1
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, September third. Welcome to the NFL

2
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show, where we're one more sleep from actual football.

3
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: It's me and your man, MG Barcus Grand joined by

4
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: Michael F. Floyo and Laqwan Jones. We've got a packed show,

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: not a lot of time to get to it, so

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: we have the Week one slate on tap. Also have

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: some fantasy hot takes later on in this show, but

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: let's dive right in with some fantasy headlines. One headline

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: in particular one of interest to not just fantasy managers,

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: but Bengals fans. Jamar Chase, who's been in the midst

11
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: of a hold in during contract negotiations.

12
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: Was seen wearing pads at practice.

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: So I don't know what this means for later on

14
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: in the week, but we do know there are still

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: drafts happening because of the situation. Florio, if you are

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: still drafting him, where are you comfortable taking him right now?

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: I did a yesterday and I passed on him for

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: AJ Brown, which might seem like a hot take to some.

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 3: I have them back to back in my rankings and

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: I just.

21
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: Opted to play it safe.

22
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 3: I think if he falls in he like, you could

23
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: put Jamar Jefferson justin Jefferson.

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: I combined them into one.

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 3: You can put Jefferson ahead of him too, if you

26
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 3: would like. After that, there's no way I'm taking any

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 3: other wide receivers over him. But I am worried still

28
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: because we saw him at practice. But he was just

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: like crossing the street. He wasn't really practicing, and that

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: is concerning.

31
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: Look on, let's just say everything somehow works itself out.

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: He's back on the field for week one. Is it

33
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: as simple as if he plays for the Bengals he

34
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: plays for you?

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: Yes, a little bit.

36
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: But I am a little worried about that slow start

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: in the beginning because, like we said, this guy hasn't

38
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 4: really been in full practice form, Like we don't know

39
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 4: what this is gonna look like. So week one, like,

40
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: I'm more so playing it safe and if I have

41
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: other guys, if I went heavy in the wide receiver department,

42
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 4: might be actually looking at the bench Jamar Chase.

43
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: It's crazy a lot of folks, fantasy managers, Bengals fans alike,

44
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: keeping a close eye on Jamar Chase.

45
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: As we get closer to the start of Week one.

46
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: Week one actually begins tomorrow nights.

47
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: It is the Ravens and the Chiefs, a rematch of

48
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game. You can see that eight twenty

49
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: pm Eastern Time on the National Broadcasting Company and looks

50
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: a lot of storylines, a lot of big changes. Derrick

51
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: Henry is now in Baltimore. But lakwan, if there's one

52
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: thing that you were keeping an eye on in this game,

53
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: what is it for you?

54
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: It's definitely Xavier Worthy.

55
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 4: Marquis Brown has ruled out, so therefore I'm looking for

56
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: a guy that I can plug and play that's going

57
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: to make a big splash. And listen, this Ravens defense

58
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 4: is without Mike McDonald, so it's like you're looking at

59
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 4: this defenses not as as scary as it's been. There

60
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 4: are two seasons removed from allowing the most completions of

61
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 4: twenty plus yards and the most yards per play. So

62
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: this may be a defense where Xavier Worthy can capitalize

63
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: and take advantage of Marquis Brown out of lineups.

64
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna be very interesting to see how the

65
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: target distribution goes in this Kansas City offense. Still can't

66
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: believe the NFL let the Chiefs get their hands on

67
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: the guy with the fastest forty times bills.

68
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: Yes, that thankes a lot.

69
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: One other big game before the big full Sunday slate

70
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: that comes on Friday as the International Series gets started

71
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: in South Polo, Brazil. It is the Packers and the Eagles.

72
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: You can see that Friday eight to fifteen pm Eastern

73
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: on Peacock. A lot of big storylines here, but Floria,

74
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: which one are you keeping your eye on?

75
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 3: I want to know how AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith

76
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: are going to be utilized. I've already flagg planted AJ Brown,

77
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 3: have him top five, have him ranked ahead of Jefferson,

78
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: which I know is bold to some, but I also

79
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: really like DeVonta Smith here. And my whole reasoning is,

80
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: I think Kellen Moore is going to take this offense

81
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: into the twenty first century, more passing, more deep passing.

82
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: And the biggest thing is they're going to introduce motion

83
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: into this offense, which the Eagles have not done since

84
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: they've acquired AJ Brown. It's what led to Keenan Allen's

85
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: career year last year, all of the motion usage. I'm

86
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: hopeful that both of these receivers can get used in

87
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: that way. A bunch. I think a career years in

88
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: store for at least one, maybe both of them, and

89
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: I just want to come to fruition in Brazil.

90
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: The good news is that both Batman and Skinny Batman

91
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: have found out how to be productive together and so

92
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: it's sort of been a nice one and one a

93
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: situation for fantasy managers over the last couple of years.

94
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: That gets us to the start of the Sunday slate.

95
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: A whole lot of early games on tap, including Pittsburgh

96
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: Steelers heading down to Atlanta to take on the Falcons.

97
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: Some may be saying this is the Arthur Smith game

98
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: against the team that let him go after two seasons.

99
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: For me, I want to keep an eye on that

100
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: Falcons offense. I want to see how many targets we

101
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: get for the combination of Kyle Pitts and Drake London,

102
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: and more specifically, how many quality targets we get for

103
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts and Drake London. The big frustration for all

104
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: of us who had one or both of those players

105
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years is that the quarterback

106
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: play was deficient. You could not get a quality target

107
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: consistently from either Desmond Ritter or.

108
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: Taylor Heineke or Marcus Mariota. You name your pick now.

109
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins comes in.

110
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: Yes, he's coming off in achilles injury, but what he's

111
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: done the last few years has been great to elevate

112
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: other wide receivers, hoping that having a quality quarterback and

113
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: improved quarterback play takes Pitts in London to the next level.

114
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: I know Kyle Pitts dealing with a bit of a

115
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: hamstring tweak, but all signs point to him being ready

116
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: to go for Week one. We got the Cardinals at

117
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: the Bills and Lakwan. I know there is one particular

118
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver you have your eye on in this one.

119
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: Absolutely, We're going to Dorschland and there will be fireworks

120
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: week one. I don't know who's rolling with me, but

121
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: I got Greg Dorton a couple of starting lineups, because, man,

122
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 4: this dude has been one of the most hungriest wide

123
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 4: receivers underrated in the league. And you have Kyler Murray

124
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 4: and him that had the previous chemistry.

125
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: All those other guys they don't really.

126
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 4: Know Kyler Murray.

127
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: So I'm going with the chemistry.

128
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 4: I'm going with the separator, and I'm going with a

129
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: guy that I really believe in this entire summer.

130
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: Florie, We've both been dorsch pilled at this point, haven't we. Yes.

131
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm not starting him week one, but

132
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: I'll love for Lakwan's sake, I'm rooting for him.

133
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm very curious standing on business, fellas, standing on.

134
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: Business, I'm we're going to buy you a heart or

135
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: heart over height yes, shirt that you can wear on

136
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: the show.

137
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: Short King.

138
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: I fully support that absolutely.

139
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 4: Short King's over here.

140
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: We got the Titans and the Bears.

141
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm very curious to keep an eye on Caleb Williams

142
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: right now. He was the number one overall pick, a

143
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: guy that I watched was close to my heart for

144
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: a couple of years at the University of Southern California.

145
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: We saw him in the preseason go out and do

146
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: some really big things, make some plays. He's a guy

147
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: who can extend in the pocket and not a terrible matchup.

148
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: In Week one, the Titans were sort of middle of

149
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: the road against opposing passing games. Williams not necessarily a runner,

150
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: more of a scrambler, but a guy who can give

151
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: you some extra yards with his legs of course, he

152
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: has three really good wide receivers in Dj Moore, Romo

153
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: Dunzh and Keenan Allen as well. So I want to

154
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: see if he gets this year started off with a bang.

155
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: I said he's going to be a top ten fantasy quarterback.

156
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: I said he's going to get over four thousand passing yards.

157
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see if he can get there, or

158
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: at least get started. Gonna get there in Week one,

159
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: that would be amazing. Curious to see how how quickly

160
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: he starts his NFL career.

161
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: Patriots are the Bengals.

162
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about Jamar Chase and maybe

163
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: him being on the field.

164
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: We'll see. But Lakwan, what else are you looking for there?

165
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 4: I'm looking for the Cincinnati Bengals backfield, Like, how's this

166
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: gonna split up? Like we all been talking Zach Moss,

167
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 4: we all been talking Chase Brown. How is this going

168
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 4: to pan out? Like one of these two running backs

169
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 4: are gonna have to set the tone week one to

170
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: honestly make some manager satisfied with their draft picks all summer,

171
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 4: I kind of been splitting them up all summer, where

172
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: like I'm taking some Zach Brown, I'm taking some Chase

173
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 4: some Zach Brown.

174
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: I combined it the two.

175
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 4: Thanks Forio, but Zach Mawson Chase Brown, Like, I'm looking

176
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: to see who's going to be getting these targets out

177
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 4: of the backfield, Who's going to be explosive out of

178
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: that backfield. We know Zach Moss is the starting running back,

179
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 4: but I honestly believe.

180
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: This might be a sixty to forty split in week one.

181
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'm very curious because I've been on

182
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: the Chase Brown train, but I think they're gonna be

183
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: split fairly evenly. I think between the two of them,

184
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: I like Brown because he's got more.

185
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: Pass catching up side. Yeah, that's reason I'm a fan

186
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: of him.

187
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: Big matchup in the AFC South in Week one, the

188
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, the defending champions of the division against the Colts.

189
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: And everybody loves Anthony Richardson, But Florio, you were keeping

190
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: an eye on the thing that we probably have debated

191
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: the most of this offseason in Houston.

192
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 3: Exactly that look. Fantasy Twitter was ready to come to

193
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 3: blows with each other over how the targets in this

194
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: wide receiver room is gonna be distributed. And I've made

195
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: it clear that, like I think Nico Collins is the

196
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 3: safest bet here, but none of what we think matters.

197
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: What truly matters is what happens on the football field,

198
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 3: and we are finally going to get our first glimpses

199
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: of how these guys are going to be used. I

200
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 3: know in preseason we get to saw a bit, but

201
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 3: nothing matters more than when the games actually start counting.

202
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 3: So look, if you drafted these guys, you probably go

203
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: ahead and start them week one. Definitely Nico Collins. The

204
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: other two I think are in play as well. But

205
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 3: we're gonna get a lot of answers to the test

206
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: starting this Sunday.

207
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just gonna be really interesting.

208
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: I still hold to the belief that it's gonna be

209
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: kind of a different guy every single week, and we're

210
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: going to try to figure out who gets what win.

211
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: Maybe we start to get.

212
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: Some answers coming up against the Indianapolis Colts coming up

213
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: this week, the Jaguars at the Dolphins, a battle of

214
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: the Sunshine State, and similar to what we're talking about

215
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: with the Houston Texans wide receivers, I'm keeping an eye

216
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: on the Miami Dolphins backfield. I have been all in

217
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: on Raheem Mostert this offseason, but that's mostly because of

218
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: the ADP. Davon ah Chan is still a really talented,

219
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: really explosive running back who's going to get a lot

220
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: of opportunity now. Whether or not he is the RB

221
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: one or all RE two in Mike McDaniel's offense, we

222
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: still remain that remains to be seen. There's also the

223
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: issue of Jalen Wright starting to get a lot of

224
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: hype the last couple of weeks, starting to get talked up.

225
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: Got they spent a draft pick on out of the

226
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: University of Tennessee. He is going to be a part

227
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: of this offense in some way. Very curious to see

228
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: how much a part of this offense he's going to be.

229
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: Who's going to be the lead guy, what situations they're

230
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: going to use them? And I'm still not back down

231
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: on Raheem Moster, but we're gonna get a big idea

232
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: of what Mike McDaniel wants to do with this offense

233
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: very very quickly.

234
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: I think against the Jaguars here in Week.

235
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: One matchup in the NFC, South Carolina Panthers trying to

236
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: build off of what was a pretty awful season last

237
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: year for Bryce Young and the Saints. Who are I

238
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: don't know what the Saints were doing, to be honest

239
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: with you, They're just sort of treading water at this point.

240
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: But Lakwan, what has your eye for this matchup?

241
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously it has to be Bryce Young. Can

242
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 4: he get this offense going? Can this o line protect him?

243
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 4: Because my man was back there getting killed last season.

244
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 4: So I'm more so looking how does he look with

245
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: Deontay Johnson the new addition Xavier look at how is

246
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: this all going to work with this offense to be

247
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 4: able to go downfield create some scoring opportunities. This is

248
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 4: a tough matchup against a division rival, the Saints, and

249
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 4: they fairly were at the bottom of the table of

250
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: most points allowed to quarterbacks. So I'm looking at Bryce Young,

251
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 4: how he looks taking the step forward and can this

252
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 4: offense really come together in jail and having production of

253
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four fantasy season.

254
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been saying that I'm excited, intrigued, I guess

255
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: by Bryce Young because of all the things they put

256
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: around him. I mean not only the weapons, but they

257
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: also went and tried to bolster the offensive line as well.

258
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: So Hopefully that makes a difference and we'll start to

259
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: find out Bryce. Yeah, I'll start to find out.

260
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: Vikings at the Giants.

261
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. I know we talked a lot about Sam Donald

262
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: and what that means that that's not why we're.

263
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: Here, though.

264
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: Sam Donald's revenge game against his old stadium. No, Malik Neighbors,

265
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: That's all I care about in this game. I'm so

266
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 3: excited for Elik Neighbors. And look, they changed his number

267
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: to one. And this is a quote that he said

268
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: about like ten minutes ago. I know I'm a rookie,

269
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 3: I really don't feel like one. I'm in a new system,

270
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: new offense, new league, just going to continue to be

271
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: who I am. I feel like I was made to

272
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 3: be here. Malik Neighbors was my wide receiver one in

273
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 3: the draft process. He can do literally everything on a

274
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 3: football field. The Giants love him. I think we're gonna

275
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: see nine ten targets weekly starting in week one. I

276
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 3: think you start him from day one, and it might's

277
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: not a little bold. I think he could finish as

278
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: a wad receiver one this year.

279
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: WHOA, it's a far cry.

280
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 1: That comes a far cry from him talking about Daniel Doones, right,

281
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: right after he was drafted. I think we're all very

282
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: excited to see mylague neighbors get on the field for real.

283
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 2: For the New York Giants, It's time to see who

284
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: will deliver.

285
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: Presented by Uber Eats, talk about the guys we think

286
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: are gonna go big in in week one or for

287
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: the season. We can do either one. So Lakwan, who

288
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: is your fantasy hero?

289
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 2: Is it week one? Is it season long?

290
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: It's gonna be week one. I think he's gonna make

291
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 4: a splash, Caleb Williams. I probably fell in love with

292
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 4: the hard knocks with this guy. He brings confidence, swagger.

293
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: I think he's going to make a big splash going

294
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 4: against the Titans, where this may not be a defense

295
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 4: that you know, is the defense that we scared of

296
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 4: in the back of the past with under Mike Rable,

297
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 4: where they were keeping guys out of the end zone,

298
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 4: stopping a lot of teams on third down. With this

299
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 4: electric wide receiver corps, I don't see Caleb Williams not

300
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 4: making a splash in his debut for the NFL season,

301
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 4: all right.

302
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm interested in watching Caleb Williams say

303
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: this season and very curious to see how he gets

304
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: off to a start.

305
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: For you, who is your hero.

306
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: Minus for the year and for week one? Tray McBride.

307
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: I have him ranked as my tight end one for

308
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 3: the season coming into the year, but I think he

309
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: is going to eat against the Bills this week. The

310
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 3: strength of the Bills defense is their cornerbacks. I think

311
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: they'll make life hard on all of the Cardinals wide receivers,

312
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 3: but they really are week at safety and at linebacker.

313
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 3: I think Trey McBride is going to eat. I think

314
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 3: they're going to focus in on that and just continue

315
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: to force feed him the ball over the middle of

316
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: the field. Just a couple of more touchdowns this year,

317
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 3: and we're talking about this guy running away as the

318
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 3: tight end one. In my opinion, I'm look, it's going

319
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: to come against my Bills.

320
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: That's how That's how you know.

321
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: I like this guy a lot. I picked him to

322
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 3: eat against my Bills.

323
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Shout out to you too, because you were one

324
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: of the first people that I knew of to put

325
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: him as the tight end one. I know other folks

326
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: have come around. You were early in that train for sure.

327
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: For me, I like Kenneth Walker, certainly this week against

328
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. I'm coming around to Kenneth Walker. I

329
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: just didn't really know what to make of Kenneth Walker

330
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks offense early in this offseason, but I'm

331
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: starting to buy in, and I think this week, especially

332
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: against the Denver Broncos, You're gonna see Walker get a

333
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity. It was not a great defense for

334
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: Denver last year. Now mind you one of them, because

335
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: they gave up seventy points in one game to the

336
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. I mean, you take that out and still

337
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: wasn't good. It just wasn't really really awful. But I

338
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see a lot of Walker, especially trying

339
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: to get him to the edge, use that speed and

340
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: that explosiveness. The question, though, becomes how much we see

341
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: Zach Sharboney, But I'm willing to bet that it's going

342
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: to be mostly Kenneth Walker getting a lot of work for.

343
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 2: The Seattle Seahawks.

344
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: That was Who Will Deliver, presented by Uber Eats, where

345
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: you can get almost almost anything for game day, the

346
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: official on demand delivery partner of the NFL.

347
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: Order.

00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: Now, all right, we are just getting started here on

349
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: this episode of the Fantasy Football Show. We're gonna come

350
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: back talk a little waiver wire just in case you're

351
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: making some last minute changes to your roster before Week

352
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: one starts. Plus the rust of the Sunday slate as

353
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: well as Sunday Night and Monday.

354
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: Plus got some hot takes that's coming up after.

355
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: The break here on the NFL Fantasy Football Show, It's

356
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: time to drive your lineup, presented by the all new

357
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: hybrid Toyota Camry.

358
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at this week's waiver wire options.

359
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: And this was a list put together by our research

360
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: staff here at NFL Fantasy. Jalen Wright talked about that

361
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: Miami backfield JK Dobbins gonna be part of maybe a

362
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: trio in Los Angeles. Dontavian Wicks is part of a

363
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: deep green Bay wide receiver corp. How did I Mitchell

364
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: I do love him as a late round sleeper. Troy

365
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: Franklin back with his college quarterback in bow Knicks, Jerry

366
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: Judy in Cleveland, Taysom Hill once again a thorn in

367
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: our fantasy size there in New Orleans, and Tyler Conklin,

368
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: who I think has some real sleeper potential as the

369
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: tight end for Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets.

370
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: Back to our look at the Sunday slate starting with

371
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: the afternoon games, and a long time rivalry going back

372
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: to the AFL, the Las Vegas Raiders and the Los

373
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: Angeles Charger. Of course they weren't always in those cities,

374
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: but that's where they are right now. They will play

375
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: right next door to us at SOFI Stadium, And I

376
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: just want to know what this new look Chargers offense

377
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: is going to look like. I mean, they talk about

378
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: bringing in Jim Harbaughs the head coach, Greg Roman as

379
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. They spend a high draft pick on

380
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: Joe Alt on the offensive line, They add JK. Dobbins,

381
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards, They draft Kamani Vidal. This is night and

382
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: day different from last year when you had Justin Herbert

383
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: slinging it to Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and Austin

384
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Eckler in this backfield. Will this be a run heavy outfit?

385
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: How many times have they let Justin Herbert throw the ball?

386
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: He also is still dealing with a foot injury right now.

387
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: So many unknowns in Los Angeles with the Bolts and

388
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: Week one against a long time rival is going to

389
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: be an opportunity to get a sense of what we

390
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: can expect for the rest of the season. Speaking of

391
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: longtime rivals formerly, I mean the Broncos and the Seahawks

392
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: used to be in AFC West rivalry. It is not

393
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: anymore with these Seahawks now in the NFC. But Lakwan,

394
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: what are you looking at with Denver and Seattle.

395
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be keeping a close eye on bow Knicks.

396
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 4: I mean, preseason looked amazing for him, him rolling out

397
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 4: of the pocket, creating all platform plays, making the big

398
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 4: plays that he needed to in the preseing. I'm looking

399
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 4: to see if he can keep the same energy against

400
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 4: a very tough Seahawks defense where I think a lot

401
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 4: of people are sleeping on Mike McDonald his ability to

402
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 4: get the defense to play tough and not hoping that

403
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 4: bow Knicks can overcome some of those challenges.

404
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: I started to buy into bow Knicks watching him in

405
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: the preseason, and it's made me buy in to the

406
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: Broncos as a whole. Like I'm wishing I had drafted

407
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: more Courtland Sutton. I'm starting to get more excited about

408
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams. Now it's gonna all come crashing down on us.

409
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 2: After a couple of weeks. But for right now, this is.

410
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: Where I am with bow Knicks and the Broncos offense

411
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at the Cleveland Browns. I know some are

412
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: saying this is the Amari Cooper revenge game. We know

413
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb is paid and happy, But Floria, what are

414
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: you mostly focusing on here?

415
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: Look when the game started, I'm gonna be paying attention

416
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 3: to those guys, but we know to play them already

417
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: in fantasy. What I want to learn in this game

418
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 3: is how are the Cowboys going to distribute the running

419
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 3: back touches. We're hearing more and more the last week

420
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 3: or so that Rico dal is the one that is

421
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: starting to kind of run away from it. But I

422
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: keep having maybe it's like a little Jerry on my

423
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: shoulder or something like that, Like he loves Ezekiel Elliott.

424
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: So I don't think Zeke is ever going to be

425
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 3: fully removed, not at least in week one. But now

426
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: you add in Dalvin Cook as well. I have all

427
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 3: of these guys as sits until we kind of get answers,

428
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: but I think we'll quickly start to get those answers

429
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 3: come Week one.

430
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you never know what Jara's gonna do

431
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: and how much he is going to be poking at

432
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy to get the ball to Ezekiel. Ellen's gotta

433
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: sell Jersey's baby, gotta sell those fifteens. Man, he's wearing

434
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: the old number from Ohio State. You gotta get him

435
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: back in and make those dollars. Why you can't the

436
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: commanders at the Buccaneers last year, these two defenses were

437
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: very forgiving when it came to opposing passing games, and

438
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: you thought this was going to be a fest and

439
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: a score fest.

440
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll be again this year. Who knows.

441
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: But one thing I am watching is Jaden Daniels. I

442
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: talked about Caleb Williams. I said earlier this offseason that

443
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: I've moved Caleb ahead of Jayden Daniels in my rankings.

444
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I'm out on Daniels. I think his

445
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: rushing ability certainly gives him an opportunity to be incredibly productive.

446
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: I like the fact that he's a more polished passer

447
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: than saying Anthony Richardson or a Justin Fields when they

448
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: first came into the NFL. But even if he still

449
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: has ups and downs throwing the ball, he can get

450
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: out of the pocket and get you those points with

451
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: his legs. Curious to see how quickly he gets going

452
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: and how much Cliff Kingsbury has a designed running game

453
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: built around him. And you know what this does and

454
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: means means for guys like Brian Robinson, what it means

455
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: for Austin Eckler as well. But I think we're gonna

456
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: get an idea of what Cliff Kingsbury wants to do

457
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: with his offense and how productive Jayden Daniels can be

458
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: right off the bat against that Tampa Bay defense.

459
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: Over a Sunday night.

460
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 1: Football, lakwan, your Rams head to Detroit to take on

461
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: the Lions. They played a great playoff game each other

462
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: last year, Rams coming up just on the short end,

463
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: So now they have a chance to go back to

464
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: the place where their season ended to get things going.

465
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: What are you paying attention to?

466
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 4: It is payback time for Matthew Stafford to light it

467
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 4: up against his former team. I'm looking for Matthew Stafford

468
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 4: with a fully assembled offense when the Avengers assembled last

469
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 4: season with in Week twelve, he led the NFL with

470
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 4: two hundred and eighty four passing yards per game. This

471
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 4: is one of the most dangerous teams with a full, healthy,

472
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 4: assembled squad, So I'm looking for him to go in

473
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 4: and get the dub and put up some high fantasy points.

474
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 4: With Poka Nakua, Cooper Cup, and Kiraen Williams all assembled healthy,

475
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 4: let's go.

476
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: You know what, I have DeMarcus Robinson as a sleeper

477
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: this week because I think it's gonna be love that.

478
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a score fest between these

479
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: two teams. I mean last year in the playoff game,

480
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford went for what three sixty seven and two touchdowns.

481
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: I think both he and Golf are gonna have huge

482
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: games on Sunday night. Football week ends on Monday night,

483
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: as it always does, the Jetropolitans at to San Francisco

484
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: to take on the forty nine ers. Aaron Rodgers back

485
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: and healthy again, taking on his childhood team who he

486
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: is still upset about because they passed over him and

487
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: left them sitting sad in the green room like somebody

488
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: stole his bike. What are you paying attention to for

489
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: this one?

490
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 3: Look, it's Aaron Rodgers. I mean everyone with eyes is

491
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 3: paying attention to Aaron Rodgers in this game, and like,

492
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: there's so many narratives here, Like you said, his arch

493
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 3: nemesist of forty nine ers he's facing, He's returning to

494
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 3: Monday Night Football Week one where he was stolen from

495
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: us last season.

496
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: There's all these narratives.

497
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 3: But to me, what matters more than narratives is facts.

498
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 3: Like Aaron Rodgers is forty years old, he is attempting

499
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 3: to be the first quarterback and him at Kirk Cousins

500
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: will be to start Week one after tearing your achilles.

501
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 3: Only Dan Marino in the last forty years has come

502
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 3: back from this injury at the quarterback position. So I

503
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: before I even consider starting him in fantasy football, he

504
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 3: needs to pass the eye test. He needs to look

505
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: like himself again. And you no big deal. You just

506
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 3: got to go up against Nick Bosa in the forty

507
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: nine ers. Deepens to your first game back.

508
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: You know, if he makes it five plays, he will

509
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: have played more than he did last year.

510
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 4: Hey, that's a win.

511
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 2: That is an actual fact.

512
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: All the things that we are keeping an eye on

513
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: for this first week of the NFL season. That was

Speaker 1: Toyota dot com slash Camery. It is time now for

517
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: hot takes. We are going season long when we're talking

518
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: about some of our hot takes for the year, So

519
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: LQ make it spicy.

520
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 4: Ooh, you know, I love bringing the heat. It's fire

521
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 4: content only. I'm going Drake London as a top seven

522
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 4: wide receiver to finish the twenty twenty four campaign. Zach Robinson,

523
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 4: the offensive coordinator. There there has never been somebody on

524
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 4: the Twitter streets saying Drake London can't play ball, he

525
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 4: can't do this, he can't do that. The question and

526
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 4: fingers are always at the quarterback position. You have Kirk Cousins,

527
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: who's a fairly accurate quarterback in his career getting him

528
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 4: the ball, who is able to generate wide receiver ones

529
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 4: in his career. Drake London lighted up this season boy

530
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 4: because we ride ah.

531
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 2: I love that pick. I love that call one hundred percent. Florio,

532
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: what is your hot take for the season.

533
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 3: I think Calvin Ridley remember last year when everyone was

534
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 3: projecting him to be a wide receiver one and it

535
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: didn't quite work out. He's gonna make up for it

536
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: this year with a wide receiver one finish at the

537
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: position top twelve, maybe even top ten, maybe even higher

538
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 3: than that. I am very bullish on Calvin Ridley, and

539
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 3: part of it is because of this new offense with

540
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: Brian Callahan. They're saying we are going to pass more

541
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: and Calvin Ridley is going to be our Jamar Chase.

542
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 3: But also Will Levis, like Will Levis loves to air

543
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 3: the ball out and he does have a problem where

544
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 3: he loves to lock in on his first read. Might

545
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: not be great for real life purposes, but for fantasy

546
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 3: that is his first read. I think he's going to

547
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: get a ton of deep volume. He's gonna be used

548
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 3: a bunch in the red zone. They're starting to figure out.

549
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: They're like, hey, this guy's good after the catch as well,

550
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 3: which Jacksonville didn't really seem to figure out last year.

551
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 3: So I think he brings all the same upside as

552
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: last year and it hits this time.

553
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you guys have Drake London and Calvin

554
00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: Ridley apparent and going neck and neck to try to

555
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: getting to the top ten.

556
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: I'm cool with both of them.

557
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm getting super spicy at the tight end position. We

558
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: haven't talked enough about Jake Ferguson. What ferglicious can do

559
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: in this cowboy offense. We know Cede Lam's gonna get

560
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: the targets. Where else are they going with the football?

561
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks on the down side of his career. The

562
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: running back room looks like a shambles. They're leaning on

563
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: Rico Dowdell. They brought back Ezekiel Elliott, Dalvin Cooks on

564
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: the practice squad. Jake Ferguson got a ton of targets

565
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: last year. He's gonna get a ton of targets this year.

566
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: I think he can be a top three tight end.

567
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: That's how spicy I'm getting with Fergie. Don't be two.

568
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: Thousand and late. Get on board right now.

569
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: With Jake Ferguson. I think we see it get started

570
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: against a good Cleveland Browns defense. They're gonna try to

571
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: lock down on Ceedee Lamb. Fergie's gonna be open in

572
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: the middle of the field for Dak Prescott.

573
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: There you go.

574
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: Those are our hot takes. We are looking forward to

575
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: the start of the season. It gets going in a

576
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: little more than twenty four hours from the time that

577
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: we put this show together for you, looking forward to

578
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: getting it started. The Ravens and the Chiefs. Of course,

00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: we'll be back here with you all throughout the NFL season.
