Speaker 1: a huge spread. We'll see what happens. But e y
Speaker 1: back with us again. I'm assuming that you couldn't join
Speaker 1: us yesterday because you were so excited about Garrit Cole
Speaker 1: joining the Yankees. You were just at a loss of words. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had to take the whole day off from that news.
Speaker 1: You know it's uh staggering Coal, one hell of a player.
Speaker 1: What to get for the Yankees. I have no idea

Speaker 1: Cold Mayby Freak Gardner. Maybe he's back. He's back. He's back.
Speaker 1: A lot of baseball going a lot baseball needs to
Speaker 1: take a week off. They had off for a month.
Speaker 1: It's been great, like free ages, old month. Go away.
Speaker 1: It's back, which is cool. It's a hot stove. Greg, No,
Speaker 1: but like there was a hot stove last year, there wasn't.
Speaker 1: It's back. It wasn't. There just wasn't. We didn't have
Speaker 1: any of these signings last year. But we've we've got
Speaker 1: some signings now, Greg, Yeah, we do, and thankfully it's
Speaker 1: with our team. Let's go tonight Thursday Night football. Ask
Speaker 1: Frank alluded to the Baltimore Ravens hosting the New York Jets.
Speaker 1: We have we'll have Virginia Zakis, who were by the way,
Speaker 1: e y. She is on IR herself. She tore her
Speaker 1: a c L, so we'll try to find out what
Speaker 1: her optimal recovery time is to day. She joins us,
Speaker 1: coming up at twenty pm Eastern time. If you're listening
Speaker 1: live or watching US on Pluto T the Live Frank,
Speaker 1: I just sleep, man, How did I sleep? I slept
Speaker 1: very well. I had to get in bed a little
Speaker 1: bit earlier. Schedule changing a little bit around here, so
Speaker 1: I had to had to get in a little bit earlier.
Speaker 1: Here today, you got some do you feel you feel refreshed?
Speaker 1: Some fun NBA content? No? Great, Just because you're getting
Speaker 1: bed earlier, it doesn't mean that you you fall asleep earlier.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of tossing and turning. It was all right,
Speaker 1: It is what it always is. I assume that you
Speaker 1: slept much better I got because I got off earlier. No,
Speaker 1: you just always sleep better than I. I just I
Speaker 1: don't sleep great typically. I'm sorry, man, I get in bed,
Speaker 1: my mind starts wandering all over the place. I have
Speaker 1: all these crazy thoughts and stuff. It's I don't know.
Speaker 1: I need help, all right, that's another story. Um. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So on today's show, I mentioned, well, Virginia will be
Speaker 1: here today and we want to do what we did
Speaker 1: last week. We hit all the waiverwidre a little bits,
Speaker 1: a little leftover guys that are out there, just a
Speaker 1: bit um. But we also mostly kind of start previewing
Speaker 1: the games for this weekend. They're sixteen games on the schedule.
Speaker 1: Of course that starts tonight, so we want to start
Speaker 1: previewing all of that, and we will do so on
Speaker 1: today's show. So Frank, let me start out with a
Speaker 1: bit of a Thursday night preview years the Ravens and
Speaker 1: the Jets. We've gotten some questions, including our own video
Speaker 1: producer Alex Passano is like, Hey, should I start Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson tonight? Like are you freak kidding me? So he
Speaker 1: comes in, he talks about it in his update this
Speaker 1: morning with with Dane and like, what what are you doing? Dames? Like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I agree, you got a tough decision. What is the
Speaker 1: tough decision you have? Lamar Jackson? He's your horse, ride him.
Speaker 1: But I got Jimmy j Jimmy, she's facing the falcons?
Speaker 1: Like what am I doing? Like, you've got a number
Speaker 1: one quarterback in the NFL, You've got the m v P,
Speaker 1: you got a leading Fantasy point score. You're gonna bench him?
Speaker 1: He's got this quad injury. What are they get up?
Speaker 1: Thirty seven seven? And like, how do you think they're
Speaker 1: getting thirty seven points? Marketing just gonna score six touchdown, said,
Speaker 1: he goes Marketing's gonna score touchdown. I go, all right,
Speaker 1: what about the other thirty points? Yeah? I mean, this
Speaker 1: is what we were talking about the other day. When
Speaker 1: when it when it comes down to this point in
Speaker 1: the season, the fantasy football playoffs, people start getting crazy, man,
Speaker 1: They start thinking all crazy kinds of things. And I
Speaker 1: get it. The Ravens are big favorites in this game,
Speaker 1: but for them to get up and potentially cover this spread,
Speaker 1: they're going to have to score points. And mark Ingram
Speaker 1: might score a touchdown or two. But the Jets have
Speaker 1: been good against running backs all season long. You can't
Speaker 1: bench Lamar Jackson because next thing you know, this guy
Speaker 1: throws for two or three touchdowns, he rushes for fifty
Speaker 1: sixty yards, and he does what he does every single week.
Speaker 1: He finishes on the top five fantasy quarterbacks. So I
Speaker 1: understand Jimmy Garoppolo has a good matchup. There's things that
Speaker 1: you could say about Jimmy g two. Who's to say
Speaker 1: that they don't just get up big and start running
Speaker 1: the football. There with Raheem Mostard, who has been great.
Speaker 1: So I understand that all these decisions are magnified, Greg,
Speaker 1: You know it's under a microscope. This is when things
Speaker 1: matter most. It's one and done. You either win or
Speaker 1: you go home. But don't overthink it. Man. You have
Speaker 1: the Fantasy MVP, you have the League MVP, and Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson he's got the quad injury. You gotta keep him
Speaker 1: in your lineup. You gotta go down with not everybody
Speaker 1: who's gotten you here, Greg, but you've got to go
Speaker 1: down with the Lamar Jackson ship. You just have to.
Speaker 1: I don't care about the quad injury. He's going to
Speaker 1: be fine. What say you if you have Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: and you know you have books, aren't worry about his quad?
Speaker 1: Is rushing prop and a half tonight they're seventeen and
Speaker 1: a half point favorites tonight. Uh e y. What do
Speaker 1: you say for those that have Lamar Jackson and you
Speaker 1: have a suitable option as you mean, g a Ryan Tannehill? Whoever?
Speaker 1: What do you say to those people? Do like Tannehill? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, like Frank said, people get squarely at this
Speaker 1: time of year. There's you know, it seems like there's
Speaker 1: a lot more on the line, but this is just
Speaker 1: another fantasy game. And look at I mean, he's the
Speaker 1: number one point getter and fantasy you cannot bench this guy. Um,
Speaker 1: if you believe this is the only time that he's
Speaker 1: been hurt all year, then then you're insane, especially for
Speaker 1: a running quarterback. There's definitely been games when he's been store.
Speaker 1: There's definitely been games where you been banged up. Um,
Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't reported or it wasn't said, but um,
Speaker 1: this one was. So they're talking about it quad injury.
Speaker 1: Anybody that's going to carry the ball and run the
Speaker 1: ball like that is going to be banged up at
Speaker 1: some point. But it hasn't mattered for this guy. You
Speaker 1: start Lamar Jackson, no, if sins are, but there's no
Speaker 1: quarterback better than him this year, So there's nobody that
Speaker 1: you should be starting in front of him. Well, the
Speaker 1: way Nick Arcolano says, do you stop asking should I
Speaker 1: start Lamar Jackson this week? Alex? Did you hear all
Speaker 1: of that? Buddy? Okay, he heard all that? Will you
Speaker 1: listen to us? Really that's interesting, Lamar Jackson Greig is
Speaker 1: averaging the most Fantasy points per game by a quarterback
Speaker 1: in NFL history. You should definitely guysure for Jimmy GJ
Speaker 1: definitely do it. I did give Alex from what are
Speaker 1: we doing? I did give Alex permission that if Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson sucks tonight, he can come in tomorrow. Will tell
Speaker 1: me to ask myself. You're welcome. I want to be
Speaker 1: the next day Finn see millionaire. Dunk on your NBA

Speaker 1: As I say going to break, I told Alex if
Speaker 1: he if Lamar Jackson is not foremasts we expect Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson's you can tell me to f myself tomorrow. So
Speaker 1: now I'm kind of rooting against Lamar Jackson, right nice,
Speaker 1: Why are you running against our our friend? Well, I
Speaker 1: can't fully do it because I have Lamar Jackson going
Speaker 1: in one of my playoff matchups. Tonight. So actually in
Speaker 1: two of my playoff mats up, so I do need
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson to have a big game, but being able
Speaker 1: to see one of our video producers tell you off
Speaker 1: it'd be pretty fun. All right, Well, let's see what
Speaker 1: happened live on the show tomorrow. I say that, Alex,
Speaker 1: you just do it anyway. It's where nation, No, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, if you say so. All right.
Speaker 1: Other than then Lamar and Jackson obviously starting mark Ingram
Speaker 1: tonight for Baltimore. What about the wide receivers and Ariel
Speaker 1: f Stein all in the morning after we was talking
Speaker 1: about how she likes Hollywood Brown in the prop tonight
Speaker 1: score touchdown, I actually like his yardage prop forty two
Speaker 1: and a half seems very low. You know, he can
Speaker 1: get that in one playff. I feel like that prop
Speaker 1: is kind of reactionary to him having just negative three
Speaker 1: yards last week against the Buffalo Bills. But that was
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills, and the Jets are playing without
Speaker 1: Brian Pool, They're missing another starting cornerback tonight that will
Speaker 1: be without Jamal Adams. So I do kind of like
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown in this spot as a solid wide receiver three.
Speaker 1: But I really do like that prop over forty two
Speaker 1: and a half receiving yards tonight. On the other side, Greg,
Speaker 1: I think Robby Anderson will see a lot volume, but again,
Speaker 1: the Ravens have been tough on wide receivers. Since Marcus
Speaker 1: Peters has joined this secondary, everyone else has gotten healthy.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith is healthy for the secondary as well. I
Speaker 1: like Robbie Anderson still as a low end wide receiver
Speaker 1: three just based on volume alone, because there's no Ryan
Speaker 1: Griffin tonight. To Marius Thomas is doubtful. That is twenty
Speaker 1: percent of the Jets targets that is out of this
Speaker 1: game tonight. Greig, you know, it's interesting because Ventro was
Speaker 1: talking a lot about Robbie Anderson and what you do
Speaker 1: about him, and it's really tough. Robbie Anderson's come on
Speaker 1: as of late e y with both jests roll receivers.
Speaker 1: As Frank mentioned, no Ryan Griffin, nod Marius Thomas expected
Speaker 1: Jimmy Jamison crowd has been brutal, but without those weapons,
Speaker 1: like maybe he sees more opportunity. What do you think
Speaker 1: about both wide receiver options for the New York Jets tonight,
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson and Jamison Crowder. I mean he he hasn't
Speaker 1: been great as of late, but like you can think
Speaker 1: back to the game where he caught like a hundred
Speaker 1: passes with no Ryan Griffin and no Damerius Thomas there,
Speaker 1: I feel like they're going to rely on Crowder. Robbie
Speaker 1: Anderson is always a deep threat um, but like Frank said,
Speaker 1: the Baltimore secondary has been really good. This is a
Speaker 1: really strong defense. Donald is a smart quarterback and he's
Speaker 1: gonna want to get the ball out of his hands. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I think Crowder is going to have a bunch
Speaker 1: of catches. I don't know if he scores a touchdown.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he has a bunch of yards,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna catch a bunch of balls tonight. That's
Speaker 1: that's my belief. Jamison crowd or someone who has led
Speaker 1: us down big time recently, Greg he hasn't been over
Speaker 1: thirty yards in each of the past three weeks. Well,
Speaker 1: and again, the targets are going to be there for them.
Speaker 1: I've been there for you. Expect the Jets are gonna
Speaker 1: be trailing in this game. They're likely gonna have to
Speaker 1: throw once they get uh, you know, once they get behind.
Speaker 1: So I feel better about Robbie because this is like
Speaker 1: the time of year he always comes on. You know,
Speaker 1: he's had at least he scored a touchdown or has
Speaker 1: had a hundred receiving yards in four straight games. So
Speaker 1: this is the time of year where Robbie Anderson usually
Speaker 1: likes to come around. Greg. I'm gonna read you where
Speaker 1: I have Robbie Anderson and the players right around him,
Speaker 1: and you tell me if this is egregious or not. Ready,
Speaker 1: Let's have Robbie Anderson wide receiver thirty five just ahead
Speaker 1: of him. I have Terry McLaurin going up against the Eagles,
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton, and Zach Pascal just behind him. I have
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel going up against the Seahawks, Chris Connley, who
Speaker 1: I'm really interested in at the Oakland Raiders, Sterling Shepherd
Speaker 1: at oh we'll not at but against the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: So those are the three behind the three head. I
Speaker 1: actually like um Robby Anderson and three guys you have
Speaker 1: after him way more than the guys you have Adam
Speaker 1: way more. I think Zach Pascal. I know you like
Speaker 1: the t Y Hilton's coming back for Zach Pascal. I
Speaker 1: don't Um when TiO Hilton has been in the line
Speaker 1: of I know Marshall Latimar's on him. Zach Pascal's targets
Speaker 1: go way down. So I don't like that UM at all.
Speaker 1: Tim mcclarin, I still don't trust with um. Philly is
Speaker 1: just so bad man, you know, I know they're really bad.
Speaker 1: I just got torn up. Not torn up, but Eli
Speaker 1: Manning through too deep touchas is horrific. Anything Terry McLarin does.
Speaker 1: Just before last week, you would have said the same
Speaker 1: thing about Eli Manning. He is horrific and he's still
Speaker 1: threw two deep touchdowns to Darius lat I don't like
Speaker 1: McClaren this week. Who's the third guy? It was the
Speaker 1: one behind him? And then Slate we talked about off
Speaker 1: the air. Yes, Lain, I do like Slating against the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: I like Starting Shepherd more. Yeah. So look he's right
Speaker 1: in that mix. Wide receiver three. Curtis Samuels just behind
Speaker 1: him against Charis Samuel more like. I like like Curtis
Speaker 1: Samuel more than Robbie Anderson. I think they're very similar,
Speaker 1: but I have the I have both of them above.
Speaker 1: Some of the guys that you mentioned would use Chris
Speaker 1: Connley ahead of Robby Anderson, like Chris Conley as well,
Speaker 1: for the same reason as that you were mentioned. I
Speaker 1: actually went to go see if he's a leftovers the
Speaker 1: leftovers a second caause, and then Chris Conny is the
Speaker 1: perfect guy. Um, it's a good matchup. It's very good.
Speaker 1: It doesn't get better than that. No, d J Chark,
Speaker 1: d D Westbrook dealing with the shoulder thing right now.
Speaker 1: I don't think is gonna be like because Robbie Anderson
Speaker 1: has been really hot as of late, and it's really
Speaker 1: hard to mentionment as you said, towards the end of
Speaker 1: every year, for whatever reason, he goes off. So my
Speaker 1: answer is no, Eric would say you, uh yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that's a that's a mess. It's a mess. I
Speaker 1: think Haskins has improved and McLaren has been uh okay.
Speaker 1: I feel like there is a real connection there. We
Speaker 1: know they played together in college and and I think
Speaker 1: the connection will grow and Haskins will get better and
Speaker 1: Philly hasn't been able to stop anybody. But this is
Speaker 1: it's Robbie Anderson time at this time of year, and
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about him. UM was
Speaker 1: dropped and almost non existent at the start of the year,
Speaker 1: but really starting to come on. Uh. And Connolly is
Speaker 1: a guy, I mean the guy can he can flat
Speaker 1: out fly? Uh? My question is the quarterback play there?
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, if I had to pick out
Speaker 1: of those guys, I think I probably lean McLaurin. At
Speaker 1: this point. Do we know for sure that t Why
Speaker 1: Hilton is gonna be backgreag because you're talking about it
Speaker 1: like it's a certainty, and I just don't know that
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. Act just today, you practice today, But
Speaker 1: there's the first time they say. They always say will
Speaker 1: return to practice, right, and sometimes it gets updated later.
Speaker 1: But I know that today's their Wednesday practice because they
Speaker 1: play Monday night and he practiced on the Wednesday practice
Speaker 1: and he was talking about yesterday. How you know if
Speaker 1: he if he kind of play, he will be out there.
Speaker 1: He's signed up for sixteen games player all that stuff.
Speaker 1: He wants to play. I'm playing him and that means
Speaker 1: Zack basket drops a bit. Yeah. Look, personally, it's definitely
Speaker 1: gonna affect Zack Pascal if t Y Hilton plays. In
Speaker 1: regard to if you can actually put t Y Hilton
Speaker 1: back in your lineup, with your season on the line
Speaker 1: in Week fifteen. I understand that it's indoors inside the dome,
Speaker 1: but last time we saw t Y Hilton on the field,
Speaker 1: he was rusty, he dropped passes. There's a chance for
Speaker 1: re injury. Even if t Y Hilton plays, I don't
Speaker 1: know that he's a lot to get in your lineup
Speaker 1: in Week fifteen. Obviously depends who you have above him.
Speaker 1: We'll see where you ranked to Y Hilton tomorrow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm usually very I rank things according to
Speaker 1: what do I assume is going to happen. So as
Speaker 1: of now, I would still assume, even with t Y
Speaker 1: Hilton practicing, that he's not going to play this week.
Speaker 1: We'll see if that gets updated over the next couple
Speaker 1: of days. But if it's looking like he's going to play,
Speaker 1: he will probably be in a similar place to where
Speaker 1: I have Robbie Anderson right now, a lower end wide
Speaker 1: receiver three. There's just a lot of risk involved. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: we mentioned Chris Connley, so let's get into some of
Speaker 1: these guys like Chris Conley that could be out there
Speaker 1: in the segment we like to call the leftovers. Didn't
Speaker 1: get your fill from the waiver wire. Now one more
Speaker 1: the BFFs has your leftovers watch this never mind, give
Speaker 1: me a whole lot of it, all right? Having the
Speaker 1: leftovers here on the BFFs. Chris Conley certainly part of
Speaker 1: that crew. Frankie, we talked a lot about Chris Conley,
Speaker 1: the reasons that you liked them. But he's not the
Speaker 1: only member of the leftovers that are out there on
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. This is we man. Dion Lewis fits
Speaker 1: the bill as well. Dion Lewis. It just came out
Speaker 1: earlier today that Derrick Henry said I am going to
Speaker 1: play this week. You know, there was some concern that
Speaker 1: he is dealing with this hamstring injury. He has really
Speaker 1: commended the Titan's medical staff for helping him through this process.
Speaker 1: Last week basically playing on one leg, still rush for
Speaker 1: a hundred yards, still rush for two touchdowns. I would say,
Speaker 1: like I have said this entire you know past month, Greg,
Speaker 1: if you own Derrick Henry, make sure you have Dean
Speaker 1: Lewis on your team, and if your opponent has Derrick Henry,
Speaker 1: then maybe that's where you also want to pick up
Speaker 1: Dean Lewis. But outside of that, just picking up Dean
Speaker 1: Lewis as a flex. I'm probably not gonna do that
Speaker 1: unless we get some scary news from from Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: Are gonna go over to the Philadelphia Eagles, who god knows,
Speaker 1: it's already outside wide receiver for them. Nelson Aghalore still
Speaker 1: banging up j j R. Thing on white side is
Speaker 1: gonna play, but he's banging up any injest him A man?
Speaker 1: Greg Ward? Your man Greg Ward? A week ago? Did
Speaker 1: you have any idea that Greg Ward played for the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. He was not my man a week ago.
Speaker 1: He's my man now he spelled his name with three G.
Speaker 1: He does not. Yeah, I don't. I'm not interested in
Speaker 1: Greg Ward. Move on. Actually I haven't ranked higher than
Speaker 1: the consensus. I have greg Ward rights. I don't know,
Speaker 1: somewhere like really crazy at wide receiver. Where he played
Speaker 1: in college? I do not know, but they were talking
Speaker 1: about him playing quarterback. He was the quarterback of the
Speaker 1: Houston Cougars. I will give you a legitimate leftover greg
Speaker 1: right now before the break, Danny Amandola against Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: A legit left over wide receiver rate. Virginia Zakis joins

Speaker 1: Reginia's eyes. What's going on, Virginia. It's good to be back.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling doing all right? This is a
Speaker 1: good distraction after a rough week or so. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be very honest with everybody. So we uh when we
Speaker 1: found out Virginia, So those who don't know, she heard
Speaker 1: her knee playing soccer to her a c L. So
Speaker 1: immediately Frank and I responded into supparate emails to Virginia
Speaker 1: saying your optimal recovery time is six to nine months
Speaker 1: should be out there, you're at peak health. Um. We
Speaker 1: left internally. We also left extra only to each other.
Speaker 1: Virginia did uh not respond to those emails or provide
Speaker 1: an l O L of any sort. Uh, And we
Speaker 1: don't think we made her laugh? Rank Yeah, we hope
Speaker 1: that you don't. You don't hate as Virginia and y'all
Speaker 1: are spot on. We nailed it. We've learned a thing
Speaker 1: or too, Greg, we nailed it. Let's go all right,
Speaker 1: just staring. I mean that's uncomfortable. All right. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of players that we need your help with, Virginia,
Speaker 1: A lot of players that since you've been on I
Speaker 1: r uh, that are hurt and we need help desperately.
Speaker 1: So let me start in Oakland where Josh Jacobs. We
Speaker 1: know I was like a fractured shoulder, but he practiced today.
Speaker 1: He did not play this past week. John Green's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna play him. What's going
Speaker 1: on with Josh Jacobs? Yea, so he actually has apparently
Speaker 1: been playing through a fractured shoulder blade since week seven.
Speaker 1: UM didn't miss any games until last week. It kind
Speaker 1: of came out of nowhere. UM, I think he had
Speaker 1: to have had some sort of an aggravation of his
Speaker 1: shoulder injury, because it doesn't really make sense that he
Speaker 1: could play through the injury for that long and then
Speaker 1: suddenly it's bothering him enough that you know he needs
Speaker 1: to take a week off. But he didn't undergo an
Speaker 1: m r I. UM, it showed relatively positive results. They
Speaker 1: didn't say that it was completely clean. Um. But there's
Speaker 1: a chance he could play this week. Now, the risk
Speaker 1: here is if he plays, which I'd give him, you know,
Speaker 1: a fifty chance, there's a very good chance he doesn't
Speaker 1: end up finishing the game. So he's going to be
Speaker 1: a really risky guy to play this week. Um. You
Speaker 1: know it's a painful injury. UM, any big hit hard
Speaker 1: fall on that side, Um, it's not gonna feel good.
Speaker 1: So he could be in and out of the game.
Speaker 1: They could manage his reps. UM. I just don't see
Speaker 1: his day going very well if he does suit up
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Greg, that is Uh, that makes us a
Speaker 1: very tough situation. I almost hope that John Gruden just
Speaker 1: rules Josh Jacobs out, protect him from himself, so that
Speaker 1: we can have DeAndre Washington all to himself in this
Speaker 1: backfield against the Jaguars, because if Josh Jacobs is active,
Speaker 1: you've got to use Josh Jacobs in your lineup. It's
Speaker 1: the best matchup for a running back right now going
Speaker 1: up against this Jaguars defense. So I almost hope that
Speaker 1: they just rule Josh Jacobs out so that we can
Speaker 1: have DeAndre Washington all by himself here Virginia, I want
Speaker 1: to talk about an injury going into tonight Thursday Night Football.
Speaker 1: That is Mark Andrews. He is dealing with a thi
Speaker 1: knee contusion. Uh, he's expected to give it a go
Speaker 1: going into tonight's Thursday Night Football. So you know, what
Speaker 1: does that mean exact? Like what what percentage do we
Speaker 1: give him? Like where is he rank right now in
Speaker 1: terms of his health like percentage wise, and what are
Speaker 1: his chances of him, you know, finishing out this game
Speaker 1: completely healthy. Yeah, So our algorithm is showing that this
Speaker 1: is a pretty minor, you know, soft tissue injury because
Speaker 1: it is a contusion. Um. But in this case, because
Speaker 1: he has the Thursday Night game, we're a lot more
Speaker 1: custimistic on him. Um. If he was gonna play Sunday,
Speaker 1: he would actually be in the elevated risk category. But
Speaker 1: because he has just four days to recover, UM, he's
Speaker 1: going to be a high injury risk entering tonight's game. UM,
Speaker 1: and his health performance factor is below average. So it
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like, you know, there's any ligament damage or
Speaker 1: real concern that this be um, that he could suffer
Speaker 1: a serious aggregation of this injury. But anytime you're dealing
Speaker 1: with sort of a knee quad contusion, you gotta keep
Speaker 1: it loose. UM. It might you know, sort of affect
Speaker 1: the way that you're running and jumping, which could lead
Speaker 1: to another injury. UM. You know, and it's one of
Speaker 1: those I think he could be sort of in and
Speaker 1: out of the game. UM. And a lot of it
Speaker 1: is just going to be about pain management. So it
Speaker 1: definitely hurts him that it's the Thursday night game, but
Speaker 1: it's not serious enough that he shouldn't give it a try. UM,
Speaker 1: it just might not go very well, right, I have
Speaker 1: market enters is my tight end ten? Is that too
Speaker 1: high or too low? It seems about right to me.
Speaker 1: Um As originally said that you keep him out or
Speaker 1: we know that that he snaps normally limited anyway, so
Speaker 1: that he mus to be out of what he needs
Speaker 1: to be out there for. I think you gotta put
Speaker 1: him in there. Ten seems about right. The Titans I
Speaker 1: have just ahead of him, Tyler Higby, Jack Doyle, Austin
Speaker 1: Hooper and Jared Cook for those ones. I'm good with
Speaker 1: all those. Jared Cook plays. He left this game early
Speaker 1: last week as well as concussion. I believe. Let me
Speaker 1: continue on for some other players that may return these week, Virginia.
Speaker 1: And that brings us to Adam Feeling, who's been out
Speaker 1: for seemingly forever with his hamstring. He's been nagging him
Speaker 1: and nagging him. Your practice today, and he feels better
Speaker 1: than ever. You wouldn't guarantee he plays Sunday. He's feeling good,
Speaker 1: say you, Adam Feeling. Yeah. So he originally was hurt
Speaker 1: in Week seven, missed week, returned two weeks after his injury,
Speaker 1: which we thought was too soon, and then of course
Speaker 1: he hasn't played since then, and he did have another
Speaker 1: aggravation at practice along the way. Obviously, good to see
Speaker 1: him out there today. He said he went through some
Speaker 1: individual drills and was moving a lot closer to game speed. Um.
Speaker 1: I would really like to see him get in a
Speaker 1: full practice though, and uh, you know, make it through
Speaker 1: the practice without any sort of a setback, because there's
Speaker 1: really no other way to fully test out your hamstring
Speaker 1: unless you're going full speed, and doing that for the
Speaker 1: first time in a game, especially when you've missed this
Speaker 1: much time, is incredibly risky. So he actually has reached
Speaker 1: his optimal recovery time, but his injury risk remains very,
Speaker 1: very high UM, hovering right around thirty eight percent UM,
Speaker 1: just because you know he's already aggravated it a few
Speaker 1: times and this is just such a tough injury to
Speaker 1: fully recover from. His health performance factor just slipped back
Speaker 1: into the above average category. So if he plays I
Speaker 1: actually think he could play fairly well, um, but this
Speaker 1: hamstring string could affect his explosiveness. UM. Ideally that keep
Speaker 1: him out one more week, get him a few full
Speaker 1: practices next week, slowly bring him back, UM, then hopefully
Speaker 1: he's good to go. I told Greg during the break
Speaker 1: that ranking Adam Feeland has been one of the hardest
Speaker 1: things to do this week, just because a he's coming
Speaker 1: back from an injury, so obviously there's always a risk
Speaker 1: involved with that, especially with a hamstring, and he's going
Speaker 1: up against the Chargers the charges have been a really
Speaker 1: good defense against wide receivers. So I do have Adam
Speaker 1: feeling as my wide receiver twenty four. I think that
Speaker 1: that's the range he should be viewed a low and
Speaker 1: wide receiver to high end wide receiver. Three Virginia, I
Speaker 1: want to ask you about t Y Hilton. We brought
Speaker 1: him up earlier in the show, and obviously if he plays,
Speaker 1: he affects the target share of Jack Doyle and Zach Pascal.
Speaker 1: So we've got to hear you know, what's the latest
Speaker 1: on t Y Hilton. He's still dealing with that caffe injury. UH.
Speaker 1: Supposedly returned to practice today on Thursday. Is this a
Speaker 1: week where he will be rested up enough good to go.
Speaker 1: Is this where his optimal recovery time kind of lines
Speaker 1: up with everything? Um? So, because he returned in week twelve,
Speaker 1: which we thought was too soon and aggravated his cap string,
Speaker 1: his optimal recovery time got pushed back, um And we're
Speaker 1: actually showing a healthier return date around week seventeen. Um.
Speaker 1: And given the Colts position right now, they really should
Speaker 1: just shut him down for the season. It's such a
Speaker 1: tough injury to fully recover from. Similar to Filin's hamstring strain. UM,
Speaker 1: these muscular injuries, once you hurt them and then aggravate
Speaker 1: them again and they get worse, it's just really tough
Speaker 1: to get back to within a few weeks. So I
Speaker 1: really don't think he should play. Um, he shouldn't play
Speaker 1: next week. Very very high injury risk right now. UM.
Speaker 1: And also when you're dealing with a calf strain, not
Speaker 1: only are you risking aggravating the calf, but the rest
Speaker 1: of your lower bodies compromised. UM. You know, anything from
Speaker 1: a hamstring strain, ankle sprain. UM entering the achilles, he's
Speaker 1: just putting himself at a very high risk of suffering
Speaker 1: a more serious injury that would then affect him in
Speaker 1: the off season if he does try to play this
Speaker 1: week er next. It kind of reminds me of Kevin
Speaker 1: Durant too, right, as he was dealing with the calf
Speaker 1: injury throughout the playoffs, ends up coming back too soon
Speaker 1: and he ruptures his achilles. You know, obviously we would
Speaker 1: never want something like that to happen to t Y Hilton,
Speaker 1: but if he does return too early, it, you know,
Speaker 1: he does put himself at risk for that. Greig absolutely.
Speaker 1: We've seen this a lot with t Y Hilton trying
Speaker 1: to push himself back in other players. Even if he
Speaker 1: plays in it and they say he's good to go,
Speaker 1: I don't think I can use him. I think it's
Speaker 1: way too risky. We'll see what happens. E Y, I
Speaker 1: know you have a question in regards see your boy
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. What's going on with him? For Virginia, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean banged up the hamstring thing. It's a it's
Speaker 1: a scary thing. Um. He's been unbelievable all year. Uh
Speaker 1: and when you need him most, this is the most
Speaker 1: worried that Derrick Henry owners have been all year. What
Speaker 1: do you think, Virginia. Yeah, So I'm actually not too
Speaker 1: concerned about his hamstring injury. Um. You know, he's had
Speaker 1: I think around two fifty cars this year, which is
Speaker 1: by far the most he's ever had in his career.
Speaker 1: And there's still three games averaging almost twenty carries a game. Um,
Speaker 1: that's a lot for a guy like Henry who hasn't
Speaker 1: had this kind of workload in season's past. So my
Speaker 1: my guess is that his hamstring is a little tight. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, it's been cold sometimes, which can leave you
Speaker 1: a little more susceptible to suffering a strain. So I'm
Speaker 1: hopeful that they're just you know, being very cautious with him.
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with some streness and some tightness, but that
Speaker 1: this isn't, you know, truly a strain yet. UM. You know,
Speaker 1: if you continue, if you miss his practice today and
Speaker 1: again tomorrow, I'll definitely be concerned. But the last few
Speaker 1: weeks he's been limited throughout the week um and has
Speaker 1: gone out there on Sunday and played well. So he's
Speaker 1: an elevated injury risk right now, so a slight bit
Speaker 1: of concern, but his health performance factor is in the
Speaker 1: peak category, so expects him to go out there and
Speaker 1: continue to play very well. Right, So, Derrick Henry should
Speaker 1: be a right this weekend. For those that are playing
Speaker 1: against Derrick Henry. Dam I'm sorry, yes man, Damie Williams,
Speaker 1: someone I'm also playing against this week, and he was
Speaker 1: heard to practice yesterday with these real injuries. Damie Williams
Speaker 1: ready to go, Virginia. Um, yep, our algorithm is saying
Speaker 1: that he has reached his optimal recovery time. UM. I
Speaker 1: think we've mentioned this before that I believe his injuries.
Speaker 1: A rib cartilage fracture not the same as a rib
Speaker 1: rib fracture, UM, but very painful to cartilage in between
Speaker 1: the ribs gets damaged. UM. It can take you know,
Speaker 1: five six weeks for a player to become pain free
Speaker 1: after this injury if it's on the more serious side.
Speaker 1: But he should be healthy enough to go out there
Speaker 1: and play. Might get an injection before the game. He
Speaker 1: might also have to wear some extra padding just to
Speaker 1: protect that area. UM. Elevated injury risk, but his health
Speaker 1: performance factors back at peak, So as long as he
Speaker 1: gets enough touches, I think he actually should have a
Speaker 1: pretty good day. Virginia. I want to ask you about
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett, more so for affecting the value of Tyler
Speaker 1: Higbee back to back one yard receiving games for Tyler Higbye.
Speaker 1: Jerald Everett dealing with this knee injury. What do we
Speaker 1: expect heading its week fifteen, So he hyper extended his
Speaker 1: knee in week twelve. They haven't said exactly UM what
Speaker 1: his injury is, but more than likely he's dealing with
Speaker 1: a bit of a nie sprain and possibly also a
Speaker 1: bone bruise. UM. Given that we're considering this a grade
Speaker 1: to knee injury and his optimal recovery time is around
Speaker 1: three to four weeks. Um, it's not looking like he's
Speaker 1: going to play this weekend, but I would give him
Speaker 1: a pretty good shot at returning next week. Um. His
Speaker 1: injury risk right now is in the elevated category and
Speaker 1: will be again next week as well, as long as
Speaker 1: you know there's no sort of a setback between now
Speaker 1: and then. Um, but best I'm hoping he misses this
Speaker 1: week and then returns next week. And it is, you know,
Speaker 1: pretty close to a fire up. Tyler Higby over Mark
Speaker 1: Andrews tonight, Frank with a Monster fish Pump where you
Speaker 1: didn't give out that news about Jerrold Everett Virginia. We
Speaker 1: appreciate the time you look in your recovery and we'll
Speaker 1: talk to you next week. All right, when we come back,
Speaker 1: we looked two weeks, we've seen you, begin our reviews
Speaker 1: and we start going over everything you need to know
Speaker 1: for this weekend. In fantasy, I want to be the

Speaker 1: hijacking the show. I just want to tell you where
Speaker 1: I have Levian Bell ranked, and you tell me if
Speaker 1: it's crazy or not, because we didn't get into it
Speaker 1: when we preview the Jets RB. Is that too high?
Speaker 1: Who's random? I have mark Ingram, Philip Lindsay, Alvin Kamar
Speaker 1: just ahead, Joe Mixon, Austin Eckler, David Montgomery just behind.
Speaker 1: The reason I asked, is someone in the chat legitimately
Speaker 1: asked Levian Bell or Patrick Laird, l On Bell or
Speaker 1: Patrick Laird, But there are other people in the chat
Speaker 1: actually saying Patrick Laird. That's why I wanted to bring
Speaker 1: it wrong. Well, we don't know for certain that it's wrong.
Speaker 1: We do know we knew it. It's a wrong call.
Speaker 1: You have been processed of a results. I could see
Speaker 1: why you would have pause though over Levian Bell. You
Speaker 1: don't know where his head at, where his motivation is
Speaker 1: at his heads he was all the two fifties, so
Speaker 1: I'm sure rocked. He's locked in. He should be good
Speaker 1: to go if he can. If he can do that
Speaker 1: on the lanes, you should be able to do that
Speaker 1: on the field. Right. But the way the Jets should
Speaker 1: attack the Ravens tonight is actually on the ground. It's
Speaker 1: easier to run against him than it is to throw.
Speaker 1: I mean, since they've gotten all these corners back and
Speaker 1: they traded for Marcus Peters and everyone's healthy, it's harder
Speaker 1: to throw against him. And teams have had success running
Speaker 1: against the Ravens recently. Uh wh he Moser had a
Speaker 1: big game against him. Devin Singletary ran for like eight
Speaker 1: yards last week against him, So me personally, Baal Powell
Speaker 1: is not going to play in this game tonight. Levian
Speaker 1: Bell and Time Montgomery are might be the only two
Speaker 1: running backs actively. I guess we'll see if like Josh
Speaker 1: Adams is active or something like that, but I expect
Speaker 1: a big workload for Levian Bell once again tonight. I agree, man,
Speaker 1: I totally agree. I like lady on Bell way more
Speaker 1: than like I like Patrick laird Um, but An the
Speaker 1: way you haven't certainly seems fair. While we were looking
Speaker 1: at them, I guess it was a straight sex time
Speaker 1: celebrity league yesterday is dominating in that league. I believe
Speaker 1: Seth Seth Rawlins is going up against delln Batant. It's hilarious.
Speaker 1: And then the miss is going answering to somebody too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I forgot who the miss is going up just showing
Speaker 1: up fantasy football, man, very good fantasy It's a big thing.
Speaker 1: It's definitely a huge thing. Um, both of those guys
Speaker 1: are eliminated in in the real league that all w
Speaker 1: W guys play in. A'm still in that in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Uh but yeah, I mean Miss and Seth both die
Speaker 1: hard football guys. Know they're fantasy. Love fantasy football. Um
Speaker 1: when I run into them, you know, I run into
Speaker 1: Seth weekly, and that's what we talk about. We talk
Speaker 1: about fantasy football. Yeah, that's that's what matters around here, right,
Speaker 1: Like I come to work talking about fantasy football, you
Speaker 1: go to work talking about It's all that matters. Literally,
Speaker 1: all that managed What was we're talking about here? All right, Greig,
Speaker 1: you can have the show back now the same breakdowns.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't really want the show back.
Speaker 1: Come on, he's doing a great job. The Bears at
Speaker 1: the Packers, Greg, the Green Bay Packers five point favorites
Speaker 1: a forty one point total in this game. Greg, I
Speaker 1: have Aaron Rodgers ranked as my QB twelve on the week.
Speaker 1: He is at home where he is aid better in
Speaker 1: his career. He's been very inconsistent this year. He's got
Speaker 1: five games over nineteen Fantasy points this year. The other
Speaker 1: eight games he has been held under fifteen Fantasy points.
Speaker 1: So he's had some big games when he's really had
Speaker 1: some clunkers because they've been running the ball more. What
Speaker 1: say you? Yeah? So for me, if I had another
Speaker 1: option Ryan Tannehills of the world, have Ryan Tannehills my
Speaker 1: QB four? What can go wrong? In Week fifteen? I
Speaker 1: haven't ranked the head of Patrick Mahomes. That seems dangerous.
Speaker 1: I like to live on the edge here, Greg, clearly
Speaker 1: do um starting him in the pit league? Boys, I'm
Speaker 1: the only BFF left. Let's let's get behind this. Too soon?
Speaker 1: You want too soon? Man? Do come? I do have
Speaker 1: Baker and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick ranked ahead of Aaron Rodgers. Um,
Speaker 1: where do you? Where's Baker and Ryan fits Patrick? Right?
Speaker 1: Acres my QB nine against the Cardinals Fitzpatrick QB eleven,
Speaker 1: one spot. So I agree with that, Um, I I'm
Speaker 1: looking at Aaron Rodgers. Gaelog Into somebody that has not
Speaker 1: really had Aaron Rodgers this year. I had him in
Speaker 1: one spot, but it's been very annoying. He has not
Speaker 1: thrown for three hundred yards in like six weeks. That's
Speaker 1: a really long time not throw three hundred yards if
Speaker 1: you're Aaron Rodgers. Um previously this year against Chicago that
Speaker 1: was the opening day Georgia yards one touchdown, and that's
Speaker 1: like kind of what I expect on a weekly basis
Speaker 1: from Aaron Rodgers, right about two hundred yards one to
Speaker 1: do touchdowns. In fact, he hasn't thrown more. He's thrown
Speaker 1: more than one touchdown just once in the last six weeks.
Speaker 1: It was four touchdowns against Giants, which doesn't really count.
Speaker 1: So to me, I don't love Aaron Rodgers. I think
Speaker 1: the other guys that you could choose from Tannehill, Fitzpatrick, Mayfield,
Speaker 1: I'm much more interested. I have no problem bending Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: Why do you agree? Are you starting Baker Mayfield at
Speaker 1: the Cardinals who have allowed the most fantasy points and
Speaker 1: most passing touchdowns this year? Ryan Fitzpatrick going up against
Speaker 1: the Giants, even through Kyler Murray. And this makes because
Speaker 1: I haven't ranked one spot behind Aaron Rodgers. Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: going up against Ker Mayfield. Here, we've got the clash
Speaker 1: of the past two Heisman Trophy winners. Would you use
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray over Aaron Rodgers this week? Eway, I think
Speaker 1: I would seriously think about it. That that offense has
Speaker 1: kind of got it down. It doesn't really matter. They're
Speaker 1: playing at home, uh indoors Cleveland. Um hasn't been the defense.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people thought they were going
Speaker 1: to be. And I think that Baker is gonna be
Speaker 1: able to move the ball. I've got an interesting decision.
Speaker 1: I've got Mayfield and went so I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: to do there, but out of out of Murray and Mayfield,
Speaker 1: I think I probably probably lean Baker. I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: I had Baker ranked the high outset of all of them. Greig,
Speaker 1: would you use Kyler Murray over Aaron Rodgers? That one's closer, Um,
Speaker 1: because Murray's floor is also not He hasn't been playing well,
Speaker 1: but he did have two tough matchups against the Steelers
Speaker 1: and rams Murray just for Kirk Cousins at Los Angeles Chargers. No,
Speaker 1: So I think Aaron Rodgers is I think Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: is ranked well. But I think that I think that
Speaker 1: really for the first time because I didn't do it
Speaker 1: last Remember we had it was the Tom Brady versus
Speaker 1: Nick Foles debbe? Was that what it was? Tom Brady?
Speaker 1: It was? It was not Nick Foles women Nick Foles
Speaker 1: in terms of we start one week. It was either
Speaker 1: that or I know we had Jared Golf like two
Speaker 1: years ago or something like that. Sure, I think it
Speaker 1: was Nick Foles last year. And I always was saying, dude,
Speaker 1: it's Brady or it's Rogers. Strip the name off the jersey.
Speaker 1: I just don't feel that way anymore. And it just
Speaker 1: shouldn't feel that way about Rogers. I've watched enough of
Speaker 1: the Packers this year, and even enough of the Patriots, Like,
Speaker 1: where's Tom Brady on your list this week? Um? QB
Speaker 1: there you go, Right, that's Brady and Rogers not in.
Speaker 1: Rogers barely as a QB one this week, Brady barely
Speaker 1: as a QB two this week. I think both of
Speaker 1: those guys this season not really consistent fantasy starting quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's fair to say. Look,
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Rodgers has that upside game in his
Speaker 1: back pocket, but predicting when it's going to come, like
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has been the perfect best ball quarterback this
Speaker 1: year because you don't really know when he's going off.
Speaker 1: I actually had a league where I benched him in
Speaker 1: that monster game against the Raiders where he had like
Speaker 1: six touchdowns, So that was not fun. Greg. On the
Speaker 1: other side, Mittel Trobiski coming around. He's the QB five
Speaker 1: and fantasy points per game over the last five weeks.
Speaker 1: Just rush for sixty three yards against the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 1: last week. I love David Montgomery. You've been able to
Speaker 1: run on the Packers all year. I think Montgomery is
Speaker 1: a very solid RB two this week, Alan Robinson, I
Speaker 1: don't see how you can get away from even in
Speaker 1: a tougher match up against the Packers. Greg, I think
Speaker 1: the ones that I really want to ask you about
Speaker 1: here are Trabisky as a super flex and Anthony Miller.
Speaker 1: I don't know that that Taylor Gabriel is gonna be back.
Speaker 1: He hasn't practiced yet this week. Are you going back
Speaker 1: to Anthony Miller? And would you trust Trabisky as a
Speaker 1: super flex quarterback? The reason that I do trust your
Speaker 1: Whisky as a super flex quarterback because he's just runs
Speaker 1: some much more in the pastoral of the weeks. That
Speaker 1: part of his game has come back. And when you
Speaker 1: do that, as we've seen with Josh Allen throughout the season,
Speaker 1: when you do that, the floor is just so much higher.
Speaker 1: And because of that, I'm okay in the super Flex
Speaker 1: only starting true whisky. When it comes to Anthony Miller, Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not an Anthony Miller truth. I drafted him before
Speaker 1: the season started. It didn't work out. E Y did
Speaker 1: the same thing. It didn't work out. Whenever, since Taylor
Speaker 1: Gabriel has gone down over the past couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: he's been pretty good. You haven't touchdown last week and
Speaker 1: save this day. Thirteen targets the week before, targets over
Speaker 1: his last four weeks. Great, Yeah, I mean last year
Speaker 1: the touchdown and say this day. Let's let's be very
Speaker 1: fair about that. Um against Green Bay the first time
Speaker 1: when I started him in the league, he had one target.
Speaker 1: That was it. They were still figuring out the offense.
Speaker 1: I think you can start Anthony Miller. I think the question,
Speaker 1: like the perfect question I have is Anthony Miller Zach Pascal,
Speaker 1: Like that's a question that I think it's legitimate. I
Speaker 1: have Pascal ranked higher personally. I have Anthony Miller wide
Speaker 1: receiver forty three. I'm not as excited about him this
Speaker 1: week as I have in the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I would use Alan Hearns over him, Danny Amon Dola.
Speaker 1: I don't know what Alan. This is assuming that DeVante
Speaker 1: Parker is not that because he didn't practice again today.
Speaker 1: Well he was in stage four. He actually did practice today.
Speaker 1: Well if he did, then it's like a limited but
Speaker 1: he's still in concussion party. Yes he is. Well, him
Speaker 1: and Albert Wilson or anything that I say about the
Speaker 1: Dolphins receivers not named Devanta Parker is assuming that DeVante
Speaker 1: Parker would be out e y. You were the Anthony
Speaker 1: Miller guy, I mean, are you going back to him
Speaker 1: this week? Would you use him over someone like Robby
Speaker 1: Anderson tonight? People might have that decision. I don't think
Speaker 1: i'd start him over Robby Anderson, but but I think
Speaker 1: this is what what people that were drafting Miller early. Um,
Speaker 1: he's one of my biggest boss. I had him way
Speaker 1: up my board, especially because of what he did with
Speaker 1: basically one arm last year. I think he had seven touchdowns. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's starting to show up. He's starting to look like
Speaker 1: the wide receiver that I thought he was going to
Speaker 1: be uh, and I don't know why it took Taylor
Speaker 1: Gabriel being out for this to happen. I mean a
Speaker 1: lot of this coincides with Mr Risky not being an
Speaker 1: absolute tire fire, you know. I believe that's a big thing. Um,
Speaker 1: he's making some plays. Uh, he's using his feet, making
Speaker 1: the defense guess what he's going to do, and the
Speaker 1: wide receivers are reaping the benefit. Alan Robinson has been
Speaker 1: good no matter who is that quarterback all year. He's
Speaker 1: been really really good. But Miller his starting to step up.
Speaker 1: So he's a guy. I mean, I think you can
Speaker 1: stream him this week. I don't think I put him
Speaker 1: over Robby Anderson, but I would think about it. Allen
Speaker 1: Robinson has four touchdowns in his last three games. He's
Speaker 1: a low end wide receiver. One for me, I think
Speaker 1: that he has matchup proof at this point. The Broncos
Speaker 1: at the Kansas City Chiefs. Let's see if we get
Speaker 1: one more game in here before tomorrow, greg The Chiefs
Speaker 1: are laying ten points in this game forty six and
Speaker 1: a half total divisional matchup. Big point spread for a
Speaker 1: game that is a divisional matchup. Here I've got to
Speaker 1: ask the question because if people are having questions about
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, and of course they're gonna have questions about
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, which is still crazy. But he posted ten
Speaker 1: touchdown passes in his three games. Since then, he has
Speaker 1: ten touchdown passes in his next seven games that he
Speaker 1: has started and finished. So he's clearly playing hurt right now.
Speaker 1: He's banged up. Greg As of now, I have Ryan
Speaker 1: Tannehill ranked ahead of Patrick Mahomes. I have Drew Brees
Speaker 1: ranked ahead of Patrick Mahomes. I have Patrick Mahomes as
Speaker 1: my QB five on the week. Would you dare play
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill over Patrick Mahomes? Now, all right, how about you?
Speaker 1: Euy No, No, I don't think I'd be doing that, um,
Speaker 1: but but I do have you you mean, I have
Speaker 1: them high. I think Ryan Tannehill is going to have
Speaker 1: a big game. This is do or die, and when
Speaker 1: he's been leaned on and he's been, I mean, the
Speaker 1: Titans needed this guy and he's showing up. He's been,
Speaker 1: you know, arguably other than Derrick Henry, their best player
Speaker 1: and the recipe for this offensive success. So I like
Speaker 1: Dan Hill this week. I think it's a big game. Uh,
Speaker 1: they want to win it. They want to beat they
Speaker 1: want to beat Houston and take that number one spot.
Speaker 1: And I think they're gonna do it. Yeah. So I mean,
Speaker 1: if anyone's out there asking, oh well, Frank, would do
Speaker 1: you actually do it? Would you actually start Ryan Tannehill
Speaker 1: over Patrick Mahomes? I really would, Greg, I really would.
Speaker 1: I don't think that Patrick Mahomes is a percent. I
Speaker 1: still think that's lucky. You're lucky to wear out, and
Speaker 1: I would not let you do that. We don't. We
Speaker 1: didn't have Tannehill as their back, and we had Sam Donald,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have had that question. But I actually legitimately would.
Speaker 1: I think Patrick Mahomes is playing through some stuff right now.
Speaker 1: I think you could still have a solid game, something
Speaker 1: like you know, to S and two, which will put
Speaker 1: him in that you know, QB five QB six discussion.
Speaker 1: But I think Tannehill's upside is much higher. Greg, You've
Speaker 1: got something I do. I want to just ask you,
Speaker 1: how high do you have a J? Brown? This week?
Speaker 1: I have a J. Brown. I'm pulling it up right now.
Speaker 1: I have him as my wide receiver, twenty receiver too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he is a wide receiver too. So yeah, if I
Speaker 1: like Tannehill, I got to like the people that he's
Speaker 1: story him throwing the ball to Greg on the other
Speaker 1: side here if No one fan is healthy, The Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs have been a team to target all shore
Speaker 1: long with tight ends. So would you start in No
Speaker 1: A Fan or more, Andrews says e Y. I would
Speaker 1: start Mark Andrews because I don't know if No A
Speaker 1: Fans gonna play. I don't know if is gonna be
Speaker 1: effective tonight. I still do like Courtland Sutton. I think
Speaker 1: a bounce back game here this week. I think he's
Speaker 1: a wide receiver too. I do like Lindsay as an
Speaker 1: RB two as well, Royce Freeman. Nothing but a desperation
Speaker 1: flex for Eric Young and Frank Danville. My name is gregs.
Speaker 1: Going to join the game tonight. We'll see you back
Speaker 1: here tomorrow. We hope. I want to be the next

Speaker 1: Let me start out with the bit of a Thursday
Speaker 1: night preview years the Ravens and the Jets. We've gotten
Speaker 1: some questions, including our own video producer Alex Fasano was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: should I start Lamar Jackson tonight? Like? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: So he comes in, he talks about it in his
Speaker 1: update this morning with Dane and like what what do
Speaker 1: you do? And Dames like, oh, man, I agree, you
Speaker 1: got a tough decision. What is the tough decision you have?
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson? He's your horse? Ride him? Like, but I
Speaker 1: got Jimmy, j Jimmy, he's facing the falcons? Like what
Speaker 1: am I doing? Like, you've got a number one quarterback
Speaker 1: in the NFL, You've got the m v P, you
Speaker 1: got the leading Fantasy point score, You're gonna bench him.
Speaker 1: He's got this squad injury. What are they up? Thirty
Speaker 1: seven seven? And like, how do you think they're getting
Speaker 1: thirty seven points. Yeah, Market, you're just gonna score six
Speaker 1: touchs down, he said, he goes More's gonna score touchdown.
Speaker 1: I go, all right, what about the other thirty points? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what we were talking about the
Speaker 1: other day. When when it when it comes down to
Speaker 1: this point in the season, the fantasy football playoffs, people
Speaker 1: start getting crazy. Man, They start thinking all crazy kinds
Speaker 1: of things. And I get it. They evens are big
Speaker 1: favorites in this game. But for them to get up
Speaker 1: and potentially covered this spread, they're going to have to
Speaker 1: score points. And mark Ingram might score a touchdown or two.
Speaker 1: But the Jets have been good against running backs all
Speaker 1: season long. You can't bench Lamar Jackson because next thing
Speaker 1: you know, this guy throws for two or three touchdowns,
Speaker 1: he rushes for fifty sixty yards, and he does what
Speaker 1: he does every single week. He finishes the top five
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterbacks. So I understand Jimmy Garoppolo has a good matchup.
Speaker 1: There's things that you could say about Jimmy G two.
Speaker 1: Who's to say that they don't just get up big
Speaker 1: and start running the football. There with Raheem Mostard, who
Speaker 1: has been great. So I understand that all these decisions
Speaker 1: are magnified, Greg, you know it's under a microscope. This
Speaker 1: is when things matter most. It's one and done. You
Speaker 1: either win or you go home. But don't overthink it. Man.
Speaker 1: You have the fantasy m v P, you have the
Speaker 1: league MVP, and Lamar Jackson. He's got the quad injury.
Speaker 1: You gotta keep him in your lineup. You gotta go
Speaker 1: down with not everybody who's gotten you here, Greg, but
Speaker 1: you've got to go down with the Lamar Jackson ship.
Speaker 1: You just have to. I don't care about the quad injury.
Speaker 1: He's going to be fine. What say you if you
Speaker 1: have Lamar Jackson and you you have like books, don't
Speaker 1: worry about his quad is rushing and a half tonight
Speaker 1: there's seventeen and a half point favorite tonight, U e y.
Speaker 1: What do you say for those who have la Moore
Speaker 1: Jackson and you have a suitable option at Jimmy Gia,
Speaker 1: Ryan Tanney Hill, whoever, what do you say to those people?
Speaker 1: Do like Tannehill? Yeah, I mean, like Frank said, people
Speaker 1: get squarely at this time of year. There's you know,
Speaker 1: it seems like there's a lot more on the line,
Speaker 1: But this is just another fantasy game and look at
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the number one point getter and fantasy
Speaker 1: you cannot bench this guy. Um, if you believe this
Speaker 1: is the only time that he's been hurt all year,
Speaker 1: than then you're insane, especially for a running quarterback. There's
Speaker 1: definitely been games when he's been stored. There's definitely been
Speaker 1: games where he's been banged up. Um, maybe it wasn't
Speaker 1: reported or it wasn't said, but um, this one was.
Speaker 1: So they're talking about it quad injury. Anybody that's going
Speaker 1: to carry the ball and run the ball like that
Speaker 1: is going to be banged up at some point, but
Speaker 1: it hasn't mattered for this guy. You start, Lamar Jackson, No,
Speaker 1: I have sins are, but there's no quarterback better than
Speaker 1: him this year. So there's nobody that you should be
Speaker 1: starting in front of him.
