things there he has. Yes, let't Tavis

248
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: Murray not practicing Thursday. We talked about that when yesterday

249
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: the back field well remain hard up to create fantasy

250
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: points with that kind of split. Looking at Tyson, Williams

251
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: and Freeman had been the most productive backs by ours

252
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: per carry. But enough play enough in a week. They're

253
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: hard to count on. It's just a big plate, it is,

254
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: you know. I keep going back to hopefully they created

255
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: some clarity over there by week and hardball lay down

256
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: the law like pick one, and but that doesn't help us. Yeah,

257
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: on Monday, we might all be picking up Davante Freeman,

258
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: but maybe yeah, well somebody else can pick him up

259
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: these toes. Sammy Watkins, with that hamstring, returned to practice

260
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: on Thursday as limited for the Ravens. It hurts Bateman

261
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: if you were a counting on him for much. I mean,

262
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: I would imagine they play Sammy Watkins. If he's back,

263
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: I would imagine he's got more of a Andrews and Marquis.

264
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: Other than that, you can't be super excited. Um. Christian

265
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: McCaffrey was seen riding a stationary bike as individual drills

266
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: began on the Thursday. Um, that'll probably get him a limited.

267
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: They're in a weird spot because they've traded for Gilmore

268
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: and Henderson and you could easily look at them from

269
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: the outside and say, you guys haven't beaten anybody, and

270
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: you kind of have that Denver profile of some nice

271
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: wins early in the year against junk teams. You're not

272
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: really a contender. But I bet they don't look at

273
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: themselves that way, like, I bet they want to get

274
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: McCaffrey on the field sap and aren't thinking we're not

275
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: any good. I don't know, you know what the situation

276
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: is there. I mean, this is real second year. Um,

277
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, as he feeling pressure, are they you know,

278
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: what's what's the deal here? Because they've been aggressive. They

279
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: signed him though, to like an eight year contract or

280
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: a six year I don't think they're feeling that. I

281
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: think they're worried about maybe make the wrong trade for Donald.

282
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: I think that parts concerning. And also I guess if

283
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: you look at the NFC, just about anybody like that

284
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: seven to look at you know, the remaining schedule. But yeah,

285
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean they're in it. Their defense is good. Cole

286
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: Beasley did not practice for the second consecutive day. He's

287
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: got that rib issue. Um, there's no knocks and no Beasley.

288
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: Fire up. Emmanuel Sam Yeah, but Gabriel Davis not bad.

289
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: He'll play a lot, He'll play a lot of snaps. Yeah,

290
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: I'll play every snap pretty much. One of those two

291
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: is cheap. Tomorrow ned lineup. Davante Adams was activated from

292
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: the reserve COVID list. So do you think, of course

293
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: you'd rather have Rogers in there if you're an Adam's owner,

294
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: and of course you're going to start him anyway, But

295
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: do you think they tell love when in doubt throw

296
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: it to that guy TVs makes a play, you know

297
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: what I mean? That's what I would do. Yeah, right,

298
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: if he's gonna get one on one, or even if

299
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: he's get coverage, his direction, assuming the Chiefs are putting

300
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: up points. You can't just run it over and over

301
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: and over. That might but I mean they might not

302
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: kill It might be a big assumption. If the Chiefs

303
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: are putting up points. Oh, I think I'll put up points.

304
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: You think because what they've said the last two weeks,

305
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: they've sen I don't think it's back to back games

306
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: with twenty three total points in their last two games.

307
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: Their offense is a little broken right now. You're right.

308
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a hundred percent true. The way they're

309
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: playing is bizarre. Is not chief like you know everybody

310
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: like even last week Keith Butler, We're talking to Keith

311
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: Butler and he was talking about how close games have

312
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: been in the in the in the typically they're close

313
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He said, it's not like, you know,

314
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: it's the Chiefs blow and every you know, with every

315
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: week the blowout. I'm thinking, is he talking about the

316
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs because they just got they just got seven two

317
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: three this week, like they're not that. I'm not picking

318
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: on coach Butler. And I'm sure he hasn't watched any

319
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs stuff yet. If they're not on the schedule this week,

320
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: they don't know what's going on the rest of the league.

321
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: A lot of those coaches, they're so concentrating on every

322
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, the the opponent that week, they don't know.

323
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: They just assumed, probably Schuster do kicking butt. Yeah, uh

324
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: Sae Kwon. Barkley remains on the COVID nineteen less, but

325
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: he did have a negative test today, right, so he's

326
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: trending the right direction. I mean, although he was he

327
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: didn't play last week before COVID. So some of these

328
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: guys have COVID and they have to overcome an injury

329
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: or you know, like Donald had two things. He just

330
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: get through Cushing protocol and the shoulder. You know. But

331
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: I think they were optimistic about Barkley this week. They

332
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: might win that game. And the Raiders are in a

333
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: weird spot. I think if they definitely have Barkley back,

334
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: I might pick them to win the game. I'm going

335
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: to and I put a buck or two down on

336
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: the Giants plus three. Yeah. Not, It's not bad. Um

337
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: Titan's offensive coordinator Todd Dowling said he would be doing

338
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: the offensive disservice if he jerked a wheel on their

339
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: running for run first identity without Derrick Henry. You can't

340
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: just keep the wheel going the same way. You don't

341
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: have the same guy. This isn't Adrian Peterson ten years ago.

342
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he might impress us for a game or two.

343
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: If that's true, here's what I'm taking away. If if that,

344
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: what if, And you're right, coaches are flat out liars,

345
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: that's not true. But if there's any semblance of that, Basically,

346
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: all that tells me is Ryan Tannehill has to play

347
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: a certain way and we can't go outside the box

348
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: with him, Well, then then he's very replaceable, you know,

349
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: And that's not who I think he is. They're gonna

350
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: throw the ball. Yeah. Here's here's Derrick Henry's uh rush

351
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: totals this season. What he's done from week to week

352
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: seventeen thirty five, thirty three, twenty nine. Those fancy points,

353
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: those are his Russia tempt He's had one game where

354
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: he's had less than than twenty Russia attempts. He said

355
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: he's had too only two where he's had less than

356
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: twenty eight rushing attempts. You're not gonna run, Jeremy, Jeremy right,

357
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: how many carries McNicol is gonna get He's not getting

358
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: twenty nine No, he may get twelve touches, right, I mean,

359
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: and Peterson might get maybe eighteen carries, fifteen carries and

360
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: possibly a catch, but not the same, No, not even close,

361
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: you know, if you would be nuts to do that.

362
00:19:54,240 --> 00:20:01,239
Speaker 1: He's Henry was on pace, he was ridging. He had

363
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty seven touches this year, which by

364
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: far led the league, and his numbers and usage always

365
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: goes up as the year goes on, right, he had

366
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: three three touches last year. I do think they're unbelievably

367
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: fortunate that Peterson's out there because he's so similar. But

368
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't expect him to look like a shell of

369
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: what he ever if they try to give him the

370
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: ball thirty times in the game. Cary, I understand he's

371
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: a freak. He's born a freak, yes, but he's also

372
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: a thirty five year old freak like right, And he's

373
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: been in the league on different teams now, He's had

374
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: torn a c l s, he's had all that stuff.

375
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: I mean, when was the last time he was anything

376
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: close to a pro bowler? Like, I understand he's going

377
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame or you know, but his last

378
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: five years of hanging on around the league haven't been great.

379
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: The Ravens signed every old running back that they could

380
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: get their hands on. I doubt he told them no,

381
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, I doubt that he told them though, And

382
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: they didn't sign him, and they don't throw the back,

383
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: so that wouldn't have rehibited him there. I mean, they

384
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: would take anybody they got, right, I mean, I don't

385
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: know that there's much left in the tank. Trust me.

386
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: I was not broken hearted that I didn't put enough

387
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: money in to get him in free agency, you know,

388
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: like I think people are overspending. I think Nichol is

389
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: going to catch the passes though, but he's not particularly

390
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: good either, right, No, he's not like I wish they

391
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: the he heightens, you know, I mean, at least somebody

392
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: that's a little bit proven. Adrian Peterson last year for

393
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: Detroit average thirty seven point eight yards per game. Now

394
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: that was it was three point nine yards of carry,

395
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: which okay, yeah it's not bad, but you know, they

396
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: limited his touches. He started ten games for them, He

397
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: had a hundred and fifty six rushing attempts. The thing

398
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: that would scare me as a Titans fan as well,

399
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: which is just one more snowball getting bigger rolling down

400
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: the hill. Is I really think their protection is gonna

401
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: get exposed without the way they can play with Henry.

402
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: You know, those guys are okay, but they're built run block,

403
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: They're not lightfooted. I think Tannehill is gonna be under

404
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the rest of the rest of the year.

405
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: Let's put it this way. He Adrian Peterson last season

406
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: had a hundred and sixty eight touches in Detroit. That's

407
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: his sixteen starts. I was even thinking he was in Washington.

408
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: I forgot he was a lion. Yeah, that was in

409
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: sixteen starts. That's still seventy touches less than what Derrick

410
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: Henry had in his eight games and games ten a

411
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: game or so is the most Peterson. So is McNichols

412
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: now going to get to pick up the other twenty

413
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: touches that Henry has been getting. No, I bet they

414
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: run the ball what they used to in terms of yeah, yeah,

415
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: he just you can't. It's not plugging play. No, it's

416
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: far from it. As I mentioned that Texas head coach

417
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: David Kelley said Tyrod Taylor will start against the Dolphins.

418
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: Davis Mills definitely good for the bench. Yeah, do you

419
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: have any interest in like Aikins or any of their

420
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: tight ends or I mean you're really scratch and yeah,

421
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, I mean it would be a really deep league. Um,

422
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't think that changes much for fantasy.

423
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: But I don't do think it makes him a better

424
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: football team that fewer turnovers a couple more, they'll be

425
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: more competitive. Yeah, I mean he's an experienced, solid quarterback.

426
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: Let's played a lot of Football's league. DeAndre Hopkins and

427
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray remains sideline Thursday. I guess Hopkins is too.

428
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: That's not a black brush it off in practice Wednesday

429
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: type of thing. That's just Thursday. Yeah. Now, I think

430
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: both those ones are probably game time type decisions, which

431
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: is not what you want to hear. No, if you're starting.

432
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean, those are big time fantasy studs. Absolutely. I

433
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: didn't realize Colt McCoy's the backup. I actually asked that yesterday.

434
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: I like, who's the back of it? It's called McCoy, right,

435
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: I think A. J. Green's not playing. Not that that's

436
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: a huge news. He's already out. He's already out, but

437
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: they're in a bad spot all of a sudden. Yeah,

438
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: after losing their first game, less did they lose the

439
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: second one? I forget who they got this? They played

440
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: the forty maybe yeah, right, spreading that games like one

441
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: or two. I'm looking at it thinking, wow, it's really

442
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 1: low favorite. That's why, Yeah, Vegas to me that Vegas

443
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: doesn't think Kyler's playing right, It's kind of like the

444
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: that game last week, because usually if if they would

445
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: take that off the board completely with the quarterbacks that

446
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: I want you to bite on it. Ye think that.

447
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean the Niners should be favored without Kyler. Oh yeah, right,

448
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: forget question. Um, that's what we get. We got a

449
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: game tonight, got the Colts and the Jets starting Jets. Carter, Yeah,

450
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: he'll catch eight basses. I bet I would think about

451
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: Johnson as well. I mean, you know, yeah, again it's

452
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: a bye week. I think he's over under on DraftKings

453
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: is like two and a half catches. I would go

454
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: over that. He'll catch at least three balls. Yeah. Do

455
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: you think he plays thirty five percent of snaps something

456
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: like that? Yeah? I mean Carter is the one, but

457
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: but he's not in every day. He's not nausey. No,

458
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be out there for you know, sixty plays.

459
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: It's probably yeah, and there definitely could be some garbage

460
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: time dumped downs. I think the Jets are in for

461
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: a long night. I do too. I think Taylor goes bonkers. Yeah,

462
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: their corners are bad. This is a good Pittman game. Um.

463
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: I would think they reel in wents and say, just

464
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: don't do anything. Goofy like you did last week, play

465
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: like you did earlier. I heard today about them that

466
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: Frank Reich has been calling a lot of like run

467
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: plays and Wentz has been checking out of them. Like

468
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: if I'm Frank Reich, I'm like, will you stop it?

469
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: Give the ball, give the ball to our best player.

470
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I've been screaming at Frank Reich golf season long.

471
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: I should have been screaming. It's Carson Wentz right right,

472
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: because he, like the other two weeks ago, Taylor went

473
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: the entire first half of the game, had one touch,

474
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: one touch? How does that happen? How does that happen? Right?

475
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: He's one of the best young backs in the league

476
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: who keeps getting better, and Pines had more touches than

477
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: him in that first half. H It, We've changed the

478
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks too, is they're not using the

479
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: third guy at all, which is wonderful, and Hines isn't

480
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: out there as much as he used to either. Taylor

481
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: is getting bigger and bigger. I wonder if they're doing

482
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: it on purpose, because whence is like when Hines is

483
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: on the field, when once it's like I'm gonna throw

484
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: the ball to this guy, which is appealing, but still no,

485
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean Taylor should go insane. Yeah, I'm not sure

486
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: how many backs on rank ahead of them if we

487
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: were doing like fantasy rankings for running backs as although

488
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, the Jets did do a good job against

489
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: Henry in that game overall the front Okay, it's okay, Yeah,

490
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: I just think they'll be on the field. But the

491
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: thing is that Jets give up, they hemorrhage yards in

492
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: the passing game to run a big Oh yeah, you're

493
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: right about that. I mean, they just hemorrhage. But you know,

494
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: they're they're guys. They just don't do well in that respect.

495
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: Would you consider the tight ends for Indie think about

496
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: Moaley Cox? Yeah, I think he's sco but I would

497
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,479
Speaker 1: almost bet he scores a touchdown tonight. It's funny. I'm

498
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: in a real bind with my league and right now

499
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 1: I've nothing at the tight end position at the pick

500
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: up somebody. It might be cold commeant, I mean, that's

501
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: the bad Ali Cox, he was actually in the league.

502
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, I looked like, how is this guy

503
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: in the league? Come on, man, I thought I could

504
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: pay a buck and get him and at least, you know,

505
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: maybe have fun watching something tonight. Well yeah, that's that's

506
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: the way it goes. But I would play the Colts

507
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: defense as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think White turns

508
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: into a pumpkin. Yeah, it's short week. You know, they

509
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: get some tape on you now. Yeah, Mike White dressed

510
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: up like a starting quarterback for Halloween last Sunday, and

511
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: I think he's will not throw it for four or

512
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: five yards again tonight. They're gonna make him throw downfield

513
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get hit. Yeah. I think guys like

514
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: Buckinger will have big games and you know, right, So anyways,

515
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for the show to date. So
