00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: to that. And Plinty Moore of course joining us as

Speaker 1: our next genius. I don't know, Graham Barfield, what's up, man,

9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: it's just our genius. I mean, I will take the

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: genius prayers, but for a genius um. So, it was

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: a weird, weird week We had a lot of quarterbacks

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: kind of fall on their faces in big situations. We'll

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: start looking a little bit at next year and some

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: key players are guys who have who have played well

15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks. How we feel about them

16
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: potentially going into next year. Also, we'll start looking at

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: me some of the top ten qbs potentially four next year,

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: where we think some of these guys who were on

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: the fringes right now might possibly get drafted next year. Also,

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: do your Monday morning because you know it's playoff time

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: and so I'm sure there are a lot of people

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: out there with some sadness, and we'll get you some

23
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: waiver wire picks for that final week of your fantasy playoffs.

24
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: Because it is the final week of the Fantasy playoffs.

25
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Friends don't let friends play in Week seventeen. Joining us

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: as always behind the glass, our faithful producer, Senior Edward

27
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: elm Esquire, Murph, what's up? I wanted to bring up

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: to you, guys. Do you ever have that one person

29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: any of your leagues that nobody else in the league likes.

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: You have the entire league texting you if you're going

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: to face that person in the championship? Like please beat him? Please?

32
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: Which player should I draw for you to pick up? Like?

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: Just please? Like I need you to beat him. So

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: I'm currently dealing with that in one of my US.

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: So I don't deal with collusion, Well that's not happening,

36
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: which is what you're talking about. But I do deal

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: with leagues where we don't want certain people to win,

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: that the one everyone's tired of winning. He was just

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: about to say it you just committed a treasonist? Yeah,

40
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: ye are record. No, no, no, First of all, I'll

41
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: say my team does not need any other players this

42
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: this current team, and I would not allow this to happen.

43
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: But that's how badly players the other competitors in my

44
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: league want me to beat this one person because they

45
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: want me to take their best players. Well, when this

46
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: goes to trial, okay, yeah, we now have audio proof

47
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: that wanted plausible deniability in case I was subpoena. So anyway,

48
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: that's plenty. I don't know, that's plenty to talk about.

49
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: We talked about plenty, We'll talk about plenty more. All

50
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is, basically, you know, let's do

51
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: some news. Well, a lot of folks, yours truly included,

52
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: had a bit of a mini freak out because Todd

53
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: sat out at some point last night in the Rams

54
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: lost to the Eagles because his knee was not great.

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: He got on the stationary bike, did come back in

56
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: late in the game. Didn't help the Rams get a win,

57
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: but he did get a touchdown late would certainly helped

58
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy managers. But according to our own

59
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport, he is getting that knee checked out. I mean,

60
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: there's no other way to say this, fabt other than look,

61
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: we've we've seen so many top level running backs gone

62
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: for multiple reasons throughout the fantasy postseason. This is just

63
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: one more ding. This is just one more bad, potentially

64
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: thing that's happening in the fantasy I can't remember. And

65
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that girl's not gonna play this week,

66
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: because obviously he's gonna get out there if at all possible.

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: But I can't remember another fantasy season where so much

68
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: was writing on backup running backs. And heck, Damian Williams

69
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: helped a lot of people this past week, so did

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson among others. And now Jamal Williams could end

71
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: up being a league winner for you in Week sixteen.

72
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: But Marcus and I have preached this, and we talked

73
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: about it weeks ago. Once you get close to the

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, you've got a handcuff your top running backs,

75
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: because if you don't, this is exactly what's happening. Jalen

76
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: Samuel's another guy played extremely well by the way Pittsburgh.

77
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if you put Marcus Grant in that backfield,

78
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: he's giving you a hundred twenty five yards in a touchdown.

79
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: Anybody who goes back there, it's produced. Listen man, I've

80
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: seen you all right, You've got it is ridiculous. It

81
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: really is how good Steelers running backs perform when they

82
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: get an opportunity. We've seen it with Live and James

83
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: Connor and D'Angelo and now we've seen it with Jalen

84
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: Samuels and Connor could be back. But this is the situation, guys,

85
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: where take this as as a learning experience ahead of

86
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: two thousand and nineteen. You've got a handcuff your stud

87
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: running backs once you get close to the playoffs, and

88
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: I'll ask you, Graham, like, okay, so obviously earlier in

89
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: the week, yes, you're going out and you're maybe getting

90
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: John Kelly. Right. If we get to Saturday though, and

91
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: it looks like girl is going to play, which you

92
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: know all indications right now that he's fine, do you

93
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: drop John Kelly and go get somebody else that can

94
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: potentially help. Because once we get to Sunday and it

95
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: kicks like once you put Girly in, like that's it,

96
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: there's no going back. I'll do that all the time,

97
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: and it just comes out of being I guess, I

98
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: don't know, preemptive manager. It's just like you're constantly churning

99
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: you should be constantly churning your roster and putting you know,

100
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: your yourself and at least the most advantageous situation at

101
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: all times, and actually using your bench because so many

102
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: players and so many managers just keep like the same

103
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: players on their bench throughout the whole season, and that's

104
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: just not really you're not really giving yourself the best

105
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: chance to win. You're not keeping your roster fresh. And

106
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: also too, if your opponent this week hast girly and

107
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: you have waiver priority, you go out and get John Kelly. Okay,

108
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: all's fair in love and fantasy football. You're in it

109
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: to win it, So make sure your opponent doesn't have girly,

110
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: put in a claim if he does, and maybe putting

111
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: a claim even if he doesn't, just in case, because uh,

112
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: it's well, it was nice to have shares of the

113
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: Rams offense lately, and but typically it is what the

114
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: hell's happened to the Rams? Jared Goff got into the

115
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: Dolorean when eighty eight miles per hour back to his

116
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: rookie season, and he sucks again. Going on. Interior offensive

117
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: line is really struggling right now. They've given up a

118
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: ton of pressure over the last month. Um, it's kind

119
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: of notable, like they don't really have a lot of

120
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: depth in the interior and on the ex here and

121
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: Andrew Witworth is like thirty seven. Now we've kind of

122
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: seen this offensive line fall a little bit apart here

123
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: and we're starting to see some cracks, uh, you know,

124
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: and I think teams have figured out different ways to

125
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: defend them. I know Bears fans are are, you know,

126
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: sort of crowing that they're the ones who broke the rams,

127
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: but I might I might give that a little bit

128
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: to the Lions who who kind of figured out how

129
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: to you know, the Lions lost that game, but they

130
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: made life hard on that offense. A couple of weeks.

131
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: Lines have been a weird team, man, such a weird

132
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: because they've been some decent teams, right. I mean, so,

133
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: my pal Seth Rollins, who has been on the show

134
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: with us from w W e uh, texted me yesterday

135
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: instead of the Bears can get the two seed are

136
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: the one seed that he might actually cry like. And

137
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: this is a big strapping wrestler. He's like such a

138
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: huge Bears fan, And I mean, you could make it impossible.

139
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: You can make an argument right now that the two

140
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: favorites in each conference Chicago in Los Angeles, and I'm

141
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: not talking about Day I'm talking about Chargers. Like that argument,

142
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: it is possible. It is right now. Uh, Nick Foles

143
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: is going to get the start again in weeks sixteen,

144
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: obviously came to Los Angeles, led the Eagles to a

145
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: win over the Rams. Carson Wentz won't go on injured reserve.

146
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: I'll start with you, Graham. Like what we saw last

147
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: night out of Nick Foles. He made al Sean Jeffrey

148
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: relevant at a point where I think a lot of us,

149
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: certainly myself, thought that, you know, maybe al Shan was

150
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: sort of done and it was all about Zach Ertz.

151
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know that anybody is going to

152
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 1: have the intestinal fortitude to start Nick Foles, but maybe

153
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: this gives you more hope for somebody like al Sean Jeffrey. Now, yeah,

154
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: we've seen a little bit of a rapport um between

155
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: Folds and Jeffrey, particularly in the playoffs last year. Jeffrey

156
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: had a massive playoffs stretch and we saw it again

157
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: last night against the Rams defense. But it was kind

158
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: of kind of a weird game from the sense that

159
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: like the Eagles didn't really do too much on offense

160
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: outside of like a few big chunk place to Jeffrey.

161
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: They obviously had like the forty plus yard bomb where

162
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: both Jeffrey and the same person and a total blown

163
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: coverage really had a bad game and a small Wood

164
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: had two touched Yeah, exactly like Earth's had his first

165
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: bad game of the year. We saw two random touchdowns.

166
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, I guess we can

167
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: go back to Jeffrey and if you have him, if

168
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: he didn't sink you to get to this point in

169
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: your championship week I have. I'm in a couple of leagues.

170
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: I started him this week and I didn't even like it.

171
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm thinking him against me with Nick founder center. I

172
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: gotta give you credit, MG, because you have said all

173
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: year you're like, I don't know what to make of

174
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles, And all year we've had no idea, what idea? Like,

175
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: I just I've never had any clue like what is

176
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: up or down with this team? Um, you know, now

177
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: here they are, they're playing decent football down the stretch.

178
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: I can't I can't figure out how they're still in

179
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: the playoff on I mean, they're legitimately because the Cowboys

180
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: in the throat yesterday. Because the the NFC East is

181
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: like the four Stooges and they just keep falling all

182
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: over each other. They're they're they're in line for perhaps

183
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: even a wild card spot at this point. It's amazing.

184
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I digress. It's weird. I mean, like the

185
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: Giants are are they actually officially eliminated their Yeah, the

186
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: Packers are out to the Packers are out too, but

187
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: everybody else seems like they have a Dude. If the

188
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: Redskins win that division with Josh Johnson under center, my goodness, gracious,

189
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: that's a nightmare. Care not to have that would be embarrassing.

190
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd suffered an mcl sprain in the game against

191
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: the Raiders on Sunday, So they're running. That's that's pretty much.

192
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: That's pretty much a wrap for I mean, he's probably

193
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: done for the season. I would think I would think

194
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: so at this point. And then we're rushing out to

195
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: the waiver wire to pick up alex Errickson. Right, Grandam,

196
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: Cody Core. Everyone has died in Cincinnati, Cody Cody Core,

197
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: John Ross No, um, I mean, so's Joe Mixon And

198
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: like that's that's it now, right, c j Um, There's

199
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: it's just it's just Joe Mixon left and that's it.

200
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: There's nobody else there that I'm like, Yeah, Alex Ericson

201
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Cody core has eleven catches this year. He got Malone

202
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: on the roster too. He was inactive though this past

203
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: week September seems like a long time ago. When the

204
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: Bengals looked really good. It's for the first season and

205
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: then it's it's all gone away. Joe Flacco not expected

206
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: to return to the Ravens in twenty nineteen, so that

207
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: obviously signals that this is Lamar Jackson's job going forward.

208
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: So that's cool. I guess my only question is, does

209
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco land a starting job somewhere Jacksonville? Jacksonville that

210
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: there would be a perfect fit there, right, he would

211
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: be that jackson need a quarterback. They're not gonna go

212
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: out and and and sign a guy for Big Dough.

213
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco would be a nice fit there. And it

214
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: seems like every time there's a quarterback available, Hey, Tyrod

215
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: Taylor go to Jacksonville. Now what not Joe Flacco go

216
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville because Blake Poor that's done. There that that

217
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: that that that ship has sailed Marcus Hey so and

218
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: they're not going with Cody Kessler. So, I mean Flacco

219
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: looks like I mean, but I just they've got a

220
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: running game and they've got talent on defense. I mean,

221
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: I guess he's an upgrade from Cody Kessler and or

222
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, but like he's just so average, like he's elite.

223
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: Uh just you know, I think that maybe where he

224
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: ends up, maybe he goes to Washington if they can

225
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: figure out some sort of you know, their financial situation.

226
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: Smith is going to be okay and we'll come back. Yeah,

227
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: I didn't tell he's coming back soon. Like I I

228
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: I suspect they're going to go into twenty nineteen without

229
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: Alex Smith around there. Um, so they got to figure

230
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: out their quarterback situation. Money obviously is an issue for

231
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: them because they've got a lot of money tied up

232
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: in Alex Smith. And we always say this, but the

233
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: cap space keeps increasing and the teams get so crafty

234
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: and they they change. They'll also rewrite contracts. Like I

235
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: like to say, NFL contracts are merely like payment suggestions.

236
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: They're not. They're not in every other sport. A contract

237
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: is a contract. In the NFL, it is a payment

238
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: suggestion because they can let you go, and you know,

239
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: unless what are our contracts? Payment suggestions? Probably got nervous now.

240
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: Actually I wouldn't say that too loud because I don't

241
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: want people to get ideas around here. Eli Manning is

242
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: going to start again, and the Giants are quote hopeful

243
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: that Odell Beckham Jr. Will play. You know what, Eddie,

244
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: I gotta bring you in here, and I just gotta

245
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: ask why I it's Eli. This year has been looks

246
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: okay in certain games and you're like, oh, they scored

247
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: thirty points and like in the first half, like oh,

248
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: the offense could be something. And they're like, oh, they're

249
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: running the ball with s quon and O O b

250
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: J's hurt and they're still like and then and then

251
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: he has a game like he did yesterday and granted

252
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: the Titans evens is pretty good, but I don't know.

253
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: I think the last game or two, like, just give

254
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: me some Kyle a Lett, give me, like, give me

255
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: something just to watch, like figure out something because he's expensive.

256
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: The future is not with him obviously, just based on

257
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: age alone. Um, the the offensive court is super young,

258
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: So why does it make sense to have a thirty

259
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: eight year old quarterback? But um, I don't I don't

260
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: think the Giants themselves and sew this before to you guys,

261
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they know the direction of the team.

262
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: That's that's the unfortunate problem. I mean, they aren't helped

263
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: by and we we've talked about this before. They're not

264
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: helped with the quarterback class in this draft because it's

265
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: not particularly great, especially if Justin Herbert does not come

266
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: out and shows back to Oregon for one more year. Plus,

267
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: look what they're picking out to the ones are coming out,

268
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: they might get a chance to get them, Like they

269
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: have to hope that Herbert and Haskins both come out

270
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: because I don't know what else they want to do. Yeah,

271
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: so they're five and nine right now. It just you know,

272
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess for fantasy purposes, sure let's have O. B.

273
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: J come back and play because that helps. But just

274
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: from an actual football standpoint, like, I just I don't

275
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: know what's going on. I have no idea. The same

276
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: goes from Bargley too, Why why run him any times? Like,

277
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: just don't like, don't let them both sit out? Guys,

278
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: you did great this year. Just take the last year.

279
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: Just take take last. So I don't know anyway, Uh,

Speaker 1: go as planned, and maybe the biggest one game with

303
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,480

Speaker 1: ways in big situations. I mean, let's look at the

306
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: the top quarterback scoring for the week. We have to

307
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and number one, like, okay, fine, they're playing Arizona.

308
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: That that's that's plausible, Deshaun Watson to Okay, I can

309
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: get behind that. But more about like where some of

310
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: the big names finished. I mean Aaron Rodgers thirteen, Tom

311
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: Brady fourteen, Ben Roethlisberger fifteen, UM, Jared Goff twent, Andrew

312
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: Luck two, Dak Prescott twenty five. It was bad. It

313
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: was bad. I mean Dak Dak sucked. And then and

314
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: then even you know, Mariota had a bad game. Winston

315
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: had a bad game, although we kind of knew that

316
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: was Baltimore rain. But the question I have now is

317
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: and I know the answer, at least I have my

318
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: opinion on that outside of Patrick Mahomes, there's not a

319
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: mustar quarterback in the National Football League anymore. It isn't

320
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: like you know, when you had Aaron Rodgers and you

321
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: know we all time. Brady was a guy who were

322
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: starting every single week. Cam Newton was a guy who

323
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: were starting every single week. It ain't like that anymore.

324
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: It's just not And Marcus and I last week, it

325
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: was funny because we both we both were so worried

326
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen, although we did kind of like him,

327
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: we were so worried that we we just frippd ourselves

328
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: out into not starting him. And this guy ended up

329
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: scoring and he didn't really do it with his legs.

330
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: He had a rushing touchdown. But at this point, because

331
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback position gets such a big advantage in this week,

332
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: it was a lot of big names had had awful

333
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: stat lines, but some lesser guys had good, good, good

334
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: lines as well. At this point, like, are there any

335
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: must start quarterbacks anymore? Except for my homes? I mean,

336
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I don't really answers. I look

337
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: at that. I looked at last week though, and I

338
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: felt like on Monday or Tuesday that there was just

339
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: a lot of if the quarterback matchups last week, there

340
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: were a lot of things I mean, like Andrew luck

341
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: going against Dallas, that was not a sure thing. You know,

342
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned James going against the Ravens. I mean, we

343
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: knew that that was going to be difficult. Even you know,

344
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers against the Bears was not going to be sue.

345
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: But I mean we all like Brady and Big Ben,

346
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: and they both sucked like thirteen points apiece, So that

347
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: was also that was always also though in the realm

348
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: of outcomes too, that they could have average games. So

349
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: last week, but I look at this week right and

350
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: immediately see you know, Saints and Falcons, So like Drew Brees,

351
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: let's go, you know, so I think I think last

352
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: week was sort of worst case scenario because you had

353
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: questionable matchups that also great matchup that was one that

354
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: went bad. I mean, they're they're just I think this

355
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots Steelers. If you look at the history between

356
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: these two teams, especially when Brady and Big beneventaor center,

357
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: it's been a point Morgane sport So and Rodgers. I get,

358
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: you know, bad matchup, but Kirk Cousins good matchup. Miami

359
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: has been bad, but Kirk Cousins isn't I know, but

360
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's you. You look at the matchup

361
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, you know, Kirk Cousins is startable. Lift.

362
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: There was a bunch of just weird stuff that happened,

363
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: Like Kirk Cousins started the game seven of seven score,

364
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and the cow Boys offense got to midfield

365
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: like six times yesterday and then didn't cross midfield like

366
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: they just kept shooting themselves in the foot. It was

367
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: just we almost say this every single week. It's different

368
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: versions of weird in the NFL. And this this past week,

369
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we only had Rivers and Golf there forever

370
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: three hundred yards nobody's nobody through for three or more

371
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: passing scores. Um, I mean I think we had. I

372
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: think I counted. Uh you know there are to two

373
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: starters that had fewer than a hundred passing yards this

374
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 1: past week. Uh, let's see we got to six, uh

375
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: what ten, ten, eleven guys? I think that had fewer

376
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: than two hundred passing yards. I mean it just was

377
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: just like strange. But even I mean you look even

378
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: last week too, right, I mean Breeze had a bad game,

379
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: Rivers had a bad game, Cam had a bad game.

380
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: Cousins had a bad game, So I don't know, I

381
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: don't know that it's restricted to just this week. We're

382
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: just seeing a movement at the quarterback position where we're

383
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: seeing some lesser named guys who are going out there

384
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: and putting up numbers. I mean, heck, Lamar Jackson has

385
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: been better than Drew Brees in the last four weeks. Yeah,

386
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: the whole running backs don't matter thing is so played

387
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: out it should just be now quarterbacks. Quarterbacks don't matter

388
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: in fantasy. I mean, look, man, I look, the Eagles

389
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: plugged in the back up and won a Super Bowl

390
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: and then they take down the one of the top

391
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: two seeds in the NFC with that same on the road,

392
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: on the road, on the road, right, a ton of injury, right,

393
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: So obviously quarterbacks don't matter. Well, there won't be many

394
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: quarterbacks drafted in the first fifty picks next season, and

395
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: there should never be. I might, well, you know, but

396
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean, are in the leagues that we're in homes

397
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes will be, but no, Mahomes certainly will be. But

398
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: who else, that's the who else? Well, you know what

399
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: I would have said before this last three weeks, Jared

400
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: Goff would have been there. This last three weeks is

401
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: probably knocked him out of that top fifty man. Yeah,

402
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: because because you're talking about a young quarterback and you know,

403
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: running exactly, he's attached to a high scoring off right.

404
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean so like the last three weeks I think

405
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: have calmed down any of that high But before that, yeah,

406
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: in the leagues that we draft against other industry experts

407
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: or amongst ourselves, you're gonna see my Holmes is a

408
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: top fifty pick and you probably won't see another quarterback

409
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: come off the book rounds outside of and I and

410
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: that I always I love. I sort of looked doing

411
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: my drafts and I was like kind of drafting outside

412
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 1: of the industry because it's sort of eye opening as

413
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: to how people draft. You're in these drafts and like

414
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: there are three quarterbacks gone in the fourth round, You're like, whoa,

415
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: hang on, Like you have to sort of recalibrate a

416
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: little bit because I think I think outside of you know,

417
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: the industry or the high end or that you know,

418
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: just the the degenerate leagues that we all play in, um,

419
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: they're going to be you know the Patrick mahomes. Uh.

420
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: You know, I still think you're just the name value

421
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers. I think Andrew Luck like these are

422
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: guys are gonna come off the board early. We'll see

423
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: super flex in two QP leagues skyrocket in terms of

424
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: they're popularity in the next couple of years, just because

425
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: there's twenty five quarterbacks every on a given week that

426
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: could you feel comfortable with playing and I mean it's

427
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: it is. There's just more quality quarterback play in the NFL,

428
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: and the league rules have adjusted to the point where

429
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have major advantages. Now another position that tank, and

430
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: it's been tanking all year, but this was an especially

431
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: large tank. I guess, I don't know. I mean, tight

432
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: end was bad. Like Evan Anger right now is your

433
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: highest scoring tight end at fifteen points. Then you've got

434
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: Garrett Sellick, Trey Burton Kelsey who again did not have

435
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: a big game against the Chargers, and then some dude

436
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: named Jeremy Sprinkle. Jeremy was I mean coming out of

437
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: what the Arkansas I think was so he was a

438
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: he was a draft good draft prospect. He well, I

439
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: wish I started on this week because he had ten

440
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: Fantasy points. You had five tight ends in PPR leagues

441
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: with Tyner at least that is Smith scored. He had

442
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: the one one one line man. That's right, Yeah, seven

443
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: point one. Want you to guess who outside of without cheating,

444
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: Art's Kelsey, Gronk and Kittle right now are obviously the

445
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: top four was fifth and six and Tighten scoring Well,

446
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: what about Ebron? Ebron? I apologize he brought his fourth.

447
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: Who's fifth? And Kittle? What about Kittle? He's in the

448
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: jo Okay, he's fifth, sixth, Oh, I'm so, I'm just

449
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna go with o. J. Howard's probably still

450
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: six though he's falling now six man. Now see now

451
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: you're it's Austin freaking Hooper. Austin Hooper. Gross did you

452
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: score a point this week? Yeah, he's just kind. He's

453
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: been like, um, he's been like the like the every

454
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: man every single week, like we'll score like eight points.

455
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: And by war of attrition he's become the tight end

456
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: six and so and this is something that we can

457
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: talk about in the off season a little bit more

458
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: zero points in depth, Yeah, zero points. So do we

459
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: sort of melt the tight end position into the wide

460
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: receiver position? Just it's flexes. There's no more tight end.

461
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: It's just flexes and tight end is is gone. No, no,

462
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: you stick with because it sucks for everybody, and it

463
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: creates And now it's it's going to create in the

464
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: front half a draft. It's going to create this really

465
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: fun kind of like I think bubble almost because the

466
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: top four or five tight ends are going to go

467
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: on the first, fourth, five rounds and it will be

468
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: a free fall. Hey listen, I I would I'm traditional. Alright, Hell,

469
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: everyone wants to kick kickers out of the game. I

470
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: present you with Kaymie Fairbair alright, who helped me win

471
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: this week. So yeah, no, the tighter discussion, we can

472
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: do a whole show. Oh yes we can. But um no,

473
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: I agree with you guys. But there's gonna be a

474
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: lot of people out there who are of the opinion

475
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: that tight ends don't matter anymore and that you should

476
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: just add an extra flection because those people line up

477
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: and remove tight ends. Those people. And I said this

478
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and I made a lot of people's feelings hurt.

479
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: And I don't really care. And I will say this

480
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: about this because the argument for when when people start

481
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: saying stuff like that, it's I can't project them, so

482
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: let's just get rid of it. And I think that's

483
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: a weak argument, and I think tight ends that's not

484
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: even true either. Well that's also that's true. But also

485
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: I think I think with tight ends it is a

486
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: cyclical thing. Like, yes, right now, it's bad, but remember

487
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: like a few years ago, we had a whole plethora

488
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: of an Let's keep in mind also the fact that

489
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 1: you know, we had you know, Hunter Henry got hurt,

490
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: so we didn't have him for much of the year. O. J. Howard,

491
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: who was playing well ends up Gelson, greg Olsen got hurt.

492
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: You know. I mean, like I think we may be

493
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: seeing sort of the end of of Gronk. I think

494
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: he's sort of, you know, heading down to the end

495
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: of his career. Also Evan Ingram, Evan Ingram, you know,

496
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, so like I mean, I think there are Doyle,

497
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: we we've seen, you know, guys like Doyle's that Ebron

498
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: had a career year. We've been introduced to George Kittle

499
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: in a big way. So I think there there's opportunities

500
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: for to come back. We still have a group of

501
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,239
Speaker 1: young guys, like you know, we don't know what Mike

502
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: Gaziki could potentially do. Down there in Miami. I mean,

503
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: there are a lot of guys that are on the

504
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: way up. And I think there's one thing we've learned

505
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: about tight end, it's that it takes it literally takes

506
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: two or three years for a tight end in the NFL.

507
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: Tight end typically, Yeah, you typically don't see what Evan

508
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: Ingram did. You typically don't see George Kittle, a fifth

509
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: round draft pick come out here and be basically be

510
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. Right, So, I mean, I think you know,

511
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you're right. I'm sure people will say,

512
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, let's just get rid of them. But I

513
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: think it's a knee jerk reaction because people are just frustrated,

514
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: and so I don't want to do that. No, And

515
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. Other weird thing wondered four Net.

516
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah what that, Doug Brown, You're off my Christmas list, dude. Really,

517
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: it's just apparent planned where they gave because they wanted

518
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: to say, David Williams, he had fourteen touches in the

519
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: first half, which is normal, right, but some month pays

520
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: for nearly thirty in the game, and they had one

521
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: none in the third quarter. By the way, that was

522
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: a completely competitive game all the way through, right, and

523
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: which has made it even more baffling. Why there, it's

524
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: one thing if you're getting blayed out. Whatever you gotta see.

525
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: Four Nette returned to kick? Yes, yes, actually he returned

526
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: the kick. He has not returned to kick. I don't

527
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: believe it's probably been maybe since his freshman or sophomore.

528
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: Don't say that he did. Did he do it at LSU? Even? Yeah,

529
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: he did it. I remember him returning kicks at LSU.

530
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: I actually remember That's how I originally saw for new

531
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, this guy's like us,

532
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: like a four three just trucking dudes, and hey, you

533
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. Talking about how he returned kicks,

534
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: Doug Marone is not going to return to Jacksonville next season.

535
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: He keeps doing and that's yeah, I don't get it.

536
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: That was one of the weirder things of the week.

537
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey after the game was like, I'm only going

538
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: to care about myself, which which I get it in

539
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: this in this instance, like you just got to take

540
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: care of yourself. Things are deterior for Net returned kicks

541
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: his freshman year at LSU. Man I just if I

542
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: could make a suggestion. I say, Jason Mendoza should be

543
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and only people

544
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: who watched The Good Place will get that joke. But

545
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: that's fine. That is absolutely yeah. I know it's like whatever,

546
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: it's fine. It was for me. It made me happy,

547
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: and I'm okay. I started watching that show and like

548
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,239
Speaker 1: me and my girlfriend after three or four episodes were like,

549
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: it's good, it's a funny show. Stick with it. And

550
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: I love Ted Danson, I mean, Sam alone one of

551
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: my favorite characters of all time from TV sitcom history.

552
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: But I couldn't stick with it. Sorry, pal, It's all right,

553
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: short attention span, alright, I still love it. I don't care. Hey,

554
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: So let's look ahead a little bit, shall we. There,

555
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: I I put down five guys who have had let's

556
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: just say, interesting recent performances, and you know, so much,

557
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: I feel like so much of what we end up

558
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: talking about in the offseason. We talk a lot about

559
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: how guys finish, and you know, we we try to

560
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: use that to project the head and see what guys

561
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: will do next year, where we should draft them, what

562
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 1: have you? So? I picked a few guys who have

563
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: had interesting recent performances and you get your thoughts on

564
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: on what you expect from the next year. So first

565
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: on the list, No surprise, Derrick Henry, who has just

566
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: been bananas the last two weeks, four and nine rushing

567
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: yards in the past two games. Didn't realize until later

568
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: that he actually completed a pass yesterday. I didn't say

569
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: that he had a six yard completion yesterday. So he's

570
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: literally done just about everything for the Titans the last

571
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. So yeah, I mean he's had seventy

572
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: eight points in his last two games, and before that

573
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: he had so I mean he is he's like within

574
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: five or six points of being in the top fifteen

575
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: running back, right. So I mean when we start projecting

576
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: him next year, do we remember weeks you know, weeks

577
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: fourteen and fifteen Derrick Henry? Do we remember weeks you know,

578
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: one through twelve whatever? For Derrick Henry as a fantasy skeptic, like,

579
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm not going to reach for him, Like I'm afraid that,

580
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, people will remember his finish or they'll look

581
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: at his season long totals and be like, oh, yeah,

582
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: he's so he's totally an RV too, Like I'll take

583
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: him in the fourth round. Let's look at the the

584
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: success that Derrick Henry has had, uh, compared to whether

585
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: or not the Titans have won or lost games. Okay,

586
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: so they beat up the Patriots. He had two touchdowns

587
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: in that game. Right then they lost to the Colts.

588
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: He had forty six yards rushing. They lost to Houston.

589
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: He had thirty yards rushing. They beat the Jets forty

590
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown. They beat the Jaguars two thirty

591
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: eight four. They beat the Giants a hundred seventy and two.

592
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: There's a correlation, and uh, I think the Titans are

593
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: finally figuring it out. Derrick Henry was one of my

594
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: favorite I don't know if he was gonna be a

595
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: draft bargain, but like sleeper breakout candidate guys, I guess

596
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: he wasn't a sleeper, more of a breakout guy. And

597
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: I guess better late than never. I don't know why

598
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: they weren't giving this ball the football to this dude

599
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: like this earlier on in the season. Now, you can't

600
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: handle thirty three carries a week every single week. There

601
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: you go what I mean. But I mean, but Marcus,

602
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: he was really getting enough touches to produce in the

603
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: first half of the season, and now you're starting to

604
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: see what this guy can do. And we always talk

605
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: about it. He was here at NFL Network is rookie year.

606
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: This dude is just gigdantic. I don't know how it

607
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: seems tackle him. The problem with Henry is when he's

608
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: on the field, it makes you more predictable. If you're

609
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: ahead and you're dominating the game like they did against

610
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: the Giants yesterday, you can play Derrick Henry the snaps.

611
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: But if you're in neutral game scripts like Dean Lewis

612
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: has a receiving threat, he has a uh more of

613
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: a shifty, elusive, make you miss element to his game,

614
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: whereas Derrick Henry, I mean, he's just a tractor. He

615
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: just goes downfield and just mos through people. So I

616
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: think from a like predictability standpoint, when they're in close

617
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: games and when they have to throw to catch up,

618
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, I think that's why we

619
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: see Henry's kind of just you should spike all over

620
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: the place. But but yeah, I mean, it's it's crazy.

621
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 1: Since since the Titans by so since they came out

622
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: of their buying Week nine, he's averaging six point five

623
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: yards per tenth and has ten scores. Yeah, it's bananas. Yeah.

624
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean I'm looking I'm looking at like the Russian

625
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: leaders right now too, and I'm looking at some of

626
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: the guys who dominate the touches in their respective back fields.

627
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: And you know, you've got Todd Gurley, who's second in rushing,

628
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: and obviously the Rams are having a great year, and

629
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: you know Zeke leads in rushing, and the Cowboys are

630
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: are you know, in in line for a playoff spot,

631
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: can win the division, would have you, but you know

632
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: you've got your David Johnson, You've got se Kwan, You've

633
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: got Adrian Peterson. You know you've got Joe Mixon, You've

634
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: got Peyton Barber. These are all guys who are dominating

635
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: the touches and they're among the top ten and rushing,

636
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: but their teams aren't going anywhere either. And I think,

637
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, this comes back to team building and the

638
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: whole you know, running backs don't matter sort of thing.

639
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: And I think if you are the Titans, for instance,

640
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: and you're looking at trying to kind of break the

641
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: hold on that division, UM, I get why they want

642
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: to integrate Dion Lewis. Why they don't want to give

643
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: it to to you know, I mean for our selfish purposes. Yeah,

644
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: you give the bat they're againy thirty times and let

645
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: them rumble. But I get for for the Titans why

646
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: they're a little probably more hesitant to try and like

647
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: just load up on a big, bruising back, especially for

648
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: an offense that isn't necessarily the most fast paced unless

649
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: this was their game plan all year around. I mean, like,

650
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, you're stay in the hunt for a playoff spot,

651
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: and then you get to the second half of the

652
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: season and you just you just run him. And that's

653
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: been the case. There's been games earlier on this season

654
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: he barely touched the football and it was all Dean Lewis.

655
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: And now Dean Lewis has basically been relegated to maybe

656
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: not waiver wire fodder, but he's certainly not startable in

657
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: most leagues. And Derrick Hennry is just trucking dudes. Now. Yeah,

658
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: I also say to Jack Conklin, the right tackle missed

659
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: the first three weeks of the season. It kind of

660
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: slowed their offense down to start the year. In Conklin

661
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: has been one of the best tackles. I mean, it's

662
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: hard to say that because tackle play in the NFL.

663
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,479
Speaker 1: So Jack Conklin is actually one of the best tackles

664
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and he's been back healthy over the

665
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: last Like whatever, Is Henry a top fifty pick next season?

666
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: I guess I guess certain time he will be one. Yeah,

667
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: he will be He will be one. I will not

668
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: be drafting him again in the tire. Will certainly be

669
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: a top fifty pick, but I will Josh Allen, We've

670
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: talked about multiple times on this show in recent weeks,

671
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: eighteen or more fantasy points in four straight games, a

672
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: lot of it because of his legs, and even though

673
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: he didn't have a ton of rushing yards on Sunday,

674
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: he did have a rushing touchdown, which certainly helped. I mean, look, look,

675
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: he's not going to be in the top ten of quarterbacks,

676
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: probably not even the top fifteen of quarterbacks. But I

677
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: do think there are going to be a lot of

678
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: folks who kind of you pull the trigger on him

679
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: and maybe a second quarter, you know, and certainly in

680
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: two QB leagues, but even people who just want to

681
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: draft two quarterbacks. I haven't feeling Josh Allen, He's gonna

682
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: get drafted in a lot of leagues. Yeah. Well it's

683
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: because and and I've said it a million times, running backs,

684
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: Um see, I got a quarterbacks who couldn't run with

685
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: the football, who are basically running backs are going to

686
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: have more value. That's why we're gonna see the value

687
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson rise. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised

688
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,719
Speaker 1: if next season a lot of fantasy analysts out there

689
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: project him to be a top ten fantasy quarterback because

690
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: of his goes as a runner and because he reminds

691
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: us a lot of a guy like Mike Vick and

692
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He's not nearly as I don't know that

693
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: he's going to be nearly as prolific statistically as a

694
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: guy like Lamar Jackson, but you can take him late.

695
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: And there's some very interesting second year quarterbacks because Baker

696
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: Mayfield is gonna have a season under his belt, right,

697
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: So he's a guy who has shown some flashes this season.

698
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: We talked about Lamar Jackson, We're talking about Josh Allen.

699
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: So there there's gonna be some some very interesting second

700
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: year quarterbacks who could end up making a bigger impact. Uh,

701
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: next season in twenty nineteen. Yeah, it's gonna be weird. Uh.

702
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis, who when he began the year, I think

703
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: the Niners were hoping that he would mostly just be

704
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: a special teams guy kicking punt returns. Obviously because of injuries,

705
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: he has worked his way in and he's played well

706
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: thirteen or more PPR points in four straight games. This

707
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: is an offense that is going to have some changes

708
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: next season, simply because Jimmy Garoppolo will be healthy. Jerick

709
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: McKinnon remember him, He'll be back in theory and he'll

710
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: be healthy, you know, so like you know, things will

711
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: sort of change. But Pierre Garson likely gone right, he's

712
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 1: on I R. I can't imagine he's coming back next year.

713
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Mark, he's good. When should be back? We

714
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: know George Kittle is going to be very much front

715
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: and center in that offense. But Dante Pettis has the

716
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: look to me of kind of a I don't know,

717
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: a wide receiver three or four. I think he's going

718
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: to be a really interesting like eight or ninth round picnic. Yeah,

719
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna because remember how many, how how

720
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: much we all love the forty Niners offense coming into

721
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: this season, it sort of fell apart. It's still worked out.

722
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean they're still like top three in rushing yards

723
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: per game. Um. Kittle has been a beast all season long.

724
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis has been a stud for the last month. Um,

725
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: I'll say to like, the Niners are going evaluation mode

726
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: right now. Mark, he's good when only played seven snaps yesterday. Um,

727
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned Garson will be off the roster. I

728
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: kind of it's almost Pettis could kind of be their

729
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: number one receiver. I mean, I mean, kid will be

730
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: their de facto number one, but their top wide out.

731
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: I think Pettis might be be that guy. I think

732
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: so too. I mean, I like what I've seen out

733
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: of him, the guys playing really good lately, really good

734
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: football lately. I I think he's gonna be a guy

735
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: that that gets a lot of her. I think he's

736
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: that guy that we're all gonna be like, hey, I

737
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: got the sleeper pick for you, Dante Pettis. And then

738
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: by the time we get to August, like everybody will

739
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: be on Dante Pettis and he'll, you know, he'll be

740
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: overvalued by the time we actually gets hit draft season.

741
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: So all right, so those are the guys who've been good.

742
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins not so much, fewer than seventeen fantasy points

743
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: and five of his last six. We thought, coming to

744
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: Minnesota where he had Steffan Thigs and Adam Feeling and

745
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: a healthy Dalvin Cook, we thought that maybe, you know,

746
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: we were ready to see how great Kirk Cousins could be,

747
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: that he had the chance to be, you know, certainly

748
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: a top ten, maybe eight, top five fantasy quarterback. At

749
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: this point, how much does Kirk Cousins even get drafted

750
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: next year? Now he'll get drafted, but I mean he

751
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: won't we get drafted as a as a QB one.

752
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: He was, he was amongst the list of quarterbacks, and

753
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: there was a long list that you drafted late if

754
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: your strategy was to wait on a quarterback. It was like,

755
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: you know, Kirk Cousins, and it was Big Band, and

756
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: it was Philip rivers Um, you know, Jared Goff and

757
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: those are the guys you were kind of tark getting late.

758
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 1: I think now he's going to be more of a

759
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: QB two. And because fantasy football is so reactional, I mean,

760
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, we we we we tend to forget the

761
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: the you know, the past. You know, he's gonna come

762
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: off saying, well, you know, hey, Cousins had a bad year.

763
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: We forget that. In Washington for a few years he

764
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: was a top ten quarterback and he was very good.

765
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: We kind of forget that, We forget the past like that.

766
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: So Cousins is gonna end up being a QB two.

767
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: And you know, it's amazing too that his numbers haven't

768
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: been better, uh, considering the fact that he's got you know,

769
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 1: thieves having a great year, although he's he struggled lately.

770
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: Stefan Digg is having a great year as well. Other

771
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: than that, and they haven't really had much in terms

772
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: of pass catchers, so Kyle Rudolph has been absent pretty

773
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: much all gone. Yeah, I do wonder if there's something

774
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: more going on, obviously, because you know, John d. Flippo

775
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: was fired mid season. This is a team that's going

776
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs this year, barring I mean barring.

777
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: They dropped their last two games against the Lines and

778
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: the Bears and then the Eagles went out or something crazy.

779
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this team is going to the playoffs and

780
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: they're gonna be the number six seed. There's there's something

781
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: going on with the Vikings. I mean, there's some sort

782
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 1: of disconnect between Zimmer and the rest of the coaching

783
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: staff for the front office, because I mean, you don't

784
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: fire your offensive coordinator first year after signing Kirk Cousins

785
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: to an eighty four million dollar deal, of something is

786
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: not right. Yeah, there was, well there weren't there rumors

787
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: that now that Zimmer and and d flip over happy,

788
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: don't they don't get along? Sure, I'm sure that happens

789
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: all the time in the NFL, But there's something going on,

790
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: and I just have to thank that that next season.

791
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got Adam Feeland, They've got ste Fun Diggs.

792
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 1: Their offensive line has fallen apart this year for for

793
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: a number of reasons. I've got to think though, with

794
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: that that core, they'll get something figured out. I would

795
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: think so. Um so so maybe, yeah, maybe maybe Becausins

796
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: is a bargain. May he ends being a draft bargain

797
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: When it's all Kirk was a draft bargain this year,

798
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: and I mean he was fantastic to open the season,

799
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, the last since since basically Week eight,

800
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: it's kind of it's gone sideways. He had the big

801
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: game against Packers, but he's been under two and or

802
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: fifty yards in three straight. Right, James Conner, he was

803
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 1: the RB six through first fifteen weeks. Uh, he although

804
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: you know obviously he's been hurt the last couple haven't played.

805
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: Even when he was on the field the last few

806
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: the rushing totals were down quite a bit from where

807
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 1: they were earlier in the season. I made a joke

808
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: on Twitter about, you know, Jalen Samuel's kind of playing

809
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: well and that you know, James Connor is the side

810
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: piece who became the main thing and now watching his

811
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: significant other, Uh, you know, kind of have fun and

812
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: meet somebody new. Realistically, James Conner will probably come back

813
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: as the Steelers RB one, And I guess as long

814
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: as as that's the situation, he's what second third round

815
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: pick next year, I think, yeah, I honestly think he's

816
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,919
Speaker 1: a back in the first round pick. He will get considerations,

817
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: get considerations. And I mean Connor also, like I just

818
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe this time off here with the injury,

819
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: who's gonna help him a little bit. But I mean,

820
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: this is the most he's played in a while. You know,

821
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: they don't play. They don't play seasons as long in college,

822
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: and uh, he had Levian Bell ahead of him, so

823
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: he wasn't really doing much last season. And Connor is

824
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: in an offense which I talked about, just breeds very

825
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: good running back production. And that's how it's been for years, uh,

826
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, dating dating back to the start of Levian

827
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: and so this is uh, this is a guy. Yeah,

828
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: I think he's a back end of the first round,

829
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: top half of the second round draft pick across the board.

830
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 1: So it doesn't it just doesn't. It hasn't mattered who's

831
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: back there for Pittsburgh. I mean, levy On Bell is

832
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: averaged over twenty five points per game. Uh, D'angela Williams

833
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: when he was the starter was over twenty two points

834
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: for game. James Conner this year over twenty two points

835
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: for game James Conner and his for excuse me, Jaylen

836
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: Samuels in his last two starts seventeen and nineteen your points.

837
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: And yeah, it just kind of doesn't really matter who's

838
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: back there for Pittsburgh. They're gonna be producing. And yeah,

839
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: it's a running back for one. I mean that makes

840
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Samuels an obvious handcuff. Then next year whenever, whenever

841
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: you draft James Conner, that means you have to know

842
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: plan on trying to get Jalen Samuels later on in

843
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: that draft, because you know something happens. We know that

844
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: he can jump in there and and be very productive.

845
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: Um quarterbacks like, it's it's time to start looking ahead

846
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: again and we'll start doing you know, actual rankings. I'm

847
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: sure later on in the show, but I was thinking

848
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: about the top ten quarterbacks for next year right and

849
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: looking at I looked at four guys who were sort

850
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: of on the fringes, uh in terms of the quarterback

851
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: scoring so far this year and just outside the top ten,

852
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: and whether or not you guys would put these guys

853
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: into your top ten next season. So right now, Russell

854
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: Wilson sits at quarterback eleven and has really turned it

855
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: on since November early in the year. Just didn't really

856
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: do much. Still hasn't really run the ball a whole lot.

857
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: That's taken a big chunk out of his game. Three

858
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: rushing the yew he's got I'm looking at it. He's

859
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: got two games with no rushing rushingdowners either no rushing touchdowns.

860
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 1: I mean this is a guy that accounted for all

861
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: but two of the Seahawks touchdowns last year. Would either

862
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: of you make him a top ten quarterback next year?

863
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: Probably back end of the top ten, that's where i'd

864
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: have him. I'd agree with that. I think he's probably

865
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: gonna be eight or nine next year. And he's got

866
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: multiple passing cores and he's been really good. He he

867
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: always starts off slowly. We kind of know that would Russell,

868
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: and then he picks it up and he's been pretty

869
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: It's reliable outside a one start a couple of weeks.

870
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: It's it's also remarkable to I mean, Seattle is run heavy,

871
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: that's by far the highest clip in the NFL. And

872
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: Wilson still like a back half, and I wonder how

873
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: much you know, Look, I I still think Doug Baldwin

874
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: is not completely healthy or he certainly hasn't been healthy man,

875
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: So giving him an offseason to get healthy and get

876
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: right again. And suddenly you put Doug Baldwin with Tyler Lockett,

877
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: who's had his breakout. One little team. It's a nice

878
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: team to look at. Here's a big one. Tom Brady

879
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 1: right like Tom Brady right now is the QB thirt team.

880
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: We're always used to this time of year. Just you know,

881
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: tom Brady's like, set it and forget it in your

882
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: line up, right, you put him in, You're not worried

883
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: about it. Whatever. It hasn't been the case. And I

884
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: said before the season, you know, one, it's forty one,

885
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: and I know he's eating his avocado ice cream and

886
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: he's got his TV twelve method and all this kind

887
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: of stuff, and that's cool, but there's only so long

888
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: you can stiff arm father time. And you know, the

889
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: pieces around him aren't the same. Gronk is certainly not

890
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: the same guy, and it's it's fair to start asking,

891
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady, is he still an elite fantasy quarterback now? Not?

892
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: I mean, and we've started to see it in the

893
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: second half of the season. Uh, he's given you a

894
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: nineteen or more fantasy points twice since Week eight, he's

895
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: given you a thirteen, fifteen, eleven, fourteen, thirteen. And we've

896
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: start of seen this in the past. I remember after

897
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: they had lost to Kansas City a few seasons ago

898
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: and everyone was freaking out that Tom Brady was going

899
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: to start seeing his numbers decline, and then ultimately he rebounded,

900
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: but I don't know that there's going to be a

901
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: rebound in in twenty nineteen. As you mentioned, you can't

902
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: stiff arm father time forever. He's gonna be well, yes,

903
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: well you know father Time got him. That's in temporary

904
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: and what is what is dead may never die. So

905
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: Brady next season, and I mean just quickly looking at

906
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, I mean he's homes Is going ahead

907
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: of him. Luck's going to have him Breeze Newton, uh,

908
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. I would guess Golf Rogers will go ahead

909
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: of him. And then you get into that like Russell

910
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: Wilson area, Matt Ryan, Um, you know, Big Ben, that's

911
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: where she's gonna be, right, That's where that's where Brady

912
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: is gonna be. I think Rogers is a legit or not.

913
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: Rivers is a legit top ten quarterback. Now I agree,

914
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: I have no doubt in my mind he's a top

915
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: two quarterback. Okay, So Dak Prescott right like that early

916
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: in the year, we have to we have to Mary Cooper. No,

917
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: he was lights out. I mean when when they got

918
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: to Mary, he was lights out. Obviously Sunday was not

919
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: the case against the Colts. But you know, obviously the

920
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: idea we that they will have a Maria Cooper for

921
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: a full season. He'll have a full off season to

922
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: work with him. We know Zeke's going to be there.

923
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe they'll figure out something, you know, who knows,

924
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: maybe Jeff Swain becomes the tight end that that they wandered,

925
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: like Jarwin or Rico gab whoever. I mean, so is

926
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: Dak Is he good enough to creep in and be

927
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback? I don't think so. I don't

928
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: think so either, I will say, I mean Michael Gallup

929
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: has been a great He's gonna be a great number

930
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: two receiver. There's been a few plays this season where

931
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: Dad overthrew him and I'm like wide open. Dak is

932
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: definitely missing things this year, and I think he will

933
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: always kind of be inconsistent play to play in game

934
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: to game. Um. I think that's just the style of

935
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: quarterback he is. And as a result for fantasy I

936
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be a top ten quarterback, but he's

937
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: just gonna be another one. This is like we've been

938
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: talking on the show. I mean, there's like twenty five

939
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and he's just like right in the middle of

940
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: the eighteenth best one for fantasy and dude, you know,

941
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: you know who I have been writing into my playoffs

942
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: and I didn't play him this week. Jameis freaking Winston,

943
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: like dude, and I didn't draft him in in any

944
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: of those leagues because he was suspended to begin the year.

945
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: No one drafted him really like that, And I know it,

946
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: Marcus knows. I always, you know, tell the story of

947
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: how I want a fantasy championship years ago with Matt

948
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: Moore is my quarterback at the end of the season,

949
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: because my dudes got got hurt. Like, this is a

950
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: position that's it's it's the easiest position to replace in

951
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: fantasy football. It really is. You lose a quarterback, you

952
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: pick another one up. Josh Allen still available in over

953
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: NFL dot com leagues. The guy has been a top

954
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: ten quarterback over the last four weeks. I mean, it

955
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: is what it is. Yeah, okay, we gotta change that.

956
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: Wait when we we we have to make we have

957
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: to make there be some penalty for like waiting on

958
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback, for waiting too long to get a quarterback.

959
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 1: There's gotta be you go to QB or you go

960
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: super flex and then that will change. I mean, I'm

961
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 1: in a couple of those leagues and there is nothing

962
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, there's nothing, so that makes it

963
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 1: a little bit tougher. And then you have to come

964
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: to the to the you know, conclusion of whether or

965
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: not you're gonna actually play a quarterback over a good

966
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 1: running back or a wide receiver in a PPR league,

967
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: and it makes things very interesting. So but and you know,

968
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: Marcus has said this before, and I think at some point,

969
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, in the off season, we discussed there's a

970
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: lot of things that that need to be changed within

971
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: the game of fantasy football. Now, if you're someone who's

972
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: just playing for fun, you're playing with your buddies, you're

973
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: playing at work, then maybe that's different. But if you're

974
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,919
Speaker 1: in competitive leagues, there's a lot of things that could

975
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: be changed for the better within what is continuing to

976
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: be a growing industry. Yeah about getting on a soapbox here,

977
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think the changes that we

978
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: can make, you know, and I still I still want

979
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: to have our Big Fantasies summit, but I think we

980
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: can make changes that that could be applicable for for everybody,

981
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 1: because I think we should you know, we should be

982
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: as inclusive as we can and get as many people

983
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: playing as we can. Um. So you know, anyway, that's

984
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: that's another story for another time. Uh. Last one we

985
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: talked about a little bit earlier Kirk Cousins. You know,

986
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: so maybe because they can fix some things there in Minnesota,

987
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 1: maybe you know, we shouldn't be so harsh on judging

988
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and he can be better next year. Or

989
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: is there a reason that Washington parted company with him

990
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: after all those years. I think a big part of

991
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: it does come down to the offensive line, and we

992
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: just discussed it a few minutes, agope, but the tension

993
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: between de Filippo and the rest of the coaching staff.

994
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: Their offensive line has been horrible. I mean, Cousin has

995
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: been top three in pressure rate all season long. They

996
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of pressure on fifty percent of his

997
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: dropbacks on third downs this year. It's by far the

998
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 1: highest rate in the NFL. Their bottom five and yards

999
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: before first contact. I know they rushed the Paul well

1000
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, but that's the Dolphins front seven. Um,

1001
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, it's one of those things where

1002
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we go back to this like Cousins is

1003
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: kind of in that like quagmire of like top fifteen,

1004
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: top eight teen running quarterbacks with uh with Doc right, Yeah,

1005
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: I think Kirk Cousin is gonna be an interesting I

1006
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: think he will be a very interesting conversation next year

1007
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: when we kind of try to figure it out. And

1008
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: so much of it might have to do with who

1009
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator is, if they stay with Stefanski, if

1010
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: they go somewhere else, and I think that'll that'll have

1011
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: a lot to do with it. So anyway, that's our

1012
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, look at top to QB's. We'll kind of

1013
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: do some of these is we go on through the

1014
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: offseason and uh and kind of figure out you know,

1015
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 1: we'll be doing rankings and all that kind of stuff,

1016
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:09,399

1030
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: just because it is Championship week doesn't mean that you

1031
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 1: can take the week off from waivers. If you are playing,

1032
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: this is important. Go out and get somebody off the

1033
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: waiver wire that can help. There's a long list of

1034
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: guys that are available and potentially productive for you this week.

1035
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: I highlighted just a few names that I think are

1036
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: of interest. Uh the first one being Jamal Williams. Aaron

1037
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,720
Speaker 1: Jones left the game on Sunday with a knee injury.

1038
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: At this moment, we're not sure exactly the severity of it,

1039
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: and we know whether or not he will potentially miss time.

1040
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 1: But we've been saying it fabs handcuff your running backs.

1041
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: Uh So, if you've got Aaron Jones, If especially if

1042
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: you have Aaron Jones and you're still playing, go get

1043
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams. But even if you don't, if Jamal Williams

1044
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: is the guy, go after him. Go I mean like

1045
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: he he could end up being an RB two for you,

1046
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: Like listen, I get you know, I get it. Aaron

1047
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: Jones is a better running back. We've said it all

1048
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: season long, and he was tremendous. But the opportunities that

1049
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: Williams will have in an offense where you can't put

1050
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: extra guys in the box because Aaron Rodgers will pick

1051
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: you apart, Like against the Bears, he had a great game.

1052
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: Like once Aaron Jones left, there was in another Green

1053
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: Bay running back who touched the football, but Jamal Williams.

1054
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: So if he's out there, get him again from Jets.

1055
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: He's an RB two flex Like at worst, what are

1056
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: the running backs? Do they have? People forget? Jamal Williams

1057
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 1: was good last season. In the second half of the season,

1058
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: he was putting up some pretty decent relative Jamal Williams

1059
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: was good because he got a ton of touches, but

1060
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: volume miss King and fantasy football, and that's why that's

1061
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: why you pick him up. Absolutely. He just has the

1062
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 1: elusiveness of like, I don't know, like a vacuum cleaner

1063
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: that it's all about volume. It's all about volume with him.

1064
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: I think somebody said he has the shiftiness of a

1065
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: Cadillac or something like a seventy eight Cattia or something

1066
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: like that. Like, I mean, I wish, but if if

1067
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: he's getting eighteen touches per game in that offense, man,

1068
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm buying that broken down Cadillac Caitlin Blige mostly because look, man,

1069
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. If Kenyan Drake, you know,

1070
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 1: beat Adam Gaze that Connect four a few times, if

1071
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: he like took the last piece of pizza and like

1072
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: didn't say anything, like left the corner of milk and

1073
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: just put it back in the fridge, I don't know.

1074
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 1: But Frank Gore gets hurt and nothing changes and Kenyan

1075
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: drinks usage ranks instead. Kalin Blage comes in, gets all

1076
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: these carries, rips off with like a seventy five yards

1077
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: puts down run, So I may actually rank him ahead

1078
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: of Drake. This week, Adam Gates said that Drake not

1079
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: getting touch has had nothing to do with any kind

1080
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: of injury, and why not look and see what you

1081
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: have in Belage over the next two weeks of the season,

1082
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: because Frank Gore is done, He's probably gonna play the

1083
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: rest of the year. What I like about about calin

1084
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: Blage and this is this goes back to his days

1085
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: at Arizona State. He is a big play guy, right

1086
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: and we saw that yesterday with a big long touchdown run.

1087
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: He I think he's a high ceiling, low floor guy

1088
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: because if he doesn't rip off one of those long runs,

1089
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: he's also the guy who can give you, you know,

1090
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: ten carries for seventeen yards or something like that. So

1091
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: just understand there's kind of upside and there's also a

1092
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 1: lot of risk involved with caln Blage, that's all. Uh.

1093
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 1: Robert Foster and Adam Rank and I jumped on the

1094
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: Robert Foster hype train last week because we felt like,

1095
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,439
Speaker 1: even if Josh Allen doesn't have a great passing game,

1096
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: Robert Foster just has to catch one long pass, really uh,

1097
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: And he had over a hundred yards, he had a touchdown. UM,

1098
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know what this means for

1099
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 1: him going forward, but he is especially if you're in

1100
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: a deeper league, if you're you know, somewhere where the

1101
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 1: waiver wire is shallow, Robert Foster is that high ceiling guy.

1102
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: He's that lid popper that again, he doesn't need a

1103
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: lot of targets, He only needs one or two to

1104
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: make something happen. Foster trails only t Y Hilton entire

1105
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: killing games with twenty plus yards over the last five weeks. Yeah,

1106
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: he's been I was, I was writing about it earlier

1107
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: this year. I mean, he was a very highly touted

1108
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: high school prospect going in Alabama, then got hurt, basically

1109
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: played probably played hurt at Alabama's entire year. Calvin excuse me,

1110
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: his entire time in Alabama, Calvin rail loose, the number

1111
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: one receiver there. Mark Cooper was there when Robert Foster

1112
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: was early, uh in early. He never really had a

1113
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: chance to blossom at Alabama, played hurt when undrafted. But man,

1114
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: he's got some serious, serious juice. By the way, there's

1115
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: a he's played. He's definitely played himself into like the

1116
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 1: number two role. Buffalo needs a number one receivers here.

1117
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: They've they've desperately got to get some some more bodies

1118
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,879
Speaker 1: and more talented pass catches in there for Josh Allen.

1119
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: But Foster's he's the real deal. Man report out there

1120
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: that for nets dealing with an injured foot and could

1121
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 1: be limited in Week sixteen. That would be a fitting

1122
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: into his So guess what so Hey, t j Yelden

1123
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: back on deck? Everybody? Well, what about Williams? I don't

1124
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 1: know for Baron wanted to see this Williams. How about

1125
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: how about they traded the third round pick for Carlo

1126
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 1: a healthy series, healthy scratch this week? Hey, how about

1127
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: the backfield to avoid? So, speaking of backfields, Elijah McGuire

1128
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,479
Speaker 1: two straight weeks as the Jets featured back. Isaiah Correll

1129
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: is on injured reserve, so you want to take a

1130
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: look at him as well. We talked about John Kelly

1131
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: uh as well. Other wide receivers to target besides Foster,

1132
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson has had two games with seventeen plus Fantasy

1133
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 1: points and Sam Donald you know, you know I mentioned

1134
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: the second year quarterbacks in twenty nineteen earlier. Sam Donald's

1135
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,760
Speaker 1: another one. He's showing some flashes. He's shown some flashes

1136
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: as a potential playmaker. They just need to get him

1137
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: some more weapons in that offense. But Robbie Anderson has

1138
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: been has been better over the last couple of weeks.

1139
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: Tim Patrick Dashawn Hamilton, who we've also talked about, and

1140
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean this is for the deepest of the deep,

1141
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: Alex Erickson, because somebody's got to catch the ball in Cincinnati,

1142
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: don't they. Yeah, I stop. I used to believe in me, Hey,

1143
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: somebody's got to catch it philosophy, and I've learned that. Yeah. No, not,

1144
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 1: that's not really true. No, not, not. Everybody has to

1145
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: catch the football there. Um. A couple of defense is

1146
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: also worth noting. The Titans. They get to take on

1147
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: Washington this week. And look, I mean, I know Washington

1148
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: gotta win against Jacksonville, but it wasn't like they lit

1149
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: the world on fire. So you give that the Titans

1150
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: defense to spin and the Colts because they have the

1151
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: New York Football Giants. Sorry Eddie, Sorry, Ed Yeah, I

1152
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: don't think I don't think he's really up hurt. I

1153
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: think he I think you're now relegated to I think

1154
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: he a very good fantasy matchup for I think he

1155
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: knows the situation. I would also say, you know, if

1156
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: the Patriots are another Patriot, I'm sorry. The Dolphins are

1157
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: out there in your league against the Jaguars this week,

1158
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: especially now this news that there's potentially no for NET.

1159
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,919
Speaker 1: They still are starting Cody Kessler at quarterback. Um, yeah,

1160
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are still floating around there. They might be

1161
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: an option for you as well this week. So all right,

1162
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 1: it's Monday, and you know, sadly and a lot of

1172
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: Thomas can score five points to win his matchup. You what,

1173
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: I need Ian Thomas to score a lot of points

1174
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: as well. We're relying on I and time. I mean, look,

1175
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: I would say my situation is I'm playing against Matt

00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 1: money Smith and I need I've got Ian Thomas, I've

1177

Speaker 1: be I have a nine point lead, so it's going

1180
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: to be close. I know what Marcus is going to

1181
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: be doing tonight. I will be glued to the TV.

1182
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: Velven Milkman wrote, Amari Cooper and Philip Lindsay and my

1183
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 1: flex with Derrick Henry and Tevin Coleman on my bench.

1184
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: Big oof. Yeah I would have I would have started

1185
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman because I was big on Tevin Coleman. Yeah,

1186
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 1: I forgot. I forgot a text yesteryear that was big

1187
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: on Goose Staver. He has d J Moore and the

1188
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 1: other person has Drew Brees and a three point lead.

1189
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: So he has DJ more the other person that has

1190
00:56:57,600 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: Drew Brees and three points. Yeah, good luck with that.

1191
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: I need uh, I need. I need Breese to have

1192
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: a bad game too to beat David borrianas in our

1193
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,240
Speaker 1: Celebrity League. I don't like. I don't like goss chances,

1194
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: um l k Lemson Road, I had Zeke, Nick Chubbman, Lindsay,

1195
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks and Big Ben. I'm going to lose unless

1196
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: Kamar brings in over seven points. See you next year, Fantasy.

1197
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: Wait over seven, just seven, You're fine, dude. If Kamara

1198
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: doesn't score seven. If comed to the score seven, and yes,

1199
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: you you probably deserve to lose. But you know what

1200
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: that is, that that is one of those reverse jinks wines.

1201
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: I like to do those, as you might have got

1202
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: a reverse chinks tweet Carlos Road. I lost by twenty

1203
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: two because I started Dac over Matt Ryan. I mean,

1204
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that that would have wanted for you.

1205
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, it'll make you feel better,

1206
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: but I don't think I don't have to look, but

1207
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. Because that Ryan was twenty two points

1208
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: better than Dak. Dak had right around six or seven,

1209
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: and Ryan was right four. So yeah, so I mean

1210
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: it would have been closer, but yeah, you still would

1211
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 1: have lost. We can wrap up with this one from

1212
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: Justin Deals with tonight's Monday Night game being the Saints

1213
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: and Panthers. He benched Marlon Mack as his flex for

1214
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin. He's down twelve points with Michael Thomas. See,

1215
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: but I mean that that evils on you, dude. I mean,

1216
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: I get it, Marlon Mack was not a great play.

1217
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: But Chris Godwin in Baltimore in the rain, you know,

1218
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: I'd rather rather I think I probably would have started

1219
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: mac yea. But what twelve points from Michael Thomas if

1220
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: not impossible, you know, even a standard I mean, you

1221
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: know what sixty and a touchdown like that's that's doable.

1222
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: That's possible for Michael Thomas though. Uh you know, like

1223
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: I have a good friend. You always say magic happens

1224
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: on Monday night, so hopefully it works out for you.

1225
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: That's it. We're done, We're getting out of here. Thanks
