1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Most valuable commandity.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 2: I know of his information.

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you agree?

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 2: I had five dollars?

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: This is a ratal up happy table ship. You're saying

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: that humans need fantasy to make life bearable. Humans need

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: fantasy to be human. My goodness that we speak prone, bets, relentless,

8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: refusing to give up.

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: All right, hit that horn.

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: Very bless there, Hello, and welcome to the Fantasy Flex podcast,

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: presented by Christicks. I'm your host, Samantha Pravidi on today's

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: episode of twenty one questions. I am so happy to

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: be joined by the one and only Scottfish, who you

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: can find on Twitter at Scott Fish twenty four. Welcome

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: to the Fantasy Flex Scott, how was your week seven? Oh?

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 2: It was? It was about as it went as well

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: as you can imagine, giving all the byes and everything.

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: I'm made some mistakes. I had JJ Taylor in a

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: few lineups and took him out right before game time

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: those two touchdowns. Yeah, didn't see him coming.

21
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: I took Khalil Herbert out of lineups. So that's that's

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: where I am right now in life.

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: It was a tough matchup.

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Tough matchup. Damian Williams is coming back from the COVID list,

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, and at the very least it

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: was going to be a time share in a game

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: that I thought that they wouldn't run a lot in.

28
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, that's that's definitely a bummer to

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: have that on my bench. And I made just a

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: completely rookie mistake because on Sundays I work and I

31
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: was also like kind of packing at the same time,

32
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: totally forgot to take Darren Waller out of my lineup.

33
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: I know, that's my fault whatever. It's just frustrating, like

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: stuff like that that happens, like injuries that are up

35
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: in the air in the mornings when you're setting your

36
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: lineups and maybe you just like kind of forget to

37
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: go back and do it. I was just watching Red

38
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: Zone and like having a great time, and then.

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: I was like, crap, it happens to everyone. Like every

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: analyst in the industry has had something like that happen.

41
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: Every person that's played Fantasy has had that happen. Yeah's

42
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: the thing.

43
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it was a tough week for

44
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: everyone because of the byes, but of course, like that

45
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: affects everyone, though not some some of my teams. I

46
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: have literally no one or I'm just like I got

47
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: to get more bodies in the lineups exactly. Some of

48
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: the teams, I'm like, I'm missing like one guy. So

49
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: it just, you know, kind of just depends on the

50
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: week and who you ended up drafting.

51
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: So absolutely, like that's that was me too. JJ Taylor.

52
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: No one's starting him anywhere, but I had rosters so

53
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: hit that I was looking at guys like him. Other

54
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: roster's fine, Yep.

55
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I was just looking at my matchup in the

56
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: Scott Fish full and it's not looking great. I think

57
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: I need thirty points from uh Tyler Lockett tonight, so

58
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: uh hop fingers crossed right.

59
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I hope, I hope you get it, and I

60
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: hope it gets nothing my matchups.

61
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: You're saying, there's a chance I know a lot of

62
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: these Monday Night miracles and like I need negative fifty

63
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: points like Derrek Henry exactly. Yeah, I mean it's been

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: it's been an interesting year for sure. A lot of injuries,

65
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: a lot of just like unexpected things, a lot of

66
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: guys just like not showing up. So anyway, we'll just

67
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: hop right in question one sounds good. What year did

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: you start playing fantasy And did you win your first league?

69
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: I did in nineteen ninety two, and it was a

70
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: dynasty league. It's a long long time. I was only

71
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 2: like twelve or thirteen at the time. It's not like I'm,

72
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: you know, seventy or anything. But yeah, no, I started

73
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: playing ninety two. Uh the only my dad played this

74
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: fantasy basketball Big ten league where you would draft in

75
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: coming freshmen and you keep them throughout until they left college.

76
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: So that's how I knew how to play fantasy when

77
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: we started playing fantasy football. So I did win that year.

78
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: I won a lot of the years in the nineties

79
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: because I was hyper obsessed and the people playing with

80
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: me were they like, did okay? But I was. You know,

81
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: that's that's kind of how it goes with us, and

82
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: you know it's such a passion for us that we're

83
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: the most active person.

84
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: Are you still playing in that dynasty league? Is that?

85
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: Yep?

86
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

87
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: This is year thirty. Ye it's a keeper now we

88
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: moved it to a keeper from a dynasty, but it

89
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: is year thirty. We are in our thirtieth year right now.

90
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: That is incredible. I have a very weird path into football,

91
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: which to be clear, like who who, what's the normal

92
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: path into becoming an analyst? But still like I did

93
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: not grow up a sports fan. I did not. Well,

94
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean sort of, but not certainly not football. My

95
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: household has no affiliations with any teams, so I got

96
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: into it strictly through fantasy and no like rooting for teams,

97
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: And it certainly was very recent in comparison to everyone else.

98
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: So I really miss out on some of these like

99
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: cool stories when you're like, oh, I was twelve and

100
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: I got into fantasy football, and I was like, oh,

101
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: I was like twenty four.

102
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: We all have own paths for so many things in life.

103
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: Well, that is a really cool story and just so

104
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: cool that you're still playing in that league. What are

105
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: the best and worst parts about playing fantasy football for you?

106
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: Wow? The best parts just the camaraderie, the closeness with

107
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 2: my friends, like live drafts. When we have our live drafts,

108
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: it's the best. We spend the whole day just hanging

109
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: out seeing each other that you know friends for years.

110
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: It's the community for me, the fantacy football like the

111
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: best parts of the community, the interacting, the getting to

112
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: know tons of different people who have the same interests

113
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: as you. It's when I go to these conferences and

114
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: different analyst events or whatever, just meeting people that we

115
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: immediately have this friendship thing we can talk about because

116
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: we all have the same passion. Things I don't like. Honestly,

117
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: I don't know what I don't like, Maybe just that

118
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: it's a grind that you're never off it said twenty

119
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: four to seven. There's always something going on in the

120
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: NFL world.

121
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: Understand that. First, with the live drafts thing, very jealous.

122
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: I've never done like a traditional live drafts just because,

123
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: like what I said, and even like in the leagues

124
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: that I've been in, I kind of was we were

125
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: drafting in the same room, but we were on laptops

126
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: and not everyone was there, so that was kind of

127
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: like the only like live draft situation. The cool story

128
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: that came out of that was someone threw up the draft,

129
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: which I thought was funny. Anyway, Yeah, I definitely missed

130
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: out on that. I would say, like for me, the

131
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: worst part is just sometimes like the trolls and social

132
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: media and stuff, just being on like the side of

133
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: giving advice and certainly like you're held to such a

134
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: high standard. Someone came at me and said like, oh,

135
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything that you say seriously because of

136
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: your trash Alex Collins. Take a couple of weeks ago

137
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: when out like everyone was putting Alex Collins in their

138
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: lineups for the Thursday night game against the Rams, and

139
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: I didn't even say, hey, go out there and start him.

140
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: I said, I'm in the unfortunate situation where I have

141
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: to start him in, samajp Ryan And this is just

142
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: like funny because you obviously can't appease everyone, and it's

143
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: just it's a grind and I know, you know, the

144
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: feeling of like the trolls and the mocking and just

145
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: the toxicity of social media.

146
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they expect far too much for considering they're the

147
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 2: one that presses the button on the lineup and makes

148
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: the decision.

149
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: Right exactly. I can only give you the advice that

150
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: I you know, with the data that I have in

151
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: front of me. Hindsight's twenty twenty of course likes. It's

152
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: very tough, but it's also the best. So as you know, yes, okay, well,

153
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: jumping into actual football staff, We're going to kick it

154
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: off with this segment called the burn Book, which is

155
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: of course a mean Girl's reference. So, as fantasy managers,

156
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: it's so easy to have recency bias, especially if a

157
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: player has burned us, either due to injuries or a

158
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: bad week. So we are going to run through five players,

159
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: and I'd like you to briefly tell us how confident

160
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: you are and that player moving forward or they are

161
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: in your burn book. So the first player is Julio Jones.

162
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: He's back from this hamstring injury, but is he really

163
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: He's had one good game all year. He had one

164
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight yards in that game, but his

165
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: other finishes have been well outside of the fantasy relevant spectrum.

166
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: Are you putting Julio in your burn book?

167
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: I No, not yet. He's just too good after the catch.

168
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: We saw that on a couple of plays this this

169
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: last week. He can still make those sideline grabs. We

170
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: saw one of those this week. He's just too good.

171
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: I feel like once, I feel like a lot of

172
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: it stems from Tannehill is just having a really off year.

173
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: He's not as efficient as he's been in the last

174
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: couple of years. And if he starts to turn that around,

175
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna come with Julio and Julio just

176
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: hasn't been fully healthy yet. Yeah, I can't. I can't

177
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: put him there yet. There are other guys that I would,

178
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: but there's some there's concerns.

179
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm definitely concerned. I have him in one league, and

180
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: I think part of that is why I'm not ready

181
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: to move on from him, because I actually don't have

182
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: better options in that league. So I'm just rolling him

183
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: out every single week. And You're right, like the potential

184
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: is there, and he's just a guy that I am

185
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: just I found myself making excuses for all season, whether

186
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: it's Tannehill, whether it's the offensive line, whether it's just

187
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: that he's injured. So I'm really hoping that down the

188
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: stretch he'll get healthy and we'll kind of see this

189
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: offense go into full swing and really get its rhythm

190
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: and not just be three hundred carries for Derrick Henry

191
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: every game or something like that.

192
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: So, I mean that's part of the problem too with it,

193
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: Like the fifty sixty snaps a game for that offense

194
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: and thirty are Derrick Henry, Like, it's not leaving a

195
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 2: lot of room for other people.

196
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely, do you have a lot of exposure to Derrick Henry.

197
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: I have an okay amount. Yeah, I have him in

198
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: a few leagues. I only play in about ten leagues

199
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: this year. That's set lineups, and I have him and

200
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: I think three or so nice that's enough.

201
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: I don't have of him in any leagues. And that

202
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: wasn't intentional. That was just I only do one salary

203
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: cap draft and he was kept in that league and

204
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: then the other ones. I just didn't have the pick

205
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: that like, mate, since at the time, like I either

206
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: had the one pick, which I had in Scott fish

207
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: Ball and then or I had like a back end

208
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: pick or something. So just anyway, I have the next

209
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: guy we're going to talk about. He's on this segment

210
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: every single week, and I mean I should just move

211
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: on from him. But it's Alan Robinson. I thought this

212
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: would be the game, Like all week I talked about

213
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: this is the game for Darnell Mooney, it's the game

214
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: for Alan Robinson, and of course it's the game for

215
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 1: Justin Fields because the Bucks secondary is trash and unfortunately

216
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson is wide wide receiver sixty and half PPR

217
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: this season. Maybe it's Fields, maybe it's Naggie, maybe it's

218
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: a rob not getting separation from defenders. But is a

219
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: Robin your burn Buck.

220
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he is. It's who would have thought

221
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: that Justin Fields and Matt and Aggy have completely made

222
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: him not a fantasy viable player. I just don't see

223
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: how this offense is going to turn around. Like I can.

224
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: I can. I can look at the Titans and say,

225
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry runs a little less going forward, Tannehill is

226
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: having a really off year. He just steps it up

227
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: a little, and you can raise Julio's bar. I just

228
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: I just don't see that. This Bears offense looks terrible.

229
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: It just looks really terrible right now, and I don't

230
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: I don't see much of a path for it to

231
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: get much better on it at the current moment.

232
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: It's tough because I spent the whole preseason draft season

233
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: talking about how I thought Justin Field should be the

234
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: number three overall pick, and how once he went there,

235
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: I was thinking, finally, Alan Robinson has a real quarterback, right,

236
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: and this will be like he's free from Mitch Trubisky

237
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: and Blake Bortles and all this trash quarterback play. And

238
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: of course it's like this is the guy that a

239
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: rob can't perform with.

240
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: He makes some really really nice throws I would have

241
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 2: I expected, like you did so much better. I dropped

242
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: him in so many leagues over the last couple of weeks,

243
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: and I feel bad because I feel like I sabotaged

244
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 2: the people who picked him up. They went and started

245
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: him this week.

246
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: That's funny. Yeah, I have a league. It's a very

247
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: deep league with like really deep benches, so there's no

248
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: one on waivers, like guys like Davis Mills are not

249
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: even available.

250
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: So so anyway, I drafted Russ and justin Fields, thinking

251
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: that that was a fire quarterback crew.

252
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: It's only a one quarterback league, so I was like,

253
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't have to start fields like yet, and of

254
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: course lost Russ and I am flailing in that league. Now.

255
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: I think I went four to oh and now I've

256
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: lost like the last three, so that is just absolutely brutal.

257
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: I have had to start Fields. I did pick up

258
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: case Keenum and didn't play him, and then obviously they

259
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: should have. But even then, like that's I think case

260
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: Keenum had like twelve points, so not a lot of

261
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: options if you're in these like really deep leagues, like

262
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: sometimes if you lose like a major player in a

263
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: league like that, like, it's really hard to overcome if

264
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: you can't make a trade. And in a lot of

265
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: like leagues like that, I just feel like people don't

266
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: want to trade. They always think that they're getting taken

267
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: advantage of or whatever, so it's very hard to make trades.

268
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that I don't know that I can.

269
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: Just stay afloat it works, Stay afloatsay, stay in the

270
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 2: thick of it until you can. Yeah, Russ comes back.

271
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: Or whatever pretty much. Yeah, all right, Well a Rob's

272
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: in our burn book. Next is Odell Beckham. He has

273
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: had a couple of decent games here and there, Like

274
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: he looks really good in his first game and I

275
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is like the vintage Odell. Nothing

276
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: stellar though he's currently wide receiver seventy seven through seven games,

277
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: so he missed a few games at the beginning. Is

278
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: that come droppable at this point? Is he in your

279
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: burn book? What are you doing with him right now?

280
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: I don't know that he's droppable. That's that's a step

281
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: too far or either that or I just play in

282
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: shallow or lead or deeper leagues, you know where it's

283
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: just it makes no sense to drop him. But he's

284
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: he's burnable for me. Like, maybe you make a good

285
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: point that maybe he's droppable, and that then I don't

286
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: have to make that decision weekly anymore and someone else

287
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: can have to deal with it. But he's he's right

288
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: above out. He's riding that Alan Robinson range where neither

289
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: of them seem to be the top target on their

290
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: team anymore. Yeah, Like it seems like Fields is preferring

291
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: Mooney and it seems like, uh, you know, once at

292
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: least the last couple of years, Baker preferred Landry And

293
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: that's so so much running game in that on that offense,

294
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: and Stefanski coming from Minnesota, he's very a run game guy. Yeah,

295
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: I have trouble starting in most weeks. He's pretty burnable

296
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: for me.

297
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: I feel the same way like you said, It's just

298
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: an offense that is too run heavy for me, and

299
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: just I mean the quarterback play hasn't necessarily been there

300
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: for him to be hit him to shine. And now

301
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: Jarvis is back, so I am not excited about starting

302
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: him in any that I have. Next up is Antonio Gibson.

303
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: Now this one is not totally fair, considering Gibson is

304
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: extremely banged of he's gotta fracture that he said, like

305
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: doesn't really bother him. But he out touched JD. Mchistic

306
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: this week, but mckissic.

307
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: Out scored him and oh snapped him too.

308
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, is Gibson outside of your top twenty four until

309
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: he gets healthy?

310
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: I don't think so because and this is purely because

311
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: I think the game script was much better to have

312
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: mckissic in this last week and this upcoming week. They

313
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: get a Denver team who allowed like sixty in a

314
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: touch to like uh like at least sixty in a

315
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: touchdown to the last four running backs they faced, a

316
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: couple of them over one hundred, like Najie Harris went

317
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: over one hundred and yeah, it's this is and Darns

318
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: Johnson went over one hundred and a touchdown. It's it's

319
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: a it's a beatable defense he's got this week, and

320
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: then he gets the BUYE so I would have him

321
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: in my top twenty four this week. Then he gets

322
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: a buy and hopefully he's healed up by then, and

323
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: then we got the rest of the schedule. So I

324
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: still think he's going to be in my top twenty four. Like,

325
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: running backs are so thin, right, now, it's hard not

326
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: to make the top twenty four understood.

327
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there it's just warm bodies at this

328
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: point that you're putting in your rankings. Like it's like

329
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, well, he's not a top he's not

330
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: an RB two, And then you think about it, like

331
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: name twenty three running backs that are better than him

332
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: right now, and you're like, I can't. There's obviously been

333
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: so many injuries and with him, it's frustrating because the

334
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: first game when it was revealed that he was like

335
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: dealing with the injury, he had twenty carries in that team,

336
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: and I guess I was just like, oh, well, like

337
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: he's fine. I guess he's playing through it. Just a

338
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: flesh wound, right, But apparently it is definitely really bothering him.

339
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: So hopefully, like you said, he's able to sort of

340
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: heal up through the by and you know, reagain his

341
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: spot as the top running back on that.

342
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 2: They did give him a couple of carries inside the

343
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: five this last week, Like if he hits on one

344
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: of those, maybe we're not having this conversation.

345
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: You know, totally, I agree.

346
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: After the bye he does get the Bucks and Panthers though,

347
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: that's a little rough, but yeah, no, he's he's definitely

348
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 2: a top twenty guy.

349
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: Still for me, speaking the Panthers, okay, that is my team,

350
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: and oh my goodness, I thought that game was going

351
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: to end five three, by the way for what And

352
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: I just I was watching Red Zone obviously, and I

353
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 1: was like, I haven't seen the Panthers on you in

354
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: a while. It's just embarrassing. I don't know what's going on.

355
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: If they just like can't they don't have their groove

356
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: without CMC, if it's Sam Donald, if it's the coaching staff,

357
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: but they looked so lost yesterday and it was just painful.

358
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: Like I saw Sam Darnald throw it like the one

359
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: time that they switched to red Zone. I was like, oh,

360
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: they're on and then he like chucks it up in

361
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: the air and like the moment the ball leaves is

362
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, it's going to get intercepted, and

363
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: it gets intercepted and it was just like right to

364
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 1: James Bradberry and it was just like just so painful

365
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: because he's obviously a former Panther too. So yeah, anyway,

366
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: that we were definitely a very fraudulent three n OO team.

367
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: Let's just leave it at that, all right. The final

368
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: guy we're going to talk about is Mike Davis. He

369
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: is RB forty and half kepr after a one point

370
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: game in Week seven, largely even a disappointment for fantasy.

371
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: He is a guy. I will say that I ended

372
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: up with a couple shares of him only because he

373
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: was dropping so so far in draft. Now, obviously he's

374
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: like confirmation biased. He didn't deserve to be drafted there,

375
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 1: but like I thought he was good value because everyone

376
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: was kind of down on him, and I thought it

377
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: had gone like too far in one direction. Whatever it stinks.

378
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: I was kind of wrong about this Falcons offense in general.

379
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: He's kind of in my burn book? Does he believe

380
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: in our burn books?

381
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: Let's say you I say that we're seven weeks late

382
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: to that party. I did not draft him in a

383
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,479
Speaker 2: single league or a single bestball league, like I just

384
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: I was never a believer. I think that the only

385
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 2: case that was being made for him was he's the

386
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: only guy and he's going to get volume. And that's

387
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 2: generally not something like I want to go for the

388
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 2: talented guy, and it's just not something that I felt

389
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: like they could just go away from the run a lot,

390
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 2: or it'd become a platoon. Or watching Mike Davis for

391
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: the Panthers last year, you saw he started out really hot,

392
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 2: but then like his efficiency started going down. He didn't

393
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 2: look as good as the games went on, and I

394
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: just couldn't imagine that for a fall season. Obviously, I

395
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: didn't predict this. Cord Aerial Patterson thanking.

396
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: I did not have a Bingo card for this season.

397
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: I had a couple of late late shots at him,

398
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 2: like him in a couple of leagues just from late

399
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: end of draft. Oh wow, they're really paying off. But

400
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: I did not see this coming at all.

401
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: Does that hurt you as a Vikings fan with a

402
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: year nine?

403
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: It does? It does, no, it really does. It's it's

404
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: something that a lot of Vikings fans have talked about

405
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: that we just never utilized him right, and it makes

406
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 2: it I guess it makes me feel better that like

407
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: even New England like started the path of utilizing him

408
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 2: a little bit better and stuff. But like, I feel

409
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: like this was always in the cards for him, and

410
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: just nobody figured out how to use him until now.

411
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: It's it's frustrating to see.

412
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: That's fair. I think obviously the talent was there. I'm

413
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: surprised that it's Arthur Smith that figured out how to

414
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: use him, just because we saw him like run it

415
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: up the mill eight hundred times a game with Derek

416
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: Henry strike me as the most like innovative coach, and

417
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: it just you know, I mean, it's cool to see though,

418
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: Like it's absolutely a really really cool story and cool

419
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: for fantasy and exciting.

420
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: I'll make it. I'll make a slightly a slight sidetrack

421
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 2: on Arthur Smith. He was there so short, we don't know,

422
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: like maybe he's the kind of guy that realizes the

423
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: talent he has and he's like, this is what I

424
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: need to do with the talent I have. So like

425
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 2: that would be my argument that maybe Arthur Smith saw

426
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: what Derrick Henry did and he's like, this is what

427
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 2: we're going to do with Derrick Henry and what we

428
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 2: did with Ryan Tannehill. And when he moved to Atlanta,

429
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 2: he's like, I got these different pieces, how do I

430
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: make these work? And now we're seeing Patterson and Pitts

431
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: finally you know, start to make Hay after a few games,

432
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: you know, So yeah, I and you might be right,

433
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 2: that's what Arthur. Maybe he's uncreative and that's that's what

434
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: he was in Tennessee. But I think the other side

435
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: is maybe he just you know, sits and tries to

436
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: figure out how to utilize the pieces he has best.

437
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: And that's what good coaches do. Obviously, the personnel is

438
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: going to be different everywhere you go, and I think

439
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 1: that's what separates like the good coaches from the great coaches,

440
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: to figure out how to wield the weapons that you

441
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: have at your disposal, because a lot of that isn't

442
00:21:54,440 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: necessarily in your control. But yeah, Mike Davis Burne, which

443
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 1: should have happen seven weeks ago, I agree with you.

444
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed, but that I'll take the L four Now.

445
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 2: He's sabotage drop worthy, Like I feel like you can

446
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: drop him. Someone's going to pick him up and try

447
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: to start him and it's not going to end well

448
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 2: for that, you know, Like he's it's fairy. Yeah, actually

449
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: is droppable.

450
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: Yeah he is poisonous. I don't need him on in

451
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: my life right now. Next up here in the Fantasy

452
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: Flex is our Elite Entry segment, where I Am going

453
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 1: to dive into the prize stick STAPs to build some entries.

454
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to identify some markets. I like, you build

455
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: your own priskits entries and all of us have a

456
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: little fun and make some money. So today I'm going

457
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: to look at four a week eight quarterback plays on

458
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: prize Picks. The first play that I like is Daniel

459
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: Jones over two hundred and sixty and a half passing

460
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: yards on the road in Kansas City. Jones had a

461
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: fairly lackluster name against the Panthers with just two hundred

462
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: and three passing yards and one touchdown. They obviously did

463
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: pick up the win, and I think he does bounce

464
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: back in a big way against the Chiefs, who seem

465
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: to not be able to guard against anything. They have

466
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: one of the worst defends right now. Last week, Ryan Tannehill,

467
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: who had been QB nineteen through six weeks, still passed

468
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: for two hundred and seventy yards with some miscues. The

469
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: Giants can't lean on the run of like the Titans Cannon.

470
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: If the team gets at least one of their receivers

471
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: back in Kenny Holliday, Sterling Shepherd, Kadarius Tony, I think

472
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: this definitely smashes the over in what could be a

473
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: Bananza game. The next play that I like is Matt

474
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: Jones under two hundred and fifty five and a half

475
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: passing yards on the road against the Chargers. So Jones

476
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: is coming off of his best game to date where

477
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: he did surpass three hundred yards for the first time

478
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: this year. Obviously, that under did not hit, but I'm

479
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: going to go under once again because I think it's

480
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: unlikely that the Patriots scored fifty two points in the

481
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: game again this year, and when they did, it's not

482
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: like Jones blew the doors off. He completed twenty four

483
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: or thirty six for three hundred and seven yards, two

484
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: touchdowns and zero interceptions, but tasks in the fact that

485
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: the Chargers are going to be well rested coming off

486
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: of their Week seven by and are allowing to be

487
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: four fewest pass yards in the NFL. It's definitely an

488
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: under for me. Another one that I like is to

489
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: a tongue of by Loa under two hundred and thirty

490
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: and a half passing yards on the road in Buffalo,

491
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: who have missed most of their first meeting after suffering

492
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: a hip injury in Week two. He had four attempts

493
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: in that game, so certainly can't go off that, and

494
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: he's done pretty well for himself over the last two

495
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: weeks since coming back from the injury. That said, he

496
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: has played Jacksonville in Atlanta, two of the worst pass

497
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: defenses in the NFL. He has an opponent on the

498
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 1: other side of the spectrum this week in the Bills,

499
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: who are giving up an nflow one hundred and eighty

500
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: point five passing yards per game this year. I could

501
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: definitely see him struggling on the road in Buffalo. The

502
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: last one that I like is Kirk Cousins over two

503
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: hundred eighty nine and a half passing yards at home

504
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: versus the Cowboys. As good as the secondary has been,

505
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: he's done a lot of pr It's really the true

506
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: mom By show, and this team has allowed the fifth

507
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: most passing yards this year. I meanwhile, Cousins has also

508
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: been playing phenomenal football. I think credit where credit is due.

509
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: He's just a guy that is underrated, averaging two hundred

510
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,239
Speaker 1: ninety five passing yards per game. He's also coming off

511
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: of a very strong outing against a better defense in Carolina.

512
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: I think this game is going to be very high

513
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: scoring and Cousins will crush the over all, Right, so

514
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: that is our only entry today, going with Daniel Jones

515
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: over two hundred and sixteen and a half passing yards

516
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: on the road in Kansas City, Matt Jones under two

517
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: hundred fifty five and a half passing yards on the

518
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: road against the Chargers to a tongueo by Low under

519
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: two hundred thirty and a half passing years on the

520
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: road in Buffalo, and Kirk Cousins over two hundred eighty

521
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: nine and a half passing yards at home versus the Cowboys.

Speaker 1: that will do it for the burn book. Our next

536
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: segment is called full send or that's cap, which is

537
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: sort of the opposite one full send. I'm not trying

538
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: to like explain this to you because I'm sure you

539
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking.

540
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: I'm Minnesota boy. We have in Minnesota snowmobiling. Okay, you

541
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 2: talk about us.

542
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an extreme sport thing. Like you go full send,

543
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: You're like, head first, I'm totally into it. And the

544
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: next cap means the episode, like it's that's not real,

545
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: it's a mirage or whatever. So I'm going to give

546
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: you five players whose values are on the rise, and

547
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: I want to know, are you sending it on this

548
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: player or is that cap? Wait? First side notes? Do

549
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: you snowmobile? And like are you a really like do

550
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: you do cool stuff?

551
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 2: I don't anymore. I don't do a lot of the

552
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: cool stuff. I probably when I was younger or whatever.

553
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: Now I'm more of a stay at home family guy.

554
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: We go on a lot of hikes because our backyard

555
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 2: is a regional park. Like, that's so cool hiking trails

556
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: and it's all wooded. That's our backyard as a trail

557
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 2: leading into all these trails and stuff. So I'm more

558
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: of that guy now.

559
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: I like that. That's really cool. I have never been

560
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: on a snowmobile as snow and mountainy as. I am

561
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: so hoping that is something that I get to try.

562
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: It looks so so cool, So I'm definitely very jealous.

563
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: All Right, the first player we're going to talk about

564
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: is Joe Burrow. I was super high on Burrow going

565
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: into this week, though even I did not expect to

566
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: see that performance. He completed twenty three of thirty eight

567
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: for four hundred and sixteen yards, three touchdowns in one interception.

568
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: I know we're going full send un Jamr Chase, like

569
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: he's absolutely a stud. He could be the one on

570
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: one in Dynasty. But are we going full send on

571
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow as a QB one rest of season?

572
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: I mean it's hard not to. He's got like I

573
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: think he's the only quarterback in the NFL with must

574
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 2: full touchdown passes in every single game at this point.

575
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 2: I love that. I'm pretty sure he is. I'm pretty

576
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: sure he was going into the week, and then he

577
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 2: threw three more. I am definitely false sand on him.

578
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: I just I don't see how you're not once he

579
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 2: gets a better like it seems like every once in

580
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: a while when he's targeting you know, other players like

581
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 2: Higgins and Boyd, like it's like, for some reason, the

582
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 2: connection isn't there, like it's there with Chase, which is

583
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: weird because he played with those two guys all of

584
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: last year. Right, people talk about he played with Chase

585
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 2: in college. Well, he played with Higgins and Boyd last

586
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: year too. There should be a connection there. But uh no.

587
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: The offense just has too many good pieces. The defense

588
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: is good enough to get them the ball a decent amount.

589
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,959
Speaker 2: The only problem I do have is they play one

590
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: of the slowest paces in the NFL, and you think

591
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: that that might cap them at some point, but it

592
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 2: hasn't yet. So I'm i'm I'm in on Joe Burrow.

593
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: I love that this Bengals team has been one of

594
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: the best. I think surprise is not necessarily. I think

595
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: we knew they were going to be better if Joe

596
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: Burrow was healthy and then plus Jamar Chase. But you know,

597
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: they got a lot of flak for obviously not taking

598
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: Penney Seewell and just like I don't think that people

599
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: necessarily thought of them as a contender, and now they're

600
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: out there beating the Ravens and it's incredible to watch.

601
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: They are really really good, and like you said, they

602
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: are pretty well rounded. I think the defense has been

603
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: a really good surprise in terms of like, I don't

604
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: think I thought that they were they were going to

605
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: have a great defense this year. So certainly I am

606
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: going full send on Joe Burrow. I have been a

607
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: fan of his for a while, so I'm excited to

608
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: see him. The next guy we're and talk about is

609
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: Kenny Gaatewell found the end zone for the third time

610
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: this year and had the most running back touches. That

611
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: was partially due to Miles Sanders getting banged up in

612
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: the game. They said that he didn't break any bones,

613
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: but there's a good chance that he will miss time.

614
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: Are we and full send on game well as a

615
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: viable flex play and if Sanders miss his time, maybe

616
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: like an RB.

617
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 2: Two that's what it is. It's it feels more like

618
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: a half send to me, like it feels like a

619
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: full send for the next week or two. But I

620
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: feel like it's I feel like it's still much more

621
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 2: Sanders job. He was getting seventy eighty percent of the

622
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: snap percent snaps played the last two weeks before the injury,

623
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: and it seemed like they were starting out that way

624
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: in this one. I think, I think he's gonna be

625
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: a great option for the next couple of weeks. Like,

626
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: they clearly trust him, they clearly like him in the

627
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: in the past game, they're targeting him almost four targets

628
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: a game, something like that, and that that was as

629
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 2: a backup to Miles Sanders. He was, he was getting that.

630
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: So for the next couple of weeks, sure, sure, as

631
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: long as long as Miles Sanders is out. It's it's

632
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 2: kind of a half answer, But I mean he's he

633
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: gets the Raiders, he gets the Chargers, gets the Lions,

634
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: he gets the Broncos. I might have gotten the order

635
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 2: of those wrong, but those like those are very b

636
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 2: doable run defenses. So definitely false in for the next

637
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: few weeks at least.

638
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited about him. He's the guy that I've

639
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: been pumping up for a while. I took him in

640
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: a keeper league and I was like kind of hoping

641
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: that there would be some value there, maybe not necessarily

642
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: but I think right now for bye week fill ins

643
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: and like you said, for the next couple of weeks,

644
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: he could definitely be a viable play. So I'm definitely

645
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: excited about that. Miles Sanders is frustrating. He's like, he's

646
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,239
Speaker 1: like borderline in my burn book, and I didn't want

647
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: to put him in that segment because he's hurt and

648
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: that's kind of made me like not necessarily his fault,

649
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: and now he's he had an off game, but still

650
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: he is. He's like burden Book of Jason.

651
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: What's really annoying is like he was a by candidate

652
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 2: for me, like I was. I was all in on

653
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: the next you know, with that schedule the next few

654
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: weeks of Miles Sanders and now the injury, like yeah,

655
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 2: it's either either he's not performing or now he's injured,

656
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 2: Like it's it's something.

657
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, super frustrating case with him. He's the guy that

658
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: I definitely avoided in drafts, and I'm kind of happy

659
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: about that just because I think it's probably a headache,

660
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: kind of like a Mike Davis headache. So win some loose.

661
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: The next cover to talk about is Khalil Herbert and

662
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: I already talked about him, how he sat on my

663
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: bench and posted a one hundred yard game in a

664
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: brutal Week seven matchup against the Buccaneers, while Damian Williams

665
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: was fairly featured. I feel like he had like a

666
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: couple carriers or something. I don't know the stat line,

667
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: but are we going full send on Herbert until Montgomery

668
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: gets back?

669
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: It's hard not to what he did with the Bucks.

670
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: I mean until Montgomery. This is the same as gain

671
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 2: will It's until Montgomery gets back, because then I think

672
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 2: it's a time share. I feel like he's earned his

673
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: way into ten plus catch it a ten plus touches

674
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: a game when Montgomery gets back, and I wouldn't be

675
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: surprised if they're both like just completely splitting time. And honestly,

676
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: it's it's almost to the point where I feel like

677
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: it made Montgomery expendable once once he's done with once

678
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: his contracts up with the Bears, I'm full sent for

679
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 2: the next weeks. Yeah.

680
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's one of those things that it

681
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: was almost like last week with Darryl Williams, that not

682
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: necessarily like that I'm full send on him, but that

683
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: it's enough to worry me if I am the manager

684
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: for a cech or and then this case, if I

685
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: have David Montgomery, that this is me maybe the bigger

686
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: takeaway that they may be in some kind of time

687
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: show when they get back, and that is obviously the

688
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: worst thing for fantasy football and running backs. So h yeah,

689
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: I will definitely be playing him next week in the

690
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: leagues that I still have him, and yeah, I'll just

691
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: whip myself for the rest of it. But yeah, the

692
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: next year we're to talk about is Michael Pittman junior.

693
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: He's had a couple of strong games this year. Coming

694
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: off of a one hundred yard game with a touchdown,

695
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: was out targeted by Zach Pascal and this was without

696
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: uy Hilton. Are you going full send on Pittman as

697
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: the undisputed wide receiver one in this offense and a

698
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: viable fantasy asset? Or is trusting a Wentz wielded wide

699
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: out cap.

700
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: You know, I felt better about Pittman earlier in the

701
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 2: season when he was averaging like eight to ten targets

702
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: a game. The last few have been like three targets,

703
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 2: four targets. He's making something work with them. But oh man,

704
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 2: I it got his It's right in the middle. I

705
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 2: think he's the wide receiver one, and I think he's

706
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: good as long as he gets targeted. I can't. I

707
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: guess I can't. It's one of those I can't go

708
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 2: full send, but I don't. I don't think it's cap either.

709
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: I think it's legit. I think he's a legit good

710
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 2: wide receiver.

711
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just gonna say, I think it's the

712
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: What I'm full sent on is his talent, which I

713
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: was full sent on last year or too, and obviously

714
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: he got banged up and whatnot. But what's cap is

715
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: I think the volume in this offense is Yeah, just

716
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: isn't there for me to really trust him? Like same

717
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: thing with like I mean, like Moeli Cox, who is

718
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: a guy that a lot of people probably added for

719
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: for bye weeks or whatever injury fill ins, and he

720
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: did well, but it's like on very few targets, And yeah,

721
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: they're making it work with no targets, but that's just

722
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: not necessarily sustainable long term.

723
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I yeah, that's a perfect way to put it all.

724
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: Right onto Our final player is a guy that's very

725
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: close to my heart, a guy that I would say

726
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: that I took a lot of flak four taking him

727
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: at four oh one in the scott Fish Bowl. It

728
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: is Kyle Pitts. But it is finally pit season and

729
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: I am here for it. After a fairly slow start,

730
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: he's crushed one hundred yards in each of his last

731
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: two games. My only potential concern is Russell Gage and

732
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley now both being healthy and potentially siphoning targets

733
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: away from him. But are we going full send on Pits?

734
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 1: Like this is the guy that we were hoping to see,

735
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: this is the guy that deserved to be drafted, is

736
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: to you know, tight end four or whatever? Are we

737
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: going full send on him?

738
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 2: One hundred percent? It's it's not even it's not even

739
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: debatable at this point for me, He's I had moved.

740
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 2: I had him at a tight end five for the

741
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 2: longest time this offseason. I feel like I feel like

742
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 2: a lot of that was just he's a rookie. There's

743
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: lots of things to it. And I moved him up

744
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 2: to tight end three ahead of Kittle. I just felt

745
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 2: it was two many miles to feed in in San

746
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 2: Francisco and they run just too much. I didn't think

747
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 2: the volume would be there right before the season, and

748
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: I was very vocal about stop making historical tight end

749
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 2: arguments about him. Yes, just like he doesn't fit in

750
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 2: with guys that were drafted fourteen years ago, the landscape

751
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 2: has completely changed. He plays out wide like seventy plus

752
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 2: percent of the time. He's he's not a traditional tight end.

753
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: You just stop making those arguments. I felt it was

754
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 2: a little bit lazy. Honestly, I felt that was a

755
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: lazy argument. You want to tell me you don't believe

756
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: Arthur Smith, Arthur Smith's offense is going to feed him,

757
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: or or there's too much with Ridley and there's not

758
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: gonna be enough to make those arguments. Don't make the

759
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 2: historical tight end argument. That's stuff from fifteen year old

760
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: years ago. It doesn't matter to me. But that said,

761
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: he's on pace to break all those records now, and

762
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: that's what that's what it is. I think they've finally

763
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 2: realized how to make him a focal point in the

764
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 2: in the in the offense. They've got his little four

765
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 2: game window that Justin Jefferson had that a lot of

766
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 2: wide receivers come in the league and they need a

767
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 2: few games to get behind them and then they're good

768
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: to go. I think he's good to go for the

769
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 2: rest of the season, and he's going to shatter some

770
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 2: of those tight end records.

771
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: I love to hear that because for a number of reasons. First,

772
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: the early part of the season, like you said, I mean,

773
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: there is an adjustment period for guys like that, and

774
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: people were so quick to write him off. They were like,

775
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: he's going to be the biggest bust. And look at this, like,

776
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: I can't believe that you drafted a tile like a

777
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: first year tight end and expected anything out of it. Now.

778
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: I was all over the Kyle Pitts trade all preseason.

779
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: I like even read an article about like like a

780
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: debate type article with someone at Action, like a playful one,

781
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: just you know. And one of the major things was

782
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: his body size and his athleticism and all those things

783
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: compared so closely to Travis Kelsey, and Kelsey missed his

784
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: first year mostly due to injury, and then his actual

785
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: first full season, he was phenomenal, And I was like,

786
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: this is the analog you guys are comparing something that's

787
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: just like a role that's not necessarily the one he's

788
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: going to play. All his sort of criticism coming out

789
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: of college was that he wasn't good at blocking and

790
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: all that, and I was like, if they use him

791
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: as a blocker, that is criminal. They're not going to

792
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: take him that early and use him as a blocker

793
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: and not use him as an outside receiver. And he's

794
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: just like a big dude. And I'm just so excited

795
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: to see him blossom right now.

796
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a wonderful thing to watch. And there were

797
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: so many people vocal those first couple of weeks about Oh,

798
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 2: what's what's your unicorn now? And I've restrained talking to

799
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 2: Edny about it because I don't want a victory lap

800
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: on him, but I just it's this is what he's

801
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: going to be. He's going to be. He's going to

802
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: have down weeks. He'll have some down weeks.

803
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: They all do.

804
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: Hawkinson does, Waller does. I mean Kelsey a few weeks

805
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: ago against the Eagles went four catches for twenty three

806
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: yards when they had sleigh cover and most of the game.

807
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 2: He's going to have down games. He'll have more down

808
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 2: games this year, but he's going to be more up

809
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 2: in that one, two three tight end upper echelon for

810
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 2: the rest of hopefully his career. But I like him

811
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: a lot this year.

812
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: Love to see it. Yeah, By the way, people that

813
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 1: are taking victory laps on a guy not performing two

814
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 1: weeks into his naval career need to just go away.

815
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: Victory labs in general, they're like like the really grandiose ones,

816
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: especially like like the ones that are like you drafted

817
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts earlier, it couldn't be me, and like, I

818
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: hate that raise. That drives me nuts. Just a lot

819
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: of dunking on people. I think there's a way to

820
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: talk about things and make it a discussion, and that's

821
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: not one of them. That's not a productive in any ways. Me.

822
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: All right, Scott, we have eight more rapid fire questions

823
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: and I will get you back to your construction everything

824
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: going on in your life. Question thirteen is name one

825
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: player you just can't quit or you always find yourself

826
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: making excuses for. So for me, that is Joe Mixon.

827
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon the football player, not the human necessarily.

828
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 2: Oh boy, one player that I just can't quit always

829
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 2: make excuses for. Oh man, this is a tough one.

830
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: You always told me his was Julio.

831
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like always in my leagues, real quick to

832
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 2: see if there's one that they're released, and it's usually

833
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: like a deeper player, like I'm the guy that is

834
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 2: always rostering, like super deep tight ends like your Donald

835
00:40:55,320 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: Parham's and your guys like that and Tanian before he explodes.

836
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 2: But I'm trying to think of someone that I that's

837
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: that's that I just can't quit. They should be rapid fire, right,

838
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 2: And I'm doing a terrible job at the rabbid fire

839
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 2: part of take your.

840
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: Own pace with this one. It's it's a weird it's

841
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: definitely a weird question. It's just like it's a guy that,

842
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 1: like I make tiktoks about how totally blind I am

843
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: about like just he's obviously underperformed in almost every season

844
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: that we've seen him, but this season I was like,

845
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: it's okay, this is the year, this is mixing season.

846
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean he's had a number of good games.

847
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 1: So I'm not victory laughing necessarily, but I'm not quitting

848
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: him yet.

849
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 2: Well, I guess if it's going to be someone that's

850
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 2: that's down right now, I was going to say, you know,

851
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 2: I love I just can't ever seem to quit Cortland

852
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: Sutton because when he's when he's on, he's on, and

853
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 2: he's he's just not. You know, he's been okay this year,

854
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: but I was gonna go a little deeper, and I

855
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 2: was gonna say Gabriel Davis, I just Prestin william I

856
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: love those guys talent, and they just can't seem to

857
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 2: find a spot. And also their teams keep bringing in

858
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: wide receivers to play over them. So if it's going

859
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: to be someone deeper, it's got to be Gabriel Davis

860
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 2: or Preston Williams or guys like that that I just

861
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 2: I just love their potential and they just they just

862
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: can't get on the field.

863
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: I totally agree. Davis was a guy that I was

864
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: pumping up as a sleeper. He was like up there

865
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: with like darn Old Mooney, also guy that on raw,

866
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: same Brown also that I was. Yeah, he was a

867
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: guy that I had on so many rosters and I

868
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: did drop obviously, but I kept I have on to

869
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: him like way too long. And then I was like, oh, well,

870
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: maybe it's on ross season since Quintes Cephas went down,

871
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: and it seems like it's Khalif Raymonds, and actually.

872
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,959
Speaker 2: Yeah it's those two. I'm never gonna I always picked

873
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: the wrong I have them both on one roster and

874
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 2: I always picked the wrong one to start, and I

875
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 2: feel like that's that's going to be the whole season.

876
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely frustrating with the Gabriel Davis situation, just because,

877
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: like the logic is there, you want exposure to this

878
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: high scoring Bills offense and he has the talent. But yeah,

879
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: there is a lot of competition, especially with Dawson Knox

880
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: breaking out. That's like another mouth that they kind of

881
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: need to feed.

882
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 2: And thirty five year old Emmanuel Sanders looking he's twenty

883
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: five for some reason.

884
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's actually he's young nominally, so for sure, all right,

885
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: predict when the Vikings will win their next Super Bowl?

886
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 2: So so win? Wow? Probably never.

887
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: That is a reaction that I have never gotten. So

888
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm really living for this go on.

889
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 2: Sorry never, Like I just turned forty two years old

890
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 2: last week and the Vikings have not been to a

891
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 2: Super Bowl in my lifetime. We've been to a few

892
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 2: NFC Championships games. We've blown out in a couple of them,

893
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 2: you know, cheated out of the Saints one with the

894
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 2: bounty gate and the and the BS call. There's just

895
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 2: like our kicking is it always screws us, Like there's

896
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: there's yeah, the Gary Anderson kick in ninety eight, Like,

897
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 2: I just don't think it's gonna happen in my lifetime.

898
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 2: I just don't think it's ever gonna happen. But I'm

899
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 2: going to enjoy the ride.

900
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: Totally understood. I mean, you have a lot of good

901
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: pieces right now, but it takes obviously an extraordinary team

902
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: to get there. So it's funny because I've had a

903
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: lot of Bears fans on this podcast for whatever reason,

904
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: Like I had Adam Rank, I had my friend Jeremy

905
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 1: Layton and yesterday. Oh Andy Barrett's was on last week,

906
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 1: and he's obviously a huge Bears fan, and the range

907
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 1: of answers is out there. But I feel like someone said,

908
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: like in two years, so yeah, so they're they're obviously

909
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: fulling on field. It just very much enjoyed that reaction.

910
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: So I feel the same way about my Panthers. I

911
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: think when I became a it was the year that

912
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: the Panthers were really good, and I think that's the

913
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: best I'm going to see for a really long time.

914
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: So unfortunate, but we you know, such as football, give

915
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: us one Vikings player who you think is underrated.

916
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 2: For fantasy probably Tyler Conkland if it has to be,

917
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 2: because Jefferson and Thelen and Cousins is always underrated, though,

918
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 2: Like it feels like Cousins is constantly putting up at

919
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: least yeah, most weeks, it feels like he's putting up

920
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 2: top twelve type of numbers. I think he had it

921
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 2: last season as a top thirteen guy. He's put up

922
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 2: a really it's probably it's probably truthfully, Cousins. It feels

923
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: like he's every year. People just don't seem to like him,

924
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 2: but he puts up so many really really good fantasy performances.

925
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 2: I would want to say Conklin because I feel like

926
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 2: he's better than people think, but it's got to be Cousins.

927
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on kJ Osborne.

928
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 2: I think he's good. I think he's really good. He

929
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 2: makes some really really good highlight level like sideline, plays

930
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,720
Speaker 2: good catches. There's a reason he flat out beat everyone

931
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 2: out for that third wide receiver role, and he's on

932
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 2: the field, you know, sixty seventy percent of the snaps

933
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 2: because he is very clearly you could make an argument

934
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,479
Speaker 2: he's the best third receiver we've had for the better

935
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 2: part of a decade, maybe more, you know, maybe maybe

936
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,439
Speaker 2: almost two decades, maybe back to the Moss Carter Jake

937
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 2: Reed days. Like it's been a while since we had

938
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 2: a number three that looks as good as he does

939
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 2: on the field. But he's going to be inconsistent this offense.

940
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 2: It's it's tough for us to support three wide receivers, understood.

941
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a little salty about him obviously since he

942
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: made the game winning catch after against my Carolina Panthers,

943
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 1: But I do have him in a couple of leagues,

944
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: so kind of hanging on to him seeing if he

945
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: has a little bit of a breakout season down the

946
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: stretch less Chris.

947
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 2: Spotts, he plays the Cowboys next their next game, that's

948
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: that's a good defense for him to match up.

949
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, because like tray Von Diggs, I was like, he'll

950
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: be obviously very occupied with the other receivers, and I

951
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: feel like their other corner are just not there. So

952
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 1: I think that would be maybe a good game for

953
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: him or maybe even feeling was Joe Flacco ever elite

954
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: yes or no?

955
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 2: Three games maybe four games like that run, and you

956
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 2: could you could make arguments about that run as well,

957
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 2: but he really bet on himself there, but not outside

958
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 2: of that, like he was a he was a good,

959
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 2: you know, starting quarterback that was good enough to be

960
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:27,959
Speaker 2: a starting quarterback in the league.

961
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: Round fair enough. I think most people have said like

962
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: something like your answer. I think most people will given

963
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: like a six game stretch he was league, So I

964
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: pretty much agree with you there. How many Vikings players

965
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: will finish at the top five in their respective positions

966
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: for fantasy this year?

967
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 2: Yes, top five at their position. If it's points per game,

968
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 2: maybe two. Delvin Cook would have a really good shot,

969
00:47:54,880 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 2: and I think Justin Jefferson could get there. Yeah, in

970
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 2: points per game, I think you could make a really

971
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 2: good case for two of them. But I think Cook

972
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 2: just keeps me the same time, So I don't I

973
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 2: don't know that that's going to happen.

974
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm definitely hoping that he gets healthy, though I

975
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: have Madison on a lot of rosters and I don't

976
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: have Cook. He's just a guy that I targeted. Who

977
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: should manager's top waiver ad be this week?

978
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 2: Oh? Wow, I have not. I have not dug into

979
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 2: that at all. I think I think we just mentioned one.

980
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 2: I think Raymond is just getting way too many targets

981
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 2: to ignore at this point, and they're going to be

982
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 2: a negative game scripts all the time. So he's got

983
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 2: to be He's got to be right up there. I

984
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 2: feel like the other guys that we would mention, like

985
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 2: Herbert's picked up everywhere, Denis Johnson was picked up everywhere

986
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 2: before that game. I mean, I think you're gonna have

987
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 2: to go pretty deep to find someone else.

988
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 1: Fair enough. Yeah, Kenny Gamewell could be an interesting ad.

989
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 3: I don't.

990
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: I think it's probably under fifty percent roster like right

991
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,919
Speaker 1: around there, so certainly could be an interesting add If

992
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 1: we say seven Miles Sanders missus time.

993
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a really good one. He was thirty

994
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 2: one percent last Tuesday, Okay when I looked into that

995
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 2: last Tuesday.

996
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: So okay, Yeah, so I think he'll he'll he'll be

997
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 1: a decent one. But yeah, Khalif Raymond definitely a guy

998
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: that I have my eye on and a lot of

999
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 1: leagues where I am.

1000
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 2: My problem is I'm constantly looking at a deeper, like

1001
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: way too deep. He's like three percent or five percent

1002
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 2: rostered fair enough.

1003
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: Well, you know a lot of people play in deep

1004
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: leagues and we need those guys give me one player

1005
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: who you think is primed for a big fantasy season

1006
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 1: next year.

1007
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: Ooh, big fantasy season next year. I think I'm gonna

1008
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 2: go with a guy that it should have been this year,

1009
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 2: but I think it happens next year now in Jerry Judy.

1010
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 2: I feel like they maybe address their quarterback situation a

1011
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 2: little bit better, and he's got a full, healthy season

1012
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 2: ahead of him. I think next year might end up

1013
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 2: beating his breakout. He'll he'll be okay the rest of

1014
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 2: this year, but he'll be coming off injury. So I'll

1015
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 2: just say Judy for next year.

1016
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: I guess my pick for that would probably be the

1017
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: same team, and it's going to be Javonte Williams.

1018
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's He's.

1019
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: Like my breakout guy. I always knew it was not

1020
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: going to be this year, and everyone's like, oh no,

1021
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: this is the Davonte game, and like, it's probably not

1022
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: the Jamonte game, like until Melvin Gordon goes away.

1023
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 2: So yes, not too quick one.

1024
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: This is not necessarily a dig at any kicking. But

1025
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: how many times would it take you to make an

1026
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: extra point?

1027
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 2: Oh? I don't think I could have one. I have

1028
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 2: I have tried, I have I have tried kicking, and

1029
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 2: I can. I've hit field goals from you know, twenty

1030
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 2: plus out like twenty yards still about thirty out or so,

1031
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 2: but man, that would be really hard. I believe it's

1032
00:50:54,880 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 2: what a thirty three yarder, So yeah, that that would

1033
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 2: that would take a lot. Let's go with eight attempts, Okay.

1034
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 2: I feel like maybe I'd get lucky on one of them.

1035
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: That's not that many. Like you could throw me out

1036
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: there and say, like one million dollars make the extra point,

1037
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 1: and it would I don't know, hundreds, Like I don't

1038
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: think that I have the physical capacity to do that.

1039
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: So but I've also never tried it, so it's it's

1040
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: cool that you've tried it. I just have never had

1041
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: the opportunity. Finally, if you had one cardinal rule to

1042
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: tell someone just getting into Fantasy this year, what would

1043
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: it be.

1044
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 2: It depends on if if we're talking about, you know,

1045
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 2: like if they're actually looking for a league, like I

1046
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 2: always I always recommend, you know, find a league with

1047
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 2: a group of people that you enjoy, or find a

1048
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 2: set of rules that you want to play in, like

1049
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 2: don't don't try to don't try to like mishmash either one.

1050
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 2: Sometimes that works. But if you if you're in a

1051
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 2: league with a bunch of people you you enjoy hanging

1052
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 2: out with and talking to and like conversing with, and

1053
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 2: there's good cammaraderie. No matter what the settings are, you're

1054
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 2: probably gonna like the league. Or on the other side,

1055
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 2: you can play with people you don't like or don't

1056
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 2: there's not much talking if you love the settings. So like,

1057
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 2: I think you have to really like introspect and figure

1058
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 2: out which one of those that you is most you like.

1059
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 2: Do you which part do you want? Do you want

1060
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 2: to try something interesting or do you want to try

1061
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 2: something with people you like? And that's going to lead

1062
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:26,240
Speaker 2: you to like it a lot better.

1063
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: I like that answer. No one has ever given like

1064
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 1: a interesting answer like that, for sure. I think that's

1065
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: very important and very important obviously to like your league

1066
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: mates and just have fun with it. That's I think

1067
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: the most important part people forget about, especially in our circles.

1068
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: But all right, that will do it for this round

1069
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: of twenty one questions with our esteemed guest Scott Fish. Scott,
