25
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: and former players all season long to get their thoughts

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: on fantasy football and what's going on in the league

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: that directly relates to the game that we're pretty much

28
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: all addicted to. And that said, Fabs, we got a

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: lot to get to today. People want to know who

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: to start, They want to know who to said, what

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: do they do about Arian Foster and what have you?

32
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: And I'd like to start right there in Foster Texans

33
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: lead back little news today, Yeah, basically Gary Kubiak saying

34
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: he's day to day, aren't we all, though, Elliott, So

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: this is gonna be something that people are gonna have

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: to watch out for over the next few days. Check

37
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: the injury report right now. I would say he's probably

38
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: going to start, but again, be safe, handcuff him with

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: Ben Listen. Derek Ward might be the number two back

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: on death chart, but Ben Tate was so good in

41
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the preseason I can't see how Gary Kubiak does not

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: utilize him if in fact, Foster doesn't miss the game.

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: But right now I'm looking on on the optimistic side

44
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: of things, I think Foster will play well. The thing

45
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: with Ben Tate is the upside because Derek Ward, we

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: know what he is, and honestly, we're not gonna know

47
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: who's truly second on the depth chart until somebody comes

48
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: trotting on the field. Yeah, and listen, Tate has the

49
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: most upside out of that backfield, you know, other than

50
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: Arian Foster. Derek Ward, a former thousand yard rusher. But

51
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: I really think Tate will be the guy when all

52
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: of a sudden done. But hopefully fantasy owners don't have

53
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: to worry about that. Hopefully, Arian Foster, last year's fantasy superstar,

54
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: trots out onto the field and what is a fantastic

55
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: matchup against a bad run defense and just goes off. Now,

56
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: if you're one of those last minute fantasy drafters, and

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: there's probably some people around the country that still have

58
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: a draft tonight, where are you taking Arian Foster? I

59
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: still say he's a top five pick. You know, hamstring

60
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: injuries can be a little bit tricky, But right now

61
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: it's Adrian Peterson one. I think Chris Johnson out of

62
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: the hold out, he's clearly number two. I'd probably go

63
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: Foster three. Do you want to go Ray Rice or

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles because you're a little bit worried about the hamstring?

65
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: I can see that. I still I wouldn't draft him

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: over airing Foster. I think I still think Foster's top five.

67
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson, you mentioned do you worry about a hamstring,

68
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: because because I would. When you're talking about the two

69
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: spot overall, it's okay to nitpick in my opinion. So

70
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: if you're sitting there with the second pick overall, is

71
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: it a slam dunk that you say that you take

72
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: c J? Or do you maybe hesitate and take somebody else?

73
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a slam dunk. You know. I always

74
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: say that I have my Fantasy masters, but I don't

75
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: have a masters in medicine. And you can't predict injuries.

76
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: And yes, there have been examples of players who have

77
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: held out who have gone into a season and had

78
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: a hamstring. Darrell Revis last year was a perfect example.

79
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: A few other guys like Stephen Jackson Larry Johnson, but

80
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: maybe that was more too a heavy workload than it

81
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: was to a holdout. C J is not going to

82
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: be limited this week. Mike Munchak's already said they're gonna

83
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: let him loose. Uh. And the matchup is extremely favorable

84
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville jag Ours. If you draft, I say

85
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: he goes to and I'm not saying anything anybody else

86
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: doesn't know. If Chris Johnson is on your team, start

87
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: the guy please, right. But we talked about Ben Tate

88
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: in regards to handcuffing. UH. For Arian Foster, Javon Ringer

89
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: good handcuff I think so late round. If you're in

90
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: a twelve team league or more, I think you still

91
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: grabbed Javon Ringer. If c J two ks, you lead back. Okay, Well,

92
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: obviously Arian Foster is a big story, but if we

93
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: stay in the same division, the only story that might

94
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: trump his is Peyton Manning not starting week one, Peyton

95
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: Manning not being on the Colts, just the reality aspect

96
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: that really puts in behind the eight ball, especially considering

97
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: going in a lot of people thought the Colts may

98
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: not even make the playoffs with Manning there, So now

99
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: you have no Manning. We know that's going to hurt

100
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: them in reality fantasy implications, starting with the receivers. It's

101
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: funny a couple of weeks ago, I drafted Peyton Manning

102
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: in the fifth round and I was completely dancing in

103
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: the streets thinking I just got to steal the draft.

104
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: Now I'm a little worried because you know, a couple

105
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: of weeks later, you're looking at a guy who may

106
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: be out three, four or five weeks. Again, we're not doctors.

107
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: We don't know exactly how long he's gonna be out.

108
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Maybe the doctors and Peyton Manning himself don't know how

109
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: long he's going to be out of commission. But this

110
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: has a trickle down effect. Elliott, You're looking at Carry Collins,

111
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: who is a major downgrade from a superstar like Peyton

112
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: Manning at the quarterback position. So the Colts are going

113
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: to run more ball control. They're not gonna be slinging

114
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: it all over the field. This hurts Austin Collie, this

115
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: hurts Pierre Garson. I still start Reggie Wayne. I think

116
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: Carry Collins when he's in that backfield, he's gonna be

117
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: looking to throw the football to a veteran, a reliable

118
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: guy like Reggie Wayne. I don't think it hurts Dallas Clark.

119
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: He's still going to see more than his sheriff targets

120
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: in that offense. I think it helps Joseph and Die

121
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: in the fact that they're gonna want to run the

122
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: ball a little bit more. This is not gonna be

123
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: an offense that's gonna throw the ball downfield as much.

124
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: Without Peyton Manning, Carry Collins is going to be more

125
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: of a game manager. With that said, again, Wayne Clark

126
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,559
Speaker 1: a Die, I think you start these guys, and unless

127
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: you're in a deep two quarterback league, I don't touch

128
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: Carry Collins. You know, we talked on NFL Fantasy Live

129
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: today about Reggie Wayne, and I think, no matter what,

130
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: you have to start him. I mean, there can't be

131
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: any debate there. Yeah, listen, he's likely your number one

132
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: wide receiver and there's just no way to me that

133
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: you bench this guy. He's an eleven year veteran. I

134
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: know he hasn't played a lot of football without Peyton

135
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: Mannix sling m to the football, But listen, you've got

136
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,119
Speaker 1: to stick with your studs in this case, and listen

137
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: the matchup is not exactly a bad one either. Okay,

138
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips comes in, He's not going to turn the

139
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: Houston Texas defense, which was dreadful, dreadful exactly into the

140
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: five Bears. It's not gonna happen. So you still start Wayne,

141
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: you still start Clark. You look at garsone, you look

142
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: at Collie. Collie already had the question marks with his concussions.

143
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: Do you feel like it's an absolute Sidham situation? Frost

144
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: and College, It really depends on your wide receiver depth.

145
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: If you're really hurting and he's your three, and he's

146
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: your clear three, then you probably have to roll the

147
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: dice and play him. It all depends on depth. It

148
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: all depends on what's available out there on the waiver wire,

149
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: And at this point, with Week one nearing and we

150
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: have uh the opening game tomorrow night, there's probably not

151
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of great options on the

152
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: waiver wire right now. We know Colli is one of

153
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: those guys that I think people consider a chic pick.

154
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: He's very popular coming this year. And another one is

155
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: Mike Thomas the Jaguars. But with the news that David

156
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Grard got released, now McCown and there, Luke McCown, how

157
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: do you feel about the fantasy implications there? I'll tell

158
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: you it's not like David Guard was, you know, the

159
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: the best fantasy quarterback in the world. Although we did

160
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: have a career high in total touchdowns last season. This

161
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: is a domino effect, Okay. David Gerrard to Luke McCown

162
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: is a big drop off. Luke McCown is a guy

163
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: who has seven starts in his National Football League career.

164
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: So we're going from an experienced quarterback in Gerrard, who's

165
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: played a lot of games, who's been out there in

166
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: the trenches, to a guy in Luke mccoon who has

167
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: very limited experience in a prominent role on an NFL team,

168
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: and he's been with several teams. So this is going

169
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: to hurt Maurice Jones Drew. And I know Marie Jones

170
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: Drew has a show on our channel, and I don't

171
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: think there's any way it doesn't hurt him. You still

172
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: play Marie Jones Drew. He cost you a late first

173
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: round pick, early second round pick. You still play him.

174
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: I think maybe the yardage will still be there, but

175
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: is this team gonna score as many touchdowns? Is this

176
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: team gonna be getting into the red zonus often with

177
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: Luke McCown and eventually Blame Gabbered at the quarterback position.

178
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: I think not so. Maurice Jones drew a guy again.

179
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: You have to play him, But you can't tell me

180
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: that defenses are not gonna stock the line of scrimmage

181
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: to stop the run with an offense that has Luke

182
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: McCown or Blame Gabber under center. And their top wide

183
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: receiver is Mike Thomas. And this is the guy whose

184
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: value also takes a hit too because Mike Thomas to

185
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: me with David Gardner center, they had a report. I

186
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: think he's a sleeper. Now you've got no report with

187
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: Luke McCown and you're looking at a guy who could

188
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: be a disappointment this season. Well, the Jacks are playing

189
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: the Titans, and to bring again a little reality and

190
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: do the Titans are probably gonna slip a safety in

191
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: the box. So there's eight in the box, which means

192
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: you might be able to get some players with Marcedes

193
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: Lewis downfield, especially if he's covered by a linebacker. Would

194
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: you start Marcedes Lewis? I think he's a low end

195
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: number one tight end UH in most fantasy leagues this week.

196
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: But keep in mind he's not more in ten touchdowns

197
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: this year. Guys, he was in the top five and

198
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: fantasy points at his position in a year with Dallas

199
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 1: Clark got hurt and Ja Michael finally got hurt and

200
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: down and Antonio Gates was out for six games. He's

201
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: not gonna be a top five tight end this season.

202
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: He may not be a top ten tight end this season.

203
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: Most of his points were recrued because of touchdowns. And

204
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: if you tell me that Marcedes Lewis is gonna score

205
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns again, I'm gonna be wondering what you're kind

206
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: of doing on your off time, because there's no way

207
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna score ten touchdowns. I could see him maybe

208
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: going half of that, maybe five or six tops, maybe

209
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: as a security blanker for Luke McCown. A guy who's

210
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: a big target who will still continue to see targets

211
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: in the red zone. But he is going to see

212
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: his stats drop. And if you drafted him as a

213
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: number one thinking you're gonna get the same duplication UH

214
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: in terms of production as last year. Your kiding yourself, well,

215
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: I think you know for the fantasy drafters that are

216
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: at the midnight hour right now. You mentioned Marcedes Lewis

217
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: as a a low one. I think he's a low

218
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: one in a twelve team and a correct no. I

219
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: completely agree with you. And again, you know what, people

220
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: have to look at what happened last year mar Cities Lewis.

221
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: That was the first year he was fantasy relevant. He

222
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: may have been named a sleeper in years past, never

223
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: really met expectations. And what's funny about Lewis is that

224
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: his big problem was that he never scored any touchdowns.

225
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: He had two touchdowns one year, you know, three touchdowns

226
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: the next year, whatever the case may be, and then

227
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: he blows up to ten. That's a red flag for

228
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: me this season because ten touchdowns is not gonna happen

229
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: uh in two thousand and eleven from our cities Lewis,

230
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: especially with Luke McCown under center, and especially when a

231
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: rookie is under center, And blame Gabbert because I guarantee you,

232
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: by mid season or sooner, blame Gabbert's going to be

233
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars. You know, I had

234
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: a little fantasy thought bubble heaven forbid, But staying when

235
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: the a f C South and backpedaling a little bit

236
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: back to the Titans and Chris Johnson. Jared Cook might

237
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: be a good pickup now. He's a really good sleeper.

238
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: He is an athletic freak. You know. He reminds me

239
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of Shannon Sharp, actually a big dude

240
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: who's athletic. Uh. And Jared Cook is going to be

241
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: someone to watch. I don't think he's a number one

242
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: right now, but he's definitely someone you want to keep

243
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: on your radar. Check and see how they utilize this

244
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: kid against the Jaguars this weekend, because he again has

245
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: a lot of upside, very athletic and in an offense

246
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: that I think they're gonna be able to throw the ball.

247
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: Of course, they're gonna be a run based offense. But

248
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: when you've got Kenny Britt, who I think is gonna

249
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: blow up this year, and Nate Washington stretched defenses, and

250
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: you've got a guy like Jerry Cook. And remember just

251
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: engaged Alonger in the mix there. So I really think

252
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: Jered Cook's a very deep sleeper. I'll tell you what.

253
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: Just from the that division, it's just a mess right now.

254
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: I know all the quarterbacks in that division are shot

255
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: basically except for Matt Shop. Except for Matt You've got

256
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: Kerry Collins, You've got Luke McCown who. I still don't

257
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: agree with you that Matt Ryan is a better value

258
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: than Matt Shop. I like the upside. I like the

259
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: upside with Matt Ryan. I think Matt shops hit his

260
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: ceiling already. Matt ryan ceiling has got some has got

261
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: some room for growth. There no one again to backtrack.

262
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: We talked about Peyton Manning Josepha die to me presents

263
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: a real issue for fantasy owners. You always want this

264
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: kind to be a little bit better than he is.

265
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: But you'd have to think that he's a good start

266
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: this week now I clearly do. Uh he's a two

267
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: and a very nice flex because of the matchup. Look

268
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: at the matchup. Okay, again, the Houston Texans not the

269
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: best defense in the world. Of course they're gonna improve,

270
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: you would think on our way Phillips, but they're not

271
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: going to turn into this elite run stopping defense right away.

272
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: A guy is going to see more than his share

273
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: of the workload this weekend. And guys, remember, Donald Brown

274
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: has sort of fallen out of favor in Indianapolis. It's

275
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: now Delone Carter, who is the rookie out of Syracuse

276
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: who's number two. A die is too, and I have

277
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: a die on a couple of my teams, and I'm

278
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: starting this week because again, the Colts aren't running the ball,

279
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: aren't throwing the ball as much. Without Peyton Manning, They're

280
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: gonna run it more ball control, Carry Collins is going

281
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: to manage the clock. You know you've mentioned the Texans

282
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: defense a couple of times here. Do you think they're

283
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: definitely a defense that's just gonna be sitting out there

284
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: and people aren't gonna draft. No, I don't think the

285
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Texans are gonna be drafted in most leagues. Maybe you

286
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: play them this week, carry Collins under center. If you're

287
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: in a twelve or more team league, maybe you play them.

288
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you roll the dice. But there's actually a lot

289
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: of good defenses that are on the waiver wire that

290
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: I guarantee are better plays than the Texans, but they're

291
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: worth a look in a deeper league. Well, speaking with

292
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: defense and headlines, you know it's been in the headlines

293
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: a lot, the Giants injuries and the defensive sete oh god,

294
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: It's like a mash unit. There it is. And we

295
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: know that you mean yours is gonna miss the first

296
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: two games. You gotta look, I think at Rex Grossman

297
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: this week. You know, people may say the name Rex

298
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: Grossman and sort of laugh, and maybe Rex Grossman's a joke.

299
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: This guy is a viable fantasy here. I'll tell you

300
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: right now. I'm in one league where I have Peyton

301
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: Manning Colors in my backup, and I picked up for

302
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: Rex Grossman and I'm playing him. The Giants are without

303
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: Terrell Thomas, They're out without Prince of Mukamura. Osi is out,

304
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: they just lost Jonathan go That defense a shot full

305
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: of injuries. And this was a bad past defense last year.

306
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: This was a defense that fantasy owners wanted to play

307
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: there against because the Giants just were very porous against

308
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: the past. Now you've got Rex Grossman, oh, who, by

309
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: the way, average two eighty passing yards and scored seven

310
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his three starts at the end of last year,

311
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: including a game against the Giants where he had over

312
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: threety and two touchdowns. And you're telling me that he's

313
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: not a good sleeper this week. I don't care what

314
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: his name is Rex Grossman to me is someone that

315
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: if you have Peyton Manning, especially, pick him up off

316
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: the waiver wire and play that Giants defense is really

317
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: in a lot of trouble right now. You know, you

318
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: can look at this week, but if we go one

319
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: week past, you've got the Rams playing the Giants, and

320
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: I think that Bradford, Sam Bradford might be a great

321
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: start there in Week two against the Giants defense. I mean,

322
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: I know that people think of Sam Bradford as a

323
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: QB two, but he's a good QB two in my opinion,

324
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: especially with Josh McDaniels being there, the injuries on the

325
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball for the Giants,

326
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: and you can't look at Bradford's a rookie quarterback anymore.

327
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: And Bradford is someone you're gonna play the matchups with

328
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: each week. And if we're looking at week one, I

329
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: don't love him. Against the Eagles, the Dream team, Nanda

330
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: Assima and Dominic Rogers, Camardi and just all the weapons

331
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: they have. Bradford is someone I beg Samuel. Yeah, he's

332
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: not a bad three career. I think he may be

333
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: better than the Cowboys first career, right so sani Samuel

334
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: is someone who just adds to that defense. You know

335
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: he was he was an incumbent there and they are

336
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: going to be very tough to score on. And Sam

337
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: Bradford again a guy who's a big time sleeper, a

338
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: guy with a lot of upside, especially in Josh McDaniel's offense.

339
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: In an offense where he'll throw the ball six hundred

340
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: times if he stays healthy, you play the matchups with

341
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: him this week. I don't like Bradford. You know, another

342
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: guy that we talked about mentioning Grossman starting him is

343
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: starting Matt Hasselbeck. It's not a bad idea. If you're

344
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: in a deeper league again and someone picked up Grossman

345
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire, or you're looking to replace a

346
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: Peyton manning Hasselbeck is well worth a look at. There's

347
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks like that this week, Elliott. Kyle

348
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: Orton is playing the Raiders. Okay, everyone is down on

349
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Orton, and I'm down on him to overall because listen,

350
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: he goes from Josh McDaniels throw a six hundred times

351
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: a year to John Fox, who's gonna run the ball

352
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: far more prominently, uh than he will throw it, But

353
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: look at the matchup. The Raiders not good against quarterbacks

354
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: in terms of allowing fantasy points last year, and that

355
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: was with Nandi. Now without him, that defense is hurt,

356
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: and especially that secondary, They're going to see a serious decrease,

357
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: uh in terms of what they can do defensively in

358
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: that in that secondary. So I really think Kyle Orton,

359
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: who a lot of people didn't even think would be

360
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: drafted because it was Tim Tebow's job, now a very

361
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: relevant top twelve fantasy quarterback for Week one because of

362
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: the matchup. You know, we have obviously a big game tomorrow,

363
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay hosting the New Orleans Saints. That's a huge

364
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: fantasy matchup. Aaron Rodgers versus Drew Brees. We're gonna bring

365
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: in NFL dot Com analyst Bucky Brooks in to talk

366
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: about it real quickly. Michael, I just want to get

367
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: a prediction from you, Packers Saints who wins. Who has

368
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: a bigger fantasy game? I think it's Aaron Rodgers. I

369
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: think Rogers has the better game because the Packers defense

370
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: is the elite defense. Out of those two units, do

371
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: you think the Packers win? We're talking fantasy here, we're

372
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: talking fantasy. I I think I think the Packers win,

373
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: and I think Aaron Rodgers has a good game. Well again,

374
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: coming up next, we're gonna have the very astute Bucky Brooks,

375
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: very chill Bucky Brooks. He's got a lot of opinions,

376
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: some of which I heartily disagree with, like Felix Jones.

377
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: And listen, stay with us. Bucky's gonna bring his insights.

378
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna hit the Packers Saints game up more and

379
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: some also breakout running backs. Should you maybe take a

380
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: chance on a Tim high Tower from Washington. Stay tuned.

Speaker 1: and more specifically, the Packers hosting the Saints Thursday night

388
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: should be a killer game and should be killer for

Speaker 1: fantasy purposes. We've welcomed in here Bucky brook from NFL

390
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: dot Com I'm still trying to get out of my

391
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: high school moment. Hear the music in the background. It

392
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: to go back to eleventh grade. So let me help

393
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: you that one fan haling, Okay, I'm trying, I'm trying

394
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: to go back. I'm I'm well aware. That song was

395
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: called jump, very familiar, and it stayed at number two

396
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: on the chart for seven weeks because Purple Rain was

397
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: at the top, which I know you have that movie

398
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: on DVD actually having on my DVR. You know, Little

399
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: Princes is all good, along with Sergio Mendez Live from Dinner. Yeah,

400
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: so we got a huge game. I love the UNI

401
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: matchup first of all, Saints Packers. I love that we're

402
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: opening up at lambeau Field. How do you see the

403
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: game playing out? And then how do you see the

404
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: quarterbacks as far as their numbers playing out? Very interesting

405
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: game when you look at the matchups, Uh, you know,

406
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: both teams are past first teams teams. They really like

407
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: to spread the ball around. Great play callers, play callers

408
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: who are very creative. They go for the juggler. Uh.

409
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: You see a lot of spread formations, a lot of

410
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: guys being and involved in the game plan. As far

411
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: as touches. Defensively, both defensive coordinated. Greg Williams and Dom

412
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: Capers like to bring pressure, so that also leads to

413
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: big play opportunities for the offenses. I think it's gonna

414
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: be a a terrific game to watch. I'm just really

415
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: curious to see the chess match when it gunfolds, like

416
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: how they attempt to attack the opponent. As far as

417
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees are concerned, they're huge fantasy studs.

418
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: Who do you see having the bigger name, bigger game. Rather,

419
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: if you think about it, one of the teams are

420
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna be down, which means they're gonna have to be

421
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: slinging it. And I personally, I think the Saints are

422
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: gonna be down. I think Breeze are gonna have the

423
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: bigger fantasy game. Who do you see putting up the

424
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: bigger numbers? Well, that's tough, um, guys. It's hard to

425
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: go against you with Breese uh in terms of having

426
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: a big game, because I think they probably will be

427
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: down because Green Bay is tough at home. Uh. Aaron

428
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: Rodgers likes to get them out to a good league quickly.

429
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: Sean Payton Doe uh for the Saints. They like to

430
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: throw it and Jimmy Graham has emerged Marcus Colston as

431
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: a guy lanced more. I see Drew Brees putting up

432
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: re fifty plus yards a couple of touchdowns because they're

433
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: going to air it out. They're probably getting know huddle

434
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: tempo and really just put it on Drew Brees to

435
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: win it. Well. You know, the Saints like to spread

436
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: it out. As much as everyone talks about their running game,

437
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: they're running back by committee with the rookie mark Ingram.

438
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: You still have Pierre Thomas. You're gonna bring Darren Sprawls

439
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: in on third down. You still have to deal with

440
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: the Lance Moore's of the world. Can Green Bay's nickel corner?

441
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: I love Green Bay starters at corner, but can there

442
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: nickel corner cover the saints third best receiver? You know,

443
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: it really depends on how they choose to deploy Charles Woodson.

444
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: Charles Wilson is like the X factor in the matchup,

445
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: who they determined is going to be the number one guy.

446
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: They will put him on him. Based on the way

447
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: that I saw them in pre season, I would expect

448
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: Charles Wilson actually going Jimmy Graham and then they'll take

449
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: their chances with the rest of you guys, Marcus Coast

450
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: and Lance more Devree Henderson. I think when you talk

451
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: about playing man demand coverage with Tremia, William sam Shields

452
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: is a guy that can play. Jerry Bush comes in

453
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: as the dime corner um. I think they probably feel

454
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: good about those matchups because the Saints receivers outside of

455
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: Devre Henderson are not really blazers. Robert Meatscham could be

456
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: a guy that gets significant burned this game because he

457
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: has the ability to get over the top. But when

458
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: you look at all those matchups, I mean it's really

459
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: a wild card um that will emerge in the game

460
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: and really be the guy who probably the driving force

461
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: of the offense for the Saints. A real quandary for

462
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: fantasy owners is who to start at running back if

463
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: they have either Ryan Grant or on the Saint side,

464
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: if you have Pierre Thomas. Do you see it being

465
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: a strict split carry system for both teams or do

466
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: you see a guy possibly getting twenty carries in this game.

467
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if you'll see anybody get twenty carries

468
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: in this game. Just the nature of the offenses. When

469
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: you look at Green Bay, I would expect Ryan Grant

470
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: to be the lead horse. I think he would get

471
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: the bulk of the carriers. Even though James Starks emerged

472
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, I still think it's

473
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Grant's job pretty much to lose, to really be

474
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: the driving force for the Saints. Is the back by

475
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: community thing scares me there because I still couldn't get

476
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: a good field for the rotation. As far as where

477
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: does mark Ingram fit um. They would put him out there,

478
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: sometimes on first down, sometimes in the assure you already situation,

479
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: but he didn't have a fine role. And because that

480
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: all the do Domino's kind of fault off of him. Uh.

481
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: Depending on how much mark Ingram plays really determines the

482
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: production of Pierre Thomas. Also, what they decided to do

483
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: with Darren Sprawls. I think I would still more towards

484
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packer running back matchup, more so than

485
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: in New Orleans Saints. You know, one of the tricky

486
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: parts with the Saints is, as much as you'd like

487
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: to see Ingram on the field, the toughest adjustment for

488
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: a rookie running back his pass protection. And that's something

489
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: that Pierre Thomas or even Darren Sprawls maybe better at.

490
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: Do you see that possibly taking away from the amount

491
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: of fantasy points that Ingram could get this year because

492
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: he's not on the field when they want to throw

493
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: the ball. I could see that. I could see him

494
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: not possibly being heavily involved in the passing in because

495
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: you have to figure out how to get Darren Sprowls touches,

496
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: and I think his touches will come off draws and

497
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: screens and little checkdowns in the passing. And because of that,

498
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: I would expect him be the third down back. If

499
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: he is in on early downs, I think he would

500
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: send up a signal that they're doing something to get

501
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: him the ball. Because he's not a big stock guy.

502
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: He's not a guy who's really gonna be used and

503
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: pass protection. So I think Ingram, because of that, kind

504
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: of falls to the wayside. I think he's the every

505
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: down runner, the guy that gets the bulklet carries on

506
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: the ground, and Pierre Thomas is kind of the swing

507
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: guy that feels in the gaps based on what marketing

508
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: him is capable of doing at this point in his

509
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: rickey career. So if you're a fantasy owner and you

510
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: have Ingram on your bench. Are you at least comfortable

511
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: that he's going to get the goal line carries. I

512
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: think so. I think he will score points. I think

513
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: he'll be the guy on short yardage. When I watched

514
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: him there was last couple of games UM against the Raiders,

515
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: I saw him be involved in the short yardage game,

516
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: and I think he'd be a guy that's a factor

517
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: in that mix. I want to talk to you about

518
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: some other running backs and breakout running backs. Uh, you know,

519
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: I tease Tim high Tower. I just want to talk

520
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: to you about Felix Jones. I know, I know how

521
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: much you love Felix. Listen. I know, well, first of all,

522
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 1: you state your case, know why you think Felix Jones

523
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: is a great value as far as fantasy production, and

524
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: then I'll and then i'll counter you know. I think

525
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: Felix has a chance to be a breakout guy because

526
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: he can give you points and multiple facests. I think

527
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: not only as the runner, the primary runner for the Cowboys,

528
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: also as the guy who's going to be really involved

529
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: in the passing game. When you look at what they

530
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: have outside Daz Bryant, Miles Austin Jason Witten. They will

531
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: be playing more too tight end two receiver sets. The

532
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: defense is going to take some of that away. They

533
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: want to give um them to check down and give

534
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: them the option to get Felix Jones involved. I think

535
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: he will get a lot of touches, maybe to fifteen carries,

536
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: six to seven touches in the passing game to give

537
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: the overtween touches for the game. But what about the

538
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: matchup this weekend, Bucky? I mean, you've got the Jets,

539
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: the big green defensive machine with Rex Ryan. Is Felix

540
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: Joan someone you want to start as anything more than

541
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 1: a flex this week? Again, because the Jets defense is

542
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: so stout against the run and the Cowboys defense, I

543
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: have a lot of question marks about that, and I

544
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: think that the Cowboys are gonna have to throw more

545
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: often to try to get back into this game. When

546
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: I when I look at the matchup um looking from

547
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: the Jets defense, how they probably choose to mess them up.

548
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: I think the real reevers will probably go on Daz

549
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: Bryant and Tony CARMARTI would go on Miles Austin, So

550
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: the two people who will probably carry the Cowboy's offense

551
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,479
Speaker 1: would be Felix Jones and Jason Wit And I think

552
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: Felix Jones, even if he doesn't get a lot of touches,

553
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: they will find a way to get him involved in

554
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: the screen game, get him out on the perimeter and

555
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: checked outs. He has to be a fact that they

556
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: don't want Tony Romo to get hit, So I think

557
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: he has to kind of be a guy who gives

558
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: him something to really alleviate the press that the jest

559
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: to put on him. So I can see him having

560
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: a big game from a touchstandpoint. I don't know how

561
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: many yards he will get as a runner, but I

562
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: can see him be a significant factor in the passing game.

563
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: And we referenced past protection. That's how Tony Romo got

564
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: hurt last year is because Gronkowski didn't know his assignment

565
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: and that ended up getting Romo's collar bone broken. My

566
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: only problem with Felix Jones is sometimes he runs too

567
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: patiently and sometimes he doesn't run patient enough. And I

568
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: just think it's that discernment that he lacks in his game.

569
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: But I agree with you as far as the screen game,

570
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: I think he could give you a lot of receiving yards.

571
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: He had a huge screen pass against the Giants towards

572
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: the back back in the last season. So Felix Jones

573
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: to me is an if he pick Tim Hightower, I

574
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: know you believe in him. I believe in him. What

575
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: kind of totals do you think will have yardage touchdowns

576
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: going against the Giants. He's gonna be a significant factor

577
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: in the game. Plan won the job as a feature running.

578
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: He still would probably split some carriages with Royal Hilu,

579
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: but I would expect him to get maybe eighteen to

580
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: twenty two carries. Mike Shanahan wants to run the football.

581
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: He's not going to put the onus on Rex Grossman

582
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: to get them to win. Even though we saw the

583
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: last three games when Rex started he had a couple

584
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: three hundred yard games, he threw it a lot. Mike

585
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: Shanahan really wants to grind it out. He wants to run.

586
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: And the way they looked up front, they retooled the

587
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: offensive line, Hot Tower looks like he could have a

588
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: big game. The Giants also um at a disadvantage they've

589
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: had some injuries up front. I think it really plays

590
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: well in the risk in his favor to really just

591
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: pound the ball and get hot Tower. A lot of

592
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: touches in the running game. Well, before we let you

593
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: go here, you know you're a former player and you're

594
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: a former scout. I want you to put your scout

595
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: hat on, because there's something different than you seeing Tim

596
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: high Tower than you saw in Arizona. No, he was

597
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: the same player when you look at this production. He

598
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: was the guy at average nearly five yards of carry.

599
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: Um had some big games, had a little over seven

600
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: hundred yards a season ago. For whatever reason, it didn't

601
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: work for him in Arizona. In their mind, he goes

602
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: into a nice place in Washington. One cut zone based system,

603
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: which basically tails the running back. You have one option.

604
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: Once you get to the perimeter, you get to the

605
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: deacon and hoole, you have to make a cut. Once

606
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: you make the cut, you have to get north south

607
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: and get vertical. Their goal is to eliminate the negative runs.

608
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: He really caught onto the system quickly. Had some big

609
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: runs against Indianapolis in preseason, against Baltimore in the preseason.

610
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: I think the success carries over to the regular season.

611
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: All right, Bucky Brooks, good stuff coming up next. FABS

612
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: and I are gonna look at some handcuffs. What should

613
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 1: you do about some big name running back. Should you

614
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: draft their backup if you're in a late night league

615
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: or last minute league rather, or should you start their handcuff?

616
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: And also waiver wire pickups. We talked about Rex Grossman,

617
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: we talked about Matt Hasselbeck. Are there some other guys

618
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: that you should be looking at? So stay with us

00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: M Fantasy and Michael Fabiano. We're talking about waiver wire pickups, handcuffs.

628
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: If I had to say what's the most attractive waiver

629
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: wire pickup to you, who would you say to me?

630
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: Right now? It's Rex Grossman only because of the matchup

631
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: and what Bucky said earlier. Know the Giants are just

632
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: really shot full of injuries right now. The waiver wire

633
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be a little thin, especially if you're in

634
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: a smaller league. You know you're not gonna see guys

635
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: out there. Are in a large league, I'm sorry, You're

636
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: not gonna see a lot of guys out there that

637
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: you can pick up and start at the turn of

638
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: the hat. So at this point, I think you're looking

639
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: at what happened over the weekend where handcuff may be changed.

640
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: So a Kendall Hunter is now the handcuff of Frank Gore.

641
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: Delan Carter is now the handcuffed for Joseph and die

642
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: desgy Kareem is now the handcuff for Morrige Jones drew

643
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: those kind of waiver wire pickups I think you make.

644
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: You also can make defensive picks. I'm not the type

645
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: of person who likes to draft the defense until one

646
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: of the last three rounds, ever, so I always have

647
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: to play the matchups on defense. This week I picked

648
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: up the Cardinals in six of my eight leagues because

649
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: I really like the match up against the Carolina Panthers.

650
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: Those are the kind of additions you're gonna make right

651
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: now to your roster in a week one, one game

652
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: before the season begins. Well, especially in a twelve team league.

653
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: I imagine some people spent late draft pick on Anthony

654
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: Dixon thinking that Frank Gore might get hurt. Turns out,

655
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: Anthony Dixon, he's not two on the depth chart, right exactly.

656
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: That's kind of Hunter, the rookie out of Oklahoma State

657
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: who has looked, you know, really good. So I think

658
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: this is a kid who definitely is going to get

659
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: some burn this year. Frank Gore, of course, not the

660
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: most durable back in the National Football League, so you

661
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: would think that Hunter could see a couple of games

662
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: there where he gets to start. When you talk about

663
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: Arian Foster, and we reference this a little while ago,

664
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: Bent Tate versus Derek Forard, you know, it's really hard

665
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: to judge who truly is second on the depth chart

666
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: until we see them play. But Ben Tate, you saw

667
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: him in the preseason. The kid looks explosive. I mean,

668
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: if Arian Foster gets silent, you know how hand hamstring

669
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: injuries are they linger, Ben Take could have some big games.

670
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: You know what Michael Lombardi here at the NFL Network

671
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: said last year before Take got hurt, that he thought

672
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: Ben take could be the rookie of the year. He's

673
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: that talented, a kid out of Auburn who showed some

674
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: flashes of brilliance in the preseason. And again, you know

675
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: Arian Foster, the number one guy in fantasy last year,

676
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: dealing with the hamstring injury. Looks like he's gonna play

677
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: right now, although we don't know a pent for sure.

678
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak is calling him day to day. I think

679
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: Tate gets more burned than Derek Ward in a worst

680
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: case scenario where Arian Foster misses him time. How about

681
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: Delon Carter. He's really moved up the dead chart quickly,

682
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: and that's surprising to me because Donald Brown was a

683
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: first round pick, a prominent guy. But listen, Donald Brown

684
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: has not done much at the NFL level. Seems like

685
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: the Colts are ready to give up on him. Joseph

686
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: Dies the guy, and I think Joseph and Die could

687
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: be a sneaky start this week, especially based on the matchup.

688
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: But Delone Carter someone to watch out for, someone that's

689
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: clearly available on the waiver wire. His name could pop

690
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: up during the season. Again, a die, just like Frank Gore,

691
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: not the most durable running back in the league, and

692
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: Frank Gore hasn't really proven to be a guy that

693
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: can go sixteen games. And really I looked at the

694
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson and Frank Gore holdout situation differently because Frank

695
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: Gore has taken a beating Chris Johnson has not. So

696
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: regarding Javon Ringer versus Frank Gore's you know, handcuff, which

697
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: is Kendall Hunter, I think Kendall Hunter is definitely the

698
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: better choice because Chris Johnson is probably gonna play all

699
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: sixteen games, you would hope, so if you're a fantasy owner,

700
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: especially if you you're drafting him second overall. Again, we

701
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: talked about how hamstring injuries can come up with guys

702
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: who hold out. Chris Johnson has never been a guy

703
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: who is laughter ability. He's not brittle, and there has

704
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: been nothing but positive reports about c J two K

705
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: ever since he's ended his holdout. Well, you feel like

706
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: taking some calls, I think we should take. I'm ready, man,

707
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: because I just heard that we have Corey from Texas

708
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: on the line. He wants to know which wide receiver

709
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: to start. Corey, You're there, Corey from Texas going once,

710
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: going once? I guess we don't have Corey from Texas

711
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: on there? Do we have Mike in Virginia with the

712
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: question Mike like you with us? How you doing a good?

713
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: Great show? Guys? Go ahead, got a flex question for you,

714
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: UM twelve ten PCR two running backs, three wide receivers,

715
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: one tight end and then the what we had a

716
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: flex and it could be any of those three. I've

717
00:32:54,800 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: got Forta Turner, Fitzgerald, Wallace, Lloyd and Graham to for

718
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: then all his starters. My top three options full reflex, Burlson,

719
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: Talbert and Mcgahey, who do you like? I'm going Talbert there?

720
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: Me too, And I think I'm going Talbert there. You know.

721
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: The Vikings run defense again, uh, normally very stout, but

722
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: Williams has been suspended, so the middle of that line

723
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: is going to be affected clearly. And as much as

724
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: I liked Ryan Matthews last year in the preseason and

725
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: he fell right on his face, I think Talbert is

726
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: going to see just as many touches in a lot

727
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: of these games as Ryan Matthews. He's going to be

728
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: the guy that they bring in on passing downs. He's

729
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: also gonna see short yardage work. I really think Talbert

730
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: out of those three players, uh, is the guy to

731
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: start at that flex position. Well, Talbert is gonna be

732
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: playing in goal on I don't see Ryan Matthews getting

733
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: a lot of goal line play. And I think Talbert,

734
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: even if he runs for twelve yards, if he gets

735
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,239
Speaker 1: you two touchdowns there you go, that's thirteen points. So

736
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: I think that Talbert. It's it's one of those running

737
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: back by committee situa ations, And I know it's annoying

738
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: for just about every fantasy fan there is, but that's

739
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: the state of the NFL these days, and it's not

740
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: gonna change. And I don't see Ryan Matthews becoming that

741
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five year all you know, all purpose

742
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: yards per game guy at any point in the season FEPS. Yeah,

743
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: And I really think that maybe the Chargers thought Matthews

744
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: is a little bit better than he was drafted him

745
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: in the first round, moving up to draft him in

746
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: the first round. Uh. Last year, I think we all did. Yeah, listen,

747
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: I was on the bandwagon to you look at the

748
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: specifics he was in North Turner's offense. North Turner has

749
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: helped some of the best running backs in the league

750
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: put up great numbers and some of the most average

751
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: running backs in the league put up good numbers. Lamont, Jordan's,

752
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: Ricky Williams, Frank Gore, the Great Emmitt Smith, all North

753
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: Turner guys at some point in their careers. Lamont and

754
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: Jordan had his best fantasy season under north Turner. So

755
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: did Ricky Williams. It was right Ladanian Thomason was gone

756
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 1: and Mike Tilbert was really not on the fantasy radar.

757
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: Maybe he was a blit, but he wasn't really on

758
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: the fantasy radar. He came in and played better than

759
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: Ryan matt Use, who was injured for most of last year,

760
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: had the ankle uh. And this is a guy who

761
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: missed a little bit of time during training camp in

762
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: the preseason with a few bumps and bruises. I need

763
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: to see that he's gonna stay, be more durable, be

764
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 1: more productive, and I really do not see him emerging

765
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: as a true feature back. Well. Andre in Ohio is

766
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: asking about Daniel Thomas on the waiver wire. Andrea, you

767
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: with us, Yes, I'm here, So Daniel Thomas, you're wondering

768
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: if you should pick him up. Correct, that's a good one.

769
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: I lastly, I'm not drinking the Daniel Thomas kool aid.

770
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: I saw him play in the preseason. He did not

771
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: look explosive to me. He didn't always look like he

772
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: knew where he was going. That's my opinion. Fabts. Do

773
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: you pick him up on the waiverward this week? If

774
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: we if we still have Andrea on the line, who

775
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: would you drop to pick up Daniel Thomas? Uh? Kind

776
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: of my backup where receivers aren't that good? I got

777
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: Roy Williams and I got Joshua Cribs out of um. Yeah. Now,

778
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: unless your league gives your report uh points for turn

779
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns, I'm dropping dropping Cribs and I'm picking

780
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: up Daniel Thomas. Listen, Reggie Bush is not gonna stay

781
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: healthy all year, guys. This is a player who has

782
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: missed sixteen games in the last three years because he

783
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: can't stay healthy. Maybe playing on grass is gonna help

784
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: him stay a little bit healthier. I don't buy it.

785
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Dolphins sea and Reggie Bush

786
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: as this featured back. He's not gonna be Gail Sayers.

787
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: He was a disappointment coming out of college. He did

788
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: not play up to his skills and abilities. He became

789
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: a third down back, a guy you using passing situations,

790
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: and he can't stay healthy. If he can't stay healthy

791
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: averaging six carries a game over the last three years,

792
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: the Dolphins really think he's gonna stay healthy in a

793
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: featured role in this offense, It's not gonna happen. He

794
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: doesn't run hard between the tackles. This is not someone

795
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: to lean on in fantasy land. And when Reggie Bush

796
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: goes down, and I'm telling you he's gonna go down

797
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: at some point, Elliott, Daniel Thomas comes in and picks

798
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,439
Speaker 1: up the pieces. I don't care that he hadn't looked

799
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: good in the preseason. I don't care that he hadn't

800
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: looked good in training camp. When Reggie Bush goes down,

801
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: they're not going Alex Hilliard. They're going to Daniel Thomas.

802
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: And it doesn't take a lot to put up some

803
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: good fantasy production at the running back position. Sam Cott

804
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: got taught us that several years ago. I think Daniel

805
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: Thomas is someone you have on your roster. You stash him,

806
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: you wait and see what happens. Don't you want to

807
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: see who else is out there on the waiver wire, though?

808
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: I just Daniel Thomas hasn't shown me anything. Roy Haler

809
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: showed me a lot more than he did, and I

810
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: think if you have a guy like that sitting on

811
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, you take a chance on him in

812
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: case they want to split carries with high Tower. I

813
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: just don't see Thomas doing that much, at least not

814
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 1: in the first half of the schedule. Wait until Reggie

815
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: Bush gets hurt. Listen, I agree with you there. I'm

816
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: saying it like it's gonna be reality, because I think

817
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be reality. He never stays healthy. Ever. He

818
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: hasn't played a full sixteen games since he was a rookie,

819
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: and that was not in a featured role. That was

820
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: in a role where he is the second or third

821
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: option in the in in the run game. Again, as

822
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: a guy who's coming in on passing downs, He's gonna

823
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: catch you a lot of passes. But he just can't

824
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: stay healthy. And until he proves to me that he

825
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: is not that old, brittle problem that he's had over

826
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: his career, I'm not gonna have any faith in him

827
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: when I play him as a flex this week. Absolutely,

828
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: until he goes down at some point in the season,

829
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: Daniel Thomas is gonna come in and Daniel Thomas is

830
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance to prove that he could be

831
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: the bill out for the Dolphins and not bush Well

832
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: Mike and Lewisville is actually gonna talk to us about

833
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: somebody a little bit better than Daniel Thomas Atlice. In

834
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: my mind pretty sure yours as well. Beanie Wells of

835
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, mikey there, I'm here, Um Ligaman is the

836
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 1: fourteen teen PPR. And I had like the thirteenth pick,

837
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: so by the time it came to me, I just

838
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: went for stud wide receivers and I ended up getting

839
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: Beanie Wells and like the fifth round. I mean, he's

840
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: the best running back I got. I have Roy Halo

841
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: on the bench. Um, I got the guy to back

842
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: up in San Francisco there, And you know, I think

843
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: I have Gates as my tight end. I thought about

844
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: about baby packaging him and trying to get a better

845
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: running back, but you know, some people seem to think

846
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: Wells may have a decent year. So I've got Fitz

847
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: Jerry Old, Roddy White and Mike Williams. We can go

848
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: with two our receivers and a running back in the flex.

849
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: And I don't mind to go with the three wide receivers.

850
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: So you just get to want to get your opinion

851
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: on what you think about Beanie Wells this year. I

852
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: gotta stay right there. Beanie Wells in the fifth round

853
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: sounds like a pretty good value to me. Beanie Wells

854
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: is a clear breakout candidate. He's not a number one

855
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: fantasy running back though, and I think that's your problem.

856
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: Really great start this week, especially based on the matchup

857
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: against the Panthers, who couldn't stop anybody in the run

858
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: last year. I would try and make a trade. I

859
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: can't see your whole roster in front of you. Use

860
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,479
Speaker 1: your depth. It looks like you have depth and wide

861
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 1: receiver put together a package that gets you a better

862
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: running back. Maybe you have two number two's. I see

863
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: Beanie Wells as a number two. Maybe you acquire another

864
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: number two running back in a potential trade. I like

865
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: to have overall roster depth and balance. That to me

866
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: is what I do. I don't go after one position

867
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: more than another, in particular in terms of sheer numbers.

868
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: I always end up with a couple of quarterbacks, five

869
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: running backs, five wide receivers, one or two tight ends,

870
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: a kicker in the defense, and I like to have

871
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: that overall balance. If you don't have that balance, I mean,

872
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: Royal loo is gonna be your number two, and you

873
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: can't use him as a number two at this point

874
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: in time because Tim hi Tower clearly the guy there

875
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: for the Washington Redskins. I try to make a trade.

876
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: I really do utilize depth. Maybe you don't have to

877
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: make a trade right now. He's definitely weight wide receiver.

878
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: Right Wait until maybe the first week of the season.

879
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: See if there's any injuries that happened, maybe somebody gets desperate.

880
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: Check that out, see what happens. I wouldn't make a

881
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: trade right away unless you get one of those godfather

882
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: deals that you just you know can't turn down. Well,

883
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: we appreciate the phone calls as always been. Coming up next,

884
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna gad up to the Northwest and talk a

885
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: little Seattle Seahawks football, specifically quarterback and Pete Carroll has

886
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: a lot more confidence in a certain someone than either

887
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: FABS or I do. But stay with us. We're gonna

888
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: talk T Jacks and we're also gonna have Warren sap Onto,

889
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,479
Speaker 1: the big man who beat me in a fantasy league

890
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: last year for the championship, and I guarantee SAP is

891
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: gonna get all over me on that. He won't let

892
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: that die. I mean I saw him in the hallway.

893
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: He won't not until I beat him. This year. Chances

894
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: SAP goes back to back. No none, no way, none,

895
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: no way. All right, we're gonna talk a little sea

Speaker 1: pretty impressive. You came in said that while playing the

905
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 1: air drums to queens Rych. That was that was good man.

906
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm pressed right there. Listen, man, when you talk Queen's

907
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: Reich or warrant, you're right in my mullet days. Dude,

908
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: I love it. Are you kidding me? Let me tell

909
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: you something. I shed a two when Jennie Lane passed away.

910
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to tell all of our listeners that

911
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: I had an eighty nine mits of BC Mighty Max. Okay,

912
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 1: that based all right? It based I listened to Dowkin.

913

914
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: you kid. I still listen to it. You know, I've

915
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 1: been wondering if Pete Carroll has gone to a few

916
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: too many Docking concerts lately, because he's got a lot

917
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 1: more confidence and Raris Jackson than we do now. Granted,

918
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm not a big passion of the Hearst guy either,

919
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: but your thoughts on t Jacks My thoughts on the

920
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: Seahawks are are not very positive. I'm not gonna make

921
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: a lot of fans in Seattle at this point. I

922
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: just don't see that team having a lot of fantasy value.

923
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: Taviars Jackson was a mediocre quarterback at best. When he

924
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: had the opportunity in Minnesota, they didn't want him to

925
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: be their guy. They brought in Brett Farve, who was

926
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: forty years old at the time and five came in

927
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: and played extremely well. Put Jackson back on the back burner.

928
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: Now he's in Seattle. He's the number one guy in

929
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: an offense. To me, that's not gonna score a lot

930
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: of points. And I understand they brought in Sydney Rice,

931
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: but let's look at the some of the wide receivers

932
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,720
Speaker 1: who've went from another team to Seattle, Nate Burlison, Dion Brandt,

933
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: t J. Hush, Benzata. Should I say the Great Northwest

934
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: is the Bermuda Triangle for Fantasy wide receivers. What's funny, Harrison,

935
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: is that when Branch left, he was good again. He

936
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: went from being good in New England and he sucked

937
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: at Seattle, and he went back to New England was

938
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: good again. I don't know what it's going on, maybe

939
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: the air in there. I have no idea what happens,

940
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: but I think Sidney Rice is a huge bust this year.

941
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: Marshaw and Lynch last year. Outside of that one big

942
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: run he made against the Saints, which is going to

943
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: go down in history as one of the best runs

944
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: of all time, he wasn't a good Fantasy contributor. Talk

945
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: to me about Zach Miller. I would have preferred he

946
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: stayed in Ogland. I just don't see a lot of

947
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: value in Yeah, tavrs Jackson is leading that offense, and

948
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: to me, it's leading the value of the fantasy players

949
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 1: right down the toilet. So in a two receiver league,

950
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: would you flex Sidney Rice? I don't want anything to

951
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: do with Sydney Rice. I didn't draft him in any

952
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: of my league's right now. I see him as no

953
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: more than a three maybe a flex starter in a

954
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: PPR league. I just don't have a lot of faith

955
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: in him. The guy's brittle. Here's a stat for you.

956
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: In twenty career games where Brett Farve was in his

957
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: quarterback he averaged two point nine receptions a game. I

958
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: don't want my flex guy there. Let's take a call.

959
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: We got Eric in Texas on the line. Eric, Yeah,

960
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: what's your question. I've got a trade. Okay, he's he's

961
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: willing to give me Jamal Charles if I give up

962
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: Felix Jones and Greg Jennings. Um. And he also says

963
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: I can have somebody from his bench. I chose Darren Sprawls.

964
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: Is this a PPR league? It is not. This is

965
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: a standard league. And you're giving up Felix Jones and

966
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: Greg Jennings. What happens? Are you getting Felix Jones and

967
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: Jennings and you're giving up Felix Jones and Jennings. I'm

968
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: giving Jones and Jennings. And what does that do to

969
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: your wide receiver depth? Um, I've got um oh, Kenny

970
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: Britt and Austin Collie along with I think, uh, Lee

971
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: and Evans don't want to say. You know what I mean,

972
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: you're hurting yourself at wide receiver badly. You know, with

973
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: his trade, I wouldn't do as much as I like

974
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles, I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it.

975
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: Darren Sprowls in a non PPR league is not not

976
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: very worthwhile. And Lee and Evans are the same guy. Yeah, exactly,

977
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: they are the same guy. So I'd stand pat. I mean,

978
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: you're really hurting yourself at wide receiver there. You know,

979
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: it's a that's a that's a tough choice too, because

980
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles is such uh not only a good player,

981
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: but obviously his fantasy impact is huge. He's gonna be

982
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: a top five pick and pretty much everyone's draft will

983
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: most of the drafts across the country have already taken place.

984
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: But I have to agree with you, he'd really be

985
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: putting himself on the eight ball wide receiver, and it's

986
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: tough to trade a guy as solid as Jamal Charles Well.

987
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we're gonna have Warren Sap, the legendary

988
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,240
