00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: breaking news involving the Jacksonville Jaguars, and oh, by the way,

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: breaking news involving the Jacksonville Jaguars. That you don't really

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 1: say that that often, but that is the case today. Yeah,

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: and not that it's gonna make a huge impact in

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: fantasy Land. But Blaine Gabbert now the starting quarterback for

20
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Luke McCown out the door, and Uh, for one,

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: I'll say thank you God, because anything was better than

22
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: having McCown under center for that Jaguars offense. Well, I

23
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: have two things. One, I thought I was supposed to

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: be joining later, I guess I'm here now. And uh,

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: And I saw you brought in and out burger for me, Elliott,

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: and I can't wait. I can't wait. Yeah, but you're

27
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: the guy that brought lunch just for yourself, didn't you.

28
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: You're that guy you have no gun, You chewed gun

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: by yourself and didn't have a piece for everybody else

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: on the class stuff for five different people. Five are

31
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: the two of us do with five people? One of

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: them is really Wow. You won't be hearing much Emiliot

33
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Harrison here on the show today, but I was gonna

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: say that. You know, Luke McCown had a hundred and

35
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: eight quarterback rating last weekend divided by Yeah, you could

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: have Luke McCown, Josh McCown, Kate mcdown and it still

37
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: would Matt put him all together The big news, though,

38
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: is that Michael Vick. Maybe it doesn't look as dire

39
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: for him this week, coming off of a slight concussion

40
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: taking what was a really nasty looking hit in that

41
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: Falcons game. We could have him under center in week four,

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: in week three to face the New York Giants, which clearly, guys,

43
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: is a very favorable matchup. Yeah, I'm I'm really surprised

44
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: this is where it's at with Michael Vick, because you

45
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: sure enough I thought on Sunday, with the new NFL

46
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: concussion rules, he's done. There's no way he's gonna be

47
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: able to play. You gotta pass a battery of tests.

48
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy was coughing up blood. Probably he

49
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: bit his tongue. But I mean, this is a serious thing.

50
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: The NFL has taken serious. I I still can't believe

51
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: that it's gonna push where they're gonna let him play.

52
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: But if he does, I mean, yeah, Okay, your worries

53
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: are over, Chel. If you get cleared, you get cleared.

54
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: There's no doctor saying okay, well, you know, give me

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: some money and I'll write down whatever you need. This

56
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: is this is a big thing. So he's cleared, You're

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: okay with him, And again, guys, just reiterate. You know,

58
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: he actually participated in the Eagles walk through this morning.

59
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: He doesn't have any lingering effects from from a concussion,

60
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: no symptoms, uh, sore neck and that probably about it.

61
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: So keep tabs on Michael Vick's status. Clearly he's one

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: of the top quarterbacks in fantasy football. Uh and see

63
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: if hopefully as an owner of Michael Vick and one

64
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: of my eight leagues, he's under center for the g Men,

65
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: because again it's a great match. What wait, wait, wait,

66
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: what do you do to what do you do this

67
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: week with Michael Vick? What do you do? Waiver wire

68
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: this week? And you're expert? Picked up Rex Grossman and

69
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play Rex if if Michael can't play, because

70
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: I just cannot deal with the Dallas Cowboys defense from

71
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, They're terrible. And uh, I think Grossman

72
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: is a fantastic option, a good sleeper. And look at

73
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: the numbers that he's put up under Mike Shanahan in

74
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: his five starts he dating back to last season, he's

75
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: been extremely good. Uh So Rex Grossman now a joke anymore? Guys,

76
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: this is someone you can actually start a viable fantasy option,

77
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: especially if your number one quarterback is banged up. In

78
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: the case of Michael Vick, hopefully he's under center. I

79
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about it. You know, looking at

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: Vic there's a couple of things that that I find interesting. One,

81
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: with his status up in the air means that Kafka

82
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: gets all the reps in practice, which is only a

83
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: good thing. Secondly, you reference him, you know, biting down

84
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: and bleeding out of his mouth. You know, a lot

85
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: of concussions come from biting down, and it's actually a

86
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: result of the jaw. People always taking concussions when a

87
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: guy just gets hit on the head, a lot of

88
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: times it's the way they're hit. They end up biting

89
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: down too hard and their jaw causes the concussion, cause

90
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: a little impaction there. So it doesn't surprise me that

91
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: he was bleeding. That we saw that Sunday night. And lastly,

92
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,119
Speaker 1: Andy Reid with Kafka in there, do you guys really

93
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: think he's going to scale it back because that's not

94
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: his m O and it's never been his EMO with

95
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks. Now, I'll go you go back to go

96
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: back to Kevin Cobb, whether it's Nab or him A. J. Feeley,

97
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: any of those guys say the same thing. They came in,

98
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: They threw the football. They're gonna run the same offense,

99
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: whether it's Kafka, Vince Young, whoever it is playing quarterback

100
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: this week. So you have no worries on your Eagles weapons.

101
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: The only thing you can say is maybe teams are

102
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: gonna try early on to force Kafka to beat them,

103
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: so they'll stack the box on Lashawn McCoy a little

104
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: bit more so, maybe it takes Lashawn by a little

105
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: bit longer to get going. But overall, look Calf, because

106
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: a guy through for five thirty yards in the outback

107
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: ball in twenty came from that high powered offense in Northwestern.

108
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: He knows how to how to get through. His progression

109
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: is pretty fast and get the ball to all those weapons.

110
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: I think you have no issues there. Another big name

111
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: in fantasy held out of practice today. That was Arian Foster.

112
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: And right now you're looking at a guy in Arian

113
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: Foster who's right now? Can we say guys, I mean

114
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: he's got to be the biggest bust in fantasy football

115
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: to this point after two weeks and likely not going

116
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: to play again. This is someone who was the top

117
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: scoring player in Fantasy Land in two thousand and ten,

118
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: has barely played any snaps, very little fantasy production. And

119
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: Ben Tate, who I liked last year and then he

120
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: got hurt and that was the end of his his

121
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: rookie campaign coming out of Auburn is looking phenomenal rushes

122
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: for over hunting yards in consecutive weeks. And Gary Kubiak

123
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: kind of now says, hey, listen, you know what, Bent's

124
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: gonna be our guy until Arian Foster is healthy. Uh,

125
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 1: And I think Tate is a top fifteen Fantasy runner

126
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: this week against the New Worland Saints in a game

127
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: that you would think is going to be a shootout.

128
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: But if you drop the Darian Foster and you did

129
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: not handcuff him with Ben Tate, you are probably in

130
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: a very bad way right now. Well, let me throw

131
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: this out there. As far as Arian Foster goes, he

132
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: he went in the top three most likely in plenty

133
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: and plenty of drafts. I don't know that I wouldn't

134
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: call him a bus but that's me specifically, because he's hurt,

135
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'd say this is a guy that got hurt.

136
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: It's more bad luck. I mean the guy that you

137
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: draft high that doesn't come through, you know, I I

138
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: look at that guy's more of a bus. But have

139
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: we overrated Arian Foster? I mean seriously, no, Look, no

140
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: matter who's been in there, they've been able to run

141
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: the football, whether Rat Bentate or Derek, they've been able

142
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: to do it. So maybe Arian Foster isn't as great

143
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: as we think he is. I think he's a very

144
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: good player, but in a lot of cases, and you know,

145
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: I think Elliot would be the perfect guy to talk

146
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: about this. Sometimes system makes a good player great, and

147
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: I think that's the case in Naryan Foster. Yeah, I agree,

148
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: And but with that in mind, he does play in

149
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: that system, that zone blocking, one cut, run downhill. He's

150
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: great at that. Um, you know, it's too early to

151
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: label this guy of Fred Taylor. You know, Fred Taylor

152
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: was always kind of a fan and se disappointment because

153
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: he would be great and then he would get banged up.

154
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: He'd be great and he would get banged up. So

155
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you, Jason and that I don't

156
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: think you can call him a bust because the injury. However,

157
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: if this becomes a recurring theme with him, then I

158
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: would agree he is a fantasy bust. I think right now,

159
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: if you have Ben Tate, you're starting him. I think

160
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: the Texans are fine rolling with bent Tate, and frankly,

161
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: if I'm coach Kubiak, I'm sitting Foster for four weeks, man,

162
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm sitting him. I'm waiting until because how great would

163
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: that be for them going down the backstretch where they

164
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: have parentoly failed to have a two headed monster in

165
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: the backfield, you know, and and and the other thing too.

166
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: To come off this with Arian Foster is his value

167
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: is down. I think they really screwed up last week

168
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: starting him and giving him with the wall as many

169
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: times they did in that first drive. It was crazy

170
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: to think this guy with the way hamstring injuries linger.

171
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: We we mean, we all saw the m R I

172
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: on Twitter right exactly. And let's talk real football terms

173
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: as it relates to fantasy football. The Texans are a team, guys.

174
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean, tell me if I'm wrong. They're the favorite

175
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: to win their division a mile right now. Yeah, they

176
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: may have a clinch by thanks exactly. So why get uh,

177
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, Foster in the game when he's cooling percent

178
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: when you have been taped behind him on the depth

179
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: chart who's playing well. Uh, let Foster sit, just like

180
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: Elliott said, sit him down. It's not something that fantasy

181
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: owners want to hear about because this was a guy

182
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: they took probably in the top three and just about

183
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: every single league. But it's best long long term scenario

184
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: because if Foster continues to try to get out there

185
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: and play with a hamstring that it's less than he

186
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: is likely going to continue to reaggravate it and that

187
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: is just going to be a nightmare from a fantasy perspective.

188
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: It's NFL Fantasy Live Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano, and Elliot

189
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: Harrison as we break down all the latest news right

190
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: now in the NFL. And you think that's the end

191
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans, but really you want to talk

192
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: about the the disappointment of Arian Foster. Elliott Matt Shaw

193
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: is a guy who for the last three years has been, well,

194
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put match up in my lineup and he's

195
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: gonna start every week. For me, first two weeks this year,

196
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: less than thirty passing attempts in both games. He's not

197
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: lighting it up because as we go football terms as

198
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: as it proprides a fantasy. The Texans are gonna win

199
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: this division by a mile. They are able to run

200
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: the football. We know now that they've had this ability.

201
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: It is just you know, Steve Slayton couldn't do it,

202
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: But now they know they can do that, so now

203
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: they don't have to rely on match up throwing the

204
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: football times a game. I think those days are over

205
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: this year for the Texans. If I have Matt Shop,

206
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: I am trying to sell high on as high as

207
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: I can on him right now because I just don't

208
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: see there being shootouts going forward where Matt job is

209
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: gonna be four and three touchdowns like he has right.

210
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, my my trustee Wireless is down here, so

211
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to rely on the knowledge that you

212
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: have at the football Make sure I have these numbers right.

213
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: But I believe two thousand nine Shop through forty seven,

214
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: seventy and twenty nine touchdowns last year. I believe it's

215
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: around forty four touchdowns. But you know what, how many

216
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: of those games, guys were they down seventeen and the

217
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and they needed him to have about twenty

218
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: five pass attempts in that quarter. Now they can win

219
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: games with him having twenty to thirty pass attempts the

220
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: entire game because of the defense playing better and because

221
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: of the running game. And I think Shab is still

222
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: a great player, but for fantasy purposes he may disappoint

223
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: a few owners out there this week though. I mean,

224
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: they're going up against the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome.

225
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: To me, that just has shootout written all over it.

226
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: So maybe Shob you know, he's gonna have more bad

227
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: games than he has been in the last couple of years.

228
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't bench him unless I picked up Cam Newton

229
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire, if I picked up Brian Fitzpatrick

230
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire. I think he's a good start

231
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: this week against the Saints. I mean shop against Breeze.

232
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: The Saints defense certainly not great against the past, and

233
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: that was evident against Aaron Rodgers in Week one. I

234
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: think Shab is a very viable low end fantasy starter

235
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: in Week three, because again I think this is just

236
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: gonna be a high scoring game. I think this way though,

237
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: is as far as moving forward with Shaw, though we've

238
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: seen there's other guys out there now that this year

239
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: could give that kind of fantasy production, not one of

240
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: the top five or six eleague quarterbacks. But there's other

241
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: guys out there like Shop. I mean, I don't know

242
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: that you're doing any disservice if you're playing Ryan Fitzpatrick

243
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: this week over, if you have one of those guys

244
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: as your backups, you can move Matt Shaw because you're

245
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: not gonna move lose that much in production wise, because

246
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: I think going forward it's gonna be six and one

247
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: half dozen the other And that's obviously the sex of

248
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: your name. Look, you can pick up Rex Grossman, try

249
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: to trade him or Ryan Fitzpatrick. No one's gonna have

250
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: trade They're not gonna have trade value. But Matt Job

251
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: has the trade value. Totally totally agree and it You know,

252
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: Matt Shob is a sexy name, but if we just

253
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: transition Matt's here, you know, Matt Hasselbeck. I picked him

254
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: up last week on the waiver wire with no intention

255
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: of starting him against Baltimore. Now it turns out he

256
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: had a great game, okay, but I had no intention

257
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: of starting him. I just wanted to get him before

258
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: anybody else got him, with the thought process of I'm

259
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: gonna start him later on down the season because Peyton

260
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: Manning was my starter in that league and I'm rolling

261
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: with Kyle Morton. Hasselbeck has had two very good Fantasy

262
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: games back to back, and it looks like, guys, especially

263
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: with Kenny Britt, that he could be a viable option

264
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: for you through the remainder of the schedule. You know what, Uh,

265
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna disagree with you a little bit there because

266
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: I think there's so many good quarterbacks in the National

267
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: Football League that if you're rolling with Matt Hasselbeck weekend

268
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: in a week out, you're likely gonna lose more games

269
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: than you And listen, He's put up good numbers over

270
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks. There's no doubt about it.

271
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: Kenny Britt has been fantastic. He was in my favorite

272
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: breakout candidates on NFL dot Com in the preseason. But

273
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: I think Hastlebeck is a matchup based guy. I don't

274
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: think there's any doubt about that right now. But I'd

275
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: rather have Grossman, I'd rather have Fitzpatrick. I'd clearly rather

276
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: have Cam Newton. Uh. And we'll see what happens. He's

277
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: he does have a good matchup this week against Denver

278
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: Bronco was, especially if Champ Bailey is banged up again.

279
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: But I just I can't roll with Matt Hasselbeck my

280
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: counter one guy. That's like the third time you guys

281
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: have said we're rolling with Matt. I gotta counter your counter.

282
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: You really think Grossman is a better player than Hasselbeck,

283
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if he's a good player, a better

284
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: player than Matt Hasselbeck. I'm yes, Listen, We've seen examples

285
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: of guys come out of nowhere. What about Brandon Lloyd.

286
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: He's stunk for seven years before last year. That doesn't matter.

287
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: Look at the system isn't look and you know, I

288
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: know that the wireless is having an issue right now.

289
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: Look at Rex Grossman's numbers in the five starts he's

290
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: made in Mike Shanahan's offense, and those numbers are pretty

291
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 1: damn good guys. And Matt Hasselbeck to me again, a

292
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: guy who's more of a matchup based starter. Rex Grossman

293
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: number one has better matchups down the stretch than Hasselbeck.

294
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: He's younger, he fits the offense. I like Hastlebeck. I

295
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: don't love him. I don't like him as much nearly

296
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: as a guy like Rex Grossman. Against the Cowboys this week,

297
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: you will Grossman is a bad start. Grossman is Grossman

298
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: is throwing multiple touchdown passes. I believe in all but

299
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: one game where he's been the starter in a Mike

300
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: Shanahan offense. That's pretty good. But wait a minute, Okay,

301
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: if you're talking this week, then yeah, I'll take Grossman

302
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: versus Dallas, But I can't take that small a sample

303
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: size for Grossman and compare it to Hasslebeck's career. Hasslebeck

304
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: was terrible last year. Yeah, but I think you have

305
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: to look if you're talking about going forward, Hasslebeck has

306
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: played very well, but as time goes on, Chris Johnson

307
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: is going to get the carries there, so you're gonna

308
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: see Hasslebecks pass attempts are going to decrease. The Redskins

309
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: have shown they're gonna throw the football thirty four pass

310
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: attempts for for Grossman Week one, forty three next last week,

311
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna continue to throw the football. I like the

312
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: fact that Hasslebeck is throwing the britt but you can't

313
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: get away from all those pass attempts because then you

314
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: take a look at Grossman weekend and week out is

315
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: a three hundred yard threat at least right now. Hasselbeck, Yeah,

316
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: he's had a great first couple of weeks, But I

317
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: kind of believe in more in the system in Washington

318
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: right now, more than what he's gonna do throwing in

319
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. Hey, it's two against one. I'm not saying

320
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: that you're not making good points. And hassle Beck has

321
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: been good, right He's he's put up some fantasy points

322
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: over the first couple of weeks. But look at the

323
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: numbers from Rex Grossman. Three hundred five yards and two

324
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns against the New York Giants last week, two yards

325
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals. If you look

326
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: back last year, he threw for over three hundred yards.

327
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: I believe in two of the three starts he made

328
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: under Mike Shanahan. One of those games had two touchdowns,

329
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: the other he had four. So I know, Rex Grossman

330
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: is not the sexiest fantasy pick in the world, believe me.

331
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: But if you remember back to when he played for

332
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears and led that team ultimately to his

333
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl appearance, there was a good studge where Rex

334
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: Grossman was a very viable fantasy starter. Uh, and I

335
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: think that's happening again. But the greater point here, guys,

336
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: is that any quarterback, or at least most quarterbacks, can

337
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: put up big fantasy numbers in this day and age

338
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,479
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. You're seeing it from Fitzpatrick,

339
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: You're seeing it from Grossman, You're seeing it from a

340
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: rookie in Cam Newton who is breaking all kinds of

341
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: records and doing things that no non running back at

342
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: the rookie spot has ever done before. He's making a

343
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: fantasy impact and he's putting up gigantic numbers. It's a

344
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: passing league, and there's not a lot of quarterbacks that

345
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to sort of advice people to start

346
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: because the quarterback position is just so bondiful with that

347
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: fantasy production. All right, speaking of quarterback position, right here,

348
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: it's NFL Fantasy Live on Sirius XM Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano,

349
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: Elliott Harrison. We started off a little bit joking around

350
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: at the top about playing Gabbert, but he is going

351
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: to be the starting quarterback for the Jaguars this week.

352
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: Mercedes Lewis has banged up, but of course people want

353
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: to know what is what does this mean for the

354
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: value of Maurice Jones Drew Is he still a must

355
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: started something we talked about earlier today on NFL Fantasy

356
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: Live and NFL dot Com, NFL Network. M j D.

357
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: You look at what's going on, it's gonna be tough

358
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: going early on, it was tough going for Luke McCown.

359
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: Now here's what you have going on with Blaine Gabbert.

360
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: What do you say you play him? Listen, you play

361
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: Morris Jones Drew with Luke McCown under center. In Week one,

362
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: he had just under hunter yards rushing, had a good

363
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: Fantasy game, not great. You're not gonna see great from

364
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: Morias S. Jones Drew. I think you could see good. Uh.

365
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: And last week listen, they were outmatched against the Jets.

366
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: Mike Mike Thomas was on rivious island, Marcedes Lewis was hurt,

367
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: Jason Hill was hurt, uh, and mccon was terrible. So

368
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: m j D still actually put up decent numbers, not

369
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: great numbers. He was okay, But you gotta roll with

370
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: this guy. And unless you have just an incredible lineup

371
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: and you're playing in a three team league, okay, with

372
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: your mom and your girlfriend, you're on your girlfriend, you

373
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: start m j D. You know I said it on

374
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: the show today NFL Fantasy Live. I just don't see

375
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: any way that you said the guy he's gonna get

376
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: the touches. You're guaranteed that he's gonna work around the

377
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: goal line. You're guarantee that those are two of the

378
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: most important things, right, But how often are they gonna

379
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: be around the goal line? That's my How often will

380
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: they be that? Look it's colored writing, it's the end zone. Hey, hey,

381
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: you can always have a defensive turnover, you know, you

382
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: can always have a big play in the special teams

383
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: that set you up when you have a guy. My

384
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: biggest concern when it comes to a running back and

385
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: benching him is are they taking him off the field

386
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: when they're inside the tent? Are they taking him off

387
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: the field when they're inside the five. They're not gonna

388
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: do that with them, j D. You know, as FABS mentions,

389
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: look at their quarterback situation, they're not gonna be airing

390
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: it out forty five times a game. Unless you have

391
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: an incredible lineup, you do not bench m j D. Alright,

392

400
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: loads it up, throws the ball deep down the right sideline.

401
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: Decker makes it just when he's got at the fifteen ten,

402
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: he prances steps over the end zone mine and that

403
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: is a Dinver touchdown. Eric Decker second touchdown of the game.

410
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: This is how old I am. I warped this cassette

411
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: tape when it came out, back and forth, back and forth.

412
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: I remember. I still I could go song from top

413
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: to back on the on this CD, the most underrated

414
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: hair metal CD. I love this disc? Are you kidding me?

415
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: This is just an unbelievable album. You've gone wild, I

416
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: remember you, Uh, fantastic, sweet little sister. Keep going on this,

417
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: but let's get in on it. Yeah, you're not of hair,

418
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't strike me at all as a

419
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: hair mat. But he is though. Really you're striking this

420
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: like a David Bowie fan. I had backstage pass two

421
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: Guns and Roses skin Row in Spring of n and

422
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: I rocked out with wealth. You can just just you

423
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: know in the sentence for me. But uh, if I

424
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: had to pick skin Roll's best song, I don't have

425
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: to go with it's eighteen in Life. Man, that's a

426
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: great tune. A little guitar. Best video is eighteen in Life, Easily.

427
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: Skin Roll was awesome. YEA quick saying Jesus was an

428
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: underrated song, so I love that. Remember it was number

429
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: one on MTV for like three months. I remember you

430
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: remember just jamming that. I would play it and then

431
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: go back and play it again, and then go back

432
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: and play it again. I'm one of those guys play

433
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: the same song over and over again. When when I

434
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: was at Fox Sports, we had an intern who she

435
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: looked just like Sebastian Bach. Wow, that's I don't know

436
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: how I'd feel about that. I didn't either, So it's

437
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: pretty on the fence ecauce I've not really The question

438
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: is did you ask her out? I? I did not.

439
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: I did not more over, just trying to use more

440
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: over in the sentence. Okay, hey, let's get to Eric Decker. Obviously,

441
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: he's somebody who everybody has on their list this week,

442
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: probably the number one waiver wire pick up white out wise,

443
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: that's tough to say with all those w's in a row.

444
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: I really like Decker because no matter what the health

445
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: of Brandon Lloyd is, and he was back at practice

446
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: earlier today, so that's good news to the Denver Broncos.

447
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: Eddie Royal is gonna be out for a long time.

448
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: They're going to throw the football. I think this this

449
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: twenty eight carried day by h Willis mcgahey was was

450
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: a mirrage. They're gonna throw the football. Orton's gonna put

451
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: up numbers. Decker is gonna be really good going forward.

452
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: Maybe not like this because when Brandon Loyd comes back,

453
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: Brandon Lloyd is Kyle Orton's guy. But I really like

454
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: Eric Decker going forward. I pick him up. I'm starting

455
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: this week. I picked him up already myself, and I

456
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: was a real genius. It didn't start him. Uh So

457
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: you gotta pick up guys to start. You can't pick

458
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: up if you pick up somebody, you don't pick up

459
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: somebody to say you pick him up to start. Dude,

460
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,239
Speaker 1: I hate to you know, quote Renee's Lger, but you

461
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: had me in Hello on that one. I'm totally there

462
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: with you. But I know the biggest thing with Eddie

463
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: Royal and with Brandon Lloyd is they have groin injuries

464
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: and growing injury. Hey, hey, man, listen, When you have

465
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: a growing injury and you play either wide receiver or dB,

466
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: it is awful because you're cutting and changing direction on

467
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: every single play and it's just not the kind of

468
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: thing that heals quickly. And that means that Decker is

469
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: not only a good option for this week, he's a

470
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: good option for the next couple of weeks. I'm right

471
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: there with you. I think as far as as the

472
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: Broncos offense goes now No Shan Marino is going to

473
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: be back as well. This is I kind of get

474
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: in a in a six and one half dozen of

475
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: the other mode with with the Broncos running backs I

476
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: don't like from a fantasy standpoint, I don't like Willis mcgahey,

477
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: but he is going to get the carries at least

478
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: this week, maybe not as many because No Shan Marino

479
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: was back. But I just don't know that Denver, from

480
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: a football to a fantasy standpoint, is going to commit

481
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: to the running game enough to say, these guys are

482
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 1: you should start one of these guys. These guys are

483
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball enough there they're viable starts running back.

484
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: I think he has something better off than than Marino.

485
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: And you have to think, well, unless you're like me

486
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: and you have Sean Green and Ryan Grant, you're like,

487

Speaker 1: football talk and the home of the eighties. I didn't

499
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: have a backstage pass to Winger, you didn't, be honest.

500
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: I wish I could have looked like him. But you

501
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: remember the kid in UH Beavis and butt Head what

502
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: was his name, Stewart? I think so. Not many people

503
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: were big, big Winger fans back then. It is NFL

504
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live Jason Smith, along with NFL dot um an,

505

506
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 1: Fantasy editor, also here as we take a look at

507
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: the big news off the waiver wire. UH coach Jim

508
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: Moore is gonna join us in one second to get

509
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: to but real quick, Michael, I know tight ends a

510
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: couple of big guys out there, Dustin Keller, Fred Davis.

511
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: Who do you like out of those guys? Yeah, I

512
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,239
Speaker 1: mean listen, Dustin Keller. He actually was really good at

513
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: the beginning of last year and then sort of faded out.

514
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: He's doing the same thing in two thousand and eleven.

515
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: But you have to like the fact that Mark Sanchez

516
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: is looking to him often, that Jets are throwing the

517
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: football more, just like most teams around the National Football League. Keller,

518
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: right now, is it top five fantasy tight end? I'd

519
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: start him certainly over a guy like Owen Daniel's, Vernon Davis,

520
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 1: Dallas Clark. Write him while he's hot. Alright, let's bring

521
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: in Jim Moore, NFL network analysts and coach. You know,

522
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: we're talking at the top of the show, reports that

523
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: Michael Vick went through practice earlier today and and he's

524
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: possible that he could play on Sunday. NFL has got

525
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: these new concussion rules. You know, we're talking about how

526
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: impossible it is to be cleared almost when you're coming

527
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: off a concussion. What are you making the news that

528
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: Michael Vick might be able to play. It's good because

529
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: I got him on two of my teams. Uh, I

530
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: don't know, I'd still be I'd still be wary. I mean,

531
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, uh, he's got a pass a test by

532
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: an independent doctor, not to his own team doctor. You know,

533
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: there's an independent guy that he's kind of see that says, okay,

534
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: you're clear to play, which is a great thing for Mike,

535
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: and I think the league is doing the right thing,

536
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: but it can make it tough on fantasy owners, that's sure. Jim.

537
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: So in your NFL network league, you've got a couple

538
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: of guys that I'm sure you're a little worried about,

539
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of fantasy owners are also worried about,

540
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: one being Frank Gore and second Dallas Clark. What are

541
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: you expecting from these guys, And more to the point

542
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: on Gore, what are you seeing that the Niners are

543
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: not doing offensively? Because Gore is the bell cow and

544
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh really like to run the football quite a

545
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: bit Stanford, and this offense just looks very vanilla after

546
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: two weeks. Well it is, and it's because I think

547
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: they you know, they're trying to protect Alex Smith right now,

548
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: and I think you have to recognize that it's a

549
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: new offense for all of these guys and they didn't

550
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: have an offseason to work together. Um, they're trying not

551
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: to put their quarterback in situations where he's going to

552
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: make a bad decision that hurts their football team. So

553
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: they kind of reined it in a little bit. But

554
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: I think what you'll start seeing is they'll start open

555
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: things up in the passing game, which ought to help

556
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: Frank Gore get loose. Because you're right, Jim Harbaugh loves

557
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: to run the football. He's not had a lot of

558
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: success at the college level running the football, which is

559
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: certainly not the pro level. But he understands this game.

560
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: He played it for like fifteen years. So at the

561
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: NFL level, I'm I'm I'm hanging with Gore. I'm good

562
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: with him. I think he's going to break out a

563
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: little bit. Uh. They played Cincinnati this week. I'm actually

564
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: covering that game for Fox. So yeah, you know what

565
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: was funny is I had Stephen jack I'm sorry, I

566
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: have Vincin Jackson. I have a bunch of teams, so

567
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: I have Vincent Jackson on a couple of my teams,

568
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: and I'm doing the first game of the year for Fox.

569
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing San Francis or San Diego, Minnesota. And he's

570
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: wide open deep and he starts to slow down and

571
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: the ball just cloes right off the tips of his fingers.

572
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to, you know, stay composed in the

573
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: press box and you know, report to the people that

574
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: are watching the game on Fox. You know what's happening

575
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: inside him when you're gonna catch that ball? Man, I

576
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: need those points. I love it. I love it so so,

577
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: Jim More, you will be rooting for Frank Gore in

578
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: the press box this weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals as

579
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: much as maybe you can't. I didn't say that. Wait, wait,

580
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: do you see you know what this comments are gonna be.

581
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't start him. I might have to start I

582
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: might have to start looking at my roster. And if

583
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing a game for Fox, I might have started

584
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: setting those guys down just so that I can be

585
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: objective in the box. Now, I think you're gonna hear

586
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: coach on side and say, I don't know why Frank

587
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: Gore isn't getting the ball more in this run again,

588
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: he needs to get the ball to three times every possession.

589
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: Why is he not getting the football? See, Jim, maybe

590
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: you need to be tuned into the sidelines and you

591
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: can get into hardballs here and say, hey, Jim, you

592
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: know I could use some more fantasy points from Gore

593
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: this week. Give maybe five six carries on this next series. Yeah,

594
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: if I ever said that to a coach in the NFL,

595
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: that's the last time they talked to me. I would

596
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: I would never do that, you know, Jim, it's Elliott here,

597
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: And I only announced that because I want you to

598
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: know that I'm not going to ask you any Marquez

599
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: Pope related questions. Uh, I one even knows who is

600
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: I know, I know. But you were talking about, you know,

601
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: the lockout and affecting Uh, you know, it infected everybody,

602
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: obviously getting systems in and getting young players a chance

603
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: to play as well. And you came up in this

604
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: league as a defensive coach, and so I'm curious, from

605
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: a from a defensive coaches mindset, how would you defend

606
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. Well, it'd be tough to do. I mean,

607
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: the guy is going to be a really good player.

608
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: But I think I just tried to be patient. I

609
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: wouldn't do anything special against him. I don't think that

610
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: it warn't he warn't that yet. I pressure when I

611
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: felt like it was time to pressure. I'd cover when

612
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: I felt I was trying to cover, and then I

613
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: just think my eyes aware of the fact that on occasion,

614
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: just because he's still a young player in this league,

615
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: he's going to make some decisions that we can capitalize

616
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: on as a defense if we're disciplined, if we have

617
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: our eyes in the right spot, if we're ready to

618
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: catch a ball that's overthrown like you did the other day. Uh,

619
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: the guy is something special. I mean, he's big, he's fast,

620
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: he's strong, he's smart, he's got a cannon for an arm,

621
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: he can run, he can do all those things. But

622
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: he's still learning the game at this level. So I

623
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: don't I don't know that I do anything specially. Then,

624
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: just try to play good, sound, discipline defense and be

625
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: ready to take advantage of opportunities when they presented themselves.

626
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: Right were you you know, staying with Newton? You play

627
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: fantasy football. You understand how it works, knowing what you

628
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: know about him and also what Caroline is trying to do.

629
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: Do you see him from a fantasy standpoint continuing to

630
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: put up these ridiculous numbers every week? Here? Well, I

631
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: don't you know. I said it last week on some stations,

632
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: said there's no way the guy can throw for four

633
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: hundred yards every week, and then he comes out and

634
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: throws for four or four hundred yards. So I don't

635
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: want to put limitations on the kid. I mean, he's

636
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: very capable of continuing to do this. But I think

637
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: one thing that they have to do offensively is finds

638
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: a balance. They got to run the football. And if

639
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: they're running the football successfully, you could argue that it's

640
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: only gonna make his passing game that much more effective.

641
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, it's going to take tempts

642
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: away from him. So you know, there's no way he

643
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: stays on this page. I just can't even imagine that

644
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: he stays on this page. But I think he's going

645
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: to be a productive player all year long, and he's

646
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: only gonna get better. I mean, he's shoot, he's just

647
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: scratching the surface. So you know, you say, Newton surprised you.

648
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: You went up against Matt Hasselbeck as a defensive coordinator,

649
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: and then you see what Rex Grossman did. Did those

650
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: guys shock you with the kind of numbers they're putting

651
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: up right now? Uh No, Matt didn't. I know what

652
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: Matt's capable of. I coached Matt um Matt's capable when

653
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: he's comfortable when he understands the system, when he's on rhythm,

654
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: he's as good as there is. And you know, obviously

655
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: Sunday he felt that way. Rex Grossman, his numbers ought

656
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: to come down because, um, well, you know what, I

657
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: shouldn't say his numbers are gonna come down. His numbers

658
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: a prize day pretty consistent. They're running the ball well,

659
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: which is opening things up. But you know, Rex is

660
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: what Rex is. I mean, he's he's a good solid

661
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. He's gonna throw some touchdown passes,

662
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna avoid interceptions for the most part. Um. But

663
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean I like Rex, I like Correx, but you

664
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: know I'm more familiar with Matt. I know Mac and

665
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: RiPP This league up if he's given some time and

666
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: has a good chemistry going with his receivers. All right, Jim,

667
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna again go back to your fantasy team on

668
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com, NFL Network, and you have Dwayne Bill

669
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: right now, he's on your bench. Uh. And the Kansas

670
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: City Chiefs really struggling over the first couple of weeks

671
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: to score points and and moreover, to score fantasy points. UH.

672
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: For owners out there, now that you have Moayaki out

673
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: for the year, You've got Jonathan Baldwin's not making an impact.

674
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: You've got Jamal Charles out for the year. Uh, put

675
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: on your defensive coordinator hat and tell everyone out here,

676
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: is Dwayne Owest production going to continue to dip throughout

677
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: this season because he's the only legitimate option that Chiefs

678
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: really have in that offense, or should he continue to

679
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: be played in fantasy leagues because of these guys absences,

680
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: He's going to see more targets. I'm gonna play this

681
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: week because I think he's gonna get the ball more,

682
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: just for the reasons you just stated. And uh, you know,

683
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: I stick with him. I mean, They're not gonna stay

684
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: in this funk forever. I mean there Matt Castle was

685
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: too good a quarterback. Um Todd Haley is too good

686
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: an offensive mind. Uh you know, things just haven't started

687
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: off well for them, but they'll they'll eventually have some

688
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: really good games. And like you said, he's right now

689
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: their best option. So I'm it's time for him to play.

690
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: I gotta get him suited up. This week, it's NFL

691
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live on Sirius xm Jason Smith along with Elliot

692
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: Harris and Michael Fabiano were breaking down all the latest

693
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: fantasy news with NFL Network analyst Jim Moron Coach. You know,

694
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: we spent a lot of time this week talking about

695
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: the new Fantasy Darlings. Obviously Carolina Panthers putting up a

696
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: lot of points. We mentioned that Washington and Redskins there.

697
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: But the Buffalo Bills. This is a team that last

698
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: year we watched Ryan Fitzpatrick o nuts for a few weeks,

699
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: kind of tapered off at the end. They've started out

700
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: hot again. They have a lot of weapons. People are

701
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: picking up players like Stevie Johnson and Scott Chandler. Fred

702
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: Jackson has become a must start in plenty of NFL leagues.

703
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: What do you see for the Bills going forward? I

704
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: see that they will get beat by the New England Patriots. Yeah,

705
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: but that's irrelevant. If they lose forty five thirty five,

706
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,239
Speaker 1: nobody cares. I don't know that they can put up

707
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: thirty five on New England. Now. You know, maybe I'm

708
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: just misinformed, and I like what they're doing there. I

709
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: think they're building something that's gonna be really strong here

710
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: in the pretty new near future. But I think it's

711
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: gonna be tough sledding this week against New England. You know,

712
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: New England's kind of one of those teams that you know,

713
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: when you throw a challenge their way, whether it's verbal

714
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: or whether they just say, hey, there's a new kin

715
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: on the block that's feeling pretty good about himself, we're

716
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: gonna knock him back. They seem to do that, and uh,

717
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, I know New England's defense haven't been stellary

718
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: up this year, but I think they're gonna play very,

719
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: very very well. They do not want the Buffalo Bills

720
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: to feel like they're getting any traction in that a

721
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: f ceast. So I'm looking for a great defense performance

722
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: for New England this week and tough tough sledding, like

723
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: I've said before, for the Buffalo Bills. So, Jim, you

724
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: think fantasy owners out there should actually bench Ryan Fitzpatrick

725
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: this weekend. It depends on who who their option is,

726
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: you know, station for I wouldn't benching for Tavaris Jackson,

727
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, but I was assuming that Tavaris Jackson's on

728
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: anybody's fantasy thing. Well, I'm just saying. I'm just saying

729
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: that just because I know that you know they've struggle

730
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: offensively a little bit, but uh, and I like Tavaris.

731
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: I think he's a good player, but I uh, you know,

732
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: it depends what your options are. I don't about that

733
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: classified right now. To give anybody a whole lot of

734
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: fantasy advice based upon what well, actually, you know, this

735
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: week I did pretty well, but uh, you know my

736
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: first week I was awful, So I thought, I goes

737
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: back coaching in the league. I was so awful. Well,

738
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: based on what you just said, I'm gonna ask you

739
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: for more fantasy advice. So Jay Cutler uh down in

740
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: New Orleans last week last weekend gave Creamy the right

741
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: tackle goes out. They had a really hard time protecting him.

742
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: It's a similar theme for Mike Martz to him. I

743
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: know you faced many many times. Uh would that give

744
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: you pause or hesitation to start Cutler knowing that protection

745
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: is such a problem. Well, I think they're going to

746
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: get that fixed. I mean, if you read what love

747
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: Smith said this week, he said, you know, we need

748
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: to be more balanced on offense. And he didn't say

749
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: that last year until later in the season, and that's

750
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: when they started playing better. So I actually think that

751
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: right now is a great time to be a Jay

752
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: Cutler owner because I think they're going to throw the

753
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: ball left, but they're going to be more productive throwing it.

754
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see some big numbers from him

755
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,959
Speaker 1: when they get that running game going. It'll just open

756
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: up a lot more for for Jake Cutler down the field.

757
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: See Jim, I'm on the other side of the at

758
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: because I look at Cutler's stats in the last three years,

759
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: they've all decreased. When you talk touchdowns, you talk yard,

760
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: and you talk completion percentage, I don't know that we

761
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: haven't seen the best of Jake Cutler and this is

762
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: kind of what we're seeing from here on out. Well,

763
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: you might be right, but I don't know. I still

764
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: like him as a quarterback. I don't know how many

765
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: points he's gonna get. He's not on one of my teams,

766
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,959
Speaker 1: so I don't really care. I'm just kidding. I care,

767
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: I care if I was kidding, Okay, I was just

768
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: joking around. I like I could see that at Fox

769
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: if you're doing a Pars game, and hey, Jim, what

770
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: do you think about the touchdown passed by color? I

771
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: don't have him, so I don't care. Jim, Yeah, I

772
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: would never do that. First and foremost, before I'm before

773
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: i'm a fantasy owner, I am a fan of the league,

774
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, and a fan of the players in the league,

775
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: and uh I pull for them all. You know, like

776
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: people say, well, who's your favorite team? I don't have

777
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: a favorite team because I have friends on just about

778
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: every team, coaching on just about every team, So you know,

779
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: I can't pull for one over the other, you know,

780
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: although you know, I have a couple that a couple

781
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: of keep my pocket that I'm pulling for every week.

782
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: But I don't state it publicly just because you know,

783
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: I was in the league for twenty five or twenty

784
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: six years. I got friends everywhere. But I said, I

785
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: just you know, I think Cutler. I think that's a

786
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: good team, the good defense. That the defense is going

787
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: to get in the ball a lot of times. They

788
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna, you know, Mike March, no matter what love

789
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: he tells him, he's still gonna fling it around a

790
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: little bit. And uh they get Forte rolling like they

791
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: have been and kind of keep feeding it to him.

792
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: It's just gonna open things up for Cutler. Jim, I'm

793
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm curious how long you've been playing fantasy football? I mean,

794
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: did you used to start Bobby Aber and Ruben Mays

795
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,959
Speaker 1: on your This is this is my first year ever, ever, ever,

796
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: this is I'm only in week two, starting week three

797
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: of my fantasy football career. I had never done it before. Certainly,

798
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: when you're coaching, that's not something that you're doing. You know,

799
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: you don't really have time, nor do I. I don't

800
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: know if it's a loud or not, but I just

801
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: never had, never, ever, had been involved in fantasy football.

802
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: And now I've got like six teams going. So uh yeah,

803
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: I've got teams with my kids against my kids, you know,

804
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: against my brothers. I mean, it's awesome. It's a lot

805
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: of fun. It keeps it interesting. Yeah, So what are

806
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: you what are your first impressions about fantasy football now?

807
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: Being that you're in here, you know for the last

808
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: marthia you had your drafts and running the team for

809
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks. What are your impressions about

810
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: fantasy football? It sucks you in, man, It just sucked

811
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: you in, and it can be real time consuming if

812
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,479
Speaker 1: you allow it to be. It's a lot of fun.

813
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: It kind of makes you know, I can't wait till

814
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: to look at the stats after the games. You know,

815
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: I get right on NFL dot Com and I'm checking

816
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: my teams out. I'm looking for stats and I'm seeing

817
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: who's playing well. And you know, I didn't necessarily do

818
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: that before, you know, if I was coaching. Obviously I

819
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: was involved in my own team, and then last year,

820
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: which my was my first year out of coaching, I

821
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: was just kind of removed from you know, I really didn't.

822
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: I just wasn't involved in any team. I was doing

823
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: games for Fox and doing stuff for NFL Network. But

824
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: this year, I don't know, it's kind of made me

825
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: feel a little bit more connected to things. And I

826
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: can see where people get a ticket to it. I

827
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: know now why, uh the show on Sundays the Red

828
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: Zone is so popular. I mean, you know, I mean

829
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 1: it's like people don't care so much about teams anymore.

830
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: They care about players. Coach. What's been the hardest thing

831
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: that you use something or something that you know, I

832
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: didn't expect this quite when with managing my team and

833
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: doing fantasy football for the first time. Well, you know,

834
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: just keeping up with all the different teams and all

835
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: the different players and trends and who they're playing and

836
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: when bye weeks are and you know, like I said,

837
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't just have one team. I got multiple teams.

838
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: Plus I helped my kids with their teams. So uh.

839
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: And then when I look at the box scores on

840
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: Sunday night or Monday and I see some of the

841
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 1: guys that had on the bench scoring a lot of points,

842
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: it pisses me off because I go, that should have

843
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: played that guy. You know, I have these flashbacks to

844
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: when I was coaching and I made poor decisions. You know,

845
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: I just don't nobody's writing about it, nobody's booing me

846
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: except but I'm feeling the same same way. Yeah, no

847
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: one's blowing you, but you're getting emails from people in

848
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: the league saying, wow, someone still was on your bench.

849
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: Nice job. That's kind of thee Now. Yeah, he's NFL

850
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: Network analyst Jim Moore coaches always. Thanks for your time here.

851
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week. Alright, guys, take care.

852
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: Thanks Jim, you're the best man. Very good. You know.

853
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: I gonna tell you, Elliot, you mentioned was he playing

854
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,959
Speaker 1: Ruben Mays and Bobby My very first fantasy team, first

855
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 1: year I did Fantasy I mean, I remember my first

856
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: team more than I did teams. I won championships with

857
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: Mario o'bates was huge for me, a huge three agent

858
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 1: pickup in ninety four and helped me get to third place.

859
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: That year. I had Derek Brown wave Derek Brown, not

860
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: the tight end, Derrick Brown, running back. Derrick Brown picked

861
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: up Marrio Obates and went on to third place. You

862
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: know what's funny is they're starting back was supposed to

863
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: be Lorenz O'Neil and he got hurt. He ended up

864
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: becoming obviously a legendary, but he was supposed to at

865
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: one time be a tailback in this league. You guys,

866
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: remember your first team, your very first team. I had

867
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: Terrell Davis and Michael Irvin was on that team, and

868
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: I actually traded for Fred Taylor. I believe this was

869
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: eight was Taylor's rookie year, and uh I want it.

870
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: I want it that year my first year because James

871
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,439
Speaker 1: Stewart got hurt and Fred Taylor stepped in like week two.

872
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor was fantastic and Terrell Davis was just a

873
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: beast at that point in his career. My very first

874
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: team was in the eighties when there was rotisserie baseball

875
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: and football was just an extension. They only did it

876
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 1: on touchdowns back then. But we could only draft guys

877
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: if tops made a football card of them. So my

878
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: first quarterback I'm pretty sure was Neil Lomax of the St.

879
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: Louis Card. Really yeah, remember Neilmack? I absolutely remember him

880
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: and Roy Green? Remember that offense? Yeah, Eric Metcalf, Yeah yeah,

881
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: How did you on that point where you drafted Neil Lomax? Well,

882
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: I can't believe he was. Again, we could do it

883
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: if they had a football card. It is NFL Fantasy

Speaker 1: get to cowboys, because everybody's hurt. Everybody and fabs. You know,

912
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: all these guys, whether it's Miles Austin, dez Bryant, Felix Jones,

913
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, everyone owns them. They're they're ninety nine point

914
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: whatever percent owned in our NFL dot Com fantasy leagues. Yeah,

915
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: and I gotta be honest with you when you say

916
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: the two words collapsed lung scares the Jesus out of

917
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: me if I'm a fantasy owner, especially because Rome was

918
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: playing on Monday night, doesn't help. So if you have

919
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: Rex Grossman, okay, you know what, maybe you play Rex Grossman.

920
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 1: You wait till the injury report comes out on Monday night.

921
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: It looks like he's gonna play. But collapse lung scares me.

922
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: If there's a better option out there, If a Ryan

923
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is out there, a safer option, you go without Romo.

924
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: Not only does the collapse lung become a major issue,

925
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: Miles Austin is out, Des Bryant's banged up, Felix Jones

926
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: is banged up. Where is this offense going? Right now?

927
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: As good as Romo is in fantasy, this situation is

928
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: more than a little bit scary. Yeah, I don't know

929
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 1: that there's any Cowboys you can really count on starting

930
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: this week. All right, Let's just say Tony Romo plays,

931
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: all right, say, Tony Romo plays, Felix Jones has been

932
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: injured and unproductive, so you know you're not getting that

933
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: that help in the running game. Maybe two Shard Choice

934
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: steps in this week and plays, well, you know you're

935
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: not getting that. You know, Miles Austin isn't gonna play.

936
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: You know Dez Brian is having trouble conditioning and his health.

937
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can find other receivers on

938
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: reality shows to bring them in to make Tony Romo

939
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: viable option this week. I mean, I think you have

940
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: to look and say, even if Romo plays, you might

941
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: have to sit them just because who's gonna throw the

942
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: football too? Yeah, and some of the best receivers on

943
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: reality shows are on, you know, the Bachelor, So don't

944
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: bring up the Bachelor now, Harrison show that you to

945
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: start on. By the way, you've done really well. I

946
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, as NFL dot Com NFL analysts slash

947
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: assistant treasurer for Sigma Kai, I just made that up,

948
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: but I gotta tell you that that when we did

949
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: the Power rankings this week for NFL dot Com, I

950
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 1: got so much grief for putting the Cowboys at twelve

951
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,800
Speaker 1: and and the Falcons behind them at thirteen, and I

952
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: was thinking, you know, the Falcons got hammered in Week one. Okay,

953
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had a very difficult road assignment September eleven

954
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: up in New York, and then they beat the forty

955
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: Niners with both receivers hurt, They're tight end couldn't even

956
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: reach for a ball, their tailback out, and the quarterback

957
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 1: playing with the collapse long and people had a problem

958
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: with that. I flew my mind, you know. And from

959
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, you gotta be careful with these guys.

960
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: And if I have Kevin Cobb on my bench, I'm

961
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: starting him over Romo. No question. There's so many good

962
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the National Football League and fantasy football right

963
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: now that it doesn't make a lot of sense to

964
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: take a risk on a guy like Roman. You know,

965
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: maybe it's a better risk if his offense is healthy,

966
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: if his top option in the passing game is healthy

967
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: and not not out with a hamstring injury. Maybe okay,

968
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: but we could potentially be looking at Holly and Ogl

969
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: trade wide receiver for the Cowboys on Monday night if

970
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: des Bryant doesn't come back. So I really, unless you're

971
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: really hurting at the quarterback position. Romo is a major risk.

972
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 1: You know, if your best possible situation if Rolmos your starter,

973
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: is if Grossman's on your bench because they're playing each other,

974
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: so you don't have to make that decision until Monday.

975
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: Otherwise you're gonna be making it on Sunday and you're

976
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: up to Creek. If you if you have a viable

977
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 1: guy like a like a hassleback or whoever, you start

978
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: him over Romo and his NFL Fantasy Live on Sirius
