1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Wow Wow, Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, November seventh, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your Man, MG.

3
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: Marcus Grant joined by Michael F. Florio. Got a fun

4
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: one for you today, folks. Are pal matt Ocado will

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: drop by with his top waiver wire targets for the week.

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: But first play a little game of who'd you rather?

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: This is the ros rest of schedule edition of this,

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: so I got five different scenarios here, So let's start

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: c J Stroud or Sam Howe? Who would you rather?

10
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: CJ Stroud? I like him both. I want they're both

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: quarterbacks I would want on my roster. But I just

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 3: think that the upside is too high with CJ.

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: Stroud. He's still just a rookie.

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: Who's playing this well and coming into his own I

15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 3: also really like the pieces around him in the passing attack.

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: I like the pieces around him in the passing attack.

17
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: I like the fact one that he's not turning the ball,

18
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: just three turnovers all year, one interception, a couple of fumbles,

19
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: that's it. On top of it, I like the schedule

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: the rest of the way. You look at their schedule

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: down the stretch. They played the Titans twice in the

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: fantasy playoffs, including in championship Week. Meanwhile, you look at

23
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: Howell's playoff schedule. He finishes Week sixteen and seventeen at

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: the Jets and then at home to the forty nine ers.

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: That is not really what you want in a fantasy

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 2: playoff situation. So give me CJ. Stroud there, Rashad White

27
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: or Ramandre Stevenson, who had a big game on Sunday.

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: I'm still not high on Stevenson to a degree, Like

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 3: I think he's he's better than what he has been

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 3: so far, and they're finally starting to throw him the

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: ball more. But I'll still go with Rashad White. I

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: just think their offense is a little bit more firepower

33
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: to it. They're throwing the ball to him more than

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: they are to Stevenson. And it's crazy to say Baker

35
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: Mayfield is out performing anything that the Patriots have at

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 3: the quarterback position right now, but.

37
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is. I mean, really is what the case is.

38
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: And I said this a few weeks ago because White

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: at the time was getting fewer carries but getting more targets.

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: That gives him more value there. And I think because

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: there are more weapons there in Tampa, you don't you

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 2: can't focus on Rashad White. Meanwhile, if you're playing the Patriots,

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: you can do a lot to try to take away

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: Remondre Stevenson because you're not worried that the pass catchers

45
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: there are going to beat you quite as much. If

46
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: you were playing Tampa, you have to pay attention to

47
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: Mike Evans into Chris Godwin, and that opened some things

48
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: up for Rashad White, So I think I would take

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: him the rest of the way.

50
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: Patriots had a fourth down pass play like it was

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: like fourth and six or something like that, and it

52
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: was a designed pass play to Remindra Stevenson. That's just

53
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: how bad the rest of the pass catchers are.

54
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: There's where it is right now. Christian Kirk or T Higgins,

55
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: who's caught fire lately.

56
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I've been all over the like,

57
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: get T Higgins while you can thing, but I'm gonna

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: go with Christian Kirk here. Both are talented wide receiver twos.

59
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: But the difference is Kirk is the top target for

60
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: his offense, whereas T. Higgins is number two behind Jamar Chase.

61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 3: I like the offense and the quarterback more for T Higgins,

62
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: but the volume and the production just feels a lot

63
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: safer from Christian Kirk.

64
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: I it's funny because I was really gonna go with

65
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 2: T Higgins here, and I think I gotta go Christian

66
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: Kirk as well. I just think the Bengals are much

67
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: more explosive. But again, this is sort of a thing

68
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: where I looked at the playoffs schedules here and it's

69
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: not nearly as nice for Cincinnati, where they finish at

70
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and at Kansas City in Championship week, and the

71
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: Chiefs have shown they can shut down people. I mean,

72
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: they did a pretty good number on the Dolphins for

73
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: the better part of that game in Frankfurt last week.

74
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: So maybe I leaned slightly toward Christian Kirk, but this

75
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: one was maybe the closest of all of them for me.

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: Rashi Rice or Josh Downs.

77
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: Oh maybe this is a little bit of a recentcy

78
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: bias because Josh Downs has been awesome and I know

79
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: he got hurt early in yesterday's game, but I'm I'm

80
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: going to go with Rashid Rice one. The Colts have

81
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: a tough schedule, like you said, like down the stretch,

82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: I'll face a lot of good secondaries, but I just

83
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: one of these guys is catching passes from Gardner Minshew

84
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: and the other Patrick Mahomes. Like, to me, that is

85
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: enough just to go with receiver Rice. And I know

86
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: he had a down game in Germany yesterday, but he

87
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 3: did lead that team in snaps. He's been running more routes,

88
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: at least at the receiver positions, so I still think

89
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 3: the upside is too hot to get away from Rice.

90
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Downs here just because right now

91
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: that that passing game in Indianapolis is fairly narrowly funneled.

92
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: It's Michael Pittman, it's Josh Downs and Alec Pierce maybe

93
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,559
Speaker 2: getting some sprinkled in there as well, but it's mostly

94
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: those two wide receivers that are getting a lot of work.

95
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: And yes, the quarterback situation very much favors Rashi Rice,

96
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. But I think I'm gonna

97
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: go with Downs. He's not maybe a downfield guy, but

98
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: he's really good after the catch. Hopefully whatever happened is

99
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: not serious and he can be back out on the

100
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: field soon, because he's been very, very good for the

101
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: last few weeks. Last one couple of young tight ends,

102
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: Trey McBride or Dalton Kinkaid.

103
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 3: Is this really a question? I mean, I figured I

104
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: would just throw it out there just to see, Look,

105
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: two young tight ends that I love. But it's Dalton

106
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: Kinkaid all day. And this isn't just me putting up. Look,

107
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: I wore black today because the Bill season is over.

108
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: But this isn't me going as a homer here. Dal

109
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: Kinkaid is in. This is coming off of arguably the

110
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 3: best three games stretch by a rookie tight end in

111
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 3: NFL history since the nineteen seventy merger. He's tied the

112
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: rookie tight end record for most catches in a three

113
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: game span with twenty three, and he also is the

114
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: first second rookie ever in that span to have three

115
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: consecutive games with at least five catches in at least

116
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 3: fifty yards. Plus he's getting used in the Reds on

117
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of scoring touchdowns. It is dal Kin

118
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 3: Kate for me.

119
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, I'm gonna go Dalton Kinka just again. You know,

120
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: i'd say the quarterback situation, but you know they're getting

121
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray back there in Arizona. So that closes the

122
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 2: gap in terms of the quarterback situation. But I still

123
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: believe the Bills offense is better. It hasn't shown it

124
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: consistently this year, but the pieces around them are better,

125
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: and I gotta believe at some point they're gonna get

126
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: this thing clicking and start to explode. Plus, I was

127
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: really big on Kinkaid coming into the year. Having Dawson

128
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: Knox out of the picture for a while sort of

129
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: open some things up. So I'm gonna give Kinkaid the

130
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: nod over Trey McBride. All Right, we're gonna take a

131
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 2: quick breather come back. We're gonna dive into the waiver

132
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: wire because we're all needing help with so many injuries,

133
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: especially at the tight end position. So Mattocado stop by

134
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: with some guys you might want to target this week.

135
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Let's get

136
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: some of the top waiver wire targets for the week,

137
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: because goodness knows we all need them. Our pal matt

138
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 2: Ocatta has put together his list for Week ten quarterbacks.

139
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray, who very well could come back and play

140
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: this week against Atlanta, Baker Mayfield, Derek Carr, Will Levis,

141
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: he of the eating entire bananas, peel and all, but

142
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: he has played some good football right now. Nonetheless running

143
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: backs Jalen Warren, Chewba Hubbard, Tyler al Jeer who is

144
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: not going away, Royce Freeman, a guy who can stash

145
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: with the Rams on to buy this week. Keaton Mitchell,

146
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: who's going to be very, very popular. Keddth gain Well,

147
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: also another stash option with the Eagles on a bye

148
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: looking over to the pass catchers for the week, he

149
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: got Take Dell of course, Quentin Johnston of course, Di

150
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: Mario Douglas, Rashid Shaheed who is doing a lot of

151
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: good things in New Orleans, Khalil Shakir getting more opportunities

152
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: in Buffalo and a tight end. Trey McBride. Go get

153
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: Trey McBride if he's still out there. Taysom Hill. I

154
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: know Matt Okata is a big Taysom Hill supporter, but

155
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: he's also doing a lot of good things on the

156
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: football field. Kate and John new Smith because Arthur Smith

157
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: hates us and Jake Ferguson. Now we can welcome in

158
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: our friend Matt o'catta, who puts together this list. You

159
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: can check it out every single week at nfl dot

160
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: com slash waiver Wire, So Matt four teams ought to

161
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: buy this week, the Chiefs, the Rams, the Dolphins, and

162
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: the Eagles. That means a lot of top level quarterbacks

163
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: are going to be missing this week. So I guess

164
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: it makes sense that Baker Mayfield's near the top of

165
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: your target list.

166
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's not even counting all the top end

167
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 4: or mid level quarterbacks we've lost to injury recently. It

168
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: is a waste land out there, but Baker's playing really

169
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 4: solid football and he did it again on Sunday was

170
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,679
Speaker 4: a solid stream for Fantasy nineteen points against the Texans,

171
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: two hundred and sixty five yards and two scores. He

172
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: has now thrown for two hundred and thirty plus and

173
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: multiple tds in three of his last five games, and

174
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: his only dud over that span was against the Lions defense,

175
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: who we know are very good. And even including that

176
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: down game, he's averaging more than seventeen Fantasy points per

177
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 4: game since Week four. He doesn't have much of a ceiling.

178
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: We haven't seen him score more than twenty two this year,

179
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: but in this landscape, quarterback we cannot be We are

180
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: beggars and we can't be choosers, so he's putting up

181
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: consistent low end QB one numbers. I think he's a

182
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 4: great guy to have as like half of a streamer committee,

183
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 4: and he's definitely worth streaming next week against a beatable

184
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: Titan secondary.

185
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: I agree with you on that one. Okada and Tyler

186
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: Rel's year. He has been known to fantasy managers this year,

187
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: mostly for not being Bijon Robinson. But do you think

188
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: that needs to change now? Right?

189
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 4: Well, let's be clear. I don't think it needs to change.

190
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 4: I think Arthur needs to change, but Arthur's not changing,

191
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 4: so yes, it needs to change, like it or not.

192
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 4: Arthur Smith is dead set on using Algier early, often

193
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 4: in crucial situations, aka at the goal line, all to

194
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 4: the detriment of Bjon Robinson and his fantasy managers. Now

195
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 4: it's worth noting they did lose last week, and they

196
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: lost perhaps largely because Arthur Smith refused to give Bjon

197
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 4: touches at the goal line on like a full series

198
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 4: of goal to go plays. But for now, this is

199
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 4: what we know. Algier out touched Bijon last week, the

200
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 4: outscoredman's fantasy. We have to roll him out there. The

201
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 4: Falcons are committed to this committee, and while both players

202
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 4: would be better if they weren't splitting time with the other,

203
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: we have to roll at least one of them, maybe

204
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: both of them out, depending on the matchup. This next

205
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: week they played the Cardinals. That's about as good of

206
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 4: a mashup as you can get. They have a lot

207
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 4: of one hundred and twenty nine yards and twelve touchdowns

208
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 4: on the ground to anybody, and that includes the Tyler

209
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 4: Algiers and the Bejon Robinson's. So roll them both out there,

210
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: and by the way, probably Fantasy's top handcuff right now,

211
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 4: because knock on wood, if anything happens to Beijon, he

212
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 4: would be the number one and be running away with Fantasy.

213
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: I'm telling you all right now. I mentioned this in

214
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: our slack channel that I'm putting Tyler Algier in the

215
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: sleeper's column this week because at some point you just

216
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: got to lean into it. And to your point, though

217
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: that Arthur Smith has shaved his mustache, so he is

218
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: capable of change in some form. Hopefully this means change

219
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: for the offense as well. Though. Speaking of changes in

220
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: the backfield, Keaton Mitchell just exploded in a big way

221
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 2: against the Seahawks on Sunday. That seems good, but it

222
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: also seems worrisome that there might be a three headed

223
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 2: committee coming for the Ravens.

224
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a little bit of a worry, and

225
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 4: exploded is the right term here. Here's what I'll say.

226
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 4: I think Keaton Mitchell is a little bit more of

227
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 4: a high end stash for right now than a priority pickup.

228
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 4: But I do think it's important that our listeners know

229
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 4: his name. So he's in here, undrafted free agent rookie

230
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 4: out of East Carolina. They were running over the Seahawks

231
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 4: and he was a big part of it and got

232
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 4: the first carries of his career. He had none coming

233
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 4: into this game. Had nine in this game for one

234
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty eight yards, including a sixty yard run

235
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 4: and a forty yard touchdown run. So Gus Edwards, despite

236
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: what we saw a couple weeks ago with that long

237
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: touchdown catch, is not the explosive back. Keaton Mitchell clearly

238
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 4: can be that guy. I still think you have to

239
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 4: wait to see if Justice if he can overtake Justice

240
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 4: Hill and be kind of that change of pace guy

241
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 4: alongside Gus before you roll into lineups, but he's absolutely

242
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: worth tucking away if you've got a roster squat on

243
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 4: your bench.

244
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: We've spent a lot of time today talking up CJ.

245
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: Stroud and the Texans passing attack, but not to be

246
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 3: overlooked Tank Dell Wide receiver one. I know we should

247
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: be picking him up this week, Okata. Should we just

248
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 3: be plugging him into our lineup as well?

249
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, very probably you should be, and we've we've talked

250
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 4: about him last week and he is rostered in just

251
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 4: over half of leagues. But you need to go check

252
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 4: your waiver wire because if he is there, he is

253
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 4: probably the top ad of the week, unless you need

254
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 4: a tight end because there's some good ones. But Tank

255
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 4: Dell is going to be a starter in my opinion

256
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 4: rest of season, almost thirty Fantasy points on Sunday with

257
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 4: a pair of touchdowns. In five games that he's played

258
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 4: fifty plus percent of the snaps, he's averaged seventeen point

259
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 4: one Fantasy points and scored four touchdowns. That is elite production.

260
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 4: And yes, it's been a bit boom bust, but the

261
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: booms are well worth the investment, and I think the

262
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 4: busts will continued to diminish as he continues to progress.

263
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 4: Remember this is his rookie season and he's missed some time.

264
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 4: So absolutely add Tank Dell. Absolutely, I'd be willing to

265
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 4: flex him. And remember again, I will keep mentioning this.

266
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 4: They play the Titans in weeks fifteen and seventeen, that

267
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 4: is league winning type of performance possibility for Tank Dell

268
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: if he's in your lineup.

269
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, over in New Orleans, for whatever reason, Derek Carr

270
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 2: and Chris o'lave are struggling to connect on deep passes.

271
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: But Derek Khan, Rashid Shahed, see you have a thing.

272
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: So it's tough for us to get on board there, right.

273
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's wild. It's like, if Derek Carr throws it

274
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 4: up to a Lave, it's going to bounce off his helmet.

275
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: If he throws it up to Shaheed, it's going to

276
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 4: be a touchdown. I don't know what what's going on

277
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 4: over there, but listen, I've been trying to avoid Shahed

278
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 4: in the column and in this segment for a lot

279
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 4: of the year because he's so volatile on some boom bus.

280
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 4: But with his recent involvement, the lack of better names

281
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 4: at the position right now, I think Shaheed is worth

282
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 4: a pickup and can be played in the right matchups.

283
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 4: It's going to be tough. You're gonna have some dud weeks,

284
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 4: but the boom weeks are starting to outweigh those two

285
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 4: of his best games of the season in the last

286
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 4: three weeks. Even when you count the dud games, if

287
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 4: you will, over the course of the year, he's averaging

288
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 4: twelve point seven points per game. In Week ten, he

289
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 4: gets a matchup with the Viking secondary. I think that

290
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 4: can be beatable. He is once again as big a

291
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 4: risk rewards start as you can get, but he's worth

292
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: rolling out there if you need a guy like in

293
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 4: bye weeks as injuries continue to mount up pick up

294
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 4: sheet and.

295
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: You've already teased a bit. A big week for the

296
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: tight ends this week, especially for one that is most

297
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: famously known for not being Kyle Pitts.

298
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 4: Yes, once again we return to this. By the way,

299
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 4: just a quick note before we get to John hu

300
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 4: If Taysom Hill or Trey McBride is on your waiver wire,

301
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 4: go add them. They are must start tight ends rest

302
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 4: of the season. I don't care who you have, Okay,

303
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 4: I do care if you have Kelsey or Andrews. Maybe

304
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: a couple other guys then it's a question, but otherwise

305
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 4: pick up those guys. As for John Smith, yeah, he

306
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 4: had He had been trending downwards a couple weeks in

307
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 4: a row and it was like Arthur Smith said, Hm,

308
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 4: I don't like this.

309
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: He must get more involved.

310
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 4: And he broke back out on Sunday, five catches on

311
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 4: six targets for one hundred yards and a touchdown that

312
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: was a sixty yard catch and run. Very impressive. He

313
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 4: is now one of just five tight ends with one

314
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 4: hundred yard game on the year. And like you mentioned,

315
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 4: and like with Tyler Ralgier earlier, Arthur Smith is insistent

316
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 4: on scheming John Who into opportunities and that's what we wanted,

317
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 4: fantasy opportunities, touchdown opportunities, which he has. He's seventh at

318
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 4: the position in receiving yards this year, and he has

319
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 4: this twenty point upside. So he is more of a

320
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 4: solid streamer than a must start. So I'm not dropping

321
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 4: a guy like George Kittle or Evan Ingram for him.

322
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 4: But if you're playing that back end of the top twelve,

323
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 4: John Who should be in a conversation every week and

324
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 4: then one of the Titans. Jake Ferguson, Is he above

325
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 4: or below John u in your estimation? Definitely above. This

326
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 4: is not a he came later so he's less valuable.

327
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 4: This is a we save the best for last thing.

328
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 4: Ferguson was an absolute monster on Sunday, seven of ten

329
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 4: for ninety one yards and a touchdown. He scored fourteen

330
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 4: Fantasy points and back to back games coming out of

331
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 4: the Cowboys by and in three of his last five total.

332
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 4: But this is what this is the real crucial point

333
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 4: with Ferguson leaves all tight ends and ranks fourth in

334
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 4: the league at any position in red zone targets with fourteen.

335
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 4: The only guys ahead of him are Devonte Adams. I

336
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 4: wish you could actually convert those in the touchdowns to

337
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 4: Mark Kase and Michael Pittman Junior. And that includes Ferguson

338
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 4: going through his buy So that is absolute gold mine

339
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 4: territory for fantasy tight ends. You should be He's just

340
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 4: below the Taysom and Trey area for me, but he's

341
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 4: probably he should be starting in every league, and he's

342
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 4: probably better than the guy you have on your roster.

343
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: Probably is. Meanwhile, we don't have too many guys better

344
