1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Wow. What is Welcome to another edition of the NFL

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: Fantasy Line podcast, me man named g Marcus Grand alongside

3
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabriano fauns. What's going

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: on this uh start of weekennight. There's a little wild

5
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: in Cleveland right now, little bits. We will get to

6
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: that and more back on for Monday. It's Graham Barfield.

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Graham. It was good to be back. It

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: feels good to be back in rotation right on Mondays,

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: It's good right right saying you walked in here and

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: he's like, how are you doing? And we're like better

11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: than Hugh Jackson and Todd Haley right now, Tyron Loup

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: and Tyrone Lou It's it's bad. Does that mean that Francona.

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: I think Francona is safe. I think Terry Francona is

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,639
Speaker 1: safe right now that you know, the Indians are still

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: a good baseball team, so I think they're safe. Behind

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: the glass as always, as Sir Edward L. Murphy Esquire Murph,

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: you're rocking the the l s u Odell Beck of

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Jersey today. Yeah. Besides the fact that I'm very uh

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: into college football this this time of year. Obviously, with

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: my NFL team not being so great, I do want

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: to support of my guy, Odell Beckham Jr. Who has

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: been very good. Unfortunately the team he plays for not

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: so good. So this is my indirect way of supporting him.

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: Right now. Were you you were down? Were in San Diego?

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: I was. I went down to the s D C

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: c U Stadium, UH to see Notre Dame play Navy.

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: I'm a big fighting Irish fan, so it was great

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: to see them. I got a nice win first, this

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: very strange Navy offense, and UH they beat if they

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: beat f s U, Syracuse Northwestern. I will also be

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: at the USC Inter Dame game UH the Saturday after Thanksgiving,

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: I believe, so hopefully that's their ticket to the playoff. Well,

33
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: I can say that as as a bitter alum at

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: the moment that if you don't beat USC, then you're

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: automatically out of the playoff. I don't care. I can

36
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: be your only loss of the season that disqualifies you

37
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: if you lose to this. USC know. I totally agree

38
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: you guys are going through a lot of turmoil, but

39
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: I would not be shocked if it's like some last

40
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: second thing with like your third string quarterback, possibly in

41
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: term coach, and I'm there to watch it. And after

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: they like they ran the table all the way and

43
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: then I'll I'd be crushed. Jack Sears coming to save

44
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: the day at USC. Never thought that would happen. Anyway,

45
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about we will go through some

46
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: guys to trade four and trade away that the NFL

47
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: trade deadline is actually tomorrow. Uh, the fantasy trade deadline

48
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: still a few weeks away, but this is about the

49
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: time you can start looking at some targets. Guys you

50
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: might want to get on your roster, Guys you might

51
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: want to get off your roster. So look at those.

52
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: I look at some of the guys who sort of

53
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: blew up your week because they had awful weeks. So

54
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: we'll talk about some of them features waiver wire picks,

55
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: and we'll go back to your tweets so you can

56
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: complain about all the things that went wrong for you

57
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: over the weekend with Monday moaning. But first let's do

58
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: some news. All right, we have we sort of danced

59
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: around it. We might as well just jump on in.

60
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: The Browns have fired a huge Jack's in their head

61
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: coach after eight three thirty six and one record over

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: the past two plus seasons. They also went out and

63
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: fired offensive coordinator Todd Haley. Now the second one, to

64
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: me seems like maybe the bigger surprise. I think we

65
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: all saw the Hugh Jackson firing coming. That's kind of

66
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: been a long time coming. But I think the the

67
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: initial impression was, well, they'd fire him and make Todd

68
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: Haley the offensive coordinator. That's not the case. Todd Haley

69
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: is gone as well, and I think we saw what

70
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens is now being elevated to what interim offensive

71
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: coordinator At the moment, Greg Williams has been named the

72
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: interim head coach FABS. I don't even know where to

73
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: start with this. I don't even know what this means

74
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: at this point. I have no idea. At least I

75
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: didn't hire Jeff Fisher to be the head coach and

76
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy to be the offensive coordinator. That would have

77
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: just been bad in reality and fantasy. Uh, Freddie Kitchens

78
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: are running good bats coach, so we we would figure

79
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: that maybe he's gonna lean more on the run with

80
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: Nick Chub. Will see what happens, but yeah, things are

81
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: things are moving quickly in Cleveland, and it we will

82
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: see what happens in terms of its effect on the

83
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: offense and how these players sort of start to perform,

84
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: because you know, Baker Mayfield has not been a consistent

85
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: fantasy player, which I don't think we expected him to be.

86
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: He's a rookie. Uh, Nick Chubb bad matchup last week,

87
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: but we would think that he's going to be involved

88
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: weekend and week out. I mean Jarvis Landry, I mean,

89
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: he was always going to see regression based on what

90
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: he did last year in terms of the touchdowns, but

91
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: he's been very unreliable this season. And I mean this

92
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: is one of the best pass catchers in the league. Yeah,

93
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean he he has been. He's been fantastic, you know,

94
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: in terms of targets and what he does with them. Um,

95
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Graham, obviously they cleared the deck. They traded

96
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: Carlos High to get Nick Chubb in there. Now he's,

97
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: as FABS mentioned, a running backs coach, takes over as

98
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: a pass catcher. I mean, does this does this mean

99
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: we can start to expect more from Nick Chubb? I mean,

100
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: I just really don't know. I'm still trying to process

101
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: what this whole thing is is doing right now. Yeah,

102
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, if anyone who's paying attention during the

103
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: off season any point they knew Hugh Jackson and Todd

104
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: Haley would not work well again, and behold that on

105
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: eight weeks for it to turn into a total freaking

106
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: dumpster fire. Yeah. Look, I mean they get the Chiefs

107
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: and the Falcons before their Week eleven buy so I

108
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: mean too fantastic matchups there. Nick Chubb as eight teen

109
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: carriers and back to back game. Since Hyde was traded,

110
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna be lowing him RB two. The Kansas City

111
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: Chiefs obviously aren't great in the run defense, and the

112
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: Falcons have lost a lot of key players. But yeah, honestly,

113
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't think this changes much about how we've evaluate

114
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: their offense for fantasy, just because Hailey has been so predictable.

115
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: Hugh hasn't really done much of anything in his tenure there,

116
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: so I can't really say we changed too much. Yeah,

117
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: and I'm just curious to watch them in the next

118
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: week or two to kind of get a feel. I mean,

119
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: it was sort of like it was sort of like

120
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: this past week watching Arizona to see exactly what Byron left,

121
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: which is going to do with that offense. Now, it's

122
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we have we have no idea what what

123
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens is like as a play caller, as an

124
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: offensive you know, as an offensive leader here. So this

125
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: is still kind of new. So I'm sort of with you.

126
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: You lean on the guys that we know, You lean

127
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 1: on the Jarvis Landry Is, you lean on Nick Chubb

128
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: and I guess David and Joku, which, by the way,

129
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: he played a team snaps last week. It was just

130
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: an unlucky game where he just didn't target. He saw

131
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: one ends, one target, but it was on a penalty, right,

132
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it sucks because you know, we

133
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: were a lot of who are counting on him this week.

134
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: This seems like a week it just it just didn't happen.

135
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: Titan scoring is weird, like that, man, Titans scoring is

136
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: just weird this year period. It is just weird. Um,

137
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: It's all right. So this, I mean, sure we'll be

138
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: dealing with the fallout from this for I'm sure at

139
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: least a week trying to figure out what this means

140
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: for the Browns and what this means for all their

141
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: pieces and that sort of thing. Um. Meanwhile, in Tampa, Bay,

142
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks benched Jamis Winston and Ryan Fitzpatrick came back

143
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: into our lives after Jamie's throw four picks. Now, Jameis

144
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: Winston hasn't played full four full games yet this season

145
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: and has what ten interceptions? It's it's it's insane how

146
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: badly he has played in such a short amount of time.

147
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: And now as we look at this and there there

148
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: have to be questions about who is the starting quarterback

149
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: going forward and who these starting quarterback going forward? I

150
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: think impacts what we do with guys like the Sean

151
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: Jackson and maybe Chris Godwin right now. Yeah, but let's

152
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: not forget that Ryan Fitzpatrick is a journeyman who lost

153
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: the job because he threw ten picks in a game

154
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: against the Bears. So I mean your pick your poison here, right,

155
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean, pick your poison. I'd rather have Jamis Winston

156
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: is the quarterback. That's just me. Um. He sucked this

157
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: past week. I mean he was terrible, But in his

158
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: previous two weeks thirty fantasy points and twenty fantasy points.

159
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: No matter how he got him, it doesn't matter he's

160
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: turning the ball over, He's still scoring for your fantasy team.

161
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: And I expect that at some point if it's Fitzpatrick

162
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: who ends up being the start of this week, at

163
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: some point he's gonna have a bad game and they're

164
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: gonna pull him, and it's gonna be Winston back in

165
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: the game. I'd like to just have a little bit

166
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: of reliability here. Um, at this point, I can't trust

167
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: either one of these guys because they got to play

168
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Carolina this week. Then you've got Washington the week after,

169
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: and so you've got two bad matchups coming up. Then

170
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: you've got the Giants. That's a better one. But to me,

171
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: I'd rather just keep I just rather he Winston under center. Uh,

172
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: keep the continuity there, because if they keep flipping flipping

173
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: back and forth, it's not gonna be good for the

174
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Buccaneers and it's not gonna be good for fantasy owners either.

175
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: What do they say, if you have two starting quarterbacks,

176
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: then you don't have one starting gall I mean that

177
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: at this point, at this point, they really might not

178
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: have a starting quarterback. I mean at this point, and

179
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: like I know, for us from fantasy perspective, yes, it's great,

180
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: he's coming out and he's putting up twenty and thirty

181
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: points a week, and so as we sit here, it

182
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter how he does it for us. But

183
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: if you are Dirk Cutter and you're trying to hold

184
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: onto your job, it matters how he does it for you.

185
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: And the fact that but Fitzpatrick is the same kind

186
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: of quarterback. He makes mistakes all over the place. Yeah, no,

187
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: you're right, You're right. But at least I don't know.

188
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: And look, I can't speak for I just know that

189
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick seems to have he brought them back in

190
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: that game, he got them their first few wins of

191
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: the season. And yes, he's going to turn the ball over.

192
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: It just it seems like he I don't know, I

193
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: can't explain it. It's Patrick has been better under pressure

194
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: this year too. I mean next Gen stats has it

195
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: Fryan Fitzpatrick's passerating under pressure is one sixteen to Jamis's

196
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: nineties six point six. I mean we've seen now basically

197
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: essentially two seasons where Jamis Winston has really struggled with this,

198
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: like he's been inconsistent. Let's just say that, right with

199
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, de Shawan Jackson, Chris Godwin, Cambrad O J Howard.

200
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's like he's taking what forty six sacks

201
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: and seventeen games of last years. It's crazy. I mean

202
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: still one interceptions he's throwing it. And I think I

203
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: saw like over the last few years. Uh and I'd

204
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: have to like check what the time frame is, but

205
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: he has like the second most interceptions actually is the most,

206
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: I think behind or ahead of just ahead of Blake Bortles, right,

207
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: most turnovers, most given, Like he's given the ball away

208
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: the most in terms of fumbles and interceptions over the

209
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: last couple of years. But yeah, I mean his his

210
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: completion rate has gone down for three straight weeks. He's

211
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: throwing multiple interceptions and every game he's been in this series,

212
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: taking multiple sacks in every game he's been in this year.

213
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of hard to get away from Fitzpatricks. Okay,

214
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: here's the actual stat. Jamis Winston since has thrown the

215
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: second most interceptions in the NFL with fifty four, behind

216
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, who has fifty five. Winston has played eight

217
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: fewer games than Portals in that stretch. And this is

218
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: nothing new. I mean, Jamis was this way in Florida State.

219
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: He was He's always going to be a high variance pastor,

220
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: and you kind of have to live with the ups

221
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: and downs, and obviously the Bucks aren't comfortable with that.

222
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: So and look, I don't know that either guy has

223
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: been great, But at this point, if you had to

224
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: put up Jameis Winston versus Marcus Mariota, which guy would

225
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: you rather have? Right now? I pass on both. I

226
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: mean I was into Mariota for sure this year, just

227
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: because of the new offensive coaching staff. And I mean

228
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: for sure, they've had a They've actually had the worst

229
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: in terms of strength of schedule. The first seven weeks,

230
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: they've had the toughest strength of schedule. So I'm willing

231
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: to see what they look like coming out of their bye. Yeah.

232
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: Just it's just neither guy has And I was sort

233
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: of with you, Graham. I thought this was the year

234
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: that that Mariota was going to make the leap, and

235
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: so far it hasn't happened. I'm not necessarily encouraged for

236
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: it happening at any point. De Maris Thomas says he

237
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: thinks it's fifty fifty he will be traded by the

238
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: trade deadline on Tuesday. And we've seen it. I We've

239
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: already seen a few trades. We've seen some wide receivers

240
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: moving around, and Marie Cooper being the most recent one. Um.

241
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at this, Graham, if you're

242
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 1: looking at this right now, and you're and and D

243
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas is on the training block, is there a

244
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: spot you think he can go to that that maximizes

245
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: what he can do? He's he's been up and down

246
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: in Denver? Is that just who he is now? Is

247
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: there is there some place you think he can go

248
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 1: that maybe he's a little bit better. You know, he's

249
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: gonna turn thirty one actually on Christmas this year. I

250
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: think it'll be interesting to see. I'd like to see

251
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: DT and kind of like a big slot role, like

252
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: how Larry Fishgeral kind of changed late in his career.

253
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: I'm not entirely sure off the top of my head

254
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: where that might be. I know there was some rumbling

255
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: that the Patriots would be interested. I don't really see

256
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: that because they just traded a fifth for Gordon Edelman's back. Yeah,

257
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: don't back. I don't get that. Why, Like, you're loaded

258
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: at wide receiver now, why would you want Damarius Thomas.

259
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: It would be bad for fantasy, that's for sure. The

260
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: Patriots are the classics team. They just want to try

261
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: to load up improve their team. There's value there, Belichick. Yeah,

262
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean they have far far less depth

263
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: than running back, and especially with son in Michell banged

264
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: up right now, and they want to go and get

265
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: the Marrious Thomas. That just seems a little odd to me.

266
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: I will say this, if the Marrius Thomas gets traded,

267
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: Carlton Sun is gonna end up being the hottest pick

268
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: up off the waiver wire. Uh, this side of Nick Chubb,

269
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: I can tell you that right now, because Sutton is

270
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: shown this is a potential breakout player at some point

271
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: in the next couple of seasons from a fantasy perspective,

272
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: and if he ends up getting more burn if DT

273
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: gets traded, lookout. Um yeah, I'm looking up the Marrius

274
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: Thomas's contract. I mean, here's the thing. There isn't out

275
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: at the end of this year. So if you are

276
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots or anybody else, you can potentially trade for

277
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: him and not really have to lose a whole lot.

278
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: You can potentially get a production out of him. If

279
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: if that works out, then hey, you keep him around

280
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: for another year. If it doesn't work out, you can

281
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: move on and not necessarily be hurt. I mean, that's

282
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: for as much as we complain about you. I won't

283
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 1: say complain, but as much of people get frustrated with

284
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots, non Patriots fans. I mean, you gotta give

285
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: him credit. They are smart about doing this sort of thing.

286
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: If there's one spot, maybe it's Houston because they just

287
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: lost Will Fuller. I mean, maybe Cutie can kind of

288
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: play the outside a little bit more of a field

289
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: stretcher role. It'll be interesting to see, It'll be interesting

290
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: to say. Yeah, absolutely, so keep an eye on that.

291
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm sure by the time we come back

292
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: on Thursday, I have a feeling there will be some

293
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: more news of guys moving teams and maybe finding new homes.

294
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that and update that when that happens.

295
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: In the meantime. That's pretty much all the news you

296
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: need to know real quick. Apparently Wikipedia has already named

297
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley the future head coach of the Cleveland Browns.

298
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: He's not even through he's not even halfway through his

299
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: college season right now, in Wikipedia is already promoting him

300
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: to the Cleveland Browns. So I don't know whatever Wikipedia

301
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: is a weird fun place. Um I mentioned earlier the

302
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: trade deadline and Fantasy comes in a few weeks. Is

303
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: usually near the end of November, so we still got

304
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: a few more weeks for you to find only kind

305
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: of work some of those deals and build that roster.

306
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: But I feel like this is a good time for

307
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: us to start looking at some guys who potentially have

308
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: good schedules down the stretch or or in bad situations

309
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: or whatever have you, so you can try to and

310
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: craft a deal with someone in your league to try

311
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: and build your roster, either for a playoff run or

312
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: for that that run to a championship in your roster,

313
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: so the guys that you want to trade for potentially

314
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: I was going through some schedules and a couple of

315
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: guys that stood out for me. One in Carolina. Cam

316
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: Newton has been a I feel he's kind of flown

317
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: under the radar a little bit, especially when we talk

318
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks because guys have been so good. I mean,

319
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: obviously Patrick Mahomes has been top of the list, Andrew

320
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: Luck starting to get some attention. I mean, we've focused

321
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: on guys like Golf and Cousins, and you know, Trobinsky

322
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: getting hot, we haven't talked about Cam Newton and the

323
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: fact that right now he's the QB four. He hasn't

324
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: had any wild swings. He doesn't have a thirty point game.

325
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: He also hasn't giving you one terrible game so far

326
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: this season. His worst game has been sixteen points so

327
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: far this year. And the schedule lays out really well

328
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: for Cam down the stretch. I mean, he's still got

329
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks, two games against the Box, He's got the Steelers,

330
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: the Lions, he's got the Saints, he's got the Falcons.

331
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: Kim Newton, I feel like he's gonna win some leads

332
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: for some people this year. And I just I I

333
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: feel bad because we just haven't really talked about Cam

334
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: all that much this year. We came as Cam. I mean,

335
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: maybe that's what it is. Every season typically, outside of

336
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: maybe one or two, he has um. He has put

337
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: up huge numbers. And we just get a breaking news

338
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: report here that Ryan Fitzpatrick will start over Jamis Winston,

339
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: which means in two weeks Winston will end up starting

340
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: again when Fitzpatrick. That's neither here nor there, uh, Carolina

341
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: this week. Not sure I like that matchup for Ryan Fitzpatrick,

342
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: but dirt cutters. He's not gonna be there very much longer.

343
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: Um that that Ace is a mess. But yeah, that's

344
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: why Cam is this is just what we expect. It's

345
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: just like when Peyton Manning goes out and has a

346
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: monster season during his illustrious career. I mean, okay, yeah,

347
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: we kind of expected that, and Cam has. He's been accurate.

348
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: He's only throwing four interceptions this season. He's still running

349
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: with the football. He's on pace to have you know,

350
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: over six hundred rushing yards and eight touchdowns as a runner.

351
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: So and he's got he's got maybe the best weapons

352
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: around him then he's ever had. So that that's a

353
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: big That's a big part of his success too, is

354
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: that you know, you've got Greg Olson back and it

355
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: looks like he's healthy, especially after last week. You've got

356
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey running in a futured role. Uh, You've got

357
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: Devin Funchius who's emerging as a pretty good wide receiver.

358
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: You've got d J. Moore, and guys, if DJ Moore

359
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: is on your waiver wire this week picked him up

360
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: fifty percent of his routes coming out of the slot.

361
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: Playing the Buccaneers next week, Um, this is this, This

362
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: is what Cam is bottom line. Yeah, I mean I

363
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: guess you know, we usually I feel it's funny because

364
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: we say, you like, this is what he is, usually

365
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: in a bad way, but this is what Cam is.

366
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, just because he hasn't had I

367
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: guess because he doesn't had the blow up weeks um,

368
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: then then I think people haven't just paid attention to

369
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: him so much because Patrick Mahomes is doing silly things

370
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: each and every week and Cam is just kind of

371
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: been steady, and it's been it's been really great. You know,

372
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned Christian McAffrey here by the way, and and

373
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: you know in theory he's got that same great schedule

374
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: down the stretch. I feel like we've talked about this,

375
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: but he's sort of underachieved this year, right, I mean,

376
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: he's not scoring touchdowns, we know that, but I look

377
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: at his his yardage. Didn't he just scored two? He

378
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: scored two on Sundays, incredibly Fouki touchdown UM touchdowns and touchdowns.

379
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,479
Speaker 1: I mean, but yes, but it's it's that's hard to count. Meanwhile,

380
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: like his touch has sort of gone down, his his

381
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: yardage totals have gone down significantly in the last few weeks,

382
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: and maybe this is just a rough stretch, Maybe it

383
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: just as the schedule hasn't quite worked out and it

384
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: will open up for him. I just it's just I

385
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: feel like that's another thing. I think we've kind of

386
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 1: generally ignored the Panthers, but Christian McAffrey and he has

387
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: sort of underachieved this ship well. In week six and

388
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: weeks seven, they got behind early to Washington. In Week six,

389
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: they went down two scores and then obviously had to

390
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: chase the game against Phillis, So they really haven't been

391
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: in a game script that's allowed McCaffrey to establish the run.

392
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: And then last week they played Baltimore and the Baltimore

393
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: Ravens have a great front seven. So yeah, I don't

394
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: I don't think it's really fair to say McCaffrey has

395
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: been like he's underachieved. He's been He's been to top

396
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: twelve PPR back that's what he's drafted for, you know. Yeah,

397
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess so, And I guess then of

398
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: snaps to him. He's definitely playing a ton of stacks

399
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: up to the series. It's crazy. Yeah, So, I mean

400
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: I guess so. I guess I am. I'm expecting more

401
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: from from Christian McCoy. Just want more touchdowns, man, it's all.

402
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: We all want more touch That is all that we want.

403
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: Other guys that you might want to keep an eye

404
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: out for, so David Johnson, who last week Sunday wasn't

405
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: it wasn't spectacular, but he got you a hundred screwming

406
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: jars right, and he he looks like they're they're gonna

407
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: get him more touches, They're gonna get him more involved

408
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: in the offense. I mean, at this point, can we

409
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: still is it still possibly buy low on David Johnson?

410
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: And is everybody kind of up in there there? I

411
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: think value on him. I think so based on the

412
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: responses I was getting from my start set um Q

413
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: and A on Friday on the NFL Fantasy Handle, I

414
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: think everyone is trying to like move David Johnson. I

415
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: think they're just sick of him, man, like they have

416
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: they're buying. Week nine, they come back to face Kansas City, Oakland,

417
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: the Chargers, Packers, lines, and Falcons. It's pretty bad. It's

418
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: not bad. And then I mean perfect sharp football stats,

419
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: strength of schedule metrics over the next basically next eight weeks,

420
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are number one in terms of rush deefficiency

421
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: on their opponents, So not a bad little It's not

422
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: a bad schedule. That schedule, not a bad schedule at all.

423
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: But I do since obviously there's a lot of frustration

424
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: with David Johnson because it just and the thing is,

425
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: he's what, he's a top ten running back right now.

426
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: It's just it. I think I think people feel about

427
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: him sort of the way I've been feeling about about

428
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: Christian mccaffreys, that we just expected so much more and

429
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: it just hasn't quite worked out. He's actually in standard

430
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: the number twelve RB right now, but either way, I mean,

431
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: he's still kind of giving you RB one production most weeks.

432
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: I think we just just expected so much more, but

433
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: home who knows, maybe more is coming down the stretch.

434
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: Um Doug Baldwin and I put him in here is

435
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: sort of like head scratch lee right because the Seahawks

436
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: offense has actually started to play better. Their offensive line

437
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: has actually started to play better, which is a little

438
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: bit of a surprise, and that's helping Russell Wilson. Um.

439
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: The problem fabs that there's just not a lot of

440
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: passing volume in this offense. I mean, yeah, what did

441
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: he have whattions? Doug Baldwin has potential, but they're just

442
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: not throwing it all that much there. Pick up David Moore,

443
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: dude has four touchdowns in his last three games. Really

444
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: and Tug Baldwin's had one good PPR game all year one. UM,

445
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: And I think a part of the reason why, I mean,

446
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: just like you mentioned, I mean, they're running the ball

447
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: so successfully than Chris Carson three yard games in his

448
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: last four. UM. You know, Mike Davis has had a

449
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: couple of flashes here and there. They're just running the

450
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: ball so well. But here's the thing, and you know,

451
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: can is there gonna be any regression with the percentage

452
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: of completions that end up being touchdowns that Russell has

453
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: from here on out? Because you know, if he's throwing

454
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: three touchdown passes for every fourteen completions every single game,

455
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. Is his touchdown rate that's ridiculous eight point

456
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: eight percent. That's tops in the league behind the count

457
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: on that. No, you can't. I mean Wilson hasn't thrown

458
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: for more than twenty six pass attempt since a week two.

459
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: And I mean there's there's no there's just not enough

460
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: volume volume for anyone here besides Wilson. And if you're

461
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: telling me that you know this is gonna be his limit,

462
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna throw twenty passes max a game.

463
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: You know, I've got to I've got a hope that

464
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: he can continue to put up a big percentage of

465
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: those completions into touchdowns because otherwise he's not running the

466
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: ball at all. And that's where Russell Wilson and any quarterback,

467
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: any quarterback who can run with the football, and we've

468
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: seen it. There have been bad NFL quarterbacks who have

469
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: been good fantasy quarterbacks because they can run with the football.

470
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: And that just added to Russell's value. And that's why

471
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: he's been so great for so long. Uh the number

472
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 1: one quarterback and fantasy last season. But if also has

473
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: not giving me the rushing yards and I have to

474
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: depend on a high percentage of touchdown passes on a

475
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: low percentage of completions every week, then I feel like

476
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm kind of playing with fire now. I guess the

477
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: upside is he's had two or more touchdown passes in

478
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: every game except one, so that has sort of kept

479
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: him a float because he's not the yardist has not

480
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: been there. He got he hit to in week one,

481
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: he hasn't sniffed. He hasn't really sniffed to seventy five.

482
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: I mean since then, it's just been hyper efficient. This

483
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: is super oxen Seahawks offense. They've increased their play action

484
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: right over the last three weeks and it's really helped

485
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: clear up those throwing lanes for Russell Wilson and that's

486
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: why we're seeing these huge chunk plays and all the

487
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: red zone efficiency too. I mean, Wilson has been the

488
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: best red zone quarterback in the league this year in

489
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: terms of touchdown right, that's pretty amazing too. And that

490
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: that definitely you know, it's funny too because it happens

491
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: when Jimmy Graham is gone, So you know, you you

492
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: would figure it would have, you know, stopped shoveling targets

493
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Graham. Maybe that's what it is. So, I mean,

494
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: I think that in terms of the schedule it opens

495
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: up for Doug Baldwin, but I don't know that it

496
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: that it works necessarily Chris Carson, who I have on

497
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: this list, also, it seems like a much better candidate

498
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: just because they are running the ball a lot now

499
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: in battle. And it's funny too because, like you remember,

500
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: he had that huge game and then the following game,

501
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: it was like, wait, Mike Davis is gonna play when

502
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: Carson is going to be out of action? Shot Penny

503
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: didn't play a single week. I know. I mean that

504
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: might that may end up going down as one of

505
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: the worst first round picks, and not only the Seahawks franchise,

506
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: but the NFL if I mean, you're not going to

507
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: use the game made they made a trade to get him,

508
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean, and this is a team that had other

509
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: needs a man um so I put Dalvin Cook on

510
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: the list because the schedule for the Vikings is really

511
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: good down the stretch, especially in the playoffs, and I

512
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: guess it's just a belief in whether or not Dalvin

513
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: Cook is going to get healthy. You look at their

514
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: playoffs schedule, it's Seattle, Miami and Detroit. I mean, the

515
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks on the road could be a tough matchup, but

516
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: the the Dolphins and the Lions have had no answers

517
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: for running back so far this season, so those two

518
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: were great. Just can we be assured what level of

519
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: confidence to either of you have that Dalwin Cook is

520
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: going to be healthy and ready to go when we

521
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: get two weeks of fourteen fifteen sixteen. I mean, the

522
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: dude and I know Dalvin and he's a good dude,

523
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: but I mean, he's been hurt for the majority of

524
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: his NFL career and it's a short NFL career, but

525
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: he was great last year. Unfortunately the knee injury knocked

526
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: him out for most of the season and now he's

527
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: had the hamstring that has hindered him throughout this season.

528
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: And the thing that I'm a little bit concerned about is,

529
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: so Latavius is gonna play Detroit this coming week and

530
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna run all over them. So I mean, you

531
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: didn't end up having four good weeks in a row.

532
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: And does he somehow become a bigger part of the

533
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: backfield rotation if he continues to play well once Dalvin

534
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: does come back, And is this hamstring gonna be a

535
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: thing of the past once they do bring him back,

536
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: because they've tried to bring him back and it's been

537
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: a problem. And then we had two weeks ago where

538
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: he had a full participation and then suddenly he's he's out,

539
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: and and what happened, what happened if suddenly he had

540
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: some Soto setback. Vikings have not been clear about this

541
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: at all. At first, when Dalvin Cook pulled his hamstring,

542
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: he basically just said it was Crams. I mean, we

543
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: we have no actual intel of what Cook's injury is.

544
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: I want no part. I want I want no part

545
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: of that from Cook. I mean, I mean, it's unfortunate

546
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: because I loved him too this year, and I made

547
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: a deal with you fas to get him too. But

548
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: I did give you Litavius, and so you're like, I

549
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: mean this week, I mean Detroit, they can't stop the run.

550
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: So I mean it's a great play, But I mean

551
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: you take risks. I mean I've been taking risks all

552
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: season long in trades. I mean, it happens because you know,

553
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: if you're in a position like you are, where you're

554
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs, why not take a risk and

555
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: get a guy who has a ridiculously favorable schedule during

556
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: the Fantasy playoffs and you roll the dice and you

557
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: see what happens. So I'm so that's maybe I put

558
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: him on this list because I'm hoping for my own

559
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: selfish purposes that he comes back, it's healthy, uh and

560
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: is ready to go. Um. A couple of Ravens on

561
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: the list, John Brown and Alex Collins. And John Brown

562
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: has been just he's been great this year. Uh. You know,

563
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: you have wanted to down weeks, but I feel like

564
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's gonna happen, especially with wide receivers,

565
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: but it happens with everybody. But John Brown has been

566
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: been really, really good. Alex Collins has been a little

567
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: bit harder to figure so far because well I saw

568
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: this stat yesterday before the game. Lamar Jackson is actually

569
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: second in rushing yards in Baltimore, which I think speaks

570
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: more to their running backs than it does to anything

571
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson maybe doing there. I would assume you guys

572
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: have more confidence in John Brown than Alex Collins or

573
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I'm wrong there. No I do. I

574
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: mean John Brown his his he deserves our trust. I mean,

575
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: I know he wasn't great last week, but I mean

576
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: he's not an elite wide receiver who's gonna put up

577
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: twenty every single game. But he's clearly become the number

578
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: one target for Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco, what does he

579
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: like to do? He likes to take chances downfield. John Brown,

580
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: where does he make a lot of his hey in

581
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: the vertical past attack. So I still trusted him. But again,

582
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, this is a situation here where

583
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: there's gonna be ebbs and flows. But I think John

584
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: Brown has been much better than most of us expected

585
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: in terms of his statistical success. Mean, he's been better

586
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: than Michael Crabtree and a lot of us not Crabtree

587
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: would be the guy who leaves that team and targets

588
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: UH and fantasy points at the wide receiver position. So

589
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: even if the matchup isn't great and we're entering bipocalypse

590
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: right now with six teams on a by this week,

591
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: he's he's going to be in most lineups. Yeah, John

592
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: Brown's the next three games, he gets the Steelers, Bengals,

593
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: and Raiders all at home. Yeah, I mean Brown Brown

594
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: leaves all receivers still in deep targets per game, which

595
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: is I mean, which is great. And you know it's

596
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: it's funny because I think because of the health issues

597
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: and because we didn't see him for a little while,

598
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: I think we sort of forgot a little bit of

599
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: what he did in Arizona. I mean, like when when

600
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: the Cardinals had it rolling for a little while, right

601
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: and they had Larry Fitzgerald still kind of at the

602
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: height of his powers and Carson Palmer slinging and John

603
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: Brown like really jumped in their continents as that deep,

604
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: that deep threat guy, that big play guy, and I

605
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: think we sort of forgot about it. So but it's

606
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 1: good to have him back. It's absolutely nice to have

607
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: him back. Um, guys to trade away on the flip side,

608
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: guys that we don't really want any parts of. I

609
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: looked at the the the Falcons schedule down the stretch

610
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: and it is it is not great, which is sort

611
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: of surprising because they play in the NFC South, so

612
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: you figure they'd have some chances. But their schedule in

613
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Playoffs at Green Bay home to Arizona and

614
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: then at Carolina. Um, you know, then they tantalize us

615
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: by playing the Bucks in week seventeen. Thanks for nothing. Um,

616
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: maybe you're gonna trade away Julio. I know people are

617
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: still like really unnecessarily flipping out over this no touchdown thing.

618
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: I'm not trading Julio Jones, but you get talking me

619
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: into moving Mohammed Sanu and Calvin Ridley, unless one of

620
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: you guys can talk me out of it and give

621
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: me a reason why you would consider hanging on the

622
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: one or both of those guys. At this point, you

623
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: wanna hear something crazy, Sure, Bhulio Jones is every more

624
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: yards per game than Adam Heeland. That is kind of

625
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: wild that a guy who has what I'm just saying,

626
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: Julio is a sick oh every single year he's amazing

627
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: on the yards game per river run basis um. I

628
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: don't think most poll know that Calvin really is yet

629
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: to play over sixty of the Falcons team snaps. I

630
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: don't think anybody knows that. I mean, we were basically

631
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,479
Speaker 1: banking on him scoring on one of his five targets

632
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: every week. I mean, he was an easy, easy sell

633
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: high for a while for anyone paying attention to usage.

634
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: Every leg wasn't easy so high. And I agree the

635
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: Falcons had a fantastic opening schedule. Fantastic opening schedule. Now

636
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: they come back and play Washington, Cleveland and Dallas, three

637
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: of which I mean, I think all three pretty stingy defenses, right, So,

638
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just I feel like this is

639
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: probably the time, you know, get what you can out

640
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: of the falcons guys right now, um, I mean looking

641
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: at the the schedule coming up, I mean they just

642
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: come off the buy. It's not great really, I mean

643
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: at Washington at Cleveland, which is is hit or miss.

644
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean the Cowboys can can be tough. I mean

645
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: they've got the Saints, but it's just not a great schedule.

646
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: So this might be the time to start moving some

647
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: of those Falcons off your roster and seeing what you

648
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: can get there. Um. Similarly, with the receivers there in Detroit,

649
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: at least you know two of the three, I feel

650
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: like Golden Tate is generally pretty safe, although I know

651
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: he's not lately, and say I know that lately he's

652
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: kind of been as it's not that good lately. But

653
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: certainly Kimmy Galladay and Marvin Jones because one, you know,

654
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of people myself included, uh sat Marvin

655
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: Jones in a lot of leagues and certainly did not

656
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: expect the explosion that happened on Sunday. But again, their

657
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: schedule down the stretch at Arizona, at Buffalo and then

658
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: home to the Minnesota Vikings not particularly encouraging. I guess

659
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: I could make a case for for Gola Day, but

660
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: I have a hard time holding on to Marvin Jones

661
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: at this point. It's sell high on on that after

662
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: the big today, Yeah, after you'd package him in a deal.

663
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: The larger concern for me is not necessarily their schedule,

664
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: is just the way they're structuring their offense. During the

665
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: first three games of the year, the Lines were averaging

666
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: seventy plays per game per PFFS pat form, and since

667
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: then the Lines are at fifty six players per game.

668
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: That's way like, by far the last team in the

669
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: NFL in terms of play volume per game. And that's

670
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: why all these guys aren't seeing consistent targets. We've seen

671
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: Tate's targets fall, We've seen Holidays targets fall. Marvin Jones

672
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: has had big, random, spiked weeks. Um. Yeah, I think

673
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: it's just kind of the structure of their offense right now.

674
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: I mean it is. And it's also that you know,

675
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: we've talked about this that Matthew Stafford is just not

676
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: throwing the ball nearly as much it seems as he

677
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: has in the past. I mean, you know, he this

678
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: is the guy that in the past we you could

679
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: lock him up for close to six d passing attempts

680
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: per season. Um, it just hasn't been there like that

681
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: this year. The lines are trying to do other things.

682
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: They're actually trying to incorporate a little bit of a

683
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: running game. I mean, we've seen more carry On Johnson

684
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: and even some of the Garrett Blunt Blurg over the

685
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: last few weeks. But uh, it's just a different offense.

686
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: And they didn't even run the ball successfully this past week.

687
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: I mean, carry On made most of his hey as

688
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: a pass catcher, and Stafford still gave you a seventeen,

689
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: which is subpar right now for a quarterback. It's a

690
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: double whammy, right, The Lions are running for your places

691
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: because they want to run the ball, and the lines

692
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: are consistently one of the slowest paced team ms in

693
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: the NFL in terms of offensive pace last year the

694
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven. This year, they're dead lasting pace pace per play.

695
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, it's just kind of one of

696
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: those things where it's the same thing we were just

697
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: talking about with Russell Wilson. It's a double whammy. You

698
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: got a semi slow offense that's run heavy. Those past

699
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: attempts are going to come down, right Uh. The Saints

700
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: schedule down the stretch is not particularly great either, and

701
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: so a couple of names there, Drew Brees, Michael Thomas.

702
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: I look at the schedule and I'm like, yeah, Michael Thomas,

703
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: maybe maybe he worries me. I maybe maybe this is

704
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: just me going on my own personal bias and my

705
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: love for watching him play as a football player. I can't.

706
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: I can't bring myself to maybe put Michael Thomas on

707
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: the trading block. It's such a stud, right, it's five

708
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: for sixty is your floor every week? It's insane. But

709
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, and I look, I understand the

710
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: reasoning the start of this, and I once Ingram came back,

711
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: I said to sell high on Drew Brees. And Drew

712
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: Brees has not been good as last two games. He

713
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: had seven against Minnesota last night. I think seven points

714
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: not good. And now that this off senses is gonna

715
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: end up going back towards up, well, I mean, Angram

716
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: got most of his burn in the second half, but

717
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: Camara is still the dude. But I mean, Michael Thomas,

718
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: the start that he had, it was unbelievable. He had

719
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: what twenty two plus in three straight games, two games

720
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: over thirty and since then, outside of one game where

721
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: he had about nineteen, he's been mediocre. He's he has

722
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: been mediocre. I mean, I get it. I mean David

723
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: Moore has more touchdowns in the in the last three games,

724
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: uh than than Thomas has. It's it's it's a weird

725
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: dynamic there in New England. And I get it. Michael

726
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: Thomas is awesome and he's gonna have monster games. But

727
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I had him in two leagues, three leagues.

728
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: I traded him away in two and I mean so far,

729
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, losing him hasn't hurt me.

730
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: It hasn't hurt me. But I would tell you this,

731
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: You've got to get a boatload and return for him.

732
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: You have to get him. Don't trade him after last

733
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: night when he didn't put up a good stat line

734
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: and honestly, his biggest, his biggest play of the game

735
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: lie night, that wasn't a catch. He got lucky. That

736
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: was not a catch, and then the Vikings didn't want

737
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: to to challenge it and then burn both of their

738
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: challenges at the beginning of the game. But he got lucky.

739
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: That wasn't a catch. That was a weird game last night,

740
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: for for what it's worth. I mean, because throws the

741
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: pick six Stealen has a weird fumble that was returned right.

742
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm not selling Mike Thomas just I'm gonna go in there.

743
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: If I can get a boatload for him, I'll do it.

744
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: I mean, they get Ram Rams, Bengals Eagles in their

745
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: next three, They've already had their by None of those,

746
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: None of those secondaries scared me, especially since Marcus Peters

747
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: hasn't been playing as well with his calf injury. This year,

748
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals have been losing to defensive players left and right.

749
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: In the Eagles secondary hasn't been very good. Yeah, I'm

750
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: not I'm not afraid of Michael Thomas the next couple

751
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: of weeks. Yeah, I think. I think I just can't

752
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: move him. Drew Brees I can make a case for

753
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: just because you know now that mark Ingram is back there,

754
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: back to being that that offensive leans a little more

755
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: heavily on their running backs. They don't Drew Brees doesn't

756
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: have to throw for three hundred yards because they don't

757
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: need him to throw for three hundred yards. So that

758
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: one I can, I can certainly, although trading quarterbacks is

759
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 1: always really difficult. Also, Um, Aaron Jones, all the Aaron

760
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 1: Jones truthers rejoiced he actually had a good game on Sunday,

761
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: right Like, they gave him touches, he ran the ball well,

762
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: he scored a touchdown, although I did laugh early in

763
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: the game when you know they got near the goal line,

764
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: they put Jamal Williams in there and he got a

765
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: Russian size out of the goal live. But Aaron Jones like,

766
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: is this is this a sell high time on him?

767
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: Or do you like you try to ride this out

768
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: with him right now? That's a good question because I

769
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: mean they still utilize Jamal Williams and though Time Montgomery

770
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: he may be in the doghouse for the rest of

771
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: the yeah, yeah, yeah. So basically, the coaching staff told

772
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: Time Montgomery to take a knee on the kick, and

773
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 1: instead of doing that, he ran it, fumbled, lost any

774
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: opportunity for Aaron Rodgers to make a comeback, which I

775
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: mean he's had maybe one or two in his career.

776
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: And um, there's there's a little dissension among the Packers

777
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: ranks right now on that team when it comes to

778
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: Time Montgomery. So maybe that's actually a good thing for Jones. Well,

779
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: the play before what happened was time on Grammer got

780
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: pulled off the field, slammed his helman got angry, and

781
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: then because because and then the kick attorney decides to

782
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: bring it back even though they told him not to.

783
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: Not a good situation. Not a good situation. Yeah, I

784
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: feel like Time Montgomery might not be a threat to

785
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: anybody in that backfield in anytime soon just because of

786
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: what's happening. So, but you know, Aaron Jones again playing

787
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: at least well this past week, Um, maybe it is

788
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: time to look to move him. Looking at Green Bay

789
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: schedule in the in the postseason, Uh, They've got Atlanta,

790
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: which is good at home. Then they go to Chicago,

791
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: which you know, depending on how the division shakes out,

792
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: could be a huge game in the NFC North. And

793
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: then they finished at the New York Jets. Uh in

794
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: weeks sixteen again Detroit weeks seventeen would be great. Not

795
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: helping anybody, thanks schedule makers. Um, so that's maybe a

796
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: reason to to consider moving Aaron Jones. H T J. Yeldon.

797
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: What are you going to get for him right now? Nothing?

798
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: That's the thing, because like this that the thing was

799
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: so much about schedule for me with with them, Um,

800
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: it's just about the fact that Leonard Fournette's gonna come

801
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: back at some point. In Carlos, Um, there's just I

802
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: guess if you didn't move t J. Yelden, you're probably

803
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: stuck with t J Yeldon at this point, right, Like,

804
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: there's no packaging him. Maybe he's about the best thing.

805
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you could try and package him, but

806
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: at this point, I think he's going to take the

807
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: only play you have here. Maybe is you package yelled

808
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: in and four net to somebody that feels like they

809
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: want a piece of the Jags rushing offense over the

810
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: final that makes sense the final eight games of their season.

811
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: Other than that, Um, here's what So this is an

812
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: interesting question is I was going through this list and

813
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 1: putting these guys together. This is one that I thought

814
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: was interesting because you look at the Rams schedule, right,

815
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: They've got They've got the Bears, the Eagles, and the

816
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 1: Cardinals in the fantasy playoffs, and you know, a couple

817
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: of those contentially be tough matchups. But the Ram's offense

818
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: to this point has been such a juggernaut that you know,

819
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the Packers kind of got after them a

820
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: little bit it on Sunday, curious to see what happens

821
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: with them and the Saints coming up this week. Is

822
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: this the case that where you look at this, you

823
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: look at their production and seeing what they can do,

824
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: and you don't worry about the schedule or do you

825
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: even take that into account and say, you know what,

826
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we have written this Robert Woods train or

827
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks or what have you as far as we can,

828
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: and maybe it's time to get off this train right now.

829
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: What what's amazing to me is that their production has

830
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: sort of both fallen as we believed that they were

831
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: going to be more target opportunities with Cooper Cup on

832
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: the sidelines. I mean, Brandon Cooks was stuck in a

833
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: goose sake forever in that game yesterday. And that game

834
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: was weird too, because Packers did a great job in

835
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: the first half, especially they really did uh and uh

836
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: jerr Alexander, I mean he he was was, He's all

837
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: over the players, extremely good, extremely good in that game.

838
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: So what's weird is that, I mean, ever since Cooper

839
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: Cup has been out, the passing game seemed to have

840
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: taken a little bit of a step back. For the

841
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: first three quarters, the Packers blitz a ton, and that's

842
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: what Jimman Jared Goff has rattled in the pocket. We

843
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: know what the Rams are gonna do every week. They're

844
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: gonna send a eleven personnel out there. They're not gonna

845
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: they're not gonna leave their tight ends to block very much.

846
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: So blits his work against them if golf can't beat him,

847
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: And that's why we saw the Rams off. It's kind

848
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: of staggnate a little bit. But then we saw the

849
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: upside right start running those play actions. They hit the

850
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 1: wood on the crossers, they cooks deep, they get girly

851
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: involved in the past game, the short passing game to

852
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: kind of neutralize the blitz. Yeah, that's that's one of those.

853
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: That's another team too, Like the Saints. I'm not trading

854
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: Mike Thomas. I'm not turning the guys are just does

855
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 1: they get five, six, five or sixty every week? Any

856
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns that you get, it's just gravy see for me,

857
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: everybody's on the block sands. You know, maybe like a

858
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: like a girly, like an elite player like a girly,

859
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: or maybe even like a feeling right now, But that's

860
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: just me. I'm a riverboat gambler when it comes to

861
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: making trades. I'm always ready for the action. So then

862
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you'd be perfectly ready to trade Kenyan Drake

863
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: at this point, right yeah, yeah, well right now, his

864
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: value is not going to get any higher. I mean,

865
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: the last couple of games, and you know, he got

866
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: set up perfectly. There was a turnover, um, there was

867
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: a bad call, ended up giving the Dolphins the ball

868
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: deep where they might have otherwise had to kick a

869
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: field goal, and Drake ended up scoring a touchdown. He

870
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: scored three times in his last two games. But the

871
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: playoff schedule just scares me. I mean, New England, what

872
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: does what does New England do? Right? Defensively, they take

873
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: away the opposition's best player, or at least they try to.

874
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: And Drake is the best player Miami has on offense.

875
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean there's no question about that. Right Then he

876
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: goes to Minnesota, still a tough road game, game script

877
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: being an issue there, and then in week sixteen he's

878
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: got Jacksonville, and I get Jacksonville is sort of a

879
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: dumpster fire right now, but the defense is still pretty good.

880
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: So if I can flip Kenyan Drake right now and

881
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,919
Speaker 1: get a nice package in return. I'd seriously be thinking

882
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: about it. You don't want a piece of a brock

883
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: Wiler offense, that's what you're looking. Hey, if you're still

884
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 1: throwing the ball to DeVante Parker so much, then maybe.

885
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, like, you know, Drake was one

886
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: of the guys that I was fading. I didn't. I

887
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: got him in one league. I think it was the

888
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: best ball league. That was it, because he's an explosive

889
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: guy who can do exactly that give you a monster

890
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: stat line. But I'm still I mean, Frank work is

891
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: still getting his touches there. He's still getting touches there.

892
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: I would say that That's one thing that Adam Gays

893
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: has been spot on with the public about is that

894
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: he's been said from the beginning, Look, Frank Gore is

895
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: not here just to be, you know, a figurehead. He's

896
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: not here just to be a veteran. Presidents like we're

897
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: going to play him, and it's true to his word.

898
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 1: They have given Frank Gore the ball, and like, let's

899
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: be honest with I mean, Gore has played well, you know,

900
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: in relatively limited opportunities, he has done a lot with

901
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: his opportunities, So um, that's going to keep going until

902
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: something really sideways happens. So of course, what we're talking

903
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: about this a little bit more is we get a

904
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: little bit closer to the trading deadline and who knows

905
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: if there are actual NFL trains that have fantasy value

906
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: that could impact who you may be trading for or

907
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: trading away as we get to the close the close

908
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: of the trading season here in fantasy football. G Suite

00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 1: have twenty identical versions of a document, They're all labeled final,

915
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: and then you start to forget which one is which,

916
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: which one is the most current one, so you make

917
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: another version of it. You call that one final final. Well.

00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: some guys who, well, just be honest with this, stunk

928
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: it up this past week Fantasy wise, who did not

929
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: give you the kind of production that you thought you

930
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: would get. Uh, And we I know, Fabs, you made

931
00:42:58,280 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: a list of some of these guys, and I know

932
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: there's on here. It will get to him in a

933
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: little bit. That particularly drew your ire but your your

934
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 1: list of stinkers this week actually begins with Drew Brees. Yeah.

935
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: Well I talked about it again seven Fantasy points and

936
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: his his numbers haven't been great since Anger and Camara

937
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: back in the mix. And I just remember last season

938
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: I had Drew Brees on one of my rosters and

939
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: I hated starting them every single week because he was mediocre.

940
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: And I get it, you know, it's a high standard.

941
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: This is one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history

942
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. He's one of the greatest

943
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the history of fantasy football. But last season

944
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: he was giving you like sixteen seventeen points a game.

945
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's modest for a guy of Drew

946
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: Brees stature. And I'm just worried that we're gonna get

947
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: back into that again where he'll give you some good

948
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: stat lines but then he'll throw a seven at you

949
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: and and knock you out for a week. Because that

950
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: is a really hard thing to overcome in fantasy football.

951
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: When your quarterback gives you a fewer than ten points,

952
00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: it's really hard to come back from that. And I

953
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: know that well because I started Jameis Winston in like

954
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: three legs this week. Yeah, it does the thing you

955
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: have funny because Jameis Winson had a terrible game, but

956
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: he's still out towards Drew Brees, which a lot about

957
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,439
Speaker 1: how many What's crazy is that Taysom Hill scored three

958
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: fewer points than Drew Brees. Can we talk about the

959
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill usage now in this offense? It's insane. Sean

960
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: Payton not less. Sean Payton is not helping us out.

961
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's not his job, but it's crazy.

962
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: Like he's getting carries, he's getting receptions, he's getting he's

963
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: he's only passes. This is just the same iteration of

964
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: the same Sean Payton we've seen for so many years.

965
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: But it's just a new player. Yeah, it's just a

966
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: new guy. It's just so frustrating going back real quick,

967
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: going back to fabs's original point um in the first

968
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: four games in the year when they didn't have Ingram,

969
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: the Saints we're averaging forty forty past attempts per game,

970
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: and over the last three weeks with Ingram it's down

971
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: at seven. And that was They're going back to that

972
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: run heavy off with both of this, that that formula

973
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: almost got tim and maybe should have gotten them to

974
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So used a shot at this, Why

975
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: go right? Why go back? Why why go back? And

976
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: and I get it, you know, for fantasy purposes, we

977
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: would love them to be throwing the ball forty times

978
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: a game for Breeze and Michael Thomas and Camara who's

979
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: a pass catching running back. But for real football, the

980
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: Saints were a better team last season when they leaned

981
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: on Ingram Camara in the run. Yeah. I mean, look,

982
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: this is one of those things where obviously the the

983
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: fantasy versions and the and the real live versions sort

984
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: of sort of clash with one another. So that's why

985
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: I keep an eye on. Look. I'm curious because I

986
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: know you've been kind of you, You've had this running

987
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: mustard rant, just kind of dude Perco Layton for a while.

988
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm I see just I will give you a minute

989
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: if you want to get a simple wall No, go ahead,

990
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: I dude, I mean go for it. Shanahan agains. I

991
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: thought it was dead, okay, and obviously it's lived on

992
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: through Mike Shanahan's son Kyle. Right now, now, we like

993
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, okay, last three Sea since he's given us

994
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 1: a top eight PPR running back in each of those seasons.

995
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 1: And a lot of us were excited about Jerick McKinnon

996
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: and then he went down. And you know, now you've

997
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: got Matt Breda in there, okay, and Matt Brida, and

998
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of frustrating players. Matt Brida has

999
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: been the single most frustrating Fantasy player. Why because this

1000
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: guy is like a damn zombie. Okay, we think he's

1001
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: dead and he just comes back to life. Now, let's

1002
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: look back at the timeline here for Brida. Okay, Now,

1003
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: remember back in week three looked like he really hurt

1004
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: himself bad against the Chiefs. Like we thought he's gonna

1005
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: be out several weeks. This is gonna be a situation

1006
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: where all of a sudden, Alfred Morris is gonna get

1007
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: a lot of burn, right, We really thought that was

1008
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: gonna be the case, and then suddenly bridges Okay, and

1009
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: he plays sixty three percent in the Snaps the following week,

1010
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: and anyone who picked up Alfred Morris was basically busted.

1011
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: But then he injured his ankle. Okay, so then the

1012
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: following week we're thinking, oh, Alfred Morris, maybe week maybe

1013
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: this is the week to to go out and get him. Uh.

1014
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris basically ended up being close to a featured back,

1015
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: and then you're thinking, okay, Week five, Morris's twenty one

1016
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: touches the Snaps, breed is hurt again, So I'm gonna

1017
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: play Alfred Morris in the upcoming week. And Brita, it

1018
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,959
Speaker 1: looked like you had high ankle sprain. They were saying

1019
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: mid to high ankle sprain with this guy. Okay. Even

1020
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: Shanahan said he was gonna be doubtful to play that week.

1021
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: And that would have been Week six, So all of

1022
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: a sudden, Brita is upgraded late in the week to

1023
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: a limited participation in practice, still not likely to play.

1024
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: Guess what he ends up being active and he leaves

1025
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: the damn Niners and snaps and touches and Morris has

1026
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: no touches in the game. So people who started Alfred

1027
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: Morris got a big fat nothing. Okay, so now we're

1028
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: back to Okay, I guess Breed is the guy now.

1029
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: But wait a minute, this where he Mostart. He's kind

1030
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: of interesting too. Write week six the snap count for Brida,

1031
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: forty for Mostart. So we're thinking, okay, Alfred Morris is

1032
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 1: out of the mix now and it's Breta and Mostard. Okay,

1033
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: now move ahead. Week seven. Brita still banged up. He's

1034
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: got an ankle injury, he's got a shoulder injury. He's

1035
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: he's on the injury report. We're thinking, okay, he's not

1036
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: gonna play, right, He's he's not gonna play, and then

1037
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he ends up being taken off

1038
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: the injury. Play plays in Week seven against the Rams,

1039
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: and he plays five snaps and then he gets heart right,

1040
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: So then what happens Mostard becomes the guy. He has

1041
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 1: to feature back thirty of the snaps, leaves the backfield

1042
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: and touches, and oh my goodness, gracious, Matt Breta is

1043
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: not gonna miss time, and Mostard is gonna be the

1044
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: number one waiver wire pickup. And I'm gonna start Mostard.

1045
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: You know why, Graham. He's playing the Cardinals and their

1046
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: defense stinks against the run and most of it it was

1047
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: probably the most popular sleeper in fantasy football among running

1048
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: backs last week. So what happens? Okay, Breed is missing practice,

1049
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: MRS practice Wednesday, MRS practice Thursday, he's limited on Friday,

1050
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: he's questionable, doesn't seem likely to play. Then there's a

1051
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: report that comes out that Breed is gonna play, but

1052
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be limited. Okay, well he's gonna be limited,

1053
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: so maybe I can still play Mostard. Right, it's a

1054
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: good matchup this guy. Last week, you know, he led

1055
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: the team in snap percentage. He left the team in touches.

1056
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: I want to play Mostard. Britta played stops and he

1057
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: had sixty touches and Mostard had too. You're right, no,

1058
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, I'm afraid of the table. What did we do.

1059
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,720
Speaker 1: What did we do to you to make you treat

1060
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: us this way? Fantasy football? Listen, we live and die

1061
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: with this stuff too. I'm sorry, Graham. I don't mean

1062
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: to scare you. Two touches. Two touches after he had

1063
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: eleven the previous week and twelve the previous week. And

1064
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: this has everything to do with Brita. There somebody's not

1065
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: being honest with us. The guy is hurt and he

1066
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: comes out and know where, all of a sudden he's

1067
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: leading with snaps. I'm done. Your your voice is going,

1068
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm done, man, Like seriously, Guys like, correct me if

1069
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm wrong? Is he not the most frustrating player in

1070
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: fantasy football? And is this not the most frustrating situation

1071
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: in fantasy football? It has been, It has been kind

1072
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: of remarkable at the very least, he's the toughest player

1073
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: in football, right or although if he was tough, he

1074
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: would stay in the whole damn game. I feel like

1075
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: he's either he's the toughest or he's just extra when

1076
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: it comes to like getting hurt, and I haven't figured

1077
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: out which one is which yet. In fairness, though, I mean,

1078
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: he separated his shoulder in the priest that knee injury

1079
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: looked like it was gonna be too, So yeah, I

1080
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,439
Speaker 1: guess at that point he seems to just bounce back.

1081
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: He's sort of wolverine ish and and comes back a

1082
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: little bit um, but he bounces back and then he

1083
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: gets banged up, and I mean it's a mess. And

1084
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: then like the whole Morris thing too, he went from

1085
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: like not touching the football and we're thinking he's going

1086
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: to be out of the mix. So it's not only

1087
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: just about Brina. So I mean the usage is like

1088
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: the usage is unpredicted, the idea. And I would say this,

1089
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:52,720
Speaker 1: like Rita keeps coming back, and every time he comes back,

1090
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,879
Speaker 1: it's been just average production. It's not he's come back

1091
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: and like giving you like great numbers, you know. So

1092
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,040
Speaker 1: he's just he's sort of sucked the air out of

1093
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: the offense for everybody else, right, you know, it's incredible.

1094
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 1: As a team. The Niners are third in rushing yards

1095
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: per game and they don't have a single startable that

1096
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: you can trust, right, and they've got Oakland this week.

1097
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: I believe it's Thursday night, that's on Thursday, and I

1098
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: mean Oakland just gave up, you know, thirty points to

1099
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: to Marlon Mack. But like that's also a part of

1100
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: the frustration too, is that like these Cardinals running backs

1101
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: are getting good matchups and I don't know who I'm

1102
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still blown away grand but you say they're

1103
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,760
Speaker 1: they're rushing totals and I'm looking at this like, holy crap,

1104
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: Like Shanahan is the man, He's incredible every year. It's

1105
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: just we don't have any It's just now turned into

1106
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 1: this unpredicted. It's just it's just because because of is interest,

1107
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: they're doing it. However they can do it, and there's

1108
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: no You're right, there's nobody here that you can. I

1109
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:46,959
Speaker 1: am a feeling that Matt Breed is even gonna somehow

1110
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: played during the bye when going, they'll find a way

1111
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,320
Speaker 1: to play and get like ten carries that week. I

1112
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: mean just and I started most in in two leagues

1113
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: because I kind of had to because I had filled

1114
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: in by week and injuries with that and goodness too touches.

1115
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean, jeez, Louise, Oh, let's see other names on

1116
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 1: your stinkers list, Jimmy Jimmy Graham like that. I thought this,

1117
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: I really thought this is gonna be hug Jimmy Graham

1118
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: because the Rams hadn't been able to really corral tight

1119
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,959
Speaker 1: ends all year long. I mean, that's that's how Jared

1120
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: Cooked broke into our consciousness back in Week one. I

1121
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: thought this is gonna be a huge Jimmy Graham week.

1122
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: He almost had a touchdown and then that was the

1123
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: last we heard of him for the rest of the game.

1124
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 1: You want to talk about so In Joku, who had

1125
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: maybe the best matchup of of any tight end, right,

1126
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: actually he had the best matchup of any tight ends.

1127
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: Sands c j U Sama and they both had nothing.

1128
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: They both said, Hey, guys, don't let your kids grow

1129
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: up to be fantasy football analysts because it's not easy.

1130
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: It's not easy, especially if you look at Twitter. I'm

1131
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 1: so I'm looking at the top tight ends for a

1132
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,479
Speaker 1: week A right, Jordan Thomas first off is the number

1133
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: one tied in who had twenty nine hole receiving yards,

1134
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: but he had two touchdowns. Um, all right, Travis Kelsey,

1135
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: all right, No surprise Jared Cook this year, not really

1136
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: a surprise. Uh, welcome back, Jack Doyle. Ed Dixon shows

1137
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:17,760
Speaker 1: up at number seven. UM. Dallas Goddard, who has started

1138
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: to get more work it's kind of a I mean,

1139
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 1: he's had what he's got three touchdowns this year. Um,

1140
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: it's just so hard to figure tight ends man Like.

1141
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:27,959
Speaker 1: I don't always say this every year, but it really

1142
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 1: is hard to figure out the tight end position. So

1143
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: it's been a mess. These are guys. So those guys

1144
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: stunk it up. Hopefully probably next week they don't. They

1145
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,439
Speaker 1: don't think it up quite so much, all right. Robin

1161
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,919
Speaker 1: waiver wire looks four week nine and we talked about

1162
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: tight ends and needing some of them. So the guy

1163
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: at the top of the list, Jack Doyle, he's he's back, right,

1164
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I mean Graham, the the Colts had

1165
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: three tight ends catch a touchdown on Sunday with you know,

1166
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron, not really a shock Jack Doyle and not

1167
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: really a big surprise. Mo Aali Cox comes out of

1168
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: nowhere and catches any types. That was a great was

1169
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 1: a great catch. We can't count on Moali Cox, right,

1170
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: there's no way, Like I can't believe in this guy yet. Well,

1171
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that I took away from this game

1172
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 1: is Eric Ebron's usage. I mean Abron only played eighteen

1173
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,879
Speaker 1: percent of cold snaps eighteen percent, And now in three

1174
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: games where Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron have both been healthy,

1175
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: Ebron has been held below fifty of Colts snaps. Doyle's

1176
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: out targeted him twenty two to eleven. Um. Yeah, Jack

1177
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: Doyle is the tight end you one, and unless Ebron

1178
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: becomes a more staple piece of the offense, I know

1179
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: he's the move tight end there. He's gonna play some slide,

1180
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: he's gonna play out wide. He's not gonna block at all,

1181
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:24,399
Speaker 1: which inherently brings his snapshare down. Unless he at least

1182
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: gets into fifty range, there's no way you can keep

1183
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: him as anything more than like a high variance tight end.

1184
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: To keep in mind, though, they do have a by

1185
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: coming up, so if you do pick up Doyle, you

1186
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: can't use him until the following week. But certainly a

1187
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: guy you're gonna be picking up, no question about that.

1188
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: And Chris Herndon had another touchdown, he's got three. And Dixon,

1189
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: who m j D seems to love. I mean, so

1190
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: he had a decent game as well. So there's some

1191
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: other tight end options out there for you because a

1192
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: couple of wide receivers out there. DJ More, it looks

1193
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: like he's finally starting to get going. And this is

1194
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: a guy that a lot of people liked as a

1195
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: sleeper coming into the season. Took a few weeks, but

1196
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: it looks like DJ Moore starting to get loose a

1197
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: little bit. Uh. Anthony Alert, who has come back from

1198
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: from an injury and has played well and and started

1199
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: it looks like you're starting to have a bit of

1200
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: a rapport with Mitchell Trubisky, So that's the guy that

1201
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,399
Speaker 1: you might want to keep on on your list. Josh

1202
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: Adams is on this list. It's been hard enough trying

1203
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: to figure what's going on between Corey Clement and Windows Smallwood.

1204
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 1: I feel like adding one more running back to this

1205
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: mix is not helping anybody right now. No, and you know,

1206
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 1: Smallwood had that one big catch and run ended up

1207
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown, But this is not a backfield that

1208
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: has anyone you can trust unless they Wouldn't it be

1209
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: great if they traded for Levianbell. Oh, it would be

1210
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: so great. I mean it would be tremendous. But um,

1211
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's gonna happen. So right now,

1212
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, Eagles on a bi coming up, you don't

1213
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: have to worry about it. But that backfield is really

1214
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: hard to decipher, especially if you're gonna throw Josh Adams

1215
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 1: into that mix. And apparently he is in that mix.

1216
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: So it's a three headed monster with three guys you

1217
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: can't trust. That's pretty not fantastic. So, uh, it's the

1218
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,959
Speaker 1: other names. Tyrelle Williams, who's played well recently um Josh

1219
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:04,479
Speaker 1: Riddolds mentioned, but he's really kind of only an option

1220
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: as long as Cooper Cup is. Once Cooper Cup comes back,

1221
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds his value pretty much goes down. And then

1222
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,919
Speaker 1: the Raidos running backs Jayalen Richard, Doug Martin, Doug Martin,

1223
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: who played pretty well on Sunday, at least in the

1224
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,439
Speaker 1: first half, and then the second half it turned into

1225
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: what we thought Raiders trailing having to throw the ball,

1226
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: and then it turned into the Jayalen Richard game. And

1227
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: then don't forget about Tyrolle Williams, who you know, went

1228
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: ballistic the two games that were l A had thereby

1229
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: and he didn't get picked up in a lot of leagues.

1230
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: Why because people couldn't use them. So that's certainly one thing.

1231
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: And again I've said this before on on previous podcast,

1232
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: based on the way NFL dot COM's product worked, Williams

1233
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: was on a by last week. You can pick him

1234
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: up right now and you don't have to worry about

1235
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: the waivers process if you drop a player who was

1236
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: on your bench this week. So any one of the

1237
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: guys who played for the teams that run a by,

1238
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: you know Tennessee, Uh Cowboys, the Chargers. Uh, you can

1239
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: go out and actually in the Atlanta to you can

1240
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: go out and pick those guys up. Now if you

1241
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: drop a player, you didn't start this week, So go
