Fragg what's going on? Money? Not much? Great? 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.000 You're getting ready for Week eight not to hit the 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.640 midpoint of the fantasy football season. Already we are there. 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.280 We eight is upon us. My friend on Times on 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.679 Times Jets Indeed, Let's go Jets said, whatever, it's not sure. 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.640 I love people say it just doesn't It just doesn't happen, 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.360 not so much doesn't matter to them. On the show 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.080 today we appreciate you watching the Pursuit channel and checking 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.640 us out. No matter where you're watching us, we say 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.000 hello and thanks for joining us. Let me get in 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.880 right into it, Frank, game, my game. We're gonna go 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:46.080 through it. What we need to know, what we need 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.880 to watch, Who we start, who we play, who we bench. 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:55.040 Let's go. Let's do it Denver, Kansas City in Gannasee 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.840 star everybody. Patrick Mahomes there, you go start everybody that 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.600 include Case Kingdom for Yeah, if you're play in a 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:05.440 super flex quarterback league, then he's in play. Obviously in 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.560 two quarterback leagues. Anything other than that, um, unless you're 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.679 like really hurting because of the bye weeks. I haven't 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.440 at QB eight team right now. Again, there's a big 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.919 total in this game. The Broncos are ten point dogs 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.120 in this game in Kansas City, so they're likely going 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.160 to be chasing points. I will say I feel like 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.560 the Chiefs defense has played better a little bit. Uh. 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.320 Certainly last week we saw a bad Andy Dalton show up. 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.000 But it's about that time a year where we get 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.840 bad Andy Dalton. Um. So I don't know that the 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.079 Chief's defense is the cake walk that it was earlier 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.920 on in the season. What case, Keenum is in a 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.839 good place here and because of that, Emmanuel Sanders checks 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.639 in as a borderline low end wide receiver one high 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.720 and wide receiver too. That he was dealing with that 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.639 ankle spring after the Thursday night game a week ago 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.760 against the Cardinals, but he's had ten days to recover. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.480 I think he'll be fine for that. I look for 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.520 him to exploit that matchup the Marius Thomas. Again, the 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.799 targets have been a little bit inconsistent. The team is 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.640 trying to shop him. Don't know if he's gonna be 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.880 with the team come this time next week. So he's 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.160 like a high end wide receiver three, just because of 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.200 the matchup here and uh with the Broncos. If if 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.400 Royce Freeman is out, then we're looking at Philip Lindsay 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.480 as an RB one because the Chiefs absolutely bleed fantasy 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.480 points to running backs, especially past catching running backs, and 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.480 that's where I think Philip Lindsay would be able to 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.320 take advantage. I've heard people say Devantay Booker maybe a 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.120 sneaky play this weekend. You bind into that in a 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.960 full PPR. We've seen that he's consistently been on the field. 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.440 He's still playing around thirty percent of the snaps. It's 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.480 been a you know, three men committee here with this team. 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.800 We see a lot of Philip Lindsay. But when a 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:40.560 team is trailing, which obviously we are expecting in this one, 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.800 we see more Devontae Booker. So if you're in PPR leagues, 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.680 I think he's a low end flex option. I don't 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.240 really want to have to depend on it. I don't 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.880 think he has a high ceiling. But again, in PPR, 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:53.880 he might be able to catch you know, five for 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.480 fifty and that will help you. He's a bye weeek replacement, 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.200 nothing more than that, in my opinion. Yeah, I tend 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.480 to agree with you, Devantay Booker, nothing more. He doesn't 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.840 really carry the ball at all anymore whenever, like Jalen Richard, 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.840 like Smart, doesn't do anything on the ground. He has 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.880 a season high of twenty four rushing yards this season. 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.560 But he's giving you a safe floor for PPR. So, 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.360 you know, for Royce Freeman is out, that's just one 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.120 less running back here. Some kind of muddle the waters. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.280 For Denver, we'll get a lot of Lindsay and if 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.000 they're trailing, We'll get a lot of Davontae Booker as well. Okay, 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.640 So on the other side of that game in Kansas City, 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:27.520 you joked, play everybody, Does everybody include Sammy Watkins? So 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:33.920 Sammy Watkins, Sammy Watkins said, play everybody. Play everybody except 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.359 Sammy Watkins. Now, I mean, look, I have a decision 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.320 that I'm faced with right now, Chris Godwin versus Sammy Watkins. 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.880 I have Chris Godwin a little bit higher in the rankings, 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.200 so I have him in the lineup as of right now. 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.120 Sammy Watkins just outside of my top thirty six. So 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.120 he's a low end wide receiver three. And mind you, 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.240 that's with the four teams on AA by this week, Greg. So, 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:55.080 Sammy Watkins hasn't gotten the end zone for a while now. Uh. 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.000 Seemed like he needed a lot of garbage time last 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.320 week against the Bengals to really get involved and help 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:03.280 fantasy own. His usage just has been so inconsistent. It's 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:04.960 a lot of tire you kill, It's a lot of 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.839 Travis Kelsey, it's a lot of Kareem Hunt. He's you know, 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.360 at best fourth and pecking order in terms of targets 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.760 and usage. On this team. So I'm not very excited 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.680 about Sammy Watkins. UM, he's he's a low and wide 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.640 receiver three. That's pretty much it. I probably agree that 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.400 he's a low and wide receiver three. This guys I 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.200 have just ahead of him, Taylor Gabriel, Marvin Jones, Sterling Shepard, 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.680 Shawn Jackson, Geronimo Allison like all those guys. More. Okay, 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.520 so there you go, uh for you imagine the Raiders 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.680 and I wanted to actually quickly move on to open 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.000 because I think it's a really really interesting spot for 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.880 them here. This week they played at four o'clock and 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:43.359 they are hosting the Indianapolis Colts. No Mary Cooper, no 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.200 Marshawn Lynch, totally different team than we saw the last time, uh, 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:52.279 this team play before. Thereby, they have talked up Doug 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.679 Martin this week. They have talked up Martavis Bryant this week. 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.480 That's so it doesn't get more John Gruden than that. Greg. 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.680 Do you trust either Doug Martin or more Davis Bryant? 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.960 Where are they in your rankings? So Doug Martin checks 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.480 in as a low end RB two, high end flex options. 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.719 And that's because what they've everything they've said is that 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.760 he's going to fill in for that Marshawn Lynch role. 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.640 Lynch a running back who had seen over fifty percent 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.640 of the snaps for the Raiders this year. He was 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.920 top twelve in the NFL in terms of red zone carry, 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.560 so he was getting used in that part of the field. Look, 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:29.320 if not for opportunity, that's that's all comes down for too, 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.280 for Doug Martin, because we haven't seen him be effective 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.560 the past couple of years. So if he didn't have 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.200 this opportunity, obviously we would not be excited or I 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:40.479 mean relatively excited about Doug Martin. It's just based on 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.160 usage and opportunity here. So you know, I think he 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:47.760 gets around fifteen sixteen touches in this game. The Indianapolis 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.320 Colts are They're not a bad defense, they're not a 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.360 great defense. They're kind of middle of the pack. So 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.000 I think because all those reasons, we have a close 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.920 point spread here. The Colts favored by three points in Oakland, 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.960 so I think it's you know, it's not a blowout 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.039 by any means. And I think we see we see 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.680 some Doug Martin, Martavis Bryant, he slots right into that 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.400 Amari Cooper role. I think there's gonna be games where 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.080 he has big upside, but there's also gonna be games 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.520 where he just goes missing. I think Jordy Nelson is 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.600 really the guy that you want to zone in on here. 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.320 Over the past month, the Colts have allowed the tenth 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.800 most Fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. I think Jordy 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:22.960 Nelson is the guy that kind of has that safer 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.640 floor now, the consistent targets, especially in the red zone. 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.679 He led all Raiders wide receivers in red zone targets 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.080 even before the Amari Cooper trade, So we probably see 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.160 even more of Jordy Nelson in that part of the field. 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:39.520 Um so Amari coup um. Martinvis Bryant is just outside 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.080 of my top thirty six. Again, he's similar to Sammy Watkins. 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.160 He's very boom er bust. I kind of if I 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.960 picked him up. I want to take a wait and 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.320 see approach. Let me see how the Raiders wide receivers 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.239 are deployed, how they're used, How was Seth Roberts used 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.520 with the departure of Mark Cooper before I get him 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.240 in my line up. Yeah, So here's where I am 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.560 with both of those guys, don't Martin. I think you 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.520 have him ranked in the right spot. He's a low 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:06.040 n RV, too high end flex and if his kid 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:07.800 gets out of hand, that's where we're gonna see too much, 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.840 too much, We're gonna see more Jalen Richard. And ultimately 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.400 I think that in a PVR league, and you've said 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.560 it all week, Frankie, that you want Jayla Rechard in 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.320 that PVR league. But if they can keep it close, 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.440 they're gonna ride to Martin. They really are. John Garden 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.840 is that dumb? And I understand that opportunity does not 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.640 always lead to production. We've heard that a lot. They're 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:31.160 going to give Doug Martin every chance to be too, 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.680 every chance to be productive, to be that Marshall Lynn 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.800 he is they are. Look, we're going from one old 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.120 running back to I mean, it seems like Doug Martin 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:40.800 is old. He's not really old. I don't even think 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:42.800 he's thirty years old yet, but I mean he has 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.440 a lot of wear. And Terry's been in the league 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.839 for a while. We've seen, you know, two monster seasons 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.920 out of Doug Martin, and the rest has been not good. 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:53.440 So the Raiders offensive line has underachieved this year. Marshall 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.720 Lynch was really you know, he was playing well and 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:58.680 you know, maybe it was in spite of the offensive line, 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.280 but he still had it. Like we're seeing a renaissance 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.720 of old running backs. This here, Adrian Peterson another one. 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.439 These guys could still play. Now we're about to find 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.679 out if Doug Martin could do the same. And when 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.520 it comes to Marrow Tavis Bryant, their offens coordinator Greg 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:16.319 Olson on Friday talked up Mark Tavis Bryant, saying, you 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.720 just look at the build and look at what he is. 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.000 And he goes in the starting lineup and he is 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.360 the perfect person to replace Amor Marie Cooper. With Seth 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.600 Roberts goes to the inside, Julie Nelson keeps his spot. 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.199 We all know how talented mar Tavis Bryan is. Off 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.880 the field, issues have certainly hindered him. He got cut 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.800 by the Raiders earlier this year for reasons we still 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.520 don't now. But last week he played a season high 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:41.280 seventy two percent of the snaps and maybe they believe 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.000 in him, or at least Derek Carror believes in him. 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.560 We know he's already the deep play threat. Will there 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.520 be enough constituency. I think it's possible. I want to. 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.440 I want mar Tavis Bryant. That's why I picked him up. 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.600 That's once I spent some money going out and getting him. 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.480 But if you can, I also want to wait and 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.839 see if it will be real. You look at the 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.599 schedule coming up, there's opportunities for mar Tavis Bryant to 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.079 do something. So I might have had him if I 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:05.760 was doing rankings, Frank, I might have had him in 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.079 the top thirty six weeks because of the bye weeks. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.720 But ideally it's wait and see for me. The players 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.199 that have just ahead of him, Christian Kirk, Robbie Anderson, 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.839 Sammy Watkins, Taylor Gabriel and all those other players that 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.160 we mentioned are just ahead of Sammy Watkins. So I think, 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.920 like as I said, I would probably have him in 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:26.760 the top thirty six, Like I can see myself putting 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.360 in front of some of those guys, like it's very close. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.400 It's very close. Differently, but in my opinion, Christian Kirk 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.400 has provided a slave a gred safe floor to this point. 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.120 Going up a good matchup again forty Niners Robby Anderson 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:40.960 coming off a game where he had double digit targets. 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.360 He's banged up. You gotta see whether he's gonna go 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.040 in this game against the Chicago Bears. But based on 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.760 the the injuries to the Jets and the fact that 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.480 we saw as many targets as we did a week ago, 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.120 and that the Jets are likely going to be playing 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:54.839 from behind and throwing the ball, That's why I have 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.560 Robby Anderson. We've seen more of Robbie than we have Martavis. Yeah, 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.079 but Robby Anderson hasn't called more than three passes in 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.120 all year. Well, he only needs one, Craig, he only 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.800 needs one, It's true. But we've also seen Martavis Bryant 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:11.079 dropped that one this season, and yeah, so I mean, look, 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.920 there are a lot of parallels between him and Mark Cooper. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.360 He's just gonna fill in perfectly anyway. I like Mark 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:17.920 Avis Bryant, and I think he picked him up. It's 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.200 gonna pay dividends down the stretch for you. I really 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:24.439 do like Mark Aavis Bryant this upcoming UH week and 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.560 going for on the other side for the Colts. Marlon 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.199 Mack did practice on Friday, so he should be able 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.920 to play and be ready to rock, which is a 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.920 very very good thing for Colts, Colts fans and more 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.880 than Mac owners. Eric Ebron, He's looked good for most 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.199 of this season, but Frankie Jack Doyle is expected to 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.000 return in this one. What is that gonna do to 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.680 every bronze value? Well, it might hurt Eric Ebron between 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.800 the twenties for sure. I think that's where Jack Doyle emerged, 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.520 especially last year. And even in the first game, Jack 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.640 Doyle was targeted a ton, So he's kind of that 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.839 safety blanket for Andrew Luck. But you know, Eric Ebron 0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:02.160 had really become that guy too. Andrew Luck is not 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.120 going to shy away from throwing to his tight ends, 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:05.640 even if he has two of them on the field. 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:07.920 He's gonna get both of those guys involved. I think 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.439 Jack Doyle is more of the PPR guy. I don't 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.319 know that I'm throwing him into my lineup right away 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.520 this week his first game back. I kind of want 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.360 to see what he does. I still trust Eric Ebron, 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.640 especially in the red zone. Anytime they get inside the 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.480 red zone. Eric Ebron has been Andrew Luck's guy. What 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.560 do we say about tight ends? Every single week? Greg 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.000 All we need is a touchdown. Eric Ebron has been 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.160 that guy all season long that we have depended on 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.520 for touchdowns. Who knew, right, Eric Ebron? It seems kind 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:35.000 of crazy. Um, Marlon Mack, Look, this is a great 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.079 matchup against the Oakland Raiders. Over the past month, no 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:41.079 team has allowed, on average more fantasy points per game 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.959 to opposing running backs than the Oakland Raiders. Marlon Mack 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.240 trending in the right direction in terms of his play 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.319 and usage, certainly not the injury, and the Oakland Raiders 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.320 defense has been trending in the wrong direction. So um, 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:54.560 it looks like a match made in heaven for fantasy 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:56.840 just assuming Marlon Mack is healthy. Great, Okay, so there 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.079 you there you go, trending in the right direction for 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.319 those close running back Andrew Luck, by the way, he's 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.560 been unbelievable over the past several weeks, throwing four touchdowns 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.079 and I believe three in the last four games. The 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.000 other one he had three in. Okay, we'll take that 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.760 over twenty points in every outing. So Andrew Luck for 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.199 fantasy purposes, this dude is all the way back and 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.199 if he took a shot on him later in your draft, 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.080 it certainly has worked out thus far. Yeah, we had 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.480 to scare early on in the season not throwing, but look, 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.920 there's just a ton of volume here. The emergence of 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:30.360 Marlon Mac might limit and I say limit very you know, 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.599 vaguely here with Andrew Luck, limit his upside because he 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.319 might not throw as much as he was early on 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.760 the season, you know, fifty plus times per game. But 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:39.800 I still have him as my QB five. I'm not 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.480 scared of the Raiders defense. We could see some points 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.160 scored on both sides here. Um, and Andrew Luck has 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.280 been getting it done in this new Frank Reich offense. 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.240 So yeah, having QB five, I you're gonna continue to 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.360 just roll them out. Trust him as a QB one. Okay, 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.320 So there you go, Andrew Luck a QB one here 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.800 this week, continuing on four weeks eight, taking a game 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.640 by game and letting you know what you need to 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.480 do this week. Some of the Giants, right, Giants and Washington. 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.920 I've said it a lot, Frank, I really like Adrian 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.400 Peterson this week. Absolutely, it's a good matchup, especially with 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.719 Snacks Harrison shipped out to Detroit. He was the run 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.640 stuffer on early downs for the Giants, and the Giants 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.360 actually hadn't been that great against running backs this year overall. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.760 I mean they were giving up solid production to opposing 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:27.040 running backs. Now you get Adrian Peterson, who I mean, 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:28.880 who would have thought he is the focal point of 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.520 this Washington offense right now? If Chris Thompson plays, maybe 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.760 he takes away you know, five six carries, will get 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.880 a few targets. He'll do what he does. But Adrian Peterson, 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.440 if you go down through the game, lock, I mean, 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.360 the guy has been you know, fifteen plus touches quite consistently. 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.240 I mean we've gotten you know, a few games this 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.800 year of over twenty carries for Adrian Peterson. So a 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.000 great matchup against the Giants, very close spread here. I 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.480 actually think that Washington wins this game. And if they 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.040 do that, of course they do. And if they do 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.560 that and they're playing ahead, it's going to be on 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.720 a lot of Adrian Peters in here. Greg, He's a 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.640 lowe RB one for me. This week might be aggressive, 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.120 but it's a good matchup, especially with no snack s Aarrison. 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.040 I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it. This is 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:13.240 the week Jorder refinds zem probably not well. Look, uh 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.920 it's it should be able to happen again the Giants. 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.840 We continue to think that the Giants, this Giants defense 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:21.880 is the Giants defense of last year, who was just 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.560 getting demolished by Tenants. It hasn't necessarily been the case. 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:26.960 They haven't been that bad against tight ends. Have been 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.320 good last two weeks. Touchdown of the tight end. I 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:33.880 believe the score this week now Engen's last. You're not 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.120 score this week? All right? Well, the week before Zacher no, 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.000 that scored a touchdown. But to be honest, the Giants 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.520 evens has fared well against tight ends. Alec Ogletree not 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.760 expected to play for the Giants this week. Obviously. No 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:49.200 Damon Harrison defense. How does this spread so close? Dude? 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.360 What is going on? Is this? It's just just the 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.280 home field? Here we go. Yeah, this is gonna be 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.240 like Thursday night all over again, screaming I eat to 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.360 do one thing and you do the other thing. Um. 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.800 Also for Washington, I don't think he's the past catchers. 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:04.400 You can start for the New York Giants. I think 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.920 you start everybody like normal, right, you start Beckham, obviously, 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:13.320 you start se Kwon Barkley, Sterling Shepherd, Evan Ingram, what 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.840 are you thinking? I like Sterling Shepherd as a low 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.080 end wide receiver three. I mentioned I have him ranked 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.920 ahead of Sammy Watkins, ahead of March Havis Bryant, just 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.080 ahead of Marvin Jones. I just think there's a little 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.360 bit more consistency there and it's a good match. I 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.760 have him as wide receiver thirty five right now, growing 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:32.160 up against Washington was allowed the third most Fantasy points 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.960 to opposing wide receivers over the last month of the season. Greg, 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.160 So it's yeah, status quo. On the Giant side, you're 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:43.040 starting Odell Beckham, You're starting uh se Kwon Barkley, Eli 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.760 Manning low nd QB two for Super Flex or two 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.440 quarterback leagues, and then Sterling Shepherd checks in as a 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.440 watch RETEV three. I trust him a lot more than 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.280 I trust Evan Ingram, who just played his first game 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.320 this past week against the Falcons that he returned in 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.960 and honestly did not too much. So I like Sterling 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.280 Show three. We will continue on. We'll go game by 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.840 game as we like to do here. Final episode of 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.919 the week, Fantasy Best Friends Forever. We're rocking and rolling. 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:10.560 We're also gonna take your calls cut off a little 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.960 bit later on in the hour, will say help you 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.800 set your lineups get into that great Los Angeles Rams, 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.040 Green Bay Packer game.

That is Frank Stample. 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:33.760 I am Greg saucerman. Frankie. I feel like it's only 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.399 fair we hit on the Giants, tend to the Jets. 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:42.920 Jay E t Juts Juts Jets love it. There you go, Gregy, 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.880 how about that jump on while you can. Yeah, quarterback 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.800 in the future. You imagined Robbie Anderson a little while ago. 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.639 Are you confident he please? Yeah, I know that he's 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:57.200 The practice has been inconsistent dealing with the ankle injury. UM. 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.080 I think he does. They don't really have much else here. Again, 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:03.720 we'll have that's something that we'll have to watch. But 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.280 if he does, the the usage was there one week 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.360 ago against Minnesota where he saw ten targets in that game, 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.800 did not convert those. But again, as we've mentioned, with 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.320 him and Martavis Bryant, very similar players. All he needs 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:18.840 is one, right, he needs one, a forty yard touchdown, 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.119 a fifty yard touchdown, something like that. UM Vegas expects 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:23.680 the Jets to be playing from behind in this game 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.879 against the Bears, a Bears defense, which you know, if 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:28.760 you're going to attack them, it's going to be. Through 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.040 the year, they've been very stout against the run. So 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.359 Robby Anderson checks in. You know, again, he's in that range, 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:37.800 that same Sammy Watkins range, that same Martavis Bryant range. 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:39.919 He's just outside of my top thirty six. He's very 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.080 boomer bust. He's a low and wide receiver. Three Okay, 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:47.119 can you start Jamaine Curse this week? He's even further 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:51.359 behind them. But you know, if so, I'm sorry. I 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.040 literally asked you a question of cutting you off immediately. 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.840 It's hard, it's this is a tough situation. UM, So 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:58.920 for me, I'm setting my lineup. I was. I have 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.160 a choice between the three guys this week, Jermaine Curse, 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:07.920 Carlos Hide, and Martavis Bryant, And I don't know what 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.480
