00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: in the background there. Well, if we can say, I'm

8
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: gonna could you could you couldn't wait two seconds so

9
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: teams could get through the inter hope? Nope, can't do it.

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: That That trailer I think was more exciting than one

11
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: minute of that game last night. And I think I

12
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: watched the trailer. I don't think I don't think you're

13
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: overstating that. That's not wrong. I don't think you're over

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: I think you know what. It's a setup, man, It's

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: a setup. The folks at Lucas set the game up

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: to be that beast. We don't we don't want our

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: trader to be upstaged by a football game. We don't

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: want people talking about the game tomorrow. So we're going

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: to make it so that the game is so bad,

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: uh that they they can only talk about the movie trailer.

21
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: But Michael Fabiano here as well, playing the role of

22

Speaker 1: about fourteen hours a night looking at deep waiver wire

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: uh targets so uh NFL dot com slash deep dive.

29
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: If you are in a deeper league and you need

30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: some very good sleepers, uh ranks eleven's got some good

31
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: sleepers as well. But but yeah, let's go ahead and

32
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: hit this thing, shall we. Let's react to this money

33
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: a football game. I mean, I put it out on

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Twitter that what did I just watch? It was like

35
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: a preseason game, It really was. It was the starters

36
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: played the whole games. It was so much worse than

37
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: a preseason game. Was pretty bad, But it's amazing how

38
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people like Matt money

39
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: Smith like to pooh pooh trends. Eli stinks in Philadelphia.

40
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: In his career two or fewer touchdown passes in ten

41
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: of twelve games career in the City of Brotherly Love,

42
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: and UM. A lot of people were getting on me

43
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter because I had him as a sit and

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: people were like, you spent so good? How do you

45
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: sit Eli? Do you forget that it's Eli? This is

46
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: what Eli does. He makes fantasy owners absolutely drool all

47
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: over his production for a couple of games, and then

48
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: he stinks it up. It happens with Eli Manning. Although

49
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: I would start him next week against Dallas, when he

50
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: plays in Philadelphia, you don't play Eli Manning. And you

51
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: learned that lesson last night. Eli Manning one eight nine

52
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: through the air, touched down two interceptions, just eight point

53
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: seven six Fantasy points. That is not going to get

54
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: it done. On the other side, Sam Bradford was not

55
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: much better. If quite honestly, I thought he played worse

56
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: than Eli Manning in real life. But in fantasy uh

57
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: to eighty through the air, touchdown, three interceptions, uh nine

58
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: point four fantasy points for Sam Bradford. Both quarterbacks. I

59
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: can't remember the last time I saw this. Both quarterbacks

60
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: had a quarterback rating in the low sixties. Yeah that's

61
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: not good. Yeah, you know I was. I listened to

62
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: part of that game on radio, which where it was

63
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: it was less offensive because I couldn't actually see it

64
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: for minutes for you. Um, but you know, Boomer Science

65
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: had made the point. I think it's starting to becoming

66
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: true that that it might be time to start putting

67
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford at least in the Matt Stafford Jay Cutler category,

68
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: in the sense that he's a guy who will stand

69
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: back there and he'll sling it, and that's part of

70
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: where his big plays come from. You know, he may

71
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: hit Riley Cooper downfield, he may hit a couple of

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: long passes, but Sam throwing to Riley Cooper, well, I

73
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: would like Matthews stop dropping them, stop and Bradford throwing

74
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: him horrible passes. I mean, Bradford had a couple of

75
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: opportunities to hit Matthews and he bounced him. I tweeted

76
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: last night it was like Sam Bradford's was playing a

77
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: fantasy team that has Jordan Matthews and he's trying to

78
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: limit his production. And then he fumbled too. He's been

79
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: a bust. Outside of the first couple of weeks, he's

80
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: absolutely well. I feel that way about the Eagles offense

81
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: in general. I mean, we had high expectations for this group.

82
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: And aside from you know, stretches here or there, I

83
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: mean there was that that second half stretch against the

84
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: Falcons in Week one when it looked like they had

85
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: it rolling, even though they ended up losing that game. Um,

86
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: this offense has not performed the way anybody would have

87
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 1: expected it to. On a positive note, de Marco looks

88
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: like he's back and they're getting him the football now

89
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: that is causing the value of Ryan Matthews and Darren

90
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: Sprowls to sink. In fact, Sprowls isn't even worth a

91
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: roster's standard leagues, right, and um, I don't even think

92
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: he's worth a roster pond people. He's not getting targets

93
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: at all, right, right, and um you're you're also looking

94
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: at Ryan Matthews being no more than than a bench

95
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: spot right now because they're doing what they should have

96
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: done to begin with, which is feed the guy who

97
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: they gave twenty one guaranteed dollar million dollars to one

98
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: guaranteed dollars. Yeah, you know it's early, um, but one

99
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: O nine in a touch. But it's nice to see

100
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: them utilizing him as he should be utilized. It's still

101
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: even though DeMarco got all the carries, it still looks

102
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: to me like Ryan Matthews is the better back for

103
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: this offense. So I still think he's a super by

104
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: low candidate now, especially after DeMarco has had a couple

105
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 1: of big games, right, I think owner might be soured

106
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, And I think Ryan Matthews will be

107
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: hitting the waiver wire produce soon. Yeah, He's He's a

108
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: name to keep an eye on and scoop up because

109
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: he could be a late season like fantasy savior because

110
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't even know what you would give up to

111
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: trade for Ryan Matthews. You don't trade, yeah, I mean

112
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: you could trade peanuts, trade wide four for the wider

113
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: for the running back three like somebody in some depth. Yeah,

114
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: I got you. Um one on note in a touch

115
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: like I said for to Marco and he was like Drake,

116
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: he went back to back with performances in back to back.

117
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Why you didn't like that one? Come on, that's just

118
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: going to ignore it. But Marcus gave you the audible side, James,

119
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: good for you. I have no idea what that referenced me.

120
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, that's good. Alright, So to Marco got

121
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: it going. Odell Beckham. Uh despite Eli Manning doing nothing,

122
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: I was able to all in sixty one y and

123
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He was able to fall into the end

124
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: zone quite literally. Uh. So you know, he didn't have

125
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: a great game, but you'll take You'll take twelve points. Yeah,

126
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean all that, all that came in the first half,

127
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: and at halftime you were probably feeling like, I'm gonna

128
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: have a huge nothing in the second half, you know.

129
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: And the thing was too when they got behind big,

130
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,239
Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, it's Odell time, Barber's time points, Baby,

131
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: let's do it. It's all about garbage time. Nope, nothing, No,

132
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: you have to wonder if his hamstring was catching up

133
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: to him a little bit, like looked good in pregame

134
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: warm ups, that he looked good early, but then I

135
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: would need to watch all the tape. But Nolan Carroll

136
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: was on him and O'Dell was just not getting open.

137
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: The good thing is that now he's got an extended

138
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: period of time to rest up. So he did get you,

139
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: as you guys mentioned, twelve fantasy points. And now he

140
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: gets some extended time off before a game against the Cops.

141
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: What do we do with Jordan Matthews by the way,

142
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: you don't cut him, obviously, you don't cut it. I

143
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: can't play him. And you know, you know who they're

144
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: playing next week, Josh Norman good nights, because I mean

145
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: jo is he going to cover Josh Off or Riley

146
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: Cooper or no, he's covering Jordan Matthews. Else. Can we

147
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: just talk about how crazy it is that Miles Austin

148
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: is making big plays on I am I'm losing my

149
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: mind watching Miles Austin and Riley Cooper play. Stop stop

150
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: with the insanity. What's happening? Yeah, you know, from a

151
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: non fantasy perspective, I know he loves to believe that

152
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: it's not about the players, that it's about the system.

153
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: And I guess you know what, they have a what

154
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: they're three and three, so they're leading the division. So

155
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe in his mind he feels validated.

156
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: But you need better players, you need better player or

157
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: maybe hold on, I forgot, I forgot to turn the

158
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: audio thing back up. It's early men a Star Wars hangover.

159
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: Just want to watch the world rash Jennings but had

160
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: sixty three yards on the ground twenty through the air,

161
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: but he had a fumble lost as well, and he

162
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: also dominated the backfield touches. This is why, guys, listen,

163
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: can we not talk about Shane Verreen anymore? He's not

164
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: good because we we don't talk about Shane Vereen and

165
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: then not good they're going to give him for nine

166
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: catches out of the back. The guy has had one

167
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: good game all years in standard scoring. I don't know,

168
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: we have to we might have to look at that.

169
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: Let me take a look. But he he had that

170
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: one big game where he put up pretty good numbers

171
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: in age last week, like seventeen fans point and a

172
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: lot of that. Wait wait, wait, because they're far behind.

173
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: He's had six he said nine, he said to to

174
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: seventeen and point six. He said one big game, so one. Well,

175
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: and Jennings has had eleven me like five. Jennings is

176
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: still getting the opportunities where Vereen is is mired in

177
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: a I just don't want any run. I want nothing

178
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: to do with this. I would be cutting, although I

179
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: do like Jennings next week against the Cowboys, the run

180
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: defenses trash. But uh, Shane Vereen stopped talking about him.

181
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: You know, hit mean one good game in six weeks Uh,

182
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: he's a name who's not producing. Um. Andrey Williams looks

183
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: um not great, I think pretty much. I think Andrew

184
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: Williams handoffs end in negative version. I like James is

185
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: like demeanor there. It's kind of like a rollover from

186
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: that game last night. JESU. All right there? THO about it? Eagle?

187
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: How about that? Was that was nice? Yeah? That was

188
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: nice if you played Eagles defense, Uh, owing that you

189
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: don't need to be a good real life defense to

190
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: be a good fantasy defense. But which really the case

191
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: with him last year too. They weren't a good real

192
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: life defense. They got a lot of turnovers, they scored touchdowns,

193
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: especially on punt returns and kick returns, but they gave

194
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: up a ton of yards last year and it's kind

195
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: of the same this year. They're just not getting as

196
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: many years. What did they end up with? They had

197
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: four sacks. I was gonna just gonna say, if you

198
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: end up needing to stream a defense and the Eagles

199
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: are available, if they're playing a team with the porous

200
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: offensive line, that's a good chance to grab them because

201
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: their defensive line is stout with this week against Carolina.

202
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: But you're right, yeah, no, not not this week. I'm

203
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: just saying like, they're not a completely useless fantasy deffense,

204
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: but it's going to be matchup dependent, right, excellent streamable defense.

205
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Let's talk about top headlines,

206
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: the camera highlights in the world of sports, breaking, breaking news, breaking,

207
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: continue to follow breaking news news. It is your wife.

208
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: We cannot talk about Sunday without talking first and foremost

209
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: about Eddie lay H Too much gooda, not enough Buddha.

210
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: Well maybe he's got too much Buddha too, if you

211
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Um Man, Eddie Lacey got six touches,

212
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: he did nothing, He did absolutely nothing. What do you have?

213
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: Twenty total yards? James Starks looked way better, uh than

214
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey. People are freaking out on lay I'm freaking out.

215
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: I'm freaking out too. You look at his you look

216
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: at the schedule, his upcoming schedule. What has he got?

217
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: He's got Denver, Carolina and Detroit. Denver, Carolina and Detroit

218
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: are his next three games after the bye. So you're

219
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: getting I would it be safe to say that you're

220
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: gonna get limited production? Well, you're getting nothing next week

221
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: because you know he's on a by But then after that,

222
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: Denver Carolina, Denver, Carolina, Detroit, You're in trouble. Well, Detroit.

223
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: Detroit's defense has lost a little bit of it's lust

224
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: there when they ship a lot of their ye, I

225
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: would agree to Denver Carolina. Denver. Denver running backs have

226
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: done some stuff against Denver. Caroline is the middle of

227
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: the pack when it comes to that. But you're right,

228
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: this is this is concerning. We saw this last year

229
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: with Eddie Lacey. However, you have to wonder like I was.

230
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: I was reading all the reports coming out of Green

231
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: Bay on Sunday after that, and there's a lot of

232
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: smoke going around this backfield right now from the green

233
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: Bay coaching staff because Mike McCarthy at one point said,

234
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: we're not going to give one back twenty carries. This

235
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: is a one to punch. We're gonna ride the hot hand.

236
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. So that would cause fancy

237
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: owners to be like, oh my god, abandoned ship. However, however,

238
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: Carthy said the exact same Garbo last year when Eddie

239
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: Lacy struggled out of the gates. Yeah, we've got James.

240
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: James is a great player. We're gonna ride the hot hand.

241
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: What happened the second half of the season. Bennie Lacey

242
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: ripped off yards and like nine times. I think, I

243
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: think what is the problem though, is that if you're

244
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: way um and you're waiting for production here, Like I said,

245
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: I think, over the next four weeks, you're gonna be

246
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: in trouble. You're you're if you're winning for Eddie Lacy,

247
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: over the next four weeks, you're out of the playoffs.

248
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: I mean for fantasy purposes, Sure he could come back

249
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: and have an okay season, But for fantasy purposes, what

250
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: do you do with the guy? Because literally he could

251
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: sink your entire roster. Yeah, he has I have him

252
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: in one of my leagues, and and I think I'm

253
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: I think of three and three and two or four

254
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: right now because I've also got Randall Cob. That's a

255
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: great combination to have right now. But last year, Lacey

256
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: did not score double digits until week four, and then

257
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: he had eleven. Then he had twenty five, and then

258
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: in weeks six he went back down the toilet and

259
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: had four. Then after that thirteen, eighteen, seventeen, eleven, twenty two.

260
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: So he started to pick it up after a week six.

261
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: But he wasn't as heavy last year as he was

262
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: this year, and the matchups, as Alex and James have mentioned,

263
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: don't bode well for him bouncing back. So listen, don't

264
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: get nuts and cut him. But necessarily you're not necessarily

265
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: starting him every week either. He's a matchup based guy

266
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: at this point until things change. And we've seen that

267
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: with a lot of big names this year in that quarterback,

268
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: a lot of them running back. I was I was

269
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: looking at this yesterday Anderson, I'm looking at the top

270
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: twenty five scores. Overall scores, there are three running backs.

271
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: One of them is Jamal Charles, who's on I R.

272
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: And the rest of the remind me of that. I mean,

273
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: that's a graveyard. It is a graveyard for running backs

274
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: because either you have guys, you have guys like Marshawn

275
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: Lynch and Eddie Lacey who haven't been a hundred percent

276
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: and haven't played very well this year, and you've got

277
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys who have been in committees. I mean,

278
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: the overall leading score is Devonte Freeman, a guy that

279
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people cut after Week two because it

280
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: looked like Tevin Coleman was taken over in that back field.

281
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean it, it makes no sense. It's like a

282
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: ubiquitous problem. But back to to Lacy, one of the

283
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: things I would I would advise against is trying to

284
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: trade him right now, because, honest to god, what's his

285
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: trade value? You you're not going to get anything. It's

286
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: a lot smarter to just wait and see. Is it

287
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: going to be painful? Are you going to be wanting

288
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: to put him on blast on Twitter? Likely? Twitter was

289
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: blaze You guys, listen with fantasy the NFL players don't

290
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: give a crap about your fantasy team. Don't tweet at

291
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: them if they if they heard it, all right, why

292
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: are you? Why are people at tweeting? And I don't

293
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: like that they tweet a lot of people like, just

294
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: don't do it. Let's not be a bigger person being

295
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: adult or haven't you been on Twitter? And oh yeah,

296
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: I have no problem. It is loaded with just knucklehead

297
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: more on. But that's why form as a p s

298
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: a to say, don't do that. I don't mind the

299
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: jokes and the jokes memes great, don't guyause that's not

300
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: because number one fantasy football is so good for the NFL.

301
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: It's so much fun. And let's face it, it's a game.

302
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: It's a game chill. It's like all the idiots who

303
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: were sending death threats to that poor partner for Michigan.

304
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: It's a game. Chill alright, So fantasy's fun. A little

305
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: more on Eddie Lacy before we move on. Don't beat

306
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: a dead horse here. He has been in his career too,

307
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: a volume back, one of those backs like Marshawn that

308
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: needs carries to get going and then and then gets going.

309
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: And he hasn't had that because he's been injured. Right now,

310
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: McCarthy mentioned it too. He said, Eddie's like our whole team,

311
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: which is why Randall Cobb's been struggling. That whole Packer's

312
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: offense is banged up. It's not just Jordy Nelson being him.

313
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: Montgomery goes him. Montgomery is an ankle spraining, James Jones

314
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: is a hamstrup, has a shoulder, Eddie as an ankle.

315
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: Their offensive linemen are injured. So this by came at

316
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: a perfect time. Wait with Eddie, when why he's done

317
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: so well in the last couple of years, Late in

318
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: the season too, is because you know what Eddie's perfect

319
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: for old weather games, old weather football. When the packers

320
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: are trying to salt it. Is that why he's loading

321
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: up on the cars. Probably that is all well and good,

322
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: but James mentioned I mean, this is the guy that

323
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: you spent the high first round pick on, and if

324
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: if you're not if if you don't have him, you're

325
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: not really playing for anything late in the season. That's

326
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: the problem exactly. See what you're talking about, Alex Is.

327
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: It's almost like it's almost like a Rhodo fantasy league

328
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: right where you're like, oh, hey, at the end of

329
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: the season, the stats are gonna compile and it's gonna

330
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: be great. Unfortunately, fantasy football it's not like that. That's Fortunately,

331
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: fantasy football is a week by week affair. I'm also

332
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: hoping people like we're able to draft well enough where

333
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: one pick didn't sink their roster because I have all

334
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: of my leagues, I have one of these people that

335
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: has tanked it. But you have to draft hopefully drafted well.

336
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: I want to stay on the waiver wire too, But

337
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: a lot of times I guarantee a lot of people

338
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: who drafted Andrew Lucker, probably Antonio Brown right now, right right,

339
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think the biggest problem with that,

340
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: even though he got hurt, you know, it's still not

341
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: he's not there for you. I'll just say this, the

342
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: biggest problem with that Eddie Lacy probably isn't even Eddie Lacey.

343
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: It's the coaching staff because there there there's no injury

344
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: reports surrounding Eddie Lacey at all. It took coming into

345
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: this week, coming to this week, Eddie Lacy reportedly was

346
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: a full go, ready to rock and roll. It was

347
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: a classic Bill Bilch move. Not cool, not cool, Mike McCarthy.

348
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean, is they don't care about our fancy team.

349
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: They want they want the Chargers to be like, oh man,

350
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey is a full go, we gotta plan to

351
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: stop him. Not cool. So that's really what And that's

352
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: and again it's not an Eddie Lacey thing. It's a

353
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy thing to me anyways. But you played him

354
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: last week thinking, Okay, he's got a soft Chargers run defense,

355
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna go wild, and we saw a green running

356
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: back a wild Unfortunately it wasn't. Unfortunately the running starks

357
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: looks amazing on my bench right now. Amazing. He had

358
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: he had two big plays, one of which was horrible

359
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: defense by the Chargers. Let's slow down with the amazing

360
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 1: talk like Adrian Peterson in the Green and Gold, right,

361
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: the whole James Starks thing too, when the Green Bay

362
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: Packers do come back from there by, how much confidence

363
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: do you have in starting James Stark's honestly none, because

364
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: you never know. Maybe the bye week is is good

365
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: for Lacy, he gets a little healthier and boom, he

366
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: gets twenty carries. So or you play him and he

367
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: gets five carries. But you know what, though, this is

368
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: like why fantasy football is both frustrating and fun and

369
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: your season is over. Alright, let's talk about Marcus Mariota's

370
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: day to day with a spring m c l. He

371
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: took a nasty shot, yeah I was. I mean, first

372
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: of all, good for him. He's got the cajnes to

373
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: try to step back in there and finish that game off.

374
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: But what is the coaching staff thinking. I don't know

375
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: they know why they put him back in there. It

376
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: makes no sense. What put Zack me Mettenberger out there?

377
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: Mariota get healthy and the game was getting out of hand. Anyways,

378
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: I didn't understand. I didn't understand that play. But that's fine. Um,

379
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: other than Marcus Mariotta, the wide receiving corpse just a

380
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: total you know, pick a name out of a hat.

381
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: So it's not really Uh, I don't think that whole

382
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: team Delanny Walker is the only guy you can really

383
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: trust on that whole team. He had a good game. Yeah,

384
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: I mean in a PPR league, he's a tight end

385
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: one for sure. Um, but like Mariota has been struggling.

386
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: He came out of the gate really hot. But as

387
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: we kind of expected, it looks like a NFL defense

388
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: is caught up to him. Him supporting cast has gotten exposed.

389
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: So it's it's tough to I mean, especially with this injury,

390
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: you might want to like even cut him loose and

391
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: look for somebody else to help you out. Yeah. I

392
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: have him in one league, and uh I'm throwing him

393
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: out back onto the waiver wire. Oh, there's absolutely no

394
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: reason other than that. I don't know that he's gonna

395
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: play a number two. Atlanta's defense against the past has

396
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: been pretty good this year, so you're not playing him. Regardles,

397
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: I would say one thing that's encouraging out of Tennessee

398
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: lately is they're actually starting to use Doyo Greenbackham go figure,

399
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: using that huge, super talented wide receiver that they drafted.

400
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: He's been He started out the season at like fifteen

401
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: percent of the offensive snaps and now he's up to

402
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: like fifty ish. But do you really believe I mean,

403
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: I'm not saying pick him up and start him, but

404
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: just keep keep an eye on him, because I feel like,

405
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: you know, hey, man, this tense Titan se. Then they

406
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: got some good young talented receivers like kimdall Wright and

407
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: Justin Hunter. They're on their way up. And now we're like, hey,

408
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 1: look they're using Yal Green. But I feel like he's

409
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: gonna fall into that same abyss that Kenny Britt, right,

410
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: that just Hunter fell into. Kenny Britt was tearing it

411
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: up with the Titans before he tore his a c

412
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: l if you're right, No, you're absolutely right. And then

413
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: it's just never been the same. Yeah, he had that.

414
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: I think it was his third year. Yeah, and and

415
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: uh and he and he was great and then the

416
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: knee went and that kind of just Justin Hunter is bad.

417
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: He's bad at football. Doyle Greenbeckham, it's it's better at

418
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: football than Justin Hunter, so I have more faith in that.

419
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: But you're right, Marcus, we could beat saying the same

420
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: crap uh to the Steelers that Big Ben could play

421
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: in week seven if not Landry Jones is there. Mike

422
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: Vick told the d kinkab Wally he's got a what

423
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: a very small partial cables hampstream, so he's at least

424
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: a week away. And Dion Sanders said on game day

425
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: final that he thinks this is the last time we're

426
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: going to see Mike Vick. Lan Jones is gonna starting.

427
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: I thought that was last year to be. Landry Jones

428
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: is gonna be starting this week. Um, if Robinsburger can't go,

429
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even care Vic is able

430
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: to go or not. Landry Jones gave that offensive spark.

431
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: They played arguably one of the five best teams in

432
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: the league and beat them without their quarterback and basically

433
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: without their number one wide receiver because he did nothing.

434
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: They had six passing yards in the first half the game.

435
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: In the half half, six passing yards thirty minutes of football. Man,

436
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you it makes what Mark Tavis Bryant did

437
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: even more insane. He's a beast because what he did

438
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: those two that two touchdown performance was all in the

439
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: second half. Man, it was incredible. But if Landry Jones starts, uh,

440
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 1: he's at least interesting. They're playing the Chiefs, dude. So like,

441
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: if you're a quarterback, streamer or in a two QB

442
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: league or you got you know, because this is a

443
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: tough week for Byes. You've got Aaron Rodd, a lot

444
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: of guys on Andy Dalton, j Cutler and Peyton Manning

445
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: on by. But if you have one of those guys

446
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: and he was her only quarterback, you know, the waiver

447
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: wire might be thin. Yeah, Landry Jones is a sneaky pickup,

448
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: and I like it. Guys have a lot more faith

449
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: than I do. I mean, I like the Seavers, you know.

450
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that no Todo Brown can

451
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: bounce back. I like that that, you know, Martavis Bryant

452
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: can make some plays. I'm I'm looking at like Ryan Fitzpatrick,

453
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Blake Bortles. There are several guys I'm

454
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: not question. I just you know, because I feel like

455
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: it could be one of those games where Bryant and

456
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: Brown have nice games, but Landry Jones can still throw

457
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: three picks, and I just I don't don't. I'm saying

458
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: that because there's a lot of leagues where people stash

459
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks like none of us advise it. I mean, I'm

460
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: like a one quarterback guy for the most part. But

461
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: there are leagues where people have two or three quarterbacks

462
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: like I have, like friends and casual leagues that are like,

463
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: who do I start this week? Out of Eli Manning,

464
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, Russell Wilson. I'm like, what the heck are

465
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: you doing with all three of those quarterbacks? But I

466
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: don't know about three, but two's all right? Yeah, two

467
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: could be because well no. Two is good because you

468
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: gotta I mean, in in a lot of leagues, you

469
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: can't just if you've got Andy Dalton and Eli Manning,

470
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: that's not bad. You can't drop either one and drop

471
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: Eli and Keithing. You never thought i'd hear those words?

472
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: Is that? Did I know? And you know what? And

473
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: after after Dalton went in and did what he did

474
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: in the Seahawks, uh must start everywey, I said, you

475
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: know what, right, and and I talked about that and

476
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: actually I wrote about that and start him and said him.

477
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: Then he goes to Buffalo Okay, Buffalo's defense is overrated,

478
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: at least for me from a fantasy perspective. But it's still,

479
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, not a terrible defense. And it's a road

480
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: game and he goes in there and has another big game.

481
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: So to me, unless you've got Brady and Dalton or

482
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: Rogers and Dalton, of course Rodgers is don't by this week.

483
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: Number one, you should be trading one of them. Number two,

484
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: Dalton's got to be in your lineup every week until

485
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: the wheels fall off. I mean, but but I think

486
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: that's why people have that second quarterback. They're just waiting

487
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: wheels to fall off. And maybe and maybe you trade

488
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: him right now. Look, I don't think. I don't think

489
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: they're falling off. It's not it's not like Aaron Rodgers

490
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady suddenly slapped on Andy Dalton's jersey and

491
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: dyed their hair red. He just he was always said,

492
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: okay quarterback, but now he has his full complement of weapons.

493
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: He has the best offensive line in football. Buffalo didn't

494
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: touch him. That Buffalo passed rush with Mario Williams and

495
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: all those guys over there didn't touch Dalton in Buffalo.

496
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: The run game is strong obviously, but when you got

497
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: a J Green, Marvin Jones, mohammeds and new Tyler I

498
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: for I mean, and those running backs catching the ball. Yeah, exactly,

499
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: it's that he it's so hard to get to the

500
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: quarterback when the guys getting the ball out to to

501
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: one of his amazing playmakers at all times. So it's

502
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: a good situation. It's a great situation for for Red

503
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: Dalton there. But and you're right, he he he isn't

504
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: must start until further notice. All right, Sammy Watkins is

505
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: in London. He arrived in a boot after spraining his

506
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: ankle after catching a twenty two yard touchdown. Um. Great

507
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: focus on his part, by the way, I mean when

508
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: anyone who has sprained an ankle knows, I mean it's

509
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: it feels like death on your lower leg. For him

510
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: to be able to maintain focus and catch a ball

511
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: while going to the ground, great focus on his part. Uh.

512
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: He ended up with ten Fantasy points, I believe uh

513
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: in that game. But he arrives in London, you gotta

514
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: think it's a stretch for him to play because I

515
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: don't even hurt the swelling, I don't get it. Yeah,

516
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: And Percy Harvin's hurt too. So even if Tyrod Taylor

517
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: comes back with a great matchup, his weapons are going

518
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: to be well, not what they could be. No will

519
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: they will not be out. Chris Hogan, Chris Hogan, you

520
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: got the Chris is Chris Hogan, gregs sixty yards? I believe. No,

521
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: you don't. Uh no, you don't. If you've got Sammy Watkins,

522
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: I think even if he is activated, I don't, I don't.

523
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: I don't think you play him. No, yeah, not with

524
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: an ankle, not with an injury like this so close. Yeah,

525
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: I don't see it all right. Jimmy Graham, Hello, hey,

526
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: look look what happens when you throw the ball to

527
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: your good players. Throw it to your good players. I

528
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: really hope this is the start of something good. I

529
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: hope this is the start of something uh for this team,

530
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: for Jimmy Graham. Because it was funny, I tweeted. I

531
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know who this Seattle tight end is,

532
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: but he looks a lot like Jimmy Graham to me.

533
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: Did he finish with over a hundred receiving yards? Oh

534
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,479
Speaker 1: my gosh, Wow, I wasn't watching that game that closely,

535
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: but wow, one forty for Jimmy Graham. He lives. He

536
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: lives for one week, alright, So so what do we

537
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: make of Jimmy grahams perform his fabs over here? Uh? Listen, man,

538
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: And he had one good game, like you know, I

539
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: think what he They played six games and three of

540
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: them have been awful, right, have been absolutely and three

541
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: have been I mean, but aside from the barnyard dog

542
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: who's given you consistent production weekend week out. From the

543
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: tight end position, there's grown, there's a barnage. That's it.

544
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: That's it. Okay, ifort one egg other than I'd rather

545
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: I'd rather trade Graham, get an upgrade at running back

546
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: or a wide receiver if my team needs one, and

547
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: then start Charles Clay. I'll tell you right now, there's

548
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: a lot of Jimmy Graham. There's a lot of leagues

549
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: where you can move Jimmy Graham for Tyler Effort because

550
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: guys aren't paying attention. Tyler eiffort Is is still not

551
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: a name. Jimmy Graham still is a name. He's coming

552
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: off a big one forty performance. Like you said, Um,

553
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: I'd at least if if if I'm in a league,

554
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: I at least test that market. At least test the

555
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: market and see what's out there. He's the sixth ranked

556
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: tight end. Who Jimmy Graham is Graham? Where's Tyler Eiffort's third?

557
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: But Graham's got He's got three double digit games out

558
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: of six. I mean, yes, I know, it's it's not

559
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: he's not that Jimmy Graham we're used to seeing. And

560
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: he's also not worth his his draft position. But you

561
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: when you compare him to other tight ends, he's there.

562
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: He's there, He's there. We just you know, we got

563
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: used to Jimmy Graham giving you, you know, fifteen points

564
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: a week. You know, the floor for him being you know,

565
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: nine or ten points that that obviously isn't there now.

566
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: But comparative to all the other tight ends in the game,

567
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: he's right. Right. But here'll tell you, I'll tell another

568
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: guy you could try to move if you create him,

569
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: if you're trying to trade him now, Like, okay, Charles

570
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: Clay has two fewer points, Ladarius Green has three fewer points,

571
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: Martella Spennett has five fewer points. So it's not like

572
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: he's blowing people in. Charles Clay, you're not gonna I mean,

573
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: it's trading for him. You're not getting Charles Clay, you're

574
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,959
Speaker 1: not getting Martella Spenne. You might not get live there

575
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna. I mean, if if you're dealing to what

576
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying, there's other human ends out there that there's

577
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: not is what I'm saying is that you're you're really,

578
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: you're really dumpster diving if you're trying to stream tight

579
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: ends right now, but you don't believe in Derek Carrier

580
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: like you're talking about streaming. I mean a lot of

581
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: people will have a backup tight end who's been pretty good.

582
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: So you could you could have. You could have Graham

583
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: and Barnet, you could have and Iford could have and

584
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: Charles Clay absolutely. Going from a straight math perspective, I

585
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: think what um MG is saying is, look, if you're

586
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: giving up what is the averaging here, like eight points

587
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: a game or something. Um Yeah, So if you're trading

588
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham and you're and you're moving those eight points

589
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: a game and you're trying to maybe manufacturer tight end

590
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire, are you gonna pick up the

591
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: slack by trading him at a different position? I guess

592
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: you gotta do the the the own your own metrics

593
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: in your head and figure out the math and and

594
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: see if it's all worth it. But I think I

595
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: think what both of you guys are saying is correct. Though.

596
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: Um Honestly, Fabs, if I have Jimmy Graham, I'm looking

597
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: to move him in because he's still got great name

598
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: values coming off of a huge game. I think you

599
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: can still get a pretty decent value out of the guy.

600
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: But Marcus, you're right, you gotta be real careful, man,

601
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: because if you're not getting good value back, tight end

602
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: is a scary place. Oh my god, I'm are with

603
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: Marcus on this where I'd rather I'd rather keep him.

604
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: I have two tight ends in a handful of leagues

605
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: where I took like late upside guys. But for a lot,

606
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: for a lot of places, if you don't have that luxury,

607
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: do not give up Jimmy Graham, I think. But here's

608
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: the thing, man, Um, it could tow Fabs's point. There's

609
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: a lot of bad wide receiver two's out there too,

610
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: a lot of bad ones, Um, And if you could

611
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: move Jimmy Graham and upgrade your wide receiver to spot

612
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: it's it's at least an interesting proposition. Like I said, man,

613
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: you gotta figure out your own league and and do

614
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: the math in your head. But I think both of

615
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: these general men are correct. You just you got to

616
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: proceed with caution though. That's that's what I will say.

617
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Megatron Mega Tron. He's alive,

618
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: Megatron Live. I feel like the the theme for this

619
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: segment of the podcast could be throw it to your

620
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: good players. Really should be. That should just be the

621
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: theme for this segment of the podcast. I love that

622
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford went back to old Matt Stafford just said, whatever,

623
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: you're covered, it's cool. I'm just gonna toss the offense.

624
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: Finally said, hey, Matt, you're not We're not doing anything

625
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: with this dank and dunk offense. Why don't you just

626
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: suck it down the field like you did for I

627
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: threw out a prognaction prognostication. He's gonna chuck it deep again.

628
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: Is not going to do well this week. I got

629
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: Stafford against the Vikings. Probably, yeah, he's not. Don't start him.

630
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: Don't be fooled. If you look at his history playing

631
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. I believe it's in Detroit this week.

632
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: It is not good and the Vikings defense is underrated.

633
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,239
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely got a not bad at all. So if

634
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: you got excited about Stafford, you might want to put

635
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: a put a little halt on. Well what were you?

636
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: But I mean, what are you saying, uh, temper expectations

637
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: for Megatron? No, no, no, no no, you're starting Megatron. I

638
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: mean there's a huge difference there. Matt Stafford can have

639
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: a garbage game of Megatron, could still give you twelve points.

640
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: Well as we saw the lime hank and right, yeah

641
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: yeah so but but Stafford, it was nice. Very few

642
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: people benefited from it, very few. But every expect the

643
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: week before. Not expect that again. Let's just put it

644
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: that way, at least not this week. Oh man, I

645
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: like I said, I just love the fact that he's

646
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: just tossing it up there and just telling guys to

647
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: go get it. Also, don't go pick up lance More.

648
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: Remember when he was a thing. But he's got the

649
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: best touchdown dances in the league. No, I don't know.

650
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: Steve Smith's pee wee Herman was pretty good. No, Lancemore

651
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: has a history of awesome touchdown dances that he takes

652
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: from various inspirations, whether it's Chapelle, he takes a lot

653
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: from but I feel like everybody, as much as we

654
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: all love the Steve Smith dance, I'm sure everyone under

655
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: the twenty was like, what is That's a good point.

656
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask the podcast listeners out there. Are are

657
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: fabulous podcast listeners. Do you guys know what the Pete

658
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: wee Hermann is? Um? No, jeez, they may think of

659
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: something else that's true, yeah, um, because he's probably I

660
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: don't think they know that. No, I don't. That's probably

661
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: outside day. I don't. I don't actually don't think. I

662
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: don't think people know that anymore. Now I'll carry the chair. Um,

663
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: I love that show that Who didn't? First of all, I'm,

664
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, mid thirties, But who didn't have a ball

665
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: of foil? I know you're just gonna make to Laurence

666
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: Fishburn's cowboy Curtis. Oh, I forgot about that. I forgot.

667
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: That's a great pool. But no, the ball of foil,

668
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: I try to make a giant honestly, have no idea

669
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: what that is. Yeah, I don't know what the ball

670
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: boil is. You didn't have a ball of foil? Aren't

671
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: the only one? I didn't. I had a rubber band ball.

672
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: I didn't have a ball of foil, man, I feel

673
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: we move on. You know what I used to do

674
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: is like I used to take the crust off of

675
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: wonderbread and like smush it into a big ball, right

676
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: until it was all doughy. I had that ball. I

677
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: didn't have a ball at foil. How am I in

678
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: a room of four gentlemen. It's just become the sad

679
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: childhood pop with tin foil. No I played with bread,

680
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: I played with and then my mother would yell and

681
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: we're all going to break into a chorus of hard

682
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: knock life, right right, alright, fine, we moved on. Let's

683
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: talk about Denver Hillman taking the lead. There in the

684
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: Denver backfield, he had over a hundred rushing yards. I

685
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: think one eleven. If I'm not mistaken. C J. Anderson

686
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: drop him. Oh seriously, Marcus is rust time. It's time.

687
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: I know, and I know it hurts. I know you

688
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: probably spent a second round pick on him. Think of

689
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: it like like like a band aid. Just rip it off,

690
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: just just hit drop close, yes, drop and don't look back. Marcus.

691
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: Drop Marcus dropping Marcus is right right time. The better

692
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: running back spend six weeks. He looks like garbage. I

693
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 1: know he's a cow guy and you don't want to, uh,

694
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: you know, rip that band aid off, as Mark just said,

695
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: but you should do it. I mean, listen, he's been

696
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: able to do zero to make his case to be

697
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: a closer, more closer to a featured back in Denver

698
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: like he was last year. I don't know if maybe

699
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: like it's a different dude, because it looks completely like

700
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: a different guy. What's a different offense? Well, I I

701
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: understand it's a different offense, but I mean you go

702
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 1: from averaging what seventeen eighteen fantasy points a game to nothing.

703
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: He's two point seven nothing. And I've been saying this

704
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. Listen, Ronnie Hillman is the

705
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: guy to own in Denver. I'm not saying he's an

706
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: RB one or even an RB two, but he's a

707
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: heck of a lot better than C. J. Anderson is

708
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: right now. He is, uh, he is barely rosterable and

709
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: in a ten team league. I don't I don't know,

710
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 1: cutting better than C. J. Anderson. He's this is still

711
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: the same Ronnie Hellman we've seen before, but I understand that.

712
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: But Ronnie Hillman has been what he had that big

713
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: run a couple of weeks ago. This week he had

714
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: over a hundred yards. I mean, you can't argue it's

715
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 1: a backfield split because quite frankly, Ronnie Hillman is not

716
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: good in pass pro um and you know we're at

717
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: the point where Peyton Manning needs as much protection as possible.

718
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: Um So yeah, so you know, I agree with you.

719
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: Hillman's definitely taking the lead in the backfield. Um. He's

720
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: absolutely worth an ad. What's super interesting is that c

721
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 1: Anderson was the one that was on in crunch time

722
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: in like fourth quarter and over time, doing those carries

723
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: when they when they had more important offensive series to go.

724
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: So I don't know, this is just this is ugly

725
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: situations in the backfield I'm avoiding all together. Are you

726
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: cutting C. J. Anderson? Maybe if I got to pick

727
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: up Ronnie Hillman, I don't have many leadus, but I

728
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: I I'm done, Um, I've had. I don think I'm

729
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: cutting him for the reason. The reason I'm saying I'm

730
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: not cutting him though, is because the waiver wire, especially

731
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: this week, I think is pretty bare. It's getting Yeah,

732
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: it's getting bare out there, like it's like a desert

733
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: right now. Last week. There was a lot of hot

734
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: Waiver Wire adds a bunch this week. When I was

735
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: starting those columns on Sunday, I was like, what in

736
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: the hell? Yeah, because, yeah, the Waiver Wire this week

737
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: looks like a deep sleeper segment. It's not Alex. Alex

738
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: is doing the waiver Wire column for the first time

739
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: this year. I've been doing it, and um, you're learning.

740
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: Oh no, I know this happened last year because I

741
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: would always do that. I would do the deep waiver

742
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: Wire column after your column. So at this point, you

743
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: know last year too, you would be taking all my

744
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: guys from the deep column and I'd be like, come on, fabs,

745
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: like I supposed to write about gets. It gets hard

746
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: to to pick guys off the waiver So but that's

747
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: why I'm saying, I don't know if C. J. Anderson's

748
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: a drop now he's also he doesn't look the same guy.

749
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: He had been dealing with injuries and stuff. He had

750
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: the toe of the foot thing coming out of a bye.

751
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: Who knows what will happen, Like, they have to realize,

752
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: they have to be self aware that they can't keep

753
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: chucking it fifty times a game with Peyton Manning I mean,

754
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: speaking of people, I dropped, I dropped Peyton man which

755
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: I said it like to people are definitely holding onto

756
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: him for for no reason. I thought it was really

757
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: cute how you said they realized they can't keep checking

758
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 1: with Peyton Manning, because I think I think Peyton looks

759
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: in there every every day and he says, you're good enough,

760
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: your arm is strong enough and dog gone it, you

761
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: can get that ball down field. Like I just think

762
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: he has these daily affirmations, except he can't allow him

763
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: to throw at forty times a week. Man weird. Manning

764
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: has been outscored by Brian Hoyer this year in Fantasy

765
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: and has started every game. Manning has had four single

766
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: digit games. He only in the first what six weeks?

767
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 1: He only had three all of last year. Dude, He's

768
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: not even averaging ten points a game in his last eleven. Yeah,

769
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: it's not good, roster. It's over, my friends. I hate

770
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: to say it. It's over. And then and then I

771
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: feel like the Tom Brady thing is gonna happen. Tom

772
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: Brady had a four game stretch of being bad. Peyton's

773
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: had eleven. All right, it's almost triple No, It's like

774
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 1: I would drop him for for car, for Ortles, for

775
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: Darni or anybody who's starting. Yeah, not Alex Smith, not

776
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: alexth not Alex Smith, mostly because I don't want to

777
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: have to watch Alex. Just actually, that was a good

778
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: accidental segue into the next segment. Chief's offense, that offense.

779
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: Oh they're in trouble, dude, No, Jamal Charles, Jeremy lester Man.

780
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: I am. I'm really happy I spent my number one

781
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: waiver priority on Charchandrick West. I'm super happy about that.

782
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: That was pretty good. Um, you know, I was on

783
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: the part, big, huge, huge I was. I was on

784
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: this podcast last week saying I I bid ninety dollars

785
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: of my hundred dollar fab to go pick up Charchandrick West.

786
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: I was amazingly saved because somebody else bid ninety one dollars.

787
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: I just felt like this was not going to work out.

788
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: I mean, people were so hyped a bot and I

789
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: just I don't know. I don't think you don't believe it.

790
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: I believe question. I don't know that people were hyped

791
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: about it. It was more here's the next guy up,

792
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: the next guy who could see volume. We don't know

793
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: exactly how talented he is, but you've got to take

794
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: a chance. You gotta take a chance on the opportunity

795
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: that should never know when you're going to get the

796
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: next same Kangato. Well, this guy did not look like

797
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: same Kangato. He he looked like Sam con second reference

798
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: of Sam Kangato on this podcast is it not? It is?

799
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: It is? It is? Which is? I feel like we

800
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: should name some sort of like fantasy award after Sam

801
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: Kango Superper Sam Kangato is back in the in the

802
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: two thousands would have been like two thousand. It was

803
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: two thre so the Packers basically lost all three of

804
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: the first running backs on their depth chart to injuries. Um.

805
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: And then you have Sam Kangata who comes off of

806
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: the practice squad. No one thinks he's got a shot

807
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: to do anything. Four weeks stretch, he was better than

808
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: Ladanian Tomlinson, and Ladanian Tomlinson was the king of Kings

809
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: in fantasy football at this it was it was two thousand.

810
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 1: It was Tony Richard got hurt. They had a mod

811
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: Green got hurt um um. And they also had I

812
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: think it was who was the the other running back?

813
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: The third one was that year there was another running

814
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: back the back. It was actually the back of Nagi Davenport.

815
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Who was face? Really want to

816
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: mention the closet? Yes? So uh, let's see he had

817
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: in a one, two, three, five six games stretch. He

818
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: had over sixty yards and a touchdown in five of

819
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: those games. Here were some of his lines. Sixty two

820
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: and a touch a hundred and three, two rushing touchdowns

821
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: and a receiving touchdown, a hundred and eleven, a rushing

822
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: touchdown seventy five, a rushing touchdown buck seventy one, and

823
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: a rushing alex who was against the Eagles? Right? Was

824
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: it a bad game or a good gay? Right? So?

825
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: And I remember that too because I was working at

826
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: sports Line at the time and I remember that year

827
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles were brutally tough on running backs on their

828
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: home field, and so everyone was like, this is where

829
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: the Sam kin goatto. In the week before, he only

830
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: had ten rushes for seven yards, and he went nuts

831
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: on him. He went nuts on him. So now everyone

832
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: knows who Sam Kangatto is. That's funny, Sam con And

833
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: I remember that too because I was It was super

834
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: annoying to see the guy who had Sam con Gatto

835
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: just right and gotto. I think I don't know that

836
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: he ever played a significant role on any other team.

837
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: He went to the Texans, but he was he's a

838
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: very intelligent dude. I think it was in medical. Yeah,

839
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: he wanted to be a doctor. He used and I

840
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: think he did afterwards. He used his NFL paychecks to

841
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: finish like medical school and go be a doctor. That's legit.

842
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: I know he was. It was such an awesome story,

843
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: like he came out of nowhere. It was like, oh,

844
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: this is fun. I'm gonna take this money and be

845
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: a doctor and do something to help the world. And

846
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: then he went into that. That was amazing. Yeah, that's dope.

847
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: I like, pretty cool. But yeah, we'll figure out some

848
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: sort of Sam con Gatto Awards since I like you

849
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: should do that. Hey, it's an amazing names random play

850
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: are we've dropped multiple times? Yes, Um, we'll go back

851
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: along any Sam Concado uh nominees this year, not yet.

852
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: I have to think about to think about that right now.

853
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: Gotta be Dion Lewis, Dean Lewis right, I mean, it's

854
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: a running back in there. He's he wasn't drafted in

855
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 1: the leagues. Yeah, he's But I mean, does the Ghatta

856
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: Award have to be running back who comes in and

857
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: plays well in the absence of an injured starter or

858
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: matters just some random no name dude coming up out

859
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: of nowhere and just performing. I think Dean Lewis fits

860
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: the Freeman then too, well, I feel like it has

861
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: to be somebody who you know, has a short but bright.

862
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 1: It's like a coment, you know, comes and goes very quick.

863
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: That's true, all right, we'll think about it. Twitter. I

864
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: like it. I like it. But getting back to the

865
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: Chief's offense, man, um, it's a it's a mess. Uh.

866
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin's got a concussion. He was, I mean knocked

867
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: out cold in that game. So I would be really

868
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: surprised if he plays this monitor how he goes through

869
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: the protocol all right, yeah, because if he plays, he's

870
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: a must start against the Steelers defense, the past defense.

871
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: I just not so I would have serious um reservations

872
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: at that he gets through the protocol and he was

873
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: knocked out cold. If you and if you need a

874
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: desperation spot start for him at the waiverwards. Then Albert Wilson,

875
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: the guy behind him who was their number two. He

876
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: had I think four of his targets last week come

877
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: after Macklin went down, and one of him was a

878
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: forty two yard touchdown. If if Macklin doesn't go, my

879
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 1: danger zone guy will be Chris Conny one. Mr Chris Yeah,

880
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: darkling duck drop. That's right, man, we are. We're just

881
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: full chock full of old school references today. By the way,

882
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: I also like that Marcus got it real um under

883
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: under the radar there with his deep sn L reference

884
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: as well. That was pretty solid. Let's talk about the

885
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: waiver wire, shall we. We We talked about Ronnie Hillman. Uh,

886
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: if he's out there, he's absolutely worth an ad. He's

887
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: probably gone in most leagues, but that's okay. Uh. If

888
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: he's out there, he was on he was owned in

889
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,479
Speaker 1: a bunch's he's worth a stash. Like. I'm not high

890
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: on him and his talent, but given his opportunity and

891
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: volume in that offense right now, you got add also

892
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: keep on mind too that he could end up being

893
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: put back on the waiver wire because Denver is off

894
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: this week's people, they have to cut hnds to fill

895
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: a starting Exactly why I put him Exactly why I

896
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: put him on there to to scoop him up, and

897
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: same with James Stark. James starks Is it's the same deal. Um, yeah,

898
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 1: a lot of folks have already picked up James Stark's

899
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: because Eddie Lacy had that ankle scare and his production

900
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: has been anything but stellar. So James Darks is out

901
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: there as well. Um, how about Stefon Diggs. Man, We've

902
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: talked about him. Last week. Stefan Diggs went out there

903
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 1: and just absolutely lit it up. He looked at the

904
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: best wide receiver on the field. And of course, this

905
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: is what's so frustrating about the NFL. Like you were saying,

906
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't an Eddie problem before, it was a McCarthy problem.

907
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: Stefen Diggs look at the best wide receiver on the

908
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: Vike Kings for two weeks in a row, their last

909
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: two games, and Mike Simmer yesterday said in the press, Yeah,

910
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't know Stefan Dix is gonna take keep the

911
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 1: starting role when Charles Johnson gets back healthy. Like great

912
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: wanted to throw everything at my desk. I was like,

913
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: come on, Mike, I feel like Charles Johnson was the

914
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: most over hyped player in the history of fantasy football.

915
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 1: Who's stunk? Darryl Patterson who never just said well Cordero

916
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: showed some flashes as the end. Yeah. No, he had

917
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: a couple of really nice games, really nice game, good

918
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: zize speed guy. He was beating good cornerbacks. He had

919
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: a rapport with Teddy. I mean my major problem, my

920
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: major problem with him was was basic route running and

921
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: suspect hands. But Stefan, what else would you want out

922
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: of a widers? Like? Well, I thought I was. I

923
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: liked him. I mean I thought his draft position was good.

924
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: He had d game in his whole career. Man, I

925
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: mean he wasn't that good. He was never that good. Well,

926
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 1: we're not good at our jobs. If we can't forecast

927
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: guys ahead like that, right, it does that's people nothing

928
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: if after Antonio Brown drop were like, hey, that's what

929
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like, you could also say that Charles Johnson

930
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: was overhyped, and I mean he got he did get

931
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 1: a little hype. He got banged up though, So I

932
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: mean let's not bury ourselves for it, right, Uh. I

933
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: didn't like him. Stefon Diggs extremely productive wide receiver at Maryland. UM.

934
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: I really liked him coming at school. I just thought

935
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: he was in a kind of a you know, bad situation.

936
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: He's clear number three behind Charles Johnson and Mike Wallace.

937
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: But now he's got an opportunity to shine, and he's

938
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: doing now in the pros what he did at Maryland

939
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 1: and and quite he looks a lot better now than

940
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: he did at Maryland. I didn't actually love him coming

941
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: out of Maryland, but he looks great now. Yeah. Oh man,

942
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: he was Mr Everything there. He was Mr Everything there.

943
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: They asked him to do a little bit of everything,

944
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: and now that he's they've hyper focused his role a

945
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: little bit more. Um Man. I was really excited about

946
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: stefend I thought they got a steal in the draft

947
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: getting him, And so I really can't advocate add adding

948
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs enough, really great option in PPR leagues too,

949
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: I I cannot again, I cannot advocate that ad enough. Um.

950
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: Speaking of another wide receiver, how about Jeff Janis. Injury

951
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: opportunities make kings of no one's no one's going to

952
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: pick him up. The packers are off, and that's what

953
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: that's why he was a deep dive um guy. He

954
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,720
Speaker 1: wasn't on the main waiver column. But because that offense

955
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: has had so many injuries to wide receivers right now,

956
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: if you're in a deeper league or competitive league where

957
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: all the big names are always gone, I always had

958
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: people coming at us in the Twitter mentions and in

959
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 1: the comments, like all these guys are gone in my league.

960
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: What the heck janis is a name to potentially pick up,

961
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: which is which is never true? By the way, It's

962
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: not you only had two catches the last week. I

963
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 1: know because it was every sort of later when every

964
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: every receiver on the Packers only had two catches, well,

965
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: and and in the second and in the second half,

966
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 1: it was it was tough sleddon right, it was tough

967
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: sledd in the second half. But projecting forward, if if

968
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: time on Gumery is out, obviously Randall Cobb is still

969
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: banged up. Jeff Jannis is absolutely worth an ad in

970
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: this awesome He is a freak athlete. And that's why

971
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: I like sure nobody, nobody sets Twitter ablaze more unjustifiably

972
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: than Jeff Janis. He gets on the field because like metrics,

973
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: Twitter and draft Twitter loves him because like his his

974
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: measurables coming out of college, out of Saginaw Valley sets. Right,

975
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: we're actually comparable on some levels to Julio Jones. That's

976
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 1: the type of athlete Jeff Janis is. He's six three,

977
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: he's got great He's six three to twenty, runs like

978
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 1: a four three forty. He's a big, fast guy. He

979
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: looks um, he looks the part, certainly, he's just I

980
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: just don't know about We don't know about his actual skills,

981
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: right right, he's been can run? Can he run routes

982
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers out there, who was a precision guy?

983
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: Does he got the requisite hands to play with Aaron Rodgers?

984
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: Those questions we don't know. But at least physically he

985
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: looks he's got he's got pretty good hands. But that's

986
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: why that's why I put him on the deep dive,

987
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: is because if you're in one of those deeper leagues

988
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: or more compe to, the league's scoop him up now

989
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: during the bye because of those other guys like Montgomery

990
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: might be out for a little while. Janis is gonna

991
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: get this whole extra week of practice and meeting time

992
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: with the Ones, and that's that he's gonna have two

993
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: weeks of that before they come back against Denver and

994
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: they've been they've been kind of missing a deep threat

995
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: in this offense with Jordy out there. That could be

996
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: Janis's role. And I'll say this, Aaron Rodgers for some

997
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: reason likes to force feed the new guy the confidence,

998
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: get these guys him in, do you know what I mean?

999
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: So it's done that plenty of times. So I think

1000
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: if Montgomery is out, that's why I really liked Montgomery.

1001
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: But but if Montgomery is out, I could see Jeff

1002
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: Janis getting force fed five, six, seven targets. All Right,

1003
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: we gotta stop talking about a guy who's like not

1004
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: even playing this week. Can we talk about Christen Michael

1005
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: wants to get to the Cowboys. I want to get

1006
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: the guy who can actually help people in the next

1007
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: six days. And Christian Michael is taking reps with the

1008
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: ones during the Cowboys by a week and all of

1009
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, and he's available in a lot of Like now,

1010
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: there's been a lot to hype about him because of

1011
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 1: his time in Seattle. He never got a chance behind

1012
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch. They trade him to the Cowboys. This is

1013
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: the time to pick him up. I'm not saying start

1014
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: him this week, but he is certainly worth a speculative ad.

1015
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 1: See what the Cowboys do this week, see what happens

1016
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: with Randall and McFadden and does this turn into a

1017
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: three headed monster or does Michael actually get maybe the

1018
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: second most touches in the backfield. And uh, that's a

1019
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 1: guy that's interesting to me. Um And speaking of Fab, butchet,

1020
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: I spent forty eight dollars ago. I didn't get Chuck

1021
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: Anddrick West, so I got Christian Michael for um overpaid

1022
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: for him obviously. But at this point in the season, guys,

1023
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of running backs out there. That's

1024
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: why again, as you mentioned Fabs specular, that you gotta

1025
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: go pick this guy up. I've been saying for weeks

1026
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: to pick him up. Because Joseph Randal has been in

1027
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: the joint bell zone. He's been rushing for like one

1028
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: point one and two point one yards per carry. Christen

1029
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: Michael is an explosive athlete. He's coming buying that offensive

1030
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: line right and like Josp Frandles has not been good.

1031
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: The the them's the facts, and uh, that's why they're

1032
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: willing to turn the to turn it over to Matt

1033
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: Castle because Brandon Weheeden has also not been good, and

1034
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: Kristin Michael, they're trying something new. So we just abolished

1035
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: the running back position from fantasy. Oh no, what we

1036
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: should have abolish is r BBC's NFL team should have

1037
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: to play one running back for the snaps every single week.

1038
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 1: Well in life would be I've been on board with

1039
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: the idea that they should get rid of committee simply

1040
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: because it's just not it's not effective. It's just not

1041
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: effective football. I mean, forget, forget fantasy. Just from the

1042
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: football standpoint, it's not good. And I'm waiting for the

1043
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: point I'm waiting for the tipping point when NFL coaches said,

1044
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: you know what, this is out of control. We need

1045
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: to give one guy. It was just like so great

1046
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: back in the day. I don't know how long you

1047
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: know a lot of people out there listening have been

1048
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: playing fantasy football. But you know it was Barry Sanders,

1049
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: and it was Emmett Smith, and you know Terrell Davis

1050
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: and all these great running backs who basically they were

1051
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: getting the ball. It didn't matter where it was, they

1052
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: were getting the football. Maybe they'd come out if they

1053
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: weren't great pass catchers in passing downs third downs, but

1054
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: they were getting the football right now when you you

1055
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: look at the last five to ten years, when teams

1056
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: are saying we wanna, you know, utilize guys to the

1057
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: best of their abilities. Well, to me, like, okay, a

1058
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: guy like Todd Gurley, he's gonna be an old school guy.

1059
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a running back who you're not taken

1060
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: out of the game. Okay, But there's too many running

1061
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 1: backs this day and age that come out of school

1062
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: and then they end up falling into this r BBC

1063
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 1: mess um. And to me, I agree with Marcus. Get

1064
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: the guy the football twenty times a game. Let him

1065
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: get into a groove instead of here, you play one

1066
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: series next. Since you play one series, you're out the

1067
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: next series. Sadly, that's that's not gonna happen because we're

1068
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: not NFL coaches and they don't care about it. We

1069
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: should be. But let's gait a couple of names in

1070
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: the waveward. Then we gotta dap it and get out

1071
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: of here. Sure, look, I see Michael Floyd on here.

1072
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, really, you're adding, Michael, why the reason game

1073
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: no here here? Here's why. It's not just the one

1074
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: good game. It's as statistical the trend for him right now.

1075
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: When he started, when he came in early in the season,

1076
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:06,439
Speaker 1: he was only playing the Snaps because of his He's

1077
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: up to like now and they're playing the Ravens next week.

1078
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: We've got We've got Denver, Green Bay, Chicago and the

1079
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: Bengals on a by. That's a lot of starting wide

1080
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: receivers that are out. Pick up Michael Floyd if you

1081
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: need a spot start. That's why he's on the list.

1082
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: You know, I can't advocate it only because look, uh

1083
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: you look at the offense. John Brown's hogging up a

1084
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: lot of targets now, Larry Fitzgerald still they're using all

1085
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: they all ate last week. But you know who didn't though,

1086
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: was the running backs and they lost. So I think

1087
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: they go back to the run game. I think they

1088
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: they force feed the ground a little bit more. I

1089
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: don't think the opportunities will be there for Michael Floyd

1090
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: as much. Um. And I'll tell you this, I wish

1091
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: reception perception was here because Michael Floyd drops a lot

1092
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: of passes. He reception perception advocated starting Michael Floyd last

1093
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: week and he was right. So uh, Anyways, it's a

1094
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: spot start. He's on there he's not to pick up,

1095
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: and the rest of season you're not looking at a

1096
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: guy who's going to start for you. Everywhere there's a

1097
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: trio of guys that at least take a look at

1098
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: Davante Adams coming back from injury and Brandon coming off

1099
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: Brandon coming off a pup and there's about a hundred

1100
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: exclamation marks next to David cop He could be back. Guys,

1101
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,959
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this moment all year. So now

1102
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: it won't be a three headed monster there in Tennessee.

1103
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: It won't be four. Hopefully somebody will go away he

1104
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: Hopefully he comes in and can take it over because

1105
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 1: the other three have been so uninspiring. How you speak

1106
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: of Bishop Sank you that way, I mean we were

1107
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: laughing down in the fantasy that you're that was like

1108
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: your Captain Kirk voice a little bit, but we're laughing

1109
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 1: in the fantasy Stronghold day today we like you remember

1110
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: when Bishop sank he scored two touchdowns on how funny

1111
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: is that? And then it's sank He had a career day,

1112
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: My cluster had a career day, an Tony Andrews had

1113
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: a career day. Nothing since David cob is eligible to

1114
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,399
Speaker 1: come back onto the NFL action in week nine, he'll

1115
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: he'll see the field then hopefully. So that's why, like

1116
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: nour in this week or the next week, maybe scoop

1117
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: him up. You need running back help because he could

1118
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:06,879
Speaker 1: he could come over, come in and take that over,

1119
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,240
Speaker 1: or he could come in and could be a fourheaded monster. However,

1120
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: I do think it in early for the potential that

1121
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 1: he takes over that back. I've always said this. I

1122
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: think it's a it's a bit of a slap in

1123
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: the face two players to assume a guy, especially a rookie,

1124
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: could come in after eight nine weeks and and perform

1125
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: given that he hasn't practiced really um, I will say

1126
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 1: this though the talent levels there currently start practicing this week,

1127
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: so he left two weeks of practice and the other

1128
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: thing he's had a position of need running back. Um.

1129
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: But what I wouldn't play him immediately, but I tell

1130
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 1: you that that's fantasy playoffs. If he does nothing for

1131
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 1: the first two weeks, don't drop him. Don't drop him,

1132
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,280
Speaker 1: because I do believe in the fantasy playoffs he could

1133
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: make an impact. That's why it was this wasn't a

1134
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: pick him up and start him right away. This was

1135
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 1: to pick him up for the potential that he takes

1136
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: over the backfield because Todd Gurley didn't do didn't do

1137
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: jack for four or five weeks either, and then came

1138
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: in and steamrolled a lot of good defenses. Now granted

1139
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: he's in worldly talent. Yes, yes, yes, let's do day

1140
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: lap to get at here. Let's do it because up

1141
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: depths depth. Alright, daily depth time. Let's start with you,

1143
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,360

1146
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: did uh any sort of power rankings on the depth.

1147
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do a real quick power rankings like

1148
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: Marcus did his Aquitine characters. Oh sure, I'm gonna do

1149
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: my five favorite uh in sending order Star Wars video games.

1152
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: tough list. Uh, Alright. Lego Star Wars Lego and the

1153
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,919
Speaker 1: Star Wars Arcade game. We all played that at some point.

1154
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: I want these stand up Star Wars are kids. That's

1155

Speaker 1: So number five for me is Jedi Night to Jedi

1157
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 1: Outcast had some clunky parts, however, it had some of

1158
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: the best lightsaber battles ever. We a lot of time

1159
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: in high school slashing each other and force throwing light

1160
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: slaber sabers around. So that was fun. Uh. That was

1161
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: the first time to introduced the force too, right, I

1162
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: think so, yeah, you had you had forced poshing, force fighting.

1163
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. Number four Star Wars

1164
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: Tie Fighter. That was the PC game. Oh my god.

1165
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: I didn't get to play a ton because my PC

1166
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: was trash when I was a kid, But I had

1167
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: a friend who had a PC and we played a

1168
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: lot of Star Wars High Fighter. Tie Fighter that was

1169
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: like the x Wing. X Wing was the first one.

1170
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: Tie Fighter was the sequel that was better. But that

1171
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: was like the flight Simulator one, you know. That was

1172
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: really exciting and awesome. Number three Star Wars Battlefront awesome. Uh.

1173
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: Number two Rogue Squadron two Rogue Leader in the game Cube,

1174
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: one of the launch titles. Phenomenal great game. Number one

1175
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: Star Wars Nights the Old Republic. I haven't played the RPG. Phenomenal.

1176
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: It was not like can then really like with the movies.

1177
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: It was like a book thing. But awesome story, awesome gameplay.

1178
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: One of the better twists I've ever had in a

1179
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: in a video game. So there's my Star Wars video game.

1180
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: I did play Roke Squadron. Awesome game was amazing. I

1181
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: was way too hooked on x Wing Anti Fighter as well. Uh.

1182
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 1: Daily adapts, great daily DAPs, great daily depth from Marcus Grant. Well,

1183
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep the video game theme going. Here we go.

1184
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: This goes out to the guys at the Cauldron who

1185
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: do a lot of good stuff. And you know, I

1186
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: don't know if Shadowy week figures are going to look

1187
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: down on Bomb because the culture does a lot of gifts,

1188
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 1: a lot of videos, a lot of things like that. Uh,

1189
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: they put one out. I don't know if you saw

1190
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: this on Sunday night Monday morning. Uh. You see people

1191
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: do the the techno Super Bowl mockups of certain plays

1192
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: that the Beast Quake and that sort of thing. They

1193
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: mocked up the Colts Special Teams disaster. Yeah, it was.

1194
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: It was phenomenal. Where you have everybody lined up and

1195
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 1: then half the team or ten guys run to one side.

1196
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: One guy comes back and lines up behind Griff Whalen

1197
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: and uh, you knows, disaster, Why did that happen? But

1198
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: the best part is it was like a you know, yeah,

1199
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna pick the plays. And then they have the

1200
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: drop down menu that says the w T w T

1201
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: fake fake field goal or whatever, and it clicks it

1202
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: and it gives you another pop up list L O

1203
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 1: L are you really good to do this? And then

1204
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 1: of course they run it and we all know how

1205
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,320

1208
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: I wish I was in the video games. I have

1209
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,320

Speaker 1: you guys dig them. And yeah, the effects are pretty

1212
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: are pretty cool. But my DAP, my hero, my favorite

1213
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: person on this entire planet, Alex Gilhar because yesterday now now,

1214

Speaker 1: my schedule is insane from five o'clock Sunday morning until

1215
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: Wednesday at noon, I'm basically working higher time so the

1216
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: Star Wars tickets go on sale. I'm asleep because I'm

1217
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 1: exhausted from doing HQ and and and doing Fantasy Live,

1218
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: and I haven't gotten a lot of sleep. So I

1219
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: got a text message last night from Alex who says

1220
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: I got Star Wars tickets for all of us, and

1221
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: I couldn't have been happier. I swear to God, Alex

1222
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Galahar is my favorite person on this whole plan. And

1223
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: uh I I came in here and I hugged him,

1224
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't even care to admit that

1225
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: I hugged a man on the podcast because he got

1226
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: me tickets. It's gonna be Marcus, Alex, myself, Matt Harmon.

1227

1230
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: Chris Day. Oh, there we go. That's how it happened.

1231
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: The thing was, I had been planning on buying just

1232
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: a ton of tickets anyways, but tickets are supposed to

1233
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: go on sale after the trailer aired at halftime. All

1234
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden, about five twenty Pacific time, I saw

1235
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 1: people tweeting like, oh bomb my Star Wars tickets. I'm

1236
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: gonna cry, And I was like, excuse me. It's like

1237
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 1: these weren't supposed to go on sale for hours. So

1238
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: I had my laptop and my desktop at home. I'm

1239
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: like furiously clicking trying to get the site up, and

1240
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: I was able to get a nice chunk of six seats.

1241
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: So I had told them I would buy tickets for

1242
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 1: us earlier when they came on sales. So I got

1243
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: a nice chunk and we'll be going opening night. Good.

1244
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: Can't wait? Nice? You know what? So are we dressing up? No?

1245
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,320

01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: I won't dress up, But can I bring a lightsaber?

1247
