However 10 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: good Josh Allen's you see Ella's feeling. That's how good 11 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: I'm feeling in my life right now. All right, Well, 12 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: it's uh something we may have to get into because 13 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk some quarterbacks and talk a whole lot 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: of things here on this show. Of course, we do 15 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: have these starts and sits for week ten. You can 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: check them all out by the way on NFL dot 17 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: Com at NFL dot com slash starts sit where Michael 18 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: left Florio posts him. Every week, we'll have some question 19 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: mark players and we will also get into some under 20 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: the radar must starts. Of course, we got money guns too, 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: because somebody's getting into club this week. But let us 22 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,199 Speaker 1: start at the quarterback position with your starts and sits 23 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: for the week. Who do you have? It? Starts off 24 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: with two players that are quickly just becoming must starts 25 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: in justin fields and to a tongue of Eloa, Gino Smith, 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: another quarterback that I think is just becoming a must 27 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: start at this level. And then Russell Wilson if you're 28 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: going a little bit deeper, he has a good matchup 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: this week. Uh. And then some sits Kirk Cousins on 30 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: the road where he has been playing much more poorly 31 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: than he has been at home. Tom Brady against Seattle 32 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: and Germany over there, than Aaron Rodgers against the Cowboys. 33 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: And Matthew Stafford, who is in concussion protocol, but even 34 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: if he plays, I would sit him alright. So they 35 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: got the ups and the downs on a general level. 36 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: Let's look at it a more micro level. We'll start 37 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: with Gino Smith and he is taken on the tip 38 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: that's right, don't right back. Uh, He's taken on the 39 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: Buccaneers in Munich, Germany. It's the NFL's first ever game 40 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: in Germany. Of course, it's an early start, by the way, 41 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: so We'll be sure to set your lineups on Saturday. 42 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: Kicks off at nine thirty a m. Eastern six thirty 43 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: am Pacific. You can see that game on NFL networking 44 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: streaming on NFL Plus. That was a mouthful. In the meantime, 45 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: let's get back to Gino himself, who's playing well enough 46 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: that he has entered the NFL m v P conversation. 47 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: And even though the Buck's defense once upon a time 48 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: was kind of scary, Gino's just playing that well that 49 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: maybe we sort of ignore that. Yeah, you see there 50 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: two passing touchdowns and five of his last seven. He's 51 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: done it in seven of nine games this year. He's 52 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: now topped eighteen point nine fantasy points in five of 53 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 1: his last seven. The multiple touchdowns almost every week shows 54 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: that he brings such a safe floor. But what's only 55 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: elevating that floor and his ceiling is he's running even more. 56 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: He's rushed for at least twenty five yards and two 57 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: straight and four of the last six and over forty 58 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: yards and a couple of those games as well. And Marcus, 59 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: we talked about it all the time. Forty rushing yards 60 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: is the equivalent to a hundred passing yards. So if 61 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 1: he's given you anywhere close to that now on top 62 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: of his like two and two touchdowns, now we're we're 63 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: talking about a guy that is matchup proof and you 64 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: start each week absolutely and again we keep saying this, 65 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: This was not supposed to happen. Nobody anticipated this, but 66 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: Gino Smith has been great so far this season. You 67 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: mentioned Kirk Cousins the home and road splits. I know 68 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: that sometimes you don't necessarily read much into them, but 69 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins, they've been so drastic. On top of it, 70 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: the matchup just not a good one on paper against Buffalo. Yeah. 71 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the times home road gets 72 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: blown up a little bit because it depends on matchups 73 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: and we're talking about small samples. But we're pretty late 74 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: in this season now, and it is glaring with Kirk Cousins. Uh, 75 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: he's averaging fewer than fourteen Fantasy points per game on 76 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: the road. His best road game is sixteen and a 77 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: half Fantasy points. That's worse than his worst home game 78 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: this year. So there has been a really large discrepancy 79 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: from home road for him. Plus, we know the Bills 80 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: secondary is one that you want to get away from 81 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: they've allowed the third fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this year, 82 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: and just last week the Jets ran all over them. 83 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings, especially if Allen 84 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: is out, if they decide, hey, let's just ride Dalvin Cook. 85 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: This seems like a very likely scenario, especially if you 86 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: mentioned no Josh Allen. Potentially that means the Bills aren't 87 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: likely to run out and hide and put up a 88 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: whole lot of points, which means the running game possibly 89 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: stays in play from Minnesota for all four quarters. So 90 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: we know that Josh Allen, we're still waiting to see 91 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: what happens with him, and we'll talk about his wide receivers. 92 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess Stefan Dick is still very much 93 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: in play. But there are a lot of other wide 94 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: receivers who were up in the air for Week ten. 95 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,559 Speaker 1: Who are your starts and sits? There A J. Brown, 96 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: which I know is low hanging fruit, but I never 97 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: get to write anything about a J. Brown, so I 98 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: wanted to give him some shine just once. Uh. Christian Kirk, 99 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: who I don't think enough people realize is still a 100 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: wide receiver one in total points on the year. Mr 101 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: air yards Chris O Lave going up against a team 102 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: that struggles against the deep ball, and this same thing 103 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: with Jerry Judy there against the Tennessee Titans, and then 104 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: some sins Michael Pittman Jr. Unless you're desperate, like I 105 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: have a league where I can't get away from him. 106 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 1: But if I have options, I'm taking the other option. 107 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: Adam Feeling in that tough matchup against the Bills, Julio Jones, 108 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: who is back, but he's not playing as much as 109 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: I would have liked to see. And then Wandale Robinson 110 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: because the Texans secondary has been good this year and 111 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: I think this is a game that the Giants just ride. 112 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: Sake one. You mentioned Jerry Judy. I've got him as 113 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: a sleeper in my sleeper column this week, and you 114 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: like him against the Titans. He's really taken over. It's 115 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: kind of the top target for Russell Wilson in the 116 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: last month. So maybe there is some life for Jerry Judy. Yeah, 117 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: exactly that he's been their top target the last month. 118 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: He's also been I was surprised to see this. He's 119 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: been their most efficient wide receiver on the deep ball 120 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: this year. Um which comes into play this week because 121 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: no team has been burned more on passes of twenty 122 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: plus air yards then the Tennessee Titans. They have a 123 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: by are the highest passer rating on that, the most yards, 124 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: the most completions allowed, and they're up there and touchdowns 125 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: as well. Plus they've just allowed the third most fantasy 126 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: points to receivers this year. So there's ever a week 127 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: to get Jerry Judy in your starting lineup. I think 128 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: it's this So Jerry Judy is ascending. On the other side, 129 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman seems to be going the other way. It's 130 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: the guy that we loved who looked like he had 131 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: wide receiver one upside. And I mean it's been pretty 132 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: much a month. It hasn't been very long. Floor this 133 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: whole thing has gone completely south for him. Yeah, it 134 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: was just a couple of weeks ago. I was saying, 135 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: you start this guy each and every week. I gotta 136 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,119 Speaker 1: take the l on that. And it's not his fault. 137 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: It's Sam Ellinger. It's the this Colts offense. Last week 138 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: he had his worst game of the year. He saw 139 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: just six targets, three catches, finished with fewer than six 140 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: fantasy points. And now we don't know what this new 141 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: play caller his offense is gonna look like, what Jeff 142 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: Saturday's offense is gonna look like. If I had to guess, 143 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: I would guess that they're gonna try to just give 144 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: Jonathan Hiller as many touches as they possibly can and 145 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: run as much as they can, which hurts Michael Pittman. 146 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: But again, he's a guy that I would only sit 147 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: if you have another option. That is a low volume 148 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: passing offense with a questionable quarterback and a bad offensive line. 149 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: There's just not a lot that's redeeming about Michael Pittman 150 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: and the Colts offense going forward. That gets us to 151 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: this week's edition of how We're Feeling When we run 152 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: through a list of players and we can talk about, well, 153 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: how we're feeling about them heading into their Week ten matchup. 154 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: So let's start with Justin Herbert. He is on the 155 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: road at San Francisco on Sunday Night Football, and it's 156 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: been kind of a struggle for Herbert in a lot 157 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: of ways this season. How are you feeling about him 158 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: against a pretty good defense. I'm getting away from Justin 159 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: Herbert if at all possible. He scored fewer than thirteen 160 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: fantasy points last week against the Falcons. He's been averaging 161 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: around thirteen fantasy points the last month, and now he's 162 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: gonna go up against a forty Niners defense that is 163 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: getting healthier. It is very scary. I know what the 164 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: way quarterback is this year. You might not have a 165 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: better option, but if you do, I would definitely go 166 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: the other direction. I'll look at Darnell Mooney with the 167 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: Bears taking on the Detroit Lions, and I'm feeling fairly 168 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: positive about Mooney. He is still the number one target 169 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: there in Chicago for an offense that is getting more 170 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: efficient and more effective. It starts with justin fields and 171 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: being able to run the football, but that does open 172 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: things up in the passing game, and the matchup is 173 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: as good as you want. The Lions defense continues to 174 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: be awful. We continue to pick on them at every opportunity. Now, look, 175 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: don't get it twisted. Mooney is still probably at best 176 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: a low and wide receiver too, but the arrow is 177 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: pointing up for him after what we've seen from fields 178 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: the last few weeks. On the other side of that game, 179 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 1: there's DeAndre Swift, who was very limited last week. He's 180 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: been limited in practice so far this week. How are 181 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: you feeling about him against a bad Bears run defense. 182 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: Earlier in the week, I said, until we see him 183 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: get his normal workload, I don't think you could start 184 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: him again. But I'm changing my tune of bid. I 185 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: think this is a matchup that I would still take 186 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: the upside swing on DeAndre Swift. They're they're saying he 187 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: could get more work as the season progresses. The Bears 188 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,479 Speaker 1: just allow a ton of production on the ground, especially 189 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: if you can get outside the tackles, and that is 190 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: where DeAndre Swift thrives. So while I'm i'm having I 191 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: say Jamal Williams is a guy that you start, I 192 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: think DeAndre Swift is one that you get in as 193 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: an RB two or flex guy. This week is well, 194 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: some value still there with him staying on the running 195 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: back theme. Ezekiel Elliott expected to play. He did miss 196 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: some time before the bye with a knee injury, then 197 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: had the week off is expected to be on the 198 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: field against Green Bay Packers, and I feel fine about him. 199 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: I mean, we sort of know what he is at 200 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: this point. He is at best a low running back 201 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: to probably a running back three, But right now he's 202 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: gonna get opportunity. The Packer run defense is bad. I 203 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: expect the Dallas is going to take a lead in 204 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: this one and be able to kind of grind clock 205 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, so that gives Zeke some upside 206 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: and if he finds the end zone, ends up being 207 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: a pretty good day. So look, as long as you 208 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: realize what Zeke is right now, you can put him 209 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: in your lineup and I think he'll be okay for you. 210 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson Jr. Last week surprised everybody by leading the 211 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: Dolphins in snaps. This week, he's got a bad Brown's 212 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: run defense. How do you feel about him? I think 213 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: he's in play this week. I'm not sure if he's 214 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: gonna take over this backfield away from Raheem Moster, but 215 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: at the very least, it looks like we're looking at 216 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: a split here. Like you said, he had more snaps, 217 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: he had more targets and the same number of carries, 218 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: and he did more with it than where he Moster 219 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: did last week. And the Browns are are just a 220 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: great match with during the top five and fantasy points 221 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: allowed to running back. So I think Wilson either is 222 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: a low end RB two or a flex guy. There's 223 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: upside here with him. Deonte Johnson taking on the New 224 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints this week, and I'll tell you that I'm 225 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: not really loving the situation here. I mean, the Saints 226 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 1: they're not the defense that they once were, but they 227 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: can still flex every now and then and put up 228 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: a good performance. On top of that, the Steelers offensively 229 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: have just been bad. Only the Colts are scoring fewer 230 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: points per game than the Pittsburgh Steelers right now. Kenmy 231 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: Pickett has not so of the issue. He has been 232 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: turnover prone, He's getting sacked a lot. Deonte Johnson really 233 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: hasn't done much with his opportunities this season. Still looking 234 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: for his first touchdown of the year, and I'm not 235 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: sure it happens this week against the Saints. You might 236 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: be forced to start him, but you don't have to 237 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: love the situation. Clyde Edwards Hilaire has been about as 238 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: confusing as they come at the running back spot. How 239 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: do you feel about him against the Jaguars this week? Uh, 240 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: There's no way I could start him, even if there's 241 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: a fire like like clein Edwards Hilaire last week played 242 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: just seventeen percent of the snaps, carried the ball four 243 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: times for five yards, and he had one catch on 244 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: two targets. The first couple of weeks, he was fantasy 245 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: relevant because he was getting in the end zone every week, 246 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: sometimes multiple and we were like, what's gonna happen when 247 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: the touchdowns go away? Yeah, they've gone away, and it's 248 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: it's just an absolute nightmare in this backfield. So even 249 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: in a good matchup against the Jaguars, I would get away, 250 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: but watch, he'll catch two touchdown. I was wondering if 251 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: I could peg one of the Chiefs running backs as 252 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: a sleeper, and I just couldn't come up with an 253 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: argument strong enough to actually do it. Last one is 254 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, who has been frustrating the last couple of 255 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: weeks for fantasy managers taken on the Minnesota Vikings, and 256 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: I will tell you that how I feel about him 257 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: depends on whether or not it's number seventeen throwing the football. 258 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: If Josh Allen is not there, then I really don't 259 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: want any part of Gabe Davis. With case Keenum, I 260 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: just don't see the targets really being there for him, 261 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: and if they are, I don't know how quality they're 262 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: going to be even if Allan is there. I don't 263 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: know that I would love Gabe Davis this week just 264 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: because Josh Allen playing on Sunday means he is playing 265 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: at less than a and that is worrisome on its own. 266 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: So it's been frustrating for Davis. This just doesn't feel 267 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: like a week to push the envelope. Wait for Josh 268 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: Allen to get healthy and then we can rediscuss this 269 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: in the future. Week Tim starts sit tight ends, Michael 270 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: left Floria, who do you have, Greggy d Greg Dolchick 271 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: who has been playing really well before the Broncos by 272 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee, which we're gonna explain why cole commet against 273 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: the Lions, Kate and although monitor Cameron braids status coming 274 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: into the week, and Dawson Knox is a sit against 275 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: the Vikings, so is Mike gets Sicky, Robert touny In 276 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: and Juwan Johnson. Because I know he had a big 277 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: game last week, but for all of his production was 278 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: because the defense stopped trying. If you take away that 279 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: one play one catch for White, yeah, it was it 280 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: was kind of a weird play that he ended up 281 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: scoring that touchdown on Hey, quick bit of tight end 282 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: related news that broke just as we were recording this show. 283 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: Darren Waller has been placed on injured reserve. He's been 284 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: dealing with a nagging hamstring injury, so he's gonna be 285 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: out for at least the next four weeks. Raiders hoping 286 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: that helps him get healthy and get back on the field. 287 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 1: Has not played in a game since Week four, so 288 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: if you've been waiting, you have to keep waiting a 289 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: little bit longer, but not at least you can probably 290 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: put him in an I R spot if that helps 291 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: you out a little bit. As for Titans who will 292 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: be available this week, Tyler Higbee has been one of 293 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: two usable pieces for the Rams. We keep saying it 294 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,959 Speaker 1: bad week last week, but you were expecting a bounce 295 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: back this week against the Cardinals. Yeah, it's because it's 296 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. They not only allow by far the 297 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: most fan to see points to tight ends, they allow 298 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: the most targets, catch his yards and touchdowns. That's literally 299 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: every category of production allowed to the tight ends. They 300 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: are number one in and most of them aren't even close. Plus, 301 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: like last week, I said, starting no a fant because 302 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: of the matchup and it came through. He had a 303 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: really good game. Let's like Tyler Higbee has been is 304 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: a better tight end than No a fan. He's been 305 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: used more consistently. I know a couple of down games 306 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: have people wanted to cut him and move on from him, 307 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: But I think that wouldn't be a mistake. I'd give 308 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: him at least one more week in the absolute best 309 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: matchup for a tight end. Cutting Tyler Higbee? Sure, but 310 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: is there really anybody out there that's as consistent or 311 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: more consistent than Higbee? Probably not so godspeed if that's 312 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: what you decided to do. Co Commit who caught a 313 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns recently, in fact, the three touchdowns in 314 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: his last two games for cole Commit. And we have 315 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: been picking on the Lions all year long, so this 316 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: doesn't really seem like a reason to stop picking on 317 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: the Lions at this point. Had three touchdowns in the 318 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: last two weeks, like you said, after not scoring one 319 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: since late for the last two weeks. He's coming off 320 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: his best game not only of the year but in 321 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: a very long time, with twenty two Fantasy points. When 322 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: I like those, he saw his season high six targets, 323 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: So while his floor isn't the safest, we have a 324 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: young talent that we've all been very excited about for 325 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: a couple of years now getting more volume in and 326 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: a sending offense. And I know the Bears aren't passing 327 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: a ton, but he's a tight end, right, Like six 328 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: targets a touchdown, that's good enough to get the job done. 329 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: That is pretty much all we want and end the Lions, 330 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: just hand the Lions, just get in the end zone 331 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: and pretty much everything else for you as a tight 332 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: end if you get started this this year at all, 333 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: actually last few years probably is how it's been. Let's 334 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: talk about some players we think deserves some more hype 335 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: and are must starts for the week. Start us off 336 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: Florio Amanras st Brown, this sun God, because people apparently 337 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: are getting worried about him because he's had a couple 338 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: of down games and like last week he scored just 339 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: under ten Fantasy points. Sure, that's a down game, I 340 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: guess for him, but that's just how high his andred 341 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: has become. Now. Uh, well, he's been a little up 342 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: in the air in the middle of the year because 343 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: remember he missed time. Then he had that one weird 344 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: game where he was very limited. But since there bye week, 345 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: ten targets two weeks ago, nine targets last week, Like 346 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: that is great volume. And we know how good this 347 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: guy is. So while people are starting to get worried 348 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,359 Speaker 1: about him, to me, that just makes a buying opportunity. 349 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: He is still a player that I would start each 350 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: and every week. And if he starts scoring touchdowns again, 351 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: and you won't be worried about all those other things 352 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: because everything else seems to be okay. Deebo Samuel is 353 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: back and healthy after the forty Niners by and he's 354 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: got the Chargers and now, like if you look at 355 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: the Chargers and it comes to wide receivers, it maybe 356 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: doesn't look all that appealing. I wouldn't worry about it. 357 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: Deebo is going to get the football in his hands. 358 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: He's going to get it in his hands with an 359 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: opportunity to make plays. Maybe he doesn't get as many 360 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: carries now because Christian McCaffrey is there, but he's still 361 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: going to get targets. He's still the number one option 362 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: in the passing game for Jimmy Garoppolo. And because suddenly 363 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: this Niner's offense has war weapons that you really have 364 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: to pay attention to. With Deebo, CMC, Brandon, Aiyuk and 365 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: George Kittle, who do you defend? Where do you put 366 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: all your resources? Devo is going to be absolutely fine 367 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: and absolutely should be a mustard. Somebody asked me if 368 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: they should start Deebo Samuel or I think it was 369 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: like Terris Marshall or something like that. I'm like, come on, 370 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: that's not even a question. What do we do? What 371 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: are we doing? Everybody? Yeah, No, Deebo Samuels, that dude. 372 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: Who else is a must start for you this week? 373 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard? And I know you might be thinking, like, yeah, 374 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: I know, to start Dallas Goddard. I just wanted to 375 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: give him some love because he's kind of the forgotten 376 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: man in Philly. We talk a lot about A. J. 377 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: Brown and Devanta Smith and Hurts and Sanders, but Dallas 378 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: Goddard is just out here consistently doing his thing. He 379 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: was the tight end one last week, but every week 380 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: now he's given you about six plus targets. He's in 381 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: most weeks in double digits. And he's one of the 382 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: few tight ends markets that in any given week could 383 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: give you like fifteen to twenty points. He's a must 384 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: start every week. He is in that second tier of 385 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: tied in maybe the third tier, depending on how you 386 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: break it up. Right, You've got the guys at the top, 387 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: maybe you put a George kittle by himself in the 388 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: second tier, and then there's guys like Dallas Goddart and 389 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: Zach Ertz who are doing just fine. My other must 390 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: start this week is Tony Pollard for the Dallas Cowboys. 391 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: And and we talked about Zeke and what his opportunity is, 392 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: and I like that, but Pollard is just more explosive. 393 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: And that doesn't mean that Zeke is bad, but Pollard 394 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: doing more with his opportunities. Again, the Packer run defense 395 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: ranked thirty in the NFL. They're not stopping the run. 396 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: The Cowboys, I think you're gonna be able to do 397 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: a lot of anything they want. Maybe Pollard gets a 398 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: few targets, maybe he finds the end zone. But either way, 399 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 1: he should absolutely be in your lineup as a running 400 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: back to this week. Speaking of running back, Jonathan Taylor 401 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: was the consensus number one overall in two but does 402 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: he need to be riding the bench this weekend. We've 403 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: got Florio starts and sits for the running back position, 404 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: plus clubbed up that's coming up next Sun the stardom 405 00:18:55,119 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: sid h them show starts and sits at running backs 406 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: for a week. Ten. Who you got Jonathan Taylor because 407 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: it became he became not too obvious to include in 408 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: this article the day he won bust the biggest bust 409 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: of the first half, Tony Pollard going up against the 410 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, Jamal Williams in a good match up 411 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: against the Bears, and then on the other side of that, 412 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: David Montgomery in a good matchup against the Lions. Some 413 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: sits Naji Harris against the Saints. C E h who 414 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: we spoke about earlier against the Jaguars, Devin Singletary against 415 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: the Vikings, although if Alan sits, I like him a 416 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: little bit more. And then Brian Robinson because I think 417 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: this is a week that if you start any Washington 418 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: running back, it should be Antonio Gibson. Gibson's about the 419 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: only guy I think I have any confidence in there 420 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: in Washington right now. Jonathan Taylor. It's been a frustrating 421 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: year for him, but you've kind of made the point. 422 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: You think that with the new head coach and new 423 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: play caller and just a bad offense altogether. Maybe it's 424 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: time to lean on JT. T. Yeah, we have a 425 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: head coach who was a former offensive lineman who got 426 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: hig tired because he does not like analytics for some reason. 427 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: So I think that just means that he is gonna 428 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: run the ball a lot. And even if they fall 429 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: behind in this game, the Raiders have allowed a bunch 430 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: of production to running backs through the passing game, and 431 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: when no Naheim Hans there, I think Jonathan Taylor will 432 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: get a lot of targets or or whatever the amount 433 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: of running back targets are, he will have the bulk 434 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: of them. We'll see what happens if he can bounce back. 435 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: I know a lot of folks frustrated with him. You 436 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: mentioned Nagy Harris on the other side. It's been pretty 437 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: much a lost year for him as well. The wall 438 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: seem to be closing in and the Saints defense just 439 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a really comfortable matchup at all. Yeah. 440 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: I know Kenyan Drake ran well against them, but prior 441 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: to that, we have seen them stop a lot of 442 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: good running backs this season that they've been good against 443 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: the run for years, and Najy Harris just has been struggling. 444 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: He hasn't reached thirteen Fantasy points since Week three. He 445 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: hasn't reached fourteen all years. So like his floor and 446 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: ceiling is kind of somewhere between like ten and twelve 447 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: Fantasy points. Uh. The explore simness hasn't been there ever 448 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: since we saw him suffer that ankle injury. The past 449 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: game numbers have dipped. There's just a lot of reasons 450 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: to dislike Nagy Harris. And then on top of it all, 451 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: there talking about maybe Jalen Warren could get some more 452 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: work in this backfield as well. Well, it's been rough 453 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: for anybody who drafted Nagy Harris, probably in the first round, 454 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: and it just doesn't seem to be any signs that 455 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: it's going to get better anytime soon at all. So 456 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: that was sad. Let's get onto something happy. Lace up 457 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: to Timberland's get your fit because we're going to Club Dub. 458 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: Everybody who who is going to score twenty five points 459 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: in their fantasy matchup at least twenty five points, maybe 460 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: even more. I mean, look, Joe Mixon got into Club 461 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: Dub twice and still have five bucks left over afterwards. 462 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: Who's gonna get into the club this week for you, Florio, Honestly, 463 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 1: this is a player that it wouldn't surprise me if 464 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: you had a Joe Mixon type day. It's Sae Kwon Barkley. 465 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: Oh no, there we go, there we go. The money 466 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: is still coming out. It's Sae Kwon Barkley because Houston Texans, 467 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: and he's Sae Kwon Barkley. And I don't want people 468 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: to forge yet. How good Sake Kwan has been? Uh, 469 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: he's top two in the league and touches in yards 470 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: per game, he's up there in Fantasy points per game. 471 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: And then the Houston Texans not only do they allow 472 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: the most production to running backs, they've allowed a top 473 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: like five running back five times six times already this year. 474 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: They've allowed running back to top twenty seven fantasy points 475 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: like five or six times already this year. And their 476 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: secondary is playing well. I think this is a game 477 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: that the Giants are gonna look to throw the ball 478 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: as little as they can and just ride Sa Kwans 479 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: in the ultimate smash spot this week. But you know 480 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: who else is in a smash spot. Christian McCaffrey, the 481 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: Fire SMC against the Chargers look, we talked to Austin 482 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: Ekeler earlier in the week on the show and he's 483 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: sort of admitted that, Yeah, the Charger run defense hasn't 484 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: been it's best over the last couple of weeks. And 485 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: so now you gotta face Christian McCaffrey, who we know 486 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: is going to run it, He's going to catch it. 487 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: He might even decide to raise up and throw the 488 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: football for a touchdown. Who knows. But you see that 489 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: twenty two or more fantasy points in four of his 490 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: last five games, he seems like an easy bet to 491 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: get to twenty five fantasy points this week against the 492 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers.
