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

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: Goals Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Lally.

3
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: He is Matt Williamson's time for the Fantasy Football Focus,

4
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: and we won't take a look around. It's Wednesday, so

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: we start to look around that some of the practice situations,

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: who is in, who is out, and how they affect

7
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: things for fantasy purposes. Um, this is an offensive line

8
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: situation here. Evan Neil with a neck was limited wednesday.

9
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, a lot of people thought he was a

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: plug and play right tackle. He's had his struggles. Not

11
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: that be better off without him. But they play the

12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: Packers this week, and you think they want to run

13
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: the football, but I would think there's a lot of

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: sacks and Packers d He's gonna be hind that's gonna

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: be ugly. Again, this is fantasy relevant because of what

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: this guy does. Darius Slay with the Forum was a

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: full participant in Wednesday's practice for the Eagles. But if

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: he's a little I'm pretty sure he follows and pretty

19
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: much anybody. Yeah right, I mean, So that's that's the

20
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: corners out there. He's near the top of the list

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: the ones to pay attention. Yeah, it's one you want

22
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: to try to avoid, um if possible for them. Yeah. Um,

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: but if he is uh a little banged up, that

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: certainly affects that a little bit. Definitely somebody good Uma Arizona. Yeah,

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: I don't know who you. I guess do you follow

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown in that situation? Yea, so maybe Faye Brown

27
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: a little bit this week. David and Joeku with a

28
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: knee issue did not practice on Wednesday. He's a key

29
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: guy for them. Yeah. I think he's an every week

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: starter advantace and they're playing the Chargers this week. Gonna

31
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: get some derwin James, Right, I've said this to a

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: hundred times. I'm torn between Pitts who also Joku Um.

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: Neither one's ideal or at the moment. Yeah, Boston Scott

34
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: with for the Eagles did not practice. You get a

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: rib issue. He's not really a fantasy. He's not that important.

36
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: But Miles Sanders had a huge game. I mean, if

37
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: you get one more guy out of the equation to them,

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: that helps him for that Brown's team again, Jadeveon Clowney's

39
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: still not practice. Their defense is pretty bad. It's a

40
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: rack right now. Miles Garrett's returned to practice Wednesday. Clowney

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: is still out. Um, yeah, I don't think. I don't

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: know the clown he's necessarily Mr Blood and guts. No, No,

43
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: I think he's a Mercenarry. Yeah. He goes to a

44
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: new team every year and for the most money and

45
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: thinks about himself. This is kind of a big deal

46
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: for the Eagles. Jordan's my Latta, their left tackle, did

47
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: not practice Wednesday. He's dealing shoulder, but he's a great player. Yeah,

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, their their lines good enough to make up

49
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: for it now. They designated Andre Dillard for return this week,

50
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: so he's eligible to come back, but they would you know,

51
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: he's coming back from a fractured for him, I doubt

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: that he's quite ready to go. And he's a big

53
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: drop off from Yeah. Uh. Their kicker, the Eagles kicker,

54
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: Jake Elliott, with an ankle injury, did not practices today.

55
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm all keep an eye on that these

56
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: things because I just assumed kickers are healthy and you know,

57
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: don't pick any a new one up or whatever, and yeah,

58
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: you gotta pay Uh. Tom Brady with the shoulder finger,

59
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: we could add divorce in there, did not practice on Wednesday. No,

60
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: you spotted that right away. I mean he was not

61
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: quite the same in the second half. Things got hurt

62
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: a little more when you're in that age, at a

63
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: age bracket. He's not too much younger than me. I

64
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: can tell you for a fact that it does right,

65
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: and he's a well conditioned athlete and all that, but

66
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm Betty sore. Fifty one passes he threw on, yeah,

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: six runs. Eric Armstead with the foot injury for the

68
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: forty did not practice last week and it didn't matter

69
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: at all, and it's a terrible Rams team, but the

70
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: nine or d is great if you're looking for streaming

71
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: tight ends. Hayden Hirst with a groin was limited on Wednesday.

72
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: He's been usable. They play the Ravens this week. Yeah,

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: he's been usable. I mean he's not bad. It was

74
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: a nice pick up for the first uh one. Juwan

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: Jennings with the forty is limited with an ankle injury Wednesday.

76
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: He's like the number three, yeah right right him and

77
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: Ray right kind of makes in a little bit. Tee

78
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: Higgins with an ankle was limited Wednesday. I think Taylor

79
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: the coach said something alonglines of we're We're hopeful, but

80
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: it's something. I mean, it's not a throwaway injury. No,

81
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: he's he has been get a little extra time with

82
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: this one. But yeah, the fact that he's not practicing

83
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: on Wednesday after playing last Thursday not a good sign.

84
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: H Dalton Schultz with the knee, was a full participant

85
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: on Wednesday for the Cowboys. Thought he was gonna be

86
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: out longer than that, so that, Uh, they're kind of

87
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: rounded in the shape a little bit. I don't think

88
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: it'll be back this week, but it could be next

89
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: and Gallops back. I still I think the Rams beat

90
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: him this week. You're not gonna go four no with

91
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. Yeah. Sometimes it's just things normalize a little

92
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: bit a little bit. Yeah, the Ramster needed. Julio Jones

93
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: limited Wednesday's practice with a knee issue. That's started to

94
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: get to kind of be a full house all of

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: a sudden. Yeah, you know, Godwin's back, Evans is back,

96
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,559
Speaker 1: but Godwin with the knew was limited Wednesday. Russell Gauge

97
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: with a hamstring limited Wednesday. I think Ages is worse

98
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: than Godwin's. Yeah, well Godman actually played last week. Yeah. Uh,

99
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson with ribs and a toe was a full

100
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: participant Wednesday for the Dolphins. He's their third receiver, but

101
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle with a groin, did not practice Wednesday. Yeah,

102
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: so if Waddle doesn't play, bump Cedric Wilson up. Yeah.

103
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's Bridgewater, And my my takeaway from that,

104
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: I think Bridgewater might be usable for fantasy. Not great,

105
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: but if Waddle doesn't play, I'm a little more interested

106
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: in Mostard. I'm a little more interested in Edmunds. Especially Mostard.

107
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: I think he's there one. But they they needed to

108
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: get back to run the ball a little bit. Yeah.

109
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: They also played the Jets this week. I just wonder if, well,

110
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: maybe they put Sauce Gardner on Tyreek Hill welcome the

111
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: league's He was the number one rookie on DJ's list

112
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: and he's an amazing prospect, and then they did on Chase. Yeah.

113
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's not much different, I guess, But man,

114
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: imagine following Tyreek Rana, especially ever he lines up all

115
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: over the place in the backfield. Sometimes he's running bet

116
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: before he hits the line scrimmage. Uh. David Montgomery with

117
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: the knee ankle and knee did not practice. I guess

118
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: you can certainly. Yeah, fu Khalil Herbert up again. Originally

119
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: they thought that'd be a long absence, and then I

120
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: thought then then they pulled the old week to week

121
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: non Yeah, you know, Uh A J. Green? Uh, Cliff

122
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: Kingsbury is happy, is hopeful. I should say the Green

123
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: will play in week five. He's a non factor. Yeah.

124
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean they didn't get who who's the better player

125
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: at this point, Julio Jones or A J. Green? Oh? Yeah,

126
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: I think Green runs better, but Julio is more physical

127
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: and is like a tight end. Now. Yeah, you know,

128
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean although you put A J. Green with Tom

129
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: b Yeah, I mean they're in the same neighborhood, same

130
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: draft class, great careers. Yeah, you mentioned Kyle Pitts with

131
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 1: a hamstring. He did not practice today. He is driving

132
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: me bonkers. Yeah, he's driving me bonkers too, and much

133
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: of it is just not enough attempts. You wonder was

134
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: he fighting something during that game too, because maybe three

135
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: he was good. Yeah, I mean not that excuses the usage.

136
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you only ran twelve routes. Twelve so hard

137
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: to catch the ball standing on the sidelines and running

138
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: twelve routes. I mean, if they targeted him every time.

139
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: It still would be a decent day. Yeah, I canna

140
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: do that. Russell Wilson was limited all week long, but

141
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: he will play with the shoulder injury against the Colts

142
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: tomorrow tomorrow. Yeah, okay, he was batter for this past week. Um,

143
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: where are you on like Sutton and Judy? Yeah? Yeah,

144
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: the backfields kind of right right? Yeah, Melvin doesn't play

145
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, Melvin Gordon is dealing with the neck,

146
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: but he's expected to play. Um. He's also a case

147
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: of the fumbles. Roshan Bateman, with a foot injury, did

148
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: not practice Wednesday, although John Harbo said he is hopeful

149
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: Bateman will be able to play. I don't see him playing. No.

150
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: I thought that was close to a done deal. That's not.

151
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: Devin DuVernay has three receiving touchdowns this season. He's not bad.

152
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: Is he there more? Is he the receiver to own

153
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: for them? I wouldn't go that far. Bateman has been

154
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: disappointing though that. He's definitely been disappointing. If he he

155
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: he has two long catches and not much else that

156
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: does have the usage, doesn't have the target, chair, all

157
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: those keywords. I think Duvernat might have more targets in him,

158
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: it's possible. I think there it's a little off, but

159
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: I think they're using Bateman like they did Marquis Brown,

160
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: which that's not who he is, Like he should be

161
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: a volume. I mould say Davante Adams, but that style

162
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: receiver as opposed to the burner. I'm looking it up

163
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: here as we speak, just to see how that that

164
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: those target breakdown are with the Ravens, and I bet

165
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: it's me thinks it's a good time to buy Bateman.

166
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: Well I was wrong about that. So Andrews has thirty six,

167
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: which is by far the most. Yeah, Bateman has twenty two,

168
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: but he only has eleven catches because of that where

169
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: they're targeting he's he's averaging twenty two yards a catch,

170
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: So I think it's deep down field, which he runs well,

171
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: but he's not a burner. Duverney only has thirteen targets,

172
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: but he has swelve catches, which is one more than Bateman.

173
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: He's also even. He's averaging four teen point three yards

174
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: per catch after the catch. Short quick throws on the

175
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: slot make a guy miss. He's a really good returner.

176
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: He's a good player. Yeah, we may not have given

177
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: him enough credit when we were bashing the Ravens receiver.

178
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I like Duverne coming out, but I just

179
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: don't't see Hm as a one or two. But they

180
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: just don't throw enough to the receivers too. I mean

181
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: it's Andrews. Yeah. Even if that Bateman has twenty two targets,

182
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: that's five a game, right, That's that's not enough. You

183
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: can't start him in fantasy right at that pace, even

184
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: if he's catching four or five of them. Yeah, I mean,

185
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: it's just makes him a wide receiver three, which there

186
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: John Dawson, with the hamstring, did not practice on Wednesday's

187
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: promising Yeah, it looks like Ron Rivera said earlier in

188
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: the week that Dawson could be out a week or two.

189
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if you'll get to it or not,

190
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: but it sure looks like Robinson the running back is

191
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: starting to well again. They they they activated him or

192
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: started his clock tick. That means they have three weeks

193
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: with which to activate him or they cannot activate him

194
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: and then he just goes on I R the rest

195
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: of the year. But him, aside Gibson starting to tread

196
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: down again. You know that there's an opportunity there. I

197
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: just think that backfield could get really messy and they

198
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: could end up splitting carries. And you still have uh

199
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: mckissic still in the in They know he's still involved.

200
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: It's just Brian Wyer with a concussion, did not practice

201
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Matt Jones also very questionable for that game.

202
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: Looks like Bailey's appy is going to be starting. Yeah,

203
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's a great defense. Do you would you

204
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: use any Patriots or both their backs? I'd use the

205
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: running backs. I would think more receivers, Imam Parker. I

206
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: don't want to use any of the receivers receivers, but

207
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: I I think both their backs or flexes or r

208
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: B two's Yeah, you could. You could use them both

209
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: if you have them both, and I mean they'll run

210
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: on the lines. Yeah, the lines good, you know. Andrews

211
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: Pete with a concussion, practiced Wednesday. Okay, how much time

212
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: he's missed this year, but he's missed substantial time. Alvin

213
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: Kamara with ribs just participating Wednesday. Good for him. Doesn't

214
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: play on the other side of the pond. Yeah, Jarvis

215
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Slander was limited Wednesday. He's got an ankle. Michael Thomas

216
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: with the toe did not practice Wednesday, and Jamis Winston

217
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 1: with his back did not participate in practice Wednesday. I

218
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: thought Winston would be back by now, you know, I'm

219
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: thinking they might. They might just let that rest for

220
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: a few weeks just because, Hey, Dalton played well, James

221
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: takes some time. You're still our guy. But I mean,

222
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: I have a lot of skin in the game, but

223
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: I would feed Kamara a ton of no matter who

224
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: those guys are and short throws, you know, I mean,

225
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: they don't run the ball particularly well. Right now, I

226
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: think Kamara needs to be the bell cow on the team.

227
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: We mentioned Isaiah McKenzie with a concussion not practicing, Dawson

228
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: Knox with the foot and hamstring not practicing Wednesday for

229
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: the Bills. That said, if mackenzie plays, he might be

230
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: worth rostering. Yeah, you know what I mean more than

231
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: that even reflexed. Yeah, no, he's shifty. Gave Davis a

232
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,359
Speaker 1: full participant. Keenan Allen with the hamstring did not practice Wednesday.

233
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: Now that could just be you know, you don't you

234
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: want to wait till Friday before you make any kind

235
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: of decision with Keenan Allen. Yeah, but he's frustrating. I mean,

236
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: you thought you'd have him by now. Yeah. Yeah. Uh,

237
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds with an ankle injury not practice Wednesday the

238
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: Lions with the Lions, Yeah, and Swift didn't. I'm sure. Yeah,

239
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: this is the receiver. They have two rends. Yeah, they've

240
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: got Reynolds wrapped like H d J. Chark did not practice.

241
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm Onnross St. Brown did not practice. I don't know

242
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: how they held a practice right, there was none of

243
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: the DeAndre Swift shoulder with the shoulder did not practice. Yeah,

244
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: I mean I guess they could lose in England with

245
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: no weapons. Yeah. Um, the initial tests on their Monross St.

246
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: Brown ankle we're supposedly encouraging, but he's now miss four

247
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: straight practices going back to last Sunday. Uh, that sounds

248
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: suspiciously like a high ankle, spraining of cordus and recording

249
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: the road wire. You're guessing here he came back and

250
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: played after that anchor may so, I'm not. I'm almost

251
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: certain though. They are round one of byes, which is

252
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: next week. They are, which is unfortunate, right, I mean

253
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: as a Swift owner, they kind of made it clear. Uh,

254
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: he'll we go to go week seven. Don't give me

255
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: that in the same neighborhood. Yeah. Hunter Renfro with concussion,

256
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: returned to practice Wednesday. Of course, that's just the first

257
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: step in returning. Um. He's a hard run start anymore, though.

258
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: This is Mac Jones with an ankle returned to practice Wednesday.

259
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: But Jones looked comfortable stepping into throws during light practice

260
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: session they were warming up again. The Patriots are one

261
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: of those teams that only lets reporters come out during

262
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: the stretch period. Don't tell me how good he look.

263
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: He's not playing this week. Yeah, it's gonna be sappy. Yeah. Uh.

264
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, with a concussion, did not practice Wednesday for

265
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: the Giants. They signed Davis Webb off to their practice web.

266
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: He might start. Yeah, I mean Jones is banged up too,

267
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams. Lions coach Dan Campbell said, Jamison Williams rehab

268
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: has been picking up the past three weeks. Well, I

269
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: would hope so that does. And tell me anything. Don't

270
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: run out and pick him up and say all the

271
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: Campbell quotes were positive today. Yeah, that's what he does.

272
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: Some coaches handle this kind of things differently. Now. Daniel

273
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: Jones did practice Wednesday, but he's dealing with an ankle again.

274
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: He got reps in both individual and team drills. Didn't

275
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: do anything. Um, I don't know our listeners do this,

276
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: but last week sae Quan had to play quarterback for

277
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: a while and run wild because they were at a

278
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: quarterback right right, Yeah, they're they're down to Yeah. I

279
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: don't know that you want to put like part of

280
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones game is his mobility? Did you take that

281
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: away from him against the Packers. But it still might

282
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: be better than the dude you just signed off the

283
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: practice squad. It was and Davis Webb he was with

284
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: you last year. Yeah. Yeah, Richie James was an ankle,

285
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: did not practice Wednesday or getting to the Giants wide

286
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: receivers that didn't practice. It's basically along Kenny Golladay with

287
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: the need didn't practice. Uh, don't see any other guys

288
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: on there. Some but the others must have Tony and

289
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: Robinson to be interesting. Yeah, the last a week, Jonathan

290
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: Taylor won't play Thursday night against the Broncos. Don't just

291
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: plug the heam behind. There is no handcuff for Jonathan

292
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: and I think Pittman is the only one usable on

293
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: that team. Yeah, and he's gonna get some certain and

294
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, like I mean, if if you're really really

295
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: stretched and need something, maybe Philip you take a dart

296
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: throw of Philip Lindsay against his old team. Maybe. I mean,

297
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: Hines might catch eight balls, but I mean his ceilings,

298
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: but he might not. And that's he's not gonna get

299
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: you anything. Yeah, he's not gonna get you anything on

300
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: the ground. No, Lindsay will probably be the one, right,

301
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: I mean, in terms of ball carry, it probably gets

302
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: Hank carries and Kinds will get five. Yeah, they also

303
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: get Deon Jackson there too. He'll sprinkle a couple of

304
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: him and yeah, and it's not good team that defense

305
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: are playing is decent um. Dwayne Brown was designated to

306
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: return for the Jets. They need him. That would go along. Yeah,

307
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean that he's back this week. Again,

308
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: that just gets the day window. But I thinkbody understands

309
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: that rule exactly. Yeah. Laviska Chennault with the hamstring did

310
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: not practice Wednesday. I don't expect to see him. Their

311
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: offense is broken. They don't run any plays either. The

312
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: Bears designated Nikil Harry to return, so it starts his

313
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: twenty one day window. Zack Wilson with an ankle, was

314
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: limited during Wednesday's practice. It was the need that he

315
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: was on the I RM yeah, or was out with

316
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: So this is a new injury and he didn't seem

317
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: hobbold against the Steelers. I don't know what's up with

318
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, Um, that doesn't matter to me. If

319
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: I own Alijah more right than or whatever. You know.

320
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel with an illness did not practice Wednesday. That's

321
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: interesting because you know, I mean, he's been pretty he's

322
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: a starter. I think he's the top thirty six receiver.

323
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: He's been more consistent than than McLarin. Yeah, McLaren always

324
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: finished his games late, never scores. You know, they're they're

325
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: tough to watch. Bruce Hall is deal with according to

326
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: Robert Solid Nicks and Bruises Uh, he's limited participant. They

327
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: listened as a knee injury. So keep an eye on that, definitely.

328
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if my chance he doesn't go, Carter is

329
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: really absolutely bump him way up your list. Yeah. Xavian

330
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: Howard with a groin his day to day they play

331
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: the Jets. The Jets, Okay, I'm warming up. Jones is

332
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: still out, Yeah, right, right, right, So Howard's one of

333
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: those corners you care about. Yea. Yeah. Cameron Break with

334
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: the concussion, did not practice on Wednesday. Tight end with

335
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. Um. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Dak

336
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: Prescott thumb isn't fully ready to return. I think Jerry

337
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: Jones was being a little optimistic with with his I

338
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: heard the reporters say that you can't hold a football, right,

339
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: it's kind of a big deal, kind of a big deal. Yeah.

340
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: I would not counting back this week, Maybe next week, maybe,

341
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: who knows. Johnny Smith will miss some time, according to

342
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport, with a low ankle sprain. Do you bump

343
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry up because of that? Yeah? I guess. I

344
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: mean Hunter Henry is not real exciting, that's sure, But um,

345
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: he's probably in the fifteenish neighborhood in the tight end world,

346
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: the Robert Tanya neighborhood or something like that, you know, Okay, yeah, yeah,

347
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: um yeah, I think that's pretty much it for our

348
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: major injuries this week. Yeah. Um, Cardinals wive Dandy Isabella, Yeah,

349
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: total bust drafted him over DK Metcal Yeah, bad bad move,

350
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: bad move. Hopkins coming back for them soon as of note,

351
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's week seven, but at least it's soon. Yeah,

352
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: I mean they're getting closer. Oh and the Ravens designated

353
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards to return. Oh yeah, I knew there was

354
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: one one with that. If they have Edwards and Dobbins back,

355
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: it may start running football a little bit better. But

356
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: Dobbins is a a starter to you, isn't he. I gotta

357
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: start him this week? Like, I mean, do you think

358
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 1: he's the top twenty four back because because of volume

359
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: they're playing in Bengals he catches the football, which is nice.

360
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: I wish the more. But yeah, yeah, so yeah, I

361
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: mean you know he's sure you have to use him

362
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: if you have them. Yeah. I mean at least you've

363
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: got to see a game now where he did have

364
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,239
Speaker 1: some he's kind of over the holme now. Yeah, so

365
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: I think he's a full go. We'll see what happens

366
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: with Gush Edwards here again, this just starts just twenty

367
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: one day. Um, he's just been designated. I'm also interested.

368
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: I know we talked about yesterday, but I am interested

369
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: in Boone or Murray tomorrow night. I'm not with Murray.

370
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: And here's why I put away for a claiming for Boone.

371
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: He just played Sunday in London in London, and he's

372
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: a new team and he's coming to a new team,

373
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: So he flew from London basically, yeah, back to the

374
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: United to stay. So and you've got on a plane

375
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: to go to Denver. I mean, what kind of shape

376
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 1: is he going to be? That's gonna be wrong to

377
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: play in. They to play in Denver on Thursday night,

378
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: not happening. Boon might be a good flex option play

379
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: this week. That makes some sense. I saw this today

380
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: and I hadn't realized it. But of Sparks scores or

381
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: Boone was only behind se Quan in his rookie class. Interesting,

382
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't think of him in that light. I don't either.

383
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of a double thinking, like maybe I'll look

384
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: at him in a little different view. Not that I'm

385
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: super excited about him, but no, he passes last week,

386
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: we're excited about Boon from Animal House. I think, yeah, there, yeah, anyways,

387
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,520
