Speaker 1: do do Yeah. This is the Fantasy Best Friends Forever
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Readio Network. Alongside for Franky Stample,
Speaker 1: I am Greg Susman. Fragg what's going on? Money? Not much? Great?
Speaker 1: You're getting ready for Week eight not to hit the
Speaker 1: midpoint of the fantasy football season. Already we are there.
Speaker 1: We eight is upon us. My friend on Times on
Speaker 1: Times Jets Indeed, Let's go Jets said, whatever, it's not sure.
Speaker 1: I love people say it just doesn't It just doesn't happen,
Speaker 1: not so much doesn't matter to them. On the show
Speaker 1: today we appreciate you watching the Pursuit channel and checking
Speaker 1: us out. No matter where you're watching us, we say
Speaker 1: hello and thanks for joining us. Let me get in
Speaker 1: right into it, Frank, game, my game. We're gonna go
Speaker 1: through it. What we need to know, what we need
Speaker 1: to watch, Who we start, who we play, who we bench.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's do it Denver, Kansas City in Gannasee
Speaker 1: star everybody. Patrick Mahomes there, you go start everybody that
Speaker 1: include Case Kingdom for Yeah, if you're play in a
Speaker 1: super flex quarterback league, then he's in play. Obviously in
Speaker 1: two quarterback leagues. Anything other than that, um, unless you're
Speaker 1: like really hurting because of the bye weeks. I haven't
Speaker 1: at QB eight team right now. Again, there's a big
Speaker 1: total in this game. The Broncos are ten point dogs
Speaker 1: in this game in Kansas City, so they're likely going
Speaker 1: to be chasing points. I will say I feel like
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense has played better a little bit. Uh.
Speaker 1: Certainly last week we saw a bad Andy Dalton show up.
Speaker 1: But it's about that time a year where we get
Speaker 1: bad Andy Dalton. Um. So I don't know that the
Speaker 1: Chief's defense is the cake walk that it was earlier
Speaker 1: on in the season. What case, Keenum is in a
Speaker 1: good place here and because of that, Emmanuel Sanders checks
Speaker 1: in as a borderline low end wide receiver one high
Speaker 1: and wide receiver too. That he was dealing with that
Speaker 1: ankle spring after the Thursday night game a week ago
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals, but he's had ten days to recover.
Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine for that. I look for
Speaker 1: him to exploit that matchup the Marius Thomas. Again, the
Speaker 1: targets have been a little bit inconsistent. The team is
Speaker 1: trying to shop him. Don't know if he's gonna be
Speaker 1: with the team come this time next week. So he's
Speaker 1: like a high end wide receiver three, just because of
Speaker 1: the matchup here and uh with the Broncos. If if
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman is out, then we're looking at Philip Lindsay
Speaker 1: as an RB one because the Chiefs absolutely bleed fantasy
Speaker 1: points to running backs, especially past catching running backs, and
Speaker 1: that's where I think Philip Lindsay would be able to
Speaker 1: take advantage. I've heard people say Devantay Booker maybe a
Speaker 1: sneaky play this weekend. You bind into that in a
Speaker 1: full PPR. We've seen that he's consistently been on the field.
Speaker 1: He's still playing around thirty percent of the snaps. It's
Speaker 1: been a you know, three men committee here with this team.
Speaker 1: We see a lot of Philip Lindsay. But when a
Speaker 1: team is trailing, which obviously we are expecting in this one,
Speaker 1: we see more Devontae Booker. So if you're in PPR leagues,
Speaker 1: I think he's a low end flex option. I don't
Speaker 1: really want to have to depend on it. I don't
Speaker 1: think he has a high ceiling. But again, in PPR,
Speaker 1: he might be able to catch you know, five for
Speaker 1: fifty and that will help you. He's a bye weeek replacement,
Speaker 1: nothing more than that, in my opinion. Yeah, I tend
Speaker 1: to agree with you, Devantay Booker, nothing more. He doesn't
Speaker 1: really carry the ball at all anymore whenever, like Jalen Richard,
Speaker 1: like Smart, doesn't do anything on the ground. He has
Speaker 1: a season high of twenty four rushing yards this season.
Speaker 1: But he's giving you a safe floor for PPR. So,
Speaker 1: you know, for Royce Freeman is out, that's just one
Speaker 1: less running back here. Some kind of muddle the waters.
Speaker 1: For Denver, we'll get a lot of Lindsay and if
Speaker 1: they're trailing, We'll get a lot of Davontae Booker as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: So on the other side of that game in Kansas City,
Speaker 1: you joked, play everybody, Does everybody include Sammy Watkins? So
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, Sammy Watkins said, play everybody. Play everybody except
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins. Now, I mean, look, I have a decision
Speaker 1: that I'm faced with right now, Chris Godwin versus Sammy Watkins.
Speaker 1: I have Chris Godwin a little bit higher in the rankings,
Speaker 1: so I have him in the lineup as of right now.
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins just outside of my top thirty six. So
Speaker 1: he's a low end wide receiver three. And mind you,
Speaker 1: that's with the four teams on AA by this week, Greg. So,
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins hasn't gotten the end zone for a while now. Uh.
Speaker 1: Seemed like he needed a lot of garbage time last
Speaker 1: week against the Bengals to really get involved and help
Speaker 1: fantasy own. His usage just has been so inconsistent. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of tire you kill, It's a lot of
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, it's a lot of Kareem Hunt. He's you know,
Speaker 1: at best fourth and pecking order in terms of targets
Speaker 1: and usage. On this team. So I'm not very excited
Speaker 1: about Sammy Watkins. UM, he's he's a low and wide
Speaker 1: receiver three. That's pretty much it. I probably agree that
Speaker 1: he's a low and wide receiver three. This guys I
Speaker 1: have just ahead of him, Taylor Gabriel, Marvin Jones, Sterling Shepard,
Speaker 1: Shawn Jackson, Geronimo Allison like all those guys. More. Okay,
Speaker 1: so there you go, uh for you imagine the Raiders
Speaker 1: and I wanted to actually quickly move on to open
Speaker 1: because I think it's a really really interesting spot for
Speaker 1: them here. This week they played at four o'clock and
Speaker 1: they are hosting the Indianapolis Colts. No Mary Cooper, no
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch, totally different team than we saw the last time, uh,
Speaker 1: this team play before. Thereby, they have talked up Doug
Speaker 1: Martin this week. They have talked up Martavis Bryant this week.
Speaker 1: That's so it doesn't get more John Gruden than that. Greg.
Speaker 1: Do you trust either Doug Martin or more Davis Bryant?
Speaker 1: Where are they in your rankings? So Doug Martin checks
Speaker 1: in as a low end RB two, high end flex options.
Speaker 1: And that's because what they've everything they've said is that
Speaker 1: he's going to fill in for that Marshawn Lynch role.
Speaker 1: Lynch a running back who had seen over fifty percent
Speaker 1: of the snaps for the Raiders this year. He was
Speaker 1: top twelve in the NFL in terms of red zone carry,
Speaker 1: so he was getting used in that part of the field. Look,
Speaker 1: if not for opportunity, that's that's all comes down for too,
Speaker 1: for Doug Martin, because we haven't seen him be effective
Speaker 1: the past couple of years. So if he didn't have
Speaker 1: this opportunity, obviously we would not be excited or I
Speaker 1: mean relatively excited about Doug Martin. It's just based on
Speaker 1: usage and opportunity here. So you know, I think he
Speaker 1: gets around fifteen sixteen touches in this game. The Indianapolis
Speaker 1: Colts are They're not a bad defense, they're not a
Speaker 1: great defense. They're kind of middle of the pack. So
Speaker 1: I think because all those reasons, we have a close
Speaker 1: point spread here. The Colts favored by three points in Oakland,
Speaker 1: so I think it's you know, it's not a blowout
Speaker 1: by any means. And I think we see we see
Speaker 1: some Doug Martin, Martavis Bryant, he slots right into that
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper role. I think there's gonna be games where
Speaker 1: he has big upside, but there's also gonna be games
Speaker 1: where he just goes missing. I think Jordy Nelson is
Speaker 1: really the guy that you want to zone in on here.
Speaker 1: Over the past month, the Colts have allowed the tenth
Speaker 1: most Fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. I think Jordy
Speaker 1: Nelson is the guy that kind of has that safer
Speaker 1: floor now, the consistent targets, especially in the red zone.
Speaker 1: He led all Raiders wide receivers in red zone targets
Speaker 1: even before the Amari Cooper trade, So we probably see
Speaker 1: even more of Jordy Nelson in that part of the field.
Speaker 1: Um so Amari coup um. Martinvis Bryant is just outside
Speaker 1: of my top thirty six. Again, he's similar to Sammy Watkins.
Speaker 1: He's very boom er bust. I kind of if I
Speaker 1: picked him up. I want to take a wait and
Speaker 1: see approach. Let me see how the Raiders wide receivers
Speaker 1: are deployed, how they're used, How was Seth Roberts used
Speaker 1: with the departure of Mark Cooper before I get him
Speaker 1: in my line up. Yeah, So here's where I am
Speaker 1: with both of those guys, don't Martin. I think you
Speaker 1: have him ranked in the right spot. He's a low
Speaker 1: n RV, too high end flex and if his kid
Speaker 1: gets out of hand, that's where we're gonna see too much,
Speaker 1: too much, We're gonna see more Jalen Richard. And ultimately
Speaker 1: I think that in a PVR league, and you've said
Speaker 1: it all week, Frankie, that you want Jayla Rechard in
Speaker 1: that PVR league. But if they can keep it close,
Speaker 1: they're gonna ride to Martin. They really are. John Garden
Speaker 1: is that dumb? And I understand that opportunity does not
Speaker 1: always lead to production. We've heard that a lot. They're
Speaker 1: going to give Doug Martin every chance to be too,
Speaker 1: every chance to be productive, to be that Marshall Lynn
Speaker 1: he is they are. Look, we're going from one old
Speaker 1: running back to I mean, it seems like Doug Martin
Speaker 1: is old. He's not really old. I don't even think
Speaker 1: he's thirty years old yet, but I mean he has
Speaker 1: a lot of wear. And Terry's been in the league
Speaker 1: for a while. We've seen, you know, two monster seasons
Speaker 1: out of Doug Martin, and the rest has been not good.
Speaker 1: So the Raiders offensive line has underachieved this year. Marshall
Speaker 1: Lynch was really you know, he was playing well and
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it was in spite of the offensive line,
Speaker 1: but he still had it. Like we're seeing a renaissance
Speaker 1: of old running backs. This here, Adrian Peterson another one.
Speaker 1: These guys could still play. Now we're about to find
Speaker 1: out if Doug Martin could do the same. And when
Speaker 1: it comes to Marrow Tavis Bryant, their offens coordinator Greg
Speaker 1: Olson on Friday talked up Mark Tavis Bryant, saying, you
Speaker 1: just look at the build and look at what he is.
Speaker 1: And he goes in the starting lineup and he is
Speaker 1: the perfect person to replace Amor Marie Cooper. With Seth
Speaker 1: Roberts goes to the inside, Julie Nelson keeps his spot.
Speaker 1: We all know how talented mar Tavis Bryan is. Off
Speaker 1: the field, issues have certainly hindered him. He got cut
Speaker 1: by the Raiders earlier this year for reasons we still
Speaker 1: don't now. But last week he played a season high
Speaker 1: seventy two percent of the snaps and maybe they believe
Speaker 1: in him, or at least Derek Carror believes in him.
Speaker 1: We know he's already the deep play threat. Will there
Speaker 1: be enough constituency. I think it's possible. I want to.
Speaker 1: I want mar Tavis Bryant. That's why I picked him up.
Speaker 1: That's once I spent some money going out and getting him.
Speaker 1: But if you can, I also want to wait and
Speaker 1: see if it will be real. You look at the
Speaker 1: schedule coming up, there's opportunities for mar Tavis Bryant to
Speaker 1: do something. So I might have had him if I
Speaker 1: was doing rankings, Frank, I might have had him in
Speaker 1: the top thirty six weeks because of the bye weeks.
Speaker 1: But ideally it's wait and see for me. The players
Speaker 1: that have just ahead of him, Christian Kirk, Robbie Anderson,
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, Taylor Gabriel and all those other players that
Speaker 1: we mentioned are just ahead of Sammy Watkins. So I think,
Speaker 1: like as I said, I would probably have him in
Speaker 1: the top thirty six, Like I can see myself putting
Speaker 1: in front of some of those guys, like it's very close.
Speaker 1: It's very close. Differently, but in my opinion, Christian Kirk
Speaker 1: has provided a slave a gred safe floor to this point.
Speaker 1: Going up a good matchup again forty Niners Robby Anderson
Speaker 1: coming off a game where he had double digit targets.
Speaker 1: He's banged up. You gotta see whether he's gonna go
Speaker 1: in this game against the Chicago Bears. But based on
Speaker 1: the the injuries to the Jets and the fact that
Speaker 1: we saw as many targets as we did a week ago,
Speaker 1: and that the Jets are likely going to be playing
Speaker 1: from behind and throwing the ball, That's why I have
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson. We've seen more of Robbie than we have Martavis. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Robby Anderson hasn't called more than three passes in
Speaker 1: all year. Well, he only needs one, Craig, he only
Speaker 1: needs one, It's true. But we've also seen Martavis Bryant
Speaker 1: dropped that one this season, and yeah, so I mean, look,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of parallels between him and Mark Cooper.
Speaker 1: He's just gonna fill in perfectly anyway. I like Mark
Speaker 1: Avis Bryant, and I think he picked him up. It's
Speaker 1: gonna pay dividends down the stretch for you. I really
Speaker 1: do like Mark Aavis Bryant this upcoming UH week and
Speaker 1: going for on the other side for the Colts. Marlon
Speaker 1: Mack did practice on Friday, so he should be able
Speaker 1: to play and be ready to rock, which is a
Speaker 1: very very good thing for Colts, Colts fans and more
Speaker 1: than Mac owners. Eric Ebron, He's looked good for most
Speaker 1: of this season, but Frankie Jack Doyle is expected to
Speaker 1: return in this one. What is that gonna do to
Speaker 1: every bronze value? Well, it might hurt Eric Ebron between
Speaker 1: the twenties for sure. I think that's where Jack Doyle emerged,
Speaker 1: especially last year. And even in the first game, Jack
Speaker 1: Doyle was targeted a ton, So he's kind of that
Speaker 1: safety blanket for Andrew Luck. But you know, Eric Ebron
Speaker 1: had really become that guy too. Andrew Luck is not
Speaker 1: going to shy away from throwing to his tight ends,
Speaker 1: even if he has two of them on the field.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get both of those guys involved. I think
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle is more of the PPR guy. I don't
Speaker 1: know that I'm throwing him into my lineup right away
Speaker 1: this week his first game back. I kind of want
Speaker 1: to see what he does. I still trust Eric Ebron,
Speaker 1: especially in the red zone. Anytime they get inside the
Speaker 1: red zone. Eric Ebron has been Andrew Luck's guy. What
Speaker 1: do we say about tight ends? Every single week? Greg
Speaker 1: All we need is a touchdown. Eric Ebron has been
Speaker 1: that guy all season long that we have depended on
Speaker 1: for touchdowns. Who knew, right, Eric Ebron? It seems kind
Speaker 1: of crazy. Um, Marlon Mack, Look, this is a great
Speaker 1: matchup against the Oakland Raiders. Over the past month, no
Speaker 1: team has allowed, on average more fantasy points per game
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs than the Oakland Raiders. Marlon Mack
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction in terms of his play
Speaker 1: and usage, certainly not the injury, and the Oakland Raiders
Speaker 1: defense has been trending in the wrong direction. So um,
Speaker 1: it looks like a match made in heaven for fantasy
Speaker 1: just assuming Marlon Mack is healthy. Great, Okay, so there
Speaker 1: you there you go, trending in the right direction for
Speaker 1: those close running back Andrew Luck, by the way, he's
Speaker 1: been unbelievable over the past several weeks, throwing four touchdowns
Speaker 1: and I believe three in the last four games. The
Speaker 1: other one he had three in. Okay, we'll take that
Speaker 1: over twenty points in every outing. So Andrew Luck for
Speaker 1: fantasy purposes, this dude is all the way back and
Speaker 1: if he took a shot on him later in your draft,
Speaker 1: it certainly has worked out thus far. Yeah, we had
Speaker 1: to scare early on in the season not throwing, but look,
Speaker 1: there's just a ton of volume here. The emergence of
Speaker 1: Marlon Mac might limit and I say limit very you know,
Speaker 1: vaguely here with Andrew Luck, limit his upside because he
Speaker 1: might not throw as much as he was early on
Speaker 1: the season, you know, fifty plus times per game. But
Speaker 1: I still have him as my QB five. I'm not
Speaker 1: scared of the Raiders defense. We could see some points
Speaker 1: scored on both sides here. Um, and Andrew Luck has
Speaker 1: been getting it done in this new Frank Reich offense.
Speaker 1: So yeah, having QB five, I you're gonna continue to
Speaker 1: just roll them out. Trust him as a QB one. Okay,
Speaker 1: So there you go, Andrew Luck a QB one here
Speaker 1: this week, continuing on four weeks eight, taking a game
Speaker 1: by game and letting you know what you need to
Speaker 1: do this week. Some of the Giants, right, Giants and Washington.
Speaker 1: I've said it a lot, Frank, I really like Adrian
Speaker 1: Peterson this week. Absolutely, it's a good matchup, especially with
Speaker 1: Snacks Harrison shipped out to Detroit. He was the run
Speaker 1: stuffer on early downs for the Giants, and the Giants
Speaker 1: actually hadn't been that great against running backs this year overall.
Speaker 1: I mean they were giving up solid production to opposing
Speaker 1: running backs. Now you get Adrian Peterson, who I mean,
Speaker 1: who would have thought he is the focal point of
Speaker 1: this Washington offense right now? If Chris Thompson plays, maybe
Speaker 1: he takes away you know, five six carries, will get
Speaker 1: a few targets. He'll do what he does. But Adrian Peterson,
Speaker 1: if you go down through the game, lock, I mean,
Speaker 1: the guy has been you know, fifteen plus touches quite consistently.
Speaker 1: I mean we've gotten you know, a few games this
Speaker 1: year of over twenty carries for Adrian Peterson. So a
Speaker 1: great matchup against the Giants, very close spread here. I
Speaker 1: actually think that Washington wins this game. And if they
Speaker 1: do that, of course they do. And if they do
Speaker 1: that and they're playing ahead, it's going to be on
Speaker 1: a lot of Adrian Peters in here. Greg, He's a
Speaker 1: lowe RB one for me. This week might be aggressive,
Speaker 1: but it's a good matchup, especially with no snack s Aarrison.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it. This is
Speaker 1: the week Jorder refinds zem probably not well. Look, uh
Speaker 1: it's it should be able to happen again the Giants.
Speaker 1: We continue to think that the Giants, this Giants defense
Speaker 1: is the Giants defense of last year, who was just
Speaker 1: getting demolished by Tenants. It hasn't necessarily been the case.
Speaker 1: They haven't been that bad against tight ends. Have been
Speaker 1: good last two weeks. Touchdown of the tight end. I
Speaker 1: believe the score this week now Engen's last. You're not
Speaker 1: score this week? All right? Well, the week before Zacher no,
Speaker 1: that scored a touchdown. But to be honest, the Giants
Speaker 1: evens has fared well against tight ends. Alec Ogletree not
Speaker 1: expected to play for the Giants this week. Obviously. No
Speaker 1: Damon Harrison defense. How does this spread so close? Dude?
Speaker 1: What is going on? Is this? It's just just the
Speaker 1: home field? Here we go. Yeah, this is gonna be
Speaker 1: like Thursday night all over again, screaming I eat to
Speaker 1: do one thing and you do the other thing. Um.
Speaker 1: Also for Washington, I don't think he's the past catchers.
Speaker 1: You can start for the New York Giants. I think
Speaker 1: you start everybody like normal, right, you start Beckham, obviously,
Speaker 1: you start se Kwon Barkley, Sterling Shepherd, Evan Ingram, what
Speaker 1: are you thinking? I like Sterling Shepherd as a low
Speaker 1: end wide receiver three. I mentioned I have him ranked
Speaker 1: ahead of Sammy Watkins, ahead of March Havis Bryant, just
Speaker 1: ahead of Marvin Jones. I just think there's a little
Speaker 1: bit more consistency there and it's a good match. I
Speaker 1: have him as wide receiver thirty five right now, growing
Speaker 1: up against Washington was allowed the third most Fantasy points
Speaker 1: to opposing wide receivers over the last month of the season. Greg,
Speaker 1: So it's yeah, status quo. On the Giant side, you're
Speaker 1: starting Odell Beckham, You're starting uh se Kwon Barkley, Eli
Speaker 1: Manning low nd QB two for Super Flex or two
Speaker 1: quarterback leagues, and then Sterling Shepherd checks in as a
Speaker 1: watch RETEV three. I trust him a lot more than
Speaker 1: I trust Evan Ingram, who just played his first game
Speaker 1: this past week against the Falcons that he returned in
Speaker 1: and honestly did not too much. So I like Sterling
Speaker 1: Show three. We will continue on. We'll go game by
Speaker 1: game as we like to do here. Final episode of
Speaker 1: the week, Fantasy Best Friends Forever. We're rocking and rolling.
Speaker 1: We're also gonna take your calls cut off a little

Speaker 1: Fantasy best Friends Forever Fantasy Sports Radio Network here with
Speaker 1: you live from a studio thirty four. That is Frank Stample.
Speaker 1: I am Greg saucerman. Frankie. I feel like it's only
Speaker 1: fair we hit on the Giants, tend to the Jets.
Speaker 1: Jay E t Juts Juts Jets love it. There you go, Gregy,
Speaker 1: how about that jump on while you can. Yeah, quarterback
Speaker 1: in the future. You imagined Robbie Anderson a little while ago.
Speaker 1: Are you confident he please? Yeah, I know that he's
Speaker 1: The practice has been inconsistent dealing with the ankle injury. UM.
Speaker 1: I think he does. They don't really have much else here. Again,
Speaker 1: we'll have that's something that we'll have to watch. But
Speaker 1: if he does, the the usage was there one week
Speaker 1: ago against Minnesota where he saw ten targets in that game,
Speaker 1: did not convert those. But again, as we've mentioned, with
Speaker 1: him and Martavis Bryant, very similar players. All he needs
Speaker 1: is one, right, he needs one, a forty yard touchdown,
Speaker 1: a fifty yard touchdown, something like that. UM Vegas expects
Speaker 1: the Jets to be playing from behind in this game
Speaker 1: against the Bears, a Bears defense, which you know, if
Speaker 1: you're going to attack them, it's going to be. Through
Speaker 1: the year, they've been very stout against the run. So
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson checks in. You know, again, he's in that range,
Speaker 1: that same Sammy Watkins range, that same Martavis Bryant range.
Speaker 1: He's just outside of my top thirty six. He's very
Speaker 1: boomer bust. He's a low and wide receiver. Three Okay,
Speaker 1: can you start Jamaine Curse this week? He's even further
Speaker 1: behind them. But you know, if so, I'm sorry. I
Speaker 1: literally asked you a question of cutting you off immediately.
Speaker 1: It's hard, it's this is a tough situation. UM, So
Speaker 1: for me, I'm setting my lineup. I was. I have
Speaker 1: a choice between the three guys this week, Jermaine Curse,
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide, and Martavis Bryant, And I don't know what
Speaker 1: to do in all honest thing right now. I have
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide in there hoping that he gets touched at me,
Speaker 1: but you know, I don't know. And it's a bad
Speaker 1: matchup against the Eagles too. It's a it's a terrible matchup, actually,
Speaker 1: the worst matchup that you could get outside of that
Speaker 1: one game against se Kwon Barkley. The Eagles defense has
Speaker 1: picked up right what they left off from last year
Speaker 1: in terms of their run defense. Pass defense not as good,
Speaker 1: but the Eagles have been stout against the run. And
Speaker 1: you know, you don't know what the usage is gonna
Speaker 1: be like between Carlos Hyde and T. J. Yeldon. And again,
Speaker 1: in a bad matchup, I would actually go with Martavis Bryant.
Speaker 1: You let those three I have him ranked higher than
Speaker 1: Jermaine Curse, and this seems like it might be this
Speaker 1: is kind of like a trap fantasy game for Jermine Curse,
Speaker 1: right because he let everyone down last week, So now
Speaker 1: everyone's taking him out of the lineup. What everything everyother
Speaker 1: chase Sam Donald into throw to nothing changed. That's that's
Speaker 1: the thing. Like for all the reasons, exactly, for all
Speaker 1: the reasons we like Jermaine Curse last week, those reasons
Speaker 1: still remain. There's no Quincy correct. Jermaine Curse played a
Speaker 1: ton of snaps last week, just wasn't targeted. He's gonna
Speaker 1: play in the slot again, and you know that's typically
Speaker 1: where Sam Donald throws too. But it's just this seems
Speaker 1: like a fantasy trap game. Maybe I haven't ranked too low.
Speaker 1: So here's my problem. It's that as much as everything
Speaker 1: pointed to Jermaine Curse doing what he we expected him
Speaker 1: to do and then coming back this week, what are
Speaker 1: they just don't like? What are they to say the
Speaker 1: thing that last week, I'm gonna take this another zero,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm nervous to do that. I'm nervous, of course.
Speaker 1: More Davis Priant, not like Marie Cooper, has been doing anything,
Speaker 1: so maybe more tam is Brian does nothing. What am
Speaker 1: I doing? It's hard, man, It's really really hard. I
Speaker 1: wanted And the other thing that I wanted to do
Speaker 1: was which everyone is, you guys, I didn't play. I
Speaker 1: wanted to drop them my next waiver run and pick
Speaker 1: up a defense for next week so I don't have
Speaker 1: to deal everybody else. Spending on defense is like I've
Speaker 1: been kind of in on that recently, later in the week,
Speaker 1: picking up you know, the Devens want to pick up
Speaker 1: for next week. Let's just sticking with our theme here.
Speaker 1: Whoever's facing the Bills Jay t s Jet Jets Jet
Speaker 1: next week October bro October is not October anymore. Last
Speaker 1: week it will be remember Ummer, Remember Rember, Remember they
Speaker 1: faced the Dolphins and the Bills back to back like
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, but but I don't know what I
Speaker 1: should seem like, I'm gonna know it. If I dropped
Speaker 1: your main curse and then he goes off, we have
Speaker 1: to imagine Quincy and Noon was gonna be back at
Speaker 1: some point to right, like if you maybe not l
Speaker 1: after the bye. So maybe I'll start your main curse
Speaker 1: next week. I don't know it depends what your bye
Speaker 1: weeks w look like to he is. He is a
Speaker 1: bye week replacement wide receiver who we thought how to
Speaker 1: safe floor until last week when he gave everybody a donut.
Speaker 1: He should have a safe floor based on the way
Speaker 1: the Jets passing name has been used, based on who
Speaker 1: Sam Donald has typically targeted in this offense. Um, he's
Speaker 1: a bye week guy. That's that's all he is. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have the ments upside. We thought he had a
Speaker 1: safe floor and he led us down last week. It
Speaker 1: was brutal, man, it was brutal. On the other side
Speaker 1: of these Jets game, you have the Chicago Bears. It's
Speaker 1: in Chicago. A lot of people feeling that Mitchell Drew
Speaker 1: Bisky is the truth. Alan Robinson not expected to play.
Speaker 1: We'll see if what happens. You mentioned Taylor Gabriel, he
Speaker 1: becomes probably a must start, I would think with no
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson. Yeah, the Jets secondary has been struggling mightily.
Speaker 1: They're allowing the fifth most Fantasy points to opposing wide
Speaker 1: receivers this season. They've allowed multiple touchdowns to wide receivers
Speaker 1: in three straight games. So if Alan Robinson doesn't go,
Speaker 1: certainly Taylor Gabriel steps up, and I think that opens
Speaker 1: things up even for Anthony Miller, rookie who you know,
Speaker 1: just saw seven targets this past week, you know, and
Speaker 1: the Jets have struggled against the slot specifically, so I
Speaker 1: know Anthony Miller has you know, lined up there for
Speaker 1: the Bears. Offen says, well, so, if if Allen Robinson
Speaker 1: is out, Anthony Miller becomes a sneaky play both from
Speaker 1: a seasonal and a DFS perspective. I'm sure that his
Speaker 1: salary is a bargain basement. But if Allen Robinson does
Speaker 1: suit up, he checks in as a you know, high
Speaker 1: end wide receiver three, low and wide receiver two. Because
Speaker 1: this is a very good matchup against the Jet secondary.
Speaker 1: And if we like their we like their pass catchers.
Speaker 1: Day night, we got Electrobisky once again. Absolutely, I think
Speaker 1: we do. He's a low one QB one. I have
Speaker 1: him as QB eleven right now. I think we do.
Speaker 1: Uh want uh Seattle and Detroit. Matthew Stafford at home
Speaker 1: taking on Russell Wilson this week Golden Tate revenge game,
Speaker 1: Well there you go, Golden's hate revenge. Gotta love it,
Speaker 1: gotta love it. Did you find the angle. Nope, Nope,
Speaker 1: we're not doing that. Nope. All right, Golden Tate, Um,
Speaker 1: Look he's the safest one of this passing attack. Kenny Golladay,
Speaker 1: uh is more of the you know, he's kind of
Speaker 1: turned into the Marvin Jones. He's the guy who's scoring touchdowns,
Speaker 1: he makes big plays. Marvin Jones is kind of falling
Speaker 1: of the backburner here in this passing attack with Kenny
Speaker 1: Golladay emerging. You know, it's crazy. Greg is before the season,
Speaker 1: I like carry On Johnson a whole lot, and I
Speaker 1: told you that I could see this Detroit Lions offense
Speaker 1: turning more into a balanced attack where they run the
Speaker 1: football more. That's exactly what has happened. We are not
Speaker 1: seeing the Matt Stafford of years past, throwing forty fifty
Speaker 1: plus times per game, just going out there slinging and
Speaker 1: throwing interceptions being a gun slinging quarterback. We're seeing them
Speaker 1: running the football even more so. Assuming Theodreddic is out again,
Speaker 1: We're looking at carry On Johnson as the really the
Speaker 1: guy that we want to target most for this Lions offense.
Speaker 1: From a fantasy perspective, He's going to check in as
Speaker 1: a high end RB two. We just saw him last
Speaker 1: week nineteen carries up over a hundred and fifty yards UM.
Speaker 1: The Seahawks defense, to their credit, has played better, but
Speaker 1: you know, they took advantage of some good matchups. So
Speaker 1: I like that Lions offensive line. I think they could
Speaker 1: take advantage here. I like carry On Johnson a whole
Speaker 1: lot again, Golden tape. He is where he is every
Speaker 1: single week. He's a rock solid wide receiver to you
Speaker 1: like more in PPR. Maybe in standard he drops down
Speaker 1: to a low and wider tire too high and wide
Speaker 1: receiver three, but he's just rock solid Kenny Golladay is.
Speaker 1: Isn't that similar range with Mark? With Marvin Jones more
Speaker 1: of a low end wide receiver three the other side, Well,
Speaker 1: I wanna get to carry on Johnson. Actually a little
Speaker 1: bit here with THEO ridic not expected, not expected to play,
Speaker 1: people are dumping right back in on carry on Johnson.
Speaker 1: I've heard people desperation during the bye playing playing um
Speaker 1: like Garrett Blunt or anything. What do you think about
Speaker 1: it comes to the right backfield again, if if THEO
Speaker 1: Ridick is out, we just thought of carry on Johnson
Speaker 1: This past week was maybe Mapaturs was listening to fantasy
Speaker 1: owners because we saw some of his best usage of
Speaker 1: the season one week ago. Again, nineteen carries over a
Speaker 1: hundred fifty yards. I'm trusting carry On Johnson, assuming that
Speaker 1: there's no theo ritic Garrett Plant not so much he's
Speaker 1: touched on her bus would be like ten yards in
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Fair enough with the set with the Seattle
Speaker 1: Sea Hawks, a lot of questions about Chris Carson this week.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've gotten those awesome what do
Speaker 1: you think about Chris Carson. Chris Carson is interesting because
Speaker 1: you want to like the matchup against the Lions, but
Speaker 1: then they go out and trade for Snax Harrison, so
Speaker 1: you assume that their run defense is going to be
Speaker 1: a lot better, especially right up the middle where they've struggled.
Speaker 1: They've they've given up a lot of long, explosive runs
Speaker 1: this year. But can we trust Pete Carroll and the
Speaker 1: Seahawks rushing attack? One week it's you know, we're getting
Speaker 1: a little bit more of Shot Penny when we were
Speaker 1: getting a little bit more Mike Mike Davis. I like
Speaker 1: Chris Carton Carson as a lowan RB two. He would
Speaker 1: be ranked higher if we didn't have to worry about
Speaker 1: the two other running backs. We want to thank those
Speaker 1: for joining us on the Pursuit channel today. We've got
Speaker 1: next week. Thank you so much for watching, moving on
Speaker 1: and getting more into the Seattle wide receivers. Dog baldin
Speaker 1: back and healthy. Now, are you part of the camp
Speaker 1: Frank that believes he's back in a hundred percent healthy
Speaker 1: or you're someone that believes that he's never going to
Speaker 1: be healthy. Well, he said it himself, right, so I
Speaker 1: think we have to at least take some of what
Speaker 1: he said. But for the season and trust that he said.
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna be playing at about seventy eight percent. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe you know, coming off the bye week he got
Speaker 1: to rest up a little bit. Maybe that helps him
Speaker 1: for the stretch run here, but you know, you just
Speaker 1: look at his usage. He's still been playing a ton
Speaker 1: of snaps. We actually saw him bounce back after you
Speaker 1: know that doughnut that he gave us a few weeks
Speaker 1: ago when he gave us just one receiving yard against Oakland.
Speaker 1: Eight targets, six receptions, ninety one yards. That's pretty standard
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin. So he's not the wide receiver too that
Speaker 1: we were expecting before the season. But he's more of
Speaker 1: a pretty safe, high end a wide receiver three. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, they move him all around the field. He
Speaker 1: plays a lot of slots, so I don't think that
Speaker 1: he gets shadowed by Darius Slay by any means. So
Speaker 1: rock solid, high end wide receiver three. That's where Doug
Speaker 1: Baldwin and Tyner Lockett is a He's more of touchdown dependent.
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's got the respect that he deserves.
Speaker 1: This here for fantasy, but he hasn't seen a large
Speaker 1: target share either. Uh. This the Seahawks offense is not
Speaker 1: a sexy one. It's not one that you a ton
Speaker 1: a ton of exposure to. Russell Wilson has not been
Speaker 1: throwing the ball all that much this season. He's not
Speaker 1: rushing the ball either, so it's been a very vanilla offense.
Speaker 1: It's kind of what we expected of Brian Schottenheimer. I
Speaker 1: like Tyler Lockett, but he needs to score a touchdown
Speaker 1: in order to return that value. He's been very touchdown dependent.
Speaker 1: Mind you, he's been scoring touchdowns, so maybe that can continue.
Speaker 1: But in the games where he doesn't score a touchdown,
Speaker 1: he's gonna give you about forty to fifty yards and
Speaker 1: that's it. Okay, so he's he's more, he's a wide
Speaker 1: receiver three as well. But I trust Doug Baldwin Moore
Speaker 1: at this point in the season. Alrighty Baltimore and Carolina.
Speaker 1: By the way, Frank Carlos hide things like crap because
Speaker 1: purshot game is already going on. That's why I've stopped
Speaker 1: my tracks. Sorry, Greg. Okay, Uh, Baltimore and Carolina Panthers
Speaker 1: at home against Baltimore. This is a really interesting game.
Speaker 1: I don't know which way I'm leaning in general. What
Speaker 1: I do you know is I'm playing the regulars right,
Speaker 1: I'm playing on Carolina, Cam Newton, Christian McCaffrey, Devin Funches goals.
Speaker 1: Makes sense for Baltimore. Last week we told you to
Speaker 1: play all three Ravens wide receivers. What do we think now?
Speaker 1: Probably not Willie Sneed right, probably probably not. Willie Sneed
Speaker 1: was the revenge game against the Saints, a guy that
Speaker 1: had was getting consistent targets in the Ravens passing attack
Speaker 1: but let us down one week ago. The guys that
Speaker 1: you want to trust are John Brown and Michael Crabtree
Speaker 1: and that's not going to change weekend and week out.
Speaker 1: John Brown the guy who's typically targeted down the field.
Speaker 1: More of the targets have been very consistent, and I
Speaker 1: think the Carolina Panthers secondary, you know a secondary that
Speaker 1: has played better this year. They were a secondary to
Speaker 1: target last season because they were playing with a lot
Speaker 1: of rookies inexperienced players. This year, they've grown up a
Speaker 1: little bit. They're still not great, but they're not as
Speaker 1: bad as they were a year ago. So we like
Speaker 1: John Brown. Um Michael Crabtree, while he doesn't have immense upside,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the upside that John Brown does to
Speaker 1: score touchdowns or especially deep touchdowns. His floor has been
Speaker 1: incredibly safe. We're talking about a guy who has had
Speaker 1: at least eight targets in six straight games. I mean
Speaker 1: that's that's about as safe as you can get. So
Speaker 1: from a PPR perspective, I like Crabtree hasn't scored a
Speaker 1: ton of touchdowns. I don't know that that's going to change,
Speaker 1: but he's a guy who you can, you know, penciln
Speaker 1: for about five or fifty every single week. So he's
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. Three. John Brown is the guy who
Speaker 1: has more upside in this offense. He's more of a
Speaker 1: mid range wide receiver two in this game against the Panthers, Okay,
Speaker 1: mid range wide receiver too. We've he's spoken all week
Speaker 1: about Michael Crabtree and one of your favorite plays, Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know about this week, one of your favorite
Speaker 1: plays going down the street. She's more of a bilow
Speaker 1: because I don't know that he has been. I feel
Speaker 1: like people haven't really respected what Michael Crabtree has done.
Speaker 1: And you know he's not he doesn't have that big ceiling.
Speaker 1: But you know, if you have players on your team
Speaker 1: that are a little bit more volatile, then Michael Crabtree
Speaker 1: is a guy that can kind of balance that out
Speaker 1: and give you the safe floor. What are you expecting
Speaker 1: from Baker Mayfield this week in Pittsburgh? I think more
Speaker 1: of the same. Baker and this Brown's offense has not.
Speaker 1: They haven't had big upside either. Even in the matchup
Speaker 1: last week against the Bucks that we thought he can
Speaker 1: exploit and kind of have a big game. We mentioned
Speaker 1: that trend the coming into last week, the Bucks had
Speaker 1: allowed three d fifty yards and three touchdowns two quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in three straight games. Baker Mayfield to fifty and two.
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like that's where we're at again.
Speaker 1: I have him ranked his QB sixteen. He's behind right
Speaker 1: behind Matthew Stafford, Russell Wilson obviously had him behind Shawn Watson,
Speaker 1: who I'm you know, it might have been a little
Speaker 1: bit bit wrong on that one. But I also have
Speaker 1: him behind Mitchell Robinski. I think he's a fine boy replacement.
Speaker 1: God bless you Grigsman. Uh for guys like you know,
Speaker 1: if you don't have Philip Rivers, you don't have Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: I picked up Baker Mayfield in a league. I think
Speaker 1: he's about two fifty and two, which is where he's
Speaker 1: been out. Okay, um for Baker Mayfield. Are you buying
Speaker 1: the rat this week? No, I'm not. Jarvis Landry though
Speaker 1: the targets continue to be there, same thing within Joku,
Speaker 1: but now we're starting to see the production. We kind
Speaker 1: of joked around. You know, you don't get points per target,
Speaker 1: you don't get points for per upside. You know what
Speaker 1: you can do. You only get fantasy points for what
Speaker 1: you actually do. Jarvis Landry last week, he actually did it.
Speaker 1: Even in joking. The past two weeks, he's actually been
Speaker 1: doing it, so he is developing a rapport with Baker Mayfield. Um,
Speaker 1: you're gonna continue to trust Davin Joke, He's the top
Speaker 1: five tight end for me. Jarvis Landry a high and
Speaker 1: wide receiver to just based on the targets that he's
Speaker 1: been seeing. I certainly expect the Browns to be playing
Speaker 1: from behind in this game as well. Okay, expecting the
Speaker 1: Browns from playing from behind for Pittsburgh. Jujus and Schuster
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown off the bo You like that, Big Ben.
Speaker 1: You like that James Conner continuing the role without Levon Bell.
Speaker 1: You like that. We've spoken a lot about Vans McDonald.
Speaker 1: Is there anything I'm missing with Pittsburgh any secrets? No?
Speaker 1: I mean I think you bring up their defense. A
Speaker 1: lot of people are looking to stream the Steelers defense,
Speaker 1: who have played better late, and we saw in that
Speaker 1: first game of the season they got a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure on then Tyrod Taylor got a lot of sacks.
Speaker 1: This is a defense that can bring pressure. They're gonna
Speaker 1: certainly try and do that against Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: has struggled a bit against pressure this year. Um, so
Speaker 1: you know, I mean that's to be expected from any
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. But I do think that the Steelers defense
Speaker 1: isn't play as a streaming defense. Cincinnati and Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: before we hit the break, you said earlier this week,
Speaker 1: you don't know how anybody stops anybody in this one
Speaker 1: high scoring attack for both Cincinnati and for Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: You have Chris Godwin, I know on one of your teams.
Speaker 1: Are you starting him this week? I have him starting
Speaker 1: over Sammy Watkins right now. He's been a little bit
Speaker 1: you know, touchdown dependent this year, kind of similar to
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett. He's Chris Godman scored a touchdown in four
Speaker 1: games this year. We saw a little bit more consistency
Speaker 1: last week, you know, safe floor about five for fifty.
Speaker 1: But he also played the most snaps last week then,
Speaker 1: uh that he has all season besides Week one. Week one,
Speaker 1: he played about six of the snaps. He was in
Speaker 1: that same range, uh this past week in Week seven,
Speaker 1: So I want to continue to see that usage. He's
Speaker 1: actually the most targeted player inside the red zone for
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, which I think surprises people. They have a
Speaker 1: lot of weapons, they have the tight ends, they have
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, but because opposing defenses are trying stop all
Speaker 1: those other players. They forget about Chris Godwin, who just
Speaker 1: kind of sneaks out and does his thing in the
Speaker 1: red zone. So he's touchdown or bust not necessarily like
Speaker 1: if he don't score touched and he's gonna give you
Speaker 1: like fifty or sixty yards, but his chances to store
Speaker 1: a touchdown are high every single week because he's targeted
Speaker 1: in that part of the field very frequently. Something I
Speaker 1: was thinking about, Greg, is this game between the Bengals
Speaker 1: and Bucks. It's gonna be an ugly one. It's like
Speaker 1: a throwback, like hardcore match from like WWF back in
Speaker 1: the day. I'm talking like somebody we're on the end
Speaker 1: of the other shirt today. Uh, we're talking like chairs, ladders,
Speaker 1: trash cans, guys getting hit over the head. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the game, you're gonna get your production.
Speaker 1: You're going to be pleased, but it's gonna be ug'
Speaker 1: great toe there you go. When we come back, we're
Speaker 1: gonna answer your telephone calls. Plus a lot of you
Speaker 1: have asked for us to comment on Will Fuller, Lamar Miller.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do both of those things. On the other side,
Speaker 1: your calls our picks and the rest of the Sunday

Speaker 1: You used to go to an eighties cover band see
Speaker 1: this all the time and do a dance just like
Speaker 1: Frank and Iron dance right now. I love the family
Speaker 1: guys spoof from this music video. You ever seen it?
Speaker 1: I don't think you gotta look at it. In the
Speaker 1: Daily Road I mean a lot of optiz or is
Speaker 1: now available. That means you can use the same tools
Speaker 1: of productions that Daily Roader dot Com NFL Premium subscribers
Speaker 1: are using to win each week for NBA DFS contest.
Speaker 1: You've heard a lot about Daily rodor dot Coms NFL
Speaker 1: DFS Optimizer here on F and T s Y, and
Speaker 1: how all of our NFS subscribers are just winning cash
Speaker 1: now NBA subscribers are doing the same. Frankie, did you
Speaker 1: win the last night? I only played in a free contest.
Speaker 1: I didn't have a lot of time to look at
Speaker 1: stuff right before lineups lock, so I didn't get into
Speaker 1: any cash games. But in the one thing that I
Speaker 1: did play, it did not. I lost Frank last night,
Speaker 1: but my went fault in all honest thing that. So,
Speaker 1: Larry Nance, do you wint I'm not starting? I got
Speaker 1: the Daily Road a lot of alert which you get
Speaker 1: when you're a premium subscriber, used the promo code f
Speaker 1: nd s Y, so they sent out the note that
Speaker 1: Larry Nance was not starting for Kevin Love and instead
Speaker 1: it was Channing Fry and I was all in, and
Speaker 1: I spoke that Judgmaya about this yesterday, that the numbers
Speaker 1: for the minutes for Larry Nance are not going to
Speaker 1: be there on the second night of the back to back.
Speaker 1: He still getting a stamina under him, and I was wrong.
Speaker 1: He played twenty seven minutes. He was really good. Larry
Speaker 1: Nance is a difference between me cashing and not cashing
Speaker 1: last night's. Yeah, Larry Nance typically always a guy who
Speaker 1: doesn't need a lot of minutes. He's a very strong
Speaker 1: per minute producer because he gets so many defensive numbers. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I still had him in the lineup, but I unfortunately
Speaker 1: did not cash. Greggy. We also got some I know
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to the Willfuller news. Obviously, We've got
Speaker 1: some more news during the break. We were just talking
Speaker 1: about the Bengals and the Bucks. Bengals will be without
Speaker 1: cornerback dar Quis Dinard vonts Perfect and linebacker Nick vigil,
Speaker 1: so even more points to be scored in his game.
Speaker 1: We have three starting worthy players on the Bengals team.
Speaker 1: We're going to be out. I'm hammering that over at
Speaker 1: fifty four and a half right now, Greg, how pup
Speaker 1: do you a painting? Marbar? Not pumped at all? Man,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really not because given those linebacker injuries, if
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones had this backfield to himself this week, I
Speaker 1: think he could have been able to do a lot
Speaker 1: of damage. And he was someone who actually wrote up
Speaker 1: as a player I was higher on the the consensus
Speaker 1: in the best Fantasy five, wrote experts dot Com. But
Speaker 1: now that Peyton Barber's there just ruins everything because it's
Speaker 1: just it's a completely it's gonna be a split backfield
Speaker 1: against super annoyingment. Really sorry. It could have been the
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones breakout game. But the linebackers being out certainly
Speaker 1: helps the tight ends. So O J. Howard in play
Speaker 1: obviously once again he's tightened. One cameon Bray is more
Speaker 1: of just like a shot in the dark. Hopey scores
Speaker 1: a touchdown, but with that total and these injuries on
Speaker 1: the defensive side might just happened. Greg, you imagined Will
Speaker 1: Fuller tore his a c L last night. Sucks absolutely
Speaker 1: suck scoring touchdown. You know a guy who we brought
Speaker 1: up this week in the trade show who I said
Speaker 1: escually got the passiveference which she led to the dutchdown
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yes, Greg, uh, he was a guy who
Speaker 1: we brought up during the trade show this week, a
Speaker 1: guy who I said I wanted to buy based on
Speaker 1: you know, he finally looked like he was healthy again.
Speaker 1: He had a great game last week against the Jaguars
Speaker 1: went out, had a monster game against the Dolphins, up
Speaker 1: over a hundred yard It had a touchdown as well,
Speaker 1: so you were excited about what you saw and then
Speaker 1: especially for it to happen late in the game too,
Speaker 1: It's just god man, it sucks for Will Fuller. It's
Speaker 1: obviously going to affect Deshaun Watson a little bit here
Speaker 1: to Deshaun Watson, who you know, you know as right
Speaker 1: as I was about Lauren Miller last night doing work, Um,
Speaker 1: I was wrong about de Shaun Watson. So I will
Speaker 1: easily take that l went off and through for five touchdowns.
Speaker 1: I think we see even more targets for DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: moving forward. Um, maybe the efficiency isn't there because he's
Speaker 1: just gonna be peppered again. But once Kiki QT returns,
Speaker 1: that's a guy who we're excited about because you know,
Speaker 1: just another guy down and Will Fuller and all. I
Speaker 1: already see people going off greg on Twitter about Dez
Speaker 1: Bryant potentially being an option for the Houston Texans here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it makes sense. It's in Texas, but they're
Speaker 1: five and three right now, right if they want place,
Speaker 1: you want to make that run, you want another outside receiver,
Speaker 1: and it's not like you know, Dez Bryant is. You
Speaker 1: don't have to pepper them with targets. And I think
Speaker 1: he would understand that because he knows how good Andre
Speaker 1: Hopkins is. Like, I don't think he's gonna argue that
Speaker 1: he's better than DeAndre Hopkins, but you add another element
Speaker 1: to your offensive guy that you can use in the
Speaker 1: red zone. Who you know, if DeAndre Hopkins is getting
Speaker 1: double teamed, if you were to get des Brian on
Speaker 1: this offense single coverage in the red zone, I mean
Speaker 1: that would help them. So this is a situation would
Speaker 1: certainly makes sense. But we'll see what happens. Traper starting
Speaker 1: Shepford and give it like a first round pick for him.
Speaker 1: Is your micon or my headphone is doing that thing
Speaker 1: against your headphones? For sure? That was both full of
Speaker 1: the other side of last night. Lamar Miller, Lamar Miller
Speaker 1: does not suck. Did not suck last night. I had
Speaker 1: so many tweets sayings just Lamar Miller still suck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller still sucks. I'm sure we'll get up. I'm
Speaker 1: sure we'll get some more analysis from the Fantasy executive
Speaker 1: as well on the topic. He didn't suck last night,
Speaker 1: though he was good, did not that he was great
Speaker 1: two games in a row. Man, I got nothing. I
Speaker 1: I want to kill a guy. I can't he look good.
Speaker 1: Look I was trying. I was trying to talk about
Speaker 1: the Dolphins defense a couple of weeks ago, since their
Speaker 1: first two games of the season. I saw Evan Silvera
Speaker 1: tweeting this out. They have a lot of twenty seven
Speaker 1: or more point in five street games, so defense is
Speaker 1: not getting a job done for a lot of that game.
Speaker 1: Xavien Howard was doing a great job against Hopkins, but
Speaker 1: then Deander Hopkins just did DeAndre Hopkins things and he
Speaker 1: took over. I still do worry about number one wide
Speaker 1: receivers going up against the Dolphins because not every number
Speaker 1: one wide receiver is de Hoppins. David Howard got owned
Speaker 1: last night. He did, but it's also Deandrew Hopkins. He's amazing. Um.
Speaker 1: I do think any other part of the field you
Speaker 1: can target against this Dolphins defense, you know, opposing running backs,
Speaker 1: number two wide receivers, tight ends, we just you know,
Speaker 1: we saw Jordan Thomas score two touchdowns last night. To
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are are a team to target um for
Speaker 1: you know, opposing uh, fantasy players, Chris Herndon, the guy
Speaker 1: who was going to face the Dolphins in Week nine,
Speaker 1: great by otherwise being of the Jets. Robbie Anderson doubtful
Speaker 1: for this weekend. Well, there goes everything that we said
Speaker 1: about Robbie Anderson. Do you start? Do I start your
Speaker 1: main curse? Sean, if you could just clip that part
Speaker 1: out of out of the pursuit, do I started? Do
Speaker 1: I start your main curse? Now? How do I mean? Look,
Speaker 1: let's do this right here, right now, pleacause I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna eliminate Robby Anderson from the rankings, um, and
Speaker 1: then we're gonna we have no choice but to move
Speaker 1: Jermaine Curse up. I mean, who else do they have?
Speaker 1: They have? They have Deonte Burnett you know if whatever
Speaker 1: you can tell me about him, you know all years
Speaker 1: right now. UM, I think this helps Trenton Cannon. If
Speaker 1: you picked him up, he's probably gonna see a lot
Speaker 1: of dump offs, a lot of short uh you know,
Speaker 1: short passing place close to the line of scrimmage. I
Speaker 1: think this helps Chris Herndon too. This is like who
Speaker 1: else are they can throw? It's Jermaine Curse. It's Chris Herndon.
Speaker 1: We uh. I think they have like Sharone Peaks still
Speaker 1: on this team. But here's the thing with Jermaine Curse. Right,
Speaker 1: Like Robby Anderson only had like three targets this week.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like he was peppered with targets. Robbie Anderson
Speaker 1: last week ten dargets, ten targets. Yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: that's pretty much standard Robbie Anderson this year. Okay, so
Speaker 1: it's ten targets last week it was a season h Alright,
Speaker 1: Jermaine Curse, all right? But how how far up are
Speaker 1: we moving in? So I had him at wide receiver
Speaker 1: forty three. I also gotta move Taylor Gabriel up to alright,
Speaker 1: so we're doing this right now. We're doing this on
Speaker 1: the spot. I'm gonna move your main Curse up ahead
Speaker 1: of Sammy Watkins. I can't believe I'm starting at at
Speaker 1: zero points for me again, I'm what only doing. I
Speaker 1: moved Jermaine Curse up to wide receiver thirty eight, is
Speaker 1: ahead or below war Tavis Bryant. That's ahead of Martavis Bryant.
Speaker 1: He just moved ahead of him. I have him just
Speaker 1: behind Marvin Jones, Sterling Shepard, Sean Jackson, Geronimo Allison. So
Speaker 1: that kind of gives you the range of where Jamaine
Speaker 1: Curse is at in my rankings this week. I don't know,
Speaker 1: It's just it's just opportunity, right, Like he has to
Speaker 1: be targeted. Who else are they gonna throw the ball to?
Speaker 1: There's no one else, even if he's double covered every
Speaker 1: single play, it seems like Sam Donald's gonna have to
Speaker 1: throw the ball. There's nobody else. Damn. Last week to
Speaker 1: Chris Herndon, how far up do we move? Chris Herndon
Speaker 1: saw a season high seven targets, last week's season high
Speaker 1: four reception. I had him at tight end twenty. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and move him ahead of Ben Watson,
Speaker 1: moved ahead of Rickie Steels Jones. Absolutely do you rather?
Speaker 1: Do you start Chris Herndon over Jack Doyle? Yes? Over
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen? We didn't do anything last week except score touching?
Speaker 1: It probably not? And then and then it's Evan Ingram,
Speaker 1: vance McDonald. You don't you like ev Ingram? Why are
Speaker 1: you staring? Don't down there? You go Chris Herndon ahead
Speaker 1: of everything, the best tight end in New York. Chris
Speaker 1: Herndon fourth, So it's Herndon. No, he's sixteen because there's
Speaker 1: still Vance McDonald's z U sama O, j Howard, Jordan Reid.
Speaker 1: I just like those matchups. Okay, makes sense. But Chris Herndon,
Speaker 1: you know if h if you have a guy on
Speaker 1: a bye week this week, which teams on a by
Speaker 1: you know, if you have like Austin Hooper on your
Speaker 1: team or I mean, obviously the Chargers Antonio Gates, that
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. If you were starting Austin Hooper, Chris Herndon
Speaker 1: might be a serviceable replacement here. I don't think anyone
Speaker 1: else was starting. Jeff Swain the Dallas Cowboys. Let's ge
Speaker 1: the phone last, Frank four four eight four three s nine.
Speaker 1: Let's be give us Sam in Texas. That's up, Sam, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: how's it going? It's going all right? Man? What's up?
Speaker 1: Happy Friday? Quick question? I'm in a standard league and
Speaker 1: I really need to win, and I'm kind of overthinking everything.
Speaker 1: Quarterback Baker Mayfield there, Matthew Stafford Mayfield or Stafford Frank,
Speaker 1: I don't think you're overthinking this one. This is very close.
Speaker 1: Fair question. Yeah, this is A. This is a very
Speaker 1: fair question. Um, I'm gonna take Matthew Stafford. Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1: You know, we spoke about him a little bit earlier.
Speaker 1: Hasn't had big upside him in the offense. You know,
Speaker 1: they're not necessarily clicking. Whether it's a play calling, it
Speaker 1: just seems like he's been a little bit off on
Speaker 1: a few of his throws. Uh, Steelers defense has played
Speaker 1: better the game is in Pittsburgh. Um, I'll take Matthew
Speaker 1: Stafford at home against the Seahawks. A question. I will
Speaker 1: also go with Matthew Stafford by the way, Okay, now
Speaker 1: in a flag mark Ingram or Golden Tap. So these
Speaker 1: players are both similarly ranked, and if we're talking about
Speaker 1: standard non PPR leagues, whenever I have similarly ranked players
Speaker 1: at different positions, I will take the running back. Every time.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to Golden team. On on the other
Speaker 1: side of this revenge game, You think he scores, he
Speaker 1: gets in the end zone, Yeah, I just think he's
Speaker 1: peppered a bit. Um, I'm gonna go to Golden Tate
Speaker 1: Ingram though, Yeah, Ingram didn't do anything this week, scored
Speaker 1: two touchdowns two weeks ago. I still trust the Saints
Speaker 1: offensive line a lot. I think we get a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of points scored between the Saints and
Speaker 1: the Lens. I'm gonna step up. Yeah, I'll take Ingram.
Speaker 1: Greg takes tape, which doesn't help. I'm sorry, but there
Speaker 1: you go. Eight four four eight four three six seven nine.
Speaker 1: That's by the Fantasy executive. Next hour, see what they say.
Speaker 1: Let's go to John in North Carolina. John, Hey, guys, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's happening. I just gotta struggling, Uh start sick question
Speaker 1: this week? Um, I basically need to bench one of
Speaker 1: these guys. I'm gonna play three of them, so, um,
Speaker 1: full point pr one of these carry On Johnson, Doug
Speaker 1: Baldwin or John Brown. I need to sit one of
Speaker 1: these guys. So to me in PPR, I'm not expecting
Speaker 1: THEO Rick. I think carry On Johnson is the guy
Speaker 1: that's in there. I think John Brown is the other
Speaker 1: guy that's in there. So I'm deciding between Mark Ingram
Speaker 1: and Doug Baldwin. Who do I want to bench? Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I have these players closely ranked two, but
Speaker 1: in the PPR, I think Doug Baldin is probably a
Speaker 1: little bit safer, right, I want to bench Doug. Ingram
Speaker 1: has the higher upside. I want to bench Baldwin. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I feel closely about this one between Look to me,
Speaker 1: it's carry on. Johnson and John Brown are the ones
Speaker 1: that are in your line up. It's very close between
Speaker 1: Ingram and Baldwin. Greg. If you lean Ingram, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't hate it for me. To me, I don't know,
Speaker 1: and I have it as close like I actually have
Speaker 1: ingraman carry on Johnson. I'm starting both running backs in
Speaker 1: the scenario for me between John Brown and Doug Baldwin,
Speaker 1: John Brown's peppered with targets. Doug Baldwin's was obviously up
Speaker 1: and down. Um, I gotta go bench Baldwin here this week.
Speaker 1: This is for me. I'm alright with that. It's to
Speaker 1: me it's close between Baldwin in England eight four four
Speaker 1: eight four three six seven nine. Let's Josh in Colorado.
Speaker 1: What's up? Josh? Hey, guys, how are you doing today?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Less? Have have a tough week ahead
Speaker 1: of me here, I've lost last two games yet I
Speaker 1: can okay, let's see here, how arn't you guys say
Speaker 1: if you start with this week? Oh? Thank you sorry
Speaker 1: about Collins be good s a p O Alex Collins
Speaker 1: definitely all right, we both are yes, great great. In
Speaker 1: the last question here with this uh with this thing
Speaker 1: with being so so good this year, UM, trying to
Speaker 1: figure out who's it's like that I have, I have
Speaker 1: love wish I Matthews just silent and thinking about Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, we have a tough connection with you, Bud.
Speaker 1: But if you're de sime as we were Shard Matthews
Speaker 1: and Mark he's good to win that that's not really
Speaker 1: the thing for me. We're gonna start Mark, he's good. Way,
Speaker 1: don't do this, Frank, Okay, Well basically I was basically
Speaker 1: saying like I was trashed on another person. Boy, it's
Speaker 1: not one al right. Well, well honestly we don't like
Speaker 1: I'm not it's gonna be so we're gonna go to market.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with Market's good. When there, I want
Speaker 1: to sign off a YouTube now, I wanna remind you
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football friends, it comes your way, next, Corey Parson,
Speaker 1: Chris Adventure and Jim Day come your way. Then if
Speaker 1: you listening on the podcast, make sure you like subscribe
Speaker 1: RTUs five stars and leave a comment if you listen
Speaker 1: to the radio, will go live for another four minutes. Frank,
Speaker 1: one more calling on our picks. Cool? Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: wanted to touch on, you know a few wider series
Speaker 1: that have ranked lower who might be available on the
Speaker 1: waiver wire for the previous gentleman who just called in
Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief. Good matchup against the Eagles, Calvin Benjamin. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be trailing by a ton of points. Um. I
Speaker 1: just like what he can offer more than like for
Speaker 1: Shard Matthews. Mark He's goodwin. I mean, I don't really
Speaker 1: want to mess with Marky's goodwin at all. So those
Speaker 1: are two guys that I would have him play. Anthony
Speaker 1: Miller if he was dropping. Your league kind of touched
Speaker 1: on him, But the Jet secondary has been struggling onto
Speaker 1: the call. Alright. Our final call of the week is
Speaker 1: game and port Chester. What's up? Game? It was fun, guys,
Speaker 1: not too much, man, Dad. That was all for a
Speaker 1: trade in my league. I'm giving up Martin Mack. I'm
Speaker 1: getting Michael Crabby. You think that's a good the rest
Speaker 1: of the seasoning? No, no, no, no, um Marlin Marlon Mack.
Speaker 1: We spoke about him on the trade show. You know,
Speaker 1: if people we said that, you know, I was getting
Speaker 1: some people that were asking me trade questions. Value. Marlin
Speaker 1: Mack is like a high end r B two. And
Speaker 1: while I do like buying in on Michael Crash, he
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't have great upside. I like him as a
Speaker 1: very very safe, high floor wide receiver three. But Marlon
Speaker 1: Mack has more upside. Right now, he's proving that. I
Speaker 1: understand maybe trying to want to sell Marlon Mack right
Speaker 1: now because he gets dinged up easily. He's dinged up
Speaker 1: once again. Um, but his usage of the past two weeks, Uh,
Speaker 1: it is promising. So if I'm trading Marlon Mack right now,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to sell high. I'm trying to get like
Speaker 1: a wide receiver too in return for him. Um, I
Speaker 1: think that's realistic. Maybe even a low and wide receiver too.
Speaker 1: I want to get more than Michael Crabtree. Okay, I
Speaker 1: think it's clear. You know what. I know you're a
Speaker 1: big Michael Crabtree guy. So it's interesting for me that
Speaker 1: you're saying that's not enough. Marlon Mack not a guy
Speaker 1: that is proven to be healthy for any sustainable amount
Speaker 1: of time. That's my biggest concern when it comes to Mac,
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, I'd rather have Mac. Given that a
Speaker 1: miss practice this week, I'm nervous. I think it's close.
Speaker 1: I think you need the running back he Mac. You
Speaker 1: desperate for wide receiver. I'm okay with going at the crabtree.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's unfair. I really don't just feel
Speaker 1: like you get more from Mount Marlon Mack right now.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's just me. Maybe that's just my perception of it. Obviously,
Speaker 1: like a lot of it is subjective. It could you know,
Speaker 1: it depends on how the the players in your league
Speaker 1: view Marlon Mack. I mean there's a lot that goes
Speaker 1: into account there. I just imagine that you'd be able
Speaker 1: to get more from right now. All right, Frank, let's
Speaker 1: getting to our picks for this week. Bevona hit the music.
Speaker 1: I don't even know who's up first. I'm nine because
Speaker 1: you are your your first and eating weeks. I'm a
Speaker 1: first note of weeks. I'm ninety nine. You are ten
Speaker 1: and eight Francs, and you're oh first. Give it to me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is something I've been talking about all week long.
Speaker 1: I uh, maybe this is what they want me to
Speaker 1: think this is what the oddsmakers want me to buy
Speaker 1: into here. But I'm taking the Packers man at plus
Speaker 1: nine and a half. It's just a lot of points. Um. Look,
Speaker 1: even though that they're in l A, you know they're
Speaker 1: gonna get some pieces back to their secondary. I just
Speaker 1: I can't imagine they're losing fight ten or more points.
Speaker 1: So I'll take the Green Bay Packers. We could take
Speaker 1: over unders as well, right right, I don't want I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the under in the Seahawks and Alliance game
Speaker 1: at forty nine and a half. I just think both
Speaker 1: teams want to run the football here, probably more of
Speaker 1: a defensive game. Um. I just I think that's a
Speaker 1: very high total for those respective teams. And then I
Speaker 1: will take be grudgingly. I might be falling for it.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Jets, taking the Jets at plus seven halves.
Speaker 1: I want to take the Jets too. That's frustrating, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Um, I'm a gonna take the Giants
Speaker 1: because I don't understand this, friend, So I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Giants. I'm gonna take Cincinnati as well as sweet
Speaker 1: point favorites, and I'll take uh, take the Cardinals plot
Speaker 1: one at home, take the home door. Oh man, that's
Speaker 1: the other one I wanted forgot. Franzy's up next. I'm
Speaker 1: a great week and good luck everybody. We'll see it
Speaker 1: back here on Monday, we hope.
