We pick some 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: of our favorite pass catches for Sunday Night and Monday nights. 12 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: Plus we're getting spicy with our bold calls of the week. 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: So let's just get right into it, right because you 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: can find all of these written by Michael F. Florio 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: on nfl dot com slash Start Sit. We will start, 16 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: as we always do, with a quarterback position. Who do 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: you like this week? Who do you not like this week? 18 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 3: I included the first two Dak Prescott and Drake May 19 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 3: because of their matchups. 20 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: I think they've kind of reached a point where. 21 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 3: You know, to start them weekly. But people are concerned 22 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 3: about the Broncos and Browns matchups. I still think these 23 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 3: guys are very much so in play. Jackson Dart we 24 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 3: went off against the Eagles two weeks ago. He goes 25 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 3: off against whoever he plays that week because of what 26 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 3: he does with his legs. Bo Nicks held in check 27 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 3: for three quarters and then had the greatest quarter in 28 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: Fantasy history. 29 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if that's factual, it just feels like 30 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 2: it is. 31 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 3: And against the best matchup against the Cowboys, and then 32 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones because the Titans do not generate pressure, and 33 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 3: I think that. 34 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: Are those are the weeks where you could really use. 35 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 3: Jones, and then sits Jordan Love has been all floor 36 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: and not really much upside this year. It's looking like 37 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 3: it's going to be Mac Jones for the forty nine ers. 38 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 3: But I just don't want to play either of their 39 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 3: qbs against the Texans, who really look good against Seattle 40 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: and have been a really tough matchup on against qbs. 41 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 3: Marcus Mariota has been in play because of his legs, 42 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 3: but I don't like the matchup against the Chiefs. There's 43 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 3: no way I want to do the two a thing. 44 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 3: And then Carson Wentz. 45 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: It is all bad in Miami, man like it seems 46 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: like every time to what steps to the microphone, something 47 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: something bad happens or something weird and comes out. But LaQuan, 48 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: when you're looking at these quarterbacks, these starts, especially any thoughts, 49 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: particularly in what you see there. 50 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 4: Like Caleb Williams to me, looks like a layup matchup 51 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 4: this week. Like we know the teams that we can 52 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 4: pick on, but I'm kind of side eyeing them because 53 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 4: last week was kind of uncomfortable less than five fantasy points, 54 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 4: and I'm kind of looking at like who you guys 55 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 4: find the Saints, Like I think there's gonna be a 56 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 4: lot of up and down when it come to Kayleb Williams. 57 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 4: But in the Bypocalypse, I'm just hoping that my homie 58 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 4: can hold me down because I really need this win 59 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 4: this week in the Bipocalypse, And I think, honestly, looking 60 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 4: at Ben Johnson's system, we have to remember and kind 61 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 4: of take a step back that his first year as 62 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 4: offensive coordinator for the Lions, this offense had its up 63 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 4: and down. It wasn't the Lions team that we know 64 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 4: and love now. So I still have upside. I still 65 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 4: have praise for Kayla Williams this season, but I'm kind 66 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: of side eyeing him this week, like you better get 67 00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 4: the job done this week. 68 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I know the fantasy output was sort 69 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: of disappointing with Caleb this past week, but I also 70 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: wonder how much of it has to do with the 71 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: Bears coming out of the by have been so good 72 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: running the football. 73 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: You know, they went up twenty to nothing last week, 74 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: both rushing touchdowns. He didn't have to this week. Lamar 75 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: is on the other side, He's probably gonna have to 76 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 2: throw a bit more. 77 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would think so any of the guys there 78 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: on the s side of things, La Kwan that they 79 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: grabbed your attention. 80 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 4: Guys, I see too, And I'm like, have we been 81 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 4: looking at the fantasy streets these last couple of weeks, 82 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 4: Like I'm not sure anybody feels comfortable rostering to it 83 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: right now? That includes the Miami Dolphins. What the circus 84 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 4: is going to be going on and on as the 85 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 4: season progresses, Like he says the lack of height is 86 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 4: what he blamed on for not targeting Jay and Wattle, 87 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 4: Like come on, man, Like I can't understand why even 88 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 4: say that on camera, Like why even get in front 89 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 4: of him Mike to say that, like, you ain't the 90 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 4: tallest guy out there, but you ain't the shortest. Like 91 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 4: my guy is Bryce Young, shortest guy in the NFL 92 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 4: right now and as a starting quarterback, So what is 93 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 4: the excuse for them? They're they're actually having a winning 94 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 4: record where the Dolphins are kind of bad right now. 95 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 4: So I'm kind of getting away from all Dolphins players 96 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 4: outside the name of Devon a. Chan moving on from 97 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 4: the rest of the season. 98 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was kind of wild, right. 99 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure Bryce Young is sitting around be like, hey, 100 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: don't don't ask me any questions about this, Like I'm 101 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: name good, I'm straight, I can I can find my guys. Uh, 102 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: don't don't ask you about anything that's going on over there. 103 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 4: Making the six to one quarterbacks look bad Like Baker 104 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 4: six to one, Bro, he ain't complaining about no height thing. 105 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 4: He and the MVP talks right now, like come on 106 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 4: to it, get it together, Tua. 107 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 3: They need to turn the mic off sometimes, man, Like 108 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: this is like the third time in a month that 109 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 3: he's said something that he's got to come out and be. 110 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: Like, oh, I probably shouldn't have said that, Like what's 111 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 2: going on? 112 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: Man? Like just you don't need to talk at all 113 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: the time. Just you know, whatever you're thinking, just just 114 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: hold it back. It's fine. Maybe just just give it 115 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: a test run in front of your teammates and your coach. 116 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 3: And then what Mike McDaniel make me apologize for saying 117 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 3: that this should be going through his headed. 118 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: All at all time. We will see. 119 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: But otherwise it is all bad in Miami, both offensively 120 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: and defensively. 121 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: It's pretty much the devon ah Chan. It's like the 122 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 2: only guy I trust in that offense at this point. 123 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: And even Darren Waller, he's gone. He became a thing 124 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 2: for likes. He's gone. He's back in the booth. He's gone. 125 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: The running backs, though, yeah, obviously I think I've counted 126 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: six of the top twenty five running backs are off 127 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: this week because of buy So who are you starting? 128 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 2: Who are you sitting? DeAndre Swift? 129 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 3: You talk about the Bears running the ball extremely well, 130 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: they're also running the ball the third highest rate since 131 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 3: their bye week. I think he's a must start this week. 132 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: Breese Hall, as long as he's good to go health wise, 133 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: is a very good play this week. Eighteen carries per 134 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 3: eighteen opportunities per game, and the Bengals allow a lot 135 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 3: of explosive runs. 136 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 2: JK. Dobbins. I think is get right this game. 137 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 3: The last couple of weeks haven't been his best, but 138 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: the Cowboys have struggled against the run. 139 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: Like, don't call me a homer man. 140 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 3: I have two Panthers running backs as starts to against 141 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 3: the Bills this week, because he could run all over 142 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 3: the Bills. I like Rico Moore, but I do think 143 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 3: Chuba could get more passes if they're trailing in that game. 144 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 3: And then Bill Merritt, I think that they're just gonna 145 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 3: look to run the ball as much as they possibly 146 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: can against the Chiefs in that one. And as for 147 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 3: the Sis Alvin Kamara, I have big concerns that we 148 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: are watching the end of his career before our eyes. 149 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: Waving the white flag on Travian Henderson. It's just never 150 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 3: gonna happen, not with this coaching staff. Jalen Warren, because 151 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: the Packers are really good against not only the run, 152 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 3: they're good against limiting pass catching running backs. Chase Brown, 153 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 3: it's been all floor. Even last week he looked really good. 154 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 3: I was a floor game for fantasy. And then Tony 155 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: Pollard like he's just not doing much and Taji Spears 156 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 3: is getting more and more involved. 157 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: All right, So meam's on there that I certainly love 158 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: something that I'm I have a little bit of concern about. 159 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: But Lakwan, when you look at the starts for running backs, 160 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: anybody that in particular catchers your eye. 161 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 4: I'm hoping JK Domains can hold me down because these 162 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 4: last two weeks have been very uncomfortable looking at him, 163 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 4: having probably one of the lowest Fantasy performers in the 164 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 4: last two weeks that we hope this season because man, 165 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 4: it's hard to go out there in the bipocalypse with 166 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 4: so many startuple running backs on by and then trying 167 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 4: to trust the man that we call Sean Payon. He 168 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 4: is about to be the new Fantasy Streets boogie Man, 169 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 4: because I think he is making us pull our hair out, 170 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 4: giving us grace trying to figure out what's going on 171 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 4: with this actual attack because in the last four games, R. J. 172 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 4: Harvey and JK. Dobbins are both averaging nine Fantasy points 173 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 4: per game. Like, folks, this is getting real nasty. So 174 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 4: hopefully in this layup matchup, because the Cowboys defense are 175 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 4: allowing over one hundred and forty rushing yards per game. 176 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 4: This should be the matchup. We get this bounce back 177 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 4: from JK. 178 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: Dobbins. Are you done with RJ. Harvey this year? Lakwan Ah, 179 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: don't ask me that you know I'm holding Harvey man. 180 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: I gotta hold it down. That's my guy. 181 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 4: But I mean, look, there's another running back that I 182 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 4: actually want to bully my way into talking about who 183 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 4: else was on that board. But Florio, I'm happy to 184 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 4: see that we got Travion Henderson as a sit because 185 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 4: he had a birthday yesterday actually, and I'm really surprised 186 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 4: that the Patriots, you know, didn't post for Andre Stevenson 187 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: Happy Birthday instead of Travion Henderson. And I heard there 188 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 4: was a cake. Stevenson blew out the candles while Mike 189 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 4: Rabil watched. But this is the middle meter where I 190 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 4: have entered. I've revealed on Monday where Travon Henderson needs 191 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 4: to earn that whole name Hendo. He is Heno. So 192 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 4: whenever I get asked in my DMS on TikTok, They're like, oh, 193 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 4: do I start such and such or Travion Heno, do 194 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 4: not make the mistake. He is hitting the bench until 195 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 4: further noticing folks Florio, I'm sorry, but I had to 196 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 4: drop my guy. I shared on the pod two weeks 197 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 4: ago that I was ready to let go and cut ties, 198 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 4: and I'm okay with that because when that breakout game happens, 199 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 4: it's probably going to be on our bench, and probably 200 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 4: on the team that I'm not making the playoffs anyway. 201 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: So I look, I think for a lot of folks, 202 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, Henderson is definitely going on the bench. I'm 203 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: sure a lot more people have rag dropped him over 204 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I want to ask you 205 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: for about Rimandre Stevenson, because he is getting the work. 206 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: They don't really want to go away from him. But 207 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: can you start him against the Browns this week? 208 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: Ideally I would not want to. 209 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 3: I think there are people out there who are in 210 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 3: a situation where there are the six teams on by, 211 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 3: and like you said, it's what six of the top 212 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: twenty five running backs sitting this week. Some injuries out 213 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 3: there and involving like your flex or whatever, you might 214 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: have no choice but to plug him in and just 215 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: be like, he's getting work. But I don't want to 216 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: use him if I don't have to We've seen Stevenson 217 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 3: struggle a lot this year with efficiency. Now he's going 218 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 3: up against maybe the best run defense in the NFL. 219 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 3: I think Rick may is very much so in play 220 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 3: this week in the pass catchers because there the Browns defense. 221 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 3: I think it looks a little bit better fantasy point 222 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 3: wise allowed than it does metrically against the pass. But 223 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 3: the run they check out across the board, they are 224 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 3: just dominant, So ideally I would try to get away 225 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 3: the upside. 226 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: Though It's been a couple of weeks since Stevenson has fumbled, 227 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: so that's a got that going for He was. 228 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 2: My sleeper last week. Yeah. 229 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, when he fumbles next time, they're gonna blame Treon problems. 230 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: That's kind of how it's gone so far this season. 231 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: We'll get back to some more starts and since in 232 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: just a little bit, but time to take a look 233 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: at the Sunday night matchup between the Green Bay Packers 234 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Here are the first touchdown odds 235 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: for this one. Josh Jacobs with the best odds, followed 236 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: by Jalen Warren. 237 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: Then it's Tucker Craft, DK Metcalf and Romeo Dobbs. 238 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: A little bit of alternating between the Packers and the 239 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: Steelers in that one, lakwan, When you look at that 240 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: list between Jacob's, Warren Craft, Metcalf, and Dobbs, anybody you 241 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: liked there or would you like to go off. 242 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: Book for something. I like DK Metcalf. 243 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 4: I think Aaron Rodgers is gonna have him as a 244 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 4: key piece to be really petty in this game, because 245 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 4: I know Aaron Rodgers is looking at this like this 246 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 4: ain't a revenge game, but he wants to make a statement, 247 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 4: and I think DK has been his guy when he's 248 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 4: looking to put up six points. So I think last 249 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 4: week was kind of an outlier. Or Florio shouted out 250 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 4: that three tight ends will score touchdown. 251 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 2: What a call. 252 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 4: By the way, I don't know what Etsy Voodoovich you 253 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 4: put on freaking Dk Metcalf last week, but he made 254 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 4: me lose my league not being involved. Oh yeah, he 255 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 4: is the Fantasy Streets boogie man. But I think Sean 256 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 4: Pain and him they're kind of tied right now when 257 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 4: it comes to claiming that claim. 258 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 2: But I do like DK Metcalf all right. 259 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: Well along those lines, since you are apparently the Steelers 260 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: tight end whisperer, if we are spinning the wheel because 261 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: the Packers have not been good against fantasy tight ends. 262 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: Who doesn't land on this week? 263 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: We do this same segment on Fantasy Live on Fridays, 264 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 3: and my answers is great. 265 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 2: I can't wait for it. It is a tight end. 266 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 3: It's probably not the one you're thinking of, but I 267 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 3: think Friar Hayward. I think Friar is probably the one 268 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 3: I trust the most, just because the way he's being 269 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 3: used right now. But I wouldn't be surprised at all 270 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 3: if it's another game where him and John hu Smith 271 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 3: split targets and they're both kind of heavily utilized, and 272 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: then Washington is used in the red zone because of that. 273 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 3: Because the Packers struggle against tight ends, they're really good 274 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 3: against the run. They've they've been hit or miss a 275 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 3: little bit against receivers, but the Steelers only have one 276 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 3: that you really need to lock in on, so I 277 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 3: expect them to continue to feature their tight ends. It's again, 278 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: I say a lot, it's not gonna be fun for fantasy, 279 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 3: but Arthur Smith does. 280 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 2: Not care in the slightest about fantasy. 281 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: And I look, I know before you you know sweet 282 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: beer m me or whatever. Like, Yes, I know Cam 283 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: Hayward plays defense, but he's lined up a tight end 284 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: a couple times. 285 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 2: This year because Arthur Smith likes to be tricky like that. 286 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: So that that's the whole don't don't at me, that's 287 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: all I'm saying. 288 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 2: Taking any quick break. 289 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: But when we come back, we'll dive into the Monday 290 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: night football contest between the Commanders and the Chiefs and 291 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: some more starts and since that's coming up next on 292 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show, so we're trying something new 293 00:12:59,240 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: this week. 294 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: Gonna have one Monday night football game. That's it, just one. 295 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: It's the Commanders at the chief You can see that game, 296 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: of course at Monday at eight to fifteen pm Eastern 297 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: Time on ESPN, ESPN deport it Is, I believe, also 298 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: on the American Broadcasting. 299 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: And The O Show, The Old Show ESPN eight, The 300 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 2: Old Show, Lakwan. 301 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: The Chiefs have pretty much everybody back now, right, Savior 302 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: word is back where she Rice just came back, Hollywood Brown, 303 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: Travis Kelce, Juju Smith, Shoes, Taekwon, Thornton, uh Stefan, Paige, Lakwan, Jones, 304 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: Dwayne bow Like, they're all there. They're all available for 305 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: the Chiefs this week. Which Chiefs pass catcher out of 306 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: that group do you trust the most? It has to 307 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: be Rashid Rice. Like last week he was targeted on 308 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: sixty two percent of his routes. That high a percentage 309 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: just tells the story of how much attention Patrick Mahomes 310 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: is paying to Rashid Rice. Because at the end of 311 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: the day, you saw when he put that we're in sync, 312 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: when he made that rate catch on the sideline, Like, 313 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: this is a guy that is locked in with one 314 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. This high of 315 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: percentage of attention is going to be all season long. 316 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: Like all the fantasy managers that held onto the Rice bag, 317 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: I know they are happy because I. 318 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: Am one of them. 319 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 4: I'm plugging him in as a wide receiver three, as 320 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 4: a flex in a lot of leagues, and this guy's 321 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 4: gonna be putting up twenty burgers twenty burgers after twenty burgers, 322 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 4: and you're gonna be. 323 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 2: Full righting your way to the Fantasy Championship. 324 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: I feel like the actual answer is none. I mean, 325 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: like you're not not starting them right, Like you're not 326 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: gonna not start Rashi Rice and you're not gonna not 327 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: start Xavier Worthy or Travis Kelcey, but there's just so 328 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: many guys. 329 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 2: I think Rashi Rice is the dude, Like, yeah. 330 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: I mean it was cool because I think you got 331 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: targeted on like what ten of fourteen U fifteen routes? 332 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 2: This just doesn't feel sustainable. 333 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, they He is the one though that I think 334 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: it's easiest to generate. 335 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 2: But like like what Kelsey used to get those. 336 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 3: Quick catch and run things like that, that's gonna go 337 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 3: to Rice now. I think Worthy is the one I 338 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 3: think takes the biggest hit because he's kind of gonna 339 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: become more downfield or bust and that is always the hardest. 340 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: Usage just sustained week to week. I feel like that 341 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: applies to Taekwon Thornton too. Oh yeah, we had a moment. 342 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: He had a nice moment, But I don't think that's 343 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: a I. 344 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: Would I dropped him in a few weeks. This week, 345 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 2: all right, maybe maybe it's narrowing down. 346 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: I think this week we'll get a good idea of 347 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: exactly how it's going to go. I think we'll get 348 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: more or she Rice right, he was still sort of 349 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: limited because he hadn't had any extra game action so 350 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: we'll get a good sense of it coming up tonight 351 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: or Monday Night. 352 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: I should say against the Washington Commanders. 353 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: Back to the starts and since four week eight, looking 354 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: at the wide receivers, Florio, who are you up on? 355 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 2: Who are you down on? Steph? A lot of Thursday 356 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 2: Night names. Only three starts here, but Steph Diggs I 357 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: think is very much so in play. I know it 358 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: was a down week last week, but he's still getting 359 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 2: all the volume Roma Dunesday. 360 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 3: I love this week. Two down games, but the Ravens 361 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 3: have allowed the most zone touchdowns too wide receivers, and 362 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 3: he is the Bears red zone passing attack. And then 363 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 3: Wandel Robinson just a lot of volume going his way. 364 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 3: He had success against the Eagles a couple of weeks ago, 365 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 3: and then the Sis. 366 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: We spoke about it earlier this week on the pod. 367 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 3: But I'm done with Dj Moore just one game with 368 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 3: more than five targets and it was six. 369 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 2: Juwan Jennings. He's playing with so many injuries right now 370 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: that until he looks like himself, I think you could 371 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 2: get away. Keyon Coleman. I just hate the way he's. 372 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: Being used right now. It's not putting him in a 373 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 3: bunch of positions to succeed Hollywood. Brown just said I 374 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 3: dropped him in some leagues. I just he had four 375 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 3: targets last week. He caught a touchdown, but I don't 376 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 3: think he's gonna get enough volume. And then Boody like, look, 377 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks have been really fun for fantasy, 378 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 3: but he's averaging less than three targets per game since 379 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 3: Week two. 380 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, he did have that nice long touchdown catch last weeks. 381 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 3: Fall or nothing because he's got the best deep all 382 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: thrower in the NFL, which is good, but if he 383 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 3: doesn't catch it, you're getting like no points. 384 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: Looking at the starts though, LaQuan and I know a 385 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: little bit shorter list this week, but one of those 386 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: three guys make a bigger impact for you. 387 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 2: Shorter list for a short king. 388 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 4: Wandel Robinson like guys, his A dot is double of 389 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 4: what it was last season. Like I like seeing Wandell 390 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 4: Robinson being in star positions. He's entering that realm of 391 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 4: where like he has flex appeal each and every week 392 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 4: with Jackson dark because I was fearful that we were 393 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 4: gonna lose that long ball that that Russell Wilson moonball 394 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 4: that he was getting to Wando Robinson. Jackson Dar's doing 395 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 4: the same. Like right now, Wandell is top three in 396 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 4: deep ball receptions. Like it's insane to see Wando Robson 397 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 4: still bawling. So folks, he's like one of those Bilo candidates. Like, 398 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 4: I'm ready to get on my roster because I want 399 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 4: somebody with reliable hands, ability after to catch and getting 400 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 4: these deep targets on top of that, I mean, Florio 401 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 4: shout out to you, man. I hope Wando goes crazy 402 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 4: this week. 403 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 2: I like Wandale a lot this week. 404 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: And I know, for all the hype we've talked about 405 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: with Jackson, Dart and Cam Scattaboo, Wandell Robinson's a top 406 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: twenty wide receiver. He's top twenty in the league in targets, receptions, 407 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: and receiving yards. You mentioned the A dot, right, I 408 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: mean last year is just about it was just about five. 409 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: Right now it's it's a little over nine. 410 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 2: Dude. What the concept everything's coming up? Wondale. No, that's great, 411 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 2: it's great. So No, I'm I'm all on board with 412 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 2: Wondale Robinson. No, last year you only ran five yards? 413 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 2: What if we like used a little bit more downfield 414 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 2: a couple you could do that? You do that? 415 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: Who knows any of the any assists that Juan Jennings, 416 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: DJ Moore, Coleman, any of those guys that you know 417 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: you're particularly off of. 418 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 4: I got to tap him with my boy Florio that. Like, Bro, 419 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 4: are we still rostering Keonkman? 420 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 2: Like? 421 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 4: What as a fantasy manager? Like what do we do? Like? 422 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 4: I honestly look at key On cole how you were 423 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 4: saying not being put in possessed, I mean and put 424 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 4: in position for success. But it's like, when are they 425 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 4: going to do that? Because this is one of those 426 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 4: games they got this week where my Bowl prediction might 427 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 4: be another reason why you might have to drop Keon 428 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 4: Coleman this week. 429 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw your Bowl prediction. I'm curious to hear 430 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: the reasonable behind that. But don't be jumping ahead in 431 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 2: the rundown, Bro, you can't do that. 432 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 3: I have key On in a lot of leagues and 433 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 3: I'm I've been reluctant to cut him because I think 434 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 3: there's upside there. But to me, I think it depends 435 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 3: on what's out there on your waiver, in the size 436 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 3: of your league, Like my one home league is a 437 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 3: twelve team league where we have two flex spots, three 438 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 3: wide receivers, and a lot of bench spots. 439 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 2: I'm holding him there. 440 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 3: But in a in a league where it was like 441 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 3: a ten team with a regular size bench, I did 442 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 3: cut him. So it kind of depends on your league 443 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 3: and your options, I think. But I still think there's 444 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 3: a lot of potential there. They just I just hate 445 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 3: everything about him. 446 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, confirmation bia secuping me from dropping him, right, because 447 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: like I went, I didn't. I don't know if I 448 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: went heavy in on him, but I believe, and so 449 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: like I'm not ready, I'm not ready to admit that 450 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: I was wrong. 451 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 2: You see the flash there, It's there. 452 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: Everything everything Lakwan has said is right. I'm just not 453 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: ready to admit that I was rolling yet. That's all. 454 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 2: It's a me thing. I'm full. I'm fine admitting that 455 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 2: it's a me thing. 456 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: Finally, tight Ends because it is is by the way, 457 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: not only is it by him again, it is National 458 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: tight End Day coming up on Sunday. Last year, tight 459 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: Ends went big on National tight End Day. So who 460 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: are your starts and sits there? 461 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 2: This week? Did you see NBC trying to make National 462 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 2: running backs. Yeah, well I. 463 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: Think that was like the running backs started, like tried 464 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: to start there. 465 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. 466 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 2: I hope it works out for them. 467 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 3: I don't know if it'll have the success that national 468 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 3: tight ends they did, but Dallas Goddard is very much 469 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 3: they started. I know last week was a little bit 470 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 3: down for him, but he went off two weeks ago 471 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 3: against the Giants and aj Brown is. 472 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: Up in the air right now. 473 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 3: Dalkincaid it was wild how badly the Bills missed him 474 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago against the Falcons, and it 475 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 3: is a great matchup against the Panthers hald Fan and junior. 476 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 3: The Patriots have struggled against tight ends a bit, and 477 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 3: I just think there's a chemistry there between Dylan Gabriel 478 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 3: and Fannin and then Kyle Pitts Senior. Not only have 479 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 3: the Dolphins struggle against tight ends, they struggle against slot receivers, 480 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 3: and Kyle Pitts has the most slot snaps for the Falcons. 481 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 3: Sis zach Ertz is a completely different player when Jayden 482 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 3: Daniels is not out there and the Chiefs are a 483 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 3: tough matchup Hunter Henry. I still want him to be 484 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: a thing, but the volume has just kind of dried 485 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 3: up as of late. Neil Johnson, we talked about it earlier, 486 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 3: but his touchdown this week was extremely lucky. He was 487 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 3: held in check against the Eagles two weeks ago, and 488 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 3: then John new Smith, Like, it's kind of all the 489 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 3: Steelers right, like Pat Froyan, we've had a monster game 490 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 3: the other day. 491 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 2: I feel zero. 492 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 3: Percent confidence that you could trust that though, because we 493 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 3: don't even know which Steelers tight end it'll be on 494 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 3: a given week. 495 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's that's always a hard part. 496 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: I did put John new Smith in the Sleepers column 497 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: this week, but also admitted that it could be. 498 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 2: Options it. Guys. 499 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: I just I just threw a dart at John new 500 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: Smith and so see what happens h on the start 501 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: side of tight ends there. Lakwan, who who's standing out 502 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: to you in that group? 503 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 4: Kyle pits Man, I'm staying committed, committed to my ticket 504 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 4: that I bought earlier at this season and because like 505 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 4: there's one thing that we're seeing is that the volume 506 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 4: is going to remain consistent. Like myl Penix's cashing in 507 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 4: on keeping his word of getting the ball to Pits 508 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 4: a lot, I mean a season high in ten targets. 509 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 4: This is a rarity. He's only done this three times 510 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 4: in his career. But Michael Penix is finding Kyle Pitts. 511 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 4: Like we're not seeing those games that we used to 512 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 4: see where he has one target, one catch for like 513 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 4: six yards. Like, we're seeing him being more involved in 514 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 4: the offense as the offensive plan progresses.

Now the moment that Florida 562 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: has been waiting for seeing why Lakwan made the. 563 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 2: Bold prediction that he did, Please please. 564 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 4: Go hey, we got to check her tone when we 565 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 4: talk about this Carolina and Panthers defense. 566 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: Now, this is a. 567 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 4: Top ten defense, and the last two games Josh Allen 568 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 4: has played, we've kind of seen him be the turnover machine. 569 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 4: So all the DST folks out there who still have 570 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 4: that as a slot option, I have a bold prediction 571 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 4: this week that the Panthers defense are going. 572 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 2: To put up big points. 573 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 4: When we look at Josh Allen struggling against the Patriots, 574 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 4: struggling against the Falcons also top ten defenses. I don't know, man, 575 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 4: the Panthers are sneaky sleeper that might be able to 576 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 4: be fixing your bipocalypse if you're in a DST situation. 577 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: All right, so the parently I've been noticing, though you 578 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: can't necessarily just talk it. Last year we could target 579 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: the Panthers pretty much for anything, especially running backs. 580 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 2: I've been quite so easy to pick on the Panthers, 581 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 2: for sure. Josh Allen's go I'm just selling you. He 582 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 2: coming off with two losses in his career is undefeated. 583 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 2: The Bills. You have to go back a decade to 584 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 2: the last time they lost coming off of body. 585 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 3: Say, two losses in a row and a buy and 586 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 3: the Panthers don't generate pressure. 587 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 2: That was what the Falcons did that got to him. 588 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 2: All right, we'll see, all. 589 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 4: Right, those two turnovers in the red zone is kind 590 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 4: of questionable. Better lock in, all right, Floryda, what is 591 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 4: your bold prediction. 592 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 3: The week that we've all been waiting for, our favorite 593 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 3: running back named after our favorite cowboy is going to 594 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 3: break out, because that's actually Woody Marks is named after 595 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 3: Woody the Cowboy. But Woody Mars goes for one hundred 596 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 3: plus yards and a touchdown because we saw last week 597 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 3: what we wanted to see, right, he was getting a 598 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 3: lot of those snaps. 599 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: He was getting most. 600 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 3: Of the work on the ground and through the air 601 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,959 Speaker 3: and in the red zone. The thing is, the Texan 602 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 3: zone line is bad, and the Seahawks were able to 603 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 3: hit him quickly behind the line. 604 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: All of that. 605 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 3: Since the Nicko Bolsa injury, not only are the forty 606 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 3: nine Ers allowing nearly five yards per carry, they're in 607 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 3: the top six in yards allowed after contact. So I 608 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 3: think that Woody Marx will will be able to take 609 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 3: that volume that he saw last week and have a 610 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 3: more productive day against just what is a very depleted 611 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 3: forty nine Ers defense. 612 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't hate that at all, you know, I 613 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: think especially I think the other part of it too, 614 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: maybe not so much rushing, but catching the football with 615 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: no uh no Christian Kirk, no, Nico Collins. 616 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's certainly in the realm of is there. It 617 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 2: was forty one or said I. I just don't listen 618 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 2: to I don't listen to him anymore. It doesn't even 619 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 2: matter yet the new button ready, I don't care. I 620 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 2: don't care. As terrible against a run. 621 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: My look, you what who says that your team can't 622 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: cover tight ends or running quarterbacks? 623 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 4: So like, yeah, hey, I'm realistic though. I'm realistic though. 624 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 2: But I realistic too. 625 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: I told you, I like this team doesn't handle the run. Well, 626 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: it's fine. 627 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: Three way time for first place in your guys division. 628 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 2: This is and then and then the Cardinals. 629 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: Anyway, for me, my vote prediction is Bijon Robinson has 630 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: a huge day. Two hundred scrimmage yards and a pair 631 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: of touchdowns. You got the guy who is the best 632 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: running back or the best player in the NFL according 633 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: to Raheem Morris. Going against the worst run defense in 634 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: the NFL according to math, that seems like a recipe 635 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: for magic to happen. 636 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 2: Has been great. 637 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: He's averaging about seven yards per touch. He's actually second 638 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: on the team in receiving yards, behind Drake London. The 639 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: Dolphins pretty much anyway you slice it, are bad defensively 640 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 1: against running backs. Whether it's running, whether it's catching the football, 641 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: all of that has been bad. So I expect that 642 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: Bejon Robinson is going to absolutely eat now. 643 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 2: That you weren't starting him. You're absolutely starting him anyway. 644 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: But this feels like a huge, huge blow up week 645 00:27:58,840 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: for Bashan. 646 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 3: Getting to the point where like that's still a big game, 647 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 3: but it's like all right, you know, like like Bijon 648 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 3: like like a normal game. 649 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 2: If he puts up one hundred and a touchdown. It's 650 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 2: no longer impressive. 651 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, yeah, that's just that's just what he does. Yeah, 652 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,719 Speaker 1: that's just the thing that he does. Anyway, those are 653 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: our hot takes. 654 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 2: That is it. We are done. 655 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football Show. 656 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 2: You know the drill. 657 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review and 658 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 1: remember you'll never feel so alone.
